❇Chapter 23❇

🐺 ɭǫŋę wǫɭƒ

Just like a broken record today was a new day and I time skipped to break. The only difference was that, unfortunately for me, my friends were absent today. Kait wasn't here and neither was her cousin or her cousin's best friend. It was a Wednesday and I was alone, the bell had already rang signalling that break was here, I would've had to eat alone if I didn't meet a girl named Rosie and her friend Celine.

Rosie was a very wonderful person, as soon as I asked if I could sit with her for break, she allowed me to and her friend Celine agreed as well which was a major weight lifted off of my shoulders because I was accepted, usually in a group if one person likes you but another does not the friendship tends to go sour but I was lucky that she liked me too so I had one less thing to worry about.

I never felt left out with those two and eventually when Kait's group and I grew apart I ended up hanging out with Rosie and Celine during my breaks. However, I was more close to Rosie since on the days Celine was absent I often used to sit with her and she was the only one out of all the friends I hung out with previously, who wasn't oblivious to the fact that I was being stalked. She was the only one who pointed out that this wasn't all in my head, my eyes weren't playing tricks on me and this wasn't an hallucination.

We stood atop the balcony today, Celine wasn't here because she went to go buy something at the tuck shop so it was just Rosie and I. This was the same balcony I had hung out with Kait on the day they decided to make my hair into a bun that made me feel Chinese because of the way it pulled my eyes and begged me to wear that terrible red lipstick, but of course she wasn't here today. Most of the time when I was up here with them I'd catch on nonsense but all in the name of fun.

One of the things I used to do was bring a pocket sized mirror with me to school and as I stood upon the balcony I'd shine the mirror in the couples faces, who I saw were making out, when the sun hit. Usually they'd stand by the tree area below the balcony. They found it irritating when I'd shine the mirror on them while they were eating each others faces but honestly, I was waiting for the day when one of the couples would actually come up to confront me so I can tell them to get a room.

Yes I'm savage I know...

Also I don't want to see couples eating each others faces. Ewww. So this was my way of getting them to move away or to just stop the act entirely. I almost got confronted one time though, but not by the couples. Kait's cousin asked to borrow my mirror and she decided to shine it on this girl, who by the way was massive, and she was pissed.

She came all the way up the balcony asking who did it, sounding like she was gonna beat someone and of course everyone pointed to me. Great, how am I going to get out of this one. Luckily for me, I didn't have the mirror on me since Kait's cousin didn't give it back and she got confronted instead of me.

Yay, I was saved.

Back to today...

Rosie and I were talking about the usual stuff, which was a lot actually, Rosie was an otaku and so was I so sometimes we'd talk about anime, sometimes we'd talk about stuff we saw online on the internet and sometimes we'd point out cute guys. Most of the time she would point out guys with green eyes but personally I didn't mind guys with brown eyes and black or dark hair. Boy if you look good you look good. I don't really care about what colour your eyes or hair is.

Our conversations were pretty random, out of the blue and unexpected but we were always talking and there was no awkward silence or staring into space whenever we hung out, which was a relief for me and I can honestly say that out of all the people I met I felt most comfortable when I hung out with Rosie and Celine.

Still standing on the balcony I looked to where the principal's office was, on the opposite side of me. The sun hitting my black stockings. It was summer and I was wearing black stockings, yeah that sounds a lot like me but I hated showing my legs so I didn't care of dying of heatstroke just as long as no one saw my legs. Rosie suggested we'd sit here today however, Celine and her often sat on the field during break and sometimes sat in an empty classroom if it was raining.

It was windy today so that probably explained the change of location and the sun's rays were hitting the balcony perfectly. Me being the cold blooded creature I am was enjoying soaking up the sun even with my thick as hell stockings. Did I have a death wish? Probably? But as I said I was cold blooded so the stockings didn't really affect me in this heat and it was windy today so it wasn't that bad.

The smallest amount of wind can make me turn ice cold. My lips were already purple and my hands always as cold as ice, probably from lack of blood, you'd swear I was a vampire, my fingernails always turning purple. I was the type of person that didn't warm up easily, I'm not talking about warming up to people, I'm talking about actually warming up.

Yes, I was that girl who'd wear an oversized jersey in the middle of summer and would shiver saying I was cold when everybody else was complaining about how hot it was. In that case I'd probably die if I lived in a place with snow.

I stared into space still standing atop the balcony, close to the edge of the railing but not too close. If you stand right at the edge where the bars are, some boys have a tendency of looking up and seeing under your dress, not that I had anything to worry about, I always wore a shorts over my stockings and if I wore socks which was really rare to catch me in, I'd wear a shorts too. In fact, if I wore any dress or skirt, wearing a shorts under it was just my habit.

I was still looking where the principal's office was when I heard Rosie's voice. "Celine is taking so long." She said to which I just nodded. We then started talking and I looked down seeing some people standing on the grass patch and some by the trees, below the balcony. I looked at the grass patch below us when I heard Rosie's voice hit me.

"I think that boy is watching you?" She questioned unsure and furrowed her eyebrows. "Look down on your right, where the entrance for the quad near the tuck shop is." She looked at me. "You see him?" She asked as my eyes drifted to James or Austin, I still have to figure out what his name is. I didn't get a chance to speak when Rosie spoke again. "That is the third time I've see him walk here," she said looking below the balcony, "and each time I can't help but notice that he keeps on looking at you."

Wait, so this wasn't all in my head and she actually noticed that he was watching me? Why have none of my previous friends noticed or pointed it out? Why didn't I notice he was watching me today? Usually I notice if he is watching but Rosie was way more alert than me if she could notice and for some reason I couldn't notice today.

I was still looking at James or Austin and I nearly caught his eyes as he walked passed the patch of grass below the balcony. He walked on looking up and then left, leaving my sight as he got to the bottom of the balcony where I could no longer see him. After he had disappeared Rosie and I spoke for a while when she nudged me on my shoulder and signalled me to look again and there he was. Looking up at us and sitting on the steps close to the quad with the tuck shop.

Celine still hadn't arrived but for the first time I got the reassurance I needed that this wasn't one big illusion. It wasn't all in my head and he was watching me. Rosie noticed! She noticed him eyeing me but honestly, I didn't know what to think of this or what to do. Did he like me? I mean, by all the hints he probably did but what was I supposed to do? It wasn't all in my head after all.

Was this the reassurance I needed?
