As the class began I was forced to sit up and look like a normal person. When I snuck a look at him out the corner of my eye, I noticed he wasn't even looking at me. In fact it seemed as if he wasn't interested in anything at all. He was looking down at his phone and I could see his thumb moving rapidly over the screen.
I frowned and looked towards the whiteboard at the front of the room. It seemed as if the teacher was nominated for most cruel-annoying-stupid-person-who-gives-shitloads-of-homework-because-he-has-no-life-and-likes-to-torture-innocent-teenagers award. I reckon he's a shoe in.
I sighed, frustrated at my own internal rambling, he probably thinks I'm crazy. I turned to look at him and had another heart attack when I realised I had caught him staring at me.
My stupid reaction was to wave. Yeah I freakin' waved at him. Even though I was only like 5cm away from him. My eyes widened at my own idiocy and I turned away to continue copying the teachers dumb notes.
I'm such an idiot, why do I always turn to mush when I look at him? You know I may as well just go live in the wild. I'll go live with the apes and chill with Tarzan.
I was brought out of my incessant internal rambling when the bell rang. Thank god that's over. But as I rose I managed to knock all of my stuff onto the floor. Most of the class were already out the door so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Masen turn around and walk over to me. He bent down and helped me gather my stuff.
"Thanks." I said
"No problem." He replied smoothly.
"I guess you kinda had too, we are married and all." I said with a laugh.
OMG. Holy shit on a stick. What the the hell just came out of my mouth? Omg I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die.
He looked confused for a second and then he began laughing.
"Uh yeah I guess. We better get going though….." he said whilst looking around the room.
The next class had begun filing in, so without a word I clung to my stuff so I wouldn't drop it again and followed him out of the room.
There weren't many people in the hallway and I wondered just how late I was.
"Hello? Bellaaaaa….." he said with a smile, dragging out my name.
"Yes?" I replied sadly. I think I'm going to be a nun. That's my new life goal. Ill worship Jesus and never see him again. Good plan Bella.
Oh no he's staring at me again. Shit he probably thinks I'm schizophrenic or something. Omg I think I'm gonna puke.
"Bella come on!" he said suddenly.
"What?" I replied looking around to see what had gotten him so frantic.
"Come on!" he said again grabbing my wrist and pulling me down the hallway.
Just as we ran around the corner I caught sight of the principle heading towards us.
"We need to hide!" I whispered as we ran.
I don't know when we officially decided to ditch I guess we just came to a silent mutual agreement.
Suddenly he pulled me into small gap between lockers. The space was so small that I was pressed up against him from head to toe.
The principle walked passed us without a glance in our direction. I was beginning to like this. Just standing here practically in the arms of a greek god. And then I realised he was staring at me and once again the shit hit the fan.
He stepped out of the small space pulling me out with him. He held my hand for a few seconds before dropping it and turning to scan the hallway behind him.
My thoughts were frantic. Half of my brain kept coming up with ways to go into hiding so I could stop embarrassing myself, and the other half was jumping to conclusions thinking that maybe he actually liked me.
"I think I'm gonna faint…."
"Oh, sorry." He said as he looked back at me.
Balls. Did I just say that out loud?
"Bella?"
Yeah guess I did.
"Yeah?" I replied quietly.
"You gonna be ok?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I said brushing it off. Maybe I could still save this conversation before fate crept in to bully me.
"You wanna get outta here?"
I looked at him confused. He wants to ditch with me! I wondered if he could see the internal fireworks and siesta that was going on inside my mind.
My face must still look confused because he felt the need to add,
"I mean outta the hallway, in case he comes back."
"Oh yeah. Of course." I replied at the exact same time of the sound of footsteps approaching.
He looked at me with a smile before taking off in the other direction.
I almost melted, but then quickly regained my composure and ran after him with a smile stretched across my face. thanks again please review!
I could get used to this.
Author's note.
hey everyone,
I apologise hugely for the massive delay in an update.
I got a lot of alerts and favourites on this story which is great thankyou!
school is over now so hopefully I can update regularly. If you have any ideas or suggestions for this story please review and let me know.
half the reason for the delay was because I had no idea how to continue.
* And also just to make it clear.
I personally hate the character bella. I think shes weird and stupid, so I have my own character who I simply put in the role of bella. So this bella wont be very close to the real one, she'll still be clumsy but she will play sport and be fashionable. Hope that's okay.
