So much for coming up with a plan... I can't even find time for myself to be alone! And it's all because of Orion's absurd declaration in class!
Even if I were to hide from him, if I'm spotted by a classmate and Orion happened to be nearby, they'd holler him over like it was the most natural thing to do. I turned down most of his advances and managed to squeeze myself out of spending too much time alone with him but it only made him all the more persistent.
I hid behind a tree, sighing as Orion runs past. It was the end of the school day and I didn't want to spend the rest of the day in a game of cat and mouse. I sigh in relief as I was finally able to catch my breath and relax. I then slumped against the tree bark as I breathed in and out slowly to release the tension in my body as I felt it slowly begin to dissipate.
