Trapped: Ch. 6

Liberty (ironic I know), scowling at us.

"Give it here," she said eyeing the note.

I reluctantly handed it over and watched in horror as she walked to the front of class and opened the note.

"Let's see what couldn't wait until after school," she said smiling.

I could feel my face getting hot and I looked to my left at Yuki. His face was serious and his eyes were full of rage. Mrs. Liberty began

reading the note out loud (she skipped over his phone number). The whole class giggled and said their oohs and ahhs.

"Oh that's right Mr. Yuki is a new transfer student," she said laughing. "Everyone meet Yuki Balan. Please tell us about yourself besides what we already know due to this note."

Yuki slowly made his way to the front and gave a simple speech in his angelic voice.

"Um there isn't much to say that you don't already know. Well Yuki means snow in Japanese. I'm half Japanese and half Romanian. I know weird mix but I

guess it worked out well for me. The black streak in my hair is natural. I don't know how but it is. I transferred from Crestwood and I like girls." He smiled and

all the girls giggled and swooned over him. I could tell there were guys hating on him already. He walked back to his seat and smiled at me.

"How was that?" he whispered.

"Wonderful," I heard myself whisper back.

This can't be happening right now. I have a boyfriend in the hospital and I'm drooling over the new guy. I need to pull myself together.

After school I met Vicky and Mrs. Waters picked us up. We were notified that it'd be safe to sleep in our house by tomorrow. Vicky and I were allowed to go to

the house and get clothes. I got ready to go over to Yuki's house. I settled for lime green strapless summer dress with pockets and silver gladiator sandals. I

dialed his number and he picked up on the third ring.

"Moshi, moshi."

"Um is Yuki there?" I asked tentatively.

"Jazmaine is that you?"

"Yes."

"Oh I'm sorry. I'm just used to picking my phone up in Japanese."

"It's cool. So what's the address? I'm coming over now."

He told me his address and I was surprised because it was within walking distance of Gabby's house. It was fifteen minutes away.

"Okay I'll be there in about twenty minutes."

"Can't wait," he replied.

I hung up and jogged down the stairs.

"Where are you going all dressed up?" Asked Vicky.

"There's this new kid I made friends with today and I said I'd go over their house after school." I was careful not to mention it was a guy. Vicky would think I

was cheating on Derwin.

"Oh. Do you want me to drive you?"

"No it's real close by. I'm going to walk. I'll be back in a couple hours."

"Okay be careful."

I left Gabby's house and walked in the direction of Yuki's house. I got there with five minutes to spare. His house was a decent size
