CHAPTER 10 (Part 2)

Hey guys! This is part 2 of the last chapter, hope you like it :)

Everyone was at the school park. It was sunny, but there was still some cold breeze. Most of the girls were laying down on the benches and the floor, using every moment of Sun there was.

I walked slowly, now I was more relaxed and the air calmed me. I sat down near the central fountain. My feet hang from the tall wall and the water sprinkled them, without really making them wet.

I tried getting out of my mind what had happened in the toilet. I tried to keep my mind empty. But I coudn't. Because every time I closed my mind somehow Alex managed to get inside. His eyes, his smile, his... everything.

So I opened my eyes to view the park. I saw Mary and the other two. Great. They looked like they were searching for something. Or someone.

Mary turned around and saw me sitting down at the fountain. She stared at me for a few seconds, her eyebrows and her lips tight. Her blue ayes had lost all signs of beauty and reflected pure evil. I think she wanted to say something with that look. She raised an eyebrow, as if expecting an answer, and I gave her one raising my eyebrow too.

She turned around throwing her hair backwards with her hands and walked quickly with her two little dogs following her. Of course. I was fed up. I decided that I really didn't care about anything she tried to do me.

The wind was now becoming warmer and a little stronger. I thought I was goind to fall asleep. That day could end right now and I wouldn't mind at all. I closed my eyes while seated and I felt my hair being moved gently by the wind. Everything just became silent...

Then I noticed someone had sat next to me. I opened my eyes and I was surprised to find that foreign guy that had been with Mary. I didn't even remember him. With all that stuff going on about Alex I had forgotten that the first day of school I saw them making out. It was unbelievable, how ambicious she was. She had this guy, and she was still pissed off if Alex flirted with me.

He wasn't looking at me. He looked downards, at the fountain. I observed him for a few seconds. The guy was cute. Honey eyes, blond hair... I wasn't surprised Mary had gone for him.

“Eric, right?” I said.

Suddenly he left his own world and looked at me.

“Yeah, I tought you wouldn't remember...” he smiled. “We haven't been introduced. Nice to meet you, you're Miranda right?”

“Yep.” I said while we shook hands. It was easy speaking to him.

“So, I saw you all pissed off before... is it to do with Mary?” he asked.

I was not in the mood of talking about that, but I didn't want to seem unpleasant.

“Yes... why?”

“Because I was also mad at her.”

“Really? What happened?”

“Pfff...” he sighed. “He used me, just like one more guy. Apparently as I was new, she went for me. But really, I was just another one on the list. She didn't even give any explanations. From a day to another, she stopped talking to me, I don't get it...

“You gotta be careful who you become friends with the first day of school...” I said. Of course. Mary had made him fall, like all of the other guys. I felt sorry for him, but he had looked for it. He shouldn't go kissing girls the very first day...

“I know, it was a mistake...”

I looked into his eyes, and I could see that personality. Mr prince Charming, who wanted to control the situation. I'm pretty sure Mary dumping him had been a real blow. I laughed inside. But he seemed a nice guy.

“What about you? What happened with her?” he asked.

When I opened my mouth to say something the bell rang. I grabbed my bag, fixed my hair a bit, and got up.

“It's a long story...”

He also got up. The sun shone bright, creating orange and pink reflections on the water.

“You'll tell me someday” he said.

“Hey, how do you speak Spanish so well?” I asked. I wanted to change the conversation.

“Hahahahaha” he laughed. “Good question. Emm, my mom's Spanish and that's why we came here. It's a long story too...”

“Oh... well, see you Eric. Gotta go to class, bye!”

We smiled and I left, walking towards the main door.

The sun was almost sunset. At last. It was Thursday. There was only one day left and that day would come. That day I longed so much.
