Ice Cold Heart

C.1

I stood with my arms folded leaning against my locker with one foot press to it. My eyes never leaving the boy that was kneeled down digging through his own locker.Why did I agree to this? This might be the worst thing I've ever done in my highschool life without caring about other people's feelings. But this boy, he's so small and fragile.Just look at him struggling to carry three books and keep the keep his book bag on his shoulders. His big blue eyes shining bright behind the black frames on his face and his small pink lips held a tight smile as he walk in my direction.

I cant do this. I shook my head and looked away from him. As I was about to walk away I heard a squeal and then his small body came crashing down on me.My reflex kicked in and I caught him with zero struggle but his books went flying.

"S-sorry."He whispered as I help him stood up straight.The bell rung at the kids in the hall way began rushing to their classes. The boy went and got his books but I just stood there watching him

"I'm sorry I fell on you Zaiden,I tripped over my shoelace."He said looking up at me his eyes sincere and almost look like he was about to cry.

God this is gonna be hard for me

"It's okay Jacob."I spoke

I heard a gasp as I kneel down on one knee to tie his loose shoelace for him.I look up to see him looking at around but the hall was empty by now.

"Y-you know my name?"He ask.His cheeks covered with a light shade of pink,he bit his bottom lip and tried not to make eye contact with me

"I do."

The second bell rung and he jump and dropped on of him books again.I shook my head and chuckled at his clumsiness

"I umm I have to go to class now zaiden.I'm sorry again and thank you for tying my lace for me."He picked up his books and turn to walk away.

"Wait."I kind of shouted. He turned around and looked up at me

"What are you doing after school?"

"Nothing,I have to get home to my mother by four o'clock."He tilt his head to the side looking at me curiously.

"Would you like to go somewhere with me? Like Tutti Frutti or anywhere you'd like."

"He likes ice cream so start off with that."

"Why?"

"Just wanna hang out with you."I shrug hoping he will say yes

"I don't think I can waste money on ice cream right now."

"I'll pay."

"I cant let you-"

"Please?"

Jacob sighed and gave me a little smile that made my heart melt.Gosh he's so cute

"Okay Zaiden."

"Nice,Could you meet me in the student parking lot after school?"

"Yes I can meet your there."

"okay I'll let you go to class now?"

"Have a nice day Zaiden?"

He smiled and walked off.I was going to reply but I just stared at his back instead until he turned the corner.

Let me let you about Jacob Richards and myself. Jacob is like the smallest kid in the 12th grade in both size and age. While everyone is 18 and 19 Jacob just turned 17 a month ago. While everyone else stood over 5'7 at least, Jacob is 5'4. He has these amazing deep blue eyes with short brown hair,small nose and small pink lips.His smile is breath taking even with braces on.Surprisingly he has his ears pierced which made him look even cuter. Jacob is one of the smartest in our grade.He participate in all the nerdy clubs and competition as anyone would expect. He doesnt talking to a lot of people, you can mostly see him with his girl that skates around the school.I forgot what her name.

Jacob lives with his mother that has a kidney disease. It is only getting worst because it has spread in her blood stream. We know this because his mother use to always bring him to school ever since freshman year.

Now about me.My name is Zaiden Brooks. Not Aiden or jaden...Zaiden but everyone calls me Z. I play football and baseball at my school.I'm 18 and turning 19 at the end of the year December 29 to be exact. I'm 6 feet tall, I have light skin,brown eyes and Black curly hair with full pink lips and freckles all over my face. I have a small group of friends who are all athletes. I lived with both parents that only care about their image and getting richer everyday. My dad wants me to be a pro football player like he was and marry a Victoria secret model but that ain't happing.I mean. The football playing thing is alright but I kind of don't want to be a lawyer and I sure as hell don't want to marry no model. I kind of have my eyes on Jacob. I have for a long time but no one knows, I just stare at him from time to time because as much as I seem like the time to approach anyone and have them submitting to me and anytime I'm scared to even talk to Jacob. I don't know he just makes me nervous.
