When A Tomboy Girl Falls In Love

Chapter 6

"Hey! Listen, you'll have to drop me home. I usually like to walk some way and then take a bus or metro to home. But, I don't think I can do that today." Ryan declared as I helped him take down the notes in History class.

Oh no! I was feeling suffocated. I didn't want to be with him. I really wanted to part ways. A sudden feeling  had emerged inside me which I didn't want to explain. I didn't want to let it continue or get stronger. My stomach twitched and my throat became dry.

Why was I reluctant? It was just the matter of one day. Still, I really didn't want to be involved with him for anything. But, I had to unburden my guilt. I had to help him.

Why was I feeling nervous? What is this feeling? I really don't want to say this but I wanted myself to stop from liking him. I don't wanna fall in for him. And that is why I want to part ways. The more distant I am from him, the better it is for me.

Oh, I know myself. I can't fall in for a looser. I just have to drop him home and then he'll go his way and me mines
I explained myself the fifth time.

"Um..Yaah right! Where do you live by the way?" I asked reluctantly.

"Oh.. Don't worry 'bout that. I'll guide the way." He said with a broad smile.

I didn't want to indulge myself in anymore of his conversations so I simply continued with taking down notes. I ignored his eyes for the rest of the day mostly talking to Simon, Meriana and some other classmates.

He broke out a few conversations in the middle but I did my best to cut it short and end it quick. He was quite disappointed at this. I didn't feel nice for him for it wasn't his mistake. He was just innocently trying to converse with me..that's all. But I had to stay away from him. So he mostly chit chatted with Meriana and Simon.

Chloe came running in the class in the middle when there was no teacher. She ran and hugged Ryan almost climbing over me.

"I've got selected as the cheerleading captain Ryanie. I'm so happy. Thank God, you're not in any other school or I'd have to wait for the entire day so as to get home and inform you on phone. But now, you're just at a hand's reach..." Chloe announced and finally let go of him.

I really wanted to kick her ass. But why?

"Wow! Well done Chloe! Congrats. I need a treat." Ryan remarked gently pushing her away from him so as to get back his breath.

She had run into the class and had jumped over him like a frog. Who does that?

"Yaah..sure.. okay. I got to go...I need to tell Olivia. B bye." She went away almost jumping. She is a toad.

What has happened to me? Chloe is such a good friend of mines. Why I am feeling..feeling..maybe jealous of her. But for what? I can't let myself envy someone.

"She usually does that when she's happy.." Ryan spoke.

Why was he telling me this? I don't care what she does.

"Yaah..Right." I answered.

Ryan kept looking at me for a second and then turned away. What's up in his mind.

Anyways. Finally the bell rang. We all packed our bags and I had almost got up to leave when Ryan pulled my bag back and I fell back on the seat. I lost balance by this sudden pull and my upper body shifted leftwards so I was caught in his arms. My both hands were on his chest and his both hands on my shoulder. I was now l so close to him that I could feel his breath. The pepper mint smell filled my nose. I was staring in his umber black eyes or you can say I had drowned in those eyes.
