Zara's POV
" Nate you could go sit near Zara ” I heard the teacher's voice say,I slowly raised my head up and our eyes met.
I had no idea what was going on in his head but mine loudly screamed..
It's the guy with the familiar scent
His eyes never left mine or moved away from me as he sat down beside me.
“ Hi..." I said trying to be nice.
He nodded at me but said nothing,for the first time his eyes left me.
I stared deeply at him lost for a while
why does he feel so familiar?
where do I know you from?
why does this close proximity feel warm?
A lot of thoughts ran through my head as I stared at him,a lot of questions I had no answers to.
“ Zara? ”
“Zara!! " The teacher called my name fiercely
I instantly broke out of my trance and turned to face the teacher.
“ Where were you lost?" Miss Troy asked in an angry tone
“ Probably in the new boy's eyes " Jenna seized the opportunity to mock me.
The whole class bursted into laughter,all except
me,Miss Troy and the boy with a familiar scent we were the only ones who did not find the joke funny.
“ Be quiet you all seize opportunities to make fun of others and laugh like there is laughing gas in the air but no one is wise enough to understand.." Miss Troy stopped halfway.
Miss Troy is the kind of person who likes to give advice and talks about life,its one of the reasons why I adore her but it's also a reason why students mock her.
One man's meat they say is another's poison.
“ Open your textbooks to page 213” Miss Troy carried on with the class,I could tell how much she hated this job and this class.
Nathaniel's POV
I fixed my eyes on her as I sat close to her,I could tell she was feeling uncomfortable. I fought the urge to touch her.
“ Hi...” She said to me,I was quite dumbfounded for a while but I decided to reply silently.
I slowly nodded at her,I was not familiar with people so it was extremely hard to talk to her.
I could barely hear anything but all of a sudden everyone started laughing,I wondered why they started laughing but I decided not to concern myself with it.
The girl of my dreams is sitting beside me I'm one step closer to knowing how she managed to invade my dreams.
I smiled inwardly,at least she was real
“ Open your textbooks to page 213 ” I heard the teacher say.
“ I've not gotten my textbooks can I share with you?” I asked Zara pointing at her textbook
She smiled nicely at me and move her textbook to the middle so I could get a better look at her textbook.
Soon the period was over and it was time for biology,I packed my bag and waited for her to pack hers.
“ What do you want?” She asked surprised
“ I don't know where the laboratory is ” I lied.
“ Oh...let's go then ” she smiled.
This one is real,it's not a dream
Zara's POV
As we walked down the hallway towards the path that led to the biology lab all eyes were on my back,it felt much worse than what I'd feel if I was being stabbed to death with a dagger.
Sayonara my perfect low key life
As soon as we entered the laboratory,I went as far away from him as I could. I knew people had already started gossiping about me but one thing I was not going to do was to give them something huge to talk about even if it was by accident.
I took a seat beside Benjamin the guy I've had a crush on since the third grade. He was the only one who saw me as a friend and not a witch who killed her father.
“ Hey..” Benjamin greeted me.
“ Hi ” I replied shyly.
“ So did you go home first before coming to school ” Benjamin smiled at me
My heart melted away with his beautiful smile,I felt like I was in dimension Ben.
“ No ” I said once I stopped drooling.
“ I'll pick you up with my car once school's over how does that sound?” Ben said bringing out his notes.
“ That'd be lovely ” I smiled from chin to chin.
Benjamin was Uncle Matthew's son so we both knew each other from when we were young.
The biology teacher walked into the class signalling the end to all forms of side talk.
“ Okay so where did we stop last class...” The teacher asked
Time went faster than the ray of light and soon it was lunch time.
For me lunch time was like every other time of the day,I had no friends except from Benjamin and we don't usually hangout that much.
I quietly walked back to my homeroom and did what I do best,stay on my own.
I plugged my air pods into my ears and played some r&b,I was about falling asleep when the door creaked open.
That's weird,no one comes here during lunch.
Nate walked into the class and I heaved a sigh of relief had it been Jenna,my afternoon nickname would have been loner freak or something.
But why is he here?
“Hey” He shyly waved at me
“ Hi " I replied.
“ I thought it was lunch why are you here?” He asked me
“ Same question ” I responded.
“ Why are you here?” I asked again
“ I don't like crowded places ” He smiled
“ Me too ”
“ You must really enjoy your own company ” He said as he came closer to me
“ You could say that I feel it's a lot better than anyone else's”
“ What genre" He asked as he sat beside me
“ r&b” I replied
“ Can I hear it?" He smiled.
I passed him an air pod and we listened in silence to the music.
This feels familiar.
I realized I awfully felt comfortable around him like we were always this close. I let his cologne fill my nostrils and enjoyed how natural he smelt.
The silence felt nice and the music even nicer,I was beginning to feel hypnotized by the tranquility and the music.
“ You feel familiar have we met before in my dreams?” I asked subconsciously.
Suddenly the speakers turned on.
“Good day students this is the dean speaking” The dean said over the speakers.
“ Firstly I'd like to welcome you all from the summer I hope you had quite a wonderful time" The dean continued.
“I have an important announcement to make...”
