Just A Bittersweet Memory

Chapter 5- Attraction

(Mia's point of view)

It was another uneventful week. I was tasked by our principal to be an editor of our school's newspaper. I spent most of my time in the library. I barely see Airy and Devan.

They were also busy on their cheerleading practice. Yes, both of them are talented. I do love dancing but I have too much on my plate right now so I just wanted to focus on my studies and on our newspaper.

I saw Lewis with his friends during our classes, our eyes met a few times but no one opened the topic about the text message when he said he'd rather stay with me during the party. Maybe he was not serious at all or he just needed someone to bother that night.

What a tiring day! My head started to ache and my vision became blurry. Oh, I forgot that time flew fast and it is past 7 and I haven't ate my lunch and dinner. I walked as fast as I could.

I saw Red and Neo coming out from the gym and they just smiled. I looked at the time and I knew that they just finished their basketball practice. There was a circulating rumor that Lewis will become the new captain and Liam will be replaced. I also saw Liam a while ago and he looked pissed.

When I was about to enter my apartment, I saw Lewis with Jessy.
I don't know what they were talking about. I kept walking cause I felt dizzy. I went for a shower and I ate whatever there was in the fridge.

Before I finally fell asleep,
I wondered  if Lewis noticed me earlier. What's with him and Jessy?
I felt sad but I must accept that we are from two different worlds. Maybe in another world, he'll have time to get to know me.

(Lewis' point of view)

A week had passed and I haven't got the courage to approach Mia.
I saw here in our class, she was not wearing a make up like the other girls. She was so simple yet captivating. Her long black hair looked silky and smooth. She doesn't need to put too much effort on her looks because she's pretty in all angles. Her simplicity made me more drawn into her. I also saw her in the library, she has been there for a long period of time.
I just watched her from afar.

Maybe that's best things that I can do for her right now because getting close to her will just compromise her safety.
I have a mission to fulfill. My father told me that there was a rat on our businesses because our shipments were attacked.

My dad was really pissed because a lot of money was involved. I'm here not to have feelings to a girl that I just met. Every time I saw her, I knew that both of us were attracted to each other but I will never admit it.

I have to focus and I can't still figure  out if the rat/spy has a connection to any of the students or even the teachers.

Jessy ask me to go with her and said that she won't bully Mia anymore if I go with her. I just wanted to know why she hated Mia so much and she told me that she just wanted to have Liam.

I told her that it was her problem to solve but she said that Liam was into Mia. I just wanted to learn more about them.

When we were talking, Mia passed by looking exhausted. I was not happy being with Jessy but I just have to  with the flow inorder to know what was happening because I really wanted to protect Mia.
