King Of My Heart

Chapter 5 : Go With Him or No ?

The next day, I went to school as usual. I acted like nothing happened between me and Matt, how I refused to meet him because I still MAD at him.

"Just drop me here, I can walk alone," I said to my chauffeur. He stopped the car right on the lobby and opened the door for me. I slung my bag on my shoulder and left the car.

I entered the school building, the first thing I saw was two junior couples, kissing intimately on the school wall. I rolled my eyes and walked to my locker.

I smiled and greeted back everyone who greets me. Of course, a fake smile one. My feeling was the mixture of guilt, love and mad.

I walked through the hallway. Where the girl stood in front of their locker and done their make up there. Lipgloss was the most important one, they put it inside their pencil box so they could touch up whenever they wanted to.

I was walking to my calculus class when the blonde guy yelled my name. I stopped my step and turned around, he was running towards me.

"Glad you hear me," He saids while breathe heavily. He tried to controlled his breathe and began surfing inside his bag. He took out a thing, which is covered by paper and shoved it to me. "Take it?"

"What is that ?" I asked.

"You helped me yesterday, this is how I say thank you to you," He said, "Come on take it."

"You don't have to–"

He put it on my palms and smiled. "You must take it, and that's Final," He said and left me to his class.

"Thanks!" I yelled on the hallway with big smiles drawn on my face. He wasn't too far, he probably heard it.

I held this things and sprinted to Spanish class. I flopped on the empty chair beside Urbi.

"What is that?" Urbi asked and pointed to the thing i just got. I shrugged and rest my back on the bench, repositioned my body. "Open it!"

I slowly opened it and saw a chocolate with letter inside. I folded open the letter and it was written there.

There is new cafe around here. How about dinner in there today ? I'll fetch you at your home. -Dennis Smith

So his name is Dennis Smith. But how could he knows my address? Forge it. He knew I'm Miller, and our address was shared on the internet by news things.

Urbi nudged my left arm with tricky smile on her face. I leered to her trying to be serious but I ended up smiling with her. "Your choice Zoe," She said.

It was hard to avoid Matt on the entire Spanish class while he sat beside Ava, that was in front of me and we watched our face together for 2 hours. My heart was fill by guiltiness yet I was angry but I couldn't kick him out from my mind. His face was flashing sadness and guiltiness that could be seen by all students even he has covered it with fake smile that seems natural after long time it drawn there.

His eyes was looking at me all the time he thought I tried to concern to the white board but my feeling caught it. I could hear his whispers, calling my name every time the teacher stopped talking. He tried so hard to talk to me and I did appreciate his hard works but disappointment and sadness have taken over me.

My eyes looking at the wall clock, concerning to the needles ticking every seconds. Asking myself when would this torture finish so I could forget him for awhile. I put my pen down and flipped closed my book when the bell rang, raised my head up and stretched my body. The teacher dismissed the class and left. I slipped in my book and pen inside my bag, slung it on my shoulder and left for computer science class, the only class I didn't see his face.

"Zoe," I heard Matt voices echoing on my ears and chose to avoid it. I shoved the door handle and exited the class with Urbi and Ava that were gawking to me. I was always want his attention but when I got it, I chose to denied it.

"Zoe, what's wrong between you and Matt ?" Ava asked, her voices seemed worried, more worried than me.

"I'll tell you later," I said and surfed through the crowds of student to computer lab.

"Look like both of them are fighting," A girl mumbled.

"Yeah, she even didn't answer when Matt called her earlier, what a b*tch. She must be grateful because Matt wants her," Another girl replied.

"Shut your f**k up," Urbi yelled to both of them. Both of them gasped and sprinted away from us.

"You mustn't have yelled at them," I said, shook my head and smiled. But in one side I'm grateful to have supportive friends like her.

"I don't know what's in your head Zoe, you're too kind," She said and shrugged.

It was only three of us on the computer lab and the teacher hasn't came yet. We sat next to each other. I took my phone out and slipped it on the table, message by message popping up as I reconnected it to wi-fi.

"Look like our friend become popular now," Urbi said and watched her manicured hands.

"I stalked her i********: yesterday and she got like Twenty-thousands followers now," Ava said. I peeped at her and both of us smiled together. "I got bunch too because she promoted me yesterday."

"What ? Why you never promote me on i********: ?" Urbi said in jealously.

"You never ask me," I said and keep refreshing my mail box.

"I want it,"

"I'll do it tonight my lovely Urbi. Let three of us be i********: model thingy and live a Hollywood life from now on," I said and embraced her. Three of us laughing together, so loud until Tommy, a nerd who was standing on the door closed the door again and decided to stood outside.

"Shopping Channel," Ava said.

"Wearing Supreme," Urbi said.

"Drive expensive car," I said.

"Drive your dad Roll Royce," Urbi said.

"My dad would've killed me if he knew it," I replied and laughed.

"Taking your brother camera," Ava said.

"Making content on Youtube," Urbi said.

"I won't do that guys, stop wondering. I'll buy it by my allowance guys. Except the car," I said and we laughed again together.

We stopped laughing and started to breathe in rhythm. I looked around the class, students started coming in one by one and plopped to the random places inside. They started playing game while waiting for Mr. Clinton.

I looked at my phone. A message popped up from Mr. Clinton. I clicked the message and read it out loud.

Mr. Clinton

Hello Ms. Miller, I'm sick so there will be no class and no assignment today.

Zoe Miller

Thanks Sir! I'll inform the whole class

"Mr. Clinton is absent today!" I yelled to the whole class and they all screamed in excitement and left the computer lab.

Some of the boys staying here, playing online games that never attract me. It seemed so fun for them, but not for me.

"Let's go to our hiding place," Ava said and pulled me from my place.

When we reached there, I saw Dennis was sitting on my favorite bench. Three of us looked at each other, I was to shy to do anything so I shrugged. It is rude, to told people to go away.

We walked closer to him and Ava spoke in her shaky voices, "This is Zoe places."

Oh My God. She made me look like a gangster in this school. While Urbi was actually an extrovert, Ava is an introvert and I was Ambivert, in the middle of them.

"Oh," He smiled and rose from the bench. Three of us flopped to the bench, literally it's not mine anymore.

"What are you doing here ?" I asked.

"Free class," He replied, two dimples showed up on his cheeks. "What do you think? Will you go with me?"

I gasped to his question. Really, I been spending all this time thinking about Matt and random things but I forgot about him. My mind puzzled and I acted like I was still thinking of it. I went panic as Ava kept nudging me, trying to asked what has happened. I put my smile on my face and blink couple time.

"Will you?"
