I could feel my head turning light, eyes weary, and perhaps, it was the noise filling the area, that brought about the aches in my head.
It was dining hour, and yet another chance for the hubbub to prevail. Audrey and Hannah seemed not to mind the fact that there was a concert happening right in the center of the room.
One might think the students would be better composed, seeing as to how social night almost had a number of people in trouble, specifically those who brought in drugs, but apparently, nothing can stop the hyperactivity of a bunch of teenagers.
"I can't stay here any longer" I called at once, getting to my feet, earning those questioning stares from Hannah and Audrey. Their eyes remained on me the whole time, watching as I grabbed my tray off the table.
"Won't you at least wait for us?" Followed Hannah Grace, pulling a wrap of cabbage to her lips.
"You only began eating" I pointed out.
Now, even though I could hang in there for a minute or two, just so they could clear up their plates, I felt not to.
I was exasperated, dejected and sad.
Sad that for the past ten hours, I hadn't been able to pen down how I've been feeling into the pages of my diary, all because it remained nowhere to be found.
Lord!
I pulled away from the table at once, going over to toss my tray there.
The silence that filled me upon exit from the dining hall was such satisfaction.
The entire hallway remained empty, the night still young, and with not a thing to do, I proceeded to the empty hall which had a number of Bowers' won trophies being displayed in a glass case.
It was a concern that they chose to leave those awards out there, in the easy grip of anyone who had a thing out for the school.
But, who now would go committing a theft of stealing a trophy won at a spelling bee competition?
I believe were better occupied than having to move around thinking of how to pry a glass open.
A glass holding the school's achievement.
Joan Sommers. My eyes skimmed through the name tags, placed below each trophy, going all the way down to the mathematics Award right below.
Just beside it was a trophy bearing that name which managed to catch my eye.
Zachary Cobain.
I caught onto it.
It was a trophy for favorite player in some tournament.
I peered closer, eyes intent on that trophy and had it not been that my form was an inch away, I just might have crashed into the glass, at the call of that voice behind me.
That voice which had me turning around, coming to behold that form stood away.
"For someone so dirty, you sure put up the innocent act well"
I was jolted to the sound of that voice, figure spinning around, only to be met with a pair of hazel eyes peering into my dull brown ones.
"Hello, Anna" His voice was low, a quirky grin sat on his lips, while his hands went wiggling an item in his hold.
Why do I find amusement resting in his gaze, and— Wait a minute!
My eyes were soon snapped back to that item, and only at those bold letters pasted on the front page, spelling my name, did it dawn on me.
"You're fascinating, Anna" I reached to snatch it off his hands, but he pulled back at once, tutting at me.
"I'll keep it for the time being"
"It's not yours to keep!" I called at once.
"He who holds it, owns it"
"I've never heard that anywhere" I furrowed my brows at him.
"I'm not surprised to hear that from a girl who hasn't watched porn"
Drive a stake through my heart, he read my bucket list.
"Also, I've been called a number of things, but dreamy, that's new"
At this point, I should be swept away, because however am I to meet that gaze of his? That gaze which beckoned onto me every now and then.
That gaze which did so well mocking me at this minute.
"Hold on, You've never watched porn?" His eyes were filled with amusement, that annoying grin tugging at his lips.
"No" I turned away from him, not daring to meet that scrutiny of his, but believe me, he had come over, figure meeting mine, so our eyes would square.
"I haven't met anyone who hasn't watched porn, Anna" His voice was low, form so close to mine, I could feel his breaths hitting my skin.
"Well let's do it right now" He called at once, voice filled with enough cheer to have one alarmed.
"Do what?" The confusion could be detected in my tone.
"Watch porn, of course" He followed, soon taking my hands.
"No!" I snatched my hands off his, pulling away from him. "You don't expect me to watch porn with you" I called.
"What's wrong? Afraid you may not be able to resist the pull?"
"What pull?" I chuckled, fingers fiddling with each other, telling me that the tensity had just cracked in.
"Me?" His voice was low, figure drawing closer to mine, with eyes never taking a leave of my profile.
"Do I make you shudder, Darcy" Those words had me retreating at his incoming figure, eyes doing so well to falter at his piercing gaze.
"You don't make me shudder" My voice betrayed me, wavering, earning that chuckle from him.
"I'm not scared of You, Zachary" I called even better this time.
"Then watch it with me" He followed.
"I can't do that"
"Perhaps you're scared of me"
"I'm not scared of you"
"Then watch it with me... For fucks sake, it's just a number of people acting out a scene. Most of those orgasming takes are faked, you know. Nothing serious" He called out, like that would make me feel any better.
"Just a maximum five minutes"
"Why are you giving me the duration? I'm not watching it with you" I followed.
"Then forget about having your diary"
"You can't do that to me"
"I will if you pass on this"
"I'll have you reported to the headmaster" I believed my words would snap the fear back to him, but I tell you, those eyes remained peering blankly at me, face dull.
"Good luck with that" He called at once, soon turning to leave, but at the pull of my figure right in front of his, he halted in his tracks, eyes looking down at me.
"I'll do it" I followed in a low voice, gaze soon beholding those hazel eyes rushing with levity.
"But I don't even have a phone"
"We'll watch it on mine" He followed, pulling my hands at once, leading me away.
"You have a phone? How did you sneak it in?!" My voice trailed after him.
"I have a lot of things, Anna. I'll introduce you to every one step after step"
"And please, Call me Zac" Those were his words, before he pulled me out the area.
