2020-09-28 21:18:42She yawned and sat up. The class was empty, she turned to see Stephen sitting next to her with his notes and hers stacked.
'Where's everyone?'
'No business of mine.'
She cocked a brow at him.
'But I'm certain that Miracle's at his race practice. Kingsley's at the debate club and I've been right here watching a sleeping beauty.'
She tried not to blush as she took her book, restlessly going through it to keep her hands busy. She stopped at the last page, there was a neat handwriting compared to hers.
'You helped me?'
'The little I could do before I discovered the view and got lost staring.'
'What view?' She turned around, there was nothing new about the school environment so she wondered what he was talking about.
'You.'
'Me?' Her lips immediately opened and closed.
'Are you flirting with me?'
He shrugged, kicked back and rested.
'And your observation?'
'Haven't you heard that I'll break your heart?'
'That's bound to happen. Haven't you heard that I'd play you?'
'That's also bound to happen but you can't.' She said with eyes more serious.
'You can't play a person who isn't Interested.'
She removed his hoodie, deciding to give it to him but shook her head.
'I'd wash this and give it to you tomorrow.'
She rose to leave, when she reached the door, she turned.
'I wanted to apologize for the other day. I should apologize, my attitude was uncalled for so I'm sorry.'
He walked up to her, wondering the kind of girl she was. One minute she was blushing like every teenage girl. The next, she was bold and daring then straightforward and then humble enough to apologize.
'Stephen?' She called.
'Do you hold grudges?'
'Yes. Sometimes.' Was all he said as strode past her, leaving her perplexed.
'Son of a bachelor.'
'Arrogant piece of shit.'
Christina and Deborah chorused, shocked to meet each other in the same state.
'What's wrong?'
'What's wrong?'
They said together before taking slow breaths.
'You go first.'
'You go first.'
Christina shook her head and motioned Deborah to.
'It's that arrogant idiot. He had the satisfaction of watching me crumble before him at the debate club. That cocky arrogant smirk of his. I'd like to slap it off his face just like I'd like to slap off his existence from the surface of the earth to hell.' She gritted and yelled to calm her nerves.
'And you?'
'That son of a bachelor. Always thinks he's smooth and can have everything. I'm fed up of him staring with triumph. I've wanted to be the captain just for our coach to make me his assistant. You could've seen the triumph and accomplishment on his face. I felt like slapping him right that moment.' She hissed and punched a wall.
'I hate him. He's always in my way, showing off how better he is.' She punched again.
'I don't want to freaking answer to him or anyone. I don't want to do what he think's best for the team and I certainly don't want him in my team. He'd use half of the time flirting with everything in skirt.' She punched again.
'The girls can barely stay focused, all drooling and swooning.' She punched again that her friend had to hold her.
'The worst part is that I have to keep this up; the sweet, unbothered Christina. God knows, I'd make him pay.' She gritted.
'So will I.'
After a long pause, Deborah began.
'I miss Helen you know?'
'Me too.'
'Saw her today, she didn't even spare me a glance.'
'Same here. We shouldn't have given her the silent treatment.'
'But she crossed the line.'
Christina exhaled.
'It's Helen after all. You know even if she talks she's prone to withdraw that's her makeup. We didn't build this friendship for four years to have her withdraw and shut us out.'
'We should apologize then?'
'Yes, we should. She hurts differently and if she hurts much, we might completely lose her.'
'Hell no.'
'And your suggestion?'
'We talk to that big head during lunch time. I miss her filling my plates with her rejects. Heck! She selects a lot.'

It was a pleasure having you around.'She strode to her gate, glanced back at him while he waited for her to go in, she rushed back, enveloped his lips in an intend quick kiss.
