CH.55: GIRL ALMIGHTY

*MONDAY*

"Are you going to stare at me the whole day in class?" I bluntly asked Zayn who was seated beside me without looking at him.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" He wasn't even listening to me just now.

"Quit staring at me." I said.

"Well, I don't really want to look away..." He sighed as he continued staring at me in an adoring way.

"At least the guy's not drooling." Louis came by to my desk just to say this.

"Why won't you tell me your freaking motive?!" I asked Tomlinson regarding the talk that we had in the shower room.

"Because..." He says and then smiles before walking back to his seat.

What a weirdo. I bet he's doing this just to mentally torture me.

"Did you know that you have such amazing eyes?" Zayn asked and this made me turn to my left to face him.

"Actually, I do. You already told me that when we were dating... you got any better pick-up line?"

"Oh I'm not hitting on you or anything. Believe it or not, I just want us to be friends." He grinned.

"Right." I squinted my eyes at him.

"Seriously." He convinced.

"Okay then, how about we hang out as 'friends' some time this week?" I thought of an idea to prove if he really meant what he said.

"Sure. Let's watch movies in my flat." He agreed.

I was just doodling in my seat during the fifth period when Robbie entered my classroom and stopped right in front of my desk.

I just looked up at him wondering why he was here and realized that all of my classmates were staring at the two of us.

It's a good thing that the teacher still hasn't showed up yet for it would be a lot troublesome.

"I... um..." He looked like he was a bit loss for words.

I waited for him to say whatever was on his mind as the people around us started gossiping so loudly about me.

"She's such a fake."

"Her love for him is clearly made up, just saying..."

"Hey, am I the only believer here?! This girl right here is great and amazing! So screw what you guys think!" Robbie made a ruckus just to defend me.

"I'm sorry about everything, okay? Forgive me?" He ran a hand through his hair, meaning he was nervous.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry." I apologized.

Why do I suddenly feel completely cheesy and giddy on the inside?! This is such an unusual feeling.

Maybe because I knew that we'd make up and everything would all be back to normal again?

One can only hope---

"Sir, Cher's sleeping in your class again!" Louis' high-pitched voice interrupted my 'too good to be true' dream.

Bullocks! I'd like a 'punching Louis in the face' dream so badly right now but I can't really go back to sleep because that blabbermouth told on me already.

"Ms. Lloyd, please step out of class this instance." The principal's son, Craig, said.

"Haha!" Louis exclaimed as he pointed a finger at me like any immature, spoiled kid would.
