High school Fever:Wallflower

Chapter 15

  I listened with rapt attention as Drina told me everything. I was sitting on the bed with my legs crossed staring at Drina who was sitting on the rocking chair across from me.

" Isn't it great Berlie? I mean I thought he'd come up with silly excuses"
  Hm, I haven't seen Drina so excited like this before and it's really amusing.
" Gotta admit I envy you" I blurted out pouting and she chuckled.
" At least you're going out and I'll be left alone at home. Great!" I pout folding my arms across my chest.
   " Do your homework.  Be a good good" She suggested and I huffed.
     " Thanks for the suggestion" I said.
     " Berlie, I thought you always loved the indoors"
  I remained quiet for a couple of minutes then sighed.
  " I wish it was a group date. Louis and I would have tagged along" I blurted out.  Drina smiled staring at me amusingly.  I smiled sheepishly.
   Why did I even say that?
  " So you like Louis hm? " Drina said and I blushed.
" I-"
" Oh girl you lie too much" She cut me off with a wave of the hand.
" I'm not!"
" You are"
" I'm not lying"
"Of course you are"

That's how we argued until we left the room and went to my house.

  When we go there, she showed her clothes to me and I was like 'whoa'
   " Your feelings for Oliver also effected your taste in fashion?" I said smirking.
It was a red knee length gown with a nice lace design at the back.
" Um, well when I got to the mall, I met Sophie doing some shopping"

  " Buying new clothes, bags, shoes and blah blah blah " I completed with an eye roll. I knew my sister. She was a shopping freak.
" So she picked these for you?" I asked and Drina said yes.
" She said she'll be coming over to fix me up for the date" Drina told me.
" That's great " I said and I'm not sure if I meant it. I liked Oliver. But I liked Louis too. But we're not progressing unlike Drina and Oliver. I felt so... unlucky.

Justin barged in and collapsed on the couch.
" I figured out you guys would be here " He smirked.
" You should learn how to knock next time you idiot " Drina threw at her brother who gave her a childish pout before sweeping his eyes over the dress and shoes on the bed.
" You went shopping?"He asked nodding at me.
"Drina did. She's finally going out on a date with Oliver " I announced.

  He choked.

" D- date?" He finally cleared his throat and asked.
" Got a problem with that Jus" Drina asked nonchalantly.

  " I- I uh, um it's just er"

  Why the hell was he sputtering?

I and Drina gave him weird looks.
" What's wrong with you?" His sister lifted an eyebrow up at him.
" Nothing" He blurted his face a mask of stun and worriednss. It's a blessing I could read him easily like an open book. Unlike Louis. That one was a chameleon. His facial expression changes every second.
    " I gotta go. I think I forgot something at school" Justin suddenly sprout up and breezed out through the door.
  " You're acting weird you know!" His sister called out to him when he was already striding outside.

Didn't he want them to get together? I thought.

Are they undercover rivals? Him and Oliver.
Is it rivalry or something else?

  Maybe Oliver has a girlfriend!
  My eyes widened at the thought.

              

                    * Justin's POV *

    I got to their door step and knocked. I wanted to talk to Louis about the date stuff but 'he' opened the door.
Quite surprised to see me, he folded both hands and leaned against the door frame.

  " Um, is Louis in?" I asked hoping my voice didn't waver.
     " He went out with Jett" He replied.
     " Okay" I said and turned quickly to vanish from his scrutinizing gaze but his very soft voice called my name and I turned back to answer ' yes?'
He adjusted his glasses with his finger tips clumsily.
  " About what I said to you earlier" He said then looked off as a quiet " I'm sorry" came out from his mouth.

  What should I say? I felt tongue tied. He went on with the apology.
" I didn't mean to embarrass you. I got over limits and said what I shouldn't have said to you. I'm really sorry if it pissed you off.  I just thought you'd understand what I meant and you did but it didn't come out the right way "

  I remained calm but I was freaking out inside.

   " It's really flattering that you'd like someone like me " I sincerely and reluctantly poured out.
  His green eyes lit in surprise.

   " Really?" He innocently asked and I shrugged fairly feeling free to express my thoughts.
" Yeah really. All the while I thought you were being too cool and never wanted to talk to me. I never understood you were... nervous " I said with a side smile.  He chuckled brushing his eyes down. He was obviously shy and I would be lying If I said I didn't find that cute. He's just so charming and I had to wonder why he had to be into boys.

  " Do you wanna hang out with me this evening?" I asked wanting to hear what his reply would be.
  " Yea, sure!" He said eagerly
  

       Really ??

" But I thought you're going out on a date with my sister?" I asked raising a brow.
His eyes narrowed and he frowned. He didn't expect me to bring that up.
" You'll go out with her, right?" I asked and he looked up at my face mumbled
  " I was looking for clothes to wear before you came. Why're you asking?" He asked with his eyes probing into mine.
"I don't want anyone to -"I said and he cut in nonchalantly.
" to hurt Drina's feelings. Yea I know. And you know what? I'm doing this for you" He said sharply still not smiling
" Do it for Drina" I said and I saw him almost glare at me.
" Yo wassup guys!" Jett intruded as he approached us grinning from ear to ear.
We stopped talking.

   Loud mouth was here.

  "I'll just go in now. My legs hurt " Oliver said narrowing his eyes off me as he walked into the room.

"Did I spoil anything?" Jett asked raising his hands questionably.
  " Where's Louis?" I asked and he scratched his head thoughtfully before replying.
" His at field with Bobby" He responded.

  Bobby? My eyes tore open.
