Chapter Twenty Five : Say what??

                                  SIERRA.

It's been a week now.

A week since Den and I heatedly made out at his place and I've been over the moon since then, not that I can say that out loud. Thankfully, things didn't get that awkward between us even for a tad bit. After that night, in the morning we ate breakfast together in his kitchen and he tried to steal some kisses, of course he won and I'm not complaining. Since then, we've been acting....coupley, if that's even a word. We hold hands, kiss, goof around even though we were doing that even before and Den brought me a rose flower to school today. I know, cute and all. I've been smiling ever since and my friends have tried and tried to get the reason for my giddiness out of me in vain. Denver hasn't asked me out yet but I see it coming. I'm not being over confident here, just positive and I'd definitely say yes because I mean, I like him or maybe even love him.

I get a text from him saying he's on his way to the airport to leave for New York and I reply wishing him a safe journey and wishing him good luck with confronting his dad. I also remind him to be safe because after his father knows his secret is known to his son, he might show his true colours you never know. I send him kisses too and put away my phone into my bag with a huge smile plastered on my face. I don't know when I'll be ready to talk to my parents about what I found out because it seems really hard, like I invaded their privacy or something. I sigh as my mood dissipates as I walk into my last period, English class already wanting to get done with the day.

"Hey Sia," Elsa, a friend I made in this English class, greets as I take the seat just next you. I blow out a breath of exhaustion.

"Hey Elsa. Can't wait for this day to be over already ugh." I groan and she groans shortly after too.

"I know, right? No wonder the class is dull. Everyone's tired as hell." I look around and indeed most people's heads are on their lockers, napping.

"Hello students," the English teacher comes in to start teaching and Elsa and I turn to face the front. The teacher goes on teaching about something like nouns and stuff but I am not in the mood to care so I decide to look away. Time thankfully flies by so fast and we're out of class shortly after. I find my friends waiting for me just outside my class since we're all on the same floor for our last period on Wednesdays.

"Hey guys," I greet with a smile as they turn to me from their banter.  "Hey chicá," Alicia says with a broad smile coming to my side and putting her arm over my shoulder.

"How was physics class?" I ask knowing the answer even before she tells me. She groans and starts her rant about how the teacher hates her, that he always picks her to explain shit to the class, her words not mine. We end up at our usual restaurant, the one we went to the first time I hanged out with them. Since then, it has become our second home. As soon as we leave school, all roads lead to that place. At this point we don't even ask each other where we're before we leave school.We just know. I can't believe I've been with these people for more than ten months. Who would have thought Sia would keep friends? Huh. Admittedly, I thought they would get tired or bored of me and leave but to my surprise, they didn't. Infact, we just got closer as time passed by and I'm more than grateful for them. We're approaching our final exams and then prom is after the exams but people are so excited as though it's tomorrow. Highschool kids are something else. Denver has finals for rugby too and he's hoping to get a scholarship to a university that plays rugby. I remember he never really liked rugby before but now, when I see him practise with his friends, the happiness and life exuding from him while he's on the field is real. I'm happy for him and I only want the best for him. Because I love him. Yes I confirmed it today when he brought me flowers. Not only that but also the love between us has really taken a higher step and I'm here for it. I'm nolonger scared about him not liking me back because he's made it pretty obvious this past week. Like I said earlier, I'm over the moooon hehe.
