Chapter 5

The necklace looked like someone who's more feminine-like would wear. It didn't suit Alec's whole demeanour. Maybe he likes these kind of style... questionable, but okay.

Blake said I would find Alec in class 301 but when I got there, I just embarrassed myself. Ms.Maddie or whatever her name was, got so irritated at the mere mention of his name, Alec.

Then the class proceeded to give me judgemental stares. I awkwardly left the classroom and school. Maybe I'll catch him tomorrow. I ended up going back home as Blake came by to pick me up. 

For the next few days, I kept going to Blake's school only to return back home with no progress. I swear, why can't Blake just give it to him, himself?

He has been lying to his mother, saying he has football practice. When really he's just going over to Emily's. Is this summer vacation or summer school?! Well, at least I haven't attended a class yet. But again I could be at home relaxing instead of going to school. It's not even my school! I cursed myself and Blake.

The phrase, 'Please be here today' repeated in my head as I got in Blake's car and he drove me to his school again. "I'm going over to Emily's," he paused for a second, "Don't tell my mom," he pointed at me with his index finger and drove away. 

Letting out a little sigh, "Yeah yeah whatever, Blake and his girl problems." I shook my head as I entered the school. With a dull expression and half-lidded eyes because I'm so over it, scanned the area. Shortly, my eyes widened and the so called dull expression shifted to a slight smile as my gaze landed on a familiar figure. This time around I had found him! Alec! Sneaking around in the hallways.

He somewhat looked like an idiot crouching down and lurking about almost down on the floor. Strangely, putting a little grin on my lips while his back was still facing me, I crouched and snuck up behind him. "Hey, what are you doing?" came out almost in whispered tone. 

He quickly turned, jumping back slightly and landed his bottom on the floor. A scrunched up expression quickly formed as soon as he landed and let out a soft, "Ahh." He got back up on his feet while displaying a gaping and a mix of scowling expression. Giving a look of utter disappointment.

"What are you doing here snob? Weren't you here last few days ago? The field is over there if you're looking for Blake," he pointed behind me.

"No, I'm here to give you your necklace. Blake wanted me to pass it to you and I don't know why he couldn't give it to you himself," I handed out my hand to give him his necklace.

I mean I know why Blake doesn't want to give it himself. He's too busy dealing with Emily.

Taking the necklace out of my hand quickly, he shoved it down his grey sweats pocket. "Let me guess, he's dealing with the whole Emily problem? Too busy?" an effortless scoff followed along.

His hand casually brushed his hair back, "He's such a hopeless romantic," he spoke with a cocky attitude, letting out a sigh while shaking his head.

As much as I hated how he criticised Blake, he was correct. From a distance I saw a blue haired girl sneaking around with 3 other guys beside her. She froze midway, her eyes widened in our direction and ran away quickly with her back hunched, followed by 3 other guys.

I heard someone clearing their throat behind me, "Alec? What are you doing here? Classes are not dismissed yet." I quickly turned around to face a stern looking man in his mid 40s. My gaze quickly landed back on Alec and he was not bothered at all about the fact that he got caught. He smirked at, I'm assuming, teacher?

"Nothin, dean," he wore a casual and cocky smile. 

Dean? Wow, no Mr.Dean or any form of respect. Saying a teacher's name carefree like that, I would never as long as I live. Now, I'm hoping at least it's not the teacher's first name. He wouldn't be that careless would he? Using a teacher's name on first name bases though why would a teacher during teaching hours not be in a classroom. The cogs in my brain slowly started to run.
