Façade 🎈

37. Dinner

Previously on Facade,

I thought about what Alex told me earlier.

Of course, it's flattering to know that the most good looking guy in the school has fallen for me for three years. And I admit that it's kind of cliché, the bad boy falling for the good girl. Even so, there are many good girls in school, why me?

He said it's because of my personality. I know that but there must be a reason why...

Stop overthinking things Helena, maybe I am overthinking or maybe not.

It probably has something to do with his past. If only I know what...

I guess I have to find out.

I wrote the word idea on the middle of a blank piece of paper. Then I drew a cloud around it and drew out an arrow.

I have been procrastinating the whole time about this. Ms Tanner has been asking me a few times about how I'm progressing so far and this is worrying seeing that I have not even started.

I focused on the paper as I tapped my pen on the desk. I have no idea what to write and even though the best solution is to wait for an idea to pop in my head, I can't delay much longer. Who knows, I still don't have any idea when the deadline is around the corner.

I have to try. The last thing I want to do is disappoint Ms Tanner who had believed so much in me.

I hear the door creaked open. My guess is Harry but I chose to ignore him. I tried to listen to his footsteps but he is really silent.

Okay... this isn't Harry.

The next thing I knew, he covered my eyes using his palms from behind. Oh.

"Guess who." He whispered huskily into my ear.

The ends of my lips curled upwards. "Can you give me any clue?"

"He's really hot."

I pretended to think for a moment. "Taylor Lautner?"

"Nope... okay another clue. He's a great kisser."

"Alex..." I was about to give in but I decided otherwise. "Pettyfer."

"Really? Whoever this guy is, can he do this?" He kissed on my ear and started trailing from my jaw to my chin.

"I'm giving you one last chance." He said.

"Never." I smiled. Nothing he's going to do will hurt me.

The next thing I knew, I flew out of my chair and landed my butt on the floor. Instead of stopping to ask if I'm alright, he continued tickling me.

One negative trait about me is that I'm really ticklish. So a slight tickle can make me squirm, so a full blown tickle does much worse.

I managed to scream. "St-st-st!"

Yeah, another thing is that I will be so breathless and I couldn't even form my words.

"What? Go on?" Alex continued tickling me.

"N-no! St-st!"

"As much as I love watching Hayles suffer, I don't want her to die now so let go." Harry said.

About that fight the other day, Harry had forgiven Alex after we patched things up. Of course, Alex also got off with a warning to never mess with me again.

Alex stopped tickling me. "Damn you're no fun."

I sat up, struggling to catch my breath. "You're" breathe "gonna" breathe "pay" breathe "for" breathe "this."
