Kids in Love

Chapter Twenty One

Enzo's POV

I was currently laying on my bed, headphones in with no music on, thinking. About myself, about Minho... about that.

I haven't told my friends. But I am going to tell them today. That's why I couldn't be late to school. We all have secrets, they build us morphing us into the person we are to this day.

I always wondered what Minho's real side was, but I guess now I found out. I got ready to go to school. I told my dad I was walking to school and he oddly nodded in agreement.

I walked through the cold street. The wind howled loudly in my ears. I thought back to my "date" with Minho. I was so engrossed in my thoughts to even know where I was walking, until I bumped into someone. I looked up to come face to face with Emma (previously Kate).

"Dude watch where you're going!" She hollered at me, but a smile widened her face.

"Ugh whatever angel-puss." I said, feigning enthusiasm.

"Extremely happy you got the message buttercup." She said sharing my enthusiasm.

"Not as happy as me, sugar muffin." I said competitively.

"I beg to differ, gum drop." She said, a spark of competitiveness on her eyes.

"Do you wanna bet, cuddle bear?" I shouted.

"It's on, lamp chop." She shouted back.

"Then it's on, pussy cakes." I smiled at her.

"You look cold." She said putting an end to our "argument".

"How can you tell?" I questioned, wandering how she read my mind.

She pointed towards my mouth.
"Your lips are quivering." She stated simply.

"Are you okay? You know you can tell me anything.. right?" She looked at me concerned.

"I'm okay Emma, not a biggie but I will tell you about it later. Now let's get going cause we are gonna be late." I stated. Sadness clouding my eyes. It took over the youthful mischief that once filled my eyes and confused me entirely.

*************************************
"So, after this, the B cells engulf the pathogen and the pathogen then goes through antigen processing..." Mr. Collins rambled on, unaware of all the students he was putting to sleep.

On an usual day, I would've been asleep, my snore muffled by the textbook. However it wasn't an ordinary day since Minho was in my class and I reluctantly couldn't help but look at him. I groaned. I meant to do it in my head but it accidentally went out of my mouth. I rubbed my forehead and sighed. Guess today wasn't going to be a good day.

"Y'all need to stop getting mad at your friends for not supporting your relationship when you're dating Satan." Chloe said to one of her brat friends. She's a bimbo but I guess she wasn't entirely wrong about this.

Nicole looked at her with hawk eyes, so did Violet. We all knew there wasn't anything good around her. Her intentions were never genuine, but well.

I was on my way to the bathroom. That is until someone's arm encircled my wrist.

"Miss me?" Someone whispered, huskiness bordering their tone.

I knew who it was instantly so I asked.

"Depends on who is it." I said confidently even tho I knew who it was.

"Well, what if it's your biology teacher?" He said, amusement evident in his tone.

I turned around trying to hold my laughter even tho I was highly upset with him.

"Then I'd be totally freaked out because my biology teacher is a 57 year old man." I said.

"Then aren't you glad it was me?" Minho smirked at me.

"Look I'm still trying to process everything you said to me last night. We aren't even friends, nor acquaintances, you're more likely an enemy." I said as I found my way back to class.

"So Enzo, you gonna open your pie hole and tell us what's going on?" Emma breathed out.

"I didn't peg you as an introvert." Nicole stated.

"We all know your pet peeves Enzo. There's something else going on." Violet looked at me concerned. Gosh how am I gonna tell them. We've talked about everything but now I guess I couldn't find the words to actually let them know what was going on.

"Ugh, guys it's really complicated." I said void of emotion.

"Dude you can tell us anything. We are the no-judging club." Nicole smiled at me.

"Okay so.. I went to Bocas last night... with Minho." I said while gazing at the floor. I noticed Violet was hella confused but so was I. I kinda knew it was necessary for me to explain everything to them.

"And?" Emma asked letting me know I ought to carry on.

"We talked and things at home aren't good for him. Guys this is killing me inside. I've been so deep in a well of my own pain, I couldn't see anything. He's taking advantage of us, of our regard for him. He expounded all the reasons we cannot be together and none are of the heart. I'm sure his dad wants what's best for him, but the way he goes about doing things is very unconventional." I tried to explain everything the best way I could.

"Umm so he's into you but he's flirting with me? What.the.actual.fuck!" Violet hollered at me.

"Violet, he's using all of us to achieve his goal which is to ultimately make his dad proud of him. He noticed you're a skillful straight A's girl. That's girlfriend material, and that's what he wants, that's what his dad wants." I stated out.

"Dude but like, ugh. This is so fucked up." Nicole chirped grinning.

"My advice: Never catch feelings for a human." Emma looked at us knowing what he said was true.

"He's a moron and a loser, I hated him, we all hated him, even my dog hated him." Nicole says in order to make us laugh.

"You guys talking about me?" Minho asked with a smirk on his face. Ugh, the nerve of this guy.

"Er, dude the world doesn't revolve around you." Emma faked a smile.

"Umm yes it kinda does to be honest." Minho faked a smile back while staring at me, he undoubted still had an effect on me.

"Suck it up, Benedict." Nicole spatted harshly. He was clearly annoying us.

He snorted putting his nose in the air.
"It's not Benedict, it's Minho. You make me sound like a fucking egg." He stated snottily.

Nicole snorted back in an unlady-like fashion.
"Could've fooled me. You sure smell like one." Nicole muttered. Minho didn't seem to hear but we all bursted into a loud laughter. I smiled, the headache I had was slowly dissipating.

"We need chocolate therapy." Violet hollered at us. We all nodded in unison. Who doesn't love chocolate?
