VI : POSSESSIVE "Just look at me."
Chapter 6
No one between us attempted to speak. He's just looking to somewhere while I roam my eyes everywhere except to him. I heard him sighed. The feeling of being uncomfortable increased when he put his left arm behind me. I sat straightly to eased this feeling.
Calm down, Lia. He just want to rest his arm on the bench. What am I thinking?
I froze when he pulled me backward which made me lean back on the bench. Now this time, he wrapped his arms around my shoulder. I felt something weird. I cannot even swallow. I cannot even blink. I cannot even do such things. All i can do is to freeze.
He did this thing before and i felt this feeling when the first time he wrapped his arms around my shoulder. It was in first year of highschool. I told him before to not do that thing because I am not used to it but he didn't listen.
"You're annoying me, Lia," he said.
I bitted my lip in frustration. I don't have anything to gesture. He's making me panic. I hope there's a teacher who would walk in front of us and scold us. That would be better than a scenery of me and Winwin, having an awkward moment in the field.
I stood up from my seat and looked at him while I am wearing my jolliest smile. "Let's go, i don't want to miss any subject," i gestured. He didn't moved. He's just looking at me with his expressionless face. My smile slowly became awkward. I avoided his gaze.
"Lia, Winwin, our teacher is looking for you. What are you still doing here? Break time is over." I looked at Yna who's looking at both of us. I looked at Winwin and he's still looking at me. I quickly walked away from them.
Now I am determined to avoid him. Not because I want to give him some time with his friends but because of the weird thing I am feeling right now.
I can feel that both of them are following me. I walked fastly until I am now in the front of our room. Our teacher gestured us to come inside so i did. Nana looked at me and smiled so I smiled back.
I sat on my chair. Winwin walked beside me and I can see in my peripheral view that he's looking at me.
"Since everyone is here, i want you to find a partner. We're going to have an illustration today," our Arts teacher said. Most of the time, Winwin is always my partner but today, it will be Nana. I gestured him to come and go near me. He even pointed his self, reassuring if he's the one I'm talking to. I nodded.
He dragged his chair and placed it in my front. "Your bestfriend is glaring at you, i think," he whispered. I tried not to look at Winwin but my eyes betrayed me. I saw him looking at me, shifting his eyes between me and Nana. He's not moving from his seat. Chenle even called him but he didn't budge. I avoided his eyes.
"He looks mad," Nana stated. I just shrugged. Our teacher told us the instruction.
"You're going to draw the best feature of your partner. Please make it nice. Don't forget to use your charcoal pencil to make a nice shade. Now, bring out your materials," the teacher instructed.
"Where's your partner, Winwin?" she asked. I glanced at him but I suddenly regret it when I saw that he's still looking at me. I realized that he's the only who doesn't sit with a partner.
She roamed her eyes around the classroom. She stopped her gaze to my location where Nana and I are sitting. She then looked at me and smiled.
"Just join Lia's group," she commanded. I looked at her and gestured not to continue what she's planning but she is now looking at others. I heard Winwin dragging his chair into us. I'll never look at him- okay i just saw him smirking. Okay damn please stop.
I pretended to be busy so i opened my bag and pretended to find something.
Not to assume but I can really see him looking at me. I don't what to feel. Twenty percent of that is creepy and eighty percent is strange. "What are you trying to find?" I almost dropped my bag when he asked me. I glanced at him and he's looking at me confused. Seriously? Why is he biting his pencil?
If only I could speak, I am one hundred one percent that I'll stutter. I feel so awkward because he's acting strangely. I prefer his naughty side than this 'i don't know but it is so awkward' side. He raised his left eyebrow.
'Eraser' i gestured.
"It's on the left pocket of your bag," he said. I searched it on the left pocket and he's right. Nana is looking at him weirdly. See?
They decided that I'll draw Nana while Nana will draw Winwin while Winwin will draw me. At first, I disagree to that but i had no choice so in the end, i'll just go with the plan.
I looked at Nana and examined his features. He looked at me and smiled. His smile is so beautiful so I decided to draw his lips. "Ah! Why are you looking at my lips?" he teased. I looked at him weirdly and he just laughed.
Winwin softly held my right cheek so I can face him. I looked on my right where Nana is busy sketching Winwin's eyebrows. "Tsk, just look at me." he whispered. I averted my gaze to him. He made his seat closer to mine. "Are you avoiding me?" he whispered. He is seriously looking at me right now.
My answers are yes and I don't know. Yes, I am avoiding you and I don't know why you made me feel so awkward when I am with you.
