King Of My Heart

Chapter 2 : Does He Mean It ?

The crowds dropped their jaw after he spoke that sentences. The sentences that lighten my worlds for a while but fool me later understand it just another way, another way to disenchanted Cara that he didn't like her.

My eyes leered to Cara. I saw clearly how her face turned to red after humiliation she just endured. Angst overwhelmed her, i could sense thin smoke exited her ears. She sprinted to the restroom, followed by her clique.

I shoved Matt away, earning anguished from another student and Matt himself. No one dare to do that, no one. No one dare to shoved the most popular boys in school except me, Zoe Martin.

I elbowed another student that blocked my way to escape. Being the center of attention this way wasn't fun at all. I was crying. It was hard to admit i didn't strong enough to going through this. If i was heartless, that would be a perfect day for me.

The fact was, i made Cara heart shattered. I shouldn't have hugged Matt in front of her. Even though both of us knew, we have crush on him.

I escape to the most quiet place spotted in school, where there was a bench in the middle of small forest. This place has been my hideout since first grade. I always calm myself here, hearing beautiful birds sounds and enjoying fresh air. I never realized i love nature till i left this place.

I plopped to the bench, covered my face with both of my hands and cried loudly there whilst hoping no one heard it. I didn't care about my mascara or concealer anymore. Cry could make me feel better, so why not ? Why must i held it ?

"Zoe," Ava soft voices entered my ears, her voices was so relaxing, the voices you wanna hear everyday. I sniffled and wiped my tears away. I raised my head, she was looking at me with smiles drew on her face. "May i sit beside you ?"

I nodded.

"Okay," She said, she rested her back on the bench and put her legs above another legs. "It's okay to cry. I knew it was a bit appalling."

Urbi arrived with three boxes of food on her hands. Zoe stood up constantly and took out a mat from Urbi bag. She placed it on the grass and Urbi laid the food on the mat.

"Let's eat. You must eat or your dad will kill me," Urbi joked.

They were the best, they always know how to gained my smile back, how to cheer me up when i was on my lowest point. I was so grateful to have them, as my best friends.

I rose from my place and settled with them.

"See, the school serve your favorite food. Chicken Cordon Bleu !" Urbi hollered. She handed me my food, a big smiles decorated her face. She seemed more excited than me.

"This is so good," Ava praised after biting the food for several times.

"Stop exaggerating it," I pouted.

"You have to try before comment," Ava lectured and continue chewing the food inside her mouth.

"Watch out Zoe. There might be crumble food splashed from her mouth," Urbi said and shifted to back.

All of us laughed, it almost always happened if she talk while eating.

What was better than being in class together for four days full. That was the advantages of Senior years. Early dismissal !

Err no, we still have 2 classes.

We went to cafeteria after we ate. That was the only way to entered the building again.

I stopped in front of cafeteria, took a long breathe in and braced myself.

"It's okay. It's not your fault," Ava said, reassuring me again. She held my hands and dragged me in.

My eyes started scanning inside the cafeteria, looking for the changes that i didn't expect.

Matt and the boys weren't sit on the long table with Cara group again. They were sitting on the different table.

"I think i must go home guys," I said on the hallways.

Urbi shoved me to the wall, i gawked at her with astonishment. Like the heck she gonna do ? She was an inch taller than me. She positioned her hands on my shoulder and her eyes glaring at me.

"No, you're strong. You can get through this," Urbi whispered and nodded her head, finally a smiled bloomed from her face.

I nodded and smiled.

I couldn't focus to the entire computer science levels. Nor did everyone. They were busy gossiping about the main topic. Me, Matt and Cara.

But sometime, hearing what they talked were better than Mr. Clinton lecturing about how Google works for entire period.

"Any question ?" Mr. Clinton asked. His face maddened as no one responded to his question. His eyes shifted to me, delivered me a heart attack. "Any question Ms. Martin ?"

"Hmm, so lately we have seen so many tricks from i********: like puting - before something like -games so in the search result you won't find anything about games. Is that true ?" I asked, yeah. I felt so dumb to asked this kind pf question but i needed his answer.

"I haven't tried it but i'll try it later and explain it to class at Wednesday, class dismissed, thank you guys," Mr. Clinton said and left the class.

"You must ask this kind of question on next period so he can dismiss earlier than this," The bad boy, David said.

He was looking cool with super black hair and while skin. His blue eyes defined ocean with pointed nose and sexy lips.

"I suggested you to try one," I said.

He approached my place with smirked, dropped a piece of sticky notes to my table. I closed it with my palms and let him go.

When all the students were out. I raised my hands and looked at the most unimportant notes. His phone numbers.

"Who you gonna choose-"

"Please stop talking about it Urbi," I said, slung my bag on my shoulder and sprinted to economy class.

I sat in front of the whiteboard. Being antisocial was my things and no one really talk to me except my best friends.

In my school, sitting on my place was the stereotype of straight A, geeky, antisocial and ugly students.

"I never know you could run that fast !" Ava said, she was breathing heavily and her face covered by sweat.

"One more places, let's see who's sitting there," Urbi said with smirks on her face. She got those smirks since a semester ago. Her motto is, 'Do it or never do it' she was kind of taking risk person.
