HALLUCINATED

ANEW

My eyes opened to the same face I’d been dreading all these years.

“Aaron!” the words left me without my knowledge and by the time I gained conscious, he had already made his move.

We were too close to each other, so much so that I could hear the thumping of his heart and our faces just inches apart that I could feel his breath on my face. I was back where I had started from. Him.

SEVEN YEARS AGO

It was my first year at high school. Palmers Green High School, London was everything a 21st century student could think of. It was everything I could think of. Well, my first day of my first year in high school.

I walked past the gates in a rush cause I thought maybe I wouldn’t make it in time for my first class. When I reached the class, the teacher was already there. Seemed like she just walked in. As soon as I stepped in the room the bell rang.

“Someone made it just in time.” The teacher spoke. Great! It wasn’t that bad. My teacher seemed to be cool about me being late. A few seconds late. I smiled and moved to look for a vacant seat. I found my seat beside a blond girl. And darn! I was jealous of her already! She was pretty. With long locks of blond and blue eyes.

“Hi, I'm Ginny. Actually, Ginny Rush.”

“Hi. Ivory Hale. I prefer Ivy though.”My tone was her mimic. We both laughed at our conversation. It was so easy to talk to her.

I had a friend when I was younger. We were very close. She was the only one whom I could call a real friend. But last year she moved to Whales. And we never got to talk again. After her being gone, I knew I was gonna end up alone at the high school. But guess I was never afraid of making new friends. And who knows Ginny could be my first friend here.

The day rushed by in a haze. So far it was awesome. Me and Ginny had most of the classes together except gym and English. We spent all the time together and it was a good thing knowing her. She was bold yet soft at the same time. She was nice.

It was not until lunch break that I realized what I was getting myself into. Yet, I tried to play it off. That’s right! I take the blame. As we walked into the canteen Ginny pulled my hand and walked across the room to a corner table and grabbed a chair for herself. She seemed too excited.

For the next few minutes she kept on talking about stuff like brands of accessories, her amazing dressing sense and etcetera etcetera, and I just kept looking down at my plate and smiling and nodding my head in response. But despite my actions she knew I was enjoying listening to her. And I actually was. Only when I knew I was happy, Ginny gasped and my head went up to look at her. I was worried. Worried for nothing. The look on her face…….well, that meant that she just might’ve seen some amazing outfit. But I guess what she saw….

“Jesus! You still send Gods on earth!” she whisper – screamed.

My head jolted back and suddenly turned a near 360 degree to see who the ‘god’ was here. A tall guy, about 5’9’’ maybe, with his two handsomely handsome looking friends had just occupied the table behind ours. Suddenly a flash of emerald green looked my way and I was forced to remove my gaze from the Greek God. There! Ginny was right.

“Checking out, huh?” Ginny spoke with her brow raised at me.

Ginny was sitting right opposite to me and she had the perfect view of that guy. I was jealous of her. But apparently she was more interested in one of the either guys with the emerald eyed one.

“Oh my God! He’s looking our way”

“who?” I almost jumped. I was suddenly so conscious of my every move.

“The one you were checking out.” She squealed

I personally think that the way she put it is inappropriate. Its really not that I was checking that guy out. More like, I was admiring his male beauty.

Woah! That came out as a very cliché statement.

The rest of the day went by with me and Ginny discussing about those guys. Though, I must say Ginny is kind of very quick to act. She already found out that guy’s name the one she was drooling over during lunch. He was Justin.

Even though my insides were pulling at me to ask her to stalk the emerald eyed one too, but somehow my mind wanted to go its own way. I somehow came to a conclusion to let things go the way they are and to go with the flow.
