CHAPTER 16.

Sarah's POV.

It's your road, yours alone.

People may walk with you but

Nobody will walk it for you.

∞∞∞

My worst time was always calculus and now it's been a little decent since James joined my school from mid sem. I think he did take calculus since I was in here because the last time I knew he had a subject left to choose. I'm pretty sure he took this class because he would have my company in this class. He seemed to like my company. He has been sitting next to me and has been nothing but extremely sweet to me, also he has been throwing pick-up lines here and there!

Okay, he does that a lot.

And that weirdo freaks me out even if it was a lame line.

Not that I like it but its quite funny and it's been a few weeks now so I think I'm okay with it now.

"Hey? You done with the work?" James asked in a whisper.

"Nope!" I hissed. Yeah, I am irritated and I am hungry.

"Calm down. Jeez, women, you're so grumpy!" He laughed lightly.

"Just hungry!" I offered a small smile.

"Aww, do you have raisins?" He asked with sincerity.

"Of course not!" I said while solving the equation. What does it have to do with raisins??

"Ok so how about a date?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

"That's a funny one!" I laughed almost in a whisper. The look on his face changed as if it just ruined his way of asking on a date.

"Oh c'mon, you can't be serious!" I gasped inaudibly but dramatically.

Go ahead, Sue me for it. I don't care.

"Oh yes, I am!" He says.

"Oh you, I don't even know the real you, you just keep throwing around the damn lines all the time it's almost as if I don't know the real James. You get my point!" The bell rang just on time to avoid the conversation.

"Okay so umm, in lunch you can ask me all that you want." He said walking out of the class with me and I nodded in the response.

"I'll come to sit with you and we can talk. Just know I am serious about asking you on a date." He said and walked away with a smile.

I groaned knowing this can't be undone and we are eventually going to talk about it. He has been sweet with me but am I even ready for another relationship? I sighed and walked away to my next class. It was 3 lectures until the lunch break.

.

.

I sighed when the bell rang for the break.

Finally, it was food time.

C'mon, I am hungry, you would be too if you had to sit for school.

Also, I loved eating. I am kinda sorta always hungry!

Anyways. I sat with all of my friends at the break. We sat there and watched the jocks make a scene like always. They had to scream and brag about how the football team is in appreciation.

Jerks. Assholes. To tell you, all the guys just showed off their quality of being a playboy! Their personality literally screamed PLAYBOY.

Also, IDIOTS.

Again also, JERKS.

THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON.

They were being assholes to a freshman. Poor guy, they made him take their books to the library. Just as Zack was about to go get them on track, James beat him to it.

He frantically moved his mouth and hands to them letting the freshman guy off their hook. We couldn't hear him but by the looks of it, I could understand that whatever it was that he said to them it worked and he walked towards our table or rather he walked towards me.

Oh crap. The date.

Shit. I am an idiot how could I forget.

He is gonna sit with me for lunch!

Crap again.

"Hey Angel, smitten?" He smirked.

"Oh please, don't flatter yourself." I scoffed and he just smirked in return.

I kept eating because honestly, it was a cheese sandwich for crying out loud.

I heart cheese, okay.

"Hello, do you mind if I sit here?" He asked generally.

"Yes, of course, you can. You're Sarah's friend that means you're our friend!" Ellie said smirking noting everyone's reaction, which was simply a glare from all. Ellie loved annoying everyone. For the sake of her this hobby, she let James sit with us. Zack gave him a cold gare and awkwardly nodded while James nodded in return.

Ouch, too much cold stare.

BOYS HAVE INFLATED EGO AS WELL.

Rest of them stared each other and passed time on the mobile and occasionally gave looks here and there mainly to James. I knew what everyone thought of him, the group chat was meant for everyone to know that Zack, Nate and Abbott had literally stalked him.

They seemed to blow him off even before he could try anything.

There is something fishy.

"So, why did you shift here in the middle of the term?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, I was wondering the same!" Rose asked and Ellie raised her eyebrows.

"Umm, a family requirement!" James answered.

"What kind of family requirement?" Nate asked.

"Umm, it's kind of personal, sorry I can't say!" James shrugged.

"Already keeping secrets now, aren't we?" Zack said in a cold voice and raised his eyebrows to me.

What could this secret possible reason be?

This cold glare/cold war lunch was finally over when the bell rang. Thank God for that.

Everyone went for their class and I tiredly walk to my locker. I needed to hurry otherwise I would be late for my class. I sighed when I shut the locker a little too loud for anyone's liking. It could easily be classified as banging, to be honest.

"Hey, so what about the date?" James sneaked behind me suddenly.

"I think I'll pass your offer since I have to babysit!" I said.

"Oh, c'mon you're doing this deliberately." He whined.

"Don't whine you girl! See you later. Tadaa" I literally had to run for my class since James decided to take my 2 minutes. I reached just in time, my professor was about to enter in a minute but since I had a minute I decided to reply to my mother.

Mum xx: I hope you'll be fine babysitting Cheryl today? Xx

Sarah: Will do Mum xx Love you.

Mum xx: I love you too hun!

The rest of the day went by very quickly and I was hella hungry and also tired. The only thing on my mind was good food and home!

And James and his reason, long forgotten.

Phew...

_____

What do you think about the pickup lines and gestures of James?

Ps: I am waiting for it to evolve more.

Are boys always like this cold stare and their behaviour?

Oh well, why do you think Sarah ditched the date?

I love y'all 💙
