7- Two Of Us

Felix's POV

I am walking through the hallway towards my chemistry class right now. I woke up a little late today so I couldn't attend the first two classes.

But I knew I had to come to school today. Now that I have decided to focus on my life, I had to.

Chemistry so far has been the most boring class in high school because I have to actually study it. No one from our group has taken it so I have to pay attention.

I open the door making quite the noise. Everyone's heads turn towards me. The teacher tries to tell me that I'm late but I'm already trying to find a seat for me and I see her sitting there.

Her hair tied up in a pony and her beautiful wide eyes when I start walking towards her.

Guess I do have something else to pay attention to in chemistry.

She stiffens a little when I sit down beside her. I do realise that I'm making her uncomfortable with all my staring but truth be told - I am enjoying it that she's getting so nervous around me. Am I that intimidating?

***

Fifty five minutes of trying and she doesn't give up! I've been trying to get her to look at me all the chem lecture and she hasn't looked at me once. My ego is starting to get a little hurt. I have to get her to look at me. 

So I do what a stalker would do. I follow her to her locker. I stand there until she's done. "What the hell" she curses in surprise when she looks at me standing here. God. I definitely feel like a stalker now. 

She looks at me for a few seconds, gulps down her nervousness and starts walking away from me. No, no, no.

I run and reach up to her. I know she notices me. Come on Felicity, why won't you look at me. Just look at me.

I can see her face getting a little irritated and she stops abruptly. She moves her hands to her hips. Her hair unknowingly flickers against her shoulders and she turns and looks at me. Finally. But she still isn't looking at me like she did yestersday.

"Okay what are you doing?" she asks her hands still on her hips.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" I ask her looking straight at her to get her to look at me properly. She is looking at me but it's not like yesterday. 

"Following me" she says in a huff. Oh, so she did notice.

I look at her intensely and when I realise that she still isn't looking at me, I do most stupid thing I've ever done. I start walking towards her. She steps back. I take a step forward. She looks extremely nervous. Score.

Her back slams into the locker and I instantly trap  her in her position with my hands.

"Tell me precious, where were you going?" I ask her trying my best to indimidate her.

"The cafeteria" she whispers slowly. Her voice sounds so soft right now. 

Seriously Felix? Soft voice? 

"And where were you going to sit?" I ask her.

"With my brother and Summer" she says softly looking down at her hands. I am loving this. 

Come on, not just your brother and your friend. I raise my brow at her and she looks up at me. Gulps nervously and says "And your friends maybe"

Now that is what I wanted to hear.

"Okay. So where do you think I am going to sit?" I ask her.

"With your friends?" she kinda asks me. Stupid has never felt so good. I look down at her lips but she doesn't notice it.

I take a step closer to her. I bring my lips to her ears and whisper "then what makes you think I'm following you? I'm just going the same place as you"

I step back. I look at her again. God, I miss that position. And I take off for the cafeteria.

I totally lied though. I was following her.  I don't even know why.

***

I'm sitting here beside Jenny in the cafeteria. I see Felicity enter the cafeteria and look for all of us. Did it take her five minutes to regain herself from our moment? Maybe she just didn't wanna be seen entering the two of us together.

She walks towards us, smiles at her brother and sits down beside him. Still avoiding eye contact with me. We're back to that? 

Oh, come on Felix. What'd you expect? That you don't even talk to her properly and you're the only one that she sees?

"Hey City" Claire says. 

"Hey" she smiles.

"So. Now that everyone is here. There's a start of the year party at my house this saturday. But I'm not the one organising it. It's my sister. Everyone is coming" Isaac tells everyone.

Everyone nods.

"Okay so Fran where do you guys live?" Jenny asks Francis. Why?

"Fort street. Why?" Fran answers.

"Ah. Beautiful. You guys are the closest to Isaac's house so we girls will meet at your house City and get read- " Jenny says but she hasn't even completed her sentence when Felicity and Francis both scream out loud at the same time "Not our house"

Everyone is taken aback and they both give each other a look. Felicity looks a bit scared but she covers it up very quickly. And then Fran answers "What we mean is that um, our sister has a playdate with her friends this saturday it'll be difficult for you guys to get ready"

Is anyone buying this story? 

"Okay. That's alright. We'll just do it at my house" Claire says clearly sensing Felicity's discomfort.

"Anyways. What are you guys wearing?" Summer asks and all the girls start talking except for Felicity. Isaac and Francis start talking about something as well. But my eyes are fixed on the girl sitting uncomfortably looking down at her food. 

What's her story?
