Chapter 7

Ohh shoot!

I am again late for school. Mr. Hanks is going to kill me today. Ohh gosh Soaf, this is the third time in a week.

I rushed towards the school entrance. As I reached the corridor I saw a guy standing next to my locker. The rest of the corridor was empty, as I was approaching towards my locker an obscure image appeared to be standing near it.

It was Ray.

But what is he doing here? He must be late for class. Does this guy even care?

"Hey, you're late!" Ray said with a worrying look on his face.

"No shit, Sherlock," I said still panting hard as I grabbed my books from my locker.

"Is everything alright?" Ray asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Yeah. Perfect." I said in a hurry.

"Why are you still here anyway? Don't you have a class right now?" I asked, totally vexed by his presence.

"Yeah, I was just waiting for you."

Sorry, can you repeat that?

"For me?" I said giving him a pointed look.

"Yeah" He replied with a sheepish grin on his lips and an amused glint in his eyes. I don't know whether it's just me or he is actually looking at my eyes as if fishing for something.

Snap out of it, Soaf.

"May I know why?" I asked, breaking the eye contact and looking everywhere but at him. Well, I won't lie but every time he looks at me my heart starts racing.

That's not good, is it?

"What why? We are friends aren't we?" He said as if it was a renowned fact.

Still burning holes at the side of my head with his gorgeous blue orbs.

Wait, did I just say that?

"Maybe, but that doesn't mean that you have to wait for me, right?" I replied.

"We are already late for the class princess, do you still want to argue? Because I can do that whole day and you know I'm going to win" He said with a smirk.

Arrogant Moron!

With beautiful blue eyes

Shut up Soaf.

"Ughh, god save me" I mumbled as I started rushing towards the class. I saw Ray following me.

He doesn't share this class with me. Why is he following me?

As I opened the door, Mr. Hanks had already started teaching. As soon as he saw me late in the class he got angry.

"It's the third time in a week that you are late Miss Esinberg." He huffed in annoyance.

"I'm extremely sorry sir, this won't happen again"

"Alright, come on in." Mr. Hanks said.

Behind me, Ray was standing. As I reached my desk I heard Mr. Hanks saying "Oh, late as usual. Get inside."

What?

Remind me again, why isn't he being scolded?

I saw Ray coming towards me. Marcus was sitting right next to me but Ray asked him to sit somewhere else.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"What do you mean? It's my class." He replied. I glanced at him through the periphery of my eye. He still had his infamous smirk on those luscious lips.

This is not the time to think dirty, Soaf!

"No it isn't, you don't share this lecture with me." I reminded him.

"Ohh, is it so?"He replied with a mischievous glint in his blue eyes

"What?" I asked him, completely irritated by that smirk plastered on his lips.

"Well, I just noticed something." He said out of nowhere, gazing at the board.

"That is?" I waited for him to continue and get over with this shit already.

"It seems like you notice me too much." He replied.

Although this made me as red as a tomato, I tried to compose myself and replied him "Cocky much?"

"Princess, I am trying to concentrate here, which by the way your beautiful presence is not letting me."

Stop blushing, Soaf. He's just messing with you.

Damn. My heart goes all haywire when he talks like that.

Well, joining more to the list, now I have to tolerate him in Chemistry also. Just my luck!
