It's been about a week since I last saw Paige and I'm currently sitting in the cafeteria with Jay and a couple of his friends. Jay has his right arm wrapped around my waist holding me to him as he talks with his oafish friends. Such a guy thing to do. Probably claiming me in front of everybody. I really wish he'd stop with this jealousy thing.
As they talk about football and lord knows what, I don't pay attention at all. I'm too busy with stuffing my face with lasagne I got from the Italian pop up store inside the cafeteria.
"Woaw, Maya, slow down there girl." One of Jay's friends tells me.
"Shut up. Humfry. Need foophg. Leam meh lonegh." I say with my mouth full not even bothering to find out which one of them said it. I hear laughing coming from all around the table and then feel a kiss being placed on the left side off my temple. Seriously, Jay's sweet and all but I'm trying to eat here. It's technically his fault for my hunger. I had one bite of food last night and that's it.
After a few minutes of eating a strange feeling radiates over my body, like someone's staring at me. I then chew the remainder of the food in my mouth and swallow slowly, trying not to look like I just devoured my lasagne. Grabbing a napkin I bring it to my mouth and cleaned any sauce or residue I might have of the lasagne.
"Dang girl! You sure can eat!". The same voice says from before, I look up and realise its Jay's best friend, Chad. I then glare at him and throw the napkin at him making everyone at the table laugh, especially Jay.
Still feeling like someone was watching me I raised my eyes and scanned my eyes across the ocean of students sprawled throughout the café. My eyes then suddenly lock with familiar cerulean eyes.
The look in her eyes were so intense that my breath hitched. Jay noticed this and asked me if I was okay. Turning my head to him I just smiled and said I was which made him smile at me and squeeze my waist. He then returned to his friends, becoming fully engrossed in their conversation.
Returning my gaze to the opposite table I came to find that she was still staring at me. She had her arms folded and one leg crossed over the other. She was wearing ripped leather leggings and a body hugging white t-shirt. Red high heels adorned her feet and her blonde hair, which was parted down the middle, framed her face beautifully.
She never once took her eyes off me. Everything about her was so very intense. Looking at her I noticed she smiled timidly at me and I couldn't help but curve the ends of my mouth upwards and smile back at her.
She slowly licked her bottom lip and cocked her head to the side and smiled more widely at me. When she did that, it made me scoot a bit closer to the table and I placed a stray curl that fell in front of my face behind my ear, while doing this my eyes kept flickering down to the table top and then up to meet her eyes. She made me nervous. And no one ever did that. Maybe I'm just intimidated by her. Yeah right, who checks out their intimidators?
Me. That's who!
A masculine voiced coming from my left then interrupted the little interaction I was having with Paige.
"Hey babe, you think I should cut my hair?" Asked Jay causing me to break eye contact with Paige and direct my attention to him. For some reason I didn't want to look away from her, but I forced my eyes to. I mean it would be extremely weird if my boyfriend were to speak to me and I not answer him because I was having some intense staring contest with a girl sitting opposite me.
"Hhhhhhmmm...." I said contemplating his question. "Maybe a little at the back and a trim on the sides? Yeah babe, that would be extremely cute." I told him giving him a flirty smile so as to please him.
