Forever Yours

Chapter 2

Dianna's POV

When the school bell rang for break, I almost cried in relief. During geography lesson, the class had to be in groups of five. I was put in the group with only four members. Guess who are they? They are Cassie's, the girl whom I have accidently offended, biggest fans.

When I first saw them in class, the few words that came into my mind was too much make ups...Throughout the lesson, they talked and did the project and acted as if I do not even exist. It hurts a lot.

Gathering my books swiftly, I dashed out of class.

During breaks, library was my refuge. It is not that I am a bookworm. It is that whenever I am afraid, troubled or stress, I love to escape into the world of books and forget about everything. Even in the few schools I have attended, I did not make many friends. I wasn't outgoing or pretty as the others. People tend to ignore the lone quiet girl or don't even know she exists. The only friends I had are the books.

I must have been too deep in thoughts that I did not see where I was going until I ran smack into a hard wall.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I realised with growing horror that it wasn't a wall I had ran into! It was a very tall guy I smacked into. Swallowing hard, I looked down at my feet and mumbled sorry.

When the guy did not reply, I looked up to see a pair of eyes staring intently into mine.

"Erm...I am sorry?" I whispered.

The boy blinked slowly and weirdly, I was just thinking 'wish I had eyelashes as long as thick as you'. Usually, boys with long eyelashes would to me look gayish. But staring at the boy in front of me, he was anything but gayish.

He had the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen and coupled with his sinful eyelashes, he could make any girls swoon just by blinking at them. He had a high, but not too sharp nose that most nonhuman I have seen seems to have.

His dark brown hair was thick and look like I-had-just-woken-up-and-combed-my-hair-with-my-fingers messy. I had to resist the urge to straighten and tidy it for him. He had a very broad chest that looks a mile long to me.

He is quite well muscled and I could see how the seemingly extra small shirt straining over his muscular arms and hugging his six pack. His stomach muscles ripple with every breathe he took in. Once again, I had to resist the urge to ran my hands all over him to check if his muscles are as hard as I thought was when I first bumped into him.

He had to be at least 1.8m as I, a 1.54m, had to raise my head about 135 degrees to meet his eye...which was still staring at me!

Clearing my suddenly dry throat, I waved my hand in front of his face and said, “Are you alright?"

He blinked as if he has just snapped out of dreamland.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. Did I hurt you?"

I almost giggled. I was the one who ran into him and here he was, apologising to me. Blushing shyly, I shook my head.

"Hey, are you new here? Even though I just got back from my six months’ vacation, I do not remember seeing you in this school before."

Soo... that why he's talking to me. He didn't know that I have offended the most popular girl in school. I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. The cutest guy I have ever met seems so nice and sweet. In a few minutes when he had known what happened to make me this unpopular, I will be back to Miss Invisible.

Squishing down my disappointment, I mumble,"yea" and ran past him. Tears streamed down my face. However, before I could have even taken three steps, strong arms were wrapped around me and a very concern face asked,"What's wrong?"

I cried even harder. He took of my specs and pulled me closer to him. He made soothing sound while rubbing my back comforting. When my sobs subsided, he asked again, “What’s wrong?"

I do not know why but when I was in his arms, I felt safe, wanted and most of all, I don't feel like I was alone. I could not stop myself from pouring out all my troubles to him. I told him how much I had suffered living with my mum's relatives, how lonely I had been without any friends, how I had wanted to start a new in this school but still failed. Sniffing, I rubbed my swollen eyes. Putting back my specs, I was just about to say something when it occurred to me.

Swollen?!

It is already a disgrace to cry in front a cute guy. I couldn't possibly let his see my swollen eyes and tomato red nose! I jerked away from him and covered my face with my hands. I do not dare to face him now.

Large, warm hands cupped my face and he turned my head to face him. Peeking at him through my fingers, I mumbled," please let me go."

"Have I asked something I shouldn't ask? Have i offended you?"

I could hear how puzzled he sound.

"I know I look very ugly now so I do not want you to see."

"Don't worry. I have friends telling me how disgusting I was when I cried when I was a kid. I had buckets of snot pouring down my nose."

I looked up and stared at him in shock. He so did not say what I just heard!

"Piff...hahaha!" I burst out laughing.

Sniffling, I calmed down and smiled shyly at him. "Thank you for cheering me up."

Giving me a serious look, he said,"I was not joking with you."

I stare at him for a long time.

"Seriously. I wasn't joking with you." He frowned as if he could not believe that I did not believe his words. I stare harder at him.

"Okay. Maybe I did exaggerate a little..." he said while cocking his head slightly to one side and gave me his most innocent look. I was just about to open my mouth when...

"Chase! You moron! I didn't know that you are back until mum told me!" Cassie shrieked out from a distant away.

Next thing I knew, she was on him, hugging him as if she was clinging onto him for life. Before she had a chance to notice my presence, I fled towards the library.
