Audrey, baby girl i missed you, Ashley screamed as she hugged me so tight to the point where i couldn't breathe nor turn my body around to reciprocate the hug, it's good to be back in school she said like we don't see each other everyday.
Let her go, her face is turning blue Nancy warned, causing Ashley to release and turn me around to inspect my face. "Am sorry " she pouted and starts running away to save herself from my comeback.
Ashley, Nancy and I have been friends from the start of junior year, now, we are in the finals of senior year. We always hang out together, we figured it's best to stick together more as family than friends.
Suddenly a girl bumped into me without apologizing, she continued in her hush whispering like nothing happened and I watched as she drags her blond friend along in a pace that cannot be matched, poor girl.
Ace is here, Nancy said, pointing and dropping her hands to her sides immediately.
I tensed. Where? I asked her, frantically looking around and finally noticing he wasn't anywhere around me.
That's not nice Nancy.
Nancy wore a knowing smile on her face, her dimples flashing itself. There's only one reason you'll react that way to his name, is there something you will like to share with me Audrey, she asked as we got to our lockers.
I pull away from her grasps and selected a textbook, dumping it in her arms, we don't have all the time in the world but I could use your help with my book.
You're avoiding the topic, he is not a regular fuck boy you know? She said putting emphasis on the fuck boy.
And you believe this because his friend told you so uhn. I remember how Ace and I met at the mall, he was with this pretty curvy girl who had her hands glued to his body. I still remember her sweet smile when she twirled in a strapless red gown he bought for her. I remember when I got caught looking at them, how I turned the other way pretending to be rampaging my bag for a pen when I accidentally bumped into him. I felt weak to my knees that I didn't notice how he got here quickly or how he has unwrapped his hands from my waist after he ensured i was stable while my hands was still clinging to him.
I will take your silence as, you taking my advice into consideration Ashley muttered, pushing my textbook to my chest as we walked into the class together, a smile of achievements glowing in her eyes.
Her boyfriend James who happened to be Ace bestfriend was already seated, as usual Ace is nowhere to be found but, just as she was about to run to him, she stumbled back and whispered into my ears, you'll love him, you'll see.
I shook my head slightly at her, I hated match making, I was afraid when I dislike someone for the reason that it was a match making. I will end up falling deep. No thank you Nancy, it'll never happen, am sure of that.
I sat down in my usual seat at the back of the class which was behind, Ashley and buried myself in non existing thoughts.
Suddenly I feel someone seat beside me, Intruding my thoughts. Everyone knows I enjoy seating alone, I scrunched my face in confusion and turn to lock eyes with the most beautiful pair of blue eyes I have ever seen.
After a minutes of silence has passed between us, I say this seat is not taken. I put my hands on my mouth realizing the meaningless response I just gave.
He chuckled deeply and run his hands through his chestnut hair down to his sharp jaw a couple of times. I felt my cheeks burn up in embarrassment and mentally cursed myself.
You're not upset he asked in amusement.
Another silence settled between us and I suddenly noticed the new tattoo on his wrist, subconsciously my hands traced the tiny writings as I read it "my heart Is bruised. Some place deep down, my emotions are tangled".
For no reason, tears pooled in my eyes as I look at him, not realizing how close we are before blurting without thinking twice, what does it mean?
His eyes followed the trail of my small hands on his wrist before it settled back on my face. He rubbed his big thumb on my left cheek and I let him do that cause it felt good at the moment.
You don't need to worry about me princess, his deep voice sent butterflies down my spine. I wanted to ask him how I became his princess but kept stuttering until the teacher walked in and I quickly broke out of the trance, focusing all of my attention on what was taught.
