I had no idea what I was doing but I knew I had that Mr. Dell would be furious when he found out that I had not been following him to his office. Not to mention, it was not for a good thing because I had to report to him first before doing my detention. Yes, I was late for the fifth time this year and it was not even halfway through the year yet.
Anyway, enough digressing, I was currently following Daniel Stinson, the resident weird kid, to the school's botanic garden. I had no idea what possessed me but seeing him loitering suspiciously around the empty corridor by himself really piqued my curiousity. Daniel was viewed as a weird kid by the whole school but there was no clear indication that he was indeed weird. It was like suddenly everyone decided to shun him and exclude him from all kinds of activities. No one questioned it and merely followed the status quo. This was high school for you. So alarms inside me ringing, I decided to forgo my detention and find out what the so-called weird kid was up to. Maybe he was not so weird at all and the ugly people who started it was just plotting to ruin Daniel's high school life. Maybe they committed something bad, like smuggling beer bottles to the school and Daniel caught them red-handed and they did this as some sort of twisted revenge. Just my theory. A little far-fetched but cool nonetheless.
I poked my head into the garden and strained my neck to see what Daniel was up to. Strange...A few seconds ago I clearly saw him enter the garden and now it seemed that he had completely disappeared. While my eyes frantically searched for him, I was quietly praying that a teacher (and especially not Mr Dell) would materialize out of nowhere behind me and scare the living shit out of me. Already, I was showing mild signs of obsession over a guy who I had not only spoken to only once (and that was to ask him to pick up my pencil that was on the floor) but was also the person everyone in school avoided for no rhyme or reason.
"What the hell are you doing here?" In an instant, I whipped around only to find Daniel Stinson standing behind me, giving an incredulous look at me. I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God it's not a teacher.
"Nothing. Just wondering what you were up to," I accidentally blurted. Really, I felt like slapping myself. Unexpectedly, Daniel broke into peals of laughter as if I had told him the funniest joke in the world.
I cocked an eyebrow at him and crossed my arms, hoping that I appeared as offended as possible. That I was not any person who could be pushed around. This only served to amuse Daniel more as the his laughter died down but the stupid smirk was still fixed on his face. His handsome face. With an incredibly sharp jawline. So sharp that it slashed my heart. OKAY STOP. I shut my eyes and shook my head frantically to forcefully snap myself out of my trance.
"I don't know what you are trying to do but don't break your neck while doing that," I opened my eyes to narrow my eyes at him intimidatingly. Of course it must had backfired since he was currently laughing obnoxiously like a madman. Actually, worse than a madman.
"Okay okay sorry," he raised his head in surrender. "If you really want to know-"
"I do," I cut him sharply and boy was I proud of myself.
"Haha okay. Since you want to know, I was merely peeing on the beautiful flowers in the garden."
"Well, trying to," he added.
"Why?" I asked without thinking, curiousity getting the best of me.
"Because I love flowers," he simply answered.
I rolled my eyes to the back of my head, groaning. So this was it. All the stalking all morning for this answer. No wonder people call Daniel Stinson weird.
