Turning my back

10 minutes until class starts, he started speeding up, hoping he would see Adrienne on the way when he heard his name from behind: there was someone calling for him. He turned around to see who it was and saw Mira standing there, it was one of his classmates. She came running for him so he stops there to wait for her.

Adrienne heard someone call Zachary's name too. She stood statically there, waiting for him to show up. She was barely able to stand without moving, feeling so anxious about meeting him. They have not spoken to each other since, and will suddenly reunite again.

7 minutes before class starts, she breathed very fast and very hard.

"Zachi, that pencil you lend me, it was soooo good" she heard a girl saying. "Where did you buy it? I've not been able to find good pencils anywhere lately!"

"So it is her" she pondered to herself. It was that girl who went to the same class as him. That girl who would always cling herself to him whenever she spots him.

Adrienne stood there alone, eagerly waiting for him to show up.

Mira wore ripped jeans in a light blue color, together with an over-sized hoodie and black sneakers. Her style tend to look primary but the way the colors match makes it look extremely beautiful on her. She's got a very nice sense of fashion in other words. She had her hair tied up in a high ponytail with two strikes of hair to the sides and crystal earrings. The way her hair is tied up makes her earrings stick out and the hair to the side makes it look stylish. Her clothes were pretty light and her bag came in a darker color tone which caches the eye. It's a famous brand and matches very good together with her shoes.

"I've never used one this good" that girl kept going on - Adrienne was pissed.

"Pencils? What the hell. They are talking about pencils... Even I know something that simple" she thought to herself. "You can find the brand he uses in almost every store, it does't specifically have to be a store that sells drawing equipment. Even if we assume that she didn't know about that. She could have simply checked the pencil he had lend her. The brand is clearly written there, then asked anyone and they would all know - why does it have to be him? She just wanted a subject to talk to him about."

She would always call his name very loudly, attracting everyone's attention and come running towards him. Then when she's there she would always repeat the same thing: "Look what you made me do, you made me run!" Last but not least, she would chuckle.

I believe that quarrel was the reason that made me understand how much I disliked that woman. I did not like her very existence but yet I felt like I should become friends with her or at least get along since she was Zachary's classmate and his friend... to an instinct.

All this, and my guts kept telling me that she is no good. I am personally getting bad vibes from her. She feels like one of those scheming woman in dramas. I definitely don't like her. Then again, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit.

While I do feel like this about her, I also, wish that I could kind of get rid of these feelings. It's not right - I know that. I can't judge someone based on how they act when I have not interacted with them or know them in person.

I would probably not have felt this way if it was about someone else, and not Zachary. So, could I simply be jealousy?

"Zozo," she called him. "Didn't I tell you not to call me that" he responded.

She continued to look upwards. The clouds moved slowly up in the sky, it was quiet place and free from disturbance. He was looking at his sketchbook and drawing. There was no one else there and that made the place perfect.

He looked up and then at Adrienne again: "What did you want to tell me?"
