You're My Forever

Fluttering Heart | 25

The Next Day... 

I groaned as I heard my alarm going off in the morning. I quickly shut it and sat up in bed, very tired. I got up and lazily walked over to my closet to get dressed. I put on a white cropped t-shirt with some grey sweatpants. I put my hair half up, half down, brushed my teeth, then went to school. 

Once I got there, I went up to my first period class. I knew Jack was here, but I just didn't see him because we didn't sit together in this class.

Lunch... 

I went to my locker like usual after class was ended. "Hey!" I heard as someone walked up to me. I recognized he voice to be Jack's but I didn't look since I was swapping out my binders. "Hey." I smiled, shutting my locker now. "How about we go to the park today?" He asked me happily. I turned to him.

I looked up into his eyes again. FUCK. I completely forgot about what happened with Jack last night up until now when it started happening AGAIN. My eyes widened the slightest bit as my eyes locked onto his. I was getting that same feeling for him in me again too.. 

If this feeling was actually what I think it was.. I must've been going out of my mind if I was actually developing feelings for Jackson Meyer... 

It would be so hard to explain what I was feeling when I looked at him.. It's like, every single inch of my body would start tingling when I my eyes locked with his and I would feel butterflies in my stomach. All the while this romantic attraction for him started growing in my heart, just from looking into his eyes.

I saw his eyebrows furrow through this trance I was having when the seven second mark passed of me just staring at him. But I was too deep in the trance to really notice it enough to snap out of whatever was happening to me.  

"Roni?" He said with a small, confused chuckle as his hand went on my shoulder. When his hand met my shoulder, I felt that entire arm get goosebumps, all just because of his touch. 

But luckily, as that happened, I also snapped out of my trance. But even though I snapped out of it, since I was still looking at him, the fluttery, romantic feeling in my heart was still there which was making my heart pound as I looked at him. 

"S-Sorry, what?" I asked him awkwardly, my heart still pounding. "Are you ok, what just happened?" He looked very confused. "Nothing!" I said quickly. "I-I just.. remembered I h-have a test tomorrow.." I mumbled. "Are you sure that's it..?" He asked, clearly not really buying my lie. "Of course." I said, trying to cover my awkwardness with a smile. "Ok then..." He said with a small chuckle.

"Anyway though.. As I was saying, do you wanna go to the park today?" He asked with a smile. My eyes widened a little. "Y-You mean.. J-Just us..?" I asked him nervously. "Yeah, why not?"  He laughed.  I felt like it would be a very bad idea for me to hang out with him alone in a secluded place for like an hour while I still had these weird feelings for him in me.. But it would be too weird for me to decline his offer so I had to say yes.

"Uh.. A-Alright." I said with an awkward smile. "Great." He smiled as he grabbed my hand and began walking. The second he grabbed my hand, my heart skipped a beat. 

So we walked out of the school and to the nearby park and the entire time, the romantic feeling never left my heart. It was really annoying and I just wished it would go away, not only because Jack was my best friend, but also because it was all I could think about when I was feeling it. 

So we got to the park after about a five minute walk and went to the swings. We both sat on our own swings that were beside each other and swung lightly. 

"Did Alena ever get in trouble for the whole incident?" Jack asked me, looking at me as we continued to swing. I looked at him as well and again, my heart skipped a beat but at least this time I didn't fall into that trance again.
