I looked down at him surprised at he grabbed my hand. I could feel my face start heating up slightly, as his eye met mine. For a moment everything around us seemed to freeze, I slightly paniced knowing if it really stopped it would be my fault. Until his lips parted and he started to speak in a calm, relaxing voice.
"Don't seem so nervous, you were at the fight today, right?" He said trying to be cool. Now its my turn, breath, be cool.
"Ya you know, I could have been. I'm in a lot of places..." I said shrugging. Did that sound to distant? Did I push him away? Crap what am I thinking?!
"You're a funny guy. I guess the school is pretty big and there are so man other cool guys with blue hair." He said with a smirk. He put his hand on his knee and pushed himseld to his feet grabbing his bag, "My name is Saijii by the way. Though with all the rumors I've heard about myself today, I'm sure you know that."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jake..." I said growing nervous seeing his slender frame up close, was a bit intimidating. I looked him over for a moment, but once I met his eyes again he seemed focused. Like there was something on his mind he wasn't sharing or something much deeper than that.
"Are you busy after school?" He asked bluntly as I tried to keep my face from turning red. Why did he want to know about after school?! Ok, ok be cool! I can do this...
"I normally walk home with my cousins. Other than that no, I could tell them not to wait up. I could walk with you instead if you'd like me to hang back." I said after a short pause. Again he seemed to be reading me, the bell rang to change lunches. As he nodded his head softly, coming to some kind of idea in his head.
"Tell them to meet us in the forest behind the school." He said turning and started to walk away, "Oh one more thing...keep it cool, ok?"
"O-ok..." I said surprised. 'Keep it cool'? What did he mean? There's no way he knew about my powers! I need to text Ty and Rose!
Jake: Hey you guys. We need to talk, ASAP!
Rose: ur in class, I'm eating
Ty: don't be rude Rosie3
Rose: sit with me!
Jake: Listen! The new kid wants us ALL to meet with him after schoo in the forest behind the school ok?
Ty and Rose: ...
Jake: Come on I want to know what he wants to talk about
-Rose has left the group-
Jake: Ty want do you think?
Ty: I want t know about this guy, Rose says she's game. Even if we said no you would go so we might as well go.
Jake: Thanks you guys
-Rose has entered the group-
Rose: PAIC!
Jake: ya ya I know...
Ty: ?
Jake: Pay Attention In Class
-Jake has left the group-
I looked up at the clock, second lunch is almost over. One more then two more classes. I'll get to see him again, I laid my head on my desk falling asleep. Listening to the bell for second lunch to go to class and third lunch to go to lunch. The next set of bells will be to let us go to our next class; I can sleep till them. Unless the teacher wants me, like he nearly always does when I nap.
I stepped into the forest alone, Rose and Ty both desided not to come. Whatever reason I couldn't recall at the moment. Even though I'm sure I just saw them. I stepped into a small clearing seeing him standing there. He was looking at a rabbit with a kind smile on his face. I stepped closer as his eyes slowly looked over to me, his smile never faiding.
"I'm glad you are here." He said standing up slowly not to frighten the rabbit.
"My cousins couldn't make it." I said quickly, nervous he may want to end it if they went here with us.
"That's ok, I don't have to be so formal then. It's just you and I after all." He said stepping closer to me slowly reaching out for me. I could feel my face heating up as he slowly lended in. Just as I closed my eyes to meet my lips to his there was a loud ring sound causing me to jump.
A dream?! I just had a dream about him?! I need to think, how will I be able to see him if all I can think about is that? I walked through the halls bumping into a few people here and there. I didn't care, my next class was a studyhall. Rose was in there, I could talk to her about Saijii. I just can't tell her about the dream. I stepped into the room looking for Rose's turqoise blue hair. I rushed to her and sat down looking at her as she ssent someone a text.
"Who you talkin' to?" I asked trying to change my voice to make it sound deeper. Maybe she wouldn't notice it was me.
"EEK!" She let out on a nearly empty room, as her face turned a soft shade of red. She threw her head forward and headbutting me in the nose. I fell back in mt chair holding my face. Maybe that was to far, "J-Jake? Are you ok?"
"Y-you got me...in the nose..." I looked up at her in slight pain.
"I'm sorry Jake..."
"You should have known it was me..." I pushed myself up as I looked at her. There was no way she didn't...right?
"You're one to talk! I don't read those here...no point, you and Ty...you know."
"Wait wait wait...you has no room to talk?! It's in your blood!"
"Shut up! Study will you?! I know you have a writting test coming up."
"I don't need you to babysit me!" After that we didn't talk. I spent the class doing everything but studying. I didn't need a babysitter. When the class ended I pushed out of the room heading stright for my last class. I was to upset with Rose to want to talk to Ty like we did this time everyday. I let the class drag on as he explaned what was going to be on the test. I guess she was only looking out for me. Man I'm a dumdy, I need to cool down instead of getting angry with her. I watched the time tick down slowly, waiting for the bell that didn't ring on time. I jumped up and did my best to push out of the rush. I headed for my locker, did away with most of my supplies. Throwing my bag over my shoulder and shutting my locker I rushed outside smelling the fresh air. I run to the forest, students went allowed back there right after school. I walked throw the forest slowly letting my bag slide off my shoulder, when I came to the clearing. I saw someone kneeling there, my heart started to race. The closer I got the clearer the figure become and other than the small animal, they were alone.
