Chapter 8 {Edited}
···
Jessica Choi's POV
I promised that I will wake up earlier than the usual time I do. And, I'm not late for class, but so early instead. Even though I slept late last night.
What or who me slept late last night, is Kris who wouldnt make my mind rest. He made me think of him. Even in my dreams he appeared.
Is this normal if you like someone?
But now, he wont tease me anymore about being late.
But I'm still ashamed of myself about what happened yesterday. That's not a good alibi. I should've thought of a better one. I mean, Math? There are some who loves Math but I think most of us hates it. That x? Aish. She's not coming back. They dont know how to accept that fact. Tss.
Later on, I saw Kris entering. "Good morning." I said to him and smiled.
"You're early." Kris answered.
"You teased me because I'm always late now you're teasing me for being this early?" I said and chuckled a bit, "And second... That is the best greeting I've ever heard."
"Thank You." He said and smiled.
He's so cute when he smiled, even though you see his gums! Hahaha! Okay, it suits him though.
"Why are you smiling?" He unexpectedly asked.
Oh God. I didnt know that I smiled when I was thinking about it. I need to cover up. Think about a better alibi this time Jessica.
"Uhm. It-it's because I-I-."
"Okay." he said and smiled.
Failed. But it's his fault, he didnt let me finish. Yeah.
"So, your birthday is near, right?" he asked.
"Yeah. Why?" I asked too.
"Nothing." he shrugged and I just nodded.
By this actions of mine, am I making it obvious that I like him? Like stuttering, my mind flying out of nowhere, whatnot.
···"I dont know what is happening to me! Im making it obvious that I like him and I just my mouth starts to stutter when I get nervous." I said to Kal Min and Rian.
"Crazy! You really stutter when you get nervous!" Rian patted me and that made me wince a little bit because that hurts.
"Then its better when he knows about it. Why dont you tell him." Kal Min shrugged. I took a bite on my sandwich.
"I'm a girl, I'm not desperate, and I just like him. Like and Love are two different words. Not only on how they are spelled but also in meaning." I said back morally.
Suddenly, Kris, Baekhyun and Chanyeol came to our table.
"Okay." Baekhyun said as he yawned and attempted to rest his hands on Rian's shoulder but Rian patted his hands.
"Failed." I said to Baek and laughed. "But we learn from our mistakes." I added. What made me say that?!
Yeah. We learn from our mistakes. I made a 'not so good' alibi for two times.
"You've made two lessons for me Jess but the one is sure known." Kal Min laughed.
I smiled. "What lesson?"
"That we learn from our mistakes and that 'Like' and 'Love' are two different words." She said and I caught her took a glance at Chanyeol! Kal Min! You cant hide what you are feeling! Hahahaha!
I just chuckled and looked at Kris who is also looking directly at me.
Waah! His gaze made me tremble.
I still didn't took my eyes off him but afterwards, he shrugged, smiled and looked on the different direction.
"Jessica! Your birthday is coming!" Rian said cheerfully.
"Yeah. But Im not excited. I dont want to get old," I laughed, "I want to be forever young."
"There's no such thing as forever." A guy passed by. I think that's our classmate named Kai. Bitter much?
"There is!" We all said in unison.
We all looked at each other and laughed.
"That," Kal Min paused, "Is amazing!" she said that made us laugh again.
I think I'll die out of laughter.
"Be honest guys okay?" Rian said. "Do you like someone here?" She then looked at me.
Now what? That must have a purpose. Riaaan!
"Yes." Kris nodded same as Chanyeol and Kal Min.
Haaaay. Huhu. Rian. No.
"What kind of question is that?" I smiled but I'm not happy, thats not what I meant so I smiled. It's just a fake smile. "Okay. Change topic." I giggled.
"Hey Jess, want to come with me when I go home." Kal Min said.
I nodded. "Sure. I think Anne will have a meeting with her friends later."
*ring*
"Oh no." We all said, terrified because our next subject is Math, and in addition, our teacher is a terror. That's the best word to describe her. Not only that subject but also the teacher. Haaaay.
"Let's go." I said and stood up as they followed and we went to our room lazily.
