❝Kid, don't do that!❞ It was as if I could almost feel him smile-Hear it in his voice, let the warmth of it deluge my heart.
❝Why not?❞
❝It tickles, Allan.❞ I looked into his eyes as he chuckled. Just then i noticed a strange spark of uncertainty a...

Eyes down. Quick walk.
IT. WAS. THE. WORST. NIGHT. OF. MY. LIFE. (as much as I remember of it)
Firstly, I don't remember half of what happened but considering the fact that I was in my bed and I had my extra pair of glasses on the side table next to me this morning, I lost my glasses. Not a big deal. People keep losing their glasses all the time. I am not sure how I lost mine but I am sure it wasn't a big deal. I hope.
I am in the hallway. And it feels UTTER. SHIT. My eyes are burning like actual fire balls if there is something of that sort existing. I have this gigantic headache like my nerve is going to blow up any second and then I have Cole smiling at me. I mean the best part is that no one is looking at me like i just exposed or said something huge at the party last night. Thankgod cus i have this big mouth and well I haven't really learnt to keep it shut.
Eyes down. Quick walk. That is what I keep telling myself. As if doing this would make people forget about my existence or wipe me off the face of Earth. But happy if it helps even a little bit.
"Good Morning!" Jace popped out of nowhere. No-fucking-where.
"Hey!" I sounded extra excited. WHY?!
"New glasses huh?" He smirked.
"Kinda Yeah." Now I sounded equally dull. What the actual fuck!?
"Where are your old glasses? They kinda look better on you." He smiled. A sorta wicked one.
"I probably forgot them at Cole's place last night." He looked at me with those deep eyes of his. It was almost dumb how his eyes were so mesmerising for some absurd reason. They ran deep and somehow felt more alive than anything else I have seen in a very long while.
"You sure?" He giggled. Why was he giggling? It seemed weird.
He took out his hands which were in his hoodie pocket. He took out my glasses out of his pocket. How did he have my glasses with him? This was fucking up my head even more after the headache and my eyes burning. AND THEN HE WAS SMILING! Why the fuck was Jace smiling?
"Where did you find them?!" I sounded pissed. Yes. Perfect!
"You didn't forget them at Cole's place." He still had the smile.
"Fine. You caught me. I don't remember anything from last night. The last thing I remember is us walking. My memory is a mess." I blurted. It all just came out of my mouth. I hate hangovers. UGH!
"Its okay. Calm down." The bell rang as everyone rushed to classes "See you later?" He asked.
"Yeah okay!" My voice was convenient for some reason. Not so harsh, not so sweet. Just normal.
---❁---
The lessons were fine. The same actually. Just that Jamie—The bully apparently, was absent in class today. Obviously he was sick with all those bottles he gulped down last night.
It was lunch now. I was just in the cafeteria, looking for an empty table. Some tables at the back were empty as usual so I started walking towards those.
"Heyyyy!" He was here again. Jace has to stop popping out of nowhere.
"Hey!" Once again I sounded dull. I am proud of my tone sometimes.
"Come sit with us." He asked, pointing towards Cole and his friends. I feel bad for him. He doesn't know what everyone thinks of me and that's why he is asking me to share a table with him and Cole and some of their other friends.
There was a weird silence. It was just starting to get awkward when he finally spoke "Please?"
Why was he requesting? Does he even remember my name half the time? And what does please mean? If only he knew how much people hate me, would he still be so nice?
But WHY WAS HE BEING NICE AT ALL? He doesn't even know me so well. It's like we are still strangers.
I looked at him—expectant eyes. And anyways this was the first time someone would actually want me to sit with them. I hope this isn't a sick joke. It would be better if it was a joke cus i seriously don't know how to handle someone treating me well.
So I agreed to sit with him and Cole because maybe he would tell me what actually happened last night. And I also needed a distraction from this headache.
❁❁❁
I am super excited to write the next chapters cus there is going to be tons of romance and some drama and I can't wait to introduce Nishi Bahl to y'all.
I will also be including more of Ashley and Jessica.
