Chapter 3 SEEN AGAIN

"Justin, the teacher calls for you" Alexander Moore, a student in my year calls my attention, where I am seated at my table by the window side, which is where I like it. "Alright. Which one?" I question Alex,

"homeroom" he gave a brief reply, "where is he?" I asked again, but this time I think I pieced off Alex, because he's giving me cold stares right now, like seriously I can feel the chills on my fingertips.

"You just wanna put words into my mouth, isn't it?" Alec became sarcastic

"Yeah, I wanna... learn to give people more information okay" I advised Alex as I tapped him and darted from his sight.

Alexander Moore, is the class rep. Not to brag but, he's the a really good student, second to none, but me. Initially, I was given the position of class rep, but with my wimpy attitude, who do you thinks is gonna adhere to me. With that thought in mind, I declined and then, they laned it on the second-best student which is him.

Since then, which was at the beginning of senior year's first semester, Alex has been pretty hostile towards me, we used to be somewhat close during our freshmen year down to our junior year, but now... I guess he sees me as some kind of rival, and that when he developed this new character of giving shorts replies, but to me only.

But I like him though, he's a cool kid with an attractive appearance, you know one of those guys with really dark straight hair, sharp black eyes, red lips, tan skin color and a strong build, those ones that usually appear homeless but are actually the masters of the game.

I chuckle as I realized I was just thinking about Alex of all people, that dude that always look like he's gonna rip my head off the next chance he gets, which is why I ran from him earlier.

Soon enough, I got to the teachers' office, and the moment I entered, Mr. Freeman bellowed my name "JUSTIN! over here" like as he was eagerly waiting for my arrival, and it intrigued me, I wanted to know how important the task he wanted to give me was, but more importantly, he just pieced me off, because that shout just drew everyone's attention to me, it like an all eyes on me welcome party in here now, and for heaven's, sake I hate it when people yell at me or yell out my name.

"Justin, thank God you're here" Mr. Freeman sigh as I made my way to his desk, "Hi Mr. Freeman, you called for me?" I asked

"Yeah, I need you to work on something with Alex, it would have been so much easier if you just agreed to be part of the student council" He complains

"What is that 'something' you want me to do with Alex" I asked him. Ignoring his little childish complain,

On hearing my question, he gives me an ironic stare, but I remove my eyes from his gaze, I'm pretty sure, his thinking "did this kid just ignore me right now".

Mr. Freeman, is a 42 years old man, who looks like he could be around 20. His has this young look that is characterized by downturned blue eyes, full eyebrows, a high-bridge straight nose and full red lips all uniquely positioned on his v-shaped face. He's tall with a height of 6'3, white skin and he's I just love he's dressing sense. For a man his age who looks this fascinating, he should have gotten a girlfriend, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend. No matter how I look at it, it just doesn't sound right.

"Justin!" my chain of thought was broken as Mr. Freeman called me again, with a frown on his face, he must have notice I'm in a daze, just staring blankly at his face

"huh!... yeah" I shudder,

"Why is your mind always drifting Justin" he became frustrated "I'm trying to talk to you, but your making it so hard you know" Mr. Freeman lamented. I felt a little guilty about how I behaved and I didn't like the way he sounded.

I'm everything, but a bad guy, at least at day-time. "I'm sorry sir" I made sure I sounded as apologetic as I could, an of course, Mr. Freeman looks very satisfied. By the way, it was his gorgeous face that got me hooked in the first place,

"Wait! Why was my headed clouded with how handsome Nicholas Freeman is? It was the same for Alex too"

"You are gonna be working with Alex on compiling your mates..." Immediately I heard Alex name added to his statement, I knew this want gonna be an easy one, because Alexander Moore. Decided senior year of high school was the best time for him to become some kind of judgmental sulky price, of all Years.

I roll my eyes, my mind rapidly drifting away from the instruction Freeman is giving me, As the roam around the entire teacher's office of 37 teacher's each, all crammed up like sardines in a tin can, I know My school's a public school but, they sure as hell didn't try with the spacing in classrooms and offices; this office is one of them, and sadly, my classroom wasn't exempted.

While I checked out the dog house of an office, my eyes fell on a girl who has long straight brown hair, she dresses like all this wild girls, black nails, miniskirts, mesh tops and a black leather jacket and, I really like the black neck choker she has on, it's the kind that has a butterfly pendant at its center and, OH. MY. GOSH. She's just quite tall you know, maybe as tall as I am because I'm like 5'8 feet tall.

boarder

"Hey, I know that's not very tall for a boy, but I'm still 17 for now, so I might grow a little and if I don't. Well, I guess I'll be on the receiving end then". I grin as I thought, my eyes still on the brown-haired girl.

Though, more importantly, I know I've seen this girl somewhere before, it's just gives me the familiar vibe. Wide that in mind, I narrowed my eyes, with my head tilted to my left, as all my attention was draw to the girl. Yes, Nick is still talking to me, but I can't be bordered and I'm pretty sure he hasn't notice that, I a little bit too far from him.

Still looking at this brown long-haired girl, with a pretty side face, she's facing Willa Benson, our biology teacher, and it looks like Willa is giving her an ear full, I wish I could hear them a bit more, because the only thing I can get out of this low volume scolding, is something about grades and dressing. But God! She doesn't even look fazed.

And trust me, Willa is the one teacher I don't wanna ever cross paths with. Again!

Soon, I think then girl noticed my intense staring, me looking at her like I've never seen a girl before, because she slowly turns her head right to look at me, the second I saw her face, I immediately gasp recognize who she is,

She is that girl that was staring at my brother like she could use a pitch fork to stab him, back at the school's front yard when he was talk to that bitch. And currently she's giving me that look

Though, I don't want a pitch fork in my gut, I still wanna get to know her. So, I stylishly gave her a peace sign and smiled at her, but she totally ignored me. But for some reason, I just keep getting drawn to her. She intrigues me and I wanna know why,

A few seconds later, Willow's mouth stops moving, and immediately as it did, Brow haired left the office, as she was leaving, eyes followed her, not even wavering even for a moment, my mind have completely drifted from Freeman and the only thing I heard was "follow her, if you don't go you might not meet her again".

I know that is absurd, because we literally go to the same school, but it's still a public school so its possible. By the time I decided, she was already out of the office, so I just repeated the last words I heard from Freeman;

"Yeah! Thing with Alex! Compiling! Got it. I gatta go now Freeman" I said hastily and hurriedly ran after her,

"Wait! Justin I'm not sure you understand what I meant! Freeman. Freeman! Did you just call me that!" Mr. freeman yelled as I ran out but it was futile, I had no intention of stopping to hear him anyway.

After all my running, I finally made it to the hallway, but I couldn't find a trace of her, but as disappointing as it seems, I still can't do anything about it, it felt like I lost something very important. Anyway, the bell rings for next periods geometry and I have to get ready for class.

So, I walk into class, as I lift my head, I was expecting to see Alex sitting at his table, by the right of my sit, because my seat is by the window of the left side wall of the classroom, but sure enough that dude switched seats with some nerdy nerd again. I don't really get the point of all this, but he sure as hell want to avoid me all the time.

I sigh as I switch the direction of my sight to my sit, then once again, my eyes caught brown long-haired, at the seat just in front of mine, she was staring blankly at the window, like as if she was seeing someone, but I'm pretty sure everyone's in various classrooms, probably racking their heads on so mathematics or physic or thereabout.

As she stares in a daze, her clearly emphasize hazel eyes rested and so did her eyebrow, a smile appears on her face, emphasizing her beauty, but that's not the only thing I saw. If anything, she looks so much at peace and happy, but soon her facial expression becomes melancholic.

And immediately, I recognize that look all too well, it's the look I always have on when I think of him, I when I know I'm in love with him, then I remember that I can't be with him. When I think about James. When I think about my brother.

While watching her, my mind deviates from the sight of her, I could feel the intensity on my face fading, all my facial muscles relaxing, "I wonder what James is doing now" I sigh as mind is now completely filled with him.

"Justin!" I shudder at the sound of Mr. Daniel Warts grumpy voice "could you make yourself settled on your chair, I'm afraid your disturbing the class", I roll my eyes and glare at him for a second, because once again, some adult violated my only rule and now the what classroom has turned me into some artistic creation.

Mr. Warts raises one of his eyebrows and gestures his hands, directing me to go put my ass on my chair, I thought I was gonna gag, but I heard a scoff and I traced the it, of course, it was Alec who stared at me sardonically, chuckling as he shakes his head. The rest of the class were stylishly giggling as well.

"Well, this is definitely embarrassing", I groan as I take my sit. In the middle of all the commotion, brown haired didn't even flinch, I guess she's not the kind of person to go with the class.

"Lena!" Mr. Warts called out, and brown haired reacted, giving him her usual scornful look, as she finally removes her gaze from the window, "now I finally have your attention, daydreamer" he concluded and soon after, he stared the class, using the marker to write the day's topic on the white board.

"so, her name is Lena, and she does this often" I wonder as I stare deeply at her, I wow even more enthralled by her, "now I really wanna know who the person is".
