Lost and Found

Those Green Eyes

Jamie's P.O.V.

He did not just look right through me! We'd been texting after the Calendula delivery so I knew he knew who I was.

Maybe I just look different, or he wasn't expecting me, or-

"Are you okay?" Dylan asks.

"Me? Yeah of course!"

"Oh don't mind him."

"Who?" I ask slightly confused.

"The boy you just slammed into. His name's Raven. He's like the 'bad boy.'" He says with quotations.

"What do you mean by bad boy?"

"Oh like he sleeps with every girl, just wants to get into their pants, does drugs, drinks, been in motorcycle crashes, breaks girls hearts, everything."

Great!

"Is he dating anyone right now?"

Dylan laughs. Um what?

"Dating? Haha! You're funny! Raven doesn't date!"

And then as if magic, Dylan shuts up.

Hold up. What just happened?

"Um you okay?"

"Oh sorry. But now that you mention it there was this girl, actually my friend. Ariana Rose. They used to date. They got pretty serious. Then like always, he broke her heart. I really thought with her, because of her, he'd change. But he didn't. He broke her heart. She didn't come to school afterwards. A week or two later, she texted me and told me that she moved to Boston. Also, that she was getting a new number."

Holy. Why did I have to fall for such an arsehole?

"But anyways!! Let's get to class!" Dylan says, trying to feign happiness. His voice is pretty convincing but his eyes still show pain.

Not wanting to push Dylan any more forward I manage my best smile and follow him.

When we enter the classroom all eyes are on me. I quickly judge all the people in the room, I sounds bad but everyone does it.

The teacher makes me introduce myself, and she begins explaining what we have been doing and what she expects me to do.

I have to read Great Expectations. I'd already read it, but what difference does once more make?

I take a seat next to a girl who is dressed like me, and who reminds me of Skylar.

As the teacher starts talking she pokes me.

"I'm Sky." The irony.

I smile and say, "I'm Jamie."

She replies, "I know. You just introduced yourself." I laugh silently.

I turn my glance towards Dylan and look to see where he sat down. He sat towards the teachers desk. I sat towards the back, next to Sky.

"He's gay." Sky says.

"Huh?" Is all I manage.

Once her words click I start saying to myself, "knew it knew it knew it!"

She laughs beside me.

"You were staring at him with one eyebrow up. Doesn't take a genius to figure out you were thinking about him."

"I've been trying to figure out all day if he is or not! Thank you!" I say, doing a little happy dance because I was right.

And plus, who has never wanted a gay best friend?

"Ladies. Sky, Jamie. Please quiet down." We receive glances from the whole class, smiles from a few guys (cute if I do say so myself), and some more smiles from other girls.

The attention leaves us as soon as Mrs. Edwards starts talking again.

I zone out until I hear the door open. Such a noisy door.

And in walks Raven.

"Raven. I'm glad you finally decided to join us!" Mrs. Edwards says sarcastically. I like her already!

"Yeah." He mumbles.

Was he doing drugs? No, he was probably just late, maybe at the nurse or something! Those rumors are probably just fake.

"And since you came so 'fashionably late'-" many kids snicker. "-there is only one seat left. And that too next to our new student Jamie. Now go sit next to her, and try to stay mum. We only have a few minutes left anyways."

Oh shoot.

He comes and sits next to me. I stare at him, hoping to see his green eyes show some sort of recognition.

Those green eyes never look my way.

Raven- all those in favor of BUTTHEAD say "I" all those in favor of ONLYTOPROTECTHER say "nay"

Oh! One more thing. I'm so so so sorry if any of this content makes you unhappy. Jamie is just a lighthearted person and she takes gay people very commonly. Many people are conservative I guess, and don't appreciate how I put a gay person in my book. But that's just real life.

I, myself, know two gay guys, (who are dating if y'all weirdos were wondering), and many people don't accept gays yet but hey! Stay open-minded please because Dylan will be a constant character, and if that bothers you then I apologize but there's nothing more I can do :)

Vote, comment, and do all that funky junk! :)
