When the Ice Queen melts

Chapter 14

Avery

It has been a two weeks since Emeri and I started to know each other more outside the school. Most of the time we stayed at my place. My parents and my twin brother gave Emeri a warm welcome. They didn't find her intimidating or snobbish dispite of Emeri's status.

And when we were at school, we didn't talk, we just smile to each other. I know she wasn't ready to come out yet and I respect that.

My friends and I sat in our usual table, we are just talking about movies, fashion and their boyfriends. I was kinda out of place because I can't relate.

"Do when are you planning to have a boyfriend Averiy? " Via asked which made me coughing.

I quickly grabbed my drink and chugged it down. My eyes were slight watery. " Oh gosh. " I gasp and breathing so hard. "Please don't ask me that."

My face gave me a confused and funny look. " Why? " they said in unison.

" There's a lot of guys are drooling on your feet? "

I shrugged my shoulder. " I'm not ready, simply not interested, "

" Are you gay Averi? " Brittany whispered.

All of them are looking at me, waiting for my response, but before I could say anything the school cafeteria fell into silent. Like when you turn off the radio or there was an angel who passed by.

We heard a familiar click sound of a heels against the floor. All of us stopped and watched the Ice Queen of Walton University came in. She is beautiful as ever, her blue eyes were delighted as her strawberry hair stumbled on her shoulders and move in so much grace and perfection.

The Walton's Queen sat down just one table away from me with her friends. I noticed that she was holding an apple and lemon water. Emeri is not a foody type of person, she likes fruits and veggies, her coffee is lemon water.

" I still didn't get how Emeri shut all of us by her presence, " Brittany said lowly, we almost couldn't heard her.

" She is not an Ice Queen for nothing, " one of our friend chipped in.

As if Emeri felt someone is looking at her, she slowly twisted her head towards my direction as out eyes met. I saw a smirked tagged on the edge of her lips and turned to looked at her companion.

I felt a nudge on my side. " Hey. Whats up with you! " Brittany whispered.

My face grew hot and looked down. How can I tell them that I was attracted to the Ice Queen?

" Sorry " i mumbled and started eating my pizza. I tried my best to focus in our conversation but I felt like someone is looking at me.

" Hello beautiful! " I heard a manly baritone voice. I looked up at greeted by a familiar face.

" Jean, " I smiled awkwardly at him. Jean is my persistent suitor. He was trying to court me since junior year. But he is like a brother to me and nothing else. " Hey, what's up? "

" Hello beautiful. It's been a while since the last time we've seen each other " He said cheerfully and pinched the bridge of my nose. Like he always does.

" Heyy don't do that " i smiled a little.

" Okay. I'm sorry baby - " Jean said but cut off by a loud BOOM sound inside the cafeteria. All the students looked at Emeri who slammed the door and walked out.

What the f**k is happening?

" Oh my god. The Ice Queen is mad " Brittany gasped with her wide eyes. " I already pity the first person Emeri is going to see, "

" Yeah, right, "

I feel bad because I know deep inside that I was the one who responsible to set up her. I should be more careful when she was around.

My phone vibrated. It was a text message from Emeri. Averi, Meet me in the Music room. Now!

I couldn't help but to roll my eyes but I stood up anyway. " I have to go somewhere guys, see yah later, "

************

I feel nervous when i stepped inside the music room, this place is our secret place to meet up, it was dark and I couldn't see anything but the lights from the clock. I fell on the floor when someone tackled me, I couldn't see it, I tried to fight it off but the person was stronger than me.

But I saw her strawberry hair as her familiar perfume wafted under my nostril. Her soft lips slammed against mine, it was rough and demanding. I gripped on her shoulders and pushed her away slowly.

" Emeri, what are you doing? " i asked still catching my breath.

She didn't say anything but looked down at me. Her blue eyes were cloudy and restless. It makes me feel nervous.

" How dare you Averi " Emeri said angrily.

" It's not what you think Emeri, " i defended myself. Emeri slowly got up I do too.

" Emeri. You dont understand. He just a friend " I defending my self. She pulled away from. " Jean is like a brother to me, "

Emeri swiftly turned around avoiding my stares. " Really now, "

I tried to hold her but she glared hard at me. " Emeri please. "

She didn't answer me.

" Are- are you jealous? " I couldn't hwlo but ask with a little smile on my face. Emeri turned around and look at me in disbelief.

" What's funny Averi? " She said as she crossed her arms.

I gigled. She's cute when she was jealous.

Okay. Emeri Perron. Ice Queen and Queen Bee get Jealous.

I hugged her so tight like there's no tomorrow. I want her to feel that she's all that i need. Yeah. She is. And i know she feel the same way too.

" Im sorry Emeri for making you jealous " I said still hugging the jealous Ice Queen.

" Im not jealous Averi dont flutter your self so much " She said. But i chuckled. I dont think she is going to admit that. I know her.
