Forbidden Love

Chapter 8

I walked towards the cafeteria, still trying to figure out what my dream meant. I kept feeling my heart racing, faster than it had ever been at the thought of him...

Why...

"Hey why'd you leave without me" I heard a voice shouting from behind me. Stopping my train of thought. "Oh Desiree hi, I thought you were still getting ready so I went first" I said shaking the thoughts off. "I called out to you 3 times and no answer, you're never so distracted what's up. You've been like this ever since..." she stopped as a smirk appeared across her face. "Your study date with Anthony yesterday" her smirk a little wider. "N-no" I said, flustered, I was panicking internally.

Was it that obvious...

"Your blushing bestie" her arms crossed, looking at me with disbelief. "F-fine maybe a little..." I puffed one of my cheeks, look down away from her admitting defeat. "I KNEW IT!" she yelled "not so loud" I looked around than covered her mouth with my hand, seeing her eyes filled with excitement. "Wait have you ever had a crush before" she asked as we continued walking to breakfast "n-no..." I replied shyly "WHAT!?" she yelled, shocked by the truth. I glared at her, "sorry" she mouth lowing her volume "wait I how you never had a crush?" she looked at me confused, geez I must be the only one that has never liked someone. "Well I was always homeschooled so I didn't really get out must hence no friends, no crush." I shrugged "then lets score you a date for Valentine's Day" she said enthusiastically "wait don't" I said trying to stop her but she was already running down the stair and towards the table where Anthony and Raghnall was seating and waiting for us. I chased her trying to catch up to her, as I did I saw her whisper something into Raghnall's ear. I saw him nod and they both stood up and walked off.

I walked towards the table they were at, "what's up with them" Anthony asked as I sat down across from him "I don't know..." I said as I stared at the direction they went "anyways..." he paused as I turned to face him "any plans for Valentines?" he asked scratching the back of his head "nope" I gave a shot and direct answer "do you" I added "well..." he began, I raised a brow "I was thinking since exams are coming soon we should go to the library for like a group study...you know since there is no school that day" he suggest "sounds good, should I tell Desiree about it then?" I asked "n-no...um I was thinking it just be the two of us..." he gave an awkward smile, I took me awhile to process what he was saying...

"So a study date like yesterday?" I said unsure "y-yeah, I-it's ok if you don't want to" his awkward smile got a little wider. The air around us got tensed, neither of us know what to do it just got extremely awkward, "n-no I don't have anything going on anyways a study date sounds great" I said trying to lighten the tension that's surrounding us. "I'll meet you there after breakfast than" he said "y-yeah sounds good" we could barely look at each other or talk "so what did you 2 talk about" Desiree's voice broke the silence between us as she looked at us teasingly "n-nothing much, I'll just go and get my food" Anthony excused himself.

He walked off, and I was left frozen in fear as the 2 stared at me a mischievous smirks. "So..." Desiree said as she sat on the seat that Anthony sat on with both hands supporting her cheeks "so what?" I asked looking at her with confusion written all over. "Did he ask you?" Raghnall questioned, "are you going on a date" Desiree asked looking at me with a smirk "w-well..." I said nervous and fiddling with my fingers. "Tell us" she said excitedly, "um...I gotta get my food" I did quickly as I stood up and ran off in the direction of the counter after noticing that Anthony was returning with his. "They're your problem now" I said as I walked past him.

I soon returned to the torture with my tray of breakfast. Through out the time where we were munching on our food, we were constantly being teased and questioned. We ignored every word...
