Why was the time damn slow? Shouldn’t it be time for lunch? I wondered, my eyes catching the square clock that has been hanging in our class, since forever.
“You shouldn’t have bothered coming to school today if you were going to be this distracted.” Naomi whispered as she brought her head and book close to me like she was showing me something. The professor was looking at us.
I shrugged at her question, not knowing what to say. She was right. But what she didn’t know was that I had come to school to catch a glimpse of Adam for the last time.
It was stupid. It was a lame expectation. Nevertheless, I was yearning for an alone time with him again.
“You could have waited for me at your house. You know, spend more time with your mother…” Naomi was saying, and I just nodded along, not having anything to contribute to the discussion.
The bell rang for lunch then, and we all breathed out in relief. We, as in the whole class. It was obvious that I wasn’t the only one bored out of my head in the chemistry class. Not wasting any more time, I put my books-which I never touched except to play around with-inside my bag; and stood up, pulling Naomi with me.
“Let’s go to the cafeteria.” I said to her, with a smile that wasn’t deterred when she huffed in response. I couldn’t wait to eat there like other students did, without being bullied.
“I just wish that I can follow you out of the pack… but I doubt my parents will allow that. I just feel like you are about to step into some kind of good stuff and I am here lagging behind. There is nothing interesting around here anymore, not with you leaving. This is so not fair.” Noami whined, pouting her lips.
This should be the hundredth time that Naomi had made this particular statement. It was like a mantra now, since we had left the house this morning. But I got her point quite alright. She was going to miss me. And I would too. So much.
But, just as we were about to walk out of the class with the other students who seemed to be in a hurry for lunch, Adam and Noah stepped into the class, causing an instant shut down in movement.
These boys were really gods here.
“Good day, class. Can you all go back to your seats?” Noah spoke calmly, yet authoritatively.
Immediately, everyone scurried back to their seats, including I and Naomi.
My eyes came in contact with Adam’s at the same time that my buttocks hit my seat. He smiled at me. Like smiled.
I felt the thread of that smile down to my toes. I mentally cussed myself the next second however, wondering whether the kiss was playing a part in my stupid reaction to him now.
When everyone had settled down, Adam stepped forward, his eyes never leaving mine, not minding that Claire was right in the same class with me. I heard one of her minions scoff and knew that I was not the only one aware that Adam was staring at me. But why was he doing this?
“We are here to invite you all to a party at the Lycan’s estate in honor of Maya Holins who will be leaving us soon. It is a form of apology to her for making her two years quite troublesome..” Adam was saying, and I suddenly started coughing.
Naomi snickered as she gave me her water can.
I heard Claire mutter ‘fuck it’ and ‘dumbo’, obviously as surprised as everyone else, at the turn of events.
Well, I hadn’t seen this coming either. Mother hadn’t mentioned it.
