She Likes You

Chapter-Ten

Brandon's POV:

I glanced around the examination room to search Madeline but I didn't find her anywhere at the sight.

A teacher handed me the exam paper and I took the test silently. My mind went back to my best friend who didn't call me this morning to wish me luck for the exam.

The bell rang and I run out after handing my examination sheet to the teacher. I went to her class to find the students rushing out of the room laughing, shouting and smiling. They had a right to be happy after all it was the last day of school.

My eyes roamed around in the search of one girl who was making me insane by ignoring me.

I caught Madeline staring at me and I felt a punch in my gut at the emotions in her eyes. I didn't understand why stare affected me that much. But they made my heart beat faster and my mind blocked the rest of the world out. I could only see her standing there in her usual messy attire. Her blonde hair with brown streaks was touching her back in loose curls.

I started walking in her direction at the normal pace but she took off.

"Madeline!" I yelled her name. Other students looked at me confused.

"Madeline, stop!" I yelled.

She turned and looked at me but didn't stop running away. I pushed aside the students, running in the hallway like a madman. When I reached the parking lot, she was gone.

In past, we fought many times and had arguments. But she never ran away from me like that. Actually, I started to ignore her first because I was angry at her for making a stupid decision to date that Connor. But I realized my mistake and tried to talk to her.

I called her thousands of times but she didn't pick my call. I went to her house but she refused to meet me.

Now she had been ignoring me and avoiding me for weeks now.

From the day we become friends, I don't remember that we have ever studied alone for examination.

It was our thing to do combine studies either in her house or mine.

But this was the first time that I had to study alone. Before the exam, she would teach me calculus while I keep stopping her from chewing the pencil.

I didn't know how a petty argument turned into a war.

"Hi, baby, I was searching for you everywhere. Where are you going?" Laura said halting me in my steps.

"I was running after Madeline. I guess I have lost her again. Do you know why she is avoiding me?" I asked her shrugging off her hand from my bicep and walking in the direction of the parking lot.

"Brandon, please, stop. Listen, I know why she is ignoring you." She said.

"Why?" I asked her.

"She wants you to accept her relationship with Connor. She is in love with the guy." She said.

I was shocked. I couldn't believe it.

"Did she say it to you herself?" I asked her.

"No, I just know. I noticed how happy she has been with him" Laura said.
