You Belong To Me

CHAPTER 8

It's been a month after that incident. I still don't know who called her that time but she was all sweaty and nervous after that call. She dashed out of the house in minutes. Well, Megan and I have small talks after school. She spares me some glances during lectures. I still haven't figured out what I am feeling for her but day by day it's just increasing and it is scaring the shit out of me. As of father he is getting better.

"Mr. Keil?" the sweetest voice said. I must be day-dreaming again in her class.

"Yes," I awkwardly smiled. Can you just stop being so inept Nathaniel? I thought to myself.

"Meet me after school"

I just nodded. As I was senior this year I just had 3 classes throughout the day. And did I forget to mention my father owns this school?

"Hey bud," a related voice said.

"Hey, Reggie, Where the hell was you?" I inquired.

"Long story short, my grandfather is ill so our family had to leave for States. As I missed a lot of school work, dad decided to send me back as he is staying there with the rest of the family." The pain was visible in his voice. We have been friends since sophomore year. He and I used to play football together.
Reggie is a good-looking man. Girls just love him for his looks. He has brown hair and brown eyes. His jawline is defined and he is a model.

"Ohh, Everything is gonna be fine Gg" I assured him. I patted him on his shoulder.
One thing to know about me is that I am not the one who can comfort people. I don't know what to do.

"Yeah, don't worry I know you can't comfort people man," he laughed "and I heard about your father, how's he?" he added in a somewhat worried voice.

"He's doing great," my voice displayed no emotion.

"Let's head to your lounge room dude," Gg said enthusiastically.

Yes, I had a personal lounge room. Perks of being the son of the school owner. We headed towards the room. We laughed and played some video games.

"I may have or may not have heard from a little birdie that you have a crush on someone," Gg said out of the blue.

I choked on the water I was sipping.

"That bitch" I murmured to myself.

"I can hear you," Gg laughed.

"No, I don't have a crush on anyone"  I emphasized on the word crush.

"Come on man, you know you can tell me anything."

"Okay, yeah I do have a crush on someone," I said sighing but on the corner of lips, a smile was forming.

"For whom are you waiting, go and confess bro I'm sure she can't turn down a handsome like you." he winked.

"It's not easy as you say, she is involved with someone and," I sighed.

"And?"

"You have to promise you can't say this to anyone," I said a little testily.

"To whom will I say, you know you're my only best friend here." Yeah well, he does have a point here.

"She is one of my teachers," I said massaging my temples.

"Oh my god," he started giggling.

"Why the hell are you laughing? it's not like I made a joke" Annoyance was visible in my voice.

As those words came out my mouth my eyes glanced at the door and there I saw Megan. She must have noticed someone staring at her because she looked in my direction and smiled after she saw me. Reggie must have followed my eyes and remarked the smile on my face.

"She is the one right?" Gg said.

"Go tell her how you feel. Don't just gaze and sit like a fool."

"Were you deaf the time I told you she is already involved with someone?" I questioned him.

"No, but she can just leave him. I'm damn sure she does feel the same for you."

"You and Sofi both are dumb, plus how can you be so sure that she does feel the same for me. You haven't even met her." How am I mates with these two people? They don't have a mind. Maybe I should take them to a doctor and help them.

"I don't know I just have a feeling. I saw the way she looked at you."

The bell rang and that was our queue to leave. I had a grin on my face cause I was about to see the one who makes my heart beat fast. I reached her class and knocked on her door.

"Come in,"

I opened her door and entered. She was sitting on her chair and papers were scattered on the desk. She was biting the bottom of the pencil she was holding in between her fingers. She was tapping her left foot continuously. Her forehead wrinkled whenever she was dissatisfied with something. I watched her intently.

"Will you just stare at me or would you like to come here?" she said grinning.

I was startled by her voice. I stepped towards her desk, took a chair, and situated beside her. I took a seat near her.

"I like to see a piece of art." Did I just blurt out this? You are in deep shit. At the corner of my eyes, I saw Megan blushing.

"Oh" was all she said and chuckled. Oh, how I love this sound. It's like music to my ears.

We just stare at each other eyes. I don't know how much time must have passed but her eyes were an ocean and I was getting drowned in it. She bit her bottom lip and Oh My Goodness my heart just exploded in my chest. I gulped hard. Why is it getting so hot here? Isn't the air-conditioner working properly? A knock on the door frightened us. I unintentionally started to ruffle my hair. She was breathing wearily as if she just had a jog. I stood up and took three to four-step backward. 

"Yes?" she questioned. The door opened and one of the teachers came in. 

"You may leave, Mr. Keil," she stated looking at me.

"Okay," I didn't utter another word after that. I took my bag and walked out of the classroom.

As I was walking towards the parking lot. I replayed everything that just happened. I started to think about what Reggie said. Why did she bit her lips? What Reggie said is true? Does she also feel the same for me? I cleared my mind and opened the car door and headed towards the home.
