To Be Different

• 11 •

After heading to the girls room to wash up, Jacie and I took our leave to go to our next class which was calculus. My eyes ached for no absolute reason and I was straining to see. I don't know what may be the problem since I'm already wearing a pair of spectacles, I brought my hand to face to remove the glasses when I figured that it wasn't there!! Fudging fudge!!!! .

Oh God, oh God, oh God!!!! My glasses! I have no idea of where it could be. I can't even remember putting it off. I must have done that out of Instinct when I wanted to wash my face!

I really pray it's where I think it is, I can't afford to loose one even though I can afford to. Jacie noticed my panic state, she wanted to ask me something but before she could, I already turned back to start jogging back to the washroom and I shouted over to her

"I'll meet you in class Jacie! I forgot my specs."

As I passed through different lockers, I felt the air in my lungs getting smaller and smaller. So I stopped to catch my breath. I adjusted the strap of my bag ,dragged a hand through my face and took slow breaths, I figured out I could start making my way to the girls locker room again.

I checked the time on my watch and saw that it was seven minutes since class started and so I quickened my space. As I was about to open the door to the locker room, I felt a hand jerk me back and pulled me away from the door to the closest dark corner. My heart started beating faster, thinking it might be a kidnapper who just abducted me.

"Oh my God! What is wrong with you! Why did yo-". The person who dragged me away loosened their grip on my wrist and my waist and I turned to face him or her or whosoever!! But before I could continue raining questions on him . Yeah it was a him, since it was....

Jayden?

I shut my mouth up and just stared blankly at his beautiful face, not knowing what to say. He released a slight cough and just then did I realise I was staring at him.

"Jayden? What are you doing here?" I asked dumbly

"Last time I checked, I attended this school" he replied cockily with a smirk and I just wanted to slap it off his face.

"Why did you bring me here? don't you realize I have a class right now? I don't have time for your nonsense, I need to get something from the locker room and you are fudging wasting my time!!!!" I took in a breath. "Or wait, are you following me?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

He sighed before running his fingers through his curly darkish brown hair. He brought his backpack to the front and unzipped it then brought out something red. Oh no he didn't. My good lord! Is that my....????

"Here, I thought I'd wash these and bring it back to you considering you looked like you could cry ten buckets because of this bandana when you were stripping it off"

"But I told you I needed privacy" I pouted and he chuckled.

"Yeah about that...." he trailed off, scratching his neck awkwardly. I'll deal with him concerning that later but for now I need to focus on this boy holding my bandanna in front of me right now.

"I can't believe, I thought I lost it! I mean I was going to get another one, bu-but, I mean like, oh my God, I don't even know what I'm saying. I'm so happy you brought it back!!" I said and without thinking I threw my arms over the back of his neck and brought him down to my level of height to hug him and he lightly wrapped his hands around my tiny waist, which sent shivers down my spine.

Realising what I just done, I jerked away almost immediately "I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking. Thank you for bringing me back my bandana and top. I really thought I had lost it," I looked over to him but he was already staring at me. I fiddled with the hem of my regal blue dress and just then did I remember that I also had something to return to him.
