APRIL

April!!!....i heard my name down the hallway and knew instantly it was my best friend Kirsten. It was an obvious thing she was happy to be back in school, i was also but not until i saw him. Kirsten approached me and kept on talking about how superb her summer was without even caring if i was listening or not.
"Are you listening to me at all " Kirsten asked narrowing her gaze.
"ooh am sorry what were you saying "
"hey girl what is wrong "she asked
"he is schooling here now "I said with a sigh.
"wait, u mean Nathan "she asked and I replied with a nod.
"Right now moving again is not something on my to do list now, it was hard to adjust to life here after moving because of him before and i so don't want to do it again. You know what, let's get to class first, I just hope we won't have to be in the same class all the time ...gosh I feel an headache starting" I said.
We turned to go when someone called from behind, we both stopped and turned and there stood before me ,a new face but an awfully cute guy, with his cool green almond shaped eyes staring at us. His shoulders were broad and with just a glance of his abdomen i figured out he had nice abs, I stopped my gaze from going any lower and instead concentrated on Kirsten's hair she had added some curls to her blond hair and she had used red tint on the tip. I was jerked back to reality by a sonorous deep yet nice voice,i looked up and my gaze met with his.
"Hey am Elroy, you can call me Roy"he said stretching forth his hand, I shook his hand and smiled .
"Am April" i said.
"Your hand is as pretty as your voice and face" he said giving the back of my hand a slight rub with his thumb and a wink. My heart would have gone pit-a-pat if we had met few months back but right now i just wanna get to class and get my head on my locker.
........................ .
It was time for lunch, Kirsten and I both sat at our usual spot. It had been a stressful day. I was grateful Kirsten volunteered to go get our food so I just sat down. It was taking a while so I decided to go help her, I was walking then stopped short on my way and there stood right in front of me... Nathan. I felt cold running down my spine and beaded sweats forming on my forehead as memories came flashing back to me, my adrenaline screamed at me to do something but that was what got me out of West high. I wanted to get at him right there and then, i stood rooted to the ground and watched as he made his way towards me i was screaming for him not to come any closer but my screaming was in my head i really hoped and prayed for someone to just help me out or something, and then I felt a muscular hand on me pulling me away. I didn't know who it was or where I was being led to but I allowed myself to be led away .
......................
My wobbly knees made me give in as I sat down holding the plastic cup in my hand, it contained whatever coffee he said, i tried taking it but that was not what I needed. I needed something strong, any strong alcohol.
"Are u okay" Elroy asked staring down at me .
"yeah am fine, i was just not myself for a while, am okay thanks" I said brushing off the teardrop that fell from my left eye.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" he asked
"I don't even know you. Thanks once again, i promise to make it up to you" i said and handed him the cup of coffee.
"Really? Am going to hold on to that statement, so just know you owe me" he said.
Just then Kirsten showed up just in time, was happy cos i really needed to be with a friend right now
"I have been looking for you" she said".
"I saw Nathan inside. Did you perhaps meet?" she asked with horror and concern written all over her face. I nodded
"We will talk about it later" I murmured.
Kirsten greeted Elroy and we left, Elroy had some thinking we were not aware of, he intends to......
