Here and there (O2L Fan fiction)

Chapter seven

*Sophia’s P.O.V*

I walked into school looking for Kian! I urgently needed to talk to him. He’s been acting strange towards me. He’s acting like more than a friend and we need to sort this out.

*

I waited by Kian’s locker for almost half an hour until I gave up. I went to my locker and prepared for homeroom. I walked towards my homeroom and once I arrived I noticed Claire still wasn’t at school and there was no sign of Sam or Lillie, oh my god. The only person here that I could ask about Kian’s where abouts was JC. Oh great. I walked up to him.

“JC, have you seen Kian or heard from him I really need to talk to him” I asked Jace

“I spoke to him yesterday, he told me to tell you that he copped a 3 day external suspension for starting the fight and punching me yesterday” he told me

“Oh my god really? Oh my poor baby boy” I said

Oh my god, I can’t believe that just came out of my mouth and the worst part is I said it with such sympathy and to his best friend. What have I done? Okay I gotta play it cool. I thought to myself, now the problem with me is I always think about the worst possible outcome and in this case I thought that JC heard me and would post it on Facebook for everyone to see, and that meant that Kian would see! Oh my god, he’s going to think I’m a freak.

“Pardon?” JC said, interrupting my thoughts

“I just said… oh really? What a trouble maker” I responded, thankful that JC missed my original response.

Mrs Bower opened the door and signalled for the class to enter. Just as almost everyone was seated, Lillie arrived then not long after Sam arrived. It still didn’t feel the same at school without Kian.  I wonder if Kian is acting like this towards me because he likes me back. I began to get excited and I started to smile but I didn’t even notice I was smiling until my face started hurting and Lillie pointed it out.

“What are you smiling about?” Lillie asked

“Oh nothing I just remembered something funny my brother did last night, you can’t help but laugh at the little bugger” I replied

But really, that’s not what I was smiling about at all. I was all smiles about Kian and the possibilities of us becoming a couple. I wasn’t just smiley about my fantasies; I was still shocked that Kian physically hurt his best friend for me. He barely knows me; all he knows about me is my name and appearance. I hope he has feelings for me like I have for him.

Earlier That Morning

*Lillie’s P.O.V*

I arrived surprisingly early at school, even with the visit to Starbucks, I still was about half an hour early. I put my things in my Locker and sorted my books so they were ready to grab after when I needed them.

“Lillieeeee” I heard a familiar voice say. A very familiar voice.

I turned around but saw no one familiar. I carried on sorting my books, when I moved my history book an unfamiliar pink envelope fell down, I picked it up and turned it over, it read – to Lillie on the front. I hadn’t opened it and I already exactly knew who it was from…Sam! I was just about to open it before Sam shut my Locker door and told me to come with him. I was worried and wondered what he had planned next. He took my hand and walked me to the big tree which branches grew downwards. We called it the “umbrella tree” anyway, Sam led me to the umbrella tree, we went through the one clear and easy entry opening he had a bunch of roses they were pink roses and a box of chocolates on the ground there. He told me to sit next to him and then open the letter. I opened it and read it, it said –

Dear Lillie, you are amazing please accept these 5 roses, each roses symbols a promise, a promise to make to you if we are to become a couple. The first rose symbols all important love, the next symbols trust, the next symbols happiness, the next symbols honesty and the last rose symbols protection. I promise these 5 things to you Lillie, all I need in return is your love and the chocolates represent how sweet you are. I love you Lillie, Sam xx

*Sam’s P.O.V*

She read the letter, she didn’t make any facial expressions so I’m not really sure if she’s liking it or not. If this doesn’t work I don’t know what will. She lifted her head and smiled at me. This is a good sign I thought to myself, she stood up and wrapped her arms around my waist. It felt like everything around us had suddenly stopped. She then let go.

“Look Sam, you’re a great guy and some day you will find a girl who is ready for all this, but at the moment I’m physically and emotionally not ready to do it again. Believe me Sam, you’ll find the perfect girl and that perfect girl will come to you, but that girl is not me. I’m sorry” she responded

“Lillie, I want you, no one else. You! I know you’ve had it tough with relationships in the past and this is why I want you. I want to show you what a real boyfriend is like, I want to treat you like a princess, how you should be treated”

Before she could reply the bell went. I insisted for her to take the chocolates and roses. At least she did that. Once Lillie was out of sight. I stopped. I just sat there under the big umbrella like tree and thought to myself about everything. My thoughts lasted 10 minutes, during those 10 minutes I just sat there before making my way to class.

The rest of the day was just like a normal school day. Nothing special just learning new things, making some more new friends and attempting to talk to Lillie again.
