Some secrets are meant to be kept Vince…
He felt her presence in the room before he even set eyes on her.
Slowly, with some restraint, he turned his head towards her, causing his black hair to fall over his left eye. She was wearing a tight purple sweater and fluro blue skinny leg jeans. Her hair was held up in a no-nonsense bun.
"Aaah, nice of you to grace us with your presence Miss Winstanley," Mr. Castle cocked his head to the left and raised one cynical eyebrow. If there was one thing the old fossil hated more than anything, it was to be interrupted in one of his pathetic lectures.
Shifting his undivided attention back to her, Vince watched her pace to the back of the classroom and take her seat. Though only a simple act, it was demonstrated with utmost graciousness. She sat down on the chair behind the old wooden desk just after their eyes met. Izadora leaned back, and focused on the teacher and hishead returned to its usual position. Except this time, as he stared down at the brown, rotting desk, he could have sworn she smiled at him.
As soon as class was dismissed, he made his way towards her.
"Hey, Iza. You still mad at me? "It was the closest greeting that imitated calmness. Emphasis on imitated since his heart skipped so many beats per second.
"Oh, well look who it is..." The sides of her face pulled up into a smile that drove Vince crazy. Iza's smiled always revealed straight white teeth which complimented her dark, milk-chocolate skin. Her arms circled his torso, drawing him in a tight hug.
"Wow, you're still talking nicely to me after last night?"
"I'm still talking to you. Period." Iza's embrace suddenly collapsed as she placed her arms at her sides, looking at him through her dark, caramel, mesmerising eyes.
Vince let out a sigh that was full of exasperation, "Can you blame me? I mean, I shouldn't have kept those things from you but me-"
"Damn it Vince! We've been through already, if you don't trust me enough to tell me...what you REALLY are, then I'm starting to wonder if you trust me at all. Like I said, I can handle the truth." And with that she turned away and disappeared amongst the tidal wave of students scrambling in the hallway.
