The Boy Who Never Left Her Side

Chapter 13

 (edited)

Rebecca's POV

Some part of me wanted to immediately run back to him and forgive him but my brain knew that he did not deserve that. for some reason, it was good to know that he was jealous. The question was: why was he jealous when we were not anything? It was just weird. I wanted the answer to that question. It was making my head ache from thinking too much. I wanted to know everything. Why he did what he did. So, I decided to confront him tomorrow. In school.

******

The next morning, I dressed up quickly and rushed to school. I reached there quite early which was my intention since that was the only time I got to talk to him without anyone overhearing what we said.

After a few minutes of simply waiting, I saw Ethan entering the school gates. As quickly as I could, I rushed over to him and dragged him to a very secluded area.

"What the hell-"

"You don't get to 'what the hell' me! I've dragged you here because I need some answers." I cut in.

"Umm... Okay, I guess. Shoot..."

"First of all, what are we?"

He hesitated.

"Well?"

"F-Friends?" He replied, stuttering a little.

"Was that a question or an answer?"

"Uh. Friends. An answer."

Boy, did that hurt a part of me. A lot, may I add.

"If we are friends, then why did you kiss me? Friends don't kiss each other, Ethan! Friends also, do not come that close to each other. Then, why did you do all that?"

"I-I don't know what to s-say. I mean, I know what I did was wrong and I'm sorry for, you know, jumping to conclusions and all. I know you trusted me and I broke it. I-I'm sorry for that and I want to make it up to you so..."

"So?"

"Willyougooutwithme?"

"English, Ethan."

"W-Will you go out with me tonight?"

I didn't expect that. His eyes held concern and truth but I didn't want to fall for that anymore. I hurt myself once trusting him, and I didn't want to go over it all again.

"I don't think that's a good idea after all that has happened."

I saw hurt flash on his face but he immediately masked it. I knew my actions were rude and I felt sorry for him but this had to happen.

"Please. Please just give me one chance to make everything right, again. Just one chance."

His eyes were so convincing and held so many emotions which I had never previously seen in him. Emotions which showed me a new side of him and pulled me towards him.

I gave in. after all; some part of me did want to make everything all right.

"Okay, fine. Just one last chance."

His face immediately lit up like a child who just got candy after years and years of begging.

Just after that, the bell rang and we went our separate ways to class. I was happy everything was okay now between us, at least for now.

Curiosity killed the cat, right? I was that cat right now because I wanted to know what he was planning for tonight.

Ethan's POV

I wanted to jump with happiness. At last, she had said yes. When she had asked me what we were, it was very hard for me to say that we were just friends. I knew it wasn't possible. Our relationship was never just that. It was much, much more and I wanted to give a title to it. But that moment had to be special. After all, years of crushing had to be revealed in the best way possible.

*******

A few hours later, I was ready. I had worn a formal suit. It was said that a boy in a suit, on a beautiful date, with a beautiful girl, could never go wrong and I was hoping for that.

Rebecca's POV

I was so nervous about the date. I had never expected that we would have a second one. At the same time, though, I was also happy. I was content with the fact that he didn't showcase our relationship, or whatever was between us, in front of the whole school. All of you know what kind of gossips go around once everyone comes to know that their bad boy and the random nerd are close to each other.

I knew there was something he was hiding from the whole world. Something he couldn't or wouldn't show to anyone. I felt that he was showing glimpses of that side to me now. He used to hide it from ever me but now he was opening up and I wanted to know more about that hidden part of him. The part that was so different from his 'bad boy side'.
