Trapped

Chapter 6: Confrontation

Samantha's POV

I am currently walking to the school gate right now when I suddenly bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry," I said mindlessly without looking at the person I just bumped into.

The person just hissed before walking away.

I continued walking while my eyes are almost closing.

All I want right now is to lay on my bed and sleep.

I was not able to have a good sleep last night because I kept on thinking about my sudden indirect admission of my feelings to Isabelle.

My mind last night was clouded with the thoughts of Isabelle and me trying to convince myself that my feelings for her are not deep where I would allow myself to be consumed by it and will try to confess to her.

The mere thought of confessing my feelings to someone especially to Isabelle terrifies me.

I always remind myself not to be trapped with love and in someone's arms because I'm afraid to be hurt.

'Who wouldn't'? I said, trying to console myself.

It is not as if I'm afraid to have a deep feeling for someone because once upon a time, I fell in love with someone and that someone broke my heart.

That's not it because it sounds so cliché.

It is just simple as I don't want to.

I stopped from my train of thoughts when I realized that I was already outside our classroom.

I sat at my chair without minding the people around me.

I put my head on my desk and was about to take a nap because I still have 15 minutes before classes will start when I felt a poke on my shoulder.

I looked up with my eyes half-open and I saw Ivory.

She sat on Isabelle's seat before cupping my face.

"What happened? Didn't you get enough sleep last night?" She asked.

I just hummed in response.

Ivory placed my head on her shoulder while stroking the strand of my hair.

Her gesture soothes me and when I was about to sleep again, someone spoke.

"Would you mind going back to where you should be?" Isabelle asked to Ivory.

As usual, her voice is still as cold as her enchanting blue eyes but there's something in the way she asked Ivory that made me shiver.

Being too sleepy, I just ignored it.

"Hey Sammy, I will go back to my seat now" Ivory said as she gently caressed my cheek to wake me up.

Instead of letting go, I just snuggled at her more.

'I just want to sleep for a couple of minutes. Let me sleep people.' I said to myself, silently pleading everyone.

"5 minutes Ivo" I mumbled near my best friend's neck.

I felt that she stiffed but I just ignored it.

She said something to Isabelle but I was not able to understand it because I feel like I'm chasing a little time to sleep and it keeps running away.

I almost screamed when our first subject teacher arrived and now my chance of sleeping had completely gone.

"I need to go back to my seat now Sammy, just sleep later during break time" Ivory said before returning to her seat.
