The Boy in Love With a Witch

Chapter 29

The next day went crazy.

All eyes were on us as we walked through the halls, hand in hand, while Elise stayed by my side with her head low. I could understand that she was not used to of getting too much attention and felt really uncomfortable but what could I do to stop all of this. Maybe, I should not have kissed her in front of the whole school last night. I pulled her towards her locker where there were not many students to hear us.

"I'm sorry." I apologised.

"For what?" She looked up at me with her dark eyes.

"You know... uh... for kissing you in front of the whole school." I whispered low.

"Why are you saying sorry for that?" She asked shaking her head.

"Because, now everyone knows that we are dating and they are staring at us. I know you must be feeling very uncomfortable with all of this attention." I said.

"I'm not used to of getting too much attention and yes, I'm feeling really uncomfortable but, there's no need to say sorry. Sooner or later, they would have known and we would have to go through this, right?" She raised her eyebrows in an expressing way.

"Yeah." I agreed with her.

"I'm fine. They can't do anything besides staring at us." She made a point.

"I hope it stays that way." I said and lightly kissed her cheek.

She gave me that adorable smile of hers.

After our bio class, I met Margaret in the hallway.

"Hey there, Margarine." I joked.

"Hello Harold." She replied with a cunning smile and I cringed.

"You know I hate that name." I told her.

"Why else would I call you Harold? I know you hate that name and I also know that you know that I hate the name that you gave me so, we're even." She replied.

"Yeah, anyways. What's up?" I asked casually leaning against the lockers.

"Nothing much. By the way, congrats on winning last night's game." She said.

"Thanks." I replied.

"So, you and Elise?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah." I sighed deeply thinking how I got so lucky.

"Oh." She replied in a strange way.

"What? Are you not happy?" I asked jokingly.

"Of course I am." She replied monotonously. "Anyways, I'm getting late for my class. See you around." She said and left without looking back at me.

I shrugged my shoulders and then walked towards my next class.

After school,  I dropped Elise off at the Wiccan cafe.

"Good luck for today." I told her and she nodded her head.

"I'll come pick you up at 2:30." I said.

"Harry, you don't-"

"I'm not listening to your excuses. I am and I will give you this pick n' drop service everyday." I said firmly.

She sighed. "Okay."

I moved in closer and pecked at her lips. The colour rushed to her cheeks as she smiled warmly at me. Then she got out of the car and went inside the cafe.
