Oh, love
Chapter two: Jealousy
NADINE wanted her table, but a few other students had already occupied it. She sighed.
Oh well.
She glanced around for an empty one. Something caught her eye and made her feel sick, it was James and he was flirting shamelessly with Veronica, can't they go somewhere else and do that.
This is a place of learning not of flirting.
She wanted to go and kick him in the head. Nadine shook her head; no she wasn't going to let him get to her. She came to study and that's just what she was going to do. She heard someone calling her name and she glanced around in several different directions. Nadine found Paulo waving her over, and she went to his table and sat down across from him.
"My usual table was taken over by the other third years," She said in huff.
"Yeah, I saw that." Paulo said. They took out their books and began a wonderful study session.
James let Veronica get back to her work; he lifted his head slightly, glancing at the table not to far from his. He saw Nadine talking quietly with Paulo. He knew she would come in here, she always did. James just didn't understand why he needed to now be around her all the time. At first, it was only teasing her and making her annoyed, but his feelings changed afterwards. He knows he should leave her be and stop annoying her, but something is pulling him towards her.
James stood up and tried to leave the library but he only succeeded in going to a shelf and pretend to look for a book, occasionally he would shift his eyes to Nadine and Paulo. She was smiling about something while looking at Paulo. James felt that new twisting feeling, followed by a burning sensation in his stomach. He even grabbed a really large, heavy book from off the shelf and brought it back to his table. He remained standing still looking at them, he didn't lift his head much, but his eyes were still focused on them.
Paulo smiled lightly at Nadine, pushing the books aside, "How about we play a question game? I really want to know more of you, Nadine."
"You know, that's a great idea. We're done with History anyways." Nadine said in amazement.
"So.. Anong favorite number mo sa electric fan?" Paulo leaned forward
Nadine bursts into fits of laughter, "Seryoso ka ba?" She chuckled, before leaning closer to him, "Uh, 2.. Hindi masyadong mahina at hindi masyadong malakas. Sakto lang,"
"Question number 2, roses or sunflowers?"
"Wait lang ha, bakit ako lang sumasagot..."
Paulo smirked, "Nadine, sige na. Two questions then you're turn to ask,"
"Fine, uhm... Sunflowers, because they're more beautiful for me,"
"I think you're more beautiful than those flowers," He was leaning closer.
"Uh," She blushed
They were closer now; their lips not even an inch from one another. Nadine's eyes closed as did his, they were making the final move to press lips against lips when SLAM! A loud echoing noise startled them both; Paulo and Nadine jumped back, not getting their kiss.
