Chapter 7
I was just finishing up my homework when my mother called down from the stairs. “Hannah! There’s a boy here for you!” she yelled. I froze. “No it can’t possibly be Lawliet.” I thought and headed down. But sure enough there he was with an amused look on his face. “I saw a park by your house and wondered if you wanted to hang out there.” He said, almost awkwardly. “Sure.” I shrugged. I got my runners on and dashed off, forgetting about the T-shirt I was wearing. We walked a few steps in silence when Lawliet dashed off. “Race you there!” He said. I smiled and ran to keep up with him. “No fair! You got a head start!” I teased. He turned and smiled, then increased his speed. I became determined and ran as fast as I could, but even then I could only hold up to him and the childish race ended with a tie. I laughed so hard when he said it was a tie, because he won by a long shot. He stared at me with a confused expression, which made me laugh even more. “You’re an odd one you know that?” I said poking his chest. He smiled then picked me up. “Hey! Let me down right now!!!” I yelled in mock anger. He plopped me on a swing pushed hard, soaring me up into the sky. I laughed joyfully, feeling like a child again and forgetting everything. I jumped off then ran to a slide, not wanting to escape the wonderful feeling. We played for a few more minutes, for then I began to get tired. I crept under a willow tree and laid at its huge trunk. I gave a content sigh and turned to see Lawliet right beside me. I realized it had begun to get quite late and then stars were already beginning to twinkle in the skies. I watched with fascination as the fireflies danced around us, twinkling us with their beautiful lights. “It’s so beautiful. I never want to leave.” I said. I realized I felt cold, remembering my T-shirt, and Lawliet seemed to notice because he awkwardly put his arms around me to keep me warm. “Then don’t.” he said softly. I looked him with such passion, right then. I didn’t want this to end. What was this odd feeling I felt? This happiness when he wrapped his arms around me? I sighed and rested in his arms, closing my eyes. Where I found myself next was in my bed. “I must have fallen asleep.” I thought out loud. Then lay my head against my pillow and thought of Lawliet until I drifted asleep again.
Chapter 6
Of course Kayla and Melissa couldn’t stay sick forever and were back at school the next week. I surprised myself when I found I was feeling sad when they approached me in the morning. “Hey! Done playing hooky already?” I teased. Kayla but her hands on her hips and pretended to look mad. I laughed but not before glancing to the side to see if Lawliet had noticed me. I felt bad for some reason. He had been so kind to me the past week, I felt like I was ditching him. I told Kayla and Melissa the homework they had missed and wasted time until the bell rang, signaling class with Lawliet and no Melissa or Kayla. I sat in my usual spot and eagerly watched the door for Lawliet to come in. And there he was. Talking with the teacher about the latest science worksheet. I gazed at him. His black hair, just like a ravens and his scraggy clothes, which although may have looked messy to anyone else they looked oddly charming to me. I saw him look in my direction then giving me and friendly wave, along with the smile I’d grown to love and I snapped back to reality. Lawliet sat by me just like every other time. I looked at him. “I’m sorry but I won’t be able to hang out with you, Melissa and Kayla are back and I kind of promised to hang with them.” I apologized, feeling the guilt seep into me. “It’s alright, I noticed they’d come back.” Lawliet said. I felt relieved that he felt that way but still wasn’t sure. “ Are you sure? You could hang out with us if you really want to…” I said. “No it’s fine.” Lawliet replied. The teacher began her lecture and we settled down. What I did not know that Lawliet was a liar. He did very much want to spend time with me but of course didn’t because he felt almost embarrassed. Of course Lawliet didn’t tell me that himself, I figured it out over the years, long after we’d spent time together. I glanced at him. He was hardly listening to the teacher, which I found odd because he was so smart. The bell rang an hour later, just as the teacher was getting into categorizing the manner and species of life on Earth. Of course Lawliet was called upon whole time, and as I kept glancing at him I saw the whole time he hardly paid attention but knew everything. “Why is that?” I wondered. I picked up my things, coming out of my thoughtful daze and ran up to meet Kayla and Melissa. “Hey!” I called to them at their lockers. “Hey Hannah!” Kayla said, waving brightly. We walked to the apple tree and talked for a while. “So…who did you hang out with when we were gone?” Melissa said, a sly smile on her lips. “Lawliet.” I answer automatically. Melissa and Kayla gave me a strange look. “Oh! They don’t know his real name!” I thought. “I mean….Colin.” I said with difficulty. “Oh!” Melissa exclaimed. “What?” I said, trying to act cool. “He’s a great guy, and really smart to!” I said, my eyes widening when I realized what Melissa’s gasp was for. Melissa and Kayla looked at each other and smiled but dropped the subject. I sighed. This was going to be hard.
Chapter 5
The rest of the week I spent all my time with Lawliet. Kayla and Melissa were still sick so I soaked up as much time with him as I could. I’d grown fond of Lawliet, for a boy had never really opened up to me like that before, and I hardly even knew him! The time under the apple tree I will always remember. Lawliet turned out to be the smartest kid in class, even surpassing Sarah, who had always been the smartest in the class since Grade 1. I watched in amazement as Lawliet answered all the teachers’ questions in full detail on nanotechnology then aced the test she had given him; the test that she gave him was specially prepared and was for the incredibly advanced students. Eventually Lawliet was offered to move up to honors class but refused. One day under the apple tree I asked him why he refused the offer. “I just didn’t suit me.” He answered. I gaped at him. “How can it not suit you? Your probably the most smartest kid in the school!” I said. Lawliet looked at me with kind eyes. “I think I’d like to be normal for once.” He answered. I gave him a funny look. He laughed. “I’ll tell you sometime later.” He said, still smiling. But Lawliet never would. Perhaps he was lying, I don’t know. But he never told me. I walked with him to our next class. And then suddenly I had a small impulse to hold his hand. “What am I doing!? I’m not going to hold his hand!” I thought. I shook my head, as if to chase away the notion. Lawliet looked at me. “Oh it’s nothing.” I answered his unspoken question. I finished the next subject and went on the bus home, Lawliet accompanying me on the way. I was used to this by now, as he had insisted he would walk me home the day I talked to him under the apple tree. He walked me to the door. Then before I knew what I was doing I wrapped my arms around him. “What am I doing!” I screamed in my head. My eyes shot open and I felt the heat rising to my cheeks. I immediately let go of him and apologized over and over. “I’m sorry! I don’t know hat happened to me! I’m sorry.” I said. Lawliet smiled, but he seemed slightly shocked. “It’s okay. I understand.” He said. Then I waved good-bye and shut myself into my room, and drowned myself with music with my iPod.
Chapter 4
The rest of the day I noticed Colin eyeing me in between classes but I was not prepared when he sat at my table at lunch with a huge grin that’d I’d never seen him wear. I gaped at him. He kept smiling. “Why so surprised?” he asked. I kept gaping at him. “What?” he said playfully. I noticed he was wearing a white long sleeved t-shirt and jeans. I shut my mouth and picked at my food. “So what are we going to do today?” He asked more calmly, seeing my surprise no doubt. “We?” I managed to choke out. “Yeah who else are you going to hang out with?” he said, smiling again. “W-well I was thinking more of just hanging out under the apple tree.” I said. At least I was talking. “Well you don’t want o be a…loner do you?” he said feebly. I shrugged. “I’m used to it.” I replied. “Kayla and Melissa get sick easily.” I said. “Okay the.” He said and stood up to leave. I paused. “I want him to stay!” I was almost screaming in my head. “Wait! Fine I’ll hang with you.” I said, admitting defeat. He smiled that smile again. “So what are we going to do?” he said. “Well I need to stuffy for that math test. Oh! I also need to finish up that PowerPoint presentation on Nuclear Energy and-“ I began. “Other then academics” Colin interrupted. I drawed a blank on that one. “You don’t know do you?” He said. “No I don’t.” I sighed. “Well I have something so come on!!!” He said pulling my arm and dashing across the cafeteria. “Your fast!” I said. He turned his head and smiled that big smile of his then continued on.
We sat under our apple tree. I mean my apple tree. Colin looked at me then took out a sheet of paper from his pocket. “I thought up some idea’s.” he said sheepishly. “Sixty seven ideas!?” I exclaimed looking down all the numbers. I ran through the sheet commenting on a few things. “Run into walls and apologize to them?” I said rolling my eyes. He laughed. I gasped. This was the first time I’ve heard him laugh. He immediately stopped and looked at me. “What?” he asked urgently. “Oh! Nothing never mind.” I said. “Colin?” I asked. He looked at me oddly. “Don’t call me Colin. Call me Lawleit.” He said quietly. “Lawliet?” I said quizzically. He looked at me, a small smile on his face. “It was my mother named me when I was born. My father didn’t like it and called me Colin until he…” Lawliet trailed on in a thoughtful gaze. I thought about it then gasped again. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to pry! How are you and your mother doing?” I said, shocked and embarrassed. “She to died. Along with my father. It was a fire and I was at a friends house down the street. I was only six at the time. But to this day I still remember hearing that odd screaming at night. I was never quite sure what it was until my friend’s mother woke me up crying.” Lawliet added, seemingly comfortable with the whole topic. I stared. I wasn’t able to speak. The whole subject of death frightened me. “Wh-where do you live now?” I asked, stammering. “A man named Watanuki. He’s very kind to me.” Lawliet said. He looked at me. “Are you okay?” he asked, in an almost soothing voice. “Yes. Death just frightens me a little bit.” I said. I laid down on to the sweet smelling grass. I heard the rustle of the leaves of the apple tree above me. “I love this place.” I said. “Me too.” Lawliet replied. Turned and smiled at him. He smiled back.
