Sorry, it's short! I only have 40 minutes left on my laptop. D:
I tried really hard not to blush, but it was hard. My lifelong crush was standing right behind me. He put my bag by my feet and walked to his desk. Ah! He's in my class! Lucky!
"You're late Heag."
"Overslept."
12? That's my age… There's no way he'll be able to jump over that. It's way taller than him.
"He did it again! He beat the record, one set by himself! Truly, truly amazing! How far can this kid go?" I stared at the tv, watching him jump over the bar with so much grace. Pole-vaulting must've been his specialty.
Wow. He's amazing.
I kept track of him, reading articles of him beating records, one after the other. He wouldn't stop.
He wouldn't give up.
"Jeez, you sound like a girl," he murmured as he walked past me. I just stared at how tall he was in real life.
"Did you just see that? Did you just seethat? Kyle Heag strikes again with his deadly shot!" I watched the tv, seeing that Kyle also played basketball. I watched him go back in forth with the ball, playing like he was having the time of his life. I smiled and rested my chin on my hand and watched him play the game.
"So where did you transfer from?" the teacher asked me as I walked to the front of the classroom.
"I came from Japan," I replied. Just with that murmurs started going around the room. 'Just what I needed…'
"Well you sit right over there," he told me pointing at an empty desk. I walked over and put my stuff down. I was only 3 desks back and one row over from Kyle. Why couldn't I be closer? I sat down and stared in his general direction. I didn't want it to be obvious that I liked him.
"So, you're the new kid from Japan." I looked over to see a buff kid looking at me.
"Is there an issue?" I countered. I really didn't want to pick a fight already.
"I like you. My name is Grant," he said grinning. He extended his hand. Hesitantly I shook it. We didn't normally shake in Japan.
"Cameron," I replied.
"Cam. It's much shorter," he huffed. I nodded. Whatever I needed to do to fit in.
"So do you know any hot girls over there?" he asked with a mischievous glint. I rolled my eyes. Boys.
"Well it depends on what type-"
"You haven't done iteither then," he said in my midsentence. I felt myself go pale.
"WHA-" I stopped when something hit my back really hard.
"Ha ha ha! It's okay," he replied, probably thinking he was patting my back. I knew that my back was going to be red. I tried not to blush, and I think I did okay. "I'll lead you around the school," he replied. "Just to help you out." I nodded and looked to the front of the room, paying attention. But then I found myself looking in his general direction again. The bell rang and he jumped out of his seat. Quickly I scrambled to get my stuff together, but not quick enough. Kyle was out the door and Grant was smiling next to me, talking about the school.
So the day went on, Grant telling me about the school and blah blah blah. I really didn't listen much, but he didn't realize that. Next thing I knew we were out of school and we were walking towards the dorms. Did I not mention? It's an all boys school with dorms.
How did I get in? Let's go with a magician never reveals his secrets. Also it involved cutting my hair and getting a denim vest, but who's going to notice?
"So how do I know which room is mine?" I asked as we rounded the corner.
"Oh, in the entrance it says the room assignments-" Suddenly I was knocked over and a tongue was licking my face. It was pretty safe to assume it was a dog.
"Wha-"
"Sorry!" the maintance guy came over and took the dog off me and dragged him off.
"Well that was weird," Grant commented. I looked at him.
"Why?" I questioned.
"That dog only likes girls," he replied walking into the dorms ahead of me. My heart skipped a beat. I flew across the world almost, and it was going to end now? Then he turned and smiled. "It's probably only because you look like a girl. Let's go find out what room you're in," he said walking again to the doors. I quickly jogged to catch up. He talked to me normally as we walked the few feet.
He didn't realize the truth.
My heart went back to normal as we entered the dormitories. We stopped to look at the dorm assignments.
"Huh, with that same old guy again," he said pointing his finger at his name.
Who's Evan Turgeon?
I looked at the room next to him and my heart stopped. I was next to him, but I shared a room with Kyle.
My day just got a whole lot better.
Okay, I know it's still not clear what's going on, so if you're confused about something, put it in the review and I'll reply to it.
