Chapter five
Annabelle woke up, bright and early the next day. She quickly dressed and ran out the door and began her walk to Degrassi. She wasn't really looking forward to today, I mean, come on it's school. She saw the school coming into her vision and instantly felt dread. She knew she was going to attempt to ignore Adam, but we'll see how long it last. Even through the dread she was Clare and smiled. She was happy to have someone here that she could talk to.
"Hey!" She said as she walked closer to Clare and Eli. Clare smiled and Eli just nodded with his typical smirk. She looked over Eli's shoulder to see Adam standing there, ignoring her once again. "Hey Adam." She said clearly so he knew she was talking to him. Nothing. She rolled her eyes and walked away from the pair of boys with Clare. "Why is he being so frustrating?" Annabelle said as she opened the front door of the school. "I'm not completely sure. I'll talk to Eli about it." Annabelle took in a deep breath and nodded her head.
Annabelle's first two class were uneventful, well, except for she couldn't take her eyes off of Adam. Why? She wasn't sure, but there was something about Adam that she just liked. Maybe I'm losing it, she thought to herself. No, she wasn't losing it, she just wanted him to talk to her. Annabelle sighed, she was beyond frustrated, she was hurt. Yeah, she'd only known him a few days, but it still hurt her for him to simply not like her and not tell her why.
Lunchtime, finally. She thought to herself as she sat next to Clare at their usual table. Adam hadn't joined them yet so she jumped at the chance to talk to Eli about his unusual friend. "Okay, Eli, what's the deal with Adam?" Eli cleared his throat. "Well, He just needs to adjust to having someone else around besides me and Clare." Annabelle nodded. She just needed to give him time like Clare had said. "Well, I'm going to start my way to class." She said as she stood up from the table.
She walked slowly down the hall, she had plenty of time. She turned the corner and there he was, Adam. Annabelle took in a deep breath and looked right Adam. "Can we please talk?" Adam turned and looked at her for the first time in awhile. "What do we need to talk about?" Annabelle was surprised, he actually talked to her. She smiled slightly. "Why are you ignoring me?" He looked away from her and to the floor. "I don't know." He said simply. "You don't know? You don't ignore someone for no reason." Annabelle rolled her eyes, he wasn't being honest with her, she could tell. "Okay, fine, I've been ignoring you because I can tell something is different with you. You're different than anyone else at this school. I feel like I can talk to you about anything and I barely even know you." Adam took in a deep breath after the long winded rant. "And that's a bad thing?" Annabelle questioned him. "No, it's a scary thing." Annabelle nodded her head. "Well, I'm here if you need me, but I'll just stay away." She turned away from him and continued her walk to class.
"Wait." She heard him say quietly. She turned back to him and smiled. "What?" He looked down away from her and then back to her eyes. Before Annabelle had time to think, Adam walked over to her and pulled her into a soft hug. Annabelle felt her smile instantly spread across her face. She hugged him back tightly. "I want to be friends with you, Annabelle." He said as he held her in that hug. "Good because I don't think I would've stopped til you said that." They both laughed quietly. They slowly pulled away from the embrace. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled. "Bye Adam." She said quietly as she placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "Hey, Annabelle." He said as she started down the hall. "Yeah?" She said as she turned back to the boy. "You should come over to my house later." Annabelle smiled widely. "Meet you outside the school?" Adam nodded as Annabelle turned to walk away.
