Her Royal Shyness

Ch 18- Admit it, turtle.

Yssa's POV

He's back!

Err, is it too obvious that I like him? I hope not.

Shaun is sleeping soundly in his room.

We talked all morning before he decided to sleep. And now I'm on my way to school.

I didn't wake him up 'coz he looked tired.

School

I'm already at my classroom. And our teacher is currently at a meeting. So Jess has all the time in the world to interrogate me.

"Why are you late?" she asked with hands on her hips.

What am I? A criminal? I mentally shook my head. Jess is acting like some sort of investigator. I'm really having a hard time holding back my laughter.

"Answer me!" she demanded.

Woah, scary!

"I waited for Shaun at the airport."

Her eyes widen and her jaw dropped.

I giggled at her reaction.

"It's confirmed!" she squealed.

A bunch of eyes started to stare at us.

"What?" Jess shrugged and my classmates looked away.

Then she looked at me with twinkling eyes and that 100-watt smile.

"You really like Shaun!" she whispered.

I felt my face heating up.

"Oh, you're blushing..." she pinched my cheeks, "so cute!"

"H-hey stop it Jess, this is embarrassing!" I protested.

"But you really like him?" she asked again.

I nodded shyly.

And she squealed. Sheez.

It was lunchtime and I awkwardly sit beside Nathan, we have an agreement that he'll take me to Ruby when this school year ends, actually I'm the one who suggested it.

Because I know that he'll not hurt me. I trust him and he's always there to protect me.

"Hi Nathan!" I smiled at him.

He smiled back. Aww, so cute!

"How 'bout me?" Marco pouted.

"Aww, Marco is jealous!" I pinched his cheeks. He looks so adorable when he pouts.

He's flushed red. Cuteness overload!

"Ehemm..." Nathan cleared his throat, "Where's Jess?"

"She's doing some rehearsals but she'll be here soon." I answered.

"Let's eat!" Marco shifted in his seat before standing up and waving at his fan girls. That Casanova.

Nathan also stood up and pulled my hands.

"Let's go turtle!" he teased me.

"Shut up fish!"
