Chapter 26: JEALOUSY

Cleo

"Hmm what is it?"

His smile grow wider "Lets be friends"

****

"Huh?!" I raise my voice out of shock from his sudden request that caught the attention of other students close to us.

I smiled awkwardly to the other students "hehe nothing, just continue what you all doing" I said shyly and divert my attention again to the prince who seems enjoying toying me. What did this prince eat today? He seems so mischievous now

He grins enjoying my reaction " why would you want to befriend me?"

"Why not? Is there a rule saying not to befriend you? Beside I like you"

"Like?!" My eyes widen and once again I raise my voice out of shock, I think we were able to attract an audience. I feel like there is a handful of eyes digging a hole at my back.

"Yes I like your attitude, your so brave, bold and kind and it seems I will really enjoy being with you. Why? What did you think when I said like?" He is smiling playfully now arg he is toying me andmy mind.

My face hits up, but even though I think of that. I can't really imagine him to be someone to be with romantically, I just feel comfortable being with him and I don't know why.

I look at him intently, assessing if he was joking but all I see is determination and seriousness to be my friend and a hint of longing and sadness? Eh??

"Fine then, Friends" I said smiling and offer my hand for a handshake, i did not see anything wrong to befriend a prince. Right?

He smiled widely but instead of accepting my hands he pulled me to a tight hug. I was surprise for a second but nonetheless return the hug. What surprises me more is that I didn't feel any awkwardness at all instead I feel like there is a piece of me that is now restored.

He whispered something too silently that i didn't hear anything even though we are too close. We were like for a minute maybe? When suddenly theres a sudden pull on my wrist forcing me away from Prince Clint.

Not just one of my wrist though but both of it. It pull me away from Prince Clint simultaneously in both side.

"Hey!" I utter and turn my head side by side to see the evils who suddenly force me away from Price Clint without any words.

On my left side I see Alexter's holding my wrist frowning, I give him a glare. On the other hand on my right side Renz is also holding my wrists with a disagree expression.

"Renz why are you holding me? Is there something wrong" I ask innocently, unaware why they both pull me away.

Renz who seems surprise by his action slowly let go of my wrists and rub his hands behind his neck awkwardly. Aww he is too adorable "ahmm nothing sorry"

I smiled at him sweetly and understandingly though I really don't understand why he also pull me.

I divert my attention to Alexter "and you? Why did you also pull me? What are you waiting for let go of me psh"

Alexter's frown deepen, he look at Renz on my side and Prince Clint then to me. His face darken and let go of my wrist rather harshly "tsk!" He just said and turn his back and walk away.
