Chase Of Love...

Chapter 2 : Under the Apple tree

I see him again during lunch break. He's all alone sitting under an apple tree, reading a book. I think he didn't make any friend. I finally gathered up some courage and went to talk to him. "Hi" I  said. He looked up straight into my eyes and I froze for a moment. He stood up and was about to leave but I stopped him and said "I am Hazeline Miracle. You can call me Hazel" I held my hand out for a friendly handshake but he just ignored me and went away. I felt kind of offended but i don't know why I still wanted to talk to him. But i thought it was better to stay away from him from now on as he just doesn't like me. And even why would he. He's so handsome, he will never like a girl like me.

"He's kinda hot, isn't he?" Lisa said. "Who" I replied. "The new guy, DUH" she replied with an eye roll. Lisa Hayden - my best friend. Lisa has been my friend since 11 years. Lisa is totally opposite of me - beautiful, hot and everyone's desire She has beautiful jet black curly hair and brown eyes. On the other hand i have blue eyes and blonde straight hair. Everyone in the school wanted to date her and be her friend but she always chose me over any one. Suddenly a thought struck my mind "what if Lisa and Ezekiel started dating?" This was weird for me as I wasn't a type of girl who would get worried for this little thing. "Do you like him?" I asked her, still worried. "No, he's not my type. He's reserved and you know i don't like reserved guys". I really felt relieved at that time.

I had to study for a while so I decided to stay in the library "You coming?" Lisa asked. "No, I need to complete this case study, I will see you later".  "OK. I need to attend a party of dimitri , you know he's the hottest guy of our school. Don't you wanna come?'' She asked. "No. First he didn't invite me, second i gotta complete this case study otherwise Ms. Georgia will kill me and no MIRACLE in the whole world will be able to save me" We both giggled. "Ok. See you later, alligator" Lisa said with a wink and left.

After 30 minutes, someone came in the library. It was already a bit late and nobody was supposed to be here at this time. Suddenly fear started to trickle through me. I decided to hide behind a bookshelf. I grabbed a big book in my hands. I heard some footsteps coming closer. I thought it's now or never and attacked. BOOM. I heard a loud thud and somebody fell and to my horror it was Ezekiel. I realised what i did and felt sorry and embarrassed at the same time. I tried to help him and offered him my hand so he can stand up but he refused my help. I saw blood on his forehead and i tried to wipe his blood with my handkerchief but once again he shook my hand off. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. It was an accident. I thought a stranger is here that's why I attacked you" I apologized. "It's ok" he said while wiping the blood off his forehead. Now guilt and anger both were engulfing me. He was acting like a complete jerk. I grabbed his hand and made him sit on the chair nearby. I took my handkerchief and started cleaning his blood. "Listen I know you don't like me and you don't want to talk to me. Ok fine I won't bother you again but you are hurt because of me and please let me help you" I said while I cleaned his blood. I turned around to leave but he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer towards him "What are you doing here at this time? You are turning 18 in 2 weeks and it's dangerous for you to be out here alone" He stood up and pulled me more closer towards him, there was a little distance between our lips. I don't know why I just wanted to grab his hair and kiss him but I didn't. "DON'T.. STAY.. ALONE.." He said. I felt his breath on my face and my heart starting beating fast. He slowly let go of my hand and left. After snapping out, I realised what just happened and asked myself "How in the world does he know about my birthday and my age?" Something suspicious is happening already........
