"Why?" I asked confused. "Let's just say, you wouldn't like what you see. So… I'll see you around then." Nathan said as he backed away. I stood at the entrance and watched him walk away, he turned and waved at me and i did the same.
It's hard for me watching him leave like that, I just wanna tell him not to go. You idiot, you just met him for the first time get a hold on yourself, is not like it's your first time flirting with a handsome guy before. It was more like having a conversation with him but to me we were flirting, actually this is the first time I've ever had this type of long conversation with any male. I don't know why but they seem to avoid me like am some plaque.
Mom almost went crazy when I went inside the house, it took me a whole hour to pacify her. As I lay down on my bed, I kept seeing Nathan's smile in my head. Am totally wrecked in the head, that I know for sure.
Tomorrow will be my first day at St Martin's High. I hope everything goes well and I hope that this time, we would stay longer in fairy's town. Above all, I hope I'll see him again. Who? Nathan of course. I know, I know even I think am crazy.
The next day I woke up early as always, mom came to help me prepare for school. I took a hot shower and, shit! My hair shampoo, it's…it's FINISHED!!! How did this happen, it must've been the way my stupid hair was consuming it. I didn't know maintaining long hair could be this stressful! Fuck it, cutting it off is always an option to consider.
I opened my wardrobe and oh my it needs changing, but anyway it's just school not that am going to a prom or something.
After putting on a red top and black pants, I seat in front of the mirror in my room. This is where mom comes in to comb my hair, I can do it myself but she always insist on doing it and now am used to it, so you can't blame me for seating in front of a mirror waiting patiently for my mother to come and comb my hair.
As my mom was brushing my her she had a slight frown on her face. "Mom what is it?" I asked worried she shook her head and continued brushing my hair. "It's just that, lately your scent has been getting stronger." She eventually said. I knew it has something to do with my scent, mom has a strong sense of smell. Although I don't smell bad, actually according to her I smell like roses that's why she always call me her little Rose.
After checking in, in the principal's office. I found my self in class as the female teacher who's name I later knew to be Miss Catherine introduced me to the whole class.
"Class we have a new transfer student from Standford college in Newtown city." Miss Catherine announced. "Where is that, I've never heard of a place called Newtown city before, are you from the countryside?" A pretty girl asked mockingly and the whole class started laughing. "Kelly, behave yourself." Miss Catherine queried. Who does that Kelly girl think she is, infact what was I expecting in the first place, I knew that their was no way their wouldn't be some shithead's in this school. Infact I don't think that there is any school that doesn't have a truckload of shithead's.
I was assigned a seat in the middle of two students. Just as I was getting used to my new seat and all, I suddenly felt that connection, the one I felt when I was with... And strangely enough it felt like I could sense him.
Following that feeling I turned to my left which happens to be where I strongly felt it from. And lo and behold, he was there at the other Lane smiling at me, I couldn't help but smile back.
WTF!! He goes to the same school as me? This is crazy. I don't believe in fate, but this can't be a coincidence. It's definitely fate!
Just as we entered our moment… The one he and I always have, those moments when we stare at each other like we're hypnotized. Just as we entered one of those moments, a girl next to him dragged his focus, more like turned his face towards her direction. Looking closely I recognized the girl it's Kelly, apparently she is seating beside Nathan. And just at that moment when I thought nothing else would happen, she kissed him… On the lips!
Holy shit!
Fate is a BITCH!!
The smile on my face quickly dissolved, I quickly turned the other side. Am not hurt because my crush turned out to be taken, no. Am not hurt at all to be plain, am just heavily embarrassed that's all. What was I thinking? Oh it's all your fault Nathan you were too nice to me the other day, that I mistook your helping a damsel in distress for something else.
I tried to focus on the class going on. Through out the class I felt many stares directed at me, mostly boys. The girls were looking at me with disdain well most of them.
After Miss Catherine's class, we had a mathematics class which was boring to say the least, because I suck at maths. Luckily as a new student I wasn't disturbed by questions I couldn't solve or answer otherwise it would have been a disaster.
During lunch break I went to the cafeteria for my lunch and thank goodness there was no line there, it seems like talking to Nathan few minutes ago saved me from lining up to collect some food.
Few minutes ago…
RRRING!!!
"Oh that's the bell, ok our class ends here for today, so try that last problem yourselves."
