The School Misfit

~3~

We heard the door knob and that snapped us out of the trance we'd put ourselves in.

She walked in and Godiva was so fast in turning on his heel that she noticed nothing.

She didn't even realize I was in the room because Godiva's big frame covered me completely. When he did step out of the way, she noticed me.

"Oh, hi Ruby" she said. She knows my name? I guess I'm not exactly as invisible and non-existent as I thought. Even she knows my name. Well she is in the choir too and her voice is Beautiful.

"What are you doing here?" she asked again, obviously waiting for some sort of reply while I'm searching my brain for something to say.

"Ferica, hi". I finally managed to say as I kept racking my head. She just stared at me with the only thing she shares in common with her twin brother-the eyes-and a smile on her face. She really is beautiful. Why couldn't I be like her. As beautiful as she is, she obviously isn't as stuck up as the rest of her acquaintances in the popular crew. I say Acquaintances because they all obviously aren't close.

"Uh, I just came here to unwind is all" My mouth finally let's out so I figured my brain was back to being functional.

"Oh that's cool. Don't you seniors always have a million classes and never any free time except recess?" she asked.

"We do have a few free periods but then everyone else is busy. We're not all work and no play you know." I replied her with a sincere smile on my face.

"But you definitely are". Godiva deadpans. I tried not to look at him so I don't lose my senses again. He apparently realized I was trying to ignore him so he started walking towards us and stopped next to his sister and glares daggers at me. I thought he didn't even know I exist but turns out he might actually hate me. Just my luck. His glare giving me goose pimples makes me search my brain for something to say.

"I really love music too. I'm not just all about books." I finally answered which turns his glare into a look which I couldn't exactly decipher.

"I know that. So does Mr. Ji." He calmly said putting emphasis on Mr. Ji obviously trying to remind me of our earlier *agreement*. Okay, so I didn't exactly willingly give my consent but he drives a hard bargain. How could I resist? Even if his presence didn't really turn me into a practical i***t, I obviously wouldn't snitch on him. I'm not that kind of person.

Ferica looked between us with a questioning look trying to understand what's going on while I'm not so sure what my face looked like.

Ring ring ring. The bell goes off and for the first time ever, I was happy to leave school.

"See you guys later then" I said while trying to hide the relief in my voice. I smiled at them and started to walk towards the door. And with one last wave at both of them, I quickly turned the door knob and ran out of room not making sure to close the door; just glad I got out of there without dying.

I quickly rushed down the stairs of the building where the music room and all the other labs are and made my way to my locker which is in the building that holds the classes. I grabbed the books I needed, stuffed them into my bag and I started making my way down another flight of stairs. These stairs are the ones of the building holding the classes. Pissy school and all the stupid stairs.

I made it out of the school breathing hard but still relieved. Yay!

I thought that was the last time I'd ever run into Godiva again.

Until Today.

*****************************

First time in my life I'm late for choir rehearsals and I'm supposed to be taking lead. Great; Mr. Ji will end me-I thought to myself-I finally made it to the music room and burst through the door only to find the same beautifully sexy Adonis that makes my heart skip beats playing the saxophone. His eyes were closed so he was probably really into the music. He was the only one there though and I started to wonder why. I think that's the reason I hadn't started losing it yet. He was obviously learning that song because at a point, he played a wrong note.

"Shit." He swore out of frustration and then he saw me.

"Guess you didn't get the info. Those good-for-nothing juniors." He cursed under his breath while looking at me like I'm magically supposed to understand him-He's also probably mad that I saw him mess up. To the whole school, Godiva never messes up- I'd like to believe the look on my face gives it away that I don't understand because he started to talk again.

"Mr. Ji told me he wouldn't be coming today and I sent those juniors to tell everyone. Looks like they missed one person." He explained further.

"Well I am practically invisible." I blurt without thinking. And his reaction?

Absolutely priceless!
