Let Me Be The One - The Flash (Barry Allen/ Grant Gustin Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5: Silent Treatment

Juliet's POV

I feel terrible. Why? Because of a certain someone by the name of Barry Allen. Ever since we shared that kiss 3 weeks ago, he has been ignoring me. What have I honestly done wrong? Was I not good enough for him? And why did I even kiss him? Ugh, all credits go to my brain for ruining the start of an amazing friendship. My thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of a bell indicating the end of my class. I slowly rose for my seat and made my way to the mass of people scurrying out of the lecture room. Just as I was about to reach the oak door frame, I bumped into a tall, muscular man. My eyes slowly led to his face. Oh gee, I thought while I was staring mesmerized at him. I was looking at a model. Or well, if he wasn't a model, he should've been one. With his chiselled jawline, sparkling blue eyes, brown hair styled up in the front, freckles sprinkled on his face and a smile showing his bright, white smile, it was understandable that I was just staring into his blue orbs. "I'm so sorry for bumping into you, Miss....?", he asked me with his deep voice. I gulped before opening my dry mouth to answer him. "Its, uhm, Ramon...Juliet Ramon, monsieur", I said shyly. "Well then pretty face, my name is Roy Harper. Hey listen, I noticed that there is a slight hint of a French accent in your words. Foreign?", he asked, motioning for me to go through the door first. I thanked him and started heading for the library, forgetting to answer Roy's question. "Woah there doll, don't you think its rude to run away from a handsome man like myself?", Roy yelled while sprinting to catch up to me. Eventually, he caught up with me and held on to my shoulders to restrict any movement from my side. "Well, when my mom told me to run after my dreams, I didn't think she meant it literally", Roy exclaimed, trying to catch his breath. "Well, surely your mother told you to, I don't know, get more realistic dreams", I said, trying to act confident and hide my pink tinted cheeks. I then left Roy standing in the corridor with a grin on his face as I went to the library to study.

As I got to the library, I took a seat, prepared my textbook and began the studying process. Unfortunately, my studying was not that successful as I couldn't concentrate easily on the size 6 font. I then took my phone out and started playing Angry Birds as part of my study break. Just as I was about to launch the last bird, the sound of the chair opposite me being pulled out filled my head and shattered my concentration. I groaned loudly but covered my mouth immediately as the teacher in charge gave me a death glare. But my guilt washed away as I heard the person from across give out a muffled laugh. I glanced up to see who the person was and I immediately regretted it. There sat Mr I-Know-Im-Gorgeous smiling at my serious expression. I sighed while shaking my head and went back to studying. Suddenly a huge crunched-up paper ball hit the temple of my head. I looked up angrily while Roy sat there with a huge smile on my face. I gave him a fake smile before kicking him from under the table. Roy winced as he rubbed  his knee. I gave him a smug look but it vanished instantly as I caught his hand reaching across and grabbing my textbook and writing in it. I glared at him with an open mouth before cussing under my breath. He then slid the book back to me, reached out for his bag and got up. I glanced at what he wrote and a smile crept into my face. In my book, the following was scribbled: 'Bonjour! Here's my number! I'm pretty sure you'll put it to good use' and attached to this was his number as well as a smiley face.I grinned at him and watched him salute me with a smirk before leaving the room.

Eventually Cisco picked me up and although he was late, he couldn't ruin my current mood. I mean, it's not everyday that I acquire a cute guy's number. Yet there was one thing that was bothering me: The Flash. I turned my body to Cisco and poked his cheek to attract his attention. He took his eyes off the road for a second to let me know that he was listening. "What's up with the Flash?", I asked my cousin with a determined tone. " The Flash? Don't worry about it, he's just a myth!", Cisco said, trying to reassure me by awkwardly patting my arm. I scoffed at his answer and then asked more demandingly, "What is he? I saw him yesterday so he's far from being a myth!". Cisco stopped the car and looked at me nervously. "He's a meta human. You know, a person with unexplainable super abilities. Unfortunately, that is all I know", Cisco said shrugging. I decided to leave it at that, I was now going to find out for myself.

We pulled up at STAR Labs and as I entered the quartex, I noticed Dr Wells having a friendly conversation with Caitlyn, discussing  the laws of physics. I greeted both of them with a smile before taking a seat at the desk full of computer monitors. Then, at that moment, Barry entered the room with someone on his tail. Barry was laughing at something the stranger said. My heart began racing and a smile grew on my face, I missed him. But my happiness was cut short when Barry noticed my presence and his smile disappeared. He then had an irritated expression on his face as he acknowledged my presence with a stiff nod. I gave him a half smile  and looked down at my hands. I then heard a familiar voice echo from behind Barry. I bent my body to get a better view of the person and a smile fell to my face. There stood Roy with a huge grin on his face, with his arms wide open for a hug. I laughed, remembering my first interaction with him, before running into his arms to receive the friendly embrace. Caitlyn cleared her throat purposefully, smiling at us. "Oh guys, this is Roy Harper. He's in one of my classes", I proudly said. "We know him, there's no need to get so excited", Barry said coldly before leaving the room. "Im so sorry, he's not usually like this", I whispered to Roy. "Don't worry, I've noticed it for quite a while", Roy stated,shrugging. I was about to sigh before a thought popped in my whirling mind. How did  Roy know Barry? "How do you know him?", I asked inquisitively with a raised eyebrow. And then the room grew quiet as Roy stood there at a loss for words." We are, uhm, how would you say,childhood friends", he said stuttering slightly. I looked at Roy as he flashed me an innocent smile. I left Roy to believe that I was satisfied with his answer. The way people avoided the truth in this town. Clearly, this city was full of secrets!

Barry's POV

As I left STAR Labs, I felt a rush of anger pulsate through my veins. Why did Juliet act as though she's the queen bee? I started running as I let my mind wander. Why did she kiss me in the first place? She knew how I felt about Iris, yet she still pulled that stunt. She was surely a piece of work, that one. As I arrived at my destination, I took a seat on the porch steps and let my mind calm down. Yes, I was currently sitting outside my old house. I let all my stress run out as my first tear fell. Call me a baby but I just missed my mom and dad when things got too much. Suddenly, my phone buzzed with a message from Joe asking me to meet him in his office. I answered immediately, wiped my eyes and stood up. Juliet was going to regret kissing me, I thought. Then I traced my finger on my lips, reminiscing the kiss. Ah little Julie, the game is on!
