Sylvia's P. O. V
Class was going on and everyone seemed to be paying attention to what the teacher was saying. Well... Everyone except me. It was much better to sit down, all starry eyed and daydream about him.Him?
Who's him? Alex Jones, the only guy who could put most Hollywood celebrities to shame with just handsome looks. It's hard sometimes to think he's just an highschool sophomore. That dude belongs on the runway. Although he wasn't in school today, I was quite content staring at his empty seat, hands on my chin, giggling to myself as I daydreamt about him being my boyfriend.
Out of the blue, an idea popped into my head and I brought out my special notepad, tearing a piece out and began writing a love letter, with hopes delivering it to his locker later in the day. Something I've tried to do in the past but it always proved unsuccessful.
With a dreamy smile plastered on my face, I filled the paper up and made to write his name when it got swiped from underneath me.
" And what are you doing?" A voice asked, sending chills down my spine. My eyes shot up and I gasped, widening my eyes. Oh no...
" Oh... It's a love letter!" Tasha announced and the entire class turned to my direction. All the color drained from my face and I bit my lips so badly it could've bled, my heart racing.
"N-no it's not." I stuttered, my heart pounding.
" Really? Who it's for? " She asked tauntingly.
" N-no one? " I muttered, hoping I sounded convincing. Tasha raised her brows before snickering. I was holding my pen very tightly, my knuckles were showing.
" And who would believe you?" She asked no one in particular, then walked closer to me till I could almost smell her bubble gum breath on me.
" You had better tell me who owns it or I'm going to read it for the entire class to hear! " She threatened and I widened my eyes in fear. There's no way I'm saying this letter is for Alex Jones, the most handsome and popular guy in Rocksville who is also her boyfriend! That's like me signing for a death sentence!
I looked around till I spotted someone who seemed uninterested with what was going on around him. His head bowed and focused on the book he was reading, he looked out of place in this room. I don't even think I've seen him before.
" It's for him!" I announced and everyone gasped, he too raised his head from the book he was reading. Tasha had the look of confusion on her face.
" This letter.... Is for him?" She asked and I quickly nodded.
" Do I believe you? No." She said and made to read the contents of the letter. I panicked and snatched the letter from her.
" Please believe me... It's really for him."
" Well then, prove it! " She ordered. I stood up from my feet and hurried to his side, placing the letter on his table. He looked at me, then at the paper and tried passing it back to me but I quickly stopped him, my eyes pleading. Eventually he gave up and for added effect, gave him a quick kiss. Another gasp erupted from the class and he stared at me gobsmacked. Tasha glared at me, disappointed at the fact that she wouldn't be able to humiliate me any further. She gave me an ' i'll get you look' before sashaying back to her seat which was closest to Alex. I let out a sigh before dragging myself to mine and gently lowering myself into it.
Phew! That was close.
... It was break and I hurried out of class before Tasha and her gang had the chance to pick on me again. Getting to my locker, I quickly placed my books in it and locked it securely. I was really hungry but I didn't feel like going to the cafeteria just yet. I wanted to find the guy who helped me earlier, probably to thank him and to tell him what happened earlier wasn't meant for him. He should be in the cafeteria, I guessed and went in that direction.A few glances at the cafeteria and I noticed he wasn't there. This is weird, where could he be? I left the place and began searching the entire school. Eventually I found him at the library, staring out the window, probably lost in thought. I gulped and brushing my bangs away from my face, threading softly to his side.
I cleared my throat. " Uhmm... Hi." I greeted. Turning away from the window, his gaze settled on me. At first he seemed confused but realisation soon dawned on his face.
" Hey." He replied almost inaudibly and looked away again. I took in a deep breath and continued.
" Sorry for interrupting you." I said, shuffling my feet. " I just wanted to say I'm..."
" Nevermind." He muttered, cutting me off. What? Guessing he must've misunderstood me, I tried explaining myself again.
" N-no, it's not what you think. I actually want to..."
" I said, nevermind." He repeated, his voice louder this time. I didn't know what to say a few seconds so I just kept staring at him.
Eventually he let out a sigh and stepped away from the window. Sparing me glance, he made to say something but eventually stopped and walked away, leaving me there. I watched him go.
This guy though.... What's up with him??
Sylvia's P. O. V We closed from school and I walked all the way home. Knocking on the door bell, I waited till I heard my mom's voice call me before walking in. " Welcome dear." She greeted from the kitchen. " Good evening mom. " I greeted as I made my way there. " Going somewhere?" I asked, seeing her pack her home made sweaters, it was what she sold for a living. " Yeah... A client just called me and said she needed some of them, once I'm done here, I'm off to her place. " She replied as she glanced up at me, furrowing her brows. " Are you okay honey? You look kind of weird." " Uhn?... Yeah am fine, of course I'm fine. " I replied, pushing my bangs away from my face. " You sure? " " Totally. Although school was kind of tough, it's nothing I can't handle. " " Okay... If you say so. " My mom said, putting the sweaters in a paper bag. " I'll be leaving now. Dinner is in the warmer, put it in the microwave once you're ready to eat." " Yes mum
Tasha's P. O. V After dressing up for school, I brought out my phone and made to call Alex, my boyfriend. It ranged a few times before he finally picked up. " Hello honey, good morning." I greeted cheerfully. " Good morning," he muttered sleepily. " You're still in bed? Gosh Alex, you'll be late for school!" " I'm up now. Your call woke me up." " Oh... That's good. Alex, why didn't you come to school yesterday? I missed you," I complained, pouting even though he couldn't see me. " I had to go somewhere with my step... I mean dad. But I'll come today." " Really? Great, then I'll be expecting you." " And I'll be seeing you soon, goodbye." " Bye too, see you soon." And with that, I hung up, smiling sheepishly to myself. Placing my books in my bag, I walked out of my room to have my breakfast. One of the maids came to meet me. " Mina, where are my parents?" I asked when I saw the dining was empty. " They went out early miss, they left a n
Sylvia's P. O. V I can't believe it!? Alex Jones, the most popular guy in Rocksville, is right in front of me. My heart went giddy and I could feel the butterflies in my tummy. This is too good to be true! " Uh.... Are you okay?" He asked again, jolting me out of my trance. " Uh? Oh... Um, yes. I-I'm fine." I stuttered, my eyes widened and my cheeks heating up. Then, remembering that Tasha might still be around, panic set in. " I-I'm sorry, I have to go now..." I quickly said and rushed out of the hallway. Oh God... I'm so late for class.... Alex's P. O. V Tilting my head, I watched as she rushed out of the hallway. Is she okay? Why is she in a hurry? " Hmm, whatever, " I muttered and went to my class.... Sylvia's P. O. V School dragged on wearily after that, and soon enough it was closing time. I was elated for that because it meant that I wouldn't be in these wall for the next few hours and I was really looking forward to that. I quic
Sylvia Pov " H-hi.." I muttered, scratching my hair. He still wore the surprised look. " What are you doing here?" He asked me, but I was toi tongue-tied to reply. Did Alex just speak to me?? " She came to deliver a parcel." Hazel replied, then gazed at her brother, her brows scrunched up. " Are you going out?" " Um... Yes. " He replied, glancing at me. " But what about me? " She asked, pouting. " Mum's going to be home soon. Besides, you have the maids and nanny Patricia to keep you company. I won't take long, I promise." He said. " Whatever... She muttered and stomped out of the room. Alex sighed and shrugged. He then turned to me. " I-i have to go now. My mum's probably waiting for me." I began when I finally got a hold of myself, moving backwards. " Okay." Due to my nervousness, I bumped into one of the chairs on my way out. " Sorry." I whispered, my cheeks reddening. Alex chuckled, amused. I hurriedly snatched my bags and sprinted out of th
Sylvia's P. O. V I jumped on the bed, giggling excitedly. I had seen my crush twice today and even talked on both occasions, though the meetings were brief. What more could I ask for? Best day ever! But then I remembered Tasha threat's and my heart sank. I have to her closer to Patrick, so as to avoid being humiliated in front of everyone. How am I supposed to do that? He hardly even talks! Oh well, there's nothing I can do than wait it out. Sooner or later I'll have to admit that the love note was originally for her boyfriend Alex. Remembering Alex again, I placed my hands on my chin and smiled, all starry-eyed. Oh, my....... (Next day: school hours) The biology teacher wrote on the board, with everyone taking down notes. After some time, he stopped and turned towards us. " For your midterm test..." He began, closing his marker, " I'll be dividing you all into groups and each group will make a presentation of any topic you prefer, under the curriculum. "
. Tasha's P. O. V I stirred a bit, fluttering my eyes open afterwards. My eyes landed on Alex, who was still sleeping beside me. I straightened up a bit to watch his sleeping face, smiling to myself. Even though the whole stuff is unplanned and it still feels a little too soon, I know there's no other way I would've wanted it... Especially when Alex is involved. Alex soon stirred and snapped his eyes. Groaning as he stood up, he rubbed the back of his neck. " Hey..." He greeted hoarsely. I smiled. " Hi yourself.. " I replied. " What's the time?" He asked. I shrugged a bit and replied, " 7:34pm?" Once he heard that, he stared at me with a shocked expression on his face, his eyes widening. " Oh, shit!" He cussed underneath his breath. " I have to go..." He muttered, hurriedly picking up his clothes. " So quick? Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked, staring at him, bewildered. " You won't understand..." He said as he put on the lasts of his clothes.
Sylvia's P. O. V His laughter caused a million things to happen to his face, making him look even more breathtaking. I subconsciously placed his smiling face with Alex's and trust me, if everyone saw him like this, there would have been a stiff competition on who was the most handsome boy in Rocksville high. Sadly though, the look disappeared as quickly as it came. He immediately sobered up, and a frown replaced his once beautiful face. Frankly speaking, there's a good chance I might have forgotten what I came here for in the first place. Eventually, he stood up, planning to leave. Stopping midway, he turned. " I'll get back to you concerning the project." " H-how?" I found myself asking. " I don't know. I'll just get back to you." He said and left the library. I watched him leave and, brushing my bangs off my face, smiled to myself. Well... That wasn't so bad.... I headed home and once I walked in I met my mum in a rush but that's not
Sylvia's P. O. V " I... Um..." I stammered, shutting myself up. Tasha's glare remained. " I said, what are you doing here?" She asked again, her voice even meaner than before. I shivered slightly, unsure of what to say. " She came to babysit me." Hazel's voice rang through as she came to join me at the door. I breathed out in relief, grateful for the intervention. Tasha's glowering gaze lowered as she stared at the little girl who held my hand, smiling up at her. " I suppose you're right." She replied, her voice suddenly calm. Pushing me to the side and walking in, she glanced around. " Where's Alex?" she asked. " He's in his room." Hazel replied in that childlike voice of hers. " Thanks. I'll go up then. You guys have fun. "She said with a smile on her face which didn't reach her eyes as she glared menacingly at me. I'm pretty sure I get the point. Sashaying up the stairs, Hazel tugged at my fingers. " Let's go play." She called out, and I nodded.
