HIM and My WHYS [ PerthSaint ] Unedited

Chapter 13: Love

S A I N T

We are at the cafeteria. It's lunch time. Win and Mean were eating seriously while I was getting uncomfortable because of the stares that the students around us are giving. It's been almost 2 weeks since our performance at prom happened and ever since that day our little circle gained even more attention which made me a little uncomfortable. They're also taking pictures of us like we're some kind of a celebrity.

" Just eat Saint and pretend that they don't exist. " Mean said. He might've noticed me.

" How can I even do that? " I said with an irritated tone.

What are they gonna do with those pictures? Hang in the wall and worship? I doubt it will even sale.

" Like you always do in the past. " It was Win who answered this time so I raised my eye brow at him.

" I tried okay. It's even more uncomfortable this time. Why do they keep on staring? " I said and almost yell.

" On Mean and I's case, it's because we're both pretty and handsome and on your case, it's because your voice is fantastic and your performance at prom was amazing. " Win said while giving me a teasing smile and Mean just giggled. I just gave Win a flat look.

" You're no fun. " Win said and then laughed with Mean. They're heartless.

" Yow! " I froze because of that voice. I just looked down at my plate of untouched food when I felt a presence that sat on the vacant seat on my front. It's Perth.

Ever since our performance at prom Bright, Plan, and Perth started eating at the cafeteria with us which I don't mind, I even loved it. But there's a problem. Perth won't talk to me anymore, so I didn't talk to him too. I don't know why he's acting that way but he's hurting me. I don't know if he's angry or upset or whatever. Maybe it's his way of rejecting me after hearing my confession.

I finally had the courage to look up to him only to see him staring at me so I stared back. I don't see any emotions on his feature so it's making me scared even more.

The thoughts that he might've rejected me and he's angry at me right now made my mood go down. I don't know what I look right now but I saw his features change into soft. He reached my hands and squeeze it a bit which sent electric volts all over my body. His hand is so soft and warm.

" Saint, what's wrong? " It's been weeks since I last heard his voice. I felt my lips tremble, am I about to cry? In front of him?

I took a glance at the others and saw that they're busy chatting at each other. I felt relieved, I thought they were being nosy again.

" Hey, Saint. " Perth said. I shifted my attention to him.

" W-what? " I asked that sounded like a whisper.

" What's wrong with you? " He asked softly. I slapped his hand that's above mine with my other hand, but not that hard. He frowned and I frowned too.

" You're angry at me. " I said as I felt my lips tremble.

" I'm not. " He said then looked even more confused.

" You are! Why are aren't you talking to me then? You don't even spare me a glance. " I said as I made sure he's the only one that can hear me.

" It's you who aren't talking to me, Saint. It's you who aren't sparing me a glance. I've always been staring at you and you'll just ignore me. " He said sounding a little sad. When I think about it, he's right. I felt bad.
