Enemies to lovers

Chapter 2

We get to school, it hasn't changed much, apart from a couple new posters and the new students of the first grade.

And then I see him! My heart starts pounding ten times faster, my legs get wobbly, my palms start to sweat.

And then, it's all gone, all of a sudden.

" Katherine!" Sarah is trying to get my attention.

"Katherine! What's wrong with you!?"

" Um..ahh, yeah sorry, i was just, um..."

" You were just gazing at the love of your life. I see your feelings for him haven't changed, even after 2 months without seeing him or talking to him."

" Pff, of course I'm over him what are you saying." I feel her gazing at me, because I know I'm a horrible liar, I wouldn't even believe myself.

"Why don't you just tell him how you feel? Or maybe even say hi..." She's told me that a bunch of times, and I always end up saying the same thing, no, or I find some sort of excuse, like we'll be late for class, or that I have to go to the bathroom, but this time I don't say anything, and I think she sees it as an opportunity because she starts pulling me towards him, but before I can pull away we're already there.

" Hey Jake."

"Oh. Hey Sarah, and Katherine! How are you guys?" She nudges her elbow on my arm.

" I-i-i'm good, how was your holiday?" He starts explaining what he did, and I try to listen but I can't. I just zone out looking at him, he most probably went somewhere at the sea, because he has a beautiful tan, his curly black hair got a bit longer, he's wearing a black T-shirt, and dark blue shorts, we can see his strong biceps.

"Kathy! Jake asked you a question!" Sarah hisses at me, I did it again!

" Oops, sorry, still a bit tired,what was your question Jake?"

But before he could repeat himself, someone else jumps in the group and ruins everything.

" Hey Jake, my man! And who's this, what a pleasant surprise!" Matt knows exactly who we are, and he knows I don't like him.

" Well hello Sarah, nice to see you again, wish I could say the same thing about your friend Kitty." I hate when people call me that! And he knows it, and see's that it gets to me, so he smirks and continues.

" It's weird you're here Kitty, aren't you suppose to be knitting a sweater?"

I ignore the knitting part, and say instead " Aren't you suppose to be failing another class?". I see I got to him because his eyes get wider, and I'm happy that Sarah and Jake notice that the tension got higher, they look quickly at each other and understand that they have to separate us. Sarah says bye and pulls me again, but this time towards class.

School finished pretty quickly, same routine as last year. I don't have homework, and I like almost all of my teachers, so that's two thumbs up. I walk home with Sarah, talk about our different classes and teachers, usual stuff and then I'm home.

"Hey sweety, how was school?"

" It was ok, just like any first day."

My father is in his office and my mom in the kitchen looking for a new recipe for tonight. She really likes cooking new things, especially from cooks like Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver. She makes good things but it does happen where she doesn't manage to make the recipe correctly.

" Hey honey." She says without looking up from her book. I explain her my day, leaving out the Matt and Jake part.

The only person that knows about my love life is Sarah, I don't tell my parents for some reason. I think it's because they never asked and I never initiated that sort of conversation. And anyway, I'm so shy there isn't much to say. I've been with one guys when I was 10, and it lasted a week, for me it's because we just decided to try it out because everyone else was in a relationship. Nothing happened, just held hands and one kiss on the cheek. And then there's Jake, that started when I was 13. I liked him from the moment I laid eyes on him, we've been friends and talk a bit every once in a while, but nothing long or important, like today. And, well, I've been too chicken to do anything about it, and I still am.

Anyway, right now I have other things to think about, like finishing my latest project. I have a bunch of ideas of projects that I write on a board, and once I finish one, I scratch it off and start the next one. At this moment I'm doing crochet, I'm pretty good, after practicing a lot and seeing a countless amount of tutorials. I'm currently making all my Christmas presents so I don't have to worry about it anymore, even if we are only in September.

I put music and start crocheting, if that's how you say it, I really wouldn't know.

After an hour my fingers get a cramp so I decide to stop, it's time to prepare the table and lunch boxes anyway.
