Fix Your Heart

The rest of the day I kept thinking about him.
He didn't disappear from my mind once.

His grey, almost white eyes had a dark ring on either iris which put a huge contrast to the light grey colour.

They intensely had stared into mine as he spoke. His huge body had terrified me a little. I don't know why but tall people kinda scare me.

They are just so much stronger than I am...

Also his words were really weird. They didn't make sense at all. How would he even know that I'm new around here?!

Seriously! This is creepy.

I sighed while shaking my head. Whatever.

Clare is not going to be home until ten o'clock so I made food for both of us. She could take it from the pot later.

Then I brushed my teeth, showered and went to bed. It was too quiet in the house. Now I wished for someone who could just ramble on for hours.

But I didn't know anyone.

Truth is, I never really socialised in my old school. My two friends where with me since kindergarten, I didn't have to find new ones. And I liked to be alone most of the time anyways.

But now everything had changed. It would never be the same anymore. They stopped contacting me, do not answer and just...they are all gone. I've lost all people I love.

As the tears started to roll down my cheeks I could just lay there and stare at the ceiling.

Sometime later I must have fallen asleep.

My eyes were really puffy in the morning. Due to the tears they dried out and were itchy now.

Annoyed I put some cream onto them but it didn't get better.

"Suck it up." Frustrated and moody I came downstairs, got an apple and then left the house to go to school.

It rained slightly which didn't help raise my mood in any way. Couldn't it snow instead?

The cold raindrops got onto my face and cooled it down. I started shivering soon. Was it really a good idea to walk to school?

Should have taken a freaking umbrella with me...

Just as that thought popped up one was above my head.

"I have the feeling you are not really aware of your surroundings."

The deep voice holding the umbrella said. In shock I turned around and he bumped into me. Of course I fell onto my butt again.

A slight twitch on the left corner of his lip was the only reaction.

"Think about getting a towel to protect your butt or something." He held out his hand and I took it puzzled.

Was he a stalker?

"I guess I was the one supposed to picking you up yesterday. I'm sorry you had to wait for nothing." That eased my mind slightly. So we were in the same class.

"Do you talk?" Wide eyed I looked up at him, then shrugged my shoulders.

He gave me a second look, accepted that I was probably not going to answer him and walked to school with me in silence. As we got there everyone stared at us.

"Just ignore them." He told me and yawned. "They are gossipers."

I lifted my eyebrows in surprise. I don't know what it was about him, but his behaviour seemed very random.

"Okay." What else could I answer than that? I didn't have an opinion on the people around me yet.

"So she can talk." He smirked and put away his umbrella as we headed inside the school building.

I chose to ignore his comment.

"Thank you for saving me from the rain." He nodded and yawned again. With one hand he went through his hair.

"Whatever."
