Secretly yours, [Slow Update]

Secretly yours: Twelve

The shocking news...

Back to Darlia POV.

I feel tired and drained, i didnt get enough sleep last night so i blame it on that. Walking around the school halls multiple times, I've looked everywhere but Jude was still nowhere to be found.

I expected him to be at our usual hangout but its like he just disappeared. I plan to apologize to him and maybe clear the air about what happened the day of his father's birthday.

I needed some time to think and i have this bad habit where i just shut people out for couple of days until i feel ready to talk to them. I know. Im working on that.

Anyways, I'm still planning on completing my mission from the other night, to tell Jude how i feel. I would have but you know i puked on his shoes and things happened.

Speaking of, i dont think Jude attended school today because I've checked every single place i think he could be. Well everyplace except from the cafeteria but I've never seen Jude hang out there before so it was my last option.

I made my way to the cafeteria hopefully I'll find him there. My eyes searched around until i spotted him at the table in the center. That's weird, why would he be hanging out here alone.

Wrong, he's not alone. As i got closer to the table, i finally recognised the person sitting beside him. It was Delphine. Two questions, why was she here and more importantly. With Jude?

I mean I've seen them have some interaction in the past but not well enough to hangout. I tried not to think too much of it.

"Hey Jude." I waved at him as i stood in front of the table they both sat at.

He look perplexed to see me and i wondered why "Uh, hey Darlia. Fancy seeing you here."

Fancy seeing you here? What bullcrap!

Jude expression said otherwise, he couldn't look me in the eye even when he's talking to me. Is he mad or something? Ofc. I don't blame him, I'd be mad at myself too if someone kept calling to check up on you and they got ignored.

But i plan to apologize, I will. "Uh, so how have you been." I ask as i take a seat across the table.

"Well I've been..." Jude begins to say but was cut off by a very annoyed Delphine.

"Hello? Cant you see im here? What about me?"

Oh right, i totally forgot she was here. Yep. I definitely did not ignore her. Why was she here again? Her presence is beginning to get on my nerves.

"Yeah what about you Delphine?" I retorted.

"Well, first of all you just ignored me when you came here and now you arent including me in the conversation."

"Oh my apologies." I stare at her blankly. "I didn't know i was supposed to speak to you."

"Haha very funny."

"Yes funny." I deadpan.

She turns to look at Jude " Jude will you tell your so called friends to please be respectful to me?"

"And why would he do that?" I ask annoyedly.

"Because i said so." She snapped. Jude just sat in the chair awkwardly not knowing what to do. He looked nervous as beads of sweat drop down his forehead. I could tell he didnt want to be here.

"Look, you're making the poor guy nervous. Leave him out of this."

"And why should i listen to you?" Delphine glares at me.
