-Chapter 20-

“Do you like him?

“Who?”

“Jarrell.”

After the Character Development lesson ended, Alden and I were currently having a serious conversation situated outside the classroom. Well, to be exact, the corridor where thousands of students milling to and fro of to their destination. The strange signals sent by them, oh how I just hate the attention I have to get.

Back to the mind-blowing question, do I like Jarrell? Hey, of course I do! I mean, have you not heard about this super hard core crush I had? Correction, the adrenaline pumping crush that drives every single girl crazy.

It wasn’t like I couldn’t tell him the truth. He is my good friend and well, it would only be called ‘friends’ if we shared secrets. But on the other hand, he really really hates his brother and what he had done, it was understandable he would be huffing and puffing in anger.

Urgh, these type of love questions should be lawfully confidential.

“Uhh...” I looked left, right, then down on the ground. “Yea, kinda. You know like how half of the girl population – Umm, I meant like the entire girl population likes him right? It’s not like I’m sooo over him till the point I will go into a cardiac arrest when I see him. Just the typical bad boy material, you know?”

“I don’t know.” He muttered sarcastically.

“Fine! It’s just uhh,” I gulped hardly as I felt a lump in my throat, “Ireallylikehimasacrush.”

He paused the conversation probably to figure out the words, “When did it start?”

“Erm,” /gulps/ “Justafewmonthsago.” I felt my cheeks warming out then, wouldn’t my blush be more than obvious. The audible nervousness pouring out of my mouth just had to give it all away.

“Calm down,” Alden said to me.

Tell me, tell me something I don’t know, how can I not be freaking out when it’s like a face-to-face straight on confession? And secondly, it is not entirely possible to calm down when Jarrell’s voice sounds like the next second he might find Jarrell and beat him into a pulp.

“What do you see in him?” His abrupt question made me jumped slightly. Oh bother, I like every single detail about him, his flaws (nope, the last time I checked him out there aren’t any single flaw), his perfection and imperfection, his every worth drooling abs, his facial features, his humongous dick (at least that’s what I heard), just everything about him is likeable. How the freaking hell do I answer him?

“Erm...can you skip this question?” I would have gone on about how uncomfortable this conversation is getting, and like maybe I could have made a run to the canteen to avoid this conversation being the most embarrassing chat with Alden.

“Okay, but you know this crush on yours isn’t going to happen.” He shot out a demoralizing reply. Stop, just stop it all. Enough of people telling me to face reality and wake up from this sweet dreams. This is just a bloody crush, a crush, a one-sided love, I can’t help it if I’m so into Disney and fairytales.

“Of course I know,” I blinked my eyes furiously, regretting that impulsive moment I confessed to him. “It’s only a crush, no big deal. “ I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly, lifted my head up boldly but my eyes averting his gaze purposely.
