CHAPTER THREE: NOT STUPID!

" Argh!" Clarita suddenly slipped and fell forward only to be stopped by something hard!. Clarita, who had her eyes closed due to the fear of falling down was too startled to open her eyes immediately she was stopped and kept her eyes closed for a while until...

" Will you get off me?"

The voice was calm and at the same time cold but one thing that Clarita noticed about it was its rudeness and it puzzled her.

" Who is this?" she questioned herself inwardly as she opened her eyes slowly and there he was... right in front of her was the guy she loved!.

Her head was stopped by his chest but she knew he didn't do that intentionally and it was just her luck that she was stopped by his firm chest!.

She raised her head slowly and looked into his eyes. his eyes were so bright and charming that she found herself lost in them and couldn't compose herself no matter how hard she scold her pride.

" He ... look... so..." she wasn't able to complete her words before she was pushed away and she found herself landing straight on the ground only to be stopped by her two friends who were quick to support her from falling.

" You! why did you push her?! did you have to push her?!" Cindy asked, looking annoyed and baffled at the rude behavior of Nelson.

Nelson glared at Clarita who was still resting on her friends and pocketed his hand. " She was going to stain my uniform. " He muttered and turned away to leave!.

Everyone at the corridor widened their eyes at his reply and they all looked at Clarita pitifully except Bella, who was so much enjoying herself with the way Clarita was being embarrassed.

Clarita looked at all the faces of the students and clenched her fist as she stood up right. " Not a step further Nelson!" she muttered calmly but deep down, she was burning with fury and heart aches.

Nelson stopped and turned to her with a raised brow. " What?" he demanded.

Clarita stared at him for a while and found herself not able to say a word again as she was once again lost in his eyes!.

" You're not going to talk? You're silly after all!" Nelson said with disgust and sighed.

" Silly?" Clarita finally got her tongue back and she was greatly annoyed this time around. even though she loved him, she wasn't going to let him step on her pride anyhow!.

"You said silly huh? Do you mind if I tell you who the silly one is? The one who couldn't help a girl when she was almost getting hurt and even aided her falling is the silly one.

the one who embarrassed and rubbished the pride of a girl in public is the silly one. Now, do you know who the silly one is?

Call me back if you have any more word to say!" she concluded and walked away!.

Nelson looked at her retreating back for a long while and frowned a little. Everyone expected him to be angry but he actually found the situation interesting and for the first time in his life

, he found something fun and worth thinking about. No one had ever talked to him that way before. it was the first time and he somehow enjoyed it.

" Interesting!" he mumbled and walked away too while Bella ran to catch up with him.

Clarita stormed her feet on the ground all the way to the art room to free her head with the sweet songs of the school band boys ... " I should get something cold to drink before sitting down." She told her friends and moved toward the vending machine to get a bubbling drink .

Clarita was so pained that she was close to tears. she had always known how cold and rude Nelson was but she didn't think he could be so cold to her and it pained her...

She input her coin into the machine but the drink wasn't coming out. Creasing her brow, she moved to the back a little and Bella came over and put her coin into the machine too.

" Why is the drink not coming out?" she asked no one in particular.

" thats because you are here. the vending machine doesn't want to sell for you. " Clarita replied and hit the machine hard, twice.

" Its out!" Bella shouted and picked her own drink. " Thank you!" she said and walked away.

she was just about to leave the art room when she heard the uproar outside...

" It seems Nelson is coming around here..." she mumbled to herself and immediately...

" It's Nelson! it's Nelson!" Everyone in the room heard the noise of the girls outside and they all looked toward the door to look at their school hunk.

" Do you think he is here to apologize to you?" Cindy asked Clarita.

Clarita thought about it for a while and shook her head. " I don't think so." she replied. Nelson was never the type to apologize even when he did something worse and she already knew that about him but she hoped... She really hoped he was coming to apologize for what he did even though she knew the possibility was very slim and almost impossible.

Nelson entered the Art room and all the girls in the room gasped at his handsomeness. He searched the room with his eyes and he sighted Clarita...

" Is he really going to say sorry?" Binta whispered when she noticed Nelson gaze on Clarita.

Nelson pocketed his hand and turned toward the direction Clarita was sitting while Clarita lowered her head, feeling tensed...

He increased his steps as he, without any hesitation walked past Clarita and toward the vending machine!

" What?! he wasn't coming for you?!" Cindy asked, feeling annoyed and disgusted at Nelson silly attitude.

Clarita's heart ached badly as she raised her head only to see Nelson struggling with the machine.

" I know I'm not stupid but I'm stupid when you are involved"
