I took a deep breath and let it out slowly through my punted lip My mind had heen racing the entire day. I know we Wanted me to forget about what happened but I just, couldn’t I tried, I really did. But very single time I think about him, the vene in the cafeteria energes back into my head.

The usual churpiness in her voice had definitely reared back into her tone, yet something was different. The way she looked at me was different. Well the way she avoided looking at the I supposel should say. Even dropping me off she didn’t joke about sex which was a shocker.

Seeing how distant she was being with mm e led to my brain working quickly and putting the pieces together. Whatever Halden said to her had something to do with me, or it involved me at least.

I wanted to confront Häiden, ask him what he said to her but after following M 1. Gibbern, Haiden was yet to be seen.

I crumbled the piece of paper, not liking the draft I had just written and cast it inside the small rose-gold trash can at the foot of the desk.

It was night already. The sun had gone down a few minutes ago, leaving the entire world in complete darkness. Only that the light from the street lamps cased the wandering humans who roamed the streets at night.

I loved the darkness, I craved the sort of quiet relief it gave me.

Night is when my brain can finally detach from what happened prior, when I can hear the crickets and listen to the occasional passing cars. But tonight was different. Tonight my brain was runningo n a treadmill and I feared it was going a bit too fast.

Apart from that, he was considered one of the best in the school

“You can’t just write poetry without it moving you, you must feel it, blah, blah, blah.” I snapped faintly. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“There are so many human emotions, which one should I write about? Uhhh.” I clench my eyes shut.

Love. I’ll just write about lour, it’s the afly efnition that’s easier to write about

Finally agreeing with what I came up with, I opened my eyes and began jotting down randomly on the paper. Ironic that a girl who didn’t know anything about lave chose the emotion to write about 1 can only see this going two ways.

One, I’d make Mr. Boyd cringe but still pass because somewhere deep inside he’s a lover of romance. Two I’d cringe myself, write some nonsense and fail iniserably. The second one wasn’t an. option
