I've heard a lot of cases that a person might be inlove with people in the most tragic events. You see- stockholm syndrome is an example, where the victims of their kidnappers will fall inlove with them during the process, they say its something weird about your brain that you become independent with someone that you'll never fall inlove with in the normal circumstances. You might be thinking-- what is Math babbling about? i'm not saying im inlove but I am definitely having a crush with our knight and shining armor. I mean, he's cute and all-- but its his kind heart that really tugs my little fragile one.

Especially, when he's here right now beside me and treating my bleeding fricking knees-- and looking beautiful at the same time. He's been talking for 10 minutes straight and all I can hear is the birds chirping outside, the old love song in that radio and my crazy beating heart. I'm so afraid that he'll hear my heart too since its beating a bit too loudly--
355Please respect copyright.PENANAyqgvyZiP6q
"Hello? I said what classes do you belong?" he asked, his face confused because he's been asking me questions and im here just staring at him like a scary stalker you read on books.
355Please respect copyright.PENANA0ks4XvyKHd
"Uhm-- um, the first section, room 200." I said, i dont know why I'm a bit nervous talking to him but I started to feel the burning sensation on my cheeks again-- and no, im not nervous this time or scared, i feel like i'm a bit shy.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAA2uxX0MvHQ
He smiled, "I like how you braid your hair-- its cool." he said, and then proceeded to put band- aid on my knees gently,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAzUS7B7gzzW
My skin feels these tiny tingles everytime he touched it. HE COMPLIMENTED BY LONG BRAIDS OMG. i need to calm down.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAuSu5wpM4dV
"Does it still hurt?" he asked, feeling a bit worried with my reaction.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAkJfaFPWxyE
NO IT DOESNT HURT, IN FACT I DONT FEEL THE PAIN AT ALL-- ALL I CAN FEEL IS HOW THOSE PRETTY FINGERS OF YOURS ARE JUST SO DELICATE WHEN TOUCHING MY KNEES.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAbJ6ye0GVTS
"A little bit." I lied, afcourse what am I gonna say to him? That im sensitive with his touch?
355Please respect copyright.PENANAKcs7NcBSct
"Well, that'll get better soon." he said, reassuring me. "Rest here for a bit, before you go to your next class. Okay? I'll hand over your pass to your homeroom adviser later, so dont worry about it." He added,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAC2SoqedEaC
I just nodded shyly. IM SUCH A SOFTIE or is this considered flirting? NO, MATH STOP--
355Please respect copyright.PENANABvNzkE5wAP
"Oh, and if you have any problems with that girl or someone whose bullying you. I'm always here to defend you." and then he smiled,
355Please respect copyright.PENANApDtoW1PNwx
AND I THOUGHT I JUST HAD A MINI HEART ATTACK WITH THAT STUPID SMILE OF HIS,
He's already walking out the room and I was worried for a second that I havent said my gratitude,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAcKW3Vs0751
"Uhm.. w-wait.." I said, WHY IS MY VOICE TREMBLING, WHY
355Please respect copyright.PENANAVAzmkQP32y
He stopped and looked at me, I think hes in a hurry because classes already started,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAQlgTbmhFSk
"T-Thank you..." I said, looking away so that he can't see my burning cheeks,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWGuBwlsy
"Your welcome, and btw its Jack." he said, giving me again that soft smile.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAFNHN5qPhO8
He turned around and went to the door.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAdscXg1mnfQ
Thank God! He didnt ask my name, I was worried that--
355Please respect copyright.PENANAEbU0n7mUIT
and then he came running back, his face a bit worried.
355Please respect copyright.PENANA9Juc8uJwMw
"Uhm.. I havent asked your name." Jack said, "That's just rude of me." He added,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAOEBdp4kgj8
Oh, okay. I just realized from this point in my life that God has already forsaken me. It's a first time that I actually liked a boy, and now he's gonna laugh and just think im a regular nerd after hearing my stupid name.
355Please respect copyright.PENANA1R5w2TJcpx
He was patiently waiting for my answer, and just stood there waiting for me.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAKdBhQM321U
"Please dont laugh, my name kinda sucks so--
355Please respect copyright.PENANA0juozIKkWr
"Lol, no. I wont." He said, I can see that hes in a hurry and I'm here wasting his time and effort,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAcEeTAQBBqz
"Its Math. Okay!!" I said, and I covered my face because I cant bear to see his next reaction.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAkBBOUanwmj
"Oh." He said,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAYkcqpktzHl
OKAY IM DEFINITELY GONNA DIE OLD AND SINGLE.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAGpLgyDdsWG
"Like the subject? Math?" he asked a bit curious.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAnoJT6wVutG
I just nodded.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAKn1rtg7rxj
"Well, its a pretty name and I find it unique so-- you dont have to be embarrassed bout it." He said, when I look him in the eye. I can see that he's not even making fun of me. He actually thinks that its pretty?
355Please respect copyright.PENANALQcjaxADmD
I was confused.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAyPB3ESotFv
"Well, bye Math-- I think im gonna be late for my next class. I'll see you after class, okay?" He said while smiling, and went out the door.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAXZb7heozcV
And my heart just dropped.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAgUOWlhG8bd
No, God havent forsaken me. Not yet.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAOYhRqlwIBs
And I collapsed on one of the nurse's beds, and I thought maybe.. just maybe, things arent not that bad.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAZrxDoEPHUv
I didnt realize that I was too tired of the following events that I began to doze off and fell asleep with a smile in my face.
-------
I woke up and surprised that im in the nurse's office and thats when events came flashing back in my mind. Zeke yelling at me, me crying on that wet floor in the staff room, mean girls bullying me and meeting Jack... Jack?
355Please respect copyright.PENANAc9MIoc60gT
Wait, what time is it!? Jack said I should go back to my next class after I'm well rested. I checked the time, and I was so shock that my eyes widened.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAjVcOUf4J5k
I slept for 2 hours straight and I just missed 2 classes, no 3 because the last period just started. OH MY GOD. I only have one period pass, and I just missed fricking 3 periods. I'm so messed up.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAYIIdGfb2Zq
The nurse went in and saw me, "Well, I guess-- you dont have an excuse to miss 3 periods? I can see the shocked look on your face." she said and sat down on her table, she's really pretty. She has these one of those model figures, slim bodies and a pretty face.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAbdVidhGghE
"Uhm.. what am I gonna do?" I asked, I was praying to God that I hope I wont get detention for this.
355Please respect copyright.PENANA6fMRhG3irh
"Ask your homeroom teacher then." she said while reading a model magazine,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAVeOTF9kQhB
I immediately packed my stuff and arranged my hair and got out of the nurse's office.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAwhVHuRF3x7
When I arrived on the faculty room, I felt that slight tingle of pain on my knees. I cant even walk properly without flinching. I guess i'm actually badly bruised like Jack said.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAaPSd0rx0BV
Oh Jack! He said he'll be going to see me after class, and I'm not even on my class. He's gonna be dissapointed to me.
355Please respect copyright.PENANABPBroTG9pN
"Ms. Kurosawa? What is it?" Ms. Smith saw me first, as I stood in the Faculty room's front door and absent minded. I have to stop thinking too much information at once,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAkQsFP9kMyL
I explained her what happened, though I left out the details about bullying and just said that I fell on the stairs because of clumsiness and went to the nurse office, I had a pass for just one period but I actually missed 3 because I fell asleep.
355Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZSXXpiotU
"Ms. Kurosawa, you know exactly what is gonna happen to you. Skipping class is a major offense without a reliable reason. So, here's your detention card and proceed to the next building." she said and then she looked at her phone, she doesnt really care about her students huh
355Please respect copyright.PENANA026V5J9oJd
"But--
355Please respect copyright.PENANAEEhTWKVaJx
"No buts. Out now." she said giving me a glare, I hate her.
---
355Please respect copyright.PENANAwD6PfsT4bY
It was a cold room and some old lady which I think is the detention adviser signed my card and made me proceed to this horrible room, she said I should clean it for 2 hours and she'll sign my card.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAzJtgSKEanM
I can see that its an old library whose been in this school for ages. The shelves are dirty and the floor is just dampened with water thats been coming from the ceiling. Well, this is great.
355Please respect copyright.PENANABk7pkQOMVn
I took a dust feather and began cleaning, I keep coughing because of the heavy dust thats coming out in the bookshelves. Then, I heard some heavy footsteps nearby and I was just shooked by the thought of seeing a ghost inside since I'm all alone.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAKjtD7pku00
Well, its not impossible since this place is obviously somewhere along the lines of being 'Haunted'. This is where all those character in a horror movie end up dead somewhere.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAsZvHcENxoe
I was obviously more creeped out on the thought of a real person going to murder me here so. I went and looked where the sounds came from. This old library is a maze and tall shelves are everywhere so it was hard for me to look where the source of the sound is,
355Please respect copyright.PENANAu43ur8BS9z
and then I heard that small thuds again. I began to ran from where the sounds came from before its gonna be gone. I was so surprised that someone just popped beside the shelves that im standing, it was a black figure.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAh6V8o2EljX
And out of nowhere, I just screamed. AND THE FIGURE ALSO SCREAMED. IT WAS A BOY'S VOICE. I was so creeped out that I screamed again,
355Please respect copyright.PENANA7jshXfTKZO
Then a flash of light blinded me, he was carrying a flashlight.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAn4xJRLAjoE
"KUROSAWA-- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE AND POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE, YOU FREAK!" I was so surprised that I havent noticed that it was actually Zeke.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAyYLfmswV1u
God, I prefer to see a murderous monster than this devil.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAojBuWJwslB
I can see his face that is burning red, he was so embarrassed because the way he also screamed. I cant help myself but to cover my mouth because I'm gonna start to burst out laughing. I can see that he's sweating all over and he's just a little scaredy cat, he's obviously looked more terrified than me
355Please respect copyright.PENANA1xniztczwB
He's just a coward for scary stuff.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5TJOp3vlT
