Badboy's Venom

chapter 8

ZOE'S POV

After Mike's call I'm worried because he sounded so down as if there's something bothering him. What if he wants to end our friendship? I have to find out what's bothering him. I decide to visit him this time around during break time. I enter inside his classroom and dart my eyes around, he's not here. As I step out of his classroom, I bump into him at the doorway.

"We need to talk Zoe." He whispers "It's good to see you too Mike." "Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind." Mike says as he's looking into my eyes. Something he usually does when he's talking to me. "I know that's why I'm here you sounded so down yesterday." I tell him while still worried. "So you care about me good to know and I was planning on coming to see you in a few minutes." "What a coincidence." I joke and he laughs.

"You know I should be the one checking on you always not the other way round." "All of that doesn't matter Mike. I'm here now, so let's talk." I tell him. He grabs both my hands and continues looking straight into my eyes. I'm shocked by his actions. "Zoe I like you." Mike mumbles. "I like you too." I respond to him. "Zoe you don't get it, I want us to be more than friends." He says with confidence. "You want us to date?" Of course that's what he means. I'm just shocked.

"Something like that." He answers. "I like you too Mike but as for dating I'm not sure about it." I admit honestly. "Okay, I'll be waiting for you whenever you decide to change your mind." He sounds so serious now. I've never heard him talk like that before. "Okay" I simply reply with a huge grin on my face with our eyes locked into each other's gaze while holding hands. There's chemistry.

"Romeo and Juliet." Some chick with purple hair says that while passing by us at the doorway. I don't know who she is; I think she is Mike's classmate. "Shut up Natasha." Mike commands her and she rolls her eyes. "So you're dating now?" Natasha asks in an unkind way. "It's none of your business." Mike replies to her. She walks away and shakes her ass. The skirt that she's wearing is too short for school, she's wearing makeup too. This Natasha girl doesn't look more of a schoolgirl.  I feel jealousy as she walks away and Mike's eyes are on her. I admit she has a great body as a model, she's tall than I and she is beautiful too.

"Earth to Zoe." Mike waves his hand on my face. "So she's your friend too?" I ask. I had to ask I'm curious to know. "Kind of." He replies emotionless. "Don't mind her, let's get back to us." He says. "Okay" I reply. "I've got one favour to ask from you though." "I'm listening." "We haven't spent that much time together you know. So I've been thinking how about we meet tomorrow just you and me somewhere else besides at school." As he request I'm really nervous and unsure of what to say.

"I really don't know, I mean it's a Friday tomorrow and we have school to attend. After school there isn't that much time available for us, mom wouldn't let me to be out late." I inform Mike. I don't know how he might take this. "That's the main point, it's a Friday. We can both skip school from morning we will be together till day time." He's even confident. I'm shocked that bunking school to him is no big deal. "I've never bunked school before." I confess.

"There's a first time for everything, you'll have a good time I promise." "Okay fine we'll meet." I just let those words out of my mouth. Unbelievable! "Great, we will discuss through the phone for more details." "Alright" I can't say much. So I leave for class.
