My Crush's Bestfriend ✔️

Chapter 32 : Talent Show

♡ Jessica Woods ♡

I got a notification while I was playing Subway Surfers and when I noticed it was a text message from the board of prefects group, I instantly tapped it and read the message which was sent by our prefects' in-charged teacher.

Attention Guys!

Tomorrow all the prefects should be presented in school on time and no one could get absent tomorrow. Plus, don't forget to bring your blazers.

My face brightened a little when I saw the thumbs-up emoji Jace has sent below this message. So that meant, he would come to school tomorrow.

I think I'm slightly excited about tomorrow.

"Aren't you happy that we both have same duties?" Louise squealed, looking at the notice board and I forced out a smile, nodding my head.

"I am."

"Well, well. Let's go in then." she told, linking her arm through mine and I sighed as I wasn't too excited about this talent show as much as Louise was.

I haven't seen Jace since now but I knew he wouldn't get absent today as today was one of our greatest fund raising event, The Talent Show. Plus, The board of prefects were so glad that the whole population of our school was buying the ticket and attending the show today.

"Oh crap." Louise abruptly stopped walking and turned to look at me. "Jessie, can you wait here for me? I'll be back in a minute." she said hurriedly and I frowned.

"Why? What happened?"

"I brought the blazer with its hanger, so I have to go and keep it." she replied and I let out a loud sigh. "So just wait here for me. Don't go anywhere okay?" she ordered and I nodded, rolling my eyes.

"I won't. Just come soon, Lou. We don't have much time to waste." I stated and she gave me thumbs-up sign while scurrying down. I sighed inaudibly and leaned against the wall, staring at the direction she went.

Then I glanced around the empty place, tapping my foot on the floor as I started to lose my patience when the seconds turned to minutes.

Suddenly I felt a shadow beside me and when I turned the other side to look who it was, I jumped in surprise when I met the chocolate brown eyes of Samuel who was standing extremely closer to me.

"S-Samuel?" I stuttered, trying not to make an eye contact with him. What's he doing here? He smirked a little, placing his hand on the wall next to my head, and my heart started to pound in my chest already.

"To be frank, I actually underestimate you." he whispered, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear and I gazed down, gripping my blazer tightly. I was a bit relieved that nobody was around right now. "You're really good at such things. Even Claire Danes would get jealous of you." He stated mockingly and I looked up at him, wondering why he was bringing up a celebrity's name out of the blue.

"Why? Because I could live happily ever after with my Romeo?" I asked and it made him scoff in response.

"You wish. It's because.. you can break a long-term relationship just like that as if it's a child's play for you."

So he thinks I'm a homewrecker?

"What are you talking about? What did I do?" I asked with a frown on my face.

"Tell me something you didn't do." he retorted and his face slowly began to harden. "The four of us were so close and have a bond with each other. And eventhough we insult one another, we don't let any people to hurt or insult any of our friends.." he paused, staring straight into my eyes. "But I don't know what happened after you came. It was like you cast a spell on us or something. Because the four of us were split apart in a short span of time. Ryan's so busy with your bestie and Jace's hating me with passion because of you and above all, you tainted the good soul of Tash." he told, clenching his jaw and I bit my inner cheek as I had no idea why he was saying all these stuffs right now.
