Was It... Just Me?

Calculated disclosures

What?" I say. As I feel Harry staring at my Afrikaans book
"Do you know the answer for number 3?" He asked

"Um I think it's onskuldig " I quickly say as I feel the teachers eye on us
"Are you sure?"
"No, but that's what I wrote" I say quickly
"I think it's skuldig, the guy seems guilty." He said
I look at him thinking if you knew the answer why'd you ask
Then he just stares back at me smiling

And now where in this awkward smiling situation. Until I look away cause
I can't handle it.

I sense him looking at my book again

"Harry?" I question him bluntly
He's staring again

"Keo" he mimicks while smirking

"Can I see the answer for... Number 5"
He says while pulling my books closer forcing me to move closer in order to finish my work

I keep quiet out of frustration

"How do you read your hand writing!?" He asks trying to read my answer

"Um like you read yours" I say as though it's obvious

"No, it so hard to read it,"

I decided to not take a offense to the fact that he just called my hand writing untidy and tilt my head in annoyance

"That's because my brain thinks to fast for my hands, it's scientifically proven that, that makes me smarter" I say with pride

Harry bursts out laughing

"Yoh hai (no) Keo" he says when he finally catches his breath

"I'm serious" I say confidently

"Okay then" he says smirking

"What ever helps you sleep at night" he says

The following day

"What are you doing?" I scowl at Harry as he helps himself to my pencil case.

"Nothing" he grins while taking me eraser.

Oh so that's how it's gonna be, people don't ask they just take what they want.

I thought while he was oblivious to the fact that I was glaring at him.

The next day

I need a ruler
Because I was lazy to get mine in my bag, so I decided to take Harry's without his permission

I leaned over and took his pencil case
I could feel him eyeing me. I simply pretended I didn't notice with a smirk in my mind. When I placed his pencil case back with the ruler in my hand. I
Looked at him with an ever so innocent smile while he stared at me speechless.

"Oh Harry" I sighed smiling proudly carrying on with my work

"Ohh Keo" he sighs mimicking me and shaking his head.

Yes Harry two can play that game

And we're back to grinning and awkward staring.

The next couple of weeks were like that, nothing dramatic happened and Harry and I spoke sometimes but, now it was just different.

He wasn't ignoring me anymore but he wasn't paying an immense amount of attention either we were what you'd describe as "cool". Of course there were some unresolved feelings on both sides, although at the moment it wasn't necessary to unwrap them.

"Did you know that, most of you have most likely already met you husband's and wives?" Our LO teacher Mrs Hill announced

And we all scowled in disgust
