She hadn't seen him since she had threatened him in the bathroom yesterday;
he was almost beginning to becoming an afterthought, or that is what she would say if she hadn't been running from him since the morning began.
As soon as the sun rose and she arrived at school, the first thing she saw was his face
Blank no expression, just like usual; it was almost like he was a robot
"Didn't I tell you to leave me alone? Do you really want to die that badly?"
"I have no objections if that's what you wish to do, but I know you won't do it"
"And why the hell is that, huh?" She asked, clearly yawning, too tired for this conversation so early in the morning.
"Because I don't think you will"
"Thats such a stupid answer"
"You can think what you like"
"I should have stayed home today; I can't deal with this right now." With this, she walked away from him, her hips swaying lazily as she walked into the school.
Hoping she wouldn't see him again
She did
As soon as the first two classes finished and she was walking to the next, he appeared again, this time walking beside her
"So, how was class?" She would think he was genuinely curious if his face and voice didn't show he wasn't.
"Didn't I tell you to leave me alone, like multiple times?"
"You did"
"So why are you still here? Do I have to tell you again? Well, here".
"Leave me alone." Before he could say anything, she walked off. She was way faster than him, so she lost him pretty easily, managing to enter her next class unbothered.
He had to give up right
Wrong
Each time she would leave a class, he was somehow there walking with her, talking to her in his weird monotone way.
She was getting more and more annoyed by the Second
She tried to hide, but he still somehow found her, no matter if it was in an empty classroom or a supply closet
He would always appear with that blank, questioning look, like he wasn't the one stalking her
And when she told him this, he would just look at her before replying
"Am not stalking you, why would I do that, I just want to know why you're so angry, no I guess that's not even the right word for it anymore, it would be better to say irritated ?"
"Right?"
She always chose to ignore him and just run away, after all she was faster than him, so much faster
To the point where she would turn a corner just as he reached the same hallway she had just been in
But even that wasn't enough, she didn't know how but the little bastard always found her
She was really beginning to think he had a tracker on her but that wasn't possible she would smell that from a mile away especially with his tempting scent on it
The only time she would actually lose him and get some peace was when his friends came and grabbed him
And even then it wouldn't last long as he would soon find her again only this time she could fully smell him coming
And when he found her he was covered in blood, his own blood, there were cuts all over him, his eyes were either black or blue and his uniform was mangled
But even then his face displayed no emotion, like he was numb to it all, the pain, the humiliation, all of it
When he found her like that she really couldn't take it anymore the smell was too strong, she had to get him to leave her alone
Looking him in the eye completely ignoring his bruises she asked "You just don't listen do you?"
"I think my ears are bleeding so no, not really"
His answer completely stunted her, she was being completely serious and he was taking it as a joke. No, it wasn't a joke just looking at his ears told her that
But still his tone made it sound like one, it was too flat, empty
"I know your fucking ears are bleeding that's why I want you to leave me the hell alone" No matter what she said it looked like it just wasn't getting through to him
Even through the shouting he just looked at her blankly, tilting his head saying "Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen, so why not just tell me why you're so frustrated"
"You're here and I'm telling you to leave, why the he…" but before she could even finish her sentence she had an epiphany
That must be the reason, it all made sense now
She wasted no time giving words to her epiphany "Wait, you have a crush on me don't you, yah that must be it, that's why you've been following me around like a baby duck, you had a crush on me!"
Her face twisted into a big smile as she pointed at him, it was so obvious how she had not figured it out sooner
Well that didn't matter now because she had and she found it hilarious but ultimately she had to end this phase
"I'm sorry dude but it's not gonna happen, not only are you not my type but this isn't really how you approach a girl, it's kinda weird"
As she said this his face for the first time since she had seen him contorted to show an emotion but it wasn't the sadness or even anger she expressed but confusion
He was genuinely confused about what she was saying as if it was completely out of the realm of possibilities
"I don't have a crush on you" he stated flat his voice holding no worry or anxiety, as you would expect someone to feel in a situation like this
"The why the hell would you care if I'm upset" he was definitely lying to save some pride
"Because I want to know."
"Yeah because you have a Cush on me"
Seeing he was getting nowhere he decided to just ask the main question again "Why are you upset"
"..."
And this time he actually got a different answer
