18. YOU GET WHAT YOU WISH FOR
1013 Words
"I am not looking at anyone. I was just roaming my eyes around." I replied to Demetry as he sat beside me.
"Okay. I'll try to believe that you weren't looking at him the moment I entered the gymnasium." He giggled, lightly punching my arms. "You were literally drooling."
"Now that's a lie." This time it's my turn to punch him back. "I would never drool for a man."
"Well, let's see."
He pulled out a bunch of paper works and started scanning them one by one.
"What's that?" I asked curiously.
Peeking at the papers, I can see the names of the students.
"List of those who will attend the Addilyn Fashion night."
"Oh that thing exist?" I browsed at the names, I can see my classmates name signed on the paper, and Grey's name is written as well.
"When did he signed this?" I pointed at Grey's signature.
"Earlier. Saw him at the olympic pool, he was with Andrea."
"Oh." I sat back.
So he was with the girl. He didn't even tried to reach me earlier. He knows we will be presenting our work today but he ignored my calls. I thought something happened to him, he was always a single call away, I thought he was sick.
"You look like you ran out of battery. Is your boyfriend cheating?" He glanced at me, as usual, he's smirking.
"That spoiled brat is not my boyfriend." I retorted. "It's just that, we have this presentation earlier and he skipped class."
"Well, you look like you were cheating as well. You were staring on another man." I punched him on his legs, hard. He squinted in pain but smiled sheepishly after.
After a series of punches and him just laughing at my reaction, he regained his composure.
"So, kidding aside. Are you going to the Fashion Night?"
"No." I replied plainly. "You don't think I look interested in those right?"
"Well, I know you don't, but I want you to come."
"Why?" I asked him. "I don't even have friends."
"So what do you call us?!" He snapped, but in a childish way.
"Well, I don't think I belong in your circle."
Upon hearing my reply, he gave me a warm smile. "Well, personally, I love having you around, and I think, Daniel, too." He grinned. " He usually asks for you."
"He does?"
"Well, Yeah. But I won't get into details. I don't want you to be hopeful." He patted my head like a kid which I removed a second after.
"I was just curious, that is different from being hopeful."
He glanced at his watch and sighed. "We need to go, where is your next class? I'll take you there."
"Alright. Grab this thing up." I handed him my books.
"Yes, princess."

I went to my next class, and still there is no sign of Grey. To be honest with myself, I am half mad at Grey. I am pissed a little because he didn't come to the class earlier. He left me alone to present our project. To think that he was just here inside the university with Andrea, I felt left behind. Although, I am still giving him the benefit of the doubt.
My next class passed by in a blink. I wasn't even listening to the professor. My mind flew everywhere. I was busy scribbling down notes when I noticed a familiar figure walking down the halls.
It was Grey. He was walking across the room but he is not even looking in my direction. It felt like in a minute he was actually my friend, then the next minute we are back from being strangers.
"Looks like our Disney couple broke up." Someone commented and everyone laughed.
"As if I wanna be a Disney princess." I turned my face towards him, everyone made that "oooh" sound. " Well how about you? Your personality fits in the Disney movies. You sound and act like a little girl. Wanna be the princess instead?"
He stood up from his seat as he clenched his teeth and fist. "You get what you wish for."
He was about to pull my uniform but this time I defended myself. I grabbed his hands before he met my clothes and I placed it on his back.
"You son of a... Ouch! Stop it!" He yelled at me, his eyes were closed from pain.
"Come at me again and I'll give you what you deserve."
Finally, He managed to break free from my grasp.
Everyone in the class went silent. I packed my stuff and left everyone with their mouths open.

Today feels like a very long day. My back met my bed, and sighing, I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep for at least twenty minutes.
As soon as I woke up, I took a shower and wore my pajamas. It's only seven in the evening but I have no plans on coming out of this room tonight, I am even skipping dinner. I just don't feel like getting out of my bed. My mind is too tired.
Staring at the ceiling, I was thinking of what to do, I scanned my room and noticed the book that Daniel wants me to read.
"Why do you want me to read this?" I mumbled to myself.
With those question in mind, I finally opened the book and started reading it.
I am still curious about Daniel. Basically, the only thing I know about him is that he is the President of the School Government in Addilyn. That's it, that's everything. And as far as I know, that's what everyone knows as well. He is a very closed book person, he doesn't answer personal questions. I rarely see him with anyone aside from his members.
Suddenly, I remember what Demetry said. That he usually asks for me. Now that I am thinking about it, I wonder if there are questions in his mind about me.
Because I can fill my mind with all these questions about him if I allowed myself to.
