I looked in the mirror so that I could see the person that was about to enter the bathroom, but as the door opened wide I heard footsteps behind me but I couldn't see anybody through the mirror.
"Who's there?"
I got no reply but the footstep got closer and I didn't want to turn just yet.
"Who's there?" I stared deeper into the mirror."Is that you Develee?"
I still didn't get any reply and whatever that was,I could feel it's presence very close to me now, I was going to count to three and make the run for it now, one,two,three I quickly turned to make the run for it now,but there was actually no reason to run now.
"Hey are you leaving so soon?" Develee asked.
I was relieved that it was just Develee, but then I looked at the mirror again and I couldn't see him but when I looked at him directly he was there.
"Yes I can't be seen on a mirror" Develee said, already aware of the question I was about to ask.
"Ok, that explains a lot" I said, moving backwards."I have to return to class now"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes" I nodded.
"I could feel your heartbeat even before I entered the room, like something was freaking you out"
He could feel my heartbeat from outside the bathroom,was that even possible, but given for the fact that he was a beast there was still some possibilities.
"You were feeling my heartbeat?"
"Yes"
"How?"
"That's how I know when you are in danger"
"As you can see Develee, I'm not in any kind of danger"
"But why did your heartbeat increase when I entered the room?"
"Because you scared me!"
"Ok,why was it beating like that in the first place?"
"Do you want to know?" I asked, staring directly into his eyes.
"Yes" he replied.
The only thing that seemed to frighten me a little me a little bit about Develee was that the expression on his face never changed,he had this serious mean look on his face that never changes, even in situations that you would expect him to laugh or smile, but his face would still remain the same.I told him about the terrible dream I had this morning explaining to him how Chloe turned into a beast with curvy horns,then I told him about how Chloe's face kept changing in class.He started looking up like he was trying to remember something.
"Do you know anything about it?" I asked, trying to call back his attention.
"Just go back to class it's nothing serious" he was still looking up.
"Ok" I slowly shut the door and was about to head to class when I remembered that, Develee didn't really tell me anything important, with what I told him.
"You didn't tell me how sure you were about that" I opened the door."That's great he's gone"
With Develee gone now I just had to go back to class.
As I opened the door I realized that everyone was looking at the door even before they saw who opened the door, I didn't know why they were all staring at me, but I didn't really care much either.
"Mr Mike!" miss Nicole, yelled as I walked past her to go take my seat.
"Yes ma" I quickly turned to face her.
"Seems you have forgotten your manners this morning"
"No ma"
"If that was so you wouldn't just badge out of my class"
I recalled how I left the class earlier,and yes that was really rude, but I was too freaked out to think clearly so I had to leave the class as soon as possible without any delays from miss Nicole.
"Sorry ma, but I really had to go" I lied.
"And that's why you have to act rudely"
"I'm sorry ma"
"And what took your so long over there?"
"I think that's private business ma" I really felt awkward saying that, but the whole class suddenly burst into laughter.
"Get to your seat Mike" miss Nicole ordered,I think she realized that she shouldn't have asked that question.
As I walked to my seat I looked directly at Chloe and was a relieved there that her face didn't turn into anything scary or something.
"What is wrong with you?" Chloe asked, shaking her head after I sat down.
"Don't I look okay?"
"How long did it take you to get my pencil?"
Now I understood what she was talking about.
"And then you come back and tell miss Nicole that you went to the bathroom"
I didn't know what to say,I guess I didn't even think this things through before doing them.
"Whatever's wrong with you,I just wish you could explain to me,after all I always give you listening ears" She said and turned away from me.
I felt terrible but,I was going to let sleeping dogs lie for now,at least so that I wouldn't disturb miss Nicole's class.
*******************************************************************
Aurora was discussing with one of her classmates when their teacher entered with someone they didn't seem to recognize.
"Good morning Mr Kel" they all chorused in unison.
"Good morning all of you" he inspected the class with his eyes to see if anyone was missing."Everyone say hello to your new classmate Eric"
Eric was the new boy in Aurora's class and he was really cute,at least that's what Aurora thought of him when Mr Kel was introducing him.
"He's going to be sitting beside you Aurora"
"But there's some...." before Aurora could complete her statement, the boy sitting beside her had already been moved and Eric's desk had been placed beside her.
"I'm not even going to bother asking why?"
"Hello there pretty" Eric started flirting with Aurora immediately after he took his seat beside her.
For someone who was in his first day at school he didn't look intimidated at all.
"Yes I noticed" Aurora turned back to continue his conversation with her friend.
"What's his problem?" Emily asked.
"I don't know, what were we saying again?"
"Can I talk to you?" Eric pulled Aurora by her sleeves.
"What now?" Aurora grumbled.
"Nothing I just want to talk"
"And you think now's the right time?"
"Sorry I didn't know you were busy" he brushed away feeling embarrassed.
"What were you saying Emily?" Aurora turned back to Emily.
"I think he likes you" Emily whispered to Aurora.
Aurora turned to look at Eric who was taking out the books in his bag.
"Who cares?" Aurora winced.
"Aurora"
"What?"
"He's really cute you know"
Emily was right Eric was a very handsome boy with a very dark curly hair and nice pink lips and he also had a nice height for a boy of his age.
"I can see that" Aurora replied, not feeling touched at all.
"Alright get ready for class everyone" Mr Kel said, to stop the murmurs in the class.
*******************************************************************
"How was your day Aurora?" I asked as we walked home.
Aurora just wanted to ignore him at first but after some some time she decided to answer him.
"Could you believe that this new boy in our class was already disturbing me on his first day"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Aurora"
"You think"
" Yeah, especially if he's just trying to ask for your help,or maybe he just likes you"
"Yeah I thought so" Aurora winced and increased her pace." "Why did I even try telling him that" she grumbled.
"Wait up Rora, I didn't say anything bad" I hurried to catch up with her.
