After a couple of minutes I glanced again to him. This time he is not looking and his book is placed in the table now. His left elbow is on the top of the table and his hands are placed in his chin. Why he is so…

I didn’t finish my sentence in my head when he suddenly turns his head towards me. Shit. He stands up and started walking to me. What the hell! As he reached my table I started to stand up. I’m ready to leave.

“Avis, right?” he asked. Wait, he knows my name. How? Why? What? I just nod to answer.

“You’re classmates’ with Vaughn.” He added.

“Yes.” I answered with a smile on my face.

“It wasn’t a question.” he said and looks into his hand holding a book.

Yeah, right. It wasn’t a question dumbass. He gets something in the middle of pages of the book. It is a small paper with his name and number on it. Wait, I’m not asking for his number. He turns to me giving me the paper.

“What’s that for?” I asked innocently.

“Give it to Vaughn. He is part of our organization.” He answered. Oh, I thought it was for me. Why am I always assuming? I get the paper in his hand and put it in my skirt side pocket.

“What are you looking at earlier?” he suddenly asked. I was caught off guard. I thought he wasn’t gonna bring that up!

“I am looking? To whom?” I asked back. Deny it Avis, until you die.

“To me, anyway give that to Vaughn.” He said and starting to walk away. Why he is so confident? Well, it is true though.

“Why don’t you give it yourself?” I asked. But it wasn’t supposed to say loudly!

He stopped walking then turns his head to me. I looked away and get my things. I’m leaving, really. I started walking towards the door leaving him behind.

“Do you like me?” he asked. I stopped walking.

I slowly turn to him. My hands are shaking, I can’t explain this. I hide my hands in my back. He is looking at me intently. I look back into his eyes too trying to give the same stare his giving me. They’re hypnotizing me, asking me to tell the truth. They are so deep that I almost get drown and lost.

"Maybe." i answered, also looking directly at his eyes. Then, after one second i walked away from him.

"Do you like me?"

Those words he said kept on ringing into my ears in where it eventually got red. Of course, I was flushed with his sudden question, I mean, if there is somebody you like asks you if you like them, what would be your reaction? Because I will be straight up dead of embarrassment like right now.

Ha, enough of this. Think straight, Avis. I tried to fix some of my ruffled skirt and noticed a bump in my pocket. I rummage through it and found the piece of paper he wanted me to give to Vault? Van? What was the name again?

I forgot the name; maybe if I rummage through it, I might find the name. Just a peek, I won't do anything. I look to my right and left and proceed to stare intensely at the paper, just when I was to open it someone snatched the paper.

I annoyingly looked up at the person who snatched it. He was grinning and had his hand up in the air, holding the paper. It was the guy Skylar wanted me to send the paper to, I remembered now his name and his reputation.

Vaughn Hirsch, a football player, and everyone's favourite guy. Given, he is handsome and athletic, he is also the majority of girl's man of their dreams, except me, Skylar is better.

"Uh-huh? Is this a habit of yours?" He said, still grinning and waving the paper.

"Looking into someone's business?" He continued.

"What? No. I didn't intend to open it." I lied. Of course, I would lie, what would Skylar think? That I'm someone's poking their nose into someone's business?

Yeah, I am, but I don't want to leave bad impression news on Skylar.

I heard him chuckle, "Are you sure? Because, I have been looking at you for a long time now."

Of course, I know, he knows it, but I'm still gonna deny it, to save at least my one strand of dignity. "No, you are just having delusions, I swear."

He burst out laughing. He had his hand in his stomach and the other one is placed on the school’s hall wall. He tried to control himself and cough slightly, "Alright, Alright, I like you. Let's pretend I'm blind and didn't see that."

He was about to speak but some guy came to Skylar and said, "Bro, there will be no 10:30 AM class as of today, Professor Matias won't be attending the class today due to some unknown reasons, how about we go play in the field? We have a vacant time."

There is no class? Yes! I can go to the library again and read some books. I'm really eager to finish this book because it has good contents and storyline. I will just silently leave.

"Sweet! Thanks for the update, bro, but I am not available now, I promised my girl here that we will eat together." Vaughn said and placed his hands on my shoulder.

"What, no--" I tried to deny it but he interrupted me quickly.

"Have fun, Bro, we will be going now." He said then pushed my back and started walking towards the direction of the hallway exit.

"Alright! Take care, Vaughn." His friend shouted and Vaughn waved his hand for goodbye while he is still pushing me

Maybe he just used me as an excuse to get away with the invite. It's fine then because I will have my pleasant time reading again at the library. Ah, I'm so eager excited to read the next scenes. When we are outside the hall, I stopped and bid my goodbye.

    "So, uhmm," I started. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask because we just kiss then, we let each other fell for the moment together. And, lastly we confirmed each other's feelings. I felt my face heated when I remember our scene back up there, in the rooftop. "Hmm?" He hummed as he looks at me with question in his eyes waiting for me to answer. "Is this our first day that we're officially in relationship?" I finished. When I asked it, I looked on his side to see his reaction. He is looking in front, away from me when I saw him smiled and bite his inside cheeks. He then, holds tightly my hand and say, "Yeah, you can now mark this date on your calendar as our first day, and we'll celebrate monthsary and anniversary." He answered. I giggled at his answer. "You knew about that?" I asked. "About what?" He asked back as we turn to the left of the campus where the parking lot is located. "About monthsary and anniversary thingy." I an

    I can feel my heart beating rapidly and unusually fast. I am currently in front of the stairs that will lead to the rooftop. It was still 5:50 pm but I don't know why I was early but I was also nervous to come inside. Skylar was so unusual these days and his actions make me either somehow hope for something or get mad. Those past moments make me actually hope for something, that being with him might be possible, but it all got discarded once i heard penny that I was ruining their relationship. Hearing it made me realize how pathetic I could be, it makes me feel embarrassed and somehow annoyed. I'm embarrassed of how I clung to that possibility, and also annoyed to myself. But now, seeing that note, it made me hope a little but I'm trying my best not to, he has a girlfriend, I couldn't be more pathetic than I was. “Stop it, Avis.” I whispered to myself and did a deep sigh. I looked up at the stairs in front of

    “Hey, Sunflower.” Dad called me, but I can’t seem to get my mind out of Skylar, Vaughn, Penny, the party…and the balance. I felt like I dreamed a weird one again last night, when I fell asleep with Vaughn on my side. The word that has been repeating in my dream is ‘balance’. I don’t get it. I’m so confused. And grandma was there in my dream again. “Sometimes dreams are warnings.” Words of Ms. Bailey whispered in my head. WHAT THE HELL! Why are this all problems adding up together?! I played the bacon in front of me as I remember Penny’s words and it is hitting me like steak knives deep in my heart. So, Skylar and Penny is a thing. Then, why did Skylar do something like that? Why does he make me fall hard to him that I can’t ever get out?! I would be probably happy when the news was Skylar and Vaughn is a thing, not Penny and Skylar. I sigh. This is giving me a headache. Glad, it’s Sunday and I do

    After the incident, I guided Avis to a private room to have her time. I led her to a sofa while the tears are still running down on her cheeks. She sat down. I can hear her sobs, I know that she is trying to suppress it but she can't. I sighed and hug Avis tightly, I can understand what she's feeling and I felt so sad and angry for what is happening now. I took some water from the pitcher and poured a glass of water to her. I gave it to her and she reached it, her hands are shaking. I sighed multiple times seeing Avis in this state. It somehow also makes me sad for her. She was still shaking and looks so confused but she's trying to conceal it. Avis don't deserve this, she deserves the best but why is she receiving shits like this? "Try to rest, Avis. Don’t worry, I will protect you here." I pat her head and wipe those tears from her cheeks. She nodded and tried to lie down on the sofa. I fixed the cushions on her side and fixe

    I both looked at Vaughn and Skylar, all of them looked good and dashing tonight. "All right! So..shall we go inside?" I both asked them because the air kinda feel intense for some reason. I was about to turn my back when a rushing person suddenly jumps at me and clanged it's full body to my neck. Of course, it's Tess. Because I can't fully grasp the sudden situation, it resulted for me to have an out of balance and fall to the ground, of course, with Tess on top of me. "Aviiiiiis! My wifeeeeey!" She hugs me tightly after we got up. "Can you please inform me that you are gonna do that? I nearly had a heart attack. “I said to Tess and she laughs. "I'm sorry, I thought the boys will be there to catch you," she smiled to me and intensely takes a mad stare at both Vaughn and Skylar. "Kidding! Come on in, guys!" She said to boys and she proceeds to link her arms to me, resulting for me to be dragged towards inside the house. Both Vaughn and
