Sticking with you (bxb)

Chapter 48

Lisa's pov.

(A few days later, Friday at school)

"Why are you staring at me like this Lisa?" Sophia asked while heading out of the cafeteria, striding. We were literally running behind her so that we could reach her. My eyes were stuck to her, trying to see clearly, to examine

"What?" I asked confused at the suddenness of her question. She had stopped, looking at us with the look she had when she was upset about something. It always made me shudder when my body was under the gaze of those empty eyes of happiness

"You keep staring at me like I murdered someone, since Tuesday and it's irritating" her face was contorted in pure rage. She kept muttering incoherent words but I wasn't paying much attention. This time for some reason the way she was constantly flipping her hair back, making the small butterfly tattoo to the back of her neck, that no one was able to see, show off had caught my attention

Jamie patted me slightly, taking me out of my trance. It was possible that he had noticed my impassive face and that Sophia's gaze was waiting for answers. Lucky to have him here. When I looked at him he gave me a look, without being afraid to make an obvious gesture, pointing at the girl across from us. I turned toward Sophia with a small smile, crossing my hands over my chest

"It's nothing Sophie, really" her mouth had stopped moving seconds ago and now the light red color was fading from her face

"Okay" she whispered, lowering her head as if she was hiding her guilt for yelling at us, if she felt any guilt

"Anyway" I took a deep breath, realizing all my anxious feelings. I looked at her face which was now raised, back at her normal color and was looking directly at me "how are you feeling?"

"Lisa" Jamie warned me, taking my arm and squeezing it lightly, making sure not to leave any bruises. Not averting his gaze, he gave a smile to Sophia

"I'm fine" she awkwardly said, staring at both of us confused but at the same time she looked scared. After a few seconds of staring deep into each other's eyes she turned around telling us that she was heading to her locker alone and then straight up to her class. I kept following her with my eyes full of confusion as her pace quickened, like she was running away from us, disappearing down the hallway. Was I that obvious?

"Ok, stop looking at her now, she's gone" Jamie whispered in my ear, making me let out a small yelp in the process. I immediately turned around, my heart beating at its normal rate now. With his eyes he was already telling me that indeed I was definitely obvious a few seconds ago

"Sorry, it's that I can't believe it" I pointed out sadly, already feeling the guilt creeping through my body. My mind was constantly saying to me that I had seemed like a total idiot and I couldn't stop thinking of it. I didn't try even to justify myself, I knew that I was a complete one

"That she is...?" he trailed off, not getting to get in the end with this question. He knew what I was talking about

"And this, but above all, that she did not want to share anything" I could have changed our conversation and talk about something happier but the little tightness in my heart wouldn't let me think that this was a small problem to think about and then forget in a minute. I looked behind me towards the cafeterias doors, slowly opening and kids pouring out with happiness. I miss these moments so much and my nostalgic smile was telling it all. I felt a cold touch at my hand and I turned around, already grabbing it tightly with my warm one

"It's not easy" he whispered and I just couldn't help but agree

"Yeah, you're right" I heard Jamie sigh and squeezed his hand, showing him that I was here
