Not Any of These Things

☞chapter2☜

Lunch time:

After math and history Ria and I ran to her home economics class.

And just like she said there were a bunch of colorful metal wires. With her teachers permission I grabbed a bright red and soft yellow wire.

"What are you gonna do?" Ria asked curiously as I twirled the wire in my hands.

"Something," I replied with a smirk knowing my answer will only rile her curiosity.

"Come on! Tell me! I wanna know!" She wailed dramatically.

"Don't you have an athletes meeting to go to?" I inquired completely changing the subject.

Realization dawned on her face as she did a face-palm. Just so you know the only difference between our face-palms is that Ria will literally smack herself leaving a red hand mark.

"I totally forgot! I gotta go! Catch you later Corinth! And update whatever happens with that wire kay? Bye!" And as quickly as her words she sped away.

"You'll find out soon."

Now alone I ran upstairs and heard that Indian music again.

Oh I almost forgot to tell you what school I go to! Well I am currently attending John F. Kennedy High school. Okay on with le story.

Mrs. Alice was still trying to figure out the steps as I quietly walked in waving to her. "No that's not right." She mumbled completely oblivious of my existence. Shrugging it off I sat on one of her chair benches dropping the wire in front of me. This was the only class that never has a bunch of students hanging around, I wonder why.

Cracking my knuckles I took a deep breath and said,"Here we go."

Finally it's English (a little early though):

For the entire lunch time I spent on making Larke's valentine's gift that I totally forgot to eat. My stomach felt completely hollow as I tried to fill it up with water.

"Hey Corinth! So what'd you do with the wire!" Said a high-on-sugar Ria.

Before I could reply my stomach grumbled horribly. And it's not one of those cute quiet ones either. It was deep and loud and I mean really loud. It's a good thing no ones around except for Ria.

"Someone's hungry."

The voice caught me off guard as I turned around to see Lar- I mean Mr. Larke standing behind me. His face was twisted in amusement as he handed me a plastic bag. "Here."

"What is this?" I asked opening the plastic bag revealing one of those quick-made bentos you can only buy at supermarkets. My heart was thundering in my chest.

"Leftovers," he replied with a grunt.

Before I could say thanks he swung the door open and walked inside.

Clutching my chest I felt a painful twang as my heart drummed up a solo performance.

"Oooooh your so red," Ria said playfully bumping her shoulder unto mine.

"I am!" I yelled smacking my face. "D-did he-." Before I could finish she shook her head giggling,"Nah he didn't see. You were too busy looking shocked."

Whew.

If he finds out, even a slight blush would make him think you like him. Don't get me wrong I love Larke, but the problem is that if he finds out you have genuine feelings for him it will only push him away.

I've seen him reject so many girls and....I don't want him to leave me.

I'm just glad the person I love is here with me.

That's enough for me.

Placing his gift with the others I walked to my seat unaware of the events that will soon happen after.

Well if you guys like it so far I'll happily continue....well I'll just continue anyways. Even I want to know what's going to happen. Sorry again if it seems to drag a bit. I'll try harder to keep it from being too draggy. Peace my brethers and sistas!
