SHE'S THE DEMON

10

It's a quadruple update, and they are both in Reya's Pov. Things are going to get more interesting from this point.

Let's get it

The first four periods passed by in a blur, I barely remember what i was doing. Which is a bad thing cause i faitly remember ss handing out homework. I feel giddy as the bell for lunch rang. I get up and pack my books into my bag.

Norman stood up with me
"I'm heading out for lunch. See you later," I tell him.
Norman nods his head and replies
"Sure, see you later." I head towards the door and see Loren standing by the entrance, probably waiting for his best friend.
I smile at him a full beam of teeth when he looks at me. I hear his breth hitch as he swallows.
Damn whipped much? Well, same here.

I never smile or show expressions except with people I am extremely comfortable with, and so far, they have only been five.

"H-hey," he says, almost stuttering. I hold back my laughter by bowing my head. I raise my head to look up at him after controlling my laugh.

His eyes shine as they stare at me, "I just wanted to say that you look beautiful, I missed the chance to tell you that this morning." I nod at the compliment, feeling a little pleased.

Sure, it's different when the guy I like compliments me, but I rather he says something different from what the others say. Don't blame me for expecting a little much.

"You were radiant and let me say I'm never going to forget that image. You were like the sun, too beautiful to capture but a glorious witness from a far."

Now, my breath hitched as heat spread within my body, making my cheeks warm. I caress my fingers across my cheeks, covering my cheek with one hand when I feel they are becoming red.

Heavens, I'm even blushing!!

He senses my quiet state and gasps. "I'm sorry I'm must have said too much. Shouldn't have said that." He reprimands himself, apologising.

I shake my head, "No its alright."

'You sure,' his eyes say as he looks at me softly. So soft, almost like being caressed by silk. "You sure?" He asks, voice lower, almost chiding.

I nod again it seems I'm becoming mute.
"Okay. Shall I walk you to lunch?" He asks softly

I nod shyly.  Shyly?

Speak dammit! what's wrong with my throat.

We walk slowly to the cafeteria. Silence fills the space between us, but it's comfortable. If he says another word with that voice of his, I don't know how my body will react.

So far, my stomach has been churning with what you humans call butterflies. It's hard to breathe, and i can barely speak. This progress is scary.

We arrive at the cafeteria safely. Yes, safely for me. My nerves have been on overdrive. And demon training didn't teach me what I'm supposed to do in situations like this

"See you after school Reys". He says, offering me a smile as he walks in while I stand there frozen, replaying his smile over and over in my head. He even gave me a nickname, which sounded way better than when Norman said it. Sorry, Norm.

This should last me till the end of school. Way to go, Loren, your face is gonna be occupying my head till the end of school.

That is how my whole day went, in a blissful daze. At lunch, I was teased badly by the girls who had seen Loren walk me into the cafeteria and how a gentle man he was opening the door and leaving me with a charming smile.

I blushed hard at their words and did so much to hide my face from them, but I did not successfully escape their mockery until after lunch.

I got back to class. Math is the period that starts after lunch. My food is already broken down now. The school is making me break numbers. It's a great way to start my afternoon.
