It was in the afternoon and I was supposed to see Miss Oregano. I hurried down the hallway to her office only to come face to face with Chevy, he was also going to see Miss Oregano.
"You first." He said and without bothering to look at him, I went in and he followed afterwards.
"It's good see both of you here. The reason why I asked you to come here is about your grades. Chevy, I'd like you to pair with Gigi here in the chemistry peer group. You're her only hope I guess, because I've literally done everything for her to improve her grades but it seems like she'd be better off by getting a partner." She informed us and I was quick to dismiss her pairing.
"I'm supposed to choose my partner Miss, and not the other way round."
"Adams! You don't get to choose besides it's for your own good. The final exams are around the corner, let's see what you'll do about that mmmh?"
I looked at Chevy and he too was staring at me, he was so calm about it and since he wasn't complaining at all, I didn't stand a chance to defend myself. It was final, he won.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to go back to my work. The two of you, get back to class." She started scribbling something on a paper as soon as she was done talking. I walked out first and he followed me afterwards.
"Are you following me?" I turned around to see him on my track.
"That's the way to class unless you want me to fly." His ocean blue eyes squinted.
"Whatever man!" I mumbled. I don't know why I was getting paranoid for no reason.
"I'm sorry about the other day, Harper has always been like that and I'm glad that we're over.'' He started a conversation with me.
"I hope I'm not the reason why the two of you broke up." I acted sympathetic. I had wondered what Chevy saw in that b*itch.
"No, you're not. It was bound to happen anyways. The two of us were just having fun, it was all about s*x and nothing more."
"Well, whatever you had with her is none of my business." I scorned and walked a little bit faster. I didn't want to be seen with him, he was trouble.I didn't want other students to have a wrong idea about the two of us. I wasn't ready to be added to the side chicks group that discussed student's romantic and love triangles.
On the further end, I saw Harper opening her locker and I pretended to walk into the storeroom. I didn't want to be skinned alive by that brat. Suddenly the door squeaked and Chevy came in with a smile on his face.
"What's so funny?"
"I never knew you were this conny. Why is everyone afraid of her anyway? Isn't she a student like you? C'mon, she won't do anything to you." I saw him move closer and I moved away almost tripping over a chair.
"You should leave, now!" I freaked out. My mind was filled with too much negativity and he wasn't helping at all. He drew more closer and I had reached the edge. I could feel his breath, his strong musky cologne made me sneeze all of a sudden.
"Bless you." He muttered all happy.
"What do you think you're trying to do?"
"What did you think I'm doing? Do you think I'm going to do something crazy to you? Chillax! I'm not that kind of guy." He was so close that I dreaded he'd hear my heart pounding so loud. I don't know why I was freaking out. I was losing my balance and my senses. I wished I could just walk away but I was rooted to the ground, numb and unwilling to move.
"Breathe, breathe Gigi." He urged me and I found myself inhaling and exhaling while closing my eyes.
After a while, I opened my eyes and realized that I could trust him, I was more calm than ever.
"I'll come to your place tonight, how about that?" He asked.
"I.....
"Don't worry, your parents will understand. It's going to be chemistry and nothing else unless you..."
"Fine!" I said quickly before he'd think of teasing me again. I was already fighting to stay sane.
