"Calvin never had the will to ask for help. He stayed quiet when he struggled and prased everyone else's achievements except his own." I told my friend Sylvia as we opened our twelfth bag of chips. "He just can't rely on anyone. Not even me! He is nothing like anyone else. He is unique and those emerald eyes captivate me. He's just too stubborn. It's annoying, and insulting. It feels like he doesn't trust me."
"When you think about it like that its easy to forget he was abandoned by everyone he ever loved. Lily, you can't compare him to anyone because he isn't just anyone. We are all here at Homeworks Acadamy Boarding School because our families thought we weren't good enough. He is the same as everyone else here. We are all the same, because we all all different. Remember that." As Sylvia stood up to exit my room, she turned and gave a small smile. "You were always an overthinker."
When Sylvia left the room, I stood up and dusted off my uniform. It was 7: 15 and I was already worked up. I want Calvin. I want him to be mine, but we all have issues here at the Academy, so maybe I should wait. But how long can I wait before these feeling rip their way out of my thoughts and into his world?
I rebrushed my hair and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like I always did. Depressed. Then I grabbed my school bag and left the room, mentally preparing myself for the day.
"I'll see you in Chemistry!" I called to Sylvia as I left the dorm.
"Chemistry first period? Let's hope Calvin doesn't fall asleep on today's reaction." She replied, stifling a laugh at the reminder of Calvin's accident last week. He fell asleep while combining baking soda and vinegar, but applied too much baking soda and the whole thing exploded way more than it was supposed to.
I stepped out if the girls house before I let the worry settle in. I worry about Calvin way too much. It was a girls only dorm building with the boys houses right next door. As I walked down the pathway leading to the Academy, I noticed something strange hanging down from the boys dorm window. It was Calvin. Hanging upside down, asleep, from the second window to the right.
I walked over to him and yelled "Sleepyhead! Get up! You're gonna be late!"
He startled awake and fell from the window, right on top of me!
"Oww! That hurts Lily!" He mumbled still half asleep.
"Don't blame me. You were the one snoozing when it's almost time for classes. We have chemistry again." I said trying to get up, when all of a sudden he grabbed my waist and pulled me back down.
"No, no. Don't go yet. The grocery store can wait babe." He muttered, and that's when I realized he fell back asleep. Blushing, I pulled him to the other side of the building as to not be spotted by anyone. Then I tried to wake him up gently.
"Hey, it's time for class."
"I love you. You're my world, you know that?" He said pushing me onto my back and putting his arm around me, still dead asleep. When I didn't respond he said, "Right? Because you are. You are my everything."
"Yeah, I love you too." I wispered, barley audible. I was so red he would've definitely realized what I realized at that moment. It was true. I did love him. "You're my world too." And he held me a little tighter, not painfully tight, but securely, so I couldn't move.
