Trapped

Chapter 11: Be a Dora, be an Explorer

Samantha's POV

It's Monday and we are here in the cafeteria right now.

While eating, I noticed that Ivory is trying to talk to Avril but the latter seems to ignore her and just continue eating.

During the sleepover, Avril was quiet the whole time so we weren't able to enjoy the most out of it and up until now, she still looked bothered and down.

I guess what Amy said hold a deeper meaning to her that caused so much impact on her.

I looked over to the table of the three and surprisingly, they are quiet because the loudest of them all is currently looking at this girl in front of me which is not in her sassy mode right now.

I felt that Isabelle is looking at me so I met her gorgeous eyes but remembering what happened last Friday made me pull out from the stare.

I still can't understand the purpose of being her secret girlfriend because even now, we can't even talk about it.

'Guess it's just a title I secretly hold' I muttered disappointingly.

-----------------

When the bell rang, we all stand up and decided to head back now in the classroom.

I didn't bother to look nor make a move for Isabelle to notice me when she entered the room because this whole set-up of ours is making me disappointed.

'Not that I was expecting for something to happen though' I thought, trying so hard not to admit the expectations that I had when I decided to enter this whole thing.

"Okay class, please settle down," Our teacher said as she enters the room.

"What we will be having for today is an activity and it would be by pair," She said again.

"What would be the activity Miss?" One of our female classmates asked.

Our teacher nodded and proceeded to explain the task we have for her subject.

"I want you guys to go to the library. You and your partner will choose the most interesting book for the both of you and then make a summarization about it" She said while looking at every one of us.

"Boring" I heard Allison mutter.

I looked at her and she quickly composed herself.

"I-uh, I mean it would be fun if you will be my partner," She said while smiling shyly at me.

I heard the girl beside me silently hissed but I just ignored her.

I just hummed and smiled timidly at Allison and just listened to our teacher giving the list of the partners.

A part of me doesn't want to be Isabelle's partner because I don't know if I can handle being near to her but I know for a fact that deep inside, I am also wishing to be her partner.

"Miller..." Our teacher called then looked at me.

I hold my breath, waiting to know who will be my partner.

"You and Mr. Garcia will be partners," She said then looked at the boy that's also wearing an eyeglass.

I heard how Allison mutter something in protest but she knows she can do nothing about it.

I looked at Isabelle but she's looking outside again so I cannot see any emotion or reaction from her.

'How I wish she would also react disapprovingly' I sighed and just decided to listen again.
