The Crystal Academy: Winter

Chapter 14

Ada turned towards her right, she already knew what or rather who she would find there

Amar was sitting there, a frown on his face

He looked relaxed on the surface but there was a certain reslessness in him

Ada could notice his small giveaways, the way he was flexing his fist, the way his foot was tapping slowly almost imperceptibly.

She had no idea why she noticed it, but it seemed she was tuned to  him

He was looking at her waiting for an answer but she had no idea what she should say

She looked at him blankly

He gestured up and down with his forefinger

Oh right! Her appearance

Wait a second what did he mean by it though?

"Excuse me? " Ada finally spoke,not sure what to say

"Stop pretending sweetheart" he said with a smirk

"What.... What do you mean? " she asked

Surely he cannot know, it is not possible, she had disguised herself almost from the beginning

His smirk widened

He reached out his hand

Ada leaned back , to avoid it

"What are you doing? " she asked, angry now, who did he think he was!

"Stop moving! " he commanded "I want to see you"

"You are seeing me, you are not blind! " she seethed, as she got up from the stone bench and went away from him

He held her hand to stop her

She could feel her wrist tingle, where he had held her

What the heck was wrong with her?

"Lea... Leave me" Ada said twisting her wrist

His hold just tightened

"Where is you earring?"  he asked

"How does it matter to you!? " Ada asked as she turned towards him, and made another futile effort to free her wrist, tugging at it

"Sweetheart, everything about you matters to me" Amar said, his eyes looking intensely in hers

"Is this how you get all those girls to pant after you? " she said snidely

He grinned "Are you jealous? "

Was he enjoying this?

"Are you nuts? " she retorted

"Where is that earring? " he asked again, there was no distracting him, it seems

"I threw it"she said , though she flushed pink, Ada never lied not about such trivial things anyway and when she did she would turn pink

He laughed! That arrogant jerk!

"Hey! Why are you laughing " she asked irritated

"Because sweetheart -" he started folding her sleeves upward, Ada had not realized he was still holding her wrist

As he folded the sleeve, soon the blue feather started revealing itself inch by inch

Stupid Ada! Why did you put it there, she had firmly decided not to wear the earring, but at the last moment she could not bear to leave it there and had slipped it inside her sleeve

Ada looked mortified, as he held her wrist right before her eyes to see

"Hide as long as you want sweetheart, but sooner or later, your truth will come out!" he said in a somber tone , he then dropped her hand and walked away

Ada stood there watching him, he was handsome and athletic and quite popular too, why did he bother her though?

He was whistling as he walked, a very weird tune at that, it did not suit him at all, but it sonded somewhat familiar

Ada stood there watching him, until he was but a dot in the snow
