 C H A P T E R 3:  With my heart thumping in my chest thinking they maybe some wild animal behind me, I looked towards a calm looking Zolton. All he did was look at me for a moment, before diverting his attention and looking out the window beside us. Perhaps I was imagining it… But that couldn’t be, Esmarie heard it too. Taking caution I quickly looked behind me to see nothing there. Were we losing our minds? shaking my head I allowed myself to calm down and picked up the book to continue reading. I had a free right now, so could idly waste it away. He looked back at me and watched me as I read. I let out a frustrated sigh and looked at him. Did he not have a class to be at? Or I don’t know… bothering someone else? "Zolton, why are you looking at me like that?" I questioned him in a calm manner. All he did was shake his head with a goofy smile on his face. What? "Because you're pretty," he said. His voice sending shivers through my body. In all honesty, his voice was so nice. But forgetting that minor detail, my entire face flushed at his compliment. Pretty? Me? He had to be mistaken. There was nothing pretty about me, sure I wasn’t ugly, but pretty is an overstatement. What was he playing at? Was there something he needed from me which required him to butter me up? I mean all he had to do was demand it and like the easy-going, ‘want to keep the rest of my year quiet person I was I would have given it to him. "So… what do you want?" I asked looking at him in curiosity. All he did was smile at my question. "Go on a date with me," he said. I looked at him like he grew two heads. Did he bump something on his way to the library? “What?” “Go on a date with me.” He repeated.  "Why?" I asked him. "Because I want to take you out, and because I want to get to know you better." he smiled, showing his bright white teeth, his canines perfect it was blinding. Is it possible to have someone as beautiful as him crafted? It made no sense for him to want to go on a date with me. Was this some sort of prank they were cooking up to humiliate me? It couldn’t be, Zolton doesn’t seem like the type to do such meaningless things. "I don't think you should go out with me. After all, I am the schools need and I'm not that attractive and I'm dull and boring." all he did was look angry at my words. "Who told you this?! Who dared to say that about you!" he banged his hand on the library desk. He looked like some over-bearing leader. "Calm down. It's not like it really matters anyway, I really don't care. All I care about is my future." I said to him honestly. then again, that's what I've been aspiring for. “So again, ill have to kindly decline your request.” I smiled. "Let me say this to you and I'll tell you over and over if I have to, you're the most beautiful and the smartest girl I know and don't let anyone tell you otherwise," he said sternly with a hard look in his eyes. His words touched my heart slightly, and I felt like it exploded in my chest and turned into a bunch of flowers. Soon a grin I couldn't control overcame my face. As I lifted the book to cover my face. It made me happy hearing those words from him and honestly, I don't know why. "Sure," I said to him. “Huh?” he looked at me confused and as he c****d his head to the side. "Yes, I'll go on a date with you." I smiled. A broad grin plastered its way on his face and all I could focus on was his warm smile. He looked like the best thing that had happened to him. "I can't wait! I promise you’ll have the best time of your life! I'll pick you up, tonight, at seven." he said in a haste. Chuckling to myself. He stood up looking ready to walk out but calmed down as though realizing something, his face flushing slightly.. “Uh, could you tell me your number and details?” he asked embarrassed taking a seat yet again. “Sure.” I laughed heartily as I gave it to him. “Thanks for accepting, Victoria.” he smiled. "I hope I don't regret making this decision," I said honestly. He nodded at me, and soon sat down and continued to watch me. But this time,... I didn't feel uncomfortable, this time I felt safe. I felt happy. I felt not… alone. The bell then rang indicating it was class time yet again. I closed the book and walked out of the library, With Zolton hot on my heels. Everyone stopped and stared at me. Was there something on my face? Not being able to handle the crowd, I began slowing down, feeling self-conscious, I then allowed my hair to fall like a curtain to cover my face. Soon sparks shot up my arm and I felt a hand intertwine with my mine. I looked towards Zolton as he kept silent. He then bent down and whispered in my ear, getting everyone's attention. "you're beautiful," he whispered making me hold back a moan as I felt my entire body go red in embarrassment. I seriously don't know what is going on with me. Everyone stared, surprised, shocked. Wondering what he had said to get me all flustered. Zolton then pulled me through the crowd, towards my AP English classroom. He then walked in with me, taking a seat. It was really rare for Zolton to attend class, yet he gets the best grades in the school. I fall in second after him. Which honestly sucks. But that's the best I could do. It seems being smart and beautiful was his speciality. Our teacher walked in, Zolton's presence caught the teacher’s attention. And out teacher looked quite surprised. "Mr SMITH! It's good to see you attend class once in a while." he smiled bubbly at the student who seemed to put the teacher at great ease when marking. All Zolton did was look at him as if he had grown to heads, and then pull me closer to him. All the girls in the classroom shot jealous Stares towards me, and some fearful. Why? grabbing onto him, as my I felt as though I was about to fall over by the sudden loss of balance. Steadying myself, I felt his hand fall on my own squeezing it, on my lap. Shifting slightly lifted his hand and moved it to the side, my face overheating. In this moment and time, it felt as though I was becoming an oven. I looked towards Zolton only to see a smirk plastered on his perfect face.
