I sit watching his back as he leaves. I would take a lifetime of beatings if it meant I could have just one more conversation like that one. I think my mind is so happy, my body is numb. I can't move.
But he walked away, without even a 'goodbye'. I wonder why… I thought we were having fun, but maybe that was just me.
The distant noise of bustling children interrupts my thoughts. Is it the end of school already? Oh god. I missed the whole afternoon. They'll call my dad and he'll be so angry, but maybe not when he sees my face. I hope not. I slowly arise from the chair I'm sitting in, only to stumble dizzily. I think I've forgotten how to stand up. My legs flail about uselessly below me as I attempt to walk across the room.
Will he talk to me again? Or was that just out of pity? He's taking pity on me. Fantastic. I've moved from a nobody to a charity case. Maybe in my head I can drift off into fantasies of us running through a meadow together, cheesy or what? If I just tilt my head to the side and let my mind wander, it won't be too hard, after all, I do it every day…

What am I doing? I just skipped the whole afternoon and will probably be grounded for until my next birthday, just to talk to someone who I may or may not be in love with. Life sucks. How do you know if you're in love with someone? Does your heart speed up when they're around? Because mine does. Do giant hearts appear in your eyes? OK maybe I'm not that crazy. I suppose you just know. But if you've never been in love before, how do you know what love feels like? I've had girlfriends in the past, but they never lasted, they were all stupid and shallow, and Crosses of course. There's another thing, she's a nought. Why should that matter? Because it does matter. Because society dictates so. Because of what people like Paul, Crosses like Paul believe.
Oh god. I'm getting a headache.
I'll see her tomorrow, and if I don't, I'll see her somehow. I'll make sure of it. I need to see her, like I need oxygen. In my head it goes Emilia, oxygen, water, food. Not very clever, but hey, neither am I. I'm in love with a nought. I'm a Cross and I love a nought. I'm a dog and I'm in love with a cat. I could go on forever. But I'll bore myself.
Her face pushes its' way to the front of my mind. Her beautiful, bruised and battered face. I know now that that's why I was angry. If anyone tries to hurt her, they'll have me to deal with. I love her and if anyone destroys that, I'll kill them.
A/N OOOOHHHH…. It's getting interesting keep reading!!!
