Chapter 16

Chapter 16 in "Silent"

The bell finally rang through the halls and everyone scrambled to get out of Science.

“Remember your homework!” barked Mrs. Foster after us. But none of us were even listening. As I walked upstairs to math I stayed pressed against the wall avoiding crashing into people. I quickly climbed the two flights of stairs made my way into the Eagle’s pod and walked into Math. I quickly sat down and saw Travis wasn’t next to me. I scanned the room for him but he was nowhere to be seen. I sighed but right then I heard the desk next to me creak as someone sat down. I let a curtain of my hair fall and glanced over. Sure enough it was Travis.

Maybe I shouldn’t ignore him this time.

“Okay take out your notebooks cause today we’ll be taking notes on Angles.” Said Mrs. Brown said turning on the over head. I pulled out my notebook and began to take notes. I kept looking at Travis once and a while and saw he was so concentrated on the lesson. The last time I looked at him he caught me but only smiled. I turned away quickly in embarrassment and focused on the notes.

“Okay now I want you to choose a partner to work on this ditto. If it gets too out of control I will separate you and you will work alone.” warned Mrs. Brown. S**t! Every time we had to choose a partner I was left with the left over people that nobody wanted. Immediately Arianna made a B-line straight to Travis.

“Hi I was just wondering if you‘d like to work together I’m great at math.” said Arianna working her magic. She placed her hand on his arm as she said she was great at math. I felt like I wanted to bite that perfectly manicured hand right off.

“Sorry but I already chose my partner.” Travis grabbed Arianna’s wrist and pulled her hand off of his arm. He turned her back on her and stared straight at me. The look on Arianna’s face was retorted with anger. She stormed away leaving me and Travis in the middle of the room.

“If that’s okay with you?” he asked politely.

I put my best smile on and nodded. I tried to keep a straight face but inside it was like fireworks exploding. As we took turns answering questions on the worksheet I prayed that I didn’t screw up on any of them. We finished pretty early because Travis was flying through his. So we just talked. But he was doing most of the talking. He talked about his favorite songs, bands, books, and all that other stuff and I just listened intently.

I was so fascinated by how he was such a dream come true but how normal he was. He liked song everyone liked. He hated reading like a normal boy and he loved sports too.

He looked at the clock and smiled his famous crooked smile. “Okay I’ve wasted 10 minutes talking about myself and your making me feel self-conceded.” I had to laugh at that one. “Are you ready to tell me something about you, Paige?” I looked down at the surface of my desk as if the answer would be carved on the surface. He used his fingers to lift my chin up and made him look at him. I almost died, our faces only inches away from each other. He smelled soo good.

“It’s okay, you talk to me when you’re ready.” His voice was husky and sounded so sexy. I so badly wanted him to kiss me. But only the warmth of his breath touched my skin making me shiver. I could’ve stayed like that, suspended in time. But Mrs. Brown’s voice broke the moment and Travis moved away from me. As the class continued a single thought kept nagging at me.

Why didn’t he kiss me?

I want to feel your lips touch mine

I want this feeling inside me to last

I want…you
