Maybe...?

CHAPTER 27

I'M TOTALLY BEWILDERED.

His eyes gazing at me completely.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

He's breathing harshly.

"I'm late..."

"I see it..."

Awkward silence.

"My little sister is sick and my mom has to work in the flower shop, so I couldn't leave her alone."

My gosh.

That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

"The teacher will understand." I pronounce myself, calming him.

"I hope" "Where were you going then?"

"I forgot my cardboard on the locker."

"I go with you, If I have to be punished, it's better later" He grins.

And we start to walk, the corridor is empty, only a few screams from the classes fill this silence that surround us.

"And what happened to your grandmother at the end?" he asks, with a spongy voice.

He remembers...

Strange.

"She's now in a private hospital."

"And you...?"

Should I tell him?

"I'm with a pretty particular family."

I'm not going to tell him about Lucas.

"I see that you're better than yesterday"

"Yeah? The fact is I didn't sleep much because I stayed up with..."I stop talking.

"With?"

We arrive to my locker.

I open it, trying to gain time.

"Diarrhea..." I finally utter.

WTF LEA.

WHAT DID YOU SAY.

I blushed.

Can I be more stupid?

"Really? My sister is sick because of that." He says astonished.

My head stuck inside the locker, what is he going to think about one after this.

What a liar you are Lea.

"Hope you're fine now" He declares smiley.

I take the cardboard and let my head get out.

"Thanks. We can go to class, I already got it" I tell him, showing my work.

He nods.

I'm super concentrated in my steps.

My gaze is down, and all my hair covers my face.

He's walking by my side, with his hands on his jeans pockets.

"Can I ask you a question?" He says politely.

"Sure." I look at him.

"Will you give me Bella's phone number? I lost it"

My heart gets a terrible punch.

Bella's number. Of course.

Am I jealous?

Without a doubt.

"Bella's number? Interested in her huh?" I say with a funny tone.

"No way, don't think that. I just lost her number."

"Okay, okay. I will send it to you later." I grin.

"It's dangerous to talk with you. What an evil mind you have there." He laughs.

THAT LAUGH.

MELTS MY HEART.

"What? I'm an angel." I say firmly.

"An angel that surely fell onto the floor and it's a bit clumsy." He points at my knees complete of scratches.

They are from yesterday night...

When Lucas helped me.

I frown.

He saved me.
