Soulmates ~ Ksimon

Smile ~ Chapter 8

{Simon Minter}

It was after school and JJ decided to take me to the library to study because we both didn't have anything to do.

So now I'm in his car, looking out of the window with an awkward silence falling on top of us.

"So... Simon! Why don't you tell me about yourself" JJ said, breaking the silence. I looked towards his direction with a little smile formed on my lips.

"Well... umm, I like to play football" I must have sounded so unsure for him, but I'm just so awkward.

"Really? I do too, I used to play it a lot as a kid" his facial expression brighten up as if he had won a puppy or something. It-

It is cute...

I smiled which soon turned into a giggle. He soon let out a chuckle. "We're here! Grab your backpack and let's get those grades of yours up!" He patted my back with a grin and got out of the car.

Fuck, I shouldn't have done this... this only makes me fall for him more... but I really like his company. I smiled to myself, getting my backpack and getting out of the car as well.

We walked into the library, sitting down at a table.

"I'm going to get a coffee before we start, want something?" He stood up, looking down at me. The same smile from before not leaving his lips anytime soon.

I looked back up at him, nodding my head. "A water please" I reached into my backpack, grabbing my wallet.

"Hey hey, no need for that! From now on just look at me as your favorite teacher" he smirked, ruffling my hair.

I chuckled, pushing his hand away "yeah yeah, have fun using that money on me" I sent him an evil grin.

"Hey! It's like 50 cents you know!"

"Yeah, still money!" I argued back, getting my notebooks out.

"Alright alright, you win!" We both chuckled, and he left to get our drinks.

I went on my phone real quick, till it started to buzz in my hands. It was from an unknown number. Weird.

I answered it and put the phone against my ear. "Hello?" I started. "Hey, Simon... It's me Talia" I frowned at her voice, millions of thoughts rushing in my head.

"Talia... why are you calling?" I really started to get anxious by this, I felt like my stomach was twisting horribly.

"I miss you Simon... I really do" she admitted, making me even more anxious, but at the same time I'm angry, sad, and happy.

I sighed and saw JJ heading towards me. "I can't do this, you'll send me right into trouble! But, I got to go! Bye," I hung up with a sigh, looking straight at JJ.

"Ready to use your time up sir" I sarcastically commented, his face starting to turn into a  considered look.

"Tough phone call then?" He gently said with his words, trying not to anger me more. Wow, I expected more for a teacher, especially someone as big and muscular. I guess this one doesn't have it at all.

"Yeah, sorry... hard teenage life, you know..." I smiled sadly. He moved his chair next to mine, wrapping his muscular arm around my shoulder.

"Hey, it's going to be okay blondie" he grinned. "You just can't call me Simon, can you?" He giggled, shaking his head. "Sorry, it's just a difficult name" he shrugged with a smirk.

"Oh it's not! I can say your first name" I chuckled, seeing his eyes light up right away. "There, keep it like that" he smiled, pointing at my lips.

An even bigger smile forming on my lips now, making him smile proudly.

"Way to go JJ" he smirked proudly, going back to where he originally set.

He really is a different one...
