I’m going to be late. I ran to my first class,
and made it just before the last bell. There was Zayley, sitting,
waiting for me.
“ Just made it! So spill the beans!
What’s up with that Kierce guy?” She seemed way too excited to hear
about him.
“ Well, he’s…. nice” I don’t think I
can even start to describe how I really feel about him. Even Zayley
would find it way too strange.
“ Nice? That’s all you’re giving me?”
She asked.
“ Well, nice, and, interesting” If
interesting even came close to what he is. He’s more than that,
he’s almost, perfect, in every aspect I can put my mind
to.
Class flew by, and soon enough, it was physics class.
It was my biggest fear. I couldn’t bear sit next to him today. I
felt such an urge to do something, anything, but just watch him. I
sat in my seat, and waited, dreading for him to come in. He came in
with more life in his eyes than before. The orange in his eyes now
was golden with bright green in the back. His hair, blonder than
brown. I didn’t notice those details this morning. Maybe I was just
too focused on the feeling I get around him. As he sat down, I got
a sudden headache. That’s weird. Since when did I get headaches
like this?
“ Hello again my love” He said,
nodding at me, like he was trying to give me a clue.
“ Hey, you look different” I said. I
was kind of bothered by how much more beautiful he got.
“ Oh, yes well, that’s strange, I
don’t feel any different than any other day” he said, smiling,
making me seem like I’m nuts.
“ Ok class, hopefully you were all
paying attention yesterday in class, because we’re having a pop
quiz. Please take everything off your desks, and sit tight”
Professor Jane said. She never fails to surprise anyone with her
pop quizzes. It has only been a few months into school, and we’ve
had more quizzes then we have even learned in this
class.
“ Pop quiz? So soon?” Kierce
asked.
“ Yeah, she’s kind of known for
giving them out” I said, not knowing what to say. I was still
trying to get glimpses of his eyes. They’re gotten so brighter, and
almost glaring of the shiny tan science table.
Even though I wasn’t in school yesterday, the quiz
was no problem for me. I knew far more than what we have been
learning. Kierce didn’t seem like he had an issue either. After the
quiz, we were free to go, so I headed to lunch early. I hate
getting the last end of the food. As I stood up, so did Kierce.
“ Will you do me the honor of walking
with me to lunch?” He asked.
“ Uhh, sure. I don’t see why not.”
Like I had a chance. I don’t even think I could deny him. Not after
we spent all that time yesterday.
“ Vessa, Zayley, I’ll catch up with
you guys later”. I said. Though they looked at me with hate because
they were still stuck there taking the quiz.
“ Sorry.” I whispered.
Kierce and I walked to the lunch room, silent, yet my
mind was not. I still had the horrible headache that just didn’t
seem like it wanted to go away, and I think he noticed.
“ Are you okay my love?” he asked. So
gentle yet so fierce. He almost seemed worried and satisfied at the
same time. I didn’t understand the mixed feelings I kept getting. I
wanted to tear into his shirt once again and sink into his skin,
yet I wanted to tear him apart just as much.
“ I’m fine, just… a slight headache,
that’s all” I answered. Seeing his smile never quiet faded. We got
our lunch and sat down to eat. Again, he didn’t touch it. He didn’t
even seem interested. I on the other hand was starving since I
missed breakfast this morning.
“ I was hoping you would do the honor
of walking with me again this afternoon.” He stated more then
asked.
“ Yes, that would be nice. Hopefully
no nose bleeds this time.” I tried to joke, but he didn’t seem like
he enjoyed it. He just kept a constant smile on his face. I felt
like he was content with whatever was happening in his head. It
seems like he
