"I heard you fought with a jock today"

Magic says with her normal flare of exaggeration, I just roll my eyes.

"I don't think we can call what happened today fighting, Magi"

She pouts as we sit at a bench in the busy cafeteria.

"You take the fun out of everything"

"Am glad you find my life as source of entertainment for you Magic, I am happy to be of service"

I say blandly and she throws me a smile before getting serious.

"You should be careful though,I also heard it was Jake, he's kind of dangerous and everything"

I roll my eyes again.

"It's fine Magic, am sure it's ok"

"Just be careful"

She says distractedly, I follow her gaze to see her gazing at a table of cheerleaders.

"You know you can go join them right?"

She gives me a look from the side of her eyes.

"It's the first day, I don't want to leave you to eat by yourself"

"It's fine, it's the first day, you should eat with your other friends, you are a cheerleader and everything"

I say with a small smile.

I really don't want to make her feel like she can't be with her other friends because of me.

"You sure?..."

I don't even finish nodding my head when she grabs her tray and moves , I just shake my head.

Typical Magic.

I bring out my drawing pad as I grab the apple on my tray.

I have been making many changes to the drawing of the flower since I started

I just know that in my dream I was in a field filled with these flowers.

I can't remember all the details but I know I was with some guys.

They loved me, I could feel it in the dream, they worshipped me.

I blink rapidly as I feel tears threaten.

What's wrong with me?, I hardly cry.

I close the drawing pad as I take a bite of my apple.

Am not taking a look at that thing again, really.

I stay like that for a while before succumbing and taking another peek.

We don't have a field of flowers in williamsville, well, anyone that I know of so It can't be around here.

I have to find out the kind of flower it is first.

Am not very good at identifying flowers and I definitely haven't seen this one before.

It's looks like a cross between a rose and a Lily.

What is it?

A Rolly?

A Liose?

I scoff.

Real creative Riley.

I almost groan then as I feel an headache between my eyes.

"Maybe you should check some books about flowers"

A voice says beside me and I startle.

I must have been really in my head because it's takes a lot to startle me, a real lot.

Am usually alert and I don't like been snuck up on.
It's disconcerting.

"Who are you?"

I ask rudely to cover up how upset that made me.

"I just suggested checking out some books about flowers, maybe it might help you with what you are looking for"

He says with an even tone, not even blinking at my rude tone.

For some reason that makes me feel a little ashamed.

" Yeah, thanks...."

I say with a low voice

" Can I see it?"

HE asks

"Pardon?"

I know what he is asking but am surprised he is asking.

For some reason I knew he would ask, he seems so familiar.

"Do I know you?"

I blurt.

"I don't know, do you?"

He asks me and blood suffuses my cheeks.

" Am sorry"

I say as I push the drawing pad towards him.

I look away to see Magic and the rest of the cheerleading squad looking this way.

When I look around I notice half of the female population looking this way.

Magic bugs out her eyes at me and I shrug my shoulders.

I don't know what's happening.

"Nice strokes"

He says and my attention goes back to him.

"What?"

"Your drawings are nice"

He says and I gape.

" You looked through them?"

I ask appalled.

"I just took a peek"

He says with a mischievous smile and my heart skips a beat.

I open my mouth to retort but the bell rings and he's standing to leave.

"You .... you ... you can't just look at people's drawings!, It's like a diary! "

I sputter and he through me a wink as he leaves.

"See you around Riley girl"

I blink at the empty space he just stood at.

"Who was that?"

Magic says as she approaches.

"You tell me"

I say to her and she nods.

"Trust me, I will be finding out"

She says and I shake my head.

"So what did you guys talk about?"

She asks and I shake my head again.

"Nothing, well nothing much"

I say and she sighs.

"Only you will seat with a hot guy and not say anything to him, I thought you liked hot guys"

She says with a mock growl and I poke my tongue at her.

"Real mature"

She says as we enter the only class we have together.

I smile but it drops when I realize something.

I never told him my name.

AN.

So I added a list of songs I play while I write.

I hope you enjoy them as I do.
