After I walked off I found my class with ease. I was dreading walking in and everyone staring at me. I signed and decided to just get on with it. I opened the door and walked in, shutting the door behind me. I took a seat, hoping the teacher hadn't noticed, but I was wrong. I soon heard someone clearing their throat.
"Excuse me, but I will not stand for tardiness. What is your name Miss?" I looked up to see 31 pairs of eyes on me.
"My name is Kalli Nash." I said softly, avoiding his eyes.
"Well Miss Nash, please grab a book off the shelf in the back right and start reading until you reach page 300." He said and then pointed to a black woodened shelf with small books on it. I nodded to him and said thank you. I then got up and walked back to the shelf. I picked up a book that was titled The Life of Alaznder Guice. I went back to my desk and had just sat down when I heard the door shut. I looked up and it was him. His eyes caught in mine and I felt my face get red. I quickly looked at the ground.
Please tell me that he doesn't recognize me. I could only hope.
I could feel his eyes burrowing a hole into the top of my head, while my face kept getting redder and redder. I then looked up to see him gone and sighed to myself.
"I see we have another later student, what is you name sir?" I heard the teacher say.
I looked up wondering who he was talking to and hoping that it was not who I thought it was. I then heard another male voice that sounded all too familiar to me.
"Mikel Kero." was all I heard and I turned my head around to see him sitting behind me. His eyes met mine and for a moment I was lost in the depths of them. Then I heard the teacher clear his voice and I knew he was about to say something very important so I turned back around, relieved to be taken away from his gaze.
"Mr. Kero please get a book from the back shelf and Miss Nash will give you the assignment." I could not help, but to groan. The guy I was trying to avoid and keep myself away from was being told that I would help him. Why me? "Hello Miss Nash. You walked away before I could ask you your name." I could feel his breath on my neck and all I could do was close my eyes and try not shudder.
"Well? What is your name dear?" he asked with a cool tone in his voice. "My name is Kalli." I said. Did he just call me dear? He stared at me for a while before saying anything.
"So Kalli what are we supposed to be doing?" He asked, his eyes staring into mine. I blushed slightly hoping he would not notice.
"Um, we are supposed to be reading to page 300 tonight." was all I said. He smiled slightly. I went red again and then I turned around.
"Hay Kalli, I know this might be a bit soon to ask since we just met, but since we have much reading to do and we are both in the same class, why not we read it together?" he asked me.
I could feel his warm breath on my skin. I kept myself facing forward, but leaned slightly back. "Um, I am not sure. I would have to ask my aunt. She does not like me going places on my own." I felt bad lying to him because in all reality my aunt could care less where I was at. "Oh, okay. Hmm, How about I go home with you and we can read there?" he suggested to me.
I just decided to just give in. Plus, he would just end up leaving me for some other girl who was prettier than me. "Okay." I told him, slightly sad about the thought of lying to him. I lean forward and sighed. I wish this day would end.
(Mikel)
"Well, what is your name dear?" I asked her. She smelt of the forest after it rained. Did I call her dear? She turned around and her brown chocolate colored eyes warmed my heart.
"My name is Kalli." She said in a soft whisper. I could smell her perfume. It smelled of wild flowers. She is so beautiful, but she would never go for someone like me, she could not. She would just end up like the others. I slowly realized that she was starting to stare at me.
"So, Kalli..What are we supposed to be doing?" I asked, looking at her eyes.
"Um, we are supposed to be reading to page 300 for tonight." She said in a shaky voice. I could not help but smile slightly. She turned a bit pink and turned around.
Hmm..She is a very interesting character I must say. I wasn't supposed to hang out with her because it could endanger her life, but for the heck of it I decided to go against what I said.
"Hay Kalli, I know this might be a bit soon considering we have just met, but since we have much reading to do and we are both in the same class, I figured why not we read it together. What do you say?" I kept my fingers crossed mentally after I had said it. I could smell her shampoo and it almost drove me mad.
She then leaned back slightly.
"Um, I am not sure. I would have to ask my aunt. She does not like me going places on my own." She said in a shaky tone.
I felt bad. I could tell she was lying to me, but of course I found a way around it.
"Oh okay. Hmmmm. How about I go over to your house and we can read there?" I suggested to her.
There was no way she could get out of that.
"Okay." I heard her whisper. She then leaned forward and sighed. I was about to start reading the book I was told to get when I heard a bell ring. Kalli jumped out of her seat and I caught her before she fell out of her chair. She then nodded thanks and rushed off to find her next class.
I sighed to myself and gave myself a mental pat on the back. Until after school, my dear. I then looked at my schedule and sighed. It was time for English Honors with a Mr. Hun in room 532 building 5.
Pretty soon I found my class and my day seemed to start going faster and faster. Mr. Hun's class was okay. We did writings and an aptitude test to see where we were at. I passed it with ease. It was then third block and I soon found out that Kalli was also in it. It was Computing for College Careers with Mrs. Burbaker.
The teacher sat us right near each other to except we were side by side now. I leaned over and blew on the nape of her neck to get her attention. She shivered slightly and then looked over at me, while rubbing her arms to make herself warm again. I offered my jacket as a peace offering to keep her warm and she took it gratefully and then she smiled at me.
"Kalli, where should we meet after school?" I asked her.
"Um, meet out front near the flag pole and then we can walk to my house." She replied back.
"Okay, see you then Kalli." I replied and nodded.
She returned my nod, then a bell rang and everyone was pushing out of the classroom to get to the cafeteria.
