Chapter 12: The First Date

Samantha's POV

Today is Tuesday and I'm currently taking notes regarding what our teacher is discussing when I saw someone throw a ripped paper on my desk.

I looked at my right side because I am certain that Allison was the one who throws it.

"What is this?" I mouthed to her secretly.

"Just open it" She replied, trying to avoid being caught and interrupt the discussion.

I was about to open the paper when I felt that the person beside me is looking so I tried hiding the paper and opened it

'Wanna grab snacks later after class?' I read in my mind.

I tried looking at her but she seems to avoid my gaze.

For a moment, I became curious as to why she wants to go out and grab some snacks with me when in fact, we rarely talk. Yes, we sometimes talk but not really that much so I don't know what to feel about this.

'Or maybe I should just agree and we could talk and I'll have a new friend?' I thought.

Seems like a good idea so I folded the paper that she gave to me, slid it inside the pocket of my jeans, and faced her.

When she finally looked in my direction, I mouthed her 'sure' before settling on my seat again to listen to the discussion.

While attentively listening to our teacher, I noticed that my seatmate seems to be uneasy so I looked at her.

"What's the problem?" I asked her softly.

She didn't answer me and just avoided meeting my eyes.

I sighed. I thought that after what happened yesterday, there would be progress or change with how she treats me but I guess I was wrong.

Yesterday...

She pulled out when we already ran out of breath.

"You were saying something about being straight?" She asked teasingly while she arches her eyebrow and a smirk plastered on her gorgeous face.

I instantly blushed and looked away. I didn't dare to talk back because I am afraid that my mind and mouth would betray me.

"What about our activity?" I asked, trying to divert the topic.

I saw how she faltered after hearing that we still have something to do.

'Seems like for a moment, she also lost track with reality' I thought while trying to suppress a smile.

"Do you want to go back to the library now?" She asked simply.

'At least she's not using her cold voice to me' I thought.

"Do you?" I asked her back while observing all her actions.

She walked into the mini-library of this room and pulled a book. She opened it and scan the pages.

I can't help but feel awed by how graceful she moves.

'This girl is just too perfect' I thought while still looking at her.

"To be honest..." She started, cutting me off from shamelessly looking at her.

"I still don't want to," She said and looked straight through my eyes.

From that moment, I suddenly felt that I want to submit myself to her because it feels dangerously right to be with her but I know better than to give my everything to her while she just sees this as a mere exploration.
