Off To Boarding School [013] Maybe It Was Impulse

I headed to my new found hell, which hopefully wouldn't take all day to find.
I was inside one of the newer, shiny, less-inviting buildings, desperately hoping the class would pop out at me.
The halls were empty and eerie, which I was glad for. Me plus crowded hallways always equals major embarrassments.
I turned the corner and spotted Ana, alone in the hallway with a yellow slip in between her hands which I guessed was her hall pass.
"ANA!" I shouted.
Not a good idea
A classroom door opened and an angry teacher head pooped out, she stuck one finger to her lips and shushed like there was no tomorrow.
Ana giggled and walked over to me.
"Hey Jenna"
"Hey Ana" I answered slightly embarrassed. "Hey you, why weren't you asleep in your bed last night?"
She giggled again.
This whole bubbly, giggly thing has got to go. It is too early
"I was with James last night."
I felt what I had been trying to force back, explode with a vengeance, leaving a hole in my chest. I quickly masked my pain with a look of fake cheerfulness.
"Hmmm, really? What did you guys do?"
Even though I could care less
Touchy much?
"Well Jenna, it was so romantic. We sat under the stars for a while and just talked. Then we headed back to his dorm and cuddled the rest of the night" she said with a blissfully ignorant smile planted on her face.
I swallowed hard, I could feel my eyes starting to prickle with heat.
"That's cute" I squeaked out before I completely exploded. "Do you know where this class is?" I asked shoving the paper in her face.
"Aw, you got sucked in with the smart kids? That sucks, I was really looking forward to our one class together" she said sincerely. "Well anyways just keep walking down this hallway and it should be somewhere on your left side" she added as she handed me back my schedule.
I nodded a thank you and made my way.
"Bye Jenna" she shouted gracefully over her shoulder, causing no disturbance.
I waved my fingers slightly in return.
I don't know why this is getting to me. I'm pretty sure I like Kevin more than I like James. James is a cheater, reckless, and obviously doesn't care about Ana.Kevin's sweet, understanding and adorable; if anything he should be ripping holes in my chest, not that sleaze James
If only you really didn't care about James
I gasped at the thought.
Could I really?
I walked past the classroom door in hopes of finding a water fountain further down the hall before entering hell.
The sight made my eyes widen and take a step back.
Perfect Timing
James was right there, bent over drinking water. He must've felt my gaze on him because he slowly looked up at me and gave an uncertain smile my way.
I had been spotted, there was no choice but to greet the ripper of holes.
"Hey" I said barely above a whisper.
"Hi" he said as he looked me over, which shouldn't have given me goosebumps, but since my heart wasn't paying attention to me, why should the rest of my body?
He looked me straight in the eyes and I couldn't help but melt into his emerald colored eyes.
"So what have you been up to?" he asked awkwardly.
"Fine" I answered quickly and curtly.
"Hmmm"
"Why?" I asked.
"Why, what?"
"Why, did you kiss me? You knew I was friends with Ana? Why couldn't you just break up with her first?!" I put my hand over my mouth.
That last part wasn't supposed to come out
He looked at me sternly, but then his gaze softened, it almost seemed like regret filled his sorrowful gaze.
"I'm sorry Jenna, I don't know why I did that. Maybe it was impulse. I don't know, just something about you made me want to reach out and touch. But then when I did, you bit back" he chuckled slightly, but his eyes still held resentment.
I stood there speechless, probably looking like an awe-struck teenager.
This is not supposed to be happening. He's not supposed to be apologizing or talking, he's supposed be acting like a sleaze. So why isn't he?
This isn't fair to Kevin, and you know it Jenna. Think of how much you'll hurt him, he already gave you a second chance
"Look James-"
"Jenna" he cut me off "I love Ana"
he said seriously, but the deep shade of regret and resentment remained in his beautiful emerald eyes.
Yet again the hole in my chest was ripped farther.
I nodded. I wasn't teary-eyed, nor was my jaw unhinged, just a bit numb.
I nodded and quietly made my way to my new classroom door.
"Hello you must be our latest arrival" the small petite lady with a neat black bob stated as she beckoned me to her desk.
"May I have your schedule?" I handed her the now crumpled paper I held in my hand "Take a seat please"
I looked around, the desks were set up in two big rows, each with five desk on each side facing each other. Every desk was filled but one on the left row at the end next to Deena.
I've met her before, in one of my other classes, she must ve gotten into hell too. At least I'll have company
I made my way to my seat pushing all emotional problems aside and planting a big ol' sincere smile on my face.
I'll deal with my emotions on my own time
sigh

DoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoTDoT

I took my seat next to Deena, I could see she was still strong on her protesting of um, I'm not quite sure but she was still only wearing Baby Phat.
"Hey Jenna" she greeted sweetly.
"Hey Deena, so have I missed anything?"
"Not really we learn for a while not the whole time though, and most of it is on hands stuff, so it's not that bad. It's actually really slack."
Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought
"Today we will reviewing the anatomy of mammals, you will read the chapters on them and take reading notes. Once I feel you are prepared we'll go ahead and dissect the rats I have prepared." the petite woman at the front of the room announced.
Joy. Rats
Deena smiled grimly at me.
"If we finish early we can start on Shakespeare and then you may have the rest of the day to yourselfs." the teacher finished.
I reached for the text book under my desk and began to work dilligently.
At least this'll keep me distracted
