Chapter 4
The bell, that signaled the end of class, rang out loud and clear throughout the classroom. Everyone gladly got up from their seats and started gathering their books, bags and anything else that was theirs.
"Don't forget your essays are due on Friday!" Mr. Hudson added quickly as his students started filing out of the room. Alice took her time unlike her piers. She was fully aware also of the presence that stood next to her watcher her. Alice didn't look up into his face until she was finished placing her books and pens back into her back pack.
"Are you ready now?" James asked when Alice stood up.
"Yes. What class do you have next?" Alice replied.
"Math." He said with a beautiful smile.
"Alright." Alice said.
"I'm James by the way."
"I know. You just told everyone. Remember?" Alice said.
"Witty." He teased with a smile, "But we should get going now, don't you think?"
"Yea we should. Let's get going then." Alice said slinging her back pack over her shoulder.
"Lead the way." James said. Alice walked past James towards the door. James followed her till they got out into the hall, then he changed his pace to match hers.
"So why did you move here?" Alice asked, as they made their way down the hall.
"My parents recently died. So my aunt and uncle took me in." James replied casually.
"I'm sorry. I know how it is to have everything taken away suddenly." Alice said, and a frown formed on her face as she remembered last year, "It happened to me last year."
"Yea. It's hard isn't it?" James said. Alice only nodded.
"How did they die?" Alice asked.
"I don't really want to talk about it right now, if you don't mind." James replied angrily.
"Oh," Alice said startled, "Alright." She lead him the rest of the way in silence. She still couldn't figure out why he had reacted in such a way.
"Here you are. 305, math class. See ya." Alice said quickly, trying to hurry away from the beautiful boy she'd dreamt about. But as she turned to leave, James grabbed her wrist, making her turn back.
"Wait." He said softly, Alice looked into his incredible eyes, they were even more amazing in color than in her dreams, "I'm sorry. I must seem like such a jerk. I shouldn't have gotten upset about what happened to my parents. Could you ever forgive me?" James said.
"It's alright." Alice replied, "I understand. Just because I've become comfortable with talking about my families death doesn't mean you are."
"So I'll meet up with you at lunch?" James asked finally releasing Alice's wrist. She absent-mindedly rubbed the place where his hand had gripped her wrist.
"Uh, yea sure. I got to get to my class." Alice said now in a hurry to get to class. She took off at a quick pace towards the way she just walked with James from.
