Who will fall in love first?

5 : Beating Heart

Here's Chapter 5!! :)

--------------------------------------------
I went in the classroom and it was still early. New Achievement!! Since I had nothing to do, I rested on my arms on my armchair and slept.

We continued searching for the box and it was getting late. We were wandering around the hallways and went inside our classroom and searched every inch. Then we heard footsteps coming our way so we hid behind the TV shelf. 

We saw that it was a janitor and he wondered why the lights were still on and the door was still open. He checked if someone was still inside and we can't show ourselves or he might think the wrong thing and get us expelled. 

So, he turned off the lights and locked us in. Yes. Alone in the dark and our bodies close to each other that I could feel his heartbeat. I was getting sweaty which is kinda gross. 

He made me turn facing him. "Zaina." He whispered. "What?" 

"I've been wanting to tell you this." 

"Tell me what?"

"That I have a big crush on you."  

There was silence after he said that. It seems like my world stopped for a while. 

I could feel my cheeks getting warm my hands were sweaty and cold. He leaned towards me with his lips ready to meet mine. 

"Zaina. Zaina. Zaina!"

I looked up and saw Aubrey and she let out a big laugh. "What?" I asked with my 'just-woke-up' voice. 

"You're drooling. What were you dreaming about? " She said covering her mouth with her hand. I ignored her question because I can't tell her that I was dreaming about Clark and I that were about to kiss. I wiped away my saliva which was below my cheek and looked at beside me and saw Clark also sleeping. 

"Hey Zaina. I have bad news." I looked at Aubrey with a worried look because she looked really sad and I hate it when I see my bestfriend frowning.

"What happened?" I stood up putting my hands on her shoulders and looked straight at her emerald eyes and they were became teary which I can't handle because I might also cry. 

She covered her eyes and said, "I'm changing classes from now on." Then she hugged me so tight that it was barely hard enough to breathe but it felt somehow good. I love tight hugs. 

After a long tight hug, I pushed her against me and gave her a weak smile. "Aubrey, don't worry. We will still meet at dance class or lunch time if you and I have a free time. Okay?" I said as I wiped her tears with her handkerchief. She's like a lost little child. 

She bid me goodbye and another last tight and long hug before she left the class. 

Before anything else, I still couldn't believe that I was actually dreaming about Clark. I mean, I did tell myself that I shouldn't fall in love again. 

"Uhh. Hey Clark." I shook him a little. 

"What?" He said with a muffled voice for he was still in his sleeping position. 

"Can I tell you something?" 

He sat up and looked at me. My heart raced when I saw his face. Why would it? This doesn't mean that I'm starting to... like him?

"And what would that be? This better good because you just disturbed me from my beauty sleep." He rubbed his eyes.

"Uh.." I was cut out by Alex who jumped in and laughed while pointing at Clark.
