Art of stealth

I have been inspired by NerdyPassionLoves to write this. Funny because I inspired Nerdy to write You belong with me (the story that inspired me).

I cupped water in my small hands and splashed it on my face quickly. My uniform hung on the hanger beside me as I got ready for bed. My hand twitched slightly when I realized I left my bike in the rain. I sighed and went for the umbrella. I went outside and put my bike in the garage. Across the street, I heard a boy calling me, asking who I was. I froze and quickly ran inside.

I put my back to the door and played with my wet, black hair. My feet shuffled across the carpet and my parent called me from upstairs. I went up silently and stood in the doorway. I stopped and looked at my baby sister and brother. They crawled over and lifted them up. "Can you keep them tonight, we have the others to deal with." I nodded and went into my room. I loved playing with all my siblings. They were adorable. I put them down and lay beside them as they clung to me.

I woke up and set them down on my bed, sneaking out the door, and getting ready for school. I brushed my hair and slipped on the uniform. I put on my shoes and went downstairs and began to make breakfast. I put 7 bowls of cocoa puffs on the table and made on for myself. I called everyone down when I finished and left steadily. I went on my bike and set off. That's probably the climax of my life. Someone called from behind me, running up waving. Then I turned to see him turn around to see a big bald guy stood behind him. I took this opportunity to disappear.

I put my bike on the chain and slipped in the door. I walked through the crowd, unnoticed, unseen. Perfectly blending in, without actually blending in. I hide in the small crowd into my homeroom. I opened my sketchbook and smiled. I pulled out my pencil and began to draw the first thing to catch my attention. That just happened to be the seaweed head from earlier today. But still, he was a very nice model. He sat still as he talked, moving occasionally. That was the challenge I needed. Plus he smile was adorable. I finished my drawing of him by the time the teacher came in. I put it away and sighed. How many picture of Akaya-kun do I have? He's always been favorite to draw since I came to this school. Especially since we live near each other and I get to watch him play tennis. I get every detail down to the salamander licking thing he does.

But Akaya-kun never noticed we lived near each other, because I hid. I always hide. Sitting in the back corner whenever possible. Away from everyone. I'm not some Akaya-kun stalker, he's just normally the first thing that catches my eye. When he's not, it's normally another jock. Their forms were spectacular. Nobody notices. and I like it that way. A quiet peaceful is easy to concentrate in. I tend to stay away from crowds whenever possible and keep to myself in between and during classes. It's almost like I don't exist. I get average grades, do my homework to avoid stares, sit in the back, pack my lunch and sit under a peaceful with a nice view.

And that's how I always lived. I enjoy being alone. Being away from others, not being able to be judged. I know everyone at school, but they don't know me. Not being liked, nor hated. Now Akaya-kun noticed I was here, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna hate this.

I sat down under my calm tree at the end of the day. I began to draw everyone lined up. In the same order always. I put my head and the tree when I finished drawing to relax. My arm slid of my lap and reached for my phone. A simple black one, not glamorous or sparkly, but had functions like picture message and a camera, text and call. That's all I need. No internet, I have a laptop for that. I heard a familiar voice in front of me, coming closer. I looked up slightly, just enough to see his face then grabbed my stuff, stuffing it in my bag. I got up and looked over to see if Akaya-kun got distracted by something. Surely enough, Jackal saved the day with his rapid tracking of the seaweed head. I ran quickly to my bike and left. Disappearing was my specialty.

I put my bike on the rack and heard Akaya-kun still running to catch up. I blushed when I noticed someone's hand on my arm. I saw Akaya-kun beside me smiling, "I'm Akaya Kirihara," he told me, "Are you new?"

I shook my head and spoke quietly, " I know," I looked at my arm.

"Sorry, it's just that I've never seen you around," He smirked like he always did.

"I know," I said again quickly.

"Your always disappearing, quickly, and I never get the chance to talk to you."

"I know," surely he noticed that that's all he's getting. The boy just kept talking, smiling, and laughing when I'd say 'I know'. Like he was seeing how far he could push me. Had he not noticed that there's no edge to drive me off? Jocks, not the brightest, but pretty to look at. Or did he just want to talk to me? Have a friendly conversation. He was always nice to a lot of people, cocky ,of course, but friendly. He treated me like a friend he's known forever, though he had already admitted his ignorance. This boy was certainly confusing, I'll give him that. He just kept talking and I kept answering the same thing until I got to the door.

"Well I guess we're at you door," He smiled.

"I know," I answered and listened his cute laugh."Goodbye," I said, holding out my hand.

He laughed and took it, but instead of shaking it, something possessed him to kiss it, "Goodbye."

I have a feeling he just teased me.

Okay I hope Nerdy has read this and ifg you have, tell me whatchya think.
