A Heart's Enchantment

009

  One nice morning and I thought I could have a beautiful day. Lorenzi couldn't help but to notice what Janett was wearing and now he can't stop talking about how gorgeous she is. I have to deal with this every single day when he spots her with Rochell. "When are you going to confess your love to Rochell?" I snapped my daydream, and I turned my head just to see Lorenzi with his head tilting, one hand holding his pen and another on his chin. "Why? So you can get close to Janett more?" I raised an eyebrow and look at him directly in the eye, teasingly. "Oh, shut up! Everyone is talking about you and Rachel being together you dumbass." That's a great start to chase her. I've heard that Rochell is not an easy person to chase her on. She's hardcore when it comes to dating someone. 

"Also, I heard this guy Arthur something from the top class has a secret crush on her." 

"You joking? Please say you are." He shook his head and I am now not in the mood to do anything. "Ooo mister heart breaker is jealous~" He giggled, I slapped his back with my chemistry book or not I would be using the glass bottle in front of me to bash his head until it bleeds. "I think this Arthur guy goes in the ice hockey team." Added Lorenzi. Oh that would be easier for me to find him. "Oh really? interesting.." I went on my phone to text my cousin. 
ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠKevin
ᅠᅠᅠᅠ Do you know anyone named Arthur from the ice hockey team?

I'm familiar with that name.

ᅠᅠᅠ       Which team does he go?

He's in the NNY. Any reason?

ᅠᅠᅠ       No, thank you for your service Kevin.

    I wonder who this guy is. I turned at Lorenzi who is now on his book sketching. "Do you want to follow me to the ice later?" He turned and looked directly on my eyes, raising his right eyebrow. "Are we seriously going to stalk someone now?" I rolled my eyes at him. 

"I'm curious."

"Still counts as stalking."

"Shut up."  He chuckled and the teacher called him to answer and he is lucky enough, he knows the answer. "I hate you so much, Elijah." Re-adjusting the position I was sitting to dodge the hit he was about to give to me. I looked outside and it was pouring. If it's raining, there wouldn't be any training for the day so that's a good sign for me to go find this Arthur guy. Believe it or not I'm just going to see how he looks like and not just the fact that I'm jealous or anything. It's fair that someone would like such beautiful girl like Rochell. She's unique and talented in everything, her smile never fail to make my day better. Rochell is the type of girl to say 'she's the one.' Despite how I have no idea why she would ignore me every time I try to approach her or when she sees me, I'm afraid that I would do something wrong or moving too fast. Am I moving too fast with her? I'm probably overthinking. 

    "Eli wake up, the bell rang." A slap on my back. I blinked a few times to let my brain process what was going on. "You fall asleep in chemistry! Guess I'm not the only one who finds this class boring." Giggled Lorenzi. "Should we go stalker mode now or do you want to grab food first?" Packing his books while pushing the chair back in the table. "We're not stalking... I just want to see this guy." I yawned, standing up looking outside the window and it's still raining but this time even heavier. "See as in stalking. Got it." I hit him in the head with my weak hands and my vision still a bit blurry. We walked to the ice skating court and I spotted Kevin and his girlfriend. He saw me and Lorenzi and gave us the sign to go there so we did. "What's going on? Am I dreaming? You and Enzi in here?" Giving me a hug like we haven't seen each other every week. "Well about the text. Who's Arthur?" I swear I could see his girlfriend jumped when I mentioned his name. "Uhm. It's that guy over there." Pointed Kevin. "Arthur is a fine looking man." Said Lorenzi, I turned around to see a 6 ft, brown brunette hair, ears pierced, light brown eyes, big bright smile under the light holding his hockey stick. He seems fit. I gave him a good stare, hair till toe. So this is the guy that likes Rochell? No shot but I think he's not her type. I can guessed it already that if he confesses to her she would reject him. 

"Why are you so curious about this guy? Wait are you.." 

"NO! I'm absolutely not that." My eyes widened and I could hear Lorenzi laughing beside me. 

"Don't need to yell now, oh look he's walking towards us." My smile turned into a frowned face. Kevin knows this guy? "Hey we need to be in the ice for a bit now." I heard him saying that to Kevin and he nods. Now both Kevin and his girlfriend are gone, Lorenzi saw a food stall and he's now running there to get some food. "Are you new here? I have not seen you before." Said the tall man. 

"I'm not signing up for anything. I heard you like Rochell?" 

"Rumour spreads fast here I see?" Chuckled Arthur. How can he even find this funny?

"Look. Stay away from her and we won't have any problem." I said directly in his eyes but he couldn't help but to laugh at my sentence. "Do you think this is funny to you?"

"It's just that you think she likes a person way of behaving like you? No. Wait till she finds out about your true self. Stranger." His siren eyes seems scary but now it makes him look like a clown, a joke.
