Chapter 55

He was directly facing me but I turned my face to the marker board, so it was my side view he was getting.

"Really?" I heard him after I turned away from him.

"You can't seat here, there are others here and you can see that," I said, still not looking at him.

"Are you mad at me?" He ignored all I just said to ask.

"No," I was a bad liar.

"You are, I could tell from the way you looked at me in the hallway. It felt like you could crucify me with those eyes."

"I'm not mad at you," I lied again. "Just leave?"

"No." I turned to him with a sharp look when he said 'no' like that, but I felt like his charming face would erase my anger so I looked back at the marker board.

"Julie, come on, don't look away from me like that." I felt his warm hand on my exposed right thigh, it messed with my senses for some brief seconds till he withdrew his hand.

I swallowed, almost forgetting what we were just talking about because of his simple touch.
