Never Fall For The Billionaire

The Second Question

Chapter 4: The Second Question

WHAT?!

What does that have to do with anything?

And my first love? What was he talking about?!

I mean, sure I love Adam. Who doesn't? Or does he mean in love? As in romantically?!

. . . I don't think so. I don't see him in that dramatic way.

Dammit! Why was Derek so confusing all the time? Why was he making me so confused?

------

The following sunrise arrived too quickly. It was a thoroughly normal day. Err, morning. Normal weather. Normal Wednesday. Normal everything. It was supposed to be normal. You know what's not normal?

What I was about to face. How should I act in front of Adam? Derek? I could feel myself getting a headache from all that meaningless thinking. How I long to skip school for a day. But I knew I couldn't. Can't.

Before long, class was in session. I took an extremely lengthy deep breath. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breath-

"Ow!" I cried out in pain when somebody punched me on my arm. "Abigail! That actually hurts you know!" while rubbing my sore shoulder.

"Geez, no need to get mad, you seemed like you needed a pick-me-up," Abigail sighed, "You seemed a little more . . . stressed than usual."

"Tell me about it. You wouldn't believe what happened the last two days," I exhaled dramatically. So much happened in only two days. Even I wouldn't believe it myself. I relaxed myself for several seconds, demanding myself to calm down, "Oh, and Abigail?"

"Yeah?"

I smiled gratefully at her. She was truly a great friend, "Sorry for yelling and thanks."

"Anytime," she grinned happily.

I shut my eyes and took one more breath.

Too bad I opened my eyes too slowly. I tripped over someone's dangling foot. Who taught me to walk with my eyes closed?! Not to mention, it's so embarrassing!

My eyes were still partially closed when I fell onto somebody, pushing him or her down with me.

I hastily opened my idiot eyes and literally came face to face. Just a tiny centimeter away.

With Adam.

We were both startled. If anyone saw us, they would probably think we were making out under the table or something. It was just my luck that Derek saw the whole, well, probably not the whole scene; just the 'kissing' part of it. And boy, was he furious. Nothing like I've ever seen him before.

"What do you think you're doing?!" he sputtered and glowered at the same time.

Um. I was trying to find my voice yet I couldn't manage somehow. It would've been funny if it wasn't for the fact that I just tripped. Then I realized I was still on top of Adam. In a...let's just say, in a very misunderstanding manner.

I blushed a deep coral color and rashly got off. Whilst Adam had a very....amused facial expression.

Derek was shooting daggers at him now. He must have thought Adam planned that on purpose, when he didn't. Well, at least now I don't need to worry about how to react in front of them anymore. Except I wouldn't have mind a less disturbing show.
