Chapter- 11
It was the last ten minutes of their school, her teacher has just left them. Naomi turned and saw Lisa talking with her friends. She’s dating her brother but still hasn't come and had a friendly conversation with Naomi. She wondered whether she’s not too welcoming? Confusing about such things won’t be good at this time so Naomi turned eyes to Derek. He has been reading a book since morning whenever he gets free time.
It’s about architecture stuff, she loves how passionate he is. She didn’t disturb him.
Behind her, Jorge is sitting and playing a video game.When they were kids she thought Jorge’s interest in video games would fade out but it didn’t. Over the years he ha
Chapter- 12It was during their lunch break, after finishing the lunch earlier, Naomi, Julia, Leon, and Elijah went to the playground to hang out under the red maple tree. It’s their favorite hang-out spot. Beside them, a group of basket players discussing something. Since it’s a sports season, many players were practicing on the ground even Magnus, along with his teammates. Derek and Jorge were in the class to play a video game.“Today is so warm, isn’t it?” Julia said.“Yeah, and we don’t have classes, that’s so great more than anything,” Leon smiled.“But, I have an important class which I can’t skip and I need to go in ten minutes,” Naomi frowned.“Even if tha
Chapter- 13 Jorge is way more silent that evening and Derek noticed that. He had not even touched his computer, which is rare, and was sitting on his window sill looking at the cloudy sky. “Hey, what happened to you?” Derek asked, closing his book. “Nothing,” Jorge nods with a smile. “Are you thinking about your secret admirer?” Derek's question turned him shy. “No, not at all,” “That’s it, you are thinking about her?” Derek chuckled. “Why did you say that to everyone? I wanted to keep this as a secret,” Jorge frowned.
Chapter- 14 The entire day she kept thinking about how she’s going to talk with Nick. He always teased and embarrassed her and she’s afraid to talk about this matter as he would do the same but how long she can stay calm. She needs everything to be stopped and she wanted a very normal relationship with him. That’s it. At lunchtime, she came late, so she missed the opportunity to talk with Nickolas but she has decided to talk with him no matter what, so she messaged him: I need to talk to you. Just a moment later, she got a reply from him: Meet me in the playground now. Is he waiting for this? She thought and looked at Jorge. “Hey, Jorge. I am going to the library,” Naomi said.
Chapter- 15 Naomi didn’t utter a single word about what happened between her and Nickolas. She just wants that memory to die in her brain but at the same time, she keeps thinking about him and the way he confessed. It’s something least she expected to happen. She just hopes she and Nick will forget this incident as time passes. Their feelings eventually fade away in life's run. That’s the best for her and Nickolas, Naomi huffs thinking about that while standing under the shower. After a thoughtful bath, she came out and wore her pajamas. Looking at herself in the mirror, she asked this question, “Can I stay without minding his love life?” “No. I can’t, then how could I keep my word?” she said, keeping her face sad.
Chapter- 16 It was raining heavily in the evening, Naomi is in the library as she wanted a private moment for herself out of all the confusion that’s happening in her life. She just looked at the rain through the window. It’s so beautiful outside and she wondered what Nickolas is doing now. God! Why am I thinking about him? She frowned and turned to the entrance of the library. Derek entered looking at her and she huffed to find him here. Why Lord? Why? She thought and plastered a smile across her face. She couldn't avoid him and at the same time, she couldn’t be with him. “Hey, I thought I must be here?” Derek said. “Yeah, I just came here to study,” she answe
Chapter- 17 “Hey, do you know what happened yesterday?” Naomi said on the phone, lying on her bed. “What?” Julia asked. “Yesterday evening, Derek came to see me and questioned if there's anything between me and Nickolas," Naomi said. “So what did you say?” “There’s nothing between me and Nickolas. That’s what I said to him but he didn’t believe me at all. Then he confessed that he’s getting hurt if I am sad. He’s so weird, Jules,” “Do you think he’s going to propose to you?” Julia asked. “I don’t know and how could I find that?” Naomi shrugged.
Chapter- 18 When Naomi was working on a math problem, she had doubts and she knew who would help her. It’s none other than her father, she went to her dad’s study room carrying her books. Her dad asked her to come in when she knocked on the door. “Hey, honey,” he smiled. It’s a very rare thing that he’s staying in the house at this time. He usually leaves to attend his meetings and other businesses but today he’s not at all working which is even more surprising. “Can you help me solve this problem?” she asks. “Sure,” he nods. “I thought you were intelligent enough to do these things and it's been so long since you came here as
Chapter- 19 When Naomi was walking to the class, she didn’t think about anyone. Her mind is blank on that beautiful afternoon. Today her mom dropped her in the school, as she woke up late, got ready slowly, and skipped the morning three classes. She doesn’t want to attend school today but at the same time, she can’t be at peace after skipping her important classes so she came to school with no other option. Her mom and brothers asked whether she’s not well but she just replied that she’s fine. What else she can say, tell them the truth that she’s now dating Nickolas. On one side, it kind of gave her relief but that she finally gave closer to her one-sided feelings but on the other side, she’s anxious t
