Star Crossed

Chapter 5 - Time Freezes

JASON POV
Hey Jason don't forget just seize your moment today he told me as we walked to the class
Ok I will, thanks bro
Don't thank me he says as he throws his hand around my neck and says remember it's better to die with on one's feet than to live on one's knees we both begin to chuckled despite I've heard it many times, that's his favorite quote from *Troy: Fall of a city*

SHIRLEY POV
As I walked into the class Jason and his friend were already sitting so I just turned my face and walk straight to my sit
Morning Shirley Tony greeted me
Morning Tony, I said back with a smile
How was your night? Fine and yours? awesome as usual
Hey, do you see Miss Priya by chance when coming? no, I replied, why are you asking I added showing concern nothing he replied okay if you say so

Miss Priya is a single mom the most beautiful and one of the most intelligent staff, an elite in Deer Creek I just can't help and start thinking why would Tony be asking me about miss Priya this is the second time actually he did ask me the same question even after lunch yesterday which was my first day in school anyway it's none of my business I said to myself as I brought out my text

•Lunch period•

Can I sit with you guys, please?
Yes please do I'm Tom he replied this is Lydia, Liam, and Loveth I completed the statement, yeah I assume you two know each other before. Yes, I replied to him.
Welcome Shirley, please sit Loveth told me to thank you all, I thanked them

They all started to stare at each other finally Tom broke the moment of silence and staring by saying Ok who wants to tell her he suggested, tell me what I asked curiously. Tom just forget it Loveth told him she then turned to me who is sitting beside her and say don't mind him sometimes he gets a bit optimistic she told me as she placed her hand on my shoulder okay I said with a smile, lowing my eyebrows despite my heart yearning to hear what he wants to say

Okay thus I will tell her myself "we are called the 3LT," he said as the rest yelled no... Tom not again
I don't understand I told him
3LT he repeated himself meaning I asked it means Loveth, Liam, Lydia and Tom I started to laugh as I heard those words from him

I turned around to see if I will see Jason finally my eyes caught him then I begin to glance at him
Hey Liam said he snapped his finger on my face taking me away from my thoughts
I know he's handsome he told me you could stare at him the whole day without getting tired Lydia added no it's not what you are thinking I told them yeah it's Liam said

Do you see that girl beside him? yes, I replied to him that's Amira Khan, the daughter of Anderson Khan owner of Deer Creek he added who always claim to be his girlfriend Lydia interfered. Trust me, Shirley, when I say this he's way out of your league he added hey guys just let her be Loveth came to my defense. I think she hasn't see Drew Tom told them, they begin to laugh who is Drew I asked don't worry you will get to know him when he comes next week they all started to laugh again. let me tell you another secret Drew is more handsome than Jason Tom said no... that's not true Lydia said in profanity there she goes again Tom said as we all begin to laugh while Lydia begins to frown her face it's true that Drew is handsome but not like Jason she said
Don't mind her she always gets overwhelmed when you try to compare Jason with Drew Loveth whispered in my ear
Loveth...... she yelled as we all burst into laughter

*After school period*
Hey Loveth what can you tell me about Jason I asked as we were going home
All I know is that he's handsome, intelligent and he becomes rude after he and his mom had a fatal accident. so what happened to his mom I asked calmly she is still in a coma for 5 years now after the accident
That reminds me he changed his name from Ray to Jason last year but nobody knows why she added
If I may ask why are asking about him nothing I replied quickly ok then if you say so

When I saw Jason standing talking to some of his friends I decided to wait for him so I make an excuse
Hey Loveth do you think you can go without me because I forget my text inside the class besides I have group work with Tony
Okay she said see you tomorrow she added as she left, I know she wasn't buying the idea but that's the best idea I could come up with at that moment
So I decided to wait behind
I started glancing at Jason I could not summon the courage to talk to him after I found out that he's actually Ray I knew before

As he was walking towards me I quickly turned away in haste so I bulge into a girl that was passing by and my books fell
Hey, are you blind she yelled no... I'm sorry my bad I told her next time better look where you are going bitch she yelled as she walked by

As I was picking up the book I saw someone hand helping me with the book as well when I look up to see who the person was, behold it was Jason
As our eyes meet I lower an eyebrow it was like time freezes and nothing around move I wish we could stay like that so that I can pour out questions bothering me, I could hear my heart beating fast and the same time skipping beat by beat and a frown-smile in my heart

He brought me out of my thoughts when he says I'm Jason Arthur I'm shir- before I could complete it he completed it for me Shirley Helming as he stretches his hand for the shake I used my hand to take my hair behind my ear as I shook him welcome to Deer Creek he says hope I'll see you around maybe I replied then he left. A few seconds later I heard a girl shouting Jason please wait when she got to where I was standing,

Stay away from my boyfriend freak, she yelled at me then she runs to catch up with him I was left speechless I recalled her name is Amira Khan the daughter of Anderson Khan the owner of the school
