Seth's Pov

After having finished dinner, talked with mum, got into a bit of an argument with Leah, I headed back upstairs to my room, wanting to get back to my diary, or research, or… or whatever you want to call it.

But as I entered my room, I looked between my book and my bed. I really did want to get back to my writing, but my bed just seemed to call to me. Well more like my body, and my body seemed to betray me as my feet started to take me towards my bed instead of my book.

xXxXxXx

The feeling of warmth coming onto my faces was what startled me awake from my sleep. Slowly opening my eyes, I squeezed then shut the rays of the sun becoming way too bright. Huffing in annoyance I brought my blanket up higher to my face and rolled away from the annoying light.

Sighing in content, I started to drift back to sleep, wishing and hoping that I could get back to my wonderful dream.

But unfortunately fate seemed to have other plans for me, because as I was drifting back to sleep, my alarm decided to let it's self be known. So groaning in annoyance –this time- I pushed my blanket away from me and got out of bed, slightly stomped my way to the bathroom and did the usual, toilet and then shower, then headed back to my room to get dressed for school. I was the only one home in the morning on the weekdays, Leah was off studying at a community college and mum was up early volunteering at different places before going to her real job.

So it was lonely in the mornings when I woke up. But I kind of enjoyed it. I wasn't really a happy chappie when it comes to waking up. Even after having a shower.

After having gotten myself some form of breakfast together, I went back up to my room and grabbed my bag, and just as I was about to exit my room, my book caught my attention. Slowly turning towards my book, I paused, wondering if I should or if I shouldn't take it with me. I kind of did want to bring it with me, but then I didn't just in case someone found it and flipped through it.

But in the end I ended up taking it with me.

xXxXxXx

It was lunch time and I was having a major melt down. I've been packing and unpacking my locker ever since lunch started, my brain was working well over its usual limit whenever I got to school. But right now it was okay for this circumstance.

For I couldn't find my Book.

The very same book I brought to school thinking that it would be a great idea to bring and do some more writing. But as of this moment, I was cursing myself for ever thinking that as I searched my locker high and low for my Book.

As I continued to search high and low for my book, I thought of where was the last time I placed it, and all that was coming to my mind was me placing it in my locker. But as I turned my locker upside down, I couldn't see it in here. Yet that still didn't stop me from unpacking and packing my locker thinking that I probably missed it. But it was pointless, I still couldn't find it.

Sighing in defeat, resting against my locker door after packing it for the sixth time; I closed my locker and rested against the other lockers around mine.

"Why… Why…Why did I have to bring it…?" I mumbled to myself as I slide down till I was sitting on the floor. "Seth you're an idiot" I muttered as I hit my head softly against the locker I was leaning against.

Over and over I was replaying in my mind what I did with my book and where I could've possibly have left it. But unfortunately I still couldn't come up with a reason as to why my book has suddenly left my presence. I groaned as the bell went, indicating the end of lunch, which would mean the crowd of people leaving the cafeteria, would soon be flooding these halls in a matter of seconds.

I groaned as I got up from my sitting position and reopened my locker, grabbing the books I needed for the current and next lessons I have before school finally comes to an end.

Again I sighed as I closed my locker and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd. As I looked to where I was going, making sure I didn't run into anyone, I stopped and looked as I noticed something red from the corner of my vision. Turning to look in the direction I thought I saw red, I sighed as I realised that it wasn't my book. But as I continued to walk down the hall I accidently bumped into something, or more like someone. Slowly raising my head I came face to face with…. What was his name again?

'J-Ja-'

'Jared' I mentally nodded, agreeing that I got the name right for the person I bumped into. "Sorry, I wasn't looking" I muttered, thinking I'd just pass by him and be on my way.

"It's no problem. I should've been watching where I was going instead of looking on my phone" Jared said, as he continued to stand there not moving at all.

"Uhh… Is there something I can help you with?" I asked a little confused that this guy, this handsome looking guy, was standing around like there was nothing to it.

"Huh?" He looked at me a little confused before seeming to have suddenly realised something. "Oh yeah" he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to me. "This is for you"

Confused and a little nervous about receive a piece of paper from a random person, I found myself slowly reaching out for the paper and grabbed hold of it. "Thanks"

I watched as Jared nodded before walking around me and walking down the hall and merging in with the rest of the crowd. Looking down at the paper, I unfolded it to see what was written on it.

'If you want to see you book. Come to the gym after school, wait five minutes before coming to the gym'

My mood changed from shocked to anger in a matter of seconds when I finished reading this note. Crumping the note in my hand I stomping my way through the hall towards my class, knowing exactly who it was that took my book.

xXxXxXx

It was the end of school, and I was in the library, doing some last minute studying. Well it is true about the studying, but really it was so that I could kill some time before I had to go to the gym. Looking over to my phone, I noticed that it's been about fifteen minutes that have passed since school finished. Slightly panicking at the time, I hurried to pack my things and get to the gym.

About halfway to the gym, I realised that I shouldn't be acting like this. Why the hell should I be reacting like this, it's just giving the person leverage over me, about how important the book really is too me. Even though it is true that it's very important to me, I still couldn't let them know how important it is to me…. Right?

I quickened my pace just a bit, and soon I could see the doors to the gym within view. Pressing my hands against the double doors and pushing both of them open, I was greeted with an empty gym. Slightly confused, I walked slowly into the gym, hoping and praying that no balls or bodies come flying at me as I walk into the gym.

Instead, I was greeted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. Whipping my head around to behind me I was greeted by… 'What was his name again?' I thought, trying hard to remember the person behind me leaning against the wall, I noticed in his hand was a book, and upon closer inspection, I found it not to be my book. I sighed in disappointment and relief before returning my attention back to…. 'Uhh…. What's his name again?'

'J-Ja-ja….'

"James" I called, remembering the name of the male. "What are you doing here?" I asked, knowing that it probably wasn't my place to say, but hey, I was here to get my book, not meet different people throughout the whole day.

"I was waiting for you" he said, pushing up from the wall and walking towards me. "I have something for you" he said, grabbing his bag and reaching into it, and pulling out a red object. And upon closer inspection, I noted that it was my book.

My Book.

"Oh my god!" I said excitement in my voice as I go to reach for it. But it was pull from my reach and back into James' bag. "What the hell?" I asked confused as to why he would do something like that.

"Well, the person that was meant to be giving you the book left it in my care since you didn't end up showing up on time. So you'll have to wait till next week to get your book" he said, shrugging before shouldering his bag and walking off. "Next time, don't be late" he called, walking out of the gym and making me the last one in the building.

I stood there staring at James' retreating back in shock. Pulling out my phone, I looked at the time, and noticed that it was now thirty-three minutes after school has finished. 'Why, did I have to be stubborn and take so long to get here' I thought, sighing in defeat as I started to leave the gym, knowing that I now had to wait till next week till I can finally get my book back.

xXxXxXx


An: And that is the end of that. Heh heh. I'm really concerned about this chapter. My main problem about is, is that I really hope that it makes sense. I don't know I just seemed to have a bit of writers block when I came to this chapter.

Anyway, Please let me know what you thought about this chapter. I'm really hoping that it's okay. So please review.
