Drowning

Chapter 1

November 19th , 2017

He is odd

his eyes reminds me of a cave that sucks you in , if dark was a color it would be ,however.i could swear i have seen a hint of blue in it when he was staring at the sky in art class last week.

gosh,i sound like a creep and i promise you i am not a creep..he brings out the curiosity in me.

it becomes so hard not to stare..not to want to stare.it confuses me how he tries to avoid eye contact.we haven't spoken before..i wish we had,but i have seen how he acts when someone else tried to,

the thing is, no one does.it's rare to see him with someone, sometimes it's rare to see him at all.he attends classes two days in a row and you don't see him for another two weeks..days if you're lucky.

"aviana, that is amazing did you just draw it" my friend casey nudged me cutting my train of thoughts "who's eyes is this, it looks so real.i'm telling you,you're the next 'guy who draw the night stars thing'" i coughed the water i was drinking 

"it's starry night,his name is vincent van gogh and no " she rolled her eyes at me 

"miss miller,am very sorry to interrupt , would you like to share with the class" oh hell no, mr smith-our chemistry teacher- aka grumpy head, that's what we call him and it's obvious why."it seems we have a picasso in our chemistry class guy" he snatched the paper i had drawn on from me holding it up and showing everyone as some kids laughed

oh how i wished i could disappear right now , or he wouldn't see it.i believed that nothing really amused him so that's a relief. i could feel everyone's eyes on me. i hated it, i don't crave attention. i would rather be under-dressed than be overdressed and people find me weird. 

"if you don't focus next time it's detention" he said with a stern voice, he crushed the paper and threw it in the crash can and my heart broke a little. the bell rang and everyone started leaving. 

"i'm so sorry avi bear, he is such an ahole if i could give him a taste of my fist" casey spoke while looking at mr smith with hatred as he left the classroom. 

"it-" he walks by me out of the classroom and i had no idea what i was going to say.i couldn't see his face but his hoodie has become remarkable.

"checking the loner out aye " she looks at me with a smirk on her face and i hid my face with my hands, why does she have to make such a comment. oh right she is my best friend. "honestly if you don't do something about it i'm going to have a talk with him" she warns me and my eyes widen.

 knowing her she would go 'if you don't talk to her and make her happy i will hurt you' and knowing him-not exactly knowing but he would look at her un-amused, it's funny how all her threats are empty but that's why i love her. 

"let's just go" i said holding my bag and welcoming the crowded hall of our high school.passing by some classes we found our way to the cafeteria, i haven't eaten since last night and it is noon 

time passes by i go to the rest of my classes and as usual i don't see him for the rest of the day.

"hey, my mom is giving me a ride come with me" haley , who lives next to me says leaning against the locker beside mine 

"no it's fine i have plans today" i give her an apologetic smile and she passes it back before leaving. i hate lying to her but i would like to keep my private place..well private, it's my time-out of this world 

i sigh and open my locker to put the rest of the books in and i glimpse something at the back that i don't remember putting, my hands reaches out for it and i gasp as i look at the blue eye i had drawn first class, it was strange the once crumbled paper was straighten now. i let out a relief as i held it close to my chest. i close the locker and look around me like a mad person, everyone was engaged in conversations,voice loud. until, i see someone at the end of the hall turn around giving their back to me
