Eyes on You

Chapter 10

After the incident, rumors start going around the school. People would always talk about you and Brendon having a relationship, but none could confirm that, including yourself. I mean, you can't simply ask him whether you two have something or not right? Plus you're not sure if the feelings you're having for him lately is mutual or not; or whether Brendon is feeling the same or is it just you? You decide to shrug it off again. Unfortunate for you, the rumors have finally got to Sarah. And being a bitch she is, she gets jealous for no reason. Obviously Brendon & her is off. Why would she get jealous over someone like you? Oh, it's coz she hates you from the start. There's nothing you can do about that.

On one fine weekend, you receive a call from Brendon. 'Hmm, that's weird. He never calls me on the weekend.' You thought to yourself coz usually, neither of you need the other's help during weekend. Regardless, you pick up the phone. "It's weird to receive a call from you on the weekend, you know." You say to him, ending your sentence with a bit of giggles. "Oh, shut up." You can clearly hear that he's laughing on the other side as well. "Hey, um...listen. I actually need your help, tomorrow. & I know it's weekend but I seriously need you." Need you? Wow, you interpret it in a different way but of course you do know that he meant different. "Hmm...weird. What kind of help?" "I'll tell you later. Be sure to meet at the park at 12pm ok?" "Okie dokie" You obligue. "Oh, & put on something nice. I'm taking you out on a date. Hahaa." With that, he hangs up the phone. You are left there speechless. Blush creeps onto your cheeks.

Brendon? Asking you out on a date? That can't be real right? He might be joking only just now. But you can't help yourself but to squeal and fall onto your bed, planting your face into the pillow while letting out a girly scream. Luckily it's muffled by the pillow or else your mother might come into your room and asks what's wrong. There's nothing wrong with you, except that you get excited over something simple like 'let's go on a date' from Brendon. Throughout the day, you are beaming with happiness. Even during dinner, your mom notices the small smile on your face. But you just tell her that tomorrow you're going out with your friends and you're going to bed earlier that night.

So the next day has come. You are standing by the park entrance, watching a few people stroll around the park. You put on some effort on the outfit today and feel a bit dress up than normal, you think.From afar, you can see Brendon making his way towards you and suddenly, your heartbeat increases. 'Dammit! Keep it together Y/n." You try calming yourself before Brendon reaches you. "Hi." He starts. "Hi." You can't help the stupid grin on your face. Brendon reaches into his jacket pocket and hand you a lollipop. "A lollipop?" You say, follows by a giggle. "I hope I get the flavour right?" Brendon is looking a bit nervous himself. You feel a bit relief to know that it's not just you. "I don't mind strawberry." You smile at him, which makes Brendon smile as well. "But why lollipop? Not that I don't appreciate it.It's just,...it's cute." A blush that you've been holding finally creeps onto your cheeks. "I don't wanna get all cliché soooo, a lollipop it is." He has a cheezy smile on his face by now. You let a little laugh some more. "Anyway,shall we get going?" says Brendon, extending his hand for you. "Where to?"Don't want to be rude, you put your hand in his. "How about we have some lunch?I know this very good place." He wiggles his eyebrow at you, making you laugh again. Maybe he secretly enjoys your laugh? Who knows? "Sounds good to me."With that reply, Brendon leads you by the hand. It feels nice.
