*Next day.*
It is now break. Time seemed to be on a hurry. Hurry to where, that's what I want to know too.
Raising my head I see the three hottest guys in my school. They make their way to my table. Which is great because I have to talk to Sean. It is either now or never. As they passed I decided to finally get his attention.
"Sean?" My voice came out as a squeak. I cleared my throat and called again. "Sean." This one came out more confident than the last one.
He turned around I swear time stopped. He looked at me, raised an eyebrow and smirked. My heart missed a few beats. This is going to be harder than I thought. I thought to myself.
Clearing my throat again, "We need to talk." I say. Making sure to hide all the nervousness I had.
"Sure." He replied turning back to his friends telling them something and coming to sit where I was sitting. He sat in front of me. "So what do we need to talk about?" He asks.
"Before I begin, here is your chocolate." I say pulling it out of my back pack.
"I thought you were kidding." he says putting it in his pocket. "But thank you?" he thanks unsure.
Yesterday when I offered to buy him a chocolate, he was shocked at first but he agreed at the end. I don't know what came over my mind wen I decided to buy him a chocolate. But I guess I was trying to change the topic from the embarrassing fact that I was ogling at him.
Deciding that I have been staring, I clear my throat and begin. "I don't know how I am going to say this but..." I paused.
"Can you just say whatever you want to say? I don't have all day you know." He said in the rudest way possible. I am taken aback. I never thought he would say this. Sure I have thought of a million ways this conversation would have failed but this? No man you just did it.
"You know I didn't beg to talk to you. If you want to leave you are more than welcome. I am not going to force you or anything like that." I said more like snapped.
"Jeez. Sorry okay. Anyways what were you going to say?" He said more politely.
"No. I just wanted to ask you if maybe you know that my friend Regina has a crush on you. And right now she is acting like your wife trying as much as possible to make sure she keeps you to her side and is even conspiring with Mira to take me out of the picture." I said that all in one breath.
"Oh yeah, another question do you like me?" I asked a little bolder than I thought I would be.
Clearing his throat Sean looked a bit taken aback and surprised and shocked and perplexed. Wondering where the question came from he asked, "Why do you ask if I like you?"
"Out of all the things I've just said that was your takeaway?"
"That was the only interesting part okay."
This is actually hopeless. "Anyways can you just answer my question? Do you like me?"
"Is this why you called me here and bought me a chocolate?" He asked becoming a little more protective
"The chocolate is part of why I called you here. Can you just answer me? Yes or no? It is not that hard."
"And if I tell you what you are going to do?"
"Depends on the answer. So yes or no?"
"It is late I have to get back to my friends." He said about to stand up. Out of reflex I held his hand. His hand is soft and feels like it is always moisturized. It is cold to the touch. I could hold it all day. Considering that I have warm, sweaty hands.
"Sean wait! We haven't talked about the pressing matter here. I want to know. Yes or no and did you know about the whole Regina ordeal?"
"It is a no." at this I felt my heart drop. I don't know why but I was kind of hoping for a yes. "And I do know about the whole Regina ordeal. I just don't understand, how are you involved in this whole thing?"
*Sean POV*
After saying the no I saw her face fall. Was she expecting a yes? Trying as much as possible to keep my face constant, I waited for her to reply.
"I tend to find myself in certain situations and unnecessary drama almost on a daily basis. And this one seems to be one of them. So I need to know where I stand before I go to war with someone like her. Get what I mean?" she said in one breath.
"Fair enough. But I am waiting for the one and what Mira does, doesn't faze me nor will it faze my true love. Anyways I have to go." Saying that I pulled my hand from hers. And I immediately missed the warmth
Right at that moment Regina and Nelly entered through the doors.
I don't understand why would Regina have a crush on me. Whenever we actually do talk, she is always going on and on about Loverina. If I didn't know better I would think she is trying to play a match maker.
*Loverina POV*
What surprises me is that Sean is acting rather hostile. Not the type where he will be shouting at me like wants to hit me but he ain't like how he used to be. He doesn't get annoyed easily but today he seems pissed.
"What was Sean doing here?" Regina asks the moment they reach the table.
"Nah he came here to tell me that Markus wants to talk to me." I lied. I don't know why I lied but I did. Maybe it is because I don't want them to know that there might be something going on between me and him. But there is nothing. Literally nothing. We are nothing but enemies that would kill each other if chance is presented to us.
"Why would Steven send Sean? That doesn't make sense. I mean literally, Markus is outspoken unlike Sean. Sean is shy and has social anxiety. Only talks to those he understands at some point. So this isn't making any sense." Says Regina in a mono tone. She has a deep frown etched on her face as if she is trying to comprehend the whole situation.
"You telling me. I was just as shocked as you are. So how was literature?" I asked hoping the remove all the attention from me. And Nelly caught onto it and responded.
"Literature is nice....." Regina begins.
Later that day
"Loverina we need to talk." Sean calls after me. I stopped and waited for him to catch up.
"Talk about what now?" I ask shocked. It is not every day your crush tells you need to talk. Wait! Did I just admit that he is my crush? Nope I disagree. He is definitely not my crush.
"What did you say to your friends about our conversation?" He asks snapping me out of my thoughts. I look up to him to see him frowning. Why is he frowning? What did I say to my friends?
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"That friend of yours came to me and asked what we were talking about and if Markus has a crush on you or what?"
"Which friend are you talking about now?" I ask my confusion clear.
"Look, I hate shenanigans. By hate I mean despise. So you better stop pretending and tell me what you said to them. I won't ask again."
"I don't know why you are mad and I don't know what you are talking about. And I don't know which 'friend' you are talking about." I say. Honestly this is stupid. I shouldn't be standing here listening to his bullshit.
"You know why I am mad. Why would you say Markus wanted to talk to you? He has his own legs and feet. And I am not his messenger!" He shouted. Everyone looked at us. I hate attention but he seems used to it so I won't judge. But that's still not my cup of tea.
"One, you don't need to shout. I am right next to you. Two, who actually said that to you? And three, why are you so worked up about that?" I said in the calmest tone I could master. This guy is literally driving me insane.
"One, who told me that is none of your business. Two, I am worked up like this because that's making me sound like I am a messenger or some shit like that. And three, if you dare tell me what to do I swear I will have your head on a silver platter." He said. That sounded so scary. I actually regretted ever talking to him he sounds like a psychopath. And to think they call me a psycho.
"I hate to be rude. But I was just saying and asking. By the way would you mind if we would go somewhere less crowded and more private?" I asked noticing all the predatory stares from the girls passing by.
With that being said he took my arm and pulled me to a secluded corner near the mathematics class.
"What's so private that you want to talk about?" he asks in a calmer tone than before.
"No I just don't like the attention and the stares I was receiving." answered simply.
"You shy? Never thought that would be one of your characteristics. Since you are very outspoken." He said. I was amused because I never expected that. I was expecting a harsh response from him. But then again how did he know I was outspoken? Well that's what people say at least.
"How do you know that? Stalkers now are we?" I asked playfully.
"Who knows? I mean I could be." He said. Something about his tone made it sound like he was serious but I pushed it at the back of my mind. I might be overthinking it.
"You owe me a chocolate." I say out of nowhere. After saying that he burst out laughing. I always thought it would be creepy hearing a guy laugh but his laughter is enchanting.
"Anyways I will see you around?" He said. It actually sounded more like a question. Unsure what to say I nodded my head.
With that I walk back to my room. I am tired. All I want to do is to catch some Z's but I have a test tomorrow that I must study for. But who cares about a mere test? It is not like it is worth some credit.
To think today was Valentines day but it didn't feel like it. It felt like a normal day to me. Now that I think about it, Sean would have thought the chocolate was his valentines gift from me. Why didn't I think of that before I gave it to him?
The moment my head touched the pillow I could already feel sleep calling my name. I sleep with the thoughts of Sean in my head.
