Chapter 21

// First of all, sorry you guys. Like seriously, I thought I would be able to publish chapter 21 and 22 last week as per planned, but couldn't do it. As a compensation, chapter 21 is a bit longer and consists of extra feelings between the leads. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Happy reading//

"Maybe the whole world wants me,

I still don't care

because when you are with me,

my world world is right beside me"

Taegan's POV

"Tae...."

"TAEGAN!!'

I blink my eyes and find Naressa crossing her arms and staring at me. "Huh? Did you say something?" She sighs, hearing me and taps me on my head. "Yeah. I said Duke is going out with Rebecca"

"Oh. Okay"

"WHAT?!" I blink my eyes again hearing her scream. I look around and find some few students staring at our direction, annoyed. Maths class is the only class which is full of students and our dear Naressa has to shout only at this class.

"Talk softly. Everyone's staring at us" I whisper yell at her while she rolls her eyes.

"Still doesn't explain why the fuck are you okay with Duke dating Rebecca. Isn't he your crush?" Naressa says  raising my brow at him.

"What?" I ask her, surprised.

Duke's dating Rebecca? When did they even start going out?! Well of course, they both are so much glued to each other, all the time. Duhh they are dating. But wait why isn't it bothering me? I should be shocked and heartbroken right? Then why isn't my heart breaking?!!

Yeah I know why it isn't. My brain is in a mess right now. Since last night as Trevor kissed me and I kissed him back.....My whole brain has gone numb.

I don't why I kissed him back but fuck I did! See, my mind's really not in the right state! I am cursing which I rarely do!

"Taegan, is something wrong? I have been noticing you since this morning. You seem off, girl. All well? Is it study stress or parents?" Naressa looks at me with concern in her eyes as I shake my head and take in the air.

Wow. My long time crush's dating someone else. That someone else is not me. If I agreed to hang out with Duke when he asked me the other day, would that mean I would have been the girl who would have been dating him right now and not Rebecca?

The fact that this thought of me not dating him is making me happy, is concerning. Like I am happy for them.

That kiss on the other hand, was mind blowing. Out of the world! My first kiss was taken away like that and the fact..... it was Trevor. 

This is making me so happy like it feels like my chest can explode any second. I mean Duke dating Rebecca makes me happy, Trevor kissing me makes me happy. What next? Will America going bankrupt make me happy as well? What the hell is even happening?!

I look at Naressa and speak in a low tone, "How did this happen? How did you find out they are dating?"

"Finally" Naressa gives out a relieved sigh and starts, "Rebecca's been flexing about her relationship with Duke since a few days. Her insta feeds are loaded with her and duke's posts! I thought she was only spouting nonsense and nothing else but then I saw duke kissing her the other day. Basically she asked her out on the weekend and he agreed and so they are kind of......."
