Gaming You (Little Gathering Series)

Chapter 7 - Seat Pair

Diocles pov

I watch the trainers hop in the bus according to the schedule. We are heading to the camping site for our field trip. I said its a field trip but the truth is, it just another type of training method. I lied to the trainers.

"Are you going with me?" Ronald ask me while looking blankly at the bus.

I shake my head. "No. I ride with them." I point at the white bus.

He smirks. "Come on Diocles. Stop scaring the poor trainer."

"Its responsibility." I brush off his tease.

"They will be restless with you in the bus."

"Let them. Its good for their mental strength." I chuckle.

After that empty talk, I pick up my beg and hang it on my shoulder. I walk to the bus and hop in. The moment I show myself, few traines groan in shock. They correct their posture as I look for the empty seat.

There're a pair of available seat near the entrance. I move toward and seat on it. Albert as the headman marks their attentence before we process to the destination.

"Cham isn't here yet. Where is she?" Albert got my attention.

"She on her way."

After the shout, Deemia jump in the bus with her panting hard to breath. "I'm here. I'm here." She bend down a little as she keep gasping for air.

"Alright. We all set." Albert sit back on his place after inform Robin our bus driver. He is also one of my staff.

"So where is my seat?" She looks around the bus with her blank expression.

"Cham.. here." I heard Nelson calling her.

As she looks for her seat, her eyes meet mine. I glance slightly at my side because that's one empty seat beside me. Then a smirks draw at her face.

"Sorry Nel. Dear leader want me to sit with him. His lonely." My eyes widen. The crowed wow at us make me roll my eyes on them. Then they all shrink.

She approachs me and plop on the seat beside the window like nothing happen. She turn to me and smile. Since when did she's these friendly with me.

"Morning lead." She greets.

I just nod a little. She takes out her phone and pluck in her earphone. She open the music application and lean back to the seat. I try to ignore her but she smell so nice its too hard to resist. Did she smell like this before?

"Lead.." I watch her lips calling for my title. I am startle but I don't want to remove her from my sight. Why is she looks too different today?

"Lead?" She wave her hand few inche from my face. I clear my throat and watch ahead ignoring her.

"Leader."

"What..!" I groan in annoy trying to control my volume preventing any unwanted attention.

"Want to do a melodrama with me?"

I frown. "What?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

I frown even more. "Why?"

"You have or you have not?" She emphrasize.

"I do." I lie.

"Is she pretty?"

"She is." I turn to her again because of her talkative side appear from noway.

"How pretty is she?" She looks at me.

"The most beautiful girl I had ever see." My reflection clearly show in her eyes as our view lock together.

"She's one lucky girl." She breaks our connected eyes and looks ahead.

I touch my chest and feel my heart beat stroming like cazry. I glance at her again and my chest keep pounding fast. What is this? Her every small action got my attention and draw me in this strange but excited phenomenon.

"Lead?" She turn to me and smile.

"Deemia." I don't know why but her name slip out my mouth.

"Let do a melodrama." She smile beautifully.

She takes her right earphone and put in my left ear. This sweet and lovely music fill in my hearing as we share the earphone together. My heart strum even louder.

"Too bad you have a girlfriend. If not, I would like to make you mine."

She smile as she caress my cheek. This is too different.. too barerable.. too much to handle.

Then she raise a bit and turn to looks at the back then shout. "Leader has a girlfriend guys. Stop making comment behind my back. Nelson, stop giggling."

I turn to them and see their shock plus goofy face. I turn to Deemia disbelief and before I can speak she speak first.

"Just clear the understanding. Please don't demerit me." She beg lovely.

She hand me her phone and I take it. I read their group chat and these trainers are gossiping about Deemia sitting with me. They talk about us dating and in a relationship.

"Stop the comment." I speak in my authority tone toward my trainers.

"Yes lead." They answer enthusiasticly.

I sigh as I lean back on my seat. This will be a long ride. Why did she sit beside me. I turn to her but she already shut her eyes leaning back relaxing. The music in my ears keep playing change from one to another accompany me with my racing heart beat.
