koi no yokan

koi no yokan - (n.) The extraordinary sense upon first meeting someone, that you will one day fall in love with.

Hannah spent the night. When I wake up, she's laying beside me on the sofa, dressed in her panda onesie. Her hair is messy; strands of it are sticking out comically. She looks so peaceful though, clutching the empty ice cream tub in her hands. I sit up. I switch off the TV that we left on and look at my phone. It's half past six. I stand up and walk towards the bathroom; it's pretty early but I have nothing better to do than to get ready for school.

When I arrive to school I almost expect to see Jonah waiting for me in front of my locker, smiling from ear to ear. Part of me hopes that he'll be there, but of course, he's not. I take a deep breath, trying to hold in my tears as I open my locker. There's a photo of me and Jonah smiling on the back of the door. He's kissing my cheek and I'm laughing, full of joy. Pictures like these made us seem like the perfect couple, the one we never were. I tear the photo from the locker and I crumple it. Why am I so sad about him? I knew we weren't mean to be. I shouldn't be sad. But I am.

"Umm hey, are you gonna move or what?" I hear a voice say behind me, interrupting my thoughts . I turn around to see a boy about my age. He points towards the locker next to mine, the one I'm blocking. I hadn't even realised I was.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry." I mumble as I walk away. I look back at the boy. He was pretty good looking too; almond-shaped hazel eyes, longish light brown hair. Not as cute as Jonah but not too bad either. He didn't seem familiar though; maybe he was new here? His gaze catches mine, I blush and looked down almost instantly. He's still looking at me when the bell suddenly rings , making me jump. When I look back at him, he's already gone.
