can't get over you (wlw)

chapter 4

Today was valentinesday

..
...

Yeah, what can I say.

Valentina found 3 roses in her locker, but she didn't know from whom it was.

I? I got nothing.
Of course. I mean, I'm new, and I don't talk to people, so what can I expect? I tried to comfort myself.

I noticed that valentina is close with our two classmates.
Toufiq and Jersey.

Toufiq was half Spanish and half Moroccan. Valentina and Toufiq converse in Spanish with each other, leaving me in the dark about both the topic and the individuals they're discussing. I got an urge to learn Spanish now.
I also noticed that val is a little closer to Toufiq. With Jersey, she seemed a bit reserved, perhaps even shy? I don't know how to describe it. She didn't seem as at ease as she does with Toufiq, I'd say.

Jersey is from Aruba.
Valentina would sometimes talk in Spanish with Jersey.
I found out it's not really the same thing. He would understand what she says, but he can't really communicate in Spanish, so he would rather talk in English.
He is tall, like 185cm? Or maybe taller.
I'm 168 cm. So Valentina should be like 174 cm or something.
Jersey also has curls, 3c hair type.
And he has light green eyes.

He actually looks fine, now that I look at him.

I got closer with valentina. The past 4 weeks, we got into a group project, and because of that, we talked and got to know each other much more.
I also found out that our house is in the same direction. Every day after school, we walk back home together.
She was just 6 minutes away.

Before we separate, we always talk for about 30 minutes or sometimes even 1 hour before saying our goodbyes.

We stopped at the same place as always in front of a tree before going our own way.

" I'm going to shop for the weekend. Wanna come with me? It would be fun." She said smiling and waited for my reply with pleasing eyes.

"Sure, I would like to come with you. I also need some new clothes."

"Omg, should I ask Jersey too?." She asked

I burst out laughing.
" Yeah! Like he would go shopping with two girls." I said, shaking my head.

"I know he will not come for 100%.
But still, I'm going to ask him so he wouldn't feel left out." She made a cute sad face.

I chuckled. " You really care about him, don't you?"

" He is a good guy, and we have been friends for long enough. So I guess he deserves to feel that somebody actually cares and likes his presence."

I nodded slightly." Good point."

"Give me your number." She took her phone out.

"Pardon?" I said, thinking she was asking me out for a second.
So stupid.

"For the weekend. Did you forget already?" She giggled.

I broke the eye contact I was holding with her, feeling a rush of embarrassment. Hastily, I reached for my phone, and we exchanged numbers.

"I will text you," she winked playfully before walking past me.

Damn. Did she really have to do that?

I smiled and walked home.
