Perfect (On Hold)

Chapter 11

*embers pov*

We have been locked here for more than an hour and I kept yelling but I don't see Any one coming to let us out of here. Alex is studying after fighting with me and now im angry and upset at the same time.
I know we are locked in here and it is frustrating but that doesnt mean you will yell at me for doing nothing.
I finally give up on trying to call somebody and get my books for tomorrow's test and start studying.
Prof. Walter has a bad impression on me so I need to study hard to get on the label of the typical good girl which is not hard because I think I'm fine with tests. I don't freak out unlike lauren. She seems like a happy-go-lucky but test time she is a freaking mess.
I study for an hour and god knows what Alex is doing. I get done with my work and get a fictional story book. I don't usually read fictions but I can try right!
I got bored of reading that fictional story so I go to get another book. I find a book at the top shelf but the thing is I'm not so tall enough to reach the top shelf. I call for Alex and he comes and questions "What ?"
Is he always annoyed by me? Like hearing me makes him cringe.
I say "I need the book at top shelf and I can't reach it"
I think this is the first time in my entire university life he gave the book without arguing. Well maybe he does have a nice side just acts like a jerk sometimes!

He hands the book to me and suddenly the thunder roars outside indicating it is time to RAIN!!!!
I quickly jump out of fright and since I'm scared of the thunder roaring, I unexpectedly get closer to Alex a habit when I get scared specially of thunders. I don't move because I know he will make fun of me and the fact that I'm embarrassed is killing me.
I slowly lift my head to see Alex staring right back at me and for a split minute, yes I said split minute I get caught staring right back at his chocolate brown eyes. Its like his eyes are piercing right through me tearing me up.

And I take this wonderful moment (kinda sarcasm) to push him away because honestly a little more stare and I think I'm going to get ripped off.
To my dismay my bracelet gets stuck in his sweatshirt and this is embarrasing as high. He looks at me like I'm crazy and I try to remove my bracelet stuck between the fabrics. I fail doing so......
I let Alex take the lead and he tried to loosen up the fabric. He pulls me close, so close that my breathing got so abnormal and I was almost panting like a dog. Ahhh this is pain I can't breathe

This situation is awkward because I have mixed feelings.

One that he hates me and he pulled me close. Two what the heck is wrong with me ? And three I have the urge to slap him.

My mixed feelings are cleared when Alex answers "I can't get your bracelet off my sweatshirt. It's stuck and won't come out" I just look at him in silence.
Finally the fabric loosens up and my bracelet is pulled out. I see a bit damage to his shirt. It's a wooly shirt so it just got stuck like it never wanna come out.

*Alexs pov*

I admit it! I'm a complete jerk.
I did it on purpose.
Yes, the bracelet was able to come out easily but I purposely took my time to take it out. At that moment it felt kinda different....only "kinda" but now I totally regret it.

Sh*t! I feel like I'm gonna throw up. Alex! What did you think huh? I need to have a conference with myself when I get out of here and also get mental check up cause' nothin ain't right!
I go to check the door and it is surprisingly open.
I just get out along with my books but as I get out I think of ember. Should I tell her that the door is open? Maybe not. I close the door and get out. This is the punishment I give her for distracting me. Well it's not her fault not completely but oh shoot! whose fault is it? I wonder

I walk in the hallway but suddenly a rush of guilt comes and I take a turn towards
the library. I can't seem to control my actions which is involuntary at the moment.

I open the door and go to the back of the library where ember is. I see her eyes fixed on the book and her fingers twirling her hair and her lips in a curve that means she smiling.

To heck with me! I'm Harmon gym own self again.She my destroyer. I hate her more now.

At this moment she looks at me because I'm staring at her. Well not staring but you know.
Again involuntary actions y'all!
She asks "do you need anything?" "No, just letting you know that the door is opened now"
She quickly stands up "oh how did that happen?" With wide happy eyes.
I think I'm being too......nice so I just show off my attitude " how am I supposed to know? It just opened so get the hell outta here or you are most welcome to stay"
She just walks past me, ignoring. Such an idiot. I saved her life for the fishes sake. Yes I said fishes because nobody deserves her but the fishes.
I walk out and see ember standing "I was waiting for you" she said and it totally shocked me.
Her?
Waiting?
Whats going on ?
"You don't have to, night!" I walk but the next question she asks makes me feel regretting and also a different feeling and I don't know what it is

*Embers pov*
As he tries to walk off like a cool jerk he is, I feel the urge to ask him something and I blurt it out "when we are in closed doors you act like you really care about me and act all gentlmanly but when we are in the open why are you a total jerk? Do you really hate me that much?"

He doesn't turn around neither does he move forward but stands there with his back turned towards me. For a second I wanted to say that I take back my words but I think its high time I ask him not that I feel anything towards him but I just want to know why he hates me

Maybe the answer to his question will make a difference or maybe not
