This Is So Not Happening

Chapter 19

Dean selling drugs? I shook my head off, I cannot believe it. He wouldn't. He's a great guy. I dont think he'll ever do something like that.

Haynes' tea replayed in my head and my trust towards Dean was eating away faster than I could imagine.

I couldnt just jump to conclusions.Thats just wrong.I have no rights to judge him too.

Out in the balcony, I gazed up the sky and saw a few star all far apart from each other and let out a heavy sigh after breathing in a lung full of oxygen before heading off to bed

-

It has to be one of those days, which is pure vexatious. Firstly, I lost my money, secondly, I tripped in the hall way, hurting my knee in the process, and some freak vandalised my locker with the phrase "stay away from Haynes," which I was certain maybe from obsessed psychopaths who's a big fan of Haynes.

"Leah, are you done with the pieces for Nightsky exhibition?," Ms. Anna catechized while fiddling with a pen in her hand.

I took a short break from my painting to abut her. "I need to finish 2 more paintings," I concluded

"make sure you finish them by Monday yeah," she prompted a behest.

"I'll try," I replied with a weak smile.

She wandered around to see the rest of my friends' progress while I continued to work on my painting.

Thea walked up towards me from the back and she had her arm around my neck.

"heyya there!," she beamed

"oh hi Thea, I see you've come to distract me," I joked playfully while giggling

"oh, hows your jaw?," I asked while my focus was still onto my painting

"its better now, though,sometimes I have pain pulses going down my neck,"

"ouch," I replied while swabbing another dash of paint onto my work.

"I heard you've been hanging out with Inera, is that true?," she whispered

"yeah, he's around, why are you whispering?," I crunched up my nose, questioning her behaviour

"so you're not into Haynes anymore?," she added and it triggered me

I flinched and turned to face her. "well, to be clear, I never said that too," I curled up my lips.

"its just, usually when I see Haynes, I can feel butterflies in my stomach and my mouth stammering, but now it feels rather comfortable talking to him as if... I dont have any non-mutual feelings towards him," I elucidated

"you know what, I dont even know and.... I dont even want to think about it," I sighed turning back to my painting.

"well, about that, as your bestfriend, I think that I shouldnt be lying to you, but Tommy told me that he might be into you," she tattled.

I choked on my own salive as my fingers trembled upon that statement and suddenly my body felt electrified. I let out a nervous laugh and glanced at her.

"hell no way, he likes me... Pffftt," I repudiated while shaking my head in spurn

"s***, you're being denial, open your eyes Leah! Thats not impossible," she chuckled

"who would like me?, nobody ever likes me anyways, I'm unlike you guys, I dont stand chances, I'm ugly," I bolted

"why the f*** would you say that?!," she ejaculated, both her hands on my shoulder and she spun my body to face her.
