Love Blinds

chapter 6

I am known as the popular bully boy in this high school. With my intimidating demeanor and a group of followers, I rule the hallways with an iron first. Everyone knew better than to my cross path, as I would find pleasure in tormenting those who dared to challenge me. However, behind my tough exterior, I have a deep -rooted fear of losing my position among my friends.

I thought about the incidents that just happened few minutes earlier. I felt something wasn't right, when I was apologising to her bogusly, her voice felt so innocent, like she believed each an every word, that I told her.

I felt she accepted my apology with her whole heart. I shrugged off my feelings and said to myself, what was I thinking? I shouldn't fall in love. The world love isn't in my dictionary. I should be ashamed of myself for thinking such things. Fuck me, I cursed myself.

........... .....

Beep, beep huh! I woke up groaning, blaming my alarm. I walked up to see the calendar, if I have any special events today, and my eyes widened seeing the calendar.

Shoot, I shouted . It's the exam results day. Today I thought to dress elegantly because I'm pretty confident about my marks.

My dress was simple yet stunning, with a classic design showcased my natural beauty. The flowing fabric draped elegantly, emphasising my figure. The colour was a soft and subtle choice, complementing my complextion.

The dress featured dedicate details that added a touch of sophistication without overpowering the overall look. The neckline was tasteful, and the waistline accentuated my curves. The dress flowed gracefully, creating a sense of movement and grace as I walked.

This dress was a perfect choice. I ate my breakfast quickly and ran fast to take a taxi. I arrived to school in no time. I hurriedly ran towards the notice board.

I started searching my name and my sweat was already dripping from my face. But as soon as I saw my nervousness was replaced with delightness, I started sobbing with happiness.

Tears rolled down my cheek, my eyes watered seeing that I passed exceptionally. All that battles I faced, all the humiliations I went through, all the sleepless nights I spent , finally worthed at the end.

I wiped my tears away and walked to my class with pride. And I only have to stay in this school for a one more year. Then I officially finish high-school with a diploma. I can't wait for the last day. That day is the best day of every student's life.

.......................

Ahh, today's the results day and my mom is gonna kill me, if I fail this important test. Though I am a bully boy, I take my studies seriously.

Mom I am going to school, it's my result day, I said.

Don't worry son, I'm sure you will have passed. Now go don't keep yourself waiting, she said smiling.

Thanks ma, love you I said.

After sometime I arrived to the school and I saw Jason already looking for his results.

Bro, how did it go ? I asked

Very bad man, I got a F he said irritated.

I'm sorry man. Let me see how did I do.
Yes , I screamed. I did pretty well. I was so happy and couldn't wait to tell my mom. She will be so proud of me.

Jason shaked his in sarcasm seeing me.

After a long day at school, I was so tired. So I went to my secret place to spend sometime alone.

It's an enchanting forest , a secret place of extraordinary beauty. It's a place where sunlight dances through the emerald leaves, casting ethereal patterns upon a tapestry of wildflowers.

A crystal clear stream meanders gracefully, whispering it's ancient moss-covered stones. Majestic trees stand tall, guardians of this ethereal realm.

Birds serenade the air with their melodic symphony, and gentle deer roam freely. In this secret place, nature weaves its spell, offering a glimpse of paradise concealed within the forest's embrace.

I love this place, it always makes me calm. This place is like magic to my life because it takes me away from my problems at least for a little bit of time.

I sat there for sometime listening to the gushing sound of the waterfall and then suddenly my phone rang startling me.

....................

After I came home, there was nothing to eat so I decided to go get some groceries. I took the public transportation as I don't have any money for the taxi.

I had only 35 dollars. Let's see what can I buy for it. I bought some apples and oranges, some vegetables, a bottle of milk, some chocolates and some biscuits.

While I was walking with the trolley, I added the prices from the calculator to see whether I had enough.

  But then I was bumped into a hard body. I felt,I'm falling to the ground but I didn't.

When I looked up, I saw Alex holding me by my waist. I felt my body was heating up, just like when I had fever. His eyes were shining as glitter like he was looking at some precious jewellery.

We were looking into each other's eyes, God knows how long ,then he suddenly sneezed and that's when I came into senses.

I'm so sorry, my attention was somewhere else, so I didn't see you here , I apologised.

It's okay sweetheart, even I didn't see you here, he said admiringly.

I was blushing like a fool at the word, he just called me. Why did you call me that? I asked with a scarlet red face.

I called you what ? Sweetheart? He asked smiling at me.

I nodded without looking at his eyes to hide my shyness.

Whatelse should I call a beautiful girl like you? Should I choose another name like darling, baby, Rose, baby girl , he asked me warmly.

My eyes widened and my face became red listening to the name list he was telling. No the first name you selected is good, I said immediately smiling at him.

So sweetheart, now we have become close, can I have your phone number? He asked.

Of course Alex, I replied and gave my phone number to him.

Thanks, I will text you later he said. He kissed my cheek and went away like nothing happened.

Meanwhile, I was standing there with my mouth open. What just happened? I thought. Butterflies were dancing inside my stomach. Goosebumps were all over my body.

I quickly came into my senses and went to the cashier to pay.
