Chapter 19

Lunch indeed I saw them, both of them sitting at my usual table with my friends.

Did I mention both of them!

Yes, Ruby and Damien! Damien should be supervising the gates, but no he couldn't take a day off to hang out with me. Chattering happily their faces very close that they almost looked like they were kissing. I stared at them endlessly until Ruby's eyes looked up and met mine.

A smile formed her face, a smile that looked triumphant and challenged. Then she looked away abruptly chattering her way with Damien.

That little bi-

Huh! I guess that's going to be then from now on, well then he's all yours. I have assignments that need to be done. I was starting to get very stressed out with my class assignments and the projects that were starting to pack my schedule. I thought to myself turning my heel I walked out from the cafeteria.

I decided to go to the library to start on my homework, checking out at math book from the counter. I skimmed the are looking for an empty table for myself.

Until my eyes landed on him.

That famous tousled light brown hair, identify him immediately. Walking ever so slowly towards him he had his head bowed down on a book and perfectly hear the music coming from his earphones.

Standing behind the chair in front of his table, he looked up his green eyes full of mystery.

"Nina." He greeted me, nodding at me. I took it as in invitation pulling out the chair I settle on sitting down.

"Why are you here?" He asked having his attention back on the book.

Why I'm here I thought to myself. Well my boyfriend is ignoring me and is spending incredible time with his best friend. Obviously she's starts truck by him. Here I am once again at the library, during the time you broke our friendship.

"Just here to catch up to my assignments." Taking out my notebooks and my pencil bag from my bag.

"Why are you here?" I asked him though I already knew the question for it.

"Homework." He replied simply going back reading his book.

"Oh." Was all I can say and then came the silence.

"I'm sorry, on what happen with Damien." He said calmly.

"Can we just not talk about this." I told him coldly.

"Whatever you want." He replied the same tone of my voice.

There we went on in silence in our own little world. After the bell rang I immediately started to collect my things. When all of a sudden I felt a cool hand on my wrist, stopping me.

"Wait for a moment Nina." He siad his voice sounded serious. I turned around to look at him taking my hand from his cold hand.

"Yes?" I asked surprised that he had touched me after the incident with the scarf.

"I'm sorry." He said simply.

"For what?" I asked

"For everything." He said the moment the words that left his mouth he let go of my wrist. He got from his seat and left me there speechless.

What?

After school ended I went straight to the bust stop. Knowing that Damien was to occupied with Ruby that he doesn't remember that I need a ride.
