Drunk & Sober : IN LOVE

Chapter 13

Rebekah was absent in English class today. Not like I care infact I was glad to see that she didn't come to class as it would be real difficult to stay away from her when it was more of a habit now to sit together in the English lectures.

It was 3 in the afternoon when I was completing my Economics project which the teacher luckily agreed to collect in the next week although I was 2 days late. I had 3 days left to complete my project which was more than enough as I was almost done with it.

Austin and Rey were sitting on the floor busy playing PS4. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

I waited for them to open it but when they seemed unaffected, I closed my book and went towards the door quickly as the knocking went continous. As soon as I opened the door, Rebekah was standing in front of me holding a pizza box in her hand.

Her blue eyes glistened at the sight of me. Just then I realized how much I had missed her sweet face.

It was just a fraction of a minute when realization dawned upon me. I had to control my feelings if I were to stay away from her.

I passed her a small smile before making my way back to my study table leaving the door open. I quickly opened my books to avoid any conversation with her.

She awkwardly entered the room and after giving a quick high-five to both her best buddies she sat on my bed looking towards me. I couldn't withstand the burning gaze that was settled on me.

So I gathered my books and after putting them in my bag I got up from my seat and made my way towards the door. "Where are you going?",she asked me while standing up from the bed.

"To the library. I need some books for reference so it would be better if I just study there itself." "Okay. Even I'll accompany you. Come, let's go", she said while taking her purse and car keys that were lying on the bed.

"No", I said quickly even before she could complete her statement. Not to sound rude I further continued, "I mean you can't come along. April is accompanying me and she needs some help with her needs."

I was internally praying that she doesn't insists me any more to let her accompany me. I was relaxed when she nodded her head in understanding but I could see the displeasure on her face.

I quickly left the hallway in an attempt to avoid any more any interaction with her. I made a mental note to call April once I was done with my studies to cover up the lie I just spoke in front of Rebekah.

Rebekah's POV :

It was almost 6 when we completed playing almost 4 games on the PS4 but Rex had still not returned from the library. My eyes now and again darted on the door in a desperate desire to see him entering in the room.

I missed him. It was almost a day since I had properly talked to him.

Last night I called him to ask if he would come for a walk but he didn't receive my call. Maybe he was asleep I thought.

I don't know why but it feels that he is ignoring me. This doubt grew more clearer when I came in the room today.

He didn't even look me in the eye. I am being on my best behavior from the past few days and have done absolutely nothing to piss him off. 

But then maybe I am overthinking. It is quite obvious that I have started expecting things from him but I shouldn't forget that he has his studies to keep in par with the fun he is having these days.

I know how much his grades matter to him and I completely respect it. I was pulled out of my thoughts when there was a knock on the door.

I eagerly jumped from my seat and almost ran towards the door. I opened the door to find it was April.
