Chapitre 12: C H A P T E R - X I I
I nearly jumped at his deep gruff voice and like a deer caught in headlights, I looked at him with wide eyes. He screamed trouble and mischief and I wanted nothing to do with him. I twirled the end of my shirt nervously and turned to face my canvas ignoring him entirely. He gave me not-so-good uncomfortable vibes.
Please God don't let him kill me.
"Are you ignoring me bunny?" He muttered in a low voice, leaning towards me slightly and I still refused to look at him and continued to sketch. He will just get bored of me and leave me alone soon.
"The name is Clade" He whispered after a couple of seconds, I couldn't understand why he couldn't take a hint and still was continuing to make an effort while I was ignoring him. I felt bad. This was the same as when I used to talk to other people and they'd ignore me. Omg, I'm a horrible person.
"M-my names..Alara" I uttered after a few seconds nervously and twiddled my fingers. The corner of his lips turned into a smirk, his eyes sparkling with fun and amusement.
"Oh, so the bunny speaks" My cheeks heat up at his remark and I looked down at my shoes. Oh- the strings had loosened. I bent down a little on my seat to tie them up so I don't trip and fall later, there done. Ouch- The whole table wavered when I hit the back of my neck on my desk and looked up with a gasp.
Frick! It hurt. Rubbing my head, I glanced at Clade to see him holding in his laughter. Meanie. Twisting my lips, I turned towards my canvas pressing hard on my head, ugh, I feel a bump forming, stupid!
Clade then, thankfully, left me alone and didn't bother me the entire lesson and it was just 5 minutes left until it was over and I was free. Thank God.
I couldn't help but feel like a terrible person. I always wanted to make friends and he was doing the same thing. Whenever someone ignores me, I feel like crying, does he feel like crying? Does he feel bad like I do? Does this make me a bad mean person?
Peeking at him, I watched his face carefully but there wasn't a hint of sadness or tears, he just looked plain bored occasionally glaring at the boys when they turned to look at him. Ok, let's just leave this alone and I will be nice like I am usually, if he tries to talk to me again.
Yeah, that's perfect, should I apologize for being rude? I bit my lip, twirling the end of my braid and the hem of the shirt with others considering to apologize but then I shook my head, eh, he probably doesn't even care and I'm in no mood to make a fool out of myself.
Yesterday Elijah bumped into a boy and didn't apologize to him. I don't need to either for something as simple as that.
Right?
Glancing at my wristwatch, I groaned banging my head quietly on the table. There were still three minutes left and I had finished my piece 10 minutes ago. This was boring.
"You are a very talented bunny", Clade muttered to me looking at my painting with awe and a smile. He looked at me with a smile and I brightened up. This was the first time ever someone has appreciated me. My mom used to sneer and tear up my every artwork.
"Thanks" I murmured shyly giving him a small smile while he nodded at me flashing me a smirk/smile.
"See ya around bunny" He gave me a light salute and just like that he picked up his bag and left the class, the teacher not even bothering as he just kept conversing with other students. I glanced at his canvas and found it empty. Um- did he not heard the teacher? Well, it's none of my business.
I shrugged and cheered to myself happily when the bell rang. Yay!
Time to get back to my friends.

I sighed happily when I succeeded in finding the dorm building without any trouble. I couldn't wait to get rid of this stupid extra-large uniform. I was so sticky and sweaty, ugh. This needed to be washed as well. I rubbed the back of my head putting pressure on the bump that got bigger since the last time and winced when it hurt. Of course, it does stupid!
"Why are you rubbing your head?" I jumped out of my skin when I saw Elijah casually strolling towards me looking like a Greek God and here I was resembling a drenched cat. I hope I don't look like how I feel.
"Nothing, I just banged my head on the desk" I shrugged and he gave me a blank look before pushing my hand away before checking and poking it. Ok, I didn't know he was also a part-time doctor as well.
"Don't touch it, it will go away on its own, does it hurt?" He asked concernedly and my heart skipped a breath and I shook my head.
We walked side by side in silence, me occasionally tripping over literally air, and him hiding his smile. I immediately opened up the door, bouncing on my bed happily. Elijah walked in placing me and his bag on the chair before removing his tie and shoes. You could learn manners or two from him you uncultured swine.
My inner self mocked me while I ignored her but got up anyway. Wouldn't want to get my bed dirty. I picked up my toiletries bag and new clothes and left after waving at Elijah who nodded at me laying on his bed.
I quickly get inside my cubicle locking the door behind me before doing my business. I got dressed in my sweat pants and shirt, picking up my uniform from the hanger and put my hair up in a turban, and got out of the bathroom.
Putting my uniform and a couple of my laundry inside the washer, and went towards the basin to brush my teeth.
All done! I was about to get back to my room when I was stopped by a couple of rowdy-looking boys.
"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in"
Uh-oh.
