~Find the Answer.~

"...Wait...don't tell me it was you..."
We stared into eachothers eyes.

"...Me? What?" He said.

I stared at him harder, looking for an answer.

He stared back, then quickly averted his eyes.

"Uhm, well..." He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a bandage.

I flinched as he slowly pulled out the glass that had wedged into my hand.

"Sorry", he apologized and quickly put the bandage over the cut.

"...You...was it you...? I looked at him again.

"I...I'm going to head to class first."
He got up and walked away.

I stared after him until he was out of sight, then I looked back down at my hand.

That time...right before I had blacked out...someone had grabbed me.

...It definitely felt the same, I squeezed my hand.

I walked into class a few minutes late, and was greeted with an icy coldness.

Stares.
They came from everywhere.

All of them, screaming at my existence.
Trying to snub it out.

I Tuned them out.

I stared at the only thing that I could not ignore.
A blue ocean, that avoided my look.

I paused before I took my seat behind him, but he continued to stare out the window, as if there was something calling for him.

I don't get it. Why?
Why hasn't he said anything?

...Why did he save me?

When class ended, I tried to approach him.
He quickly got up and walked out, and I lost my chance.

...Why?

We crossed paths again in the hallway, during free period.
" Hey I-" I started to say, but he quickly shuffled past me.

...Why.

Finally, during lunch- I had enough.

I walked into the classroom, receiving dirty looks, of course.
I didn't care.

He was eating by the window.
Two girls stood by his desk, trying to talk to him.

...I didn't care.
I walked up and shoved one of them out of they way.

Her friend caught her before she fell. "Hey!" both of them angrily looked at me.

He looked up at us, startled.
"How dare you, bitch!" The girl stood back up.

I glared at her.
"You'll pay..." Her friend mumbled and they both walked off.

I'm sure I will.

I turned back around and looked at him.
He looked away.

"Enough already...!" I grabbed him by his shirt and dragged him outside to the tree.

"...Owch...!" He squirmed. I let him go. He stumbled and fell.

I stood over him, and looked down.

"What-.."

"...Enough." I said.
I locked eyes with him.

"I don't know what your trying to pull here.
Saving me, Not telling me, then avoiding me like a plague."

"Do you think I'm some child, that you can tell nice things and fill with nice lies?"

"...No I-"

"Stop." I said.

"If you expected undying gradittude, or a thank-you,
your not getting one. You barked up the wrong tree."

He stared, now silent.

"I don't know what you want."

"...I don't know why, you come and talk to someone like me."
" I don't know why you saved me... because I...-!"

He got up, and grabbed me tightly.

"...Enough."

I stood frozen.
My feet became rooted in place.

He leaned his head on my shoulder.

"Do you hear yourself? It sounds like you've given in already."

What...

"I don't know either, to be honest."
"Everything, that's happened here...has thrown me for a loop."

"I-..."

"...When...you hit the water..., the first thing I expected, was for someone to jump in."

....No one did though. Right?

"...No one ran to get help. They all just stared."

"I was seriously starting to think then,...
what the hell is wrong with these people?"

"Next thing I knew, I had dived in."

"If you asked me why I saved you, maybe... it's because I felt it was only right."

"Maybe... it's because I don't know anything."

"All I know is the girl right here in front of me, nothing more."
She may have hissed, scratched at me, and tried to scare me away...

He let go of me and stood back.

"But I won't be fooled." He smiled.

"Your ass is going to be stuck with me for a while."

I felt a tingle.
...Really sly.
