Irrepressible Heat [GxG]

Chapter II

Green Apple

When I met her, she was staring right back at me. She owned a very warm eyes that made feel nervous. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Her stares were something I didn't expect, and I knew she noticed that's why she left.

For a moment, I felt myself stuck staring at her leaving figure. I knew I was staring too much and I felt like I hit something with my feet.

"Hmm" I murmured as I looked down at my feet.

There, I saw an awfully aesthetic wrapper for a lollipop. I thought how weird yet cute it is to be covered in a turquoise paper wrapper. My eyes unknowingly darted back at the girl and saw her eating the same candy. 

At that moment, I had this good feeling that this candy was hers but just in a few moment the good feeling disappeared. I found myself distressed by the fact that I was rude to her earlier. I didn't mean to show her an uncomfortable look but her eyes was awfully warm for me to stare at.

I felt weirdly vulnerable.

I shook my head to clear thoughts and decided to return the candy and apologize to her, but before I was about to do my plan her figure disappeared.

How weird— I thought to myself then curiously at the lollipop she left. The image of the girl's expression while eating this lollipop popped out of my mind. Suddenly, My interest in this lollipop became absurdly high considering how pleasant her expression was.

Several questions ventured in my mind but those questions never really mattered because the longer I stare at the candy the more I want to taste it. I was going to but—

"Ate Sapphira! Pupunta ka ba sa homecoming party bukas"

A surprise attack hit me.

"I— I will." I said in high pitch voice as I quickly hid the lollipop in my bag and turned around to give him a smile.

The guy looked at me innocently and gave me a smirk. I immediately sense the danger in this kid. He sure did scared the hell out of me.

"Ang cute mo ate."  He randomly flirted around, giving me a creepy smile. I don't know whether I should be relieve or should be disappointed. Regardless of the answer, I still couldn't help but to stare at him for a while.

He's a good looking kid but I'm not the type of person who likes younger guys so I tapped his shoulder and just said "Thank you" and walked away in relief.

"Ate san ka punta?" He shouted. I didn't turn around and just waved goodbye. I wasn't going to let him disturb my peace. Specially when I'm not really interested in talking to him.

I don't dislike sweets, but I don't like them either. I eat them from time to time, but I wouldn't say I have a major sweet tooth. Then why—

Why the crap am I staring at a piece of cheap lollipop like a freaking predator?

I've been like this for some time now. Ever since I got home, I've been agonizing myself whether I should eat this or not. Who would have thought that this would be such a big deal— unbelievable isn't it? For me at least.

"Soli ko nalang kaya 'to sa kanya?" I hesitated then sighed. I quietly knocked myself down to my bed, enjoying the softness of my downfall.
