Layers of Insecurities

Chapter 7

While everyone is getting ready for the lesson, I put away my headphones so we can start. Dante started to explain the basics and the formula then he showed how to solve it step by step we all understand now at this point and I was starting to understand how to solve it. Soon enough the bell rings and we all head to life science class. 

Science class came, the teacher decided to divide us into pairs Lina was stuck with some boy, while lucky me was stuck with Dante, our assignments consist of us making a presentation of how photosynthesis convert carbon to oxygen and how they make glucose. so immediately we started to work on our presentation. We sat in silence until he spoke up "hey give me your phone" I raise an eyebrow at him but gave him anyway, why would he need my phone ? as if he reads my mind he said " I have to get your phone number to contact you about our work, I thought it would be weird to ask for your number, so I can just put in my phone number in yours instead so you can contact me if you have any question." I nodded, I took my phone and ringed his "there now you can save my number " I said as I continue to research. 

Class ended we were given two weeks to work on it, which is a lot of time so I guess it never hurts to start early,I started to head towards the library I found an empty seat In the corner, making my way over I sat down and mentally sigh "ahh... quiet and peac.." . soon was disturbed by the god himself, "great just what I need " I whisper underneath my breath. 

Dante pov ;

As I walked into the library to study, I spotted my one and only little Tulip, so why not make my way towards her, as I walked over I heard something that was being mumbled which made me smirk, never in a million years I could even imagine that I would meet her again and there she was sitting in that booth.  

"Hey love" I said as I sat down next to her, which was fine cause it was a booth anyway so basically she can't run anywhere. "what do you want?" she grumbled, "Nothing I was just checking up with you, because you seem lonely here, love" she scrunched her nose "stop calling me that" aww so cute she is blushing, " No, i will keep calling you, Love... " I made my voice deeper and huskier, her face grew beet red, she lowered her head and shook it, I use my thumb and index finger to lift up her face so I could see her hazel eyes, she has a speck of brown in the white of her eyes, which was very unique. As i got lost in her eyes, she quickly adverted her gaze from me and cleared her throat, "hmm I think we should get started on the project", wow what is she doing to me.

Halfway through the project i took out a cookie that my mom made and hand it to her with fresh orange juice that i ask someone to squeeze it for me this morning, she eyed me and took it, she takes one cookie out and hand it back to me, " eat it love, you have to eat something " she sigh and nodded, and soon spoke " you have to eat it with me..." this is the first time that my heart have stopped, i smiled " alright go on" after we finished the cookies and drank all of the juice we head on back for social class. 

"alrighty class, today we will learn about the french colonizations, i want you all to get into groups of four and read the article that i will soon hand out" she speaks loudly so that everyone can hear her with her nasally voice i think everyone did, i make my way over to Tulips table and Lina's, while i sat down next to my little Tulip grey sat down with Lina they were awfully quite close and he is definitely whipped for her, i will have to check on him later, but now as long as i have my little Tulip with me everything is fine. 

Two long hours later the dreaded class was finally over, now time for my favorite subject basketball club here i come, i am sad that i have to leave my Tulip but my team needs me so i have no choice, after training i went straight to check up on my Tulip who was singing quietly with the teacher i stared at her in aww, until her phone rings " hello mum, you can't come to pick me up ?" she ask her face slightly frowning, "oh if you are busy with the company then no worries i can get a taxi" oh no way am i going to let her ride a taxi alone, i assure myself "alright bye " she hung up and continue to sing, i silently watch her from the door until she turns around and jumped, " ohh i didn't see you there " she nervously laughs as she hides her now red face " don't worry i just came " i eyed the teacher so she wouldn't say anything. 

"why are you here ?" she ask while i walk with her to her locker, " i just walk around and then i saw you, " "sooo when is your mom going to pick you up ?" i ask " oh mum is busy i will ride a taxi home " she replies " then come on, i will take you home " she stopped in her track " no thank you she plays with her feet " come on beside taxi is not safe and your parents knows me " "hmm " she tilt her head " alright, let me call my mum" after two rings her mom picks up the phone " mum ? yeah Dante is bringing me home is that okay ? " after i heard voices mumbling ''okay" she ended the call, and sigh "lets go ".

Ride home was silence, it was a comfortable silence i could get use to this, having her presents near me is amazing, when we arrived at her place she said her goodbyes and left.  She really is hard to get her to open up but somehow i feel a sense of over protectiveness, especially from what i heard she has gone through, there is one thing i am sure i won't let no harm come to her ever again.
