Turning into 'That' girl

Chapter two: eye contact

I was walking in the hallway, looking around me. It was a boring school day because my testweek just ended and we didn't really do anything in class. Luckily it was holiday in two days time. Suddenly I was overshadowed by a tall boy. I looked up and saw these amazing eyes. He smiled and walked away. I didn't have the time to smile back at him, but it did make me smile. Unfortunately he didn't see that. I didn't really look much into it and went to my next class; economics. My bestfriend didn't have this class because she had chosen history. So this was the class were I was with all the guys. I walked into my classroom and sat down. Tom walked in and looked at me and smirked. He said: 'Heeee Katherinaa what up?' I looked at him weirdly and just smiled at him and said; 'Not much.' He laughed and walked to his seat. Katherina is my nickname. Only my close friends call me that. And all my usernames are Katherina. My real name is Katherine Aliya Hudson. So Katherina is made out of the first letters of Katherine and the first letter of my second name, an a. Not really special but fun. But I still found it weird that Tom called me Katherina. I knew who he was but how the hell did he know who I was. He was one of the popular guys. He was part of the popular guy-group consisting of Jesse, Jack, Ashton, Brody, Zack and Tom. Three years ago I had a huge crush on Jesse. And boy, did he know. Well first, all of his friends found it out, because I didn't really use the subtle approach; I constantly stared at him, tried to make eye contact at school dances, asked all of my friends if they knew if he liked me or not, but all was way too obvious and his friends of course knew I was in love. Weirdly enough, he didn't catch up the signals and had no idea I liked him. But then his friends made sure he did. Because i was very skinny back then and had no curves what so ever (ever other girl in my class did, but I was as flat as a table), every time I would walk past them they would start singing skinny love. This kept going on for a few weeks. Meanwhile I figured out he didn't like me, so I was over him after a while. But they just kept singing the song. And nicknamed us with 'JK '

Anyway that past as well, and they stopped doing that, thank god.

But now Tom all of a sudden knows my name again. I thought I was long history and definitely forgotten, but I guess not. I even heard Jack say: 'O look JK might be coming back.' Jesse just laughed it away and looked at me with a 'I am sorry look' in his eyes. I focused on the teacher and the rest of the lesson. When the bell rang I spurted out of the classroom and practically ran to the cafetaria, because I wanted to sit down this lunchbreak. I managed to get a chair and a table for our 'squad'. I sat down and looked around me. Suddenly my eyes met the eyes of the boy from earlier. He looked at me, smirked pulled his eyebrow up and smiled. I smiled too, then lifted my eyebrow, gave him a sassy look and then laughed. He laughed as well. Then we smiled, still looking at each other. When suddenly my vision was blocked by my best friend Madison. She said hi and I said hi too, but a little more dreamy then how she did. She looked at me, then looked behind her searching for someone that I was looking at, and then looked back at me again. She laughed and asked: 'What's going on here? What's his name?'

I laughed and said: 'You know me too well Maddie. First question; uhm nothing just a little eye-contact. Second question; I have no idea.'

She laughed as well, and all of our friends joined us at the table. The music, yes we have music in our cafeteria during lunch break (I know, sometimes it's nice, but usually the music sucks so it's not nice), started and everyone started talking. I didn't really listen and tried to look for that guy again. He wasn't sitting at that table anymore and I didn't see him anywhere else. Disappointed I sat back and listened to everyone, but secretly still looking for those eyes...
