BETTER

"You came today" I almost jumped out of my skin as I heard the voice say from behind me.

I turned around, already knowing who the voice belonged to, and gave him a glare.

Was that necessary?

I am not a fan of people coming up behind me... its scary and who knows, it could give you a surprise heart attack.

My parents would not be able to handle a hypertensive child. Mum is still learning the art of 'keeping it cool' so the hypertensive child isn't what she needs at the moment.

"I felt my soul nearly leaving my body by the way you scared me," I told him and he just chuckled.

Yeah, chuckling... cute guys like him do that but not at this moment when I am letting my 'dramatic self' take the show.

"You are being dramatic Mona but okay" he shrugged and a bored expression settled on my face when he called me Mona.

Okay, wait... seriously? Didn't people in the school know me as Andrea? And not my really weird and non-favorite name... Mona?

Why is this guy calling me Mona? Monalisa... I don't want to be known as Monalisa, I like Andrea better... even though I can tolerate Alfredo, it was still better than Mona.

I couldn't explain my total dislike for the name but I suspect that it's because my mum likes it so much and how she uses it most of the time when she wants to scold me... that could be a firm and solid reason to dislike the name.

"Earth to curly hair" I came out of my worry/thinking bubble when he snapped his fingers in front of my face and talked.

"Mona then button nose and now curly hair? What new name will you be calling me next?" I crossed my arms as I await his reply.

He grinned then leaned against the wall, hugged his torso with his left arm, his right arm's elbow rested on his left arm and his right fingers rubbed his chin I thought before he stood straight and answered me.

"We will find out soon, dear" he winked and I rolled my eyes then faced my locker as I thought about what I was doing before he decided to scare me.

"Forgotten what you want to do," he asked and I turned to him again but this time I had a bored look on my face.

I don't need his attention now or ever... I wonder why he suddenly started talking to me at all times.

"Do I have anything of yours in my possession?" I asked in the most bored manner I could so that he gets the hint that I don't want to talk to him now or later.

"Not really but you do have something that is yours in your own possession," he said and I frowned in confusion.

What is this guy saying?

"Jeremy..."

"Nice you know my name" he interrupted me and I started wondering if I really had a crush on this guy or not.

I think I am having a bad feeling about him now...

Nah, you just hate the fact that he knows you as 'Mona' instead of 'Andrea' like you wanted.

I heard my subconscious say to me and I shook my head at the thought.

"And you know me as Monalisa"

"Yeah, I like the name... it's cute" he said and I didn't know when my cheeks suddenly went warm from that little compliment.

He called you 'Mona' and knows you as that so don't blush

I tried to forget that he said Monalisa is actually a cute name and that he likes it... definitely, he likes me.

Maybe I shouldn't just read too of his words. It possibly cant mean anything.

Brushing that off, I nod my head and then turned away from him to pick up my notes from my locker.

Yeah, I was looking for the note but couldn't find it at home in my locker... I remembered.

"Are you through with picking up what you want? Be quick so that we can get to class on time" he said to me and I frowned then closed my locker and locked it when I had picked up the book before turning to him.

If I am delaying you in any way, please leave so that I don't delay you further" I told him and he just shakes his head and puts his arms around my shoulder so that we can walk to class together.

We have the same class together, that I am aware of but his arms around my shoulder are what is making me worked up... if that's the word to use now.

It didn't feel weird to have his arm around me but I didn't give consent for him to put his arm around me or be this close to me still I kinda liked it and wanted to wrap mine around his waist so that we look like buddies catching up on old times.

I am not doing that so I wouldn't think of it.

As we approach class I saw Bam coming from the opposite direction and could see a small teasing smile on her face when she saw us this way.

Then I wondered how it would be if Filet had actually put his arm around this girl's shoulder or just tapped her.

GOD bless him, he would have ended with something broken and that could be his arms or fingers... if she let him pick which would be broken through.

Just like how I saw his cheeks red some time ago and when I asked, he said he wanted to place a kiss on her cheek when she reacted fast and hit him on reflex.

I don't support her actions on making this guy's life hell but Bam's reflexes are really fast so if you want to scare her from behind or touch her when she isn't expecting then you have to think twice.

I have been lucky... I would say to be one of her first victims but she promised-ish to try to tone how fast she reacts to things but it's still the same if you ask me.

Poor Filet fell hard for a very strange, wonderful, and great girl. I wish them the best in life... if she finally gives him a chance though.

She was going to say something but I silenced her with a glare and she just chuckle before entering the classroom with I and Jeremy following behind.
