POV Len
Page 17.
As I heard a girl call out for London and started running towards him, my heart started to slow down then stopped and dropped to my stomach. I watched the girl wrap her arms around him from behind and without even realizing, I started frowning. Her hair was black, long and had a silky shine to it and she seemed so pretty compared to me. Her eyes were a bright green. She had a lot of makeup which didn't really suit her face. I could tell that London seemed uncomfortable by her affection which made me a bit happy, but I knew that wasn't okay for me to feel. "Uhm, Silvia. Can you please get off me? I don't feel very much like being a touchy person right now." He seemed genuinely annoyed, but I could tell he was still trying to be nice. "Hmm.. nah! I know you can accept my affection! You love it!" I couldn't help but feel so jealous and sad. "Silvia, Is it? London asked you politely to get off him, he obviously isn't comfortable and doesn't want to be touched." I immediately regret speaking but, in the moment, I'm glad I did because she finally let go of him. I smiled so I wouldn't show that I felt a bit perilous just by her presence and how she was getting so close to London, but I definitely struggled to fake it since I could tell London noticed. I watched Silvia start to get a bit threatened by me and walk up to me. She tried to tower over me and scare me, but I wasn't even close to being intimidated by her. Her glare towards me seemed pretty pathetic and she gave off a very powerful vibe of a spoiled brat. "Excuse me?" I wanted to slap her for thinking she could even have the audacity to be this much in my personal space and treat me the way she was. "You have no right to tell me what to do with my boyfriend, you little twerp." I felt so defeated when she made it clear that London was taken but I couldn't let her know I was losing this war, and I knew that I just couldn't even stand to look at him. I felt a bit uncomfortable from how close she was, so I stepped back but still stood my ground.

"You're right. But as his girlfriend, you should still respect his wishes." Before showing my defeat, I quickly turned away and looked at Clark. "Thank you so much for inviting me here and meeting your friends but I must go and make it to my next class before I'm late." My next class didn't start for a little longer, but I just had to leave before anything started. As I started to walk away, I heard London call out for me. "Len! Wait!" I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him. He was really close, so I tilted my head back and looked up at him as he hovered over me. I felt his hand brush against mine and instead of him letting it slide, and I flinched away, I stayed, and he reached out to hold it, even if it's just barely. He got a slight, delicate grip on my fingers and I let him hold them. His gaze on me was so sweet that I was incapable of not smiling. "It was nice officially meeting you, London. I hope to see you again and hang out sometime. I must go now though, bye love." I only smiled bigger as he started to blush at my presence once again. "Love?.." I knew I wouldn't be able to leave if I let him say another word, so I slipped away and quickly left. Once I turned past the corner and back into one of the college buildings, I had accidentally bumped into a guy, I started to fall back until he caught me. I was a bit flustered from his touch until he pulled me up onto my feet and let me go, "I am so sorry, are you alright there, love?" I looked up to see a bright short 1c curly brown-haired man with caramel brown eyes and buff shoulders but skinny torso. His smile was a bit crooked in a bit of a weird but not horrible way, "uh yeah. I'm sorry, that is like the tenth time I've bumped into someone pfft." He chuckled and smiled then put his hand out for me to shake it. "The name is Tom, what's yours?" I looked him up and down before shaking his hand and smiled softly while saying, "Len. The name is Len."

"Well, it's lovely to meet you, Len." Before holding my hand any longer for it to become awkward, he let go and looked into my eyes. "Well, I guess I'll see you around." Before I could respond, he had disappeared into the wind, then I continued walking to my next class. When I made it in time and sat down.. I struggled to focus from having London run through my head countless of times. Then the scene with Silvia started to replay in my head. I felt so aggravated and angry just because of her but I knew I shouldn't have since she was his girlfriend. I guess I'm just mainly disappointed that I thought I would really have a chance with someone like London.
