Chapter 12

Wednesday, 14th April, Upper School, Hazel 


"Why did you take my diary?" I yelled at him angrily and he stood up from his bed. I was at his dorm, looking for an explanation for his bad and disrespectful behavior. 

"Because I needed an answer to my questions." He replied softly and approached me.

"W- what do you mean? " I asked him, scared of what his answer might be.

"I wanted to know who hurt you. I wanted to know why you are acting like this towards- well, everyone. I wanted to know if you feel the same way that I do." He sighed and placed his right hand on my messy red hair and placed one piece of hair behind my ear. He then came pretty close to me, so close that I could hear his heavy breathing. What is he going to do? Is his heart beating as fast as mine? 'Cause I feel like it's going to explode. 

"N-Noel? W-what are you doing?" Why am I feeling so fragile? Like I'm going to break down on his arms right away. I don't like this feeling. I am strong. But he makes me feel weak.

"Shh. I know you do."  His smooth lips slowly touched mine and I immediately gave in. Our lips moved in sync and I couldn't get myself to draw away from him. I didn't yell at him, I didn't push him, hit him or anything. Because I didn't want him to stop. It felt so good. Kissing him. Being so close to him. 
I've been waiting so long for this.
And it's finally happening.








"HAZEL. WAKE UP." Cailin screamed and I immediately got up from my bed.

"Oh my God." 

"What happened? A dream?" Cailin asked me, while she was eating an apple.

"You seem worried." Rene continued.

"It wasn't a dream. It was a nightmare." I stated, rethinking everything that I dreamed. I have a headache.

"What was it exactly?" Cailin asked curiously. Should I tell them? I feel so embarassed.

"Collins. I dreamed about Collins." I responded. Wow, it didn't sound good. I shut my eyes, trying to forget about this stupid, imaginary kiss.

"You must killed him, or something, huh?" Rene replied while laughing and I only closed my eyes tighter.

"Um, well. No. Not- not exactly. It's stupid, really." I tried to smile but I was caught.

"NOOOOOOOOO WAY! It was a romantic dream, wasn't it ? You dreamed about Noel kissing you? Confessing his love to you? Proposing to you?" Cailin asked me and I was about to kill her. How can this girl be so jovial this early? And what is all this nonsense?

"Shut up." I snapped at her and placed my hands on my ears, so that I couldn't hear her twaddle.

"Someone's in love."

"You didn't just say that."

"I think I did."

"Rene. Help me or I'll hit her." 

"You need help doing that. So you know girls, I'm at a very good shape. So Cailin.." She smiled and after we took our pillows, we attacked at Cailin, while I was trying to forget this stupid dream that felt so real.

*************************************************

Our first class for today is Math and I pretty much suck at it. I find it so boring and this teacher, Mrs. Wilson or something makes me sleepy. I think I'm going to fall asleep in class if I don't leave immediately. I looked around to see where Collins is and when I spotted him, sitting with one of his friends, laughing at something, I quickly looked away, before anyone catches me staring. God, this would be embarassing.
I'm so stupid. I should have known that Collins took my diary. Of course he did. He and Brittany hate me so much. Almost as much as I do. I'm not going to let him get away with it. He sure won't. He'll regret it. Collins will regret it.

"Alright class. We're done for today. Please do all your homework and read everything that I wrote in class. Have a nice day." Mrs. Wilson, a blonde haired woman, with lots of jewellery around her neck and hands, stated and exited the class. I was sitting next to Rene, while Cailin was with another girl with many freckles on her face and body, Rosie, I think. I was ready to exit the class, when I heard a familiar name calling my name.

"Hey Hazel! How are you?" Theo approched me and hugged me.

"Just woke up from this boring class.  You?" I asked him and gave him a warm smile, but not as sweet as his. He laughed at my statement and I took some time to admire his beautiful face. He is very handsome, he really is. His blonde hair falls perfectly on his face, his beautiful emeralds are literally shining and he has the sweetest smile. 

"Do you wanna hang out later? After launch maybe?" He smiled and I couldn't help but smile, too.

"Sure. Our spot, right? We also need to continue our project." I sighed.

"Oh, yeah. So, we're gonna meet there. See ya, Hazy." 

"See ya, blondie." I smiled.

"You're good with nicknames, aren't ya?" He smirked and we walked through the halls together.

"One of my many talents." I joked and we laughed.

**************************************************

"Are you from here?" Theo asked, while we were sitting in the backyard, my favourite spot in this horrible school. It is very weird, really. This school doesn't deserve to have this beautiful place, full of flowers and life. 

"You mean Beverly Hills?" He nodded. "Yes. I am. And you?" 

"Westmont. It's not far from Beverly Hills, actually. Perhaps you've heard of it?"

"Oh yeah! I visited this place when I was six with my mum and my da-. And Ricardo." I corrected myself. He's not my father. "It's really cool, as far as I can remember." I smiled. Theo looked tense, though.

"Oh, t-that's cool." 

"Don't you like, hang out with other people in this school?" I inquired, curious for his answer. I've never seen Theo hanging with other guys or even girls, since the day I came here. Even the very first time I met him, he was sitting alone, leaning on the wall, watching me. No one around.
He's always by himself. He's quite mysterious, actually. He seems like the loner type of guy.

"I don't have friends here." He looked at me and I could see his light green eyes darken. I don't know why, but whenever I bring up the 'friends subject' he seems uncomfortable.

"Okay and why's that?" I continued. 

"You said it yourself, Hazel. Every single person in this damn school are stupid. There's no logical or serious guy to hang out with. That's why I always prefered to be alone. Until I met you. I've said it before, but it's true. You're different. You are different from all these identical people that go in this school." He smiled softly and looked me in the eyes.

"Rene and Cailin are nice, too. You should meet them." I kinda changed the subject. Truth is, I'm not used to taking compliments, either about my personality, or about my appearance. The only thing that I've received so far, is critism. Critism about the way I dress, the way I act, the way I am. I feel like Theo accepts me for who I am. And not only does he accept me, but he likes me. For me. And that makes my heart warm.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY GUYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
