Alone Ch. 4 - A Surprisingly Good Day
A/N:
Hey everyone! Hope you like this next chapter. I personally think there's a lot of potential to this story. I know the first couple chapters probably drove readers away but I know this one is going to be a good one. Please give me you're feedback on this story. I really need your support... And yes, I will keep on with Regret, and for those of you who haven't read Regret, please do. Also, I have a new office app that I'm writing these documents on and it's really annoying to control but it's all I have. So please bear with me. Hope you enjoy it!

Humphrey's POV:
Math passed by quick... too quick. Hopefully that's a good thing. It was the first day and we already dug in straight to the lessons. Most people were talking and trying to meet up with friends and they completely ignored the work we were given. Kate and I were the opposite. We finished our work as fast as we possibly could. We were a good team. We even finished all of our homework, and we had a good twenty minutes before the period ended. When we finished, we put everything away in haste and stretched out our sore writing hands. Then, as if it were planned, like magic, at the same time, we both kicked back in our seats and popped a headphone into our ears so we could relax. We looked at each other and both chuckled quietly because no one else saw what just happened. "Looks like we got a lot in common. And thanks for helping on that work. We make a pretty good team," I casually said as I cast a smile in Kate's direction. "You're not too bad yourself hot shot! Pleasure to work with you. This will be a good year. I've got a good feeling," She happily replied. "I couldn't help but notice that amazing T-shirt. I'm a die-hard fan of Paramore. I have their full self-titled album, a lot of their singles, and I have a couple of picks from their other albums, but I still want more," I told her. "Hey, that's so cool!" She exclaimed, "I wondered who would recognize this shirt. You're the only person I've seen so far that loves this group as much as I do. I love Paramore. I've listened to them ever since I discovered "Misery Business". After that, a whole bunch of Itunes cards went into their music. The only full album I have is their self-titled one. You listen to them a lot?" Kate asked. "I'm listening to them right now," I answered with another smile. "Wait, pause your MP3. What song are you listening to?" Kate asked as she pulled out her MP3. I was kind of confused at first. I didn't know why she was asking me that. I pulled out my MP3 to check the song. I was so focused on my conversation with her that I wasn't even paying attention to the song. I looked at the screen and smiled. It was my all-time favorite ballad from them. Hell, favorite ballad from rock in general! "I'm listening to The Only..." I cut off as Kate finished my sentence with me. "The Only Exception," we said together. I couldn't believe all of these amazing coincidences were popping up. She's just like me! "Wow..." I uttered as we stared at each other in awe. Her eyes were like honey. They blew me away. I was entranced. The loud school bell interrupted my thoughts. Damn it. I won't be able to spend time with her. "Hey, what classes do you have Humphrey? I'd like it if you could show me down the hallways and everything," Kate said. "Let's compare schedules," I told her. She handed me the little yellow slip with her classes. I couldn't help but read in disbelief because aside from first block, all of our classes were the same! I jumped and screamed with joy on the inside. Kate realized that we had the whole day together and I heard her whisper a faint, "Yes!" We both turned to each other and smiled. "Well, looks like I got a partner in crime for the whole day. This is surprisingly good!" I said. "Well, I guess I do too! So what do you say partner? English?" Kate asked with a grin. "Let's go," I answered. And with that, we headed out of the classroom side by side. Ready to take on the next class.
