JULIE I look into his eyes, eventually losing myself in the dark forest of them. His emotions overpower his mind just like the way his pupils have dilated, overpowering the irises of his eyes. I cannot help but be captivated by his eyes' intensity. And I find myself attracted to him. I start moving closer to him, feeling his hot breath meeting my lips as he, too, starts to lean closer to me. We come close to each other, ready to let my lips meet him when suddenly the sound of someone's footsteps meets my ears and he suddenly grabs my arm to keep me away from him. He does not even lean closer to me while I, like a dumb girl, staring at him dumbfounded. He suddenly turns to look at the person who dared to disturb us and I find Ms Hudgens standing at the door. She is panting heavily like she just ran to here. But why would she? It is not like there is something very important in Staff roo. But I do not rush to judge her. "Ms Dawson," she addresses me, "you here? Did you need my hel
JULIEThat night I waited for him but he did not come. All the time, I think about him. He said he would come but he did not. I was not even asleep because I thought if there was some change in his plan, he would let me know by mind link if he could not grab his mobile. I lie on my bed, facing the ceiling. My eyes are opened and my breathing is slow. It takes almost an hour to make me sleepy. My eyelids turn heavy, starting to fall but I force them open, slapping my cheek to keep myself awake. But how long could I keep myself awake? Just after an hour, I fell asleep and woke up right after a few minutes when I heard his voice. "Did you fall asleep, baby?" I hear his voice in my head. I close my eyes, concentrating on him. If I had known him for more than three months, I could not even focus on his voice, but right now, I can do it easily. "Yeah, just woke up now," I answered him with a sigh. I do not want to admit it but I am somehow disappointed in him. He said he will come but
JULIEWhen the class is over, I come out of the room with a tired sigh. I clutch the strip of my knapsack and make my way to the cafeteria so there I can find my cousins. I want them to cheer me up. Also, I do not want to remember Ms Hudgens again and again. Until now I used to think that she is a nice woman but I was highly wrong. I walk downstairs, my steps are small and slow. The corridor is silent because there are classes being held around. Some of the classes are even empty. But I do not peek inside them. I reach the first floor and take my way when a hand grabs my wrist from behind and turns my body to face the stupid who did this. It is Mr Fransisco. Wow! I did not expect him to be this stupid. But he turned out to be quite intelligent by stopping me on a silent floor. The doors of the classes are closed so there are very low chances of any of them opening the door and finding Mr Fransisco holding his student's wrist. "What?" I ask dryly, snatching my wrist back as if his
JULIEFinally, the classes are over. It is my time to leave. I quickly run downstairs, holding the straps of my bag while my focus is fully on the stairs. I do not want to slip and break my bones, especially my spine. I have told my cousins about my plan after college so I do not have to worry about them. Because I usually go back with them, I need to let them know that I won't be coming with them. I do not want them to worry about me after that. I walk to the parking side and as I expected, I find Mr Taylor standing near his car, waiting for me. He is folding his arms on his chest and an instant smile crossed over his lips when he finds me coming to him. "Hi," I say, waving my hand a bit. And I expected him to wave me back with a sweet greeting but instead, he just leans down and captures my lips in a small and sweet kiss. A wet kiss that leaves me wanting more. And this is how he cheers up my mood which has been sour since the morning. All thanks to him that he exists. "Always g
JULIE "And she spoiled my mood, but now… I feel so good. Just because you're with me. Your presence is like a refreshment. I'm glad you're here with me. You tried to cheer me up."I keep grumbling to him, looking at the sky which is indeed so beautiful. It is orange and blue. The colour blue always reminds me of my lovely cousin Blue. But right now, I do not think of Blue because Mr Taylor is with me. He is lying beside me. Silently listening to me. I wonder what is good in my words that he is this silent to hear them. I know they are not so precious. I am just gossiping about my idiotic teacher Ms Hudgens. What good can he find in it? "Why did you stop?" He asks, turning to look at me but he finds that I am already staring at him. I cannot help but do it every time. He is so handsome. He should have mercy on the people around him. Without looking at him, nothing makes sense, after all. He is the one that makes me realise that the world is something. "Do you think Ms Hudgens is a
JULIENicholas drove me back to my house. It was already night by then. We were not too late. My dad was already home by then. He was making dinner at that time. When he saw that Nicholas was with me — Mr Taylor for him — he asked him to come inside and have dinner with us. For my dear father, Mr Taylor is already a very dedicated teacher. My dad respects him a lot so inviting him for dinner with us was nothing actually. He even asked Mr Taylor to spend a night at our house. Yes, I know my father is such a sweetheart but when I heard that Mr Taylor — I mean, Nicholas would be staying with us tonight, I could not help but jump on my spot. Thank goodness that my father was not facing me at that time. He was just facing the marble slab in the kitchen, doing something in the bowl so he could not see me jumping on my spot but Nicholas did and he chuckled under his breath. He actually called me crazy and cute while I just smiled at him. He brings out the little girl inside me. What cou
JULIELast night we did not sleep together. He left to rest in the guest room. When I woke up the next morning, I got to know that he would be leaving for his house instead of college. His duty is basically over for now. As per the rules, I know that we have allotted sixteen lectures for each subject. Eight have been taken by Mrs Lavigne, and eight were by Mr Taylor so his duty was over. Now he will be allotted to another section. Until then, he has to wait. Along with that, I have been hearing that the head of teachers is pretty impressed by Mr Taylor. Yes, Mr winter always mentions him whenever he is asked about the best professor there. The sole reason is that nobody failed our periodic tests. And this is why Mr Winter let him accompany us on the trip. I got ready and left for college. On the way, I received Nicholas' Text. He wished me good morning and it would be a lie that the sole text did not make my heart flutter. I wished him back and we chatted for a few minutes when m
JULIE"I can't even understand what you wrote! It's too ugly! That's what a language student should do, ha !! Plus look at ya grammar; I can't even count the errors! Girl, where are you from? Mars?" It is first Nicole who snickers and then the class suddenly laughs at my insult except for a few students. Malcolm is one of them and this is the first time he is not laughing. Though I want to know what changed that, I cannot help but flex my jaw at her stupid words. What does she think of herself? I was not wrong when I called her bitch, was I? "Gosh, it's giving me a headache, what's your name— ha! Julie Dawson! Yeah, I heard that name already. Your name is quite famous, by the way. You're the rich spoiled brat, no?" "Excuse me, who gave you the right to address me like that?" I could have heard it if she would not have brought out my character in between. What kind of teacher she is? It is like she is taking revenge for something. I did not even do anything to her. As if my words
