Unrequited Love

5.

„Are you going to give that back to me?" I look at him with waiting eyes and he just simply smiles.
„No."
„Excuse me?"
„You're excused"
He starts walking away leaving me dumbfounded.
——————————————————————————

Hours have passed and I am sitting on my desk at home, the blending white light of my desk lamp lights my german book as I am trying to do my homework. Instead of doing that, I sigh and give up, since I can't concentrate.
„I hate this" I mumble under my breath as I take out google translator and do the homework with it.

But again, I just can't get the picture of this guy out of my head.
His smile as he didn't want to give me my pen back, the long brown curls hanging in his face and his hazel brown eyes looking into mine. He really is handsome.
Should I go to the library tomorrow again..?

My eyes wide at my own thoughts and I slap my hand against my forehead.
„What am I even thinking?"

After all, I shook the feeling out of my head and went back on doing homework. The next day I enter the school like always. But today, something seemed different.
When I walked inside of my class, there was no yelling, barely even talking. Only whispers were heard.

I walk to my friend group and greet them.
„Guys? What's going on?"
„Haven't you heard the news yet? We are getting a new student in our school. A guy. He is in our age so he might get in our class."
Nina explains as the others agree with her.
„But did you forget that most of us won't even be in the same class anymore? Next year everything is changing."

„Oh, you're right. Aaron and Zane are leaving to a complete different direction. Architecture, while we are staying at the „business" path. Kind of sad not gonna lie." Olivia says as Zane and Aaron agree with her.

„I am not really into business but I for sure will miss you guys in class." Zane laughs as he throws an arm around my shoulder.
„We will miss you guys too." I answer and he smiles at me.
„What's even the point of all this?"
Olivia rolls her eyes and leans her chin in her palm.
„Well in the first to the sixth grade we all have the same lessons, everyone learns the basics and then you decide of you wanna keep going this path or change it because every of these like architecture needs the basics we learn in the first to the sixth grade." Nina explains to Olivia as she nods.

„I think it's pretty logical, by the way, where the fuck is Tiffany? Lesson is starting soon."
I ask Olivia and Nina as both shrug their shoulders.
„She said she will come later than usual. I don't know why."
And as if she heard her name being called, Tiffany opens the door, a big smile plastered on her lips as her cheeks are a slight tint of red.

She walks inside with her eyes locked to the floor, sits down next to Olivia and takes a deep breath.
„Guys...I have to tell you something."
I blink a few times and lean closer to her.
„Where have you been??" Kyra asks her and she smiles even wider.
„Well...I kind of met with Bleron and uhm well..."
She stops herself to watch our reaction.
„We are together now!!" She squeals and holds her fists up.
„Huh?" My mind blocks as I watch the girl smiling to herself as everyone has pretty much the same reaction as me.

„Girl do you really think that's a good Idea??"
She frowns and looks at Nina.
„What do you mean? IT COULDN'T BE BETTER??"  She spats at her and crosses her arms infront of her chest.
I stay silent as I watch them both talking, give Kyra a few glances, which she notices immediately and nods her head.

„I am just trying to say that he is a walking red flagg, nothing on him but his looks are alright." Nina frowns and leans back in her chair as she receives an eye roll from the clearly mad Tiffany.
„At this point you are ridiculous. Why can't you just be happy for me?" She turns away from Nina that looks at us with the „what am I supposed to say" look.

„It's the bitter truth, you got to accept it." She whispers yet loud enough for her to hear and also turns away.
But fights between Nina and Tiffany aren't anything unusual. They fight at least twice a day over the dumbest things so we don't sorry much about it and take out our stuff as the math teacher walks inside.

A year later

It hasn't changed much these past few months, Tiffany and Bleron surprisingly stayed together, they're nearly 7 months together now. Kyra also got into a „talking phase" with a guy she met in school. Typical hallway crush you could say. We had our final exam week and I was studying the shit out of these books, but made it. And about the library guy, I haven't seen him ever since then. Nowhere. Strange, isn't it?

„That's it guys, today is the last day we are still together in the same class. How about we do something today after school?"
I announce and the others agree right away with me.
„Let's go to the movies!"
Zane suggest and we all agree on that.

I look out of the classroom since the door is wide open and notice a familiar figure standing in the hallway.
„No way"
I whisper to myself as I see the library guy standing there, talking to a teacher.
Brown oversized pants with a yellowish white hoodie with the eiffeltower  as a picture in the front. Black Vans and a pretty necklace hanging around his neck, long brown curls hanging over his forehead as he is holding some books in his hand.
The teacher nods and walks into our class, him following her behind.
What is going on?

As soon as everyone notices him walking inside, they sit down on their seat and stop talking.

„Dear students, since not alot of you are staying here in this business branch the principal has decided that this student will transfer into our class right after the break. His name is Tyler. Would you like to say something?"
Tyler smiles and looks around in the class, then our eyes lock and he looks rather surprised. My heart beat increases for a not explainable reason as I watch him standing in the front.

„Uhm..Hi, my name is uh Tyler..and I hope we will get along." He scratches his nape in embarrassment as some of the girls start snickering.
The teacher smiles at Tyler and shows him a free seat 2 tables away from me.
„You can stay here for the rest of the day to get to know the others better." He nods and makes his way to the table and while he passes me, he again buries his eyes in mine, stares into my soul for a few seconds and then looks away, sits down and fiddles with his rings.
Now, what was that?
