Bias or crush? (paused)

Chapter 3 ~ A Wish

   Amelia

     I could feel two footsteps stomping towards me. All I could do was look at the hard ground I was laying on. The footsteps suddenly stopped in front of me.

     I dare not look up as I knew if I did, it would be the end of me.

     Then I saw a hand. A hand that seemed like it was offering help.

     I grabbed it with a smile, thankful that I somebody actually bothered to save me from my embarrassment. It pulled me up so that I was back on my own two feet.

     I was about to thank the person who helped me but when I looked up, a pair of cold eyes were staring into mine.

     And I thought I was saved.

     He held up a phone that had a cracked screen. That's when I realized it was his.

     "How will you pay for this?!" he screamed at me.

     Thump..thump.. Thump

     My heart was beating so fast. This was not how I imagined talking to him for the first time. I had imagined a cliche k-drama scene or partners in class or even my confession to him but never this. This was so far from what I had imagined.

     I struggled to get the words out of my mouth but I couldn't when I was halfway to choking on my tears. And to add on, all attention was on us.

     "I..I..I'm really s-sorry. I'll make sure to pay for the da-damages..."I managed to stutter.

     His eyes softened, almost as if he was shocked by what I had said. He started looking around and noticed that everyone was staring or whispering about us.

     He took my wrist roughly and he pulled me out of the cafeteria. When he stopped and let go of me, I rubbed my wrist at the part that became red from his grip.

     "Ouch...."I muttered to myself but still loud enough for him to hear.

     "You deserved it, after what you did to my phone." Wow this guy was actually a jerk. Why did I even like him?

     We were standing in a silent corridor. Most of the students were in the cafeteria so the classrooms and corridor were deserted.

     We stood there in the uncomfortable awkwardness as I was thinking of what to say.

     "Look...you don't have to pay me for the damages. I'm not a beggar. And I also don't want the whole school to think I'm some bad guy. I was just angry because I don't like it when something happens to my phone. "

     I completely understood him. I mean my whole life was on my phone. Who wouldn't have been angry if something really bad happened to their phone?
    
     "But I still feel very bad so what can I do if you won't let me pay for the damages?"

     "Not everything can be solved with money, Amelia." He knew my name?! OMG. I thought he would never notice me. He looked at me curiously.

     "Why the shocked look?"

     "It's just...how do you know my name?"

     "We're classmates remember?" he answered with an annoyed look. Right...who wouldn't know their classmates names? He must really think I'm stupid now.

     I was about to hit myself in the head when he said something.

     "Anyways, how about granting me a wish?"

     "Huh?"

     A wish?

     "Since I won't allow you to pay, how about granting me a wish instead?" I had a very bad feeling about this... But it's not like there's another way to repay him.

     "Okay....what do you want to wish for?" He wouldn't ask me to do something stupid right? Like dancing awkwardly in front of the school...of course he won't, right?

     "I'll use my wish another time, so you better be ready..." Why can't he use it now? Better to get it over and done with...now I must worry longer.

     Then it clicked in me.

     There was a next time? I thought he would never want to see me again.

     "Well, we better get to class if we don't wanna be late." he said

     I checked my watch and we had class beginning in five minutes. Wow. Time sure does past quickly. I haven't even ate yet. That's when I thought, maybe there wasn't enough time to grant his wish. Yeah, that should be it. It's not like he wants to see you again Amelia. Stop overreacting.

     The day went on as usual with the boring lessons and I was dreading every second of it. When will this day end? 10 more minutes and it's finally the weekends!

     After staring at the dull clock so vigilantly, the bell finally rang. Jeanele and Jae Eun ran towards my direction.

     "So what happened between you two???" they both said in unison.

     "What do you mean?"

     "Don't act like you don't know what we're talking about" Jae Eun said with one of her eyebrows up.

     "He just asked me to grant him a wish to pay back for kinda killing his phone. That's all" They both had disappointed expressions and I laughed at them for having high expectations.

     We walked out of the classroom side by side until we reached at the front gate.

     "Wanna have lunch?" I suggested. I was really starving.

     "Sorry I gotta run home and finish all my homework. "

     "Same."

     What?! I have never seen them so eager to do their homework. What was wrong with them today?

     "Are you guys crazy or something because the Jeanele and Jae Eun I know wouldn't do that." I exclaimed.

     They started to laugh at me hysterically.

     "Didn't you remember? We're going to BTS' fanmeeting tomorrow so we won't have the time to do our homework." Jeanele explained. Oh. Shit. How could I have forgotten?

     "Mian...kinda slipped off my mind. So meet you guys tomorrow?" I apologised. They both nodded and we went our separate ways.

     I needed to get home quickly so that I can finish all my homework and pick an outfit for tomorrow!

     And with that, I ran home while smiling like a fool to myself. I just can't wait!

So I know this chapter isn't all that interesting but I had to rush as I had to pack for my school camp tomorrow (yes I'm still a student). I wish I was Amelia who is so happy to meet Jin the next day but I'll be in hell instead. As I was saying, I'll be in camp for 3 days and I won't be able to use my phone so I apologies in advance and I'll make sure to update as soon as I get my phone back.

Please continue to support me and please follow me!!!
