Deeply In Love (gxg)

Chapter V - You Smile, I Smile

I woke up with an unbelievable headache piercing through my head. I am feeling so low right now, I just want to go back to my house. Living with grandma is of course sounds appealing but I miss our home, my parents home.

I wish I had dreamt about Carmina but I had the opposite. I dreamt about us, me, with my parents. I missed them so much. I felt hot liquid flowing freely from my eyes, I have no energy to go to school but I have to. I forced myself to the bathroom and take a bath before wearing a simple denim long sleeves, pants and converse shoes. I just wanted to feel light so I sat in front of my mirror and did my hair. I applied light make up so even though I feel so down today, my appearance wouldn't give way to it.

I was welcomed with a warm smile of grandma. "You look lovely today Carla."

I forced a smile and made my way to the table for breakfast.

"I'm glad you're getting back to your old self."

"I dreamt about them Grandma. Can I stay there this coming weekend?"

She stared at me as if contemplating whether to say no or yes. She sighed and said yes eventually. I couldn't be happier.

When I go to school, Hailey greeted me with a kiss on my cheek.

"You looked extra cute today."

I weakly smiled and let her hold my hand and walk me towards my first period. I don't really have the energy to argue with someone today. She even hugged me before I stepped inside the room. I sat quietly and didn't bother Mr. Fernandez today. I know he was wondering why because he's looking at me from time to time.

When Kate saw me entered her room she greeted me with a genuine smile and who am I to ignore that? I gave her what she deserved, I flashed a smile at her and I couldn't really figure out what's on her head when she smirked at me. I just shrugged it off and tried focusing on the discussion. I even join the discussion which left them surprised. Well, who wouldn't? I am usually doing something forbidden first before saying something sensible.

I grew nervous when the bell rang signaling my last class. I met Martin on my way there and he was shocked that I put some effort into my appearance today.

"Wow. What's new today?" He faked a gasp and we just laughed it off.

"Nothing really. I just missed them." I know he sensed the sadness on my voice and he subconsciously put his arm around me as if protecting me with any harm. But it was quickly removed when I heard a loud smack. I saw Hailey on our back which earned a squinted look from Martin.

"Don't take advances with my girl." Hailey scoffed and replaced the arm around my waist.

"Whatever." Martin snickered and lead our way.

I just laughed at them. Believe it or not, they are siblings with different mothers. Martin was born in January and Hailey was born in December, the reason why they have the same age. I couldn't believe it at first but it's the truth. Martin is fully aware of Hailey's admiration with me but even though he hated the idea, he couldn't really hate Hailey. Although they have different mothers, he loves her and I admire him for that.

We made our way to the art class and as much as I tried to ignore the nervousness inside, I just couldn't. I smelled of her perfume and it danced feverishly in the air teasing my nostrils. I couldn't deny how I fell in love with Carmina in my dream and seeing the replica of her in real life is more than anything to be described.

It took all my willpower to not spare a glance with Ms. Villanueva. I settle my bag in my chair and comfy myself in it with my hands on my table. Since this school is patterned after America's Institutions, all students have tables too. Since this is an art class, we often remove the tables and replace it with a canvas together with the stand and the like but I guess the teacher decided to just discuss today.
