I walked to halls in search of something. Light barely shown above the lockers. I opened mine and slipped in my bag before closing it with a loud thud. I had forgotten my glasses this morning so I couldn't see well, but I could see.
A pair of arms pulled me back and pulled me closer. I wondered who they belonged to, but of course I wasn't thinking straight yet, it was two early in the morning. A head lay on my shoulder as the hands moved about my waist but, thankfully, that was as far as they went. I was no slut. I turned my head to see José staring, smiling at me.
"What are you doing here? It's so early," I asked.
"I'm stalking you," he joked. I had never realized how handsome he was. Maybe even more so than Jin.
I quickly glanced at my watch, 6:59, I would be late to class. I tried to break away from his grasp but he wouldn't let me. José kissed my cheek and let go, leaving me smiling as I walked to class, which I was late for.
Dang zero period, I thought. But then again, if I didn't have zero period, I wouldn't have run into him on the way to first and all this wouldn't have happened.
And Ling was helping him impress me with his Japanese, his perfect Japanese.
I couldn't concentrate on my algebra, though I still finished the notes faster than everyone else.
My hair kept falling into my face and it's not like I could read the overhead anyway. My vision was blurred.
Two people around me were missing and my mind was trailing off into José's arms.
I wrote Leticia on my paper instead of Lindsey because I was thinking of José. It was a good thing I barely had to think to get my work done. While everyone was working on the class work, I was finished with that and the homework.
Class was almost over and I thought that I might see José before first period. Then the bell rang. Now I was to go to my locker, I thought maybe he'd be waiting there for me. I exited the classroom and the sun shown brightly in my face, shielding my view for a moment. The school was now swarming with students trying to find their friends. I walked half way across the school to my locker, near the entrance.
He was waiting there for me. I told him to wait as I pulled my bag from it's hiding spot and placed it on the cement. And like that, he was on me. I didn't mind though. He understood me and I, him. This was our silent language. "So what did you do during zero?" I asked. He smiled and said nothing. He knew of my secret and silent plans and I of his.
I smiled at him longingly and to think what the new day had brought. Compared to yesterday, this was heaven.
Loving sparks glistened in José's eyes. He expected me to break away but I didn't, instead, I lay my head on his shoulder as I almost fell asleep in his arms. I opened my eyes to see Asuka staring, I closed them again and smiled. Xiao turned to corner and gasped at what she saw. As she walked past she smiled at José, knowing this was what he wanted.
