When We Collide √

Chapter 14

I didn't want to go home directly so I decided to go to my special place right outside school ......I was at the administration block heading towards the corridor that linked the soccer field to the main section.

I walked slowly still thinking about my detention with Amell ...it wasn't half as bad or terrible as I had anticipated it to be.....

"Hey Naye ..."

only two people my entire life called me that name

My mum and sometimes Kait

And now successfully added to the list ....Amell Gabriels

What the hell does he want for fucks sake ...I already spent practically my entire free time with him

I chose to turn behind ....just to look at his pretty face once again

"Ummm....do you maybe want a .....ri....de.....umm I was thinking maybe ..that...you....."

He was rubbing the back of his neck ....which I assumed was a gesture meant to relax him

Amell Gabriels looked nervous .....well this was sight to behold......

I let a small smile creep up my face

"Hey....."

Was all I managed to say

"Do you want a ride home ......"

"I'll consider that offer as a sorry for indirectly causing my detention " I said sarcastically

"Well you can consider it whatever you want ....I really don't care anyways "

Well he's back folks....

**note the sarcasm **oh and **eye roll**

"Well.....thanks but I'd rather walk home plus I'm not going home right now "

I tried to sound formal

"Oh ....."

That's all he said

"Plus I wouldn't want to be stuck in a car with you ..." I said winking and turned in an attempt to go

I immediately regretted my wink the moment he made strides towards me and closed the distance between us

His breath was literally fanning the back of my neck sending chills down my spine

Try to breathe Tracy ....he's just a boy .....I hopelessly tried to convince myself

A boy....damn it .....he is a Greek god

I failed miserably because my heart rate instantly escalated and I felt as though I was struggling to breathe

He was so close it was invading my personal space and I felt the walls closing in on me

I was rapidly losing my breath ...I have to keep on walking .....but I couldn't I was glued to the spot

"Hey....what's wrong"

I heard a soothing voice ask me

I tried to relax and turned around taking a few strides backwards

"Look thank you but I'd rather walk home ....but seriously thanks "

He looked at me and I think I saw disappointment in his eyes

"Cool "

Then he looked at me from my head to my worn out sneakers ....I felt belittled compared to his shining canvas boots

I looked down when his eyes met mine

"Bye Amell ," I said while avoiding his gaze and then turned to my heel not waiting for his response

I was finally a noticeable distance away from him when I heard him shout my name

" Naye ......bye....and by the way ....your hair looked amazing today "

He said and finally turned and walked away ......

I couldn't help but smile ......and to think I didn't even brush my hair today

And then it hit me hard

Someone called my hair amazing ....does that mean I'm pretty....

Don't take things too far Tracy ....he said amazing

I walked away deciding to go home after realizing it was 6:36 pm

But I couldn't stop thinking about what Amell had said
