Badboy's Venom

chapter 6

MIKE'S POV

I bought Zoe flowers and chocolate to show her how sorry I am for not showing up yesterday. I think it will be better if I give her the chocolate only for now, not to complicate things. I'm more than ready to see her by break time today.

ZOE'S POV

Mike stood me up yesterday. Who does he think he is? I won't be shaken by a guy, no I refuse. That is why I went back to wearing my tracksuit today. As I am busy having a self-conflict within myself, Sammy on the other hand she's doing what she's best at which is gossiping with Linda. Linda is a classmate who happens to be close to Sammy, she's okay I like her. I hear giggles coming from the girls at the back.

"Friend compose yourself fast Mike's here." Sammy informs me. I dart my eyes around then to the door to see him standing there smiling at me. Oh no what am I going to do? It's too late to fix my hair, myself. Mike's looking directly at me and I am beginning to feel nervous. He's approaching my table where we are all seated. "Hi ladies, can I have a moment with Zoe?" Mike inquires for permission from my friends. Is Linda my friend? She spends time with Sammy sometimes and Sammy is my best friend I guess that make us all friends.

"Of course, Linda let us give them some privacy." They both stand up. Sammy gives Mike an eye wink and Mike looks at her with a smile plastered on his face. I wonder why they both just acted that way or is it because they attend house parties together? I ask and answer myself at that one. "Stop day-dreaming I'm right in front of you." Mike's voice brings me back to reality. "Oh gosh I'm so sorry." "I should be the one apologising for not showing up yesterday. "It's no big deal Mike." I lie. "It is to me, which is why I bought you a little gift."

All of a sudden I feel a soft spot for Mike. "Just close your eyes, I'll tell you to open in a few seconds." I do what I'm told to do. A few seconds later "You can open them now." "Oh wow! Mike you really didn't have to." "I can take it back if you don't want it." He jokes and I laugh. "You wouldn't, how did you know?" "How did you know?" Mike mimics my character in an amusing way. "That's actually my favorite chocolate, since I'm a Bournvile chocolate lover consider yourself forgiven."

"Well I'm glad to hear that Miss Jackson. I promise to visit here in your classroom whenever I'm not busy with school work." I take a look at his school bag. It looks so empty, empty for a Gr 12 learner. "I'd appreciate that buddy." I tell him. "Ncohhh... how cute are they." Someone said that and when I look around the classroom, my classmates are staring at us. They even have tears on their eyes.

"No no no... we aren't dating y'all, we're just friends." I inform them. Mike looks at me with worried eyes. "Was it neccessary to repeat the NO's? They heard you." He looks directly into my eyes. "Mike don't feel offended I was just caught off guard by their reaction." "Okay" he says emotionless. "Friends who give each other chocolate during school hours." Sammy talks loudly then she laughs.
