Should I Trust Him

Chapter 20

[Wave's Perspective]

"Wave!" Traffic yelled behind me. "Wait a minute! Can't we walk together?"

Pretending not to hear him, I started to walk a little bit faster, not wanting to walk side by side as I knew that would catch some attention from the other students. The last thing I wanted right now was more attention from other people. I had already had escaped from the center of attention in the classroom when the 2moons members came towards me by leaving the classroom quickly.

Why the heck do we have to walk side by side anyways! We live in the same dorm!

When these thoughts were going through my head like crazy, I felt a hand on my wrist, causing me to stop and turn around. I could guess who had held my my wrist as there were only two people who would dare to do this act; however, one of them would never do this.

"Didn't you hear me?" Traffic asked turning me around to face him.

"Of course I heard you," I said with an annoyed look on my face. "You were shouting. Everyone heard you. I was obviously ignoring you."

"I kind of caught up to that when you started walking faster than before," Traffic said with a smile. "You walked away because you didn't want people to start looking towards you, right?"

"If you knew that why did you have to run up to me and grab me," I asked in an annoyed tone. "And can you let go of me now?"

"Well," Traffic started to speak. "I don't want you to be uncomfortable or anything, but that want wasn't able to win the want of me wanting to walk with you back to the dorm. Also, if I let go of you, you're going start running away from me. If you promise not to run away, I will let go of your wrist or we can walk back like this."

I was annoyed that he knew that I knew me too well, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to move towards the room unless I agreed to him, so I nodded my head. Looking too satisfied for my liking, with a smile Traffic let go of my wrist and gestured with his eyes to tell me that we can start walking. I let out a sigh and started walking slowly towards the dorm with Traffic by my side. I didn't dare to walk to quickly as I knew that if I did Traffic would stop me again.

"See," Traffic said with a big smile. "It's nice to walk side by side like this."

I wanted to talk back at him, but I found myself kind of enjoying myself walking besides him. 

I do really like him don't I....

"You like walking with me don't you!?" Traffic said a bit loudly, interrupting my thoughts.

"I-I never said I did!" I shouted louder than I expected.

"If you didn't like it, you would have already given me a cold glare or said you didn't like it, but you didn't say anything," Traffic said as he came closer towards me. "That means that you like walking with me. Or is it that you just like being with me."

I felt a heat rising up in my cheeks because of Traffic's teasing, so I quickly stepped away from Traffic and started walking again towards the dorm. 

[Traffic's Perspective]

I smiled watching Wave walk towards the dorm quickly with a blush on his cheeks rising. I liked that I knew that my actions were able to affect Wave. It meant that he actually cared what I was saying, and that he is starting to come to like me. 

"Wave!" I said as I ran towards him. "Why are you running away from me!? I thought we were going to walk back together!"

With those words Wave stopped for a moment and turned around to face me. His cheeks were still flushed, but his eyes were glaring at me with such coldness that if it was another student, the student would have probably said sorry and ran away by now. However, I wasn't like other students, so I calmly walked towards Wave. Wave stayed still, which surprised me because by the cold glare in his eyes, it would have been common for him to just turn around and walk away when he saw me walking towards him. I smiled, noticing that Wave did care for what I had to say.
