If only she knew

"not my type"

School was hard enough, what with homework, reading and teachers. But it became especially hard with a pair of eyes glued to the back of my head every class.

It was like something was so fascinating about the back of my head that she just couldn't stop staring at. I couldn't bring my self to turn and face her, but I know if I did, I would've met with bright green eyes.

I tried to ignore it and focus on the music in my ears or whatever the teacher was explaining to the bored class, but i couldn't, why on earth would she be staring at me and why do I so badly want to look back at her.

It went on like this for a week.

I slouched against a wall, reading my book on Friday at lunch, like I usually do, loud aggressive music sounded in my ears through my earphones as I turned the pages.

Rilee was stood leaning on the water tanks, chatting and laughing with two boys, the names carter and James. My stomach filled with a strange, uneasy feeling I didn't recognise. But I chose to ignore it and her, distracting myself with my book. She tended to hang out with the guys, not sure why she just seemed to have the same interests as them.

I ripped the earphones from my ears and turned to see Rilee sitting next to me in complete silence. I ran my gaze over her crossed legs, with her short skirt falling onto her thighs and her hands hidden in her lap.

"Where are all your boyfriends?" I asked turning back to my book.

A small laugh escaped from her lips. My face heated as my skin blushed bright red. 'Had I said something wrong?'.

"Yeah, them?" she asked pointing in the direction of the two boys from earlier, "not my type."

She scooted closer to me, goosebumps formed on her skin as she shivered at the cold.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come to mine tonight," Rilee asked, taking a deep breath, "A few of my friends are having a small get together and I want you to be there."

I sat in silence, not knowing what to say. The thought of a party made me sick, jumping and dancing around sweaty bodies that belonged to complete strangers, the strong smell of alcohol and the loud stupid music they play. The siren blasted and before I could say anything Rilee was gone.
