After that hug that Chris gave me a few days ago, I somehow feel like he's been avoiding me. We haven't spoken to each other or even made eye contact with each other for a week. Did I do anything bad to him? Did I offend him somehow? I don't know, but I kind of feel hurt about him ignoring me. The old me would be shouting 'FREEDOM!!!', but the me now, after being so close to him would say 'Please don't be mad at me'... It's unsettling...
Walking back to my seat, George calls out to me, "Jade? Where's your 50 cents that our group had to pay from our dance performance?"
"Don't you remember? I already paid last week..."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes I did! I was even the first one to pay you." I pouted.
He looked up and came back, "Oh yeah!!!" Then Richard appeared out of nowhere and scolded George, "Don't you dare misunderstand my sister, okay?!" George was shocked to see Richard act that way, and so was I. After a few moments of shock and silence, Richard smiled and we all began to laugh.
At classes or breaks, I couldn't help but take a peek at Chris. When he's in a mood like this, he's so behaved. It feels so unnatural. He doesn't even dare to peek at me. What did I do to make him mad at me???

In the afternoon, we had a movie marathon. Our class watched a horror movie. I love watching and reading horror, but the movie itself was too much for me, I couldn't handle most of it. We had to watch Insidious Chapter 1. I don't want to have a heart attack and die from the fear!!!
While watching the movie, Erik sat beside me to keep me company. On every scary part where I cover my eyes, Erik teases me by also scaring me and poking my stomach. I didn't like how he was treating me. Tears started to escape my eyes because of the fear and the pain. I covered my face to hide myself, but Erik took my hands away. He was shocked to see me crying. So I laid my head on the table in front of me, not daring to watch the movie anymore.
Erik was still holding my hands. The next thing he did was weird, he placed my hands on his seat and sat on them! Maybe because he really wanted me to watch, but I didn't dare to look back up. When he let go, I wiped my tears away. He then began to bow down a little to take a look at my crying face, he then apologized to me and patted my head. He then sat up and whispered in my ear instead, "Sorry Jade... Don't cry anymore..." he sounded so worried, but I didn't dare look back up or say anything. In the end, he continued on to watch the movie and comfort me by just patting my knee.
Moments later, I still had my head down while listening to my classmates scream from the horror. Erik, who never stopped patting my knee, started to tip-toe his fingers on it. He then began to travel down my shin. This isn't right...
"Don't do that, Erik." I told him, but low enough so anyone else couldn't.
"What? Your knee is just so nice..." he whispered back.
You're not just touching me knee, you dum-dum!
He then traveled back to my knee, this time, caressing it. He then traveled further up until he reached my mid-thigh. What is he doing?! This is sexual harassment!!! Shivers flown through my entire being. It felt so scary and wrong...
He tried to venture in further, but I stopped him before going there. "Erik, where do you think this is going to?"
"It's just up until here." he said, marking my mid-thigh with his index finger, then continued, "You have wonderful knees."
"That is not my knee!" I whisper-shout at him and he just chuckles at me and goes back to rubbing my knee. A while later, he starts to go back up my thigh. I place up my hand in the middle to make a wall to block his hand away. As he starts to feel my hand there, he starts pushing it away. "Erik!" I scold him.
He backs his hand away, "What? I didn't do anything?!"
"Well, you were about to!"
He looks away and continues to watch the movie. I can still hear my classmates having a hard time enduring the fear. While I, on the other hand, am having a hard time enduring this perv over here.
I search the classroom for Chris. I don't know why, but my eyes wanted to see him. I found him at the end of the room, he was watching the movie with a bored expression on his face. I was still a little hurt on how he's been ignoring me, but I continue to look down.
Erik then shifted from massaging my thigh and knee to go to my shin and calf. The weird feeling still didn't faze. No matter how many times I tell him to stop or make him stop, he's too stubborn to listen to me. He then bent down and stopped watching the movie to stare at my shoe. He then lifted up the end of my jogging pants and started to caress my ankle! It felt sooooooo wrong!!!
I bit my lip to keep me from hurting him or just to hurt myself. Erik then turned to stare at me blankly. He was enjoying making me feel this way, and I was grossed out by it. I still try to make him stop, but he just carries on. I swear, if someone saw how red my face was right now, they'd be really confused, because, why is nobody noticing us??? (Well, they're watching a movie. Duh!)
When the movie finally finished, he stopped; we were all then advised to go back to our respective classrooms. I took the first advantage of walking out and being far from Erik. What has gotten into him? Why was he suddenly doing those things to me?! I don't get it at all!!!
I'm scared...

The week has passed, and I came to school as silent as a mime. I didn't want anyone to notice me for one reason...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAAAAAADEEEEE!!!!!!!!" my friends all shouted as I entered the room. I face palm but smile at them for remembering such a simple day.
I am only used to my family greeting me, but it's nice to know that some people would actually remember the day you were born on and give you that greeting...
"Thanks guys..." I smiled at my friends sincerely.
Other classmates who heard them shout that phrase to me, started to greet me as well. They were being polite, but once you didn't know when I was born on, that was proof enough that you didn't care about my existence. Me and my friends just spent the day talking through various topics, but it was fun.
Before the day ended, after days of waiting, Chris finally approached me! He looked at me and I looked at him. He looked away, a little embarrassed because I had hope in my eyes. He stood in front of me and scratched his head and greeted me, "Happy birthday, Jade. I drew this for you..." he said as he handed out to me a folded bond paper. I opened it up to reveal three guys and two girls on the left formed in like the were caught in a photograph, and one of the guys in the drawing on the right with a greeting beside it 'Happy Birthday!' with his sign on the bottom right.
He each pointed to the people in the drawing. The main guy in the middle putting his arm around a girl, he said was him, and the girl he's putting his arm around on, was me. He also pointed to the other two guys in the background saying they were Isaac and Thomas, and the other girl peeping out from the corner was Sam. LOL! Hahaha...
That gift was enough to make me blush, but him approaching me and talking to me when he didn't do so in days, was enough to make me smile and be very happy...
It doesn't imply that I've fallen for Chris, but rather, I didn't want a close friend to stop being close to me... You know the feeling, right?
After today, everything was a breeze...
