[align=center][size=8][font=georgia]Nailed it! I mentally praised myself, I managed to speak to him without stuttering but then again I wasn't really looking at him. I would glance over at him now and again when I spoke, but I wasn't staring at him. I wouldn't be able to do it. I was proud of myself for being able to speak without a single stutter, I nearly smiled but if I smile everyone will panic. Nobody in this school has seen a smile on my face, not one. Not even the teacher, now that should say something.
But his reaction to me speaking scared me, that look. I don't know if it was a good look or a bad look, it seemed stunned, shocked but I don't know if in a good way or a bad way. I bit my bottom lip, I knew I should have just kept quiet. Now he wasn't speaking. Was it because I spoke without a single stutter? I stuttered like a fool the first time I spoke to him and ever since I've been afraid to speak, but hey you've gotta speak up for yourself at some point.
Finally he speaks, thank god. I feel relived when he speaks, I thought he was just going to run but he spoke. He's understanding where I'm coming from, good I really didn't want to have to explain myself. Wait, he thinks my shyness is cute? Is there something wrong with him? Nobody at this school finds anything about me cute, sure some girls like my hair and my clothing style but that's it. Nothing else. So he does understand where I go the Mickey thing from, I still won't call him that unless he really wants me too. How does he expect me not to listen to them? They're all around me, and I don't need my ass getting jumped. I really don't.
Just as he started falling silent, the bell rang. Damn. He was quick to grab everything and run, Great, I scared him off. I thought just as Jenna slammed her hand down on my desk. "Look here Mouse freak, he's mine so back the fuck off or you'll end up uglier than what you already are." She snapped at me, her blue eyes holding such anger and determination to win Marty. Well since Marty ran off on me like that, I doubt I'll hear from him again. With a simple sigh, I shoved the last of my things in my book bag and zipped it. "He's all yours." I muttered, slinging my book bag over my left shoulder and shoving past Jenna and her crew nearly knocking Jenna on her face. I nearly laughed but held it in knowing it wouldn't be smart to laugh with her right there.
With a sigh escaping my pale lips, I headed off to my second period. Art. Finally, something I'm good at and I enjoy. I wonder where Marty is headed to next? I'll just be glad to eat, I pack my lunch and I'm starving. Eating school lunch seems like a bad idea, half the stuff they serve doesn't even look human but the kids here eat it so I guess it's half way decent. Stepping into the art room, I hear nothing but girls buzzing about Marty. Seriously? Rolling my eyes once more, I sit down at my seat and start pulling out my sketch book, colored pencils, and markers out. I prefer to use my own stuff rather than the schools, I don't need to go home and try to work on something without having the colors I need so I stick with what I have. I can't get the thought out of my head that I scared off the new kid, and just by speaking to him without stuttering. Now I remember why I don't speak.
Jenna was now running trying to catch up with Marty, her heels clicking away on the school floor. When she was close enough, she grabbed Marty's arm and pulled on it. "So cutie, where are you headed to?" She asked flashing that perfect white smile of hers.
