🍁"I Believe In Using Songs To Say Things"🍁

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bryce's P.O.V.

Parking my car at the usual spot, I threw my bag over my shoulder as I climbed down the car. Adjusting my hoodie and giving a glare to Kyler's bike already standing next to my car, I made my way inside the school. He didn't change his parking spot yet. I walked inside the school premises and made my way to my locker. My headphones plugged inside my ears were taking me to a different world in this very fine morning. I don't want to listen to anyone.

Music is in my blood. It takes me to another world without even teleporting. All I've to do is concentrate on the music and forget about the rest of the world. It gives me such blissful solitude that I can't even explain. It makes me happy and alive. Whenever my mood is ruined, it lifts it up somehow.

"I love it when you call me Senorita", I was singing on my own making sure not to gain a crowd. I couldn't help but get inflow with the lyrics. I could feel my head moving to and fro, my legs doing a little dance. As if my reflexes were not in my control. I was controlled by the music.

"I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya but every touch is-", I was busy singing when I saw a pair of eyes and a smug smile giving me all the unwanted attention. As soon as our eyes met, Brian Calvin grinned. I took off my earphones and closed the song by tapping on the pause button. I left a deep sigh.

Great. Now he'll talk. Who wants to listen to a random guy when they've amazing singers to listen to?

"Hey girlfriend", he said walking towards me. He stood holding the door of my locker. I appreciated how he towered over the door and blocked the view behind him. He's so tall and handsome.

Shut-up, I told him in mind.

"Don't call me that", I said whilst arranging already arranged things in my locker to avoid looking at him. I need to show myself busy.

"Then should I call you Senorita?", He mocked. I glared at him. A goofy smile was playing on his lips. He was enjoying messing with me but I'm not gonna entertain him.

"I've a name", I said.

"And I sadly don't know your name, senorita", he said.

You don't need to, loser!!

"Bryce Decker", I replied and he nodded with a genuine smile.

"It's nice to meet you, Bryce. I'm Brian Calvin", he said as he forwarded his hand towards me. I saw he had worn a cap which says, "Sexy". A major part of the cap and few loose strands of hairs were managing to hide his eyes. I've seen his eyes in the picture Kimberly showed me yesterday but seeing those eyes in reality will be a different experience. He also had worn a hoodie just like me.

I hate it when I couldn't see people's eyes because then I couldn't tell what's going on inside their head. I couldn't appreciate genuineness in his words because I can't see his eyes.

"Let's not talk", I said and ignoring his hand which was forwarded towards me, I shut my locker. With a last glance at his footwears, I turned around to walk away. My steps were suddenly halted by a pull from behind. Brian holds me by arm and turns me around. My anger was on cloud nine.

How dare he?

"Are you mad at me?", He asked.

"I don't even know you to be mad at you in the first place. We're strangers. Bugger off", I said trying to free my hand from his grip. He rolled his tongue around his cheeks and then pouted.

"I wanna know you. Do you want to have coffee with me?", He asked.

Doesn't he understand English?

"No", I said and I pulled my hand away from his hold.

"Please", he said. His five feet nine inches tall self did intimidate me a bit but I know how to mask my emotions. I've been doing that since my parents divorced and don't give a damn about me. I've always been fine and I'm always gonna be fine. Even if I've no one, I've me myself for me.

"Just leave", I said and giving him a glare, I walked away. I wanted to show him my middle finger but I don't want to have any sort of relationship with him. Neither friends nor foes. My mind is already messed up.

On top as a cheery, I've my English class in the first period today which can mean only one thing. Seeing Kyler and Kimberly at the start of the day only. How excited I'm! Someone just note the sarcasm. Interaction with both of them means I have to listen to their stupid talks. My head is already hurting.

As soon as I walked inside the classroom whilst watching my footwears and counting my steps, I stopped at the entrance. I decided to look up and scan around myself. A chocolate brown pair of eyes hold my gaze and his smile just annoyed me at the same time. There he was sitting alone with a seat vacant to him. He waved his hand at me. I ignored it. Holding sleeves of my sweatshirt, I resumed my scanning process in the hope of looking for another vacant seat. Luckily I found one and that was with a girl on the first bench. Great. I'm lucky today.

With a smile of satisfaction, I walked towards that direction but a strong pull from behind stopped me after exactly ten seconds. I was pulled back along with my bag. My eyes widened in surprise.

"Stop there missy. Today, you're sitting with your original partner", Kyler's statement caught my attention and with this much said, he dragged me to his seat.

"Leave my bag", I said and he obliged only when we're standing in front of the desk. I looked back at him but his white shirt greeted me, so I looked up into his eyes.

"I don't want to sit with you", I replied.

"I'm not asking you. I'm telling you", he said and in another moment, he pulled the straps of my bag off my shoulder, turn me around and takes my bag off my body to his hold.

"Hey", I complained but he just smiled satisfactorily. Holding my bag, he sat down and with a frown, I sat next to him.

I met two annoying boys already at the start of the day. Today is a bad day. I'm already tired of this much human interaction.

"Where will Kimberly sit?", I asked.

"On my head", he said giving me an eye roll and I shook my head.

"If your head is that big why does it lack brain?", I whispered to myself.

"Did you say something?", He asked.

"No", I said and snatch my bag from his hold. I adjusted my hoodie to give him a hint of stop talking to me.

I took out a textbook along with my notebook to take notes. Kyler and I haven't figured out what role to give to Kimberly because we're working on a project, "How to save money and keeping our expenses in the limit?". Since he and I are couples, I guess we can give the role of our family member to Kimberly. I've not talked about it to him but I should. Even though I know for the fact that Kyler can never ever be a help, he's one stupid guy still I've to keep the team spirit alive somehow.

I felt my textbook being pulled away. I immediately placed my both hands and slapped Kyler's hand away from my book. I passed him a glare.

"I forgot my book. Share it with me", he said.

"I don't want to", I said.

"Please", he said.

"No. You should have packed your bag", I said and kept my book in my lap.

"You're not being a good partner. Do you know that?", He asked softly.

"Thanks for informing. I heard ya", I said and then he didn't say anything. He stayed silent. I looked at his side. He was asking someone else for one book.

"Hey. Can you give me one book?", He asked at the students sitting next to our bench.

"Why? Is your partner not sharing it with you?", One of the girls asked.

"No. She's not helpful at all. She's mean and rude. But you're one beautiful and generous girl. Please help me", he said and I huffed.

What does he mean that I'm mean, huh? He's the one who is irresponsible. Why are you coming to school if you don't have your books even? Such a mannerless guy.

"Ok. But what will I get in return?", The girl asked and I looked up from my textbook to see her face. Is she for real? How can she be so easily flattered by this guy?

"If you like coffee then I'll treat you", he said and I scoffed.

People are unbelievable!!

This is called socialising which ain't your cup of tea, just so you know, my inner self said.

Go away!!

"Deal", she said as she passed her textbook to Kyler. I rolled my eyes. Kimberly walked inside the classroom and I caught her staring at me. She walked towards our seat and left a deep sigh. She looked mad and pissed and I know the reason. She doesn't deserve our cold shoulder and ignorance because she's new. But I can't just be friends with her, I'm Bryce. Kyler is rude to her on other hand, he's a jerk.

"Can you two guys make your mind and tell me whether you want to help me or not? You still haven't told me anything about the project", she said.

"No. We don't want to. Happy?", Kyler spoke before me. She huffed.

"As expected a trash cane can speak shit only", she said and I saw Kyler rolling his eyes.

"I'm sorry", I said and she just nodded.

"I have no issues from you. You're already dealing with a problem. I feel sorry for ya", Kimberly said as she looked at Kyler with a smirk.

"Whom are you calling problem?", He asked. I bite back my laugh.

You, I thought!!

"Intelligent people needs a signal but whom am I kidding? You're not even an 'I' of Intelligent", she said and this time I couldn't help but smile. I love her.

"You talk more for your own good. Learn to shut up", Kyler said.

"Ok. Dictator", she replied and he huffed.

"Annoying girl", he muttered under his breath.

"Take my number. I'll tell you the details about the project", I said looking at Kimberly and she smiled. She took out her mobile and passed it to me. I added my number.

"I'll call ya", saying so, she left. I simply nodded.

"You didn't give your number to me this easily. You didn't even say sorry to me", Kyler said as soon as Kimberly walked away to sit on another side of row at a vacant seat.

"I don't want to explain to you", I replied.

"You don't like me touching you. I've never seen you speaking to any guy also but you're being sweet and open to this girl. I guess I know the reason", he said. I didn't even care to ask him what is the reason because I know he'll tell me himself.

He's a talking torrento!!

"Are you into girls?", He asked with wide eyes and I scoffed.

"No, but wait. You've a boyfriend. That cafe guy is your boyfriend. You've a crush on my cousin, so you can't be just into girls. Are you bisexual?", He asked again and I felt this sudden urge to flick him on his forehead.

"Shutup. Why are you so concerned about my likings? Get a life", I said.

"Because I wanna know you, Bryce Bear", he said and I looked at him. He was giving me his genuine smile. Our eyes met each other and I felt the change in the air around me all of a sudden. I wanted to take my eyes off his chocolate brown gaze but I couldn't. I saw him staring into my eyes as if he wants to say something, ask something but his lips were sealed. I didn't look away, nor did he. As if we're in a sort of competition to see who breaks the contact first and none of us wants to lose the game.

The classroom door opened and I came back to reality. I looked away and saw our professor entering inside. I give a quick glance at Kyler's side. He was smiling or I can say he was grinning whilst opening his book. Why is he so happy? Why was I having eye contact with him before? What's wrong with me? He's becoming more and more impossible to ignore.

Oh my God!!

The class ended peacefully and as soon as I stepped out of the classroom, my mobile rang. I took it out from my jeans pocket and saw Timber calling me. A smile made its way on my lips. He has gone to meet his parents for more than a week and saying I missed him at work will be an understatement.

"Oh, your boyfriend is calling you", I heard Kyler's voice behind me. I saw him towering over me from my back and peeking on my mobile screen.

"None of your business", I said and tapped the green button.

"Hello", I said as I stood taking the support of the wall behind me. Kyler didn't leave and stood next to me as he scrolled his mobile screen. Why is he so clingy?

"Hey, my Bryce mice. How are you?", Tim asked.

"I'm good. Did you come back?", I asked.

"Yes. Did you miss me?", He asked.

"I do miss you, a lot", I said.

"And Melissa?", He asked and I sighed. He loves her way too much for his own good.

"Ask her yourself", I replied.

"Ok then. I'll see you at the cafe today. I bought a gift for you as your birthday present in advance", he said catching me off guard.

"You remember my birthday. Aww, you're so sweet", I said as I started walking to my locker to get some stuff. I don't want to be late for my next class.

"I am a gentleman after all. Ok. Now gotta go. Bye", he said.

"Ok. Bye", I said and hung up with a smile stuck to my face. It's good to have someone close to you. Sadly, I don't have friends of my age in my school but some friends like work colleagues who are kind enough to accept a socially awkward girl in their world. Melissa and Timber are good people.

"When is your birthday?", I almost jumped out of shock when Kyler out of nowhere appeared in front of me.

"Were you following me?", I asked placing a hand over my heart.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you", he smiled sheepishly and then said, "I was standing next to you. You're so busy talking to your boyfriend that you left me all by myself over there so I've to follow you".

"Why were you standing with me in the first place, Mr. Grace?", I asked.

"Are we still not on the first-name basis?", He frowned.

"Get a life. Stay away", I said.

"We're project partners. I can't stay away. Tell me when is your birthday?", He asked.

"I said Go away", I responded but he didn't listen. He stood by my locker's side.

"Answer me and I'll leave", He said shoving his hands in his jeans pocket.

"Is there any problem?", A new voice caught my attention. Brian was standing behind Kyler next to his locker.

"We're talking dude. Leave", Kyler spoke before me.

"Is he troubling you, Senorita?", Brian asked and I looked at him in disbelief.

"My name is Bryce", I responded looking at Brian.

"Leave Mr. Grace. I've no mood of entertaining you", I said looking at Kyler and then I glanced at Brian and said, "I'm old enough to handle my issues. Thanks". With this much said so, I closed my locker and walked away to my next class.

"This Introvert is hard to talk to", I heard Kyler said.

"I second that", Brian's words followed later. I just left out a sigh.

This guy Kyler Grace is a trouble!!
