Chapter 3 : You Again?

Chapter 3: You Again?

Erica's P.O.V

  It was early in the morning and Mara had a smile on her face. Now, this was interesting.

"Good morning Erica! " She beamed and smiled. Now, I know why. Did she really think I'd loosen the grip? The answer is no and no matter what cute face she will do, she will explain why she was late last night.

  "So.." I trailed my fingers on my cup," are you going to tell me why you were late last night?" I asked. She lost her smile and replaced it with an annoyed look. "Yes, I will." She said with an irritated voice. "Of-course you will." I winked. Mara sipped her hot choco and explained why she was late, and for someone to be close to her, I knew she was lying and her story goes like this :

"I was- uh-late because-uh-I was kind of waiting Chloe and uh- Drake, I'm sorry and we were caught up with traffic so you know." She finished. Instead of lecturing her, I didn't. And that is because I knew why she was irritated. Chloe told me the whole story about Kevin Moore and the accident blah blah so I let her be.

  Mara was taking shower and I  needed to go to the Music Theater to lecture the juniors about performing. Well, I teach everyone who has a talent of bringing music to art and whoever was interested. Today was an audition for putting the best to the spotlight and I know who the right person to ask , Mara Tyler. "Mara! See you at the audition at 3 pm , Don't you dare miss it." I shouted to the door where Mara was taking shower. I know she would come. I know.

Kevin's P.O.V

"Hey, man. Come to the audition later, you'll be awesome. No kidding you're good." Jonathan says as he was heading to school already. We apparently share the same  dorm in our school. "You don't have to compliment me, yeah..I'm going." I say with an irritated voice. He headed towards the door. I was going to be late for 30 minutes , I knew. I showered then got my jeans and gray shirt then ate bread for breakfast and ran towards the hall. Suddenly I remembered the accident I had yesterday for hurrying and it left me somewhat smiling while walking. I stopped, this was the class. English Class : Mr. Duval. I fixed myself to open the door.

  "You again?" I heard a familiar voice from behind me. I turned around and saw the same girl yesterday. She was cute I had to admit it. I smiled. "Yes, it's me...again." I said with  sarcasm on it. "Well, that sucks." She says while making a face. I opened the door for her and she entered not even thanking me. What a rude behavior, she really is a stubborn girl calling me annoying and irritating.

  "Mr. Moore and Ms. Tyler, why were you late? I see that the two of you are getting along. You two sit at the next two tables" He said while raising one of his eyebrow "and...that would be your permanent seats."He finished. I could feel a sigh of relief. I didn't want to sit with someone I don't know or to someone I was not comfortable with.

  We sat down at the same time, she sat by the window and I sat next to her seat. I looked to her and she gave me a glare. "What is wrong with you?" I asked. "Nothing is wrong with me but something sure is wrong." She snaps. I don't know but she is really cute when she's angry and really beautiful when smiling. I loved annoying her it makes everything fun at school. "Well, the seats are perfect..Don't you think?" I stated more than to ask about it. She sighed. I laugh a little and smiled.

Mara's P.O.V

   Well, everything was going WELL! Ugh. That Kevin Moore. He's so irritating and annoying and well , he's handsome and all,but he should really work on that attitudes of his. He was my seatmate, how is that for a torture? He kept bugging me and teasing me. The way he winks was distracting me the whole class. What was happening? What really caught my attention was when Brianna asked Kevin to sit beside her and rejected her and even told her that he liked sitting beside me and that I was no freak. I wanted to laugh but I can't show it to him, so decided to give him a sweet smile." So, covering your mess? This maybe how you say sorry so I'll accept it. Forgiven." I winked.

  I saw him very different from today and I'm glad. I looked to see my watch and was shocked. "It's 2:45!" I muttered to myself. I was suppose to go to audition and I have to take a bus to be there. Mara, what were you thinking about so much? Kevin and Chloe were busy. what do I do? I hurried to the hall and ran to the bus stop but failed to stop  it from leaving. It was full.

Kevin's P.O.V

  I was happy the whole class, not just because  that was my favorite subject but also because I loved teasing Mara. Her smile and her wink, it's really beautiful and really natural to her. I couldn't think straight. She was a distraction. As I was heading to the audition I saw Mara running towards the bus stop but failed to catch it.

  It was already 2:50 and I know I didn't think , because I turned my car reversing and going to Mara's direction. I beeped and she turned around. "You again?" I say teasing her. She groaned then laughed and I joined in laughing. I liked this side of Mara."Come, I'll give you a ride. Where will you go?" I asked. "To an audition." She says with a smile. Sure, I couldn't resist that smile. Wait, Audition? Will she also join or just watch ? Well, I'll find out.
