Little Cupid

New Faces

~Thank you all so much for 100 reads! I hope you like this chapter ;)~

Amanda had issues focusing on her teacher in her class and kept shifting her attention to the date on the board.

'February the 4th,'  Amanda thought. 'One more week until the dance...'

Amanda tried to remain calm, but she felt tense from anxiety. Amanda was mainly worried about how she would be able to pull this stunt off.

Amanda's next concern is how Caitlyn will react.

Amanda managed to stop looking at the date and focused on her teacher. Once the lecture was over, she started to complete the worksheet that the teacher handed out, which didn't take long at all. Since she finished before the class, she was alone with her thoughts.

'What if someone asks me a love question at the dance? It takes me about five minutes in writing to respond, but how will I deliver advice in person?'

'How am I going to be someone I'm not without acting like myself?'

'What about Irvin? What will I say to him?'

'If I mess this up, everyone will know that I'm Cupid. Caitlyn will kill me, and Red will hate me.'

Amanda shivered at the thoughts and sneakily texted Ebony. She usually never texts in class, but she needed comfort right now.

Amanda
I feel like I'm going to faint from stress

Ebony quickly replied since she's always on her phone:

Ebony
Deep breaths. You're overthinking this.

Amanda winced but regulated her breathing. 'Ebony's right. I'm taking this too far. But I only have one chance to get this right...'

The bell rang, and the students piled out of the classroom. Amanda knew the leaving pattern of her classmates, so she was the last student to leave the class.

Amanda opened her water bottle and walked towards the corner to get to her next class. After she turned the corner, she bumped into someone, causing the water to spill on her clothes.

"Oof!" Amanda grimaced and shivered from the cold beverage.

She looked up and saw a tall boy looking down at her with a worried expression, "A-ah! I'm so sorry!"

The boy hastily took out a tissue from his bag and handed it to Amanda. After Amanda took the cloth, the boy ran off. "Again! So sorry!"

"H-hey! Wait!" Amanda tried to call after him, but the boy was already gone.

Amanda had stared in the direction he ran then suddenly heard yelling, "GET BACK HERE!"

Amanda whipped her head in the area of the noise. Two large boys ran past her shouting and running in the direction the previous boy ran in. Amanda noticed the apparel the two was wearing and recognized the two boys as athletes from the football team.

'Are they chasing him? What did he do?' Amanda thought.

Amanda also remembered that Caitlyn boyfriend, Tristan, was the football captain. 'Does Tristan or Caitlyn have something to do with this?'

Her brain then reminded her to get to class, so she took the tissue and began to wipe her shirt while walking.

Prince knew that he was going to be late to class, but he didn't care; he had to get away.

Prince kept checking over his shoulder to see how far away he was from the two football players tailing him. He managed to dodge the people in the hallway while sustaining his speed to keep far away from the athletes.
