Chapter 8

A faint tapping sound echoed throughout the classroom. I hit my pencil against the desk and the tapping continued again. I looked up at the clock reading 2:36. I groaned and hit my head against the desk. Twenty four more minutes until class is over. I risked a glance at the teacher who was glaring at me, because I was the only person in the class who was making any other noise then the faint scraping noise of pencils writing our Romeo and Juliet papers.

I immediately looked back down at the green eyes staring back up at me. I got really bored and somehow green eyes with flecks of gold and black, surrounded by black lashes, ended up on my paper. The eyes reminded me of what diamonds would look like if help up to the light. I filled in some thick eyebrows above the eyes. Slowly the entire face came alive, and it looked as though I stuck a picture of a half colored Jace on my paper. His sharp chin and high cheekbone just right. His wavy dark hair filled in with highlights of bronze, chestnut, and auburn.

I looked up at the clock. One more minute until class is out. I put away my colored pencils into my pencil pouch, and stuck it into my bag. The bell rang so I crumple up my picture, and slipped it into my pocket to uncrumple later.

I entered the hall filled with children pouring out of their classrooms heading home or to a practice. I found a headfull of red curls leaving a classroom across from mine.

"Hey." I said pulling Kathleen into the stairwell that would lead down to our lockers. She smiled at me, and started to tell me about how one kid decided to taste one of the chemicals they were experimenting with. Turns out it was definitely not edible. He spent the rest of the period throwing up at the nurses.

I was laughing too hard to even notice Dylan passing until he was yanking me over to the side of the railing pressing my back against the railing. He gave an apologetic smile to Kathleen as he pulled me away.

"You said you'd explain," He hissed.

"And I will. Do you have practice today?" I asked.

He nodded. "I have about 5 minutes until I need to start getting ready. So hurry up!"

I shook my head. "I'll meet you down at the field in 15 minutes. Kathleen is coming with too, because she already knows. Plus I promised I would take her to the park while Adam has practice."

"Why don't we just talk now?"

"Because you need to start getting ready to meet me down at the field in 15 minutes," I grinned up at him.

He opened his mouth ready to say something else, but thought against it. He walked away shaking his head muttering "sisters are just too confusing". I pulled the even more confused Kathleen over to our lockers explaining to her what was going on. I found the eager Adam waiting for his cousin by her locker.

"Hey, could I borrow your car?" I asked in a sweet little innocent voice, that belonged to anyone but me, and looked up at him through my dark lashes.

"Why?" He asked cautiously.

"Kathleen and I want to go to the park."

"And...?"

"And I can't drive the two of us on my motorcycle."

"How am I supposed to get home?" He hollard getting half the hallways attention.

"My motorcycle."

Those two words must have been magical, because he quickly smiled a dare devil smile, and pulled out his keys. We swapped keys, and he left with a "Don't get into trouble", to practice. I opened up my locker, and put some homework stuff in my bag, even though I wouldn't do it. I grabbed my leather jacket, and slammed my locker shut. Kathleen appeared by my side so we both wondered down to the field.
