Chapter III

Haley

******

It was just like any other day at school when the arrival of a new male student spread like wildfire all over school. Rumor had it he was very handsome.

I really wanted to see him when the news got to me through Maze, also a friend of mine but not as close as me and Macy, because I wanted to give off a good impression of myself well let's say because he is handsome Well lucky for me I got a front row seat at that. We bumped into each other in the hallway on my way to class which got my books flying to the ground. He then immediately leaned downwards to help with my books on the floor after apologising then stood right up after packing them. Our eyes meet, making me awkwardly freeze at the sight of his well sculpted face and his cloud gray eyes looking into mine . This was love at first sight .

Painfully he didn't feel the same about the situation. Days later I was informed of his new girlfriend Maze, yeah, it did hurt and I had it difficult trying to stop thinking about him all day and I can't be sure if I have already gotten over him or not.

Maze accompanies Klaus as they both walk towards our direction holding hands as they giggle to whatever they are talking about.

" Hey, guys " Maze greets cheerfully as she pulls the chair beside Macy to seat .

" Hey , you look happy today what's the occasion ?" Macy replies.

" Halley is back, now we can be together again. Isn't that enough reason to be happy?"

" Hey " Klaus seats beside me.

" Hey " Now I feel uneasy and nervous. I have never been this close to him since the first time we met when we bumped into each other. I am heartbroken by the fact that this wasn't on a better circumstances one which I can be glad of being this close to him and feel his wonderful colonge as I am right now. If I had a list containing things I want and can't have, he will be third on the list.

" Halley , now that you are back, you should come with us to the party"

" What party " I ask Maze .

" Macy you haven't told her about the party yet ? " She ask Macy .

" At Daisy's on Friday " Macy notifies me.

" Sorry guys I don't think I can come " . After all that has happened to me so far I don't think attending a a party would be helpful right now.

" Why ? " Maze ask

" Cuz I don't feel like it "

" What ? . Haley come on you have to " she tries to persuade me .

" I think we should respect her decision on this, she's been out for a month now. Let's leave her out of it for now till she feels like it. " Macy supports my decision fully aware of what's going on.

" Klaus say something" Maze yells .

" What? " He ask as if he was pulled from a trance by Maze's voice .

" Where is your mind at? " she ask him .

" Sorry . What is it . He apologized .

" Halley doesn't want to come with us to the party , please tell it's a bad idea" She demands from him.

" It's your call if you don't feel like it we'll respect what ever decisions you make but it would nice if you could come with us" .

I hesitate, our eyes staring at each other. Should I still remain obstante about my decision of not going , after all he said they will respect my decision but I just can't knowing he wants me to go. Does he?. " Fine I'll go" only because Klaus would that .

" Yea! " Maze applauds in delight. " You made the right choice Halley " . Hope I did . " Let's go Klaus " she pulls back to stand up .

" Where are you going ?" Macy ask her. Klaus immediately stands up and walks towards her. All I could do was watch him.

" To see Daisy, " she answered.

" Bye " I say . Klaus being my target audience both he didn't say a word.

" See yah " Maze and Klaus leave together leaving Macy and I

The remaining hours of school went by in a blur and uneventful. Students packed outside as the school came to a close saying goodbyes to friends as they left for their home probably . I could take a bus but I'd rather I walk home. Hope I still remember the shortcut I take home.

After a quiet and peaceful walk I finally get home.

" How was school today mokey " my mum in the living room ask .

" Fine, you are home early? " I answer heading to the stairs.

" Yeah, " she replies, sitting in front of the TV.

I climb on the stairs hastily heading to my room. I flew my bag off my shoulder into my bed.

After a quick shower I lie flat facing the ceiling meditating on everything that has happened so far today.

I can't help myself but think of what to do about my feelings for him, Klaus. Maybe if I had been the first to approach him and tell him how I feel I won't be in this situation I am now. I have a crush on my best friend's boyfriend, how messed up is that .

I seat up hugging my knees. My eyes sight the family photo I have on my night stand. I need to move on, I can't keep dwelling on the past when I still have the the present and future to think of, I have to accept it the way it is. It was an heart attack nothing else, my mum wouldn't lie to me about the death of my father she has I no reason to so why bother. I tell myself still staring at the photo.

I can't lie about the fact that the death of my father caused a change in my life.
