Chpt 6: The End Of A Long Tiring Day

That day I went home very tired. I was too tired to make food but was hungry at the same time.

I wished mom was here, she always made the tastiest pancakes and rolls. Then we would organise a mini tea party along with my dolls and teddy bears. She would make little fairy cupcakes with pink and blue icing and rainbow sprinkles especially for us.

And we would talk, giggle, gossip and laugh all afternoon. She would dress me up in cute dresses with pink sashes and blue frills. She used to tie my long hair into two braids and tie with using white lace ribbons. I also owned a pair of lilac Cinderella shoes, with kitten heels.

With her gone, I never felt like dressing up and wore simple plain clothes from then. I cut my hair short and never really bothered about looking good. It was two years later when I met Zoe and ray of sunshine that she is (no sarcasm) she really added colours to my life. I also became friends with Isaac, with whom I loved spending my time with. He always knew the right words to cheer me up and I always felt happy when I was around him. I still do. Now that he's grown hotter. Shut up, Cam! I don't know what's wrong with me. Since when did I start calling him hot.

I started the TV and saw that the Big Bang Theory was on. Well, at least something.

My phone beeped. It was a message.

Hey nerdy birdie. It's Dylan here.

Dylan??? How did he get my number?

I typed back.

How did you get my number?

That's for me to know and for you to find out. He replied.

Suddenly I heard a male voice behind me.

"And here I am, mademoiselle!"

"Whoa! You scared me, monsieur!"

"So...now that I'm here..." He grinned.

I raised an eyebrow, but couldn't hide my blush.

"Let's get going with the project!" He said laughing. So immature! Yet cute..."I always get you blushing, don't I?"

"No" I said, blushing deeper.

He chuckled. Oh, he looked so cute when he did that.

"You know, I'm glad that we've been paired up for the project." He stated.

"Oh really? Is that why you told Lindsey that I'm not your type?" I blurted out. Oh god, I hope he doesn't think I'm jealous or something,

"Ouch. Seems like someone's jealous..." Nailed it! Mental smack on the forehead. I hate myself. "You know what makes you beautiful? Intelligence is attractive." He winked. "And it's great that I have you.." He said holding my hands and slowly caressing my fingers.."that way I don't have to worry about anything"

He came closer to me, so close that I could see the freckles under his eyes, so close that I could feel his warm minty breath on my cheeks, so close that he pulled me towards by grabbing my waist and slowly started grazing my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me closer and slid his hand under my shirt and trailed small kisses on my neck.

Suddenly, a thought struck my mind. He had a girlfriend! And even though, she wasn't exactly amiable, still it felt wrong.

"I-I think w-we should s-stop" I stuttered and pulled back.

"Why is that?" He said coming close.

"Before we were assigned together for this project, you never even spoke to me, Dylan. We barely know each other, except the matter of fact that everyone knows you.."

"I've always secretly admired you, Camilla." He said smiling, as if he has said it many times before.

I couldn't believe my ears. My crush always secretly admired me? The day couldn't get any better.

"Okay, I've got to go now." He said, getting up.

"But what about the project?" I asked.

"What about the project?" He made an innocent puppy face.

"Aren't you going to help?"

"Oh right. But you're cleverness is enough for the entire project. I'm sure you'll do good." With that, he left, before I could say anything to stop him.

We were going too fast. And somehow, I felt that he didn't actually mean what he said about secretly admiring me but who am I kidding, I just made out with the hottest guy of the school. And anyways, he has always been my crush. Of course, it's a good thing that I'm doing. Or at least I suppose.
