Chapter 2 There it was. Everything I hoped wouldn't happen. No one was staring but people were definitely talking. Glances were thrown my way but nothing that lasted more than a second. I could hear them whispering my name, repeating my story, passing it around the school. One by one, eventually no one will be oblivious to my story; they were bound to find out one way or another. It was inevitable. The day droned on and yet all I could think about was that boy. The mystery boy. The boy that had stared right through my soul. Searching for something, something not visible to the human eye but there just the same. There was something about that one boy that caught my attention; I was used to people staring but this was different. He wasn't staring because he knew, he was staring because he wanted to know. Something tells me it's not just my story he's so intrigued about. Finally the day ended; one day down just the rest of the year to go. My mind was still fixated on that one boy, nothing could nudge my train of thought, not even when I came home from school and spoke to my mother, not even when my parents had yet another argument; screams filling the house. All I could think about was the boy. He was nothing special just an average looking boy, not popular but not alone, just simple and that's what frightened me to death. X X X I hardly slept last night, still entranced by the boy. Today as soon as I woke up I convinced myself that there was no way he was staring at me, he was just a figment of my imagination, pure fiction. I couldn't waste time thinking about him today I have enough homework to do and I've already got a Shakespeare exam within the next few weeks. Let's just say Shakespeare's not exactly my strong point as it is, so I should use all the time I can get learning about him instead of fantasising about some boy I haven't even spoken to before.
