If I Saw You Earlier

Chapter 3

I don't know how, but the lesson ended fast. I took my books and went to my locker. But there was someone by my side, James. He didn't talk much. And he seemed like he didn't care about others.
" so, here is my locker. We have music now so we don't need any books" I said slowly. I didn't speak slowly but it seemed like time went in slow motion.
" let's go" he said.

The day finished very fast. Me and James decided to hang out at my place. One of the teachers wanted me to tell him about a project. It didn't seem fair. I didn't know him. But it didn't feel like it.

" hey" he said when he got inside. He was standing in the hallway with his school bag on his shoulder.
" hello, did you find it easy yo get to my house?" I asked.
" yeah, it's not that hard to find in this little town anyway" he answered with a smile.
" so let's-" I got interrupted by Mark.
" who the hell are you?" he asked him.
" is that your new boyfriend?" he asked me.
" no, he is new in my school" I said.
" James is my name" he said.
" nice to meet you, I am Mark" wow they got on really well.
" let's go study" I said to James.
We walked up to my room. Me first. Him behind me.
My room was down the hall.
" nice room" he said" very nice"
" it is not a nice room. I can't help I hate pink and like blue". I said as I stared at the blue walls.
We took out our math books and stated to count on different pages.

The time passed so fast.
" you have beautiful eyes" he said. I looked at him. It came as a shock to me.
" thanks" I said in a low voice.
" listen, I have to go" he said all of the sudden.
" Alice, h-"
" John, what are you doing here?!" i was surprised to see him in my room. It was awkward. Me with my boyfriend and the new guy.
" can we go for a walk?" how rude was John.
" I got to go" I forgot about James. He took his bag and walked out.
" did I interrupt anything" he asked. He wanted to brake up with me. He wanted my best friend.
" listen this is not working out, we are done" I said it and it made me feel happy. I am finally free.
" ok, wanted to do that first, but all right". He was calm and that made me glad.

He walked out of my room leaving me alone with my books. Why did James go?
We didn't even start on that project.
