Hey, So I am continuing on with the day. I'm not sure if I should do detention? Or start a fresh at home?
Finally it was lunch 40 minutes to escape torment; I grabbed food from the cafeteria and headed for my favorite spot outside. It is the perfect place a small table, under a tree isolated by two of the buildings walls, perfect to hide from idiots who have nothing better to do but harass me.
To my surprise Isaac was already sitting there, strange we don't usually associate outside of chemistry.
"Hello, what brings you to my patch of paradise?" I sit the opposite side of the table facing him. His hoodie wasn't covering his face so I could take in all his features. Breathe Mia.
He looked me in the eyes then down to his shoes; "Thought I would check on you"
Why does he have to have such striking eyes?
"Why?" I squirm in my seat.
"After this morning's incident, you took off pretty fast" He fiddled with his jacket.
"Oh, well no permanent damage… Physically, although my mental satiability is questionable"
He lifted his head smiled and laughed, I've never seen him smile before, and my heat skipped a beat.
"So that's a shiner, playing rough with the boys in lacrosse?" change the subject before you pass out
Isaac touched his face, "Oh, yeah happens all the time" he looked off into the distance
"Looks like a lot more complicated" he turned back to face me he looked lost.
I instinctively reached my hand across the table and touched his.
He looked me straight in the eyes with confusion, and pulled away shoving his hands into his jacket pockets.
"I'll see you later" and he was gone. I didn't even get to say goodbye.
What was I thinking reaching out; I know nothing about Isaac.
The rest of the day passed in a blur. I couldn't concentrate, was there more to Isaac's black eye? I why was this bugging me so much? I decide a little detective work couldn't hurt.
I met Jenna outside the library doors for our fantastic hour of detention, not.
"Oh, here she is... I'll talk to you later bye" Jenna put her phone in her pocket
"Hey Mia, finally we get a chance to talk, what happened this morning, what was Jackson on about?"
Hmpft "nothing Jen, I fell over on the bus" I looked at my feet
Jenna rolled her eyes and laughed "Rumors are you and Isaac had your hands all over your self's"
"WHAT... " I looked up; I couldn't contain my horror, no wonder he was so weird at lunch. And I touched him, no Mia you idiot.
"…On the bus…in front of everyone how ridiculous" Really why would people even make this up?
Jenna just laughed louder "What am I going to do with you?"
"Oh no poor Isaac, he's already being picked on" I wounded how hard today was for him
Jenna grabbed my arm and pulled me into the library "We can't be late for detention, and he's a big boy don't you worry"
