Shattered

Amusement park

The halls of the schools are unusually quiet today. It's a bright and beautiful morning , the sun embraces the sky and the sky dances along.

With my Economics books in hands , I walk down to my Econ class .

"Hey." Someone says , and I jump in fright. Where did he come from?

"Dont look so scared Gemma. Just wanted to update you on what we're doing this week." Tyler says.  I give him a glare which he ignores .

"Morning Tyler." I say , trying to make him see how frightened I still am.

"Yea , yea,  morning . Everyone is going to Lake Shawnee Abandoned Amusement Park  for Halloween on Friday . You want to come?" He asks , slinging his arm around my shoulders .

"What time Tyler?" I ask him .

"I'll pick you up at six. " he says .

"Oh , sure then . I'll talk to Ally . And she'll talk to her boyfriend , then I'll get back to you." I say to him . He kisses my cheek .

"Eww , dont you have a girlfriend?" I ask his retreating back while whipping my cheek.

"Nope!" He yells over his shoulder.

I push the door to the class. The lecture has already begun , everyone turns my direction and my head habitually bows .

I sit on my usual chair the entire class , I feel someone's eyes glued to the back of my head .

When the bell rings , I grab my stuff and bolt to my English class . I am not fit for all of this .

It still feels like someone is watching me .

The moment I enter Mrs Jackson's class , I notice Ally on her usual seat .

I head to mine which is next to hers .

"Hey." I say to her , she looks up and smiles .

"Hi, did Ty tell you about the Halloween party? Colt wants to go but I told him I wouldnt go without you." She says .

"I told Ty I wouldnt go without you." I say and she nods .

That means we've agreed that we're going , it's kind of our thing .

"Ahh , Mr Goldberg.  Finally decided to attend my class." Mrs Jackson says. For some reason that name sounds familiar.

I look closer at the person at the door frame . Its Jeremy .

"Yes." He simply says .

It seems that bad mood I'd seen him in the first time we bumped into each other - literally - was just that , a bad mood.

"There's an empty seat behind Ms Summer . Ms Summer , just raise your hand so that he sees you." Mrs Jackson instructs .

I raise my palm and he walks directly to me . I dont miss the eye contant he gives me the entire way .

His eyes are stuck like glue to my face . It's when he bumps into my table that his eyes peel off me , his cheeks turn a light red that you'd only see if you're close enough to him . He walks to the desk behind me and sits .

The entire class is watching , the deafening silence in this room cause my heart to beat faster . It's as if they are all expecting something to happen . But nothing happens .

You could literally hear a cotton ball fall with how silent it is in here .

I'm surprised Ally is able to be this quiet too . Even Mrs Jackson , the most talkative teacher in the entire campus , is quiet.
