"What! Why are you guys looking at me like that?"Lily asked, folding her arms.
"What the hell just happened," Martha said.
"What do you mean?" Lily asked cluelessly.
"You said you didnt know him," Martha said squinting her eyes. She believed there is no way Alex could tease a girl like that he is always cold toward girls.
"Yeah, I did," Lily replied, spreading out her hands."
"U mm, that wasn't what it looks like," Beatrice joined the conversation, stating her mind.
"Am serious I dont," She said innocently. She was confused how they are making a big deal out of this.
"How did it look like, tell me," She asked as she removed a strand of hair that keeps entering her eye.
"You were acting lovely dovely," Beatrice said with twinkling eyes.
"Eww, no we dont," Lily said with an irritated expression.
"Hmm, keep saying that," Martha said giving her a sassy look.
"Ok, that's it, am going home," She said as she began to pack her books into her bag. She doesn't get why her friends are being like this, she definitely needs some time alone.
"Oh, come on, are you mad because of what we said?" Martha asked Lily, tightening her grip on Lily's bag in order to stop her from leaving.
"No, its just that I need some time alone thats just it and am not mad at you guys," she said as she released Martha's grip from her bag and she left the classroom with heavy steps.
Lily is always very sensitive about the word, love. It makes her to reminisce her past at her previous school. She was heartbroken by the person who she loved wholeheartedly and trusted. That incident wrecked her so Hard that she was like living corpse.
FLASHBACK
A girl in a floral dress, a sling bag dangling over her shoulder, a wavy hair reaching her waist, her tender and spotless face free of makeup and wearing a pair of white scandals. She ran up the stairs, happy to show someone the letter in her hand, the expression on her face is the one the brightest in the sky, she got to the door and twisted the doorknob, entered the room and her expression changed as she witnessed a very heartbreaking moment. A boy and a girl were on the bed doing activities that were R-rated, they were unaware of her presense because they were overwhelmed by pleasure. She quickly turned back to avoid seening that heart wrecking scene, she looked at the letter in her hand with her eyes twinkling with tears. She griped the letter so hard that it might rip and she dug her nails into her hand, her nails dug deep into her palm making it to bleed but the pain in her hand is nothing compared to how her heart was hurting ,she slowly slide down from the wall to the ground and buried her head into her laps.
BACK TO PRESENT.
As she remember that unfaithful day again, her eyes were slightly damp with tears, she immediately wiped it away.
'I won't remember that jerk again," she said to herself as she wiped her eyes and sniffed.
'I don't know why my heart is hurting so much, I can't even stop my tears from falling," she said again to herself as her tears fell uncontrollably.
As she sat down on floor, dipped her head into her laps, she sighted a random person's shoes and legs. She weakly looked up to see the persons face, and it turned out to be Alex.
"What do you want?" Lily asked with a slight hoarse voice due to her crying, wiped her eyes and nose with her t-shirt.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Asked Alex with a frown, he then sat down beside her on the ground.
"None of your business," said Lily and buried her head back into her laps trying to avoid his gaze.
"Look at me and answer me," he demanded as pulled her head from her laps and made her face him.
"Why do you care?" She asked again and sniffed.
Alex looked at her wondered why he actually cared, doesn't know why he cares its like he has this urg and passion to care for her. His heart ached when he saw her crying, he wished he could hold her in his embrace, kiss her tears away and comfort her until she gets better. He looked at her again, her eyes were puffy and her nose were red, she looks very cute, he wished he could just pinch that little red nose. He moved closer to her, held her chin and gently wiped her face saying "You look very ugly when you cry".
"No, I don't", she said in defiance as she slapped his hand away and pouted.
"Ouch!" He groaned in pain and glared at her.
"You didnt answer my question", Lily said as she take out a bottled water to drink to ease her sore throat.
"What question?" He asked while raising an eyebrow.
"Why do you care about me?" Lily asked staring deeply into his eyes and pulled her knees over her chest.
"I don't know either, even I am confused myself", he replied as he run his hand into his hair and gave her a teethless smile.
"Okay, its just weird having you sitting next to me", Lily said, offering him a chocolate bar.
"How is it weird that am sitting next to you", he muttered as he tore the chocolate wrapper, took her"s too and did the samething and handed it over back to her.
"Like you're the school prince, who everyone what's to get close too and you are here eating chocolate with me", she added as she took a bigger bite of the chocolate bar.
"Yeah, I know so just cherish the moment and don't forget am handsome too", he said with a toothy grin.
"Urg! So Narcissistic", she grumbled and rolled her eyes.
"Hey, hey what's with the attitude, you dont think I am", he asked confidently.
"Hmm, I dont think you're that handsome, no offense", She said, lifting her hands in the air.
"Offense much Taken", He said through his gritted teeth. As he made an attempt to prolong the conversation his phone rang.
"You phone is ringing, pick up", Lily said pointing to Alex's side pocket.
He picked up the call and his goofy smile dissapeared, its was like it was a different person that was answering the call, his voice was very sharp and cold, he soon ended the call, he stood up took his bag, dusted his trousers, his expression changed back into a goofy smile and he said to Lily"Daisy, I need to leave okay, am gonna see you around, bye. He patted her head and left.
"It is LILY!" Lily shouted sounding frustrated.
"Same thing!" He replied with an indistinct voice.
She had nothing else to do again so also left for her house.
