Mixed Feelings
Third-person pov
After taking some rest for like twenty minutes,Korah reluctantly got up from bed to go out.
“Are you alright?”. The school nurse who just entered,asked.
“Yes,I am. Just wanted to take some rest”. Korah answered with a small smile.
Almost everyone in this school seem nice enough.
Walking out with the sickbay, Korah looked around wondering where her department would be.
Korah
“Hey,please can you tell me where the department of song writing or something like that is?”. I curiously asked a girl who is struggling with the locker.
“Song writing?”. Her face looks confused.
I nod in affirmation. “Yes...I heard we have classes about what we love doing”.
“Oh..yeah”. She finally got a glimpse of what I mean. “Its on the forth floor. You can take the elevator then walk down,by your right”.
“Thanks”. I smile,walking away.
I sense her looking at me with pity but that doesn't matter to me. After all, we attend the same school.
I took the elevator as she described. Passing each class,there is a sign written boldly at the top of the door indicating the specific department.
I stroll down,seeing different students in each.
I heard a voice which made me pause to take a peep into the class from the window. The class is big enough that I can't be noticed.
It looked like 'Trevor' from behind but I couldn't see his face. If its him,he sure has a breathtaking voice.
I also sighted Dawn standing close to him.
She just wouldn't let him be.
Finally at the class,the sign was exactly what I've been searching for, 'songwriting'.
“Good morning”. I greeted the teacher,avoiding all the eyes staring at me.
“Good morning.. Are you new or something?”. He asked as he turn to me.
“Yes”. I answered quickly.
He nods,directing me to seat with the others.
“Looks like we ended up been together”. Someone whispered to my ears.
“Evan”. I turn. My eyes widened as I took a glance at him.
He grins. “Yep”.
I can't believe me and Evan are in the same class in talent department. Its like God deliberately wants us to meet.
“Didn't know you write songs”. I heard Evan whisper again,getting most people's attention because I'm new and i am already this close with him.
I tuck my hair to my right ear and smiled shyly. “Luckily, I am”. I swift back quickly to reply. He nod slowly,pressing lips together.
He is effortlessly cute. Trust me,he doesn't need to try hard.
Lectures went on for almost two hours without me noticing. Now I know that once you're doing what you love, you won't bother about the amount of time spent on it.
The Teacher gave us more hint on song writing of our choice couple with assignment to write a song on anything that comes to our mind which is going to be performed by the other students who sings.
That's quite cool.
“So..what are you writing about?”. Evan asked with full attention the minute the teacher left.
I laugh softly. “We're not supposed to tell each other about it”. I said in my nicest tone. “Besides, you will eventually hear it later”.
He stood with his hands in his pocket. Alerting me on how well built he is.
“That's right”. he looked down then up to me. “But you can at least show me some of your written songs right?”.
I turn to my books,searching one after the other for my jotter. “Here”. Tossing it to him, I notice someone walked in.
“Cute”. Evan commented after flipping through the pages. “Can I bring it back next time?”.
I nod with a smile as I stretch to see who walked it. Evan is literally standing in front of me,and with his height,it's somewhat impossible to see above him.
“What are you looking at?”. He followed my eyes,turning back to see his brother,Trevor.
“Bro!”. He called as he move closer to him.
“We need to talk”. I heard Trevor said,taking a glance at me then back to Evan.
“Uh..I'll just go now”. I press my lips together,walking out of their sight. I wouldn't want to spoil their brother time.
“Sure,I'll see you later”. Evan ended.
I felt my breath came back to normal the second I stepped out of the class. I was apparently holding it in for too long.
I should find Tatiana and tell about it. Taking a quick look at the class,they seem to be engaged in some serious conversation.
“Tatiana!”. I ran close to her like I haven't seen her today. “Heyy”.
She possibly heard me and turned swifty. “I was looking for you”.
“I was in department for song writing. Just down there”. I pointed to the enclosed class I recently left.
“How was it?”. Tatiana asked,poking me with her first finger. “How was it been in the same class with Evan...”. She asked,emphasising on his name.
I giggle loudly, covering my mouth so people wouldn't think I'm weird. “It was nice,really. I even gave him my song book,just a small jotter”.
Tatiana's eyes popped out. Honestly, I wish it she was the one in my shoes. She seem more excited than I am.
“What did he say?”. She asked without hesitation.
“umm...he wanted to say something before his brother walked in,he just said 'cute”. I bit my lower lip.
“Oh, Trevor. He just has his way of doing things”. She rolled her eyes. “He's always top in any test or exam yet cold as ice,I doubt he's attracted to any girl”.
“Not when I'm here”. I lean in to say,feeling different. “I'd definitely pass him in tests. And for been cold,its obvious”.
“We've been in the same class for roughly two years and I can count the amount of words we've said to each other... Also about the test scores,we'd see about that”.
Tatiana and I took the elevator back to class to wait for our next subject teacher. Lucky for Dawn,she's already back to her seat. I honestly won't spare her next time.
Hours rolled by and the faces of other students became pale due to tiredness.
“That's it for today”. Mrs Rodanim ended,slamming her books in unison as she sigh.
“Make sure to get ready for your upcoming test”.
The class murmur again at the word 'test' but immediately the bell rang,their faces lighten up.
Mrs Rodanim shake her head in frustration,walking out the class as she turn back to me.
“See me before you go,Korah”. She informed before walking out.
I blink fast. “Yes,Mrs Rodanim”.
“Did you do anything wrong?”. Tatiana whispered to me,looking worried.
I shrugged,shaking me head. “Not at all, I'll just go now” waving my bag pack to my back,I took a deep breath, going out of class.
“Should I go with you?”. Tatiana asked.
I smile and gestured for stay back before heading out to the hallway then to the staffroom.
“Here”. Mrs Rodanim brought out my dried uniform from her drawer, packed in transparent polythene.
Confusion flushed me as to why my uniform is no where but inside a teacher's drawer.
“I..I got wet and-”
“And exhibited your uniform for the entire school to see? Korah,we don't do things like that here”.
My face dropped,fidgeting with the rope from my track trouser. “I'm sorry”. Those words spilled out unconsciously.
Mrs Rodanim exhaled sharply. “Your uniform was almost trashed. You shouldn't be careless about little things like this if you really want to keep your stay here”. My esteem dropped drastically at her words. I could feel hot tears flow down my eyes which I couldn't seem to control.
“You are a unique girl,Korah. Not everyone get this huge opportunity you are given, I advise you use it wisely”. She ended, stretching the polythene to me.
I collected it as I wipe my eyes with my left hand. “Thanks Mrs Rodanim”.
She nod slowly, turning back to her laptop.
I held my uniform to my chest,walking out the staffroom with my eyes possibly red in sadness.
My face instantly drops at the view of other students passing by me. I wouldn't want to be seen as been weak. Lucky for me,I no longer have to go back to class so I went out of school immediately.
Bearing in mind that Tatiana would be waiting,I pause to go back but my feet wouldn't move.
I just want to go home at this rate.
Strolling towards the school gate, my mind came back to reality by the horn of a car following me for sometime now.
“Korah”. I heard a rather sturdy and deep voice.
“Evan”. I forced a smile,tucking a part of my hair to my back,the breeze seem to be doing a bit justice by blowing my hair to my face,making it difficult to see his face clearly.
The car looks so expensive no one would intentionally want to scratch because of its visible quality. The tinted glass made it totally impossible to see the driver,talk more of anyone at the back.
Guess that's why Evan lowered the glass to call me.
I seriously wasn't prepared for this, I look like a wimp right now.
“Get in”. He says. His eyes glowing from the sun as his skin look flawless been sun kissed.
I shake my head with a bright smile. “Its okay,I'll just take a bus,its not far from here”.
“I insist”. He unlock the door,attempting to come down. Other students seem to be staring at us this time.
“Evan, its okay..really”. I press,I honestly hate the glare of other girls at me.
He came out fully and I spot Trevor sitting at the other end,his head consecrated on his phone.
“Please..”. Evan pleaded with his hand on his chest. His hair moving to the song of the breeze.
I took a deep breath and went in,its better than been stared at intensively.
“I'll seat in front”. He said after slamming the door when I fully entered.
I'm now seating beside a grump,someone I might not talk to for my high school years here at Bingham.
Trevor seem to be interested in his phone than any other thing.
“I've gone through your songs and I must say,I'm impressed”. Evan glanced at me from the side mirror in front.
I blushed at his statement,slightly feeling a bit comfortable. “Thanks, I wrote that some weeks back”.
The car is alluring. The cool breeze from the air conditioner flooded the air,making me sink into the seat with pleasure. I low key don't want to go out of it.
“We could work together on a song if you'd love to”. Evan smiles,showing his super deep dimples again. I just can't seem to get used to his face. I wish he is the one seating next to me and not Trevor.
“Sure..I'd love to”. I ended with my eyes on the glass,staring at the well planted flowers right before the school gate. Everyone would love to experience a privilege like this or rather, I love to and I already am.
The pressure of getting some words from Mrs Rodanim left me as the cool breeze raped me,my eyes fixed on the right side where I wouldn't see Trevor.
“So uh..where do you stay?”. Evan asked,breaking the silence as the driver wouldn't dare to utter a word.
“Maryvee street. I'll just alight at the end of the road”. I replied quickly.
He nods,pressing his pink lips together.
Taking a ride down town is not so bad after all.. I just hate been a burden to anyone. My eyes explore the car,noticing how neat and comfy it is when I locked eyes with Trevor who finally took his head from his phone.
I quickly rolled my eyes elsewhere. He has this sharp piercing eyes that could make you tremble just by staring at you.
“Thanks a lot”. I thanked Evan,trying to open the door as the driver stopped the street before mine due to my request.
“You're welcome”. He said softly,waving his curly hair to the back which bounced back instantly.
Still struggling with open the door,I felt a hand stretched to click the lock open. Trevor must have noticed me struggling and probably wants me to get out that's why he helped.
“Thanks”. I whisper, avoiding his face as I came down quickly, facing Evan in front.
“Thank you so much”. I said again, the yellow sun brimming the spot I stood.
He smiles fully,showing his chalk white teeth. “See you tomorrow”. He ended,gesturing his driver to go on as I turn to leave.
I couldn't bear but feel grateful as I walk down the street. A mood of bliss filled my heart,creating room for more because I at the moment,do not feel less.
Trevor's image appeared to my head. His piercing eyes looked scary at the time,he obviously doesn't want to have anything to do with someone like me,and me either...
