THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS ♡

chapter 13: confession

I walked into the school building and went straight to my home class as I did every morning for the past few days. My friends were already there.

I entered and sat down next to Levona who was, again, listening to music.

"Morning bishes." I greeted.

"Morning Gray."
"Gooood moooorning."
"Morning."

I turned to Levona who was really feeling the music in her earphones. She even had her eyes closed.

I yanked her earphones out of her ears and her eyes immediately shot open and started shooting daggers at me.

"Morning Levona." I greeted while rolling my eyes and tossed her earphones back at her.

"Morning Gray." she replied and put her earphones back in her ears.

I turned to face the others when my eyes noticed Layyah and Tony holding hands. I started smirking and cooed: "Awwww. You guys are so cute!"

"Keep quiet before I kick your skinny legs." said Layyah.

"Yah! Leave my legs alone!" I shouted.

She just rolled her eyes and continued her conversation with Shauna who was smiling at the two of them.

"Oh my gosh. Tayyah! That can be your ship name!" I said enthusiastically.

"Seriously?" asked Tony.

"Or do you prefer Lony?" I asked.

Shauna laughed at the idea of the name Lony and I couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Or how about no ship name at all?" suggested Layyah.

"But ship names are fun." I said. "What do you think Vona."

And of course she wasn't listening, again. This time I just tapped her shoulder.

She removed one earphone. "Mmhmm?"

"Do you think their ship name should be Tayyah?" I asked, motioning to Tony and Layyah.

"Yup. It's better than Lony." she said and started giggling.

"So it's official, your ship name is Lo- I mean Tayyah." Layyah just rolled her eyes at me.

"So when are you asking Jesse out?" asked Tony mockingly.

I immediately felt my faceu heat up the moment his name was uttered.

"Never, he doesn't even like me." I responded and looked down at my feet.

"Bruh. He kissed you! Of course he does." said Layyah.

"Then why has he been avoiding me?" I asked, yet I knew they didn't know the answer.

"I don't know. You must confront him." replied Layyah.

"That's what I'm gonna do." I said back.

***

The bell rang for interval and we all went to our spot on the field. I wanted to confront Jesse during interval but I didn't see him anywhere.

"You see Jesse yet?" asked Layyah.

"Nope." I replied, popping the "p".

"I'm sure you'll see him soon."

"Yeah. Anyway, someone buy me marshmallows please. I really want marshmallows." I whined.

"Will you stop with the marshmallows. They're disgusting." said Tony.

"You're disgusting." I replied.
