Innocent Love

Chapter 1

Irina's POV
Finally the classes are over. Seriously, Miss. Linda is a horrible teacher. I packed my things and got out of the class. My weak subject is language, English is fine though. A strap of my bag was on my shoulder while the other one was just carelessly falling down. I heard some voice from the left side of the corridor. The corridors were empty, probably because no one likes to stay in school main building during lunch break. I took on my heels and just out of curiosity tried peeking from the lockers. Yes the sound was coming from the locker room.

There were two students standing. A guy and a girl. The girl was crying. It was Suzan from third year that is she is my age and Jake. A student from final year. I think they finally realised someone is standing because now their eyes are fixed on my direction.

"And may I know what is going on?" I asked while tapping my foot on the wet floor. How is the floor wet anyways? Oh yes I remember. The final year students were splashing water on each other and got suspended.

"Sure. Just a deny of a proposal" Jake replied. Jake is the most handsome guy of our school and girls literally drool on him. I don't have any idea why?

He is the most handsome guy because of that. You said it yourself dumb girl.

Shut up brain. I didn't asked your opinion.

You know I'm clever than you

Not at all. You are clever because I made you so.

Is that so? I thought without me you would die.

Well that is obvious. Now stop it and let me talk to this jerk

Okay hope you handle it well. Now I bid you my farewell.

Thanks a lot. I am delighted.

After the talk with my brain I began with my talk. But what am I supposed to say? Hmm...this sounds good.

"Jake. I think you should be a little more polite even while denying a proposal. Please set that in your mind idiot" I said and walked away. That was just hilarious. I called him an idiot even though I hardly know him. Of course I don't know him and why will he notice me anyway? I'm just an average girl with black hair and blue eyes and the most ghostly pale skin.

Now is someone regretting herself?

What is your problem?

Nothing. I just love you so much that I cannot leave you.

Aww brain that was very sweet and you know I can't leave you as well. How frustrating!

I moved out. The canteen was filled with people so I decided to have my lunch at the school's terrace where I never go actually. I started walking towards the main building when someone blindfolded me with her hands. I know it's one of my friends.

"Jane. Am I right?" I asked while keeping my eyes shut. The hand was removed. Yay!

"Correct. So where are you headed to?" She asked me and joined me in my walk. Should I tell her. Nah, it's not that important after all.

"I have nowhere to go. How about you?" I questioned and started munching on my food. Yummy!

Agh! Stupid brain.

"Same. Unfortunately Liz, I mean Elizabeth is not around and sorry forgot to ask. We were actually wondering if you mind hanging out with us. I mean like me and my girls" Jane asked, typing something on her phone. To be honest I love these two girls. We don't talk a lot but whenever we do they never fail to make me laugh. I don't laugh too often.

"Irina? Lost in train of thoughts?" Jane asked me. Actually brought me back to reality.

"Yeah. I kinda zoned out. Anyways, I would love to join you guys" I said and she hugged me. Not think too much just as a friend.

"Okay then. Since, Liz is not around how about we go grab a bite after school" Jane asked and I happily nodded.

"Well. I kinda have some work so see you after school" Jane said and left me alone. Not too much of a surprise. I walked to the school's terrace and Jake was there, leaning again the wall all alone on the terrace.

"If it isn't Miss.Perfectionist" he said.

"Hello Jake. It's a surprise to see you" I said and walked forward. I looked down at the campus. Everyone were sitting together and gossiping.

"So, why are you here today?" Jake asked. The wind caused his hair to fly in every direction.

"I have nowhere to go. Secondly, the campus is too crowded for me" I replied and sat on the only bench our terrace have. Jake sat beside me.

"You have nowhere to go?" He asked. Shit! I think he got me. I just said to everyone because it sounded like a normal comment but he was quite clever to guess it at the very instant.

"You can stay with me. My apartment is quite big and I won't mind a company actually" he said placing his hand on top of mine but I got it out. It is rude but no guy has ever touched me.

"Are you sure?" I said getting up. Even my hair was flying everywhere.

"Of course I am. Okay, how about this. You live at my house and help me keep in company as a pay back. So...deal?" He asked. Keeping him company.

"And what do you mean by keeping you in company?" I was suspicious about his thoughts.

"I mean. Talk to me if I need advice" he replied and moved his hand forward. Sounds reasonable.

"Deal" I said as I shook my hands with his.
