Ice Picked Hearts

Chapter-01

I was 16 years Old when Paul Mayor joined MountainsHigh in Georgia. He is cute and girls were all over him.

He's got huge muscles and dark glowing skin that brings sparkling dots to my eyes everytime I see him. His eye colour of brown that makes me go crazy and he hardly had his hair cut and that makes him look more cute.

Luckily for me, he was my classmate. I'd always wanted to see him walk by, and weird me will intentionally rub my shoulder against his muscled arm, then pretend I didn't notice or it was just a mistake. He's just too cute for a guy.

Hello, I don't miss those huge sparks I get in my head and how I try to catch those embarrassing butterflies in my belly. Did I say butterflies? I feel the whole zoo when I'm around him. I took my time to watch him and study what he's like even if I've never had a reasonable conversation with him before.

If I had invested such time in my life and studies, I'd be a millionaire, driving a bad ass Ferrari and distributing cash to the less privilege.(lol just kidding)

Paul is a brilliant one, very quiet at times and playful when he's around his friends. He has a nice personality. He's sweet and very fun to be with and there's me, the very confused young teenager, I get crazy mood swings. I can be a depressed wild child the next minute after telling you how sweet and interesting life could be if you smile more. But most teenage girls are like that yeah?

I have this very cool friend. She is a bit taller than I am and she's one of the best friends I've had so far. I can't count the times I've given her advices to go into modeling, but she just won't listen. My instincts tells me she doesn't want to have to compete with the Schoolqueenbee, Demerit (lol, she's Merit). Well, she found out I have a crush on Paul. No matter how hard I try to deny it, she's got this annoying "hey babe look who's here" look she gives me whenever Paul walks in. Okay, okay that's it, long story cut short. I love Paul.

Mrs Margret, our physical and health education teacher wasn't really cool with students missing the sport activities and I could get a detention for missing one. Detention is an automatic definition for missing an after school Job(Yes, I work after school) and missing work means getting fired and that could lead to another whole level of depression. So let me just be a good kid. Sport was going perfectly fine until I felt so dehydrated. I took a break and drank from a bottle with Ed Sheeran's pictures customized on it (Yeah, I'm a fan) I keep it in my back sack for occasions like this.

I hardly talk to anyone and the few I did to were nowhere here so I kept to myself and sat on the soft grass enjoying the fresh air blowing on my face.

A shadow hoverred above my head and kept the sun from turning me into a barbecue. Without looking at the face of my saviour. I thought it was jewel, my friend, but then my brain registered the smell. My eyes followed the feet standing in front of me(I almost checked the middle leg tho). "Hey" The unknown said to me.

Paul?! The voice in my head screamed. Questions piled up in my head. Did he really talk to me? Is he really standing in front of me right now? He lowered his body and sat close to me. I felt waves rise and drop in my stomach when I felt his knee touched mine. Holy.... My cells were screaming and I felt goosebumps grow all over my skin(you know those things you see in movies ?the slow motions and all ? Yes, best believe it's real!)

I took a sharp breath and releasing it cost a vibration in my lung, sending shivers down my spine.

I faced him and luckily for me I met his face too. I couldn't look away "do you mind if I take the water"? He asked politely

OMG! He asked for my water. Voices were in my head. Wait Jully, is that an indirect kiss? He was still facing me expecting a reply but I was too shocked to speak. I was already playing a clip of me having my first kiss with him, and how I would love to ask him how he managed to build those abs, and hell yes, rub my fingers on them. Imaginary floating love balloons filled the air. The perfect moment breeze hit my face...

"Please" His voice snapped me out of my imaginations. "Hum, yes, sure you can have it, here" I was trying so hard not to ruin the perfect moment I've been waiting for all my life.

I watched his throat gobble down the water slowly and this moment I wished I was a vampire,"a bite on his neck, won't hurt" I thought

Hmm, cute isn't he. No no no no, get back to your right senses Jully. "Here, thank you" he returned the empty plastic back to me. I would have swallowed someone up for taking my water, but C'mon, this is Paul so I don't mind. "So, you're..."?

"Juliet, I'm Juliet" I told him "Oh yes Juliet, I knew but I just wasn't sure who was Juliet, you got a close name with your friend, Jewel" I smiled "Jewel is very different from Juliet". I was looking at him with the side of my eyes. I stroke my hair behind my ear and smiled at the moment.

He tried to say something, but then he stopped "You see, I didn't know okay, but now I know. I gotta go back " He got up to leave whispering a very quiet thank you to me, I barely heard it. I wasn't sure if I saw a smirk on his face, but it better not be.

It was nice talking to him. I could spend twenty-four hours with him and it still won't be enough. The rest of the class went super fast and soon. Mrs Margret class was over. She isn't one of my favorite teachers because she threatens me everytime with detention. Rumors said that she doesn't care about other kids because she doesn't have a kid of her own. Some said she isn't even bothered because she doesn't want any man after her ex broke her heart, but you know rumors spread so fast even though they might not be true.

I met with Jewel after class and told her everything that happened, but she didn't really take it a big deal as I did. Felt weird but whatever, I'm happy I had a talk with my crush!
