Revenged Love

Episode 5

CHAPTER 5

I quickly turned my face away immediately my eyes locked with the new guy,I wondered if he seemed embarrassed with every looks poured at him lavishly by all the unashamed girls..my friend included.Girls with partners weren't out of this madness, they all fantasied one or two things immediately he walked past them.yeah I wasn't out of this madness either. How can one be so cute..we both said spilling outside thoughts together. Thankfully I mouthed my words to myself,ariana,..well she knows what she wanted and how she wanted it,so saying whatever, audibly wasn't going to be a problem for her.Two girls standing beside where we sat heard her quite alright and gave a jealous down eyes towards us.

"Can you buy me a minute?"She begged

"Yeah sure girl,go where ever you want baby..I will keep your space warmed out for you" i replied tapping on her back..I totally envied my girl, a goal getter she was and will always be..can't say the same for me though.

"What can I get you when I am at it.."she winked at me, giving me a knowing look..

"Lemonade's fine "I replied knowing fully well that,that's not present in the party and knowing fully well my friend didn't care about what I needed in that moment but wanted to sound less gullible by her decision to leave me hanging all by myself in the middle of hot boys and girls situation where I happen to be an un-hot girl sitting all by myself in a not so good situation..and instead of laughing at the comment I just gave, about needing a Lemonade..my girl made the clucking of her fingers, mouthing an okay reply. what the heck?!..and there and again I regretted my outing decision for the 11th time,brought out my phone and went into my call logs,trying to find mum's number,I hadn't dialed her number in a while.."Hmm.. I'll just text. "..

"Is this seat taken?"..a male voice greeted my ears. And I made to lift up my chin to say yes but immediately stopped myself because I felt betrayed by ariana, and this was a great way to get back at her for abandoning me.

"No..it's.. it's not,you can have it all to yourself, " i replied, trying to sound evil and normal at the same time.Damn.

I reached out to clean out the chair properly,not really sure why,and returned back into tapping on my phone,not really sure why either,I had forgotten in an instant why I brought out my phone in the the first place,and resulted into viewing post on Facebook..but the male's voice came in again.

"Am Lucas,my friends call me luc,if that's okay."He was smiling at me..and I needed time to witfully make out if he was referring to me.. "I guess this was the time you told me yours.. your name?" he added. so i answered after seconds of delay from my end.

"Yeah.. yeah, I am sorry.. I was trying to read your lip.. you know,loud music and all." I replied, and he smirked as though he knew I was lying.

"Am Dainne. My friends call me Dainne," I added, hoping that joke didn't sulk like it did in my head. He smiled,sensing I had made a little joke there and replied

"Your friends are weird if they don't have the habit of giving a nickname." He continued."Are you here alone...?"

"If, by alone,would you mean, being brought here by my best friend who in turn abandoned me to go sort out her own selfish reasons for being here..well then yes, I am here alone."

I paused and added, "All by myself!" to make it make a point,which clearly he didn't understand.

He laughed this time,and I had to pinch myself mentally..

"You're funny. But I really didn't mean if you were here with your best friend or a girl for that matter..well except if you were a lez..no offence He quickly added "are you were here with a boyfriend, your..boyfriend" He added much more significantly.

I turned my gaze quickly away from my phone and tried to take all of him in a min. He legitly looked familiar,in science class quite alright, definitely opposite mine..he always wore glasses glued to his face every other time I had seen him along the hallway..no wonder I didn't recognise him earlier.he was a fine dude,had brains..plus he was araiana brain crush..yap,she does have crushes for almost everything in her life..I asked why she hadn't stomach the idea of asking this lucas out,

"Not that i didn't stomach the idea..the thing is,i didn't nursed that idea because he did seem "non -approachable",those were her exact words having to describe lucas.

"Err..no,not really," I said, managing to mumble out words without stuttering,wondering what his next question may be..

"Oh cool,thank God,I was afraid I was gonna get punched in the face by sitting this close to a princess"..Hes words poured out like flash..and i spiralled in dazzling circle for a long while..trying to understand what was going on before me..was this a joke or a flirt..."are you flirting with me?.." this question laced my mind like smoke to a fire..because clear confusion sat right inside me.Why was one of the hottest guy in school really sitting this close and trying to have a conversation.But what came out of my mouth was..

"Are you a science student?"..I asked, trying to hide the unseen pink on my cheeks, leaving him in wonder for a sec..

"Yes,I thought you knew that already" He replied with a smile,he knew fully well that I was shy..no..shy was an understatement, I was definitely sure he was not suppose to talk to me. HE IS THE HOTTEST GUY IN SCIENCE CLASS!

"Oh..yeah.yeas.. your face looks really familiar.. I do know you,..I just wasn't sure where," I replied, unsure of my facial expression.

"Hmm..weird we talked before,2 times if I am correct,"

"Oh, you counted.."

"Yes, I had to.. you always kept avoiding me,"he replied, bowing his head to look at his boot,as though saying sorry for not meeting up with a standard

"No.. no,"i quickly added "no that isn't true,I didn't know you've always wanted to talk.."

"I didn't just want to just talk..I want to be 'a' friend" he replied placing emphasis on the 'a'..I had no choice than to run out of guts at the moment wishing ariana was there.

"A friend..like 'a' friend," i replied, looking above his shoulder, genuinely praying my selfish friend would boom out like flash and save me from facing this weird conversation..

Never ever had i ever had a truth talk. "I am, beyond speechless," I added, looking right above his head..

"So, er..what are you a secret admirer?" I said jokingly, expecting to hear a short laugh.. Then i would also laugh it off, so he'll end up being the shy one..well,for some weird reason,i was wrong.

"Yes,I guess that's what we can both call me,a secret admirer," He replied, and I could hear his voice break a little,I could hardly believe my eyes or my ears.

When did I start having a crush.. was this a joke? Was he messing with me.. I couldn't answer him..lost every reasonable voice at that moment..why was he so blunt??

"You're okay?" he asked, sounding a bit mild,as if terrified that his news would somehow make me disappear on him.. he might be right,because at the moment, I wasn't present..I didn't disappear either,I just got lost..I had never been asked out..a lot is happening tonight and I suddenly realised thus too might be part of my dream..

"Wait..is this a dream?" I asked myself, although I was audible enough to get Luc to listen.

"I think you're not actually on a bed covered under your bedsheet or tossing from side to side,are you?" He asked, giggling,looking at me with an amused grin. My cheeks wiggled, and I felt embarrassed. But if he was being blunt and instant I shouldn't be left out and termed shy girl In his head, that would make me vulnerable and make me feel desperate and easy to woo..and for all I know,this could be a betting game with some guys..I know how these things work..why do I watch movies if am that dumb! So I decided to play a fast one.

"Are you asking me out?" taking him a bit unaware,i asked out of the blue..Yap,that was my plan,get him to be the uncomfortable one around here..

"No..not yet,I wouldn't disrespect you that way, dainne.."he replied, and even more bluntly added,"i want you to get to know me first,hang out and talk." And as though i didn't him the first time,he said again,"I want you..to get to know me. If that's okay by you, " he replied more calmly,like the texture of his voice could keep me positive and hypnotised.
