I sat on the bleachers by the sports field just staring into space. I wonder when my next mission will be? I was so distracted I didn't realize the person who had just sat next to me. I wonder how far Alex is with finding out who I am?
" What's your name?" a deep voice spoke up next to me. I turned and looked at him in those stormy eyes. Daniel.
" Why do you want to know?" I was determined not to tell anyone soon. He looked at me with a blank expression.
" Well why not?" he said with a shrug, " You're going to be here for a while so..."
I shook my head. Really why were these people suddenly so interested in me? " I don't want people to make fun of my name when they find out. Because I don't know many people's name so why bother?" I said. Telling people my name is just going to help them talk about me.
" Well, you can tell me. I won't tell anyone." He said touching his chest. " You can trust me."
" Well that's the thing. I don't know you." I said pointing the fact out.
" I'm Daniel James." He said stretching out his hand. " It's nice to make your acquaintance."
I looked down at the hand like he was crazy. Really? "Call me Cookie Crumbs." I said simply. He seemed to melt a little. He laughed at my determination. He then looked me deep in the eyes with an unreadable expression. What's wrong with him?
"Whatever." he said simply. " Are you from France?" he said finally realizing my fake French accent.
"No. Are you from Britain?" I asked also noticing the heavy British accent. He told me was from Russia and I told I also came from there. He silently looking dazed. Is he okay? " Are you okay?" I asked getting worried. Not.
"Yeah I'm fine," he said shaking his head.
The bell rang and I stood p draping my bag over my shoulders. " Well see yah."
"Wait! What's your next lesson?" he said standing up with me.
"French, " I said not very interested and worrying about being late.
"Me too" he said walking with me to my locker, " I'll walk you." He really did. I got confused when he followed me to my locker. He opened the one next me and took out his books and I looked at him shocked.
When we walked into class I got glares from all corners of the class from girls and a few guys were glaring at Daniel. What?
This was going to be a long day.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey!" I heard someone yell after me. I turned around and stopped when I saw Coleman walking – running- after me. I stopped where I was and so did Daniel who was following me. Creep. When he arrived, he bent down holding his knees while he pointed one finger up. " What are you doing right now?" he asked after a while.
"Well Daniel and I are going to watch a movie," it was true. He asked me after I came out of the bathroom and I found him waiting outside which was awkward for me.
"Like a date?" Coleman asked after looking at us. I said no at the same time Daniel said yes. We looked at each other for a moment. " Great!" Coleman exclaimed, " Can I come?"
This time I said yes while Daniel said no. We looked at each other again and he had an angry face while I looked exasperated. " Sure," I said without looking away from Daniel.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Okay so maybe I didn't think this through. We were sitting in the ice cream parlor after the horror movie which I laughed at throughout while the guys kept covering their eyes. Someone called and I looked at the ID. I sighed. Douglas. Coleman glanced at my phone and the read out Lover Boy.
" Is he the boyfriend you were talking about?" he asked looking bit upset. Daniel looked jealous and then his ice cream fell on the floor and I burst out laughing while he looked even more disappointed.
"I don't have a boyfriend. And if I did it sure as hell wouldn't be him." I started laughing darkly. " I need to take this call."
I stood up and walked up to the back and answered, " Hello?"
"Where are you?" he growled.
"I'm at the ice cream parlor," I answered hearing bad boy playing in the background.
"I'm coming," he said and cut the phone. I hope he wasn't serious. Most of my school was here and he was... intimidating. I walked back to the guys seeing them clutching their cones so hard ice cream was oozing out while they were having a death glare. I quickly grabbed some napkins and grabbed their ice creams and throwing them into the bin wiping a tear from my eye when I looked at them in there. Why the ice cream?
I turned back to the guys and grabbed both their hands and wiped of the ice cream from them. I felt their hands relax and when I sat down again I crossed my arms.
" What's up with you two?" I asked feeling left out. This was too much. It took a very long time before I realized no one was going to answer me. "Coleman?" Daniel laughed and Coleman had a look of disgust on his face.
"You sound just like Mr. Dalphina." That was our Math teacher, " My name's James Coleman."
" Fine James Coleman," I said sarcastically, "Answer."
He sighed. " Let's just say that we both want something that only one of us get."
"What if someone else get's whatever it is you're talking about. Then what will you do. Be sad the rest of your life?" I said trying to make a point. I knew practically everyone was looking at us. Then Symphony began.
"Yes," they answered simultaneously. They must want it really bad.
"What is it that you both want so badly," I asked curiously. The rest of your life was not a joke. I mean seriously.
"Yo-" Daniel began before we heard the door being slammed open. He's here.
And now your song is on repeat
and I'm dancing on to your heart beat
And when you're gone I feel incomplete
So f you want the truth
I just wanna be part of your symphony!
The song was playing in the background as Douglas walked in with his hands in his pockets . Moving practically in slow motion towards me. His black hair brushing his forehead lightly partly covering his stunning green eyes. His black leather jacket was clinging onto his muscles with his white shirt showing. With his black jeans and black Nikes he looked so amazing. He is your colleague chill. Bad Emma.
" Hailey, let's go now," he said his deep voice brought shivers through my body. Oh God.
"Oh come on you can't do this to me." I said tiredly. He grabbed my hand and yanked me from my chair and his arms circled my waist and pulled me close to him.
Symphony!
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go.
He leaned in and whispered in my ear, " Pretend we're dating okay?" I nodded slowly. " I have a mission for you if you're up for it. We could do something else if you want." His voice deep and persuading as he breathed on my neck as I blushed deeply. Don't blame me I practically live in the gutter. He grabbed my bag from my chair and he looked at the guys.
"Um..." I waved my hand as I was dragged away. James looked hurt, but Daniel was glaring at Douglas with clenched fists. What was happening?
When we got in the car I exploded. "What ( jump ) was that?" He put his head on the wheel and repeatedly banged it, " Fine I'm sorry for yelling, but what was that."
"Well," he said running his hand through his hair. "I guess I got jealous when I saw them through the window." Wait... Jealous? " But never mind. I have a mission for you." I nodded, " Alex Grey's in town and I need you to keep an eye on him. DON'T kill him okay?" I sighed but nodded. " He's going to your school tomorrow as in enrolling. So you have to report back what you learn." He said, " Oh and if he even touches you I'mma cut his hand off. Don't want you to lose your cool to that loser."
"So you're my boyfriend?" I asked ignoring everything else. He nodded and shook his head, but I knew what he meant. " Who would even be righteous enough to take my cool anyway?" I asked shifting so I could get a good look of his face.
"Only me," he mumbled, but I heard him. And it just got awkward after that.
