Well that was weird. Why the hell was he staring at me? Shaking off that thought, I decided to continue doodling. Out of no where, a paper ball hit me at the back of my head causing me to glare at the direction at which it was thrown. As I was glaring, I saw Mel making wild gestures with her hands towards the paper ball. It was obvious that she was the one that threw it. Opening it, I noticed she had written something on it . "Why is Tyler staring at you?" Looking back at her, I muttered "I have no idea".
Saved by the bell, I hurriedly packed my stuff and dashed at of the classroom. I knew I was going to be interrogated by Mel and Rose and to be honest, I wasn't ready to be questioned over something I couldn't understand myself. Picking up my pace, I bumped into somebody. Ready to apologize, I looked up only to find myself staring into the angry eyes of my lovely friends. "Going somewhere?!"they both shouted angrily. Let me tell you something, you can never run away from my friends. Even if you move to a different country, change names and possibly change your appearance, they'll eventually find you. As long as your on this planet, you can't hide. "Of course not. Where would I be going to?" I replied with the biggest smile on my face trying to appease them. Luckily enough, they managed to overlook it. " Why was Tyler staring at you" " do you know everyone knows?" they both asked excitedly. "First, I don't know and second I didn't know" I responded know getting slightly irritated. "I'll see you guys later, I have chemistry now". Like on a more serious note though, why was he staring at me? We have never had a conversation before, never crossed paths, nada nada. So why?
It was bound to spread. Tyler was a mystery to everyone in the school. He only spoke to those in his clique and it was rumored that it was only on important mattters. He always appeared closed off and cold. Never seen him smile or heard him laugh. He was a very fine specimen but was never seen with a girl. He was from a very rich family but he still studied very hard in school and was known as the smartest kid in school. Everyone wanted to be close to him but couldn't find it in them to approach him. So of course, everyone was bound to talk about it.
I love Chemistry to the moon and back. I wasn't very sure of what I wanted to be in life but I was certain it was going to center on chemistry. Sitting down on my seat, I waited for the teacher, Mr Raymond, to start lectures. He first shared out sheets to everyone in class then informed us that we had a project and we were to work on it in pair. Unfortunately for me, none of my friends were in this class and I really didn't associate with others. So, I watched as everyone was busy pairing up. Suddenly, a hand tapped my shoulder and upon turning, it was Tyler. "Would you be my partner?" Oh my Gosh, this was the first time I heard him speak and we've been in the same school since pre school. ."sure" I didn't see the point in refusing because I was the only one left without a partner. "Where should we work on it after school, my place or yours?" his voice a mere whisper. "Mine" I quickly replied writing my address on a piece of paper and passing it to him. He then nodded at me and continued listening to the teacher who had long carried on with the class.
Mel and Rose had volleyball practice so I couldn't hitch a ride with them. Mel was from a rich family and had a driver bring her to school and back and he was quite generous to drop off Rose and I on a daily basis. That was the reason why I was currently walking home. Out of nowhere, a black audi r8, yes I know my cars, stopped right in front of me. Confusion, irritation and anger ran through my veins. I was ready to give the driver a piece of my mind. Guess who it was? Tyler! What the hell was going on today? " when do you want to start and what time?" It took me like 5 good seconds to understand what he was talking about "umm.. tomorrow and around 5" With that he zoomed off.
What a rude boy! He didn't even offer me a ride!
