Not So Average Life

42- The end of a playboy

*Blake's point of view
During the last week where I was trying to ask her out, I remembered driving pass her walking her way to school. So as a genius, I decided to walk so I might create a coincident.

So today, I woke up just a little bit earlier, ate my breakfast and ran to the street where I usually see her. I waited there for about 15 minutes until she finally appeared. I was furious I had to wait that long. I wanted to shout at her face for being late but then again I didn't had the right to; and frankly, I didn't know how to approach her. So I just followed behind her. Almost staring at her all the way. Yes I sound like a creep now, but it's all part of the plan. She'd hop a few steps, slightly nodding her head probably according to the beat of the music she's listening in her earphones.

I've been walking to school with... I mean behind Haley for a week now but today she approached me.

As I waited at the street for her and was walking behind her today as usual, she suddenly stopped.

She took off one side of her earphone then turned around, rolled her eyes and sniped, "why aren't you driving to school, don't you have a car Blake? You think I didn't see you trailing me for the past week? or is it stalking?"

I scoffed, "who'd want to stalk you?" I was honestly a little flustered.

"Oh ya, so what are you doing walking?" She sniped.

"I...... decided to do some exercise." I came up with the lamest excuse ever. So f r e a k i n g embarrassed.

"By walking to school? When you probably have multiple private gyms in your mansion?" She replied, suspiciously. "What do you want Carter?"

"Oh my god are you interested in me?" she said looking disgusted.

"What! No!" I bursted.

She rolled her eyes yet again and put her earphone back in like she had enough of entertaining me.

"Maybe?" I softly said.

"What in the!?" She immediately turned her head. "Did I knocked your head too hard with the book? Or was my punch too hard?

I chuckled softly and awkwardly while scratching my head as she shook her head and walked off quickly.

"I mean even I have to admit you're... you're quite fine!" I shouted.

She turned her head and gave me a 'kay whatever' face. Just then, I saw a bike coming towards her full speed while aggressively ringing their bell. I quickly ran forward and pulled her towards me. As I did, it was like time paused, our faces were less than few inches away as we stared at each other. My heart beating fast... probably from the happiness that my plan is going smoothly.... right? Probably. I never realized her eyes were so beautiful.

Shit. Snap out of it. I ought to dump her after this.

Just then she pushed me off her. "Ugh get off me."

"Come on, I saved you. Like a scene straight out of a K-drama." I said cockily.

"I'm not some damsel in distress. And that bike was far from being able to hit me from where I was standing. That "stunt" you pulled off there, was unnecessary." She retorted.

"Well, my bad. I thought it was going to hit you from there. So why don't you repay me by going out with me?" I smirked, trying to look the most attractive I can.

She continued walking, "I'm gonna be late."

"Come on it wouldn't kill you to say thanks." I yelled as she walks further away.

Once again ignored.... how does she even do it. Like look at me.

"Haley come on, I did walk to school for a week for you, you touched?" I quickly caught up to her.
