In The Rain

chpt. 6

The morning after the party was tiring but in a good way? My alarm woke me up for the first time in a while, I stretched my arms out to the max giving me a satisfactory feeling. I got ready for school and was on my way.

I'm pretty bummed out about how I didn't get to speak to Chris last night and the memory of Ever kissing him replaying in my head wasn't helping either.

•••

I go to my locker to pick up a binder for my first period. Biology. It wasn't my favorite class but it gave me a chance to see Chris since his class was a few doors down which was also the route I take to my next period.

I find my way to class but on my way I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see Chris with a little grin.

"Hey Celestia, you left your lip gloss at Ji's place, I figured I should hand it back." He said in a confident(?) tone.

I didn't know what to say. All I could blab out was a loud THANK YOU and a few incoherent words. Thankfully the bell rang so we both said ur goodbyes and left it at that.

I began to think to myself, why would he, out of all people give back the lip gloss? Haven, Blake and Conan were there with me too, they could've given it themselves. Maybe this is Conan setting me up just to play with me for last night, any minute now he could text me.

Ding!

I was right, a text from Conan.

"Good morning Cinderella!"

"Cinderella?"

"Yes Cinderella, you left the party as the clock struck 12am. The real party would've just started."

"haha... Real funny Conan, I know you made Christopher give me my lipgloss back."

"You have no proof. But if I did... Did it make your heart skip a beat? ;)"

I smiled at my phone and had I not realize the whole class was staring back at me. I was three seconds away from getting a lecture. Thankfully, my teacher wasn't in the mood for criticizing students today and instead, told me to give my phone up to the front desk where it'll stay for the rest of the day. It's gonna be a long day.
