Chapter 35 - the damn scrutinizing gaze

Throughout our last outing in the ice-cream shop we had talked about our break coming up. The thought of having our little escapades round America had crossed our minds.

A lot, if I could say so myself.

But we had shut it down. We had talked about the almost move and I may or may not have had speeches of trust from my two best friends in which I apologized immensely.

I mean, how much can a girl apologize for something that wasn't even my fault!!!!

After a lot of pleading from the boys for my sake, my best friend's finally let it go with a warning. After which we enjoyed our ice-cream in peace.

Soon we were out of the place, getting ready to go home when I was called my the one and only Liam.

I swear it's like the boy is always there

"Hey" he nodded at me. "so what's up your agenda?" He asked, blocking my line of sight of the others.

"Uhhh, apart from the fact that I have a whole vacation planned and I am supposed to be on my way to my home then not much, you?" I said with a smirk.

Krystal: 1
Liam:0

He chuckled, "I get it you know"

"Ohhh, you do? Wow never thought you would understand such simple English laid out for you"

Cue the evil laughter

Krystal: 2
Liam: 0

He pointedly looked at me, stared deep into my soul.

I swear those hazel eyes will be the death of me one day

"Sarcasm not appreciated" he finally said with a blank face.

I sighed, massaging my forehead, "sorry I'm just a little tired" I gave a small smile, "so why did you ask?" I finally gave him audience.

"It's okay" he smiled at me running his hands though his hair. My eyes stuck on the action, "I just wanted to ask if we could take a walk"

Uhhh, take a walk....

Is there a hidden agenda in those words.

God, how clueless can I be sometimes.

"Sure"

I had gone to tell Kev of my wearabouts before leaving. He had simply given me the look, which by the way I don't have an idea of what he was talking about. After which I waved goodbye to my friends.

Soon after, I was swept away by Liam who happened to be impatient if I say so myself. We walked down the street, our steps as if in autopilot taking us in one direction.

We walked quietly for a while, the silence had this uncomfortable yet breezy sense to it.

Most probably because it was a very breezy evening...

The thoughts I had put at bay began to arise. Like how did I find myself in like with someone who I hadn't even liked in the very first place, not because he offended me, not because he walked up to our table. I mean... there were a lot of other tables.

Yeah...

Popular tables, if he really wanted and he just had to know Rhoderick, or the boys in general. He could even have gone to other jocks tables but no! He had to choose mine.

But that wasn't the main problem, the main problem was the fact that he made it his personal mission to be my friend. God, how many times could you tell a person no. But he was stubborn and I did commend him for that. He did win my respect for that and somehow made himself my friend.
