Threshold of a new life(completed)✔

Chapter twenty-nine

The day ended so perfect for me. First, Benjamin asked me to be his girlfriend. After that, we kissed. Common, what more could I ask for?

I got home so excited, that Richard of all people noticed my mood.

"This one that you're happy, did he give you money?" He asked immediately I plopped down on the living room three-seater sofa.

"Even better than that!" I squealed. "Wait, how did you know that I went out with a guy?" I didn't tell him that I was going out with a guy, so how did he know?

"You just said it."

"Said what?" I was confused.

"That you went out with a guy." He looked at me as if telling me 'duh.' "So did he give you money?" He smiled broadly.

"No, he gave me something even better." This statement made me lost in thought. I started remembering the kiss we had earlier today– was so divine.

"Wow. This is good news then. So where's the...special something he gave you?" He laid emphasis.

I looked at him dryly, before realising that I hadn't seen Rachel since I got back. I looked around but no trace of her.

"Where's Rachel?" I looked at him and he looked away, immediately. "I said, where's Rachel?" He stood up from the couch and left the living room, hence, ignoring my question.

Go and die, motherfucker!

Rachel and I had a girly talk throughout the evening, which was fun. I told her all that happened today and she kept on squealing at every minute of silent she owned to herself. We talked till we could talk no more, before drifting into slumber land.

It was Monday morning and I was unusually happy, probably because I would get to meet my now new boyfriend– Benjamin.

I put on something very simple, yet attracting. I didn't know when I took Rachel's makeup kit and started applying a little makeup on my already beautiful face.

"This is definitely not normal." Rachel stood beside me with a perplexed look on her face.

"What?" I played charade.

"You're wearing makeup today, why?" She furrowed her eyebrows.

"Just feel like it. Do you have a problem with that?" I grinned, after which, I returned to applying the lip gloss. "And...done!" I faced her. "How do I look?"

"Not bad." She shrugged, before walking up to me and started retrieving her items into her makeup kit. "And never take my stuffs without my knowledge." She said with gritted teeth.

"No vex." I took my bag from my bed and exit the room.

The ride to lesson was a happy one. Wondering why I was as happy as a clam? For Pete's sake, I'm seeing my Benjamin today! I hadn't seen or heard from him since our– what eventually turned out to be our date. We hadn't even chatted, surprisingly.

I made my way to the signing table. As I was about signing on the book, someone said something to me which made my heart skip and at the same time, desisted me from signing.

"So you and Benjamin are a thing now?!" I looked at the person and it was Joy. I squinted my eyes. She knows? I was shocked and confused. How on earth did she know that we were a thing?

"Hm...she's dumbfounded now." She folded her arms around her chest. "Well, I just guessed and it actually is true. You boyfriend snatcher! Argh! I should have known all along that our friendship was just for you to snatch Benjamin away from me!" She spat.
