Chapter 2 :: Hide&Seek

Carlos (POV) ::

A cheetah would have been impressed with how fast i was going. I ran down the hall so fast that when i turned the corner I had to skid my foot to gain traction. I made it to class with no time to spare at all, arriving just a moment before the bell rang. Tugging at the bottom of my thermal to pull it down, i readjusted myself while panting like a mad-man. Walking over to my desk i had to endure the class that rivaled for my hatred. Actually... Now that Logan is in Chemistry.. Math takes the lead by 10 points... I was by no means a math guy. I hated every aspect of it. It was all logic, which was something i was not good at. I did fine in all my other classes, but math and i just do not get along. The only thing that made it all bearable was Mrs. Cantwell. She was a kinda a heavy set girl. Voluptuous, but not obese and was really pretty. She had that old 60's 70's look to her. She didn't dress like a hippie, but she was totally into love and just looked like a rich young lady from those times, She usually had her hair in a bun and a ponytail combo and dressed in flattering blacks and whites. But what made me truly enjoy her company was that whenever we would work or take a test. She would play music and would write down the song and the name of the artist on the white board should anyone be curious enough to want to know. And it was only convenient that we loved the singer Adele. In fact... One could say that they looked EXACTLY alike... and to top it all off she even had the strong British accent to go along with it... maybe she does it on purpose... Oh well..

"Olright class, Ow arr we doin' tewday?", asked Mrs. Cantwell, smiling. A couple people mumbled 'ehhhs' while others were saying good while someone in the class yelled "awesome!" and we all laughed. Mrs. Cantwell included.

"Yes well thank you Colin. Now i have a gift for all of you. Think of it as a reward for last weeks achievement for being moy top algebra class." The class cheered and eventually became curious as to what the prospect was.

"Instead of the usual, we're goin' tew take a lil' quiz." Several people began to groan while someone even hissed. Probably Colin...

"Not a math quiz, just a personality exam/Survey" Everyone seemed to perk up and started to sit up and straighten up in their seats. Anxious for more.

"This is called the Jung-Meyers Typology test.", she explained as she passed a packet of papers to down the row to everyone. "For now I just want you to just answer the questions." We all did as instructed, but Mrs. Cantwell emphasized that we answer each question COMPLETELY honestly for the best/accurate results. She leaned down towards her desk and started playing music that emanated from her speakers and began to write down the title and artist of the song. I watched as she scrawled down 'Hide and Seek :: Imogen Heap' and sat back down in her chair and began to grade some homework assignments. The song was very different, but Very Mrs. Cantwell. The voice was heavily layered with her own voice and was synthesized that gave a deep yet high range to her words. The pitch was dark yet bright. Heavy, yet light. A couplet in the song particularly caught my attention.

'The dust has only just begun to form'

'Crop circles in the carpet'

It sounded meaningful, but i didn't what she was trying to say. Maybe I'll ask Logie at lunch... LOGIE?... I just met him to day and I'm already giving him nicknames? Aye dios mio! What has this guy done to me? I couldn't help, but smile and think about him. After that, it was impossible to stop thinking' about him. So I just went with it. Some of the questions seemed kind of pointless. They were all true or false questions and one even asked whether or not we were always on time for our appointments. Another one asked You do jobs in a hurry. True i said to that one. There were about a hundred questions in all and felt spent for having to think about how i am.

After everyone was finished, Mrs. Cantwell sat up with another stack of papers in her arms and started handing out the same packets to everyone. Confused, we all looked at her with curiosity.

"Now that you'all av' finished what I want you' all to give this copy of the test to a frien'." Everyone started talking in excitement with who they would give theirs to. "It don't mattuh who you give it tew, yuh mum, yuh gurlfriend/boyfriend, someone you av' a crush on", she stopped to look and wink at me and i couldn't help, but blush. "After that i will determine your personalities and then you can compare them amongst each uthuh." And with that the bell rang.

She waved at everyone and wished them all a happy evening. I got up and packed my stuff and made my way to the door, until Mrs. Cantwell spoke up. "So! Carlos!", Adding emphasis on the o's. i laughed. She looked at me deviously, "oohs the lucky guy?" she asked. My eyes widened and i began to stutter.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"Oh come on now! I saw thuh way you were starin' at the window earlier! It's ovious that ya 'ehd ova eels fuh someone. Go ohn. Tell meh!" she chirped.

"Well, i uhh-uhh..." i said nervously.

"It's okay, hun. I know. I ain't goin' tew discriminate. Luv' knows no genduh in moy eyes"

I sighed and pulled up a chair next to her. "Well there's this guy i met today" 'Uh huh' she mumbled, clearly excited and interested in more. I looked at her and just gushed," Well, he's amazing! I mean he's like this smart, shy, pretty boy. His face is too cute, he's easily embarrassed. He's smart and nice. And CUTE TOO! She grinned and started waving her hands like a school girl would with her friends after discussing their latest crush. "Well, e' sounds dreeeeamy. You av' to introduce me olright'!"

"Yes of course, I'll let him know has soon as i see-.." i cut off. I realized that i have next period with Logan. "OH NO! i have to go Mrs. Thanks for everything! "I said while swinging my bag over my shoulder and bolting it out of the her room.

"Anytime Luv!" she called back while waving.,

Logan (POV) ::

Where was Carlos? I sat at an empty desk and wondered where he was cause he was nowhere in sight. Disappointed, I leaned my face onto my fist and traced the infinity symbol with my fingers on the desk. I watched the clock tick every second away until about 15sec before the bell would ring, when an exasperated Carlos leaned on the doorway and wiped his head with his wrist. I smiled and all my worries washed out of me and i stared at the cute face that pulled me into a gawk during first period. He exhaled deeply and made his way to the next adjacent to my right. He smiled and said hi, still breathing heavily.
"Hey" I replied simply. "Why are you panting?" i asked.

"I was talking to my teacher when i realized that i my next class was with y-... far away.." he said.

"Oh.." i simply said. Oh my god!.. Was he just about to say you? Maybe he does like me! Okay, okay, just play it cool, Logan don't want to mess this up.

"Today!" the man in the front exclaimed. "We will be partnering up and reenacting some courting rituals in the 1930's from American teens. So everyone partner up." Oh no! What do i do? Should i ask him to partner up with me? Would that be weird or should I j-'

"Do you wanna be partners?", Carlos suddenly asked smiling.

"Y-yeah sure." We shifted the desks to face each other and waited for the teacher to give us further instructions.

"Now", he said while setting down a textbook. "I want you and your partner to reenact the rituals that a man would perform in order to court and seduce the young woman like they would back in the 1920's-30's. For further references turn to pages 23-26 and 67-72. Have at it!"

I turned to Carlos. Anxious to see what role he would take. I was about to say something when he immediately grabbed my hand and kissed the top and said.

"Well madam you sure are looking quite lovely this evening." he coyly smiled and raised his eye brows. My face turned red like a tomato, but i was enjoying this to much to ruin it. So i played along...

"Well... I do declare Mr. Beauregard. You are my hero!" I said with the best female voice i could manage, while playing with the nonexistent hair that I had. We both laughed really hard at that.

This went on for the rest of the class period and after a while we just started talking about random things. Like how Carlos likes to wear a helmet all the time while doing crazy and dangerous stunts. He told me about this one time where he and his friends had put him in a shopping cart and let him sail off the roof. Good thing he was wearing his helmet. He could have had a major concussion or even a skull fracture, but he came out virtually unscathed, all except a couple bruises on his sides and legs. I enjoyed talking to Carlos. It's odd though.. Normally i would be so shy around people, but he makes me feel safe and comfortable. The other thing is im easy to irritate, and the antics he performs would annoy me to high hell, but like i said... There's just something about Carlos.

The bell rang. And we started to pack all out stuff and head out. We walked down the hall our lockers; which by the way were only 4 spaces apart. Yay! I thought. We jammed our bags into the locker and shut the lockers when he looked at me and smiled. Stoppppp! you're gonna make me fall down in front of everyone! Wait... maybe i should.. He might think that i fainted and might perform CPR... NO! LOGAN YOU PERVE!

"Ready to meet my friends?", he asked. Clearly excited.

"Y-yeah." i said. My face started getting red. He noticed my reaction and said.

"It's okay. My friends are really cool. You'll like them. And they'll like you too" smiling...

I took a deep breath and he lead me down a couple hallways to the cafeteria.. Here we go...
