Her mate

Chapter 4: Avoiding him

I walk as fast as i can without running. Looking at the map i my hands i find my first class of the day, math. I get excited, math is one of my favorite subjects. When i walk into the classroom is half full. I find a seat beside a girl that looks friendly enough. 

    "Hi, I'm Julia, mind if i sit here ?" She looks up at me with a worry expression.

    "I would not have sit there is i were you. To sit beside my would be social suicide, especially when you were talking with John Parker earlier." she says. John Parker? so that is his full name. 

    "No worries! I won't be talking with him any more so I won't mind som social suicide." She looks at me with a confused expression now, then nods her head and smile at me. 

    "Suite your self. I'm Angelina by the way. It's nice to meet you!" Suddenly Angelina gets glossed eyes and seem unfocused. It last for maybe five seconds before she turns to me and says. "So, what pack are you from?" Pack? What are she talking about?

    "Pack?" i ask her and her face shows surprise and confusion. 

    "Oh... You know... That's how we ask where you are from here in Bent!" Weird way to ask.

    "Oh, I'm from Philadelphia! Me and my mom just moved here a few weeks ago." Again her eyes glossed over. "Hey, are you ok? Your eyes are glossed and you zoom out all the time."

    "I'm fine! It's just..." At that moment our teacher walk through the door smiling. 

    "Welcome everyone to advanced mathematics, I hope everyone will enjoy this year together. My name..." She was interupted when the doos opened. "Excuse me! We are in the middle of a lecture! Oh, John, I'm sorry what do you want?" Weird, why would it make a different if it were any other student then John?

    "Actually I'm in this class, i just came a bit to late" he states

    "That's fine, just find a seat so we can continue." When John finds a seat one row away from me, the teacher continue. "As i was saying. My name is professor Tomson, and our first subject will be about differentiation." Oh goodie! This is going to be fun!

After class was done i got up and started walking towards the door when a hand grabbed me. 

    "Hey, sorry if we got off on the wrong foot, I really didn't mean to bump into you, and then apparently insult you in some way." I looked up into those beautiful blue eyes of John again. 

    "It wasn't your fault at all. I'm the one that walked into you. But I'm sorry, I really need to get to my next class." I really hope he doesn't have the same class as me. Dear God, pleas don't let him have the same as me so I can get away from him. 

    "Oh, what's you next class?" He asks casually. 

    "eeeeh.." I grab my schedule seeing it's english. "Oh, I have english with professor Jacobs" I see his face fell as i said this. 

    "Oh, I have geography, but they are close together would you mind me walking you to your next class?" s**t, why would he ask me that? I can't just say no either. 

    "Um, sure, why not." We start walking towards my english class when i feel something in the back of my mind. It's just a whisper, but i hear it clear as day. 

I like him, you should try to spend more time with him. A voice in my head says

No, I won't! I shout back at it. Why is there a voice in my mind? Is this place making me crazy? I don't hear anything else from the voice, maybe I was just imagined it.

    "So..." John says "Where are you from?" Where am I from? Why are he asking me questions, when i know he isn't interested in me, but that other girl.

    "Um, I'm from Philadelphia." He gets a confused look and starts walking in the direction of my next class.

    "So, you like math?" He continue. 

    "Yes, I like math, it's one of my favorite subjects actually. I actually took advanced mathematics last year. But i thought that maybe they would focus on other subjects here then they did at home. You know because we are in different states."

     "This is going to sound weird but I have to ask since we are almost at your next class. But would you like to sit with me and my friends at lunch today?" He is right that is a bit weird. Why would he ask the new, geeky girl to sit with him at lunch. I was sure that when i told him about my love for math that he would run in the other direction. Most guys doesn't find that appealing or attractive. 

    "Maybe, we'll se at lunch!" with that we reach my next class and I walk in to my english class. 

Why would John want to spend time with me? According to Angelina he was the most popular guy in school. Maybe his friends challenged him to get me to sit with him at the lunch table so they could make fun of me, well I'm not going to let that happen. So too bad form him, he just lost his bet. 

After english, which was uneventful, I had chemistry another subject i quit enjoy. When lunch finally came around I was starving. I've never bin a person that eats a lot but right now I feel like i could have eaten a horse. When i walk in to the caffeteria I spot John straight away, of course Angelina was right. Right in the senter of what i would assume is the popular table is he, looking all gorgeous. I know he has seen me but I go straight to the lunch line. I really need some food, and I need it now! I can feel him before i see him, why does he have to smell so good? Right then i try to ignore him, which is hard considering his standing right behind me. 

    "Hey, have you thought more about sitting with me?" I turn around and get captivated by his ocean blue eyes. He has this weird effect on me. Suddenly I can hear a purring in the back of my mind. Ok that's weird. 

    "Sorry.." I look around hoping for a good excuse when i spot Angelina. "I promised Angelina in math class that i would sit with her" He gets two wrinkles between his eyebrows. 

    "You did? I didn't hear anything" wait, was he listening at my conversation with Angelina, he must really be desperate to win that bet with his friends. 

    "Yeah, I did, so you should probably get back to your friends and your girlfriend" WHY did I just say that? How stupid can you get. Oh no, he starts smiling knowingly at me. 

    "I don't have a girlfriend." YEAH SURE! If he doesn't have a girlfriend then who was the girl he was looking for. Did i get it all wrong and he was looking for a girl that he didn't have any romantic relations with? But the most important question is still, why would he want to hang out with me?

    "Oh, well I still promised Angelina. Maybe tomorrow?" Why did I add the last part, maybe the voice in my head is right, maybe i should try to get to know him. 

    "Yeah sure! Promise me we will sit together tomorrow."

    "I promise, but then Angelina will sit with you too." He barely get to not before I've paid for my food and are heading over to Angelina for an uneventful lunch
