Chapter Nine (9)

“Why haven't you done it?” I asked, sliding the key into the slot.

“No one had balls enough to help me.”

I opened the door, ducked my head and walked toward the empty desk. I reached inside my skirt pocket and pulled out the condom. I walked around and placed it on the computer chair, I knew she'd have to look there before sitting down. Then like lightening I ran out the room and shut the door behind me, my heart pounding heavily.

“I can't believe you actually did that,” Daniel smiled while shaking his head.

“You'd be surprised. I still can't believe you really ran outside in your boxers.”

“You'd be surprised.” He mocked, “Let's go to my dorm.”

I nodded and we walked to the third dorm building in silence. This was honestly the highlight of my day and I couldn't wait to see the headmistress' reaction to the item, she'd probably freak. He led the way while I followed, enjoying the delicate scenery of nature. When I saw a flower, I stopped. Wasn't it supposed to be dead? Especially in this cool weather?

Daniel stopped when he saw I wasn't following him and followed my gaze. He smiled when he saw what I saw staring at, “Oh, that. That flower is always the last to go. The janitor planted a few seeds of that years back, it's called the Orange Clivia. It's endangered, rare and very beautiful. Reminds me of a person I know.”

I blushed at the compliment and nodded, “It is really pretty.”

“Shall we continue to the dorm, my lady?” he asked formally, holding out his elbow so I could link mine to it. I giggled and connected my arm with his and he began walking. The trip was really short since he belongs in Campus A, the first building you stumble upon. It was also a boy dorm building so being there was awkward too. I really wasn't supposed to be there but no student really cares who should be where.

When we got to 25A, he opened the door and motioned me inside. The first thing that caught my eye was the inevitable guitar that stood on the wall. I walked over to it and stared at it in awe. “You play?” I asked. If there was one flaw I had it was that I was head over heels for a cute boy that can play the guitar.

He blushed and nodded shyly. “I'm not really that good though. I'm working on singing and playing at the same time,” he told me.

“Let me hear you,” I said handing him the guitar, he took it and sat down on the computer chair near the door. He got into a playing position and took a deep breath.

“Oh your eyes, your eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining. Your hair, your hair falls perfectly without you trying. You're so beautiful and I'll tell you every day. Yeah I know, I know when I compliment you, you wont believe me and its so, its so sad to think you don't see what I see. But every time you'll ask me do you look okay I'll say, When I see your face there's not a thing that I would change cause you're amazing just the way you are,” he stopped singing and put down the guitar.

“You're amazing,” I breathed and looked at him in shock. His fingers moved effortlessly across the strings and his voice was melodious enough to melt anyone's heart. “You really think so? Your opinion really matters to me, Alex.” he said, motioning me to sit on his lap.

“It is!” I exclaimed, grabbing his face and pulling him toward me. But then the door opened and the moment was disrupted.

“What're you doing here?” I heard Liam said, glaring at me.

“Well, if you can't tell from the obvious pose.” I sighed pulling away from Daniel and sighing deeply.

Liam rolled his eyes and sat on the bed in the right and laid down there, ignoring us both and throwing a small tennis ball at the ceiling. “You should go Alex, see you tomorrow?” Daniel asked, wrapping an arm around my waist and leading me out the room.

“Bye Daniel.” I smiled, kissing him on the cheek and walking away.

“Do you know why I called all you students here today? Because when I came into my office this morning I was met by the most vile thing to come into my sight-” she held up the condom and the auditorium erupted in laughter. I held in my laugh and looked at Daniel, who was laughing hysterically. “Stop laughing! One of you children did this, I've reviewed the video and so far I haven't been able to point out the culprit. But I promise you, I will hunt you down. Dismissed!” the headmistress threatened angrily.

I walked up to Catherine, who was supported on Keith's shoulder from laughter, and tapped her back. She turned around and smiled, “I want to meet the genius who did that! They will be my new best friend. I'm going to the mall now, you coming?”

I shook my head, “I have to stay after for detention.”

“Oh yeah, I forgot. See ya Keith, bye Alex.” she gigged, walking away.

“Dirty, rotten children.” I heard the headmistress growl, walking out the double doors. When she saw us she froze and then rolled her eyes. “Oh right, I forgot about you two. Follow me.” she sighed, leading the way into an empty classroom.

“This is one of our upper science classes. You are to clean up their messes, all the harmful substances have been disposed of so don't worry about that. Get to work,” she explained briefly then speed-walking away.

“Her mind is busy.” Keith smiled, walking over to the chalkboard and erasing the green board. I spotted a notebook sitting there on the table and began to open the cover when I felt something hit my back. I turned around and saw a dusty eraser on the floor, and I twisted around to find chalk print on my shirt. “Keith!” I shrieked in anger.

“Must have slipped out my hand.” he smiled. I hurled the notebook in my hand toward Keith's hand, and his head jerked on the board.

He picked up a pencil and threw it at me, which I gracefully ducked while laughing and threw a chalk I found on the floor. I looked around the floor looking for another weapon to lunge. I felt myself being pushed to the floor and I let out a yelp of surprise and looked up at mischievous blue eyes staring at mine.

“I like this position. We can accomplish many things this way,” he grinned.

“Get off me you sexist pig!” I shouted, pushing him off me. Odd thing was, despite my brief moment of being under the worst thing alive, I shocked myself by secretly . . . liking it.

Alright, I must confess. I am OBBESSED with Katy Perry's new song E.T. With Kanye West. Best song by her in my opinion. I'm also proclaiming myself a pervert because I keep replaying this certain part in Bruno Mars's new video for The Lazy Song ;)
