Chapter 5
There was nothing serious to tell her. But yet was nervous. I don't know why.
I began, "After the morning confrontation with Zac--"
She said, "Oooh! Hottie's name is Zac. It sounds hot!"
I rolled my eyes and continued, "Yeah, whatever. We had History together. There was no empty seat. So, I sat next to him."
Anna's eyes widened in excitement. I knew exactly what was going on in her mind. But I continued trying to ignore her excitement, "And, Chace threw a ball on my face. But It didn't quite make it to my face. Zac caught it.. But I ended up spilling ink on his face and shirt."
Her eyes showed she had so many questions to ask. But she waited for me to finish. I continued, "Yeah, so I went upto Chace. He apologized. And then Zac dragged me to the girl's washroom."
Keeping her cool for such a long time was a great achievement for Anna. But she couldn't anymore. She screamed in excitement, "Oh my God! Then!?" The guys behind us who were doing their assignment gave her death glares. But it's Anna, she doesn't care. The boys didn't dare to scold her. Because again, it's Anna. She'll not let it go easily. And the boys didn't look like they wanted to mess with her and just continued whatever they were doing. That was when I spotted Zac in the last bench. He was texting someone. How many classes do we have in common? He's in almost all of my classes!
"El! Continue ", spoke Anna impatiently.
So I did," Yeah, then he apologized to me. Told me he didn't mean the dad part. And I forgave him. Then we walked to the auditorium. "
I didn't tell her he said I'm pretty. Because she would make it a big thing. Hoping I had said everything, I looked at Anna. She looked confused.
She asked thinking,"What's Amanda got to do with anything of this?"
Oh shit. I told her everything except what she had actually asked me. Haha.
I told her, "In lunch, after Jason left, Zac saw me sitting alone. So he came and sat next to me. He was sitting with Amanda earlier. Obviously she didn't like it. So, after lunch, she came to my locker and asked me to stay away from him because they have a thing going on. And so I am going to keep my distance. And he told me she's sweet. So.. "
She narrowed her eyes as she spoke,"Amanda and sweet? What the hell is wrong with that guy?"
"Well he said sweet but annoying ", I told her hoping that I hadn't sounded defensive.
She laughed softly." So now you're defending. "
" No! I just told you what he told me. "
She nodded and looked at Mrs. Spark who was now distributing the worksheets which we had to do.
The class went by. The worksheet was pretty easy. I ended up teaching Anna genetic cycle after we submitted the worksheet. Then the class was over. Mrs. Spark came upto the bench we were sitting in, "Miss Anna Collins, we need to have a little chit chat." She was serious like always. Then she looked at me, "You may leave, Miss Westbrook."
I picked my bag and told Anna that I'll be near my locker. Then I went out of class all the time wondering what Mrs. Spark wanted to tell Anna. She hasn't been doing well in science. I hope everything is fine.
I was so busy with my thoughts when suddenly someone patted my back from behind. The pat was hard and unfriendly, I could make out it wasn't a girl. I wonder who it is. I turned to see and I saw the expected.
Zac.
He looked at me and said, "How are you in all of my classes?"
I smiled and answered, "Well , we have 6 classes. Out of which we have 3 in common. That isn't all."
He asked, "What are your other classes?"
I thought and told him, "I have Swim class, Spanish and Advanced Math. You?"
He looked disappointed but covered it up as soon as I looked at him. He spoke, "I have Swim class too. But French and Basic Math"
"So that makes four classes together" he told thoughtfully.
I nodded. Now I have Advanced Math with Mia and Camila. So I smiled at him again. Then Amanda suddenly hit my head. I'm supposed to stay away from him. I turned and started walking. It was rude but I don't want anything to do with Amanda. I could feel him staring at me from behind. But I didn't look back.
I turned right in the next corridor. So, he couldn't stare at me anymore. I went into the class. I sat next to Camila. She's a bit quiet. Not as quiet as Rachel. But quiet.
I'm really good at Math. But the classes are boring. There are no "COOL GUYS". It's a nerdy class. Not that I have a problem. Many call me a nerd just because I get great marks. I don't really care anymore.
Let's fast forward the class, shall we?
We had a surprise test. Which was surprisingly hard. Not that hard. I'll get a B.
So, now it's time to go home.
Finally!
I collect my things from my locker and go to the parking lot with Camila. Camila and I stay close by, so we go home together.
We walked to her car which was on the other side of the parking lot. I see Zac and Amanda on my way, but manage to ignore them. He looks puzzled for a second, then recovers and continues talking to her. I get into Cam's car and we leave the parking lot. On the way out, we see Val and Rachel and wave goodbye.
The drive from school to home is around 20 minutes. Cam dropped me at my house. She didn't come in like she always does, she said she's tired. I didn't force her because she really looked tired.
I go straight to my room and change into my daily wear,which is shorts and T-back. I take a short nap and wake up.
TIME TO STUDY.
Before studying, I log in to my Facebook account. I haven't done that in a while now. As soon as I log in, my phone almost jumps off my hand with 121 notifications, 11 messages and 4 friend requests. I didn't bother to check notifications, it's usually from that useless school group they've made. I see friend requests, and find
ZAC.
I smiled. He looked hot in his profile picture. I accept it. Being the stalker I am, I click on his profile. His pictures have a minimum of 300 likes for every photo. And around 50 comments. He doesn't reply to any of them. Except one. It was a girl Tessie Jones. The comments are with hearts and all. She's the only person to whom he has replied. In not just one, in all. I feel the sudden urge to comment something to see if he replies. But nope. I rarely comment on pictures. Not happening. I click on Tessie Jones' profile. She is totally private. Not even one photo is public. I can't see them. Except her cover picture of course. Which is a photo of her dog. With 102 likes. Whatever.
I was about to log out, and I receive a message from Zac.
"Hey. Done Stalking? :P"
What? He can't know that.
"You wish."
He sees the message instantly. And reply is instant as well. I like people who reply fast. Not again. Did I just indirectly say I like Zac. Again?
"Haha. You're cute."
I feel a blush on my cheek.
"Very funny", I reply.
He didn't see the message instantly. I can't help but think of him and Tessie Jones chatting. I wasn't thinking for long. He saw the message, and now he's typing.
"Whatever. I heard Amanda and you had a little confrontation in the morning."
So he does know about it.
"Yeah. I guess. If that what you'd like to call it." I reply.
"So that's the reason you were all weird the whole day? ", his reply is instant.
" I'm not scared of her. I just don't want her to bother me. ", I tell him.
"I understand. But don't worry, it won't happen again. ;)"
He sent me a winky smilie. I think about what to reply and I hear a doorbell. I log out and go downstairs.
I opened the door.
"Hey! What's up?", said a face with a gentle smile.
It's Valerie.
"Hey. Val, come on in."
She sits on the couch. And I offer her some chocolates. She takes them and sighs.
"Dude, I don't know what to do. ", she says thinking deeply.
I sit on the chair near the couch,"About?"
She looks at me, "Jason."
