Chubby Love

Chapter 2.

Freddy's pursuit of Lumi was steady and advanced everyday since the soccer game. He would make sure to say hi to her everyday and they even sat at the same lunch table now. Ren, Jade and Oliver of course were there as well. Lumi still wasn't sure about Freddy but he was kind to her or so she thought. She had no clue about his and Chloe's plan to trick Lumi into liking Freddy. It was slowly working though. He had sparked something she hadn't felt in a long time, not since Ren.

That day he walked her to every class and at the end he asked to speak to her privately. She was so nervous but curious as well. Jade wished her luck as she stepped away with him. He was in his usual athletic wear and she was in a plain t-shirt with jeans. Once they were in a secluded area he turned to her and smiled his charming smile that melted most of the female's at school.

"So Lumi, we've been kind of talking for a while now and.." He paused, pretending to be shy. Lumi smiled up at him and nodded him along.

"Ha um I was wondering if you had any feelings for me." She blushed a little from his bluntness.

"Umm...well..."

He stopped her. "No worries, it's ok. You don't have to answer now."

He was disappointed when he noticed his charms for the past month weren't working as well as he assumed. So he decided to up the ante.

"I just want you to know that I like you." He smiled devilishly. His blue eyes twinkled when he noticed her blushing even more. He thought her reaction was cute.

"I'm having a party tomorrow at my house. Everyone's invited. You should come."

"Okay, can I bring Jade?" She asked. She was confused why she sounded so timid.

"Of course! I got to go but see you tomorrow night." He was about to jet off but then remembered to stop and give her a hug before he left.

What just happened...? Her head was spirling.

When Lumi got home she got to texting Jade immediately.

"He said what?!?"

"I Like U!!!!! To me!"

"Oh my God I knew it!"

"He also invited us to his house tomorrow for a party!"

"Oh my GOD! Wait what did you say back to him!?"

Lumi dropped her phone onto her bed when she laid back. Her phone was going off with messages from Jade. Is this really happening? I mean it's Freddy. He's like the number one playboy at school. But what if he really likes me for me!? Ah! She thought to herself. It had been forever since she felt anything for a guy since Ren. Ren. She sat up and looked out her window that faced the street. She looked at his house like she had in the past from time to time. She didn't know why but it comforted her to see their house and sometimes Mr. Kim watering the yard. It reminded her of the best time of her life. When they were best friends and always at each other's house. Ren was the first guy she had ever had feelings for and this moment was a reminder that those days were gone and never coming back. She told herself confidently that she should see where things go with Freddy and that she didn't want to think about her past with Ren anymore. But why does he still have the keychain?

She fell asleep no longer dreaming about Ren but instead Freddy appeared.

"I'm here!!" Jade shouted from the living room speed walking to Lumi's room.

"Come in!" Lumi shouted back a little frantically.

When she opened the door she saw Lumi in a pair of black pleather leggings and a black top with transparent sleeves. There were small pearls beaded sporadically.
