You're the reason behind my S.M.I.L.E

Chapter 17

Jennifer

I turned around and spotted Mr. Reynolds looking worried. "We need to get out of here." He said and took four long strides before grabbing my hand. All I did was look at him dumbfounded as I couldn't seem to focus on anything except the fact that he's looking so cute.

My stomach filled with a freaking zoo when he squeezed my hand as if reassuring me that everything is going to be okay as long as I'm with him.

Once he opened the door, he let go of my hand because other professors were there. The zoo in my stomach was long gone as I looked around and spotted people running to get out of the premises.

We left the building in time and after the fire was put out, all I could hear was people whispering.

Many were injured and an ambulance was there in no time. I spotted some students coughing loudly as they got out from the rooms closer to where the fire broke out.

Some seemed shocked by the incident while others were busy filming a vlog or doing a freaking Instagram live. Gosh, people.

I was startled when someone said, "Hello, my social media stalker." I turned my head only to find the person I was avoiding the most, Axel Dawson. Shit.

"Gosh. You scared the hell out of me." I said putting my hand on my chest.

"Why are you here again?"

"Looks like someone has a crush on me." I looked at him with wide eyes before grabbing his hand and taking him away so no one could hear us.

Once we were several meters away, I spoke before he could say anything rubbish, "Look-" I stopped and looked directly into his gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, "I didn't like your pictures on Instagram, it was my friend, I swear."

"Really?" He said, narrowing his eyes at me as if to check for any signs of lies.

"I'm not interested in you whatsoever." I returned the challenging gaze.

"Cool." He said smiling brightly as if he weren't staring down at me a moment ago. "I knew it, Jennifer Winget would never fall for anybody."

"What? Don't tell me you're a part of an online community called 'No boyfriend for Jennifer' which discusses my non-existent love life." I laughed thinking about it.

"Actually... there is." He said looking dead serious again. My mouth was wide open for any fly to have a look around my mouth.

"Kidding, you're really gullible. See you around." He closed my mouth with his hand before leaving me flabbergasted.

Atleast, I was able to solve one problem.

Audrey:
Hey, I don't want to scare you but your apartment building has been demolished. All of your stuff is delivered to my apartment.

Me:
OMG! What happened?

Audrey:
It was illegally built or something. Don't worry. We'll live together and party all the time.
One more thing, don't go near that area, you know it's filled with dust and all.

Me:
Alright! I'll see you later

For some reason I don't want to go back to Audrey's. I went inside a cute cafe to have a cup of coffee. Light music was playing in the background while I observed the people sitting with their families, friends or partners.

People were happy with their ordinary lives while I was stuck in this spider web.

I still couldn't process what happened today, first that weird call, then fire broke out and even my apartment building is demolished.
