Silent love

Chapter 3: Heaven

Jasmine’s POV:

All I could see was white. Slowly i started seeing the outline of a face. As the seconds went by, the face became clearer. And to the biggest shock of my life, it was Liam.

Have I gone to heaven? Then I heard a laugh, the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.

«No, you haven’t» a voice said followed by a chuckle. Wait what? Then everything became clear. I was laying on the lacorsse field, with half the team standing over me staring, but the only face I could consentrate on, was the actually the last face I wanted to see right now. Cause as I’m experiencing one of the most embarrassing moments of my life, I realize that my long time crush witnessed EVERYTHING!

Oh dear ground, please just swallow me whole.

«Are you ok? You had a pretty nasty fall there» he asked while flashing me the most beautiful smile.

«Oh… ehm… I’m…» I stuttered, unable to form a real sentence.

«Oh my god! Jenna are you ok? I’m so sorry» Nails against a freaking chalkboard. Rushing through the crowd, looking overly concerned. Yeah right you’re sorry. I can assure you she did that on purpose. Olivia would take ANY chance she gets to make me look like an i***t. She’s totally obsessed with Liam, been that way forever, and of course somehow she found out I had a crush on him and she’s always trying to make me look bad in front of him.

She acts all innocent and pretends she doesn’t do it on purpose. I can only pray to God he doesn’t buy it like everyone else.

«Oh I’ll give you a reason to be sorry you pink bimbo!» And like always Sophie’s right there to defend me.

«Excuse you?» She said looking deeply offended at Sophie before continuing.

«she fell all by herself. I’m sorry to break it to you hon, but you’re not a really good lacrosse player» She said with the sweetest voice her evil body could produce while looking down at me. Oh how I wish I could whipe that stupid smile off your face. But I won’t, cause violence never solves anything…

«Besides how stupid can you be to trip over your own feet?» she giggles

Oh no she didn’t! Hold me back, I’m gonna kick her ass!

«You’ve got some nerve!» Sophie beat me to it, going to attack Olivia.

But before she could reach her, she was held back by some teamates, while Olivia’s minions tried to shield her as she screamed, faking being scared of Sophie to get her in more trouble.

And as this scene unfolded right in front of us, my gaze went back to Liam who was already looking at me. Oh man, he’s even more breathtaking up close.

«Are you ok?» He asked for a second time, giving me a kind but also kind of concered look? Okay, here goes. The chance you’ve been waiting for like forever. Talk to him!

«Yeah I’m okay, thanks» I whispered. And to my shocking, actual words escaped my mouth as I opened it, sure it was low, but words nonetheless.

«You’re cute» He laughed. What? Did THE Liam Jones just call me cute? I could feel my cheeks heating up. Oh lord, please don’t tell me I’m blushing like a tomato in front of him.

He just looked at me and gave me a sweet smile before helping me back up on my feet. And just as we stood up, the coach entered the field with an extremley angry look. Walking with fast steps, he’s quickly approaching the chaotic situation beside us that I had totally forgotten about. Sophie was hysterically trying to get out of the grip some teamates had trapped her in, while Olivia had finally «calmed down», making Sophie seem even more psychotic. I didn’t miss the satisfied grin on Olivia’s face. Oh you fake…

«ENOUGH!» Coach Simmons harsh voice echoed through the air.

Shit…

Just as I had predicted we got in trouble. Well, almost everyone. Olivia as usually got away with a small warning, thanks to dear old daddy. How many warnings can she get before she actually has to take responsibility for her actions. Sophie got detention for the rest of the week due to inappropriate behaviour. I feel real bad for her, she get’s in trouble for being a good friend, while Olivia gets away with anything for being rich man’s daughter.

She says it’s not my fault because I never ask her to do anything, she does it because she wants to protect me. But I still feel very bad, if it wasn’t for me, Sophie wouldn’t get in so much trouble. As for me, I have to tutor a student that needs help with math. You might wonder why I got a punishment? Well, the coach means I’m the center of all the drama and trouble that occurs at practice.

And while I’m unfortunately always involved in the drama, thanks to Olivia, the drama doesn’t really start with me. But of course coach doesn’t see this. Or he just HAS to punish someone involved and can’t touch Olivia. Dear, sweet, innocent, untouchable Olivia.

So here I am, forced to turor someone in math for almost being knocked to death on the lacrosse field. First day of school and I’m already in trouble. If this is a indicator for what this year’s gonna look like, I might just quit already.

The rest if the day went on in a blur. After the three first periods I was already exhausted and ready to go home. As I was making my way to the exit, a voice calling out for me, made me stop in my tracks.

«Hey Jasmine, wait up!» is that who I think it is? He actually knows my name! Turning around I found Liam jogging towards me. Dear lord give me strength.

«Hey, I just wanted to check up on you. You took a pretty nasty fall back there» he want’s to check up on me? Ok it’s official, I’ve gone to heaven.

«Oh yeah, I’m fine, gotta watch my feet better though» I laughed while slightly blushing. I got a WHOLE sentence out, whitout whispering!

He started to laugh too. I just made Liam Jones laugh!

«You’re cute» he chuckled, making my blush spread to my entire face, turning dark red.

«Well as long as you’re okay I’ll let you go» he winked at me and flashed me his beautiful, perfect white smile. Oh my poor panties.

«I’ll see you around angel» he said as he walked away. Angel? Did my crush just give me a nickname!? I felt like my insides could explode at any minute. And just as Liam walked away, I noticed Elijah was once again standing a few feet away from me, staring with those deep, mysterious brown eyes that pulls me in. Shaking off the feeling he gives me, I start thinking of Liam as I turned around and exited the building.

Best first freaking day ever!
