Too Young To Be Old, Too Old To Be Young (ONGOING)

-7-

Few days after , everything that happened last time with Mark Kevin was still fresh in my mind. I haven't told about it to Erin. Not a single weird love story about me. She know nothing about it. Even if we've been besties for so long, I never shared her a story about Earl. My old bestfriend, Elizabeth, was my life before. And as far as I could remember, we became besties because of Earl. She likes Earl so much like she stalks and follows Earl wherever he goes. I was like their third wheel even if the day was just for Earl and me.

And now I can say that, Mark Kevin was my classmate. Though his seat isn't next to mine, but I could still talk to him like any other noisy students do. Chit chats, teasing, etc.

"You're scared of what?!" Michael, my classmate asked Mark Kevin.

"Frogs." Kevin said as he rub his nape with shyness on his face and we all laughed so hard like there's no tomorrow. From then on, my classmates called Mark Kevin "Frog Prince". What's nice about Mark Kevin is that he's a good sport and he gets along with our group. He can ride on the jokes thrown on him and he just laugh it all off whenever we call him Frog Prince. Maybe it's a form of bullying , but in our group, it's normal, like any normal siblings who used to tease each other. ♡

"How's your book report?" Erin asked me while we're walking downstairs. It's our lunch time.

"Well, I haven't started my summary. But I finished already reading the Selection. I slept 2 am just to finish reading it. See this?" I pointed to my eyes "that's what happened to a happy reader like me. " I laughed a little.

"I like to do a book report about the Maze Runner series but I guess that would consume me a lot. Submission is next week and I'm still on chapter 13 of the book Scorch Trials. Should I include the Maze Runner?" Erin said.

"You may, but don't put too much detail on Maze Runner. Focus on what you're currently reading right now. " I suggested.

"Hey!" A tall, snow skinned girl with glasses called from our back.

"Claire!" Erin ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

"Uhm Jessy, I'd like  you to meet Claire. Claire, she's Jessy. My bestfriend. "

"Hi Claire!" I greeted her cheerfully and waved my hands to say hi. Seems like she's a new girl in school. Claire gave a neat little wave and smiled, but that was it. I wasn't sure if she was shy or what.

"I met her during our club fair. And she's also a junior like us. She's new here, and she belongs to section B." Erin introduced Claire to me. Claire kept her eyes on the floor. She would just glance at me and give a short smile when Erin tell me something about her.

I narrowed my eyes, searching for some vacant seats at the cafeteria. I saw Zee eating alone.

"Over there!"

"Hey Zee." I elbowed Zee. Zee was focused on his lunch.

"Are there any bugs in your food? " Erin asked to Zee, in the tone that Erin is not after with the answer, but to annoy Zee with the so-nonsense-question.

"Don't start anything to me. " Zee said seriously.

"I smell something in here. " I grinned to Claire. "Just don't mind them. It's their kind of everyday-conversation." I patted Claire's shoulders to ease her tense feeling.

"Whatever. " Erin rolled her eyes to me. And rolled her eyes again to Zee.

We were eating quietly, words fully kept as we watch other people eat their own lunches. My eyes fell on someone. I could scarcely take my eyes off it. Frog Prince.

He was with Michael, Nico and Karlo, laughing their hearts out loud because Michael spilled his drinks to Nico accidentally. I smirked as I watch them laughing. Mark Kevin caught my eye, and I gave him a short smile before I turned my attention  to my food. *sigh*

Almost there, Jessy.

Everytime I glance at Mark Kevin, he would always catch me looking at him and there I was, tryin' to look away but seems to be pretty awkward thing because I could see him smirk.  Dang that cute smirk.

May I ask to myself please? Why am I being like this? I mean, is there something with Mark Kevin I should learn to know? Or  is this what you call crush? Yeah, I admit, I had a crush on Earl, just a 'small crush feeling' but that was it.  Or maybe I was just being carried by his cute smirk. But no. There is something I could really feel inside. I would know guys, I need to find out if this was true or not.
