We Are Just Friends...right?- Justin Degryse × OC

Chapter 5 -Normal School Days - Or Maybe Not

Intrise P.O.V

School is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boringggggggggggggggggggggg.

AND we have TeStS!! Can you believe that?? Within the first 2 weeks!! Why, oh my holy Apollo-wait, why is it Apollo? Uggh, I'm going crazy. Somehow, I forgot to mention that I have ADHD.

Justin has been coming over to help me and Maya with our work. It's tough, but we manage fine. And we don't even know why-how. Sorry, got carried away by the lyrics of Sabrina Carpenter's 'Why'. You know what? Nevermind.

Ever since that day, the other guys have been DESPERATELY trying to get me and Justin alone.

Now here's the thing. You may fantasize ALL DAY LONG about meeting your celebrity crush and becoming friends with them. But when you are ACTUALLY there, it feels a bit. . . . too. . . dreamlike. No, I still like him, and blush whenever our hands brush over each other and he supports me and that stuff. But it feels as if I'm still dreaming. And that I'm going to wake up and see that it was all a dream. Not the best feeling.

Maya ALWAYS tried to talk to me about it. I kept denying it, of course, but I think I'll have to break soon. Well, as long as any of them don't find out about my past. . . I'm fine with it.

Crystalina is still a prick. She's in ALL my classes. Even in my Counselling sessions with the other two grades!! Speaking of which, IT'S TIME FOR THE COUNSELLING CLASSES!!

I made it just in time for my class. Mr. Burton was just walking down the hallway from the other side. I made it inside the class before him. Entering, I saw Maya, Justin, Xavier and the rest in a huddle, sitting beside each other. Spotting me, Justin waved me over.

Blushing, I made my way over to him. On the way, Crystalina cleanly stuck out her elegant little feet in front of me. I noticed it too late and tripped over, just in front of Justin. I fell right into him. Literally. Luckily, he held his balance. It left me with my face buried in his chest, his hands holding me, and our bodies fitting just right, filling each other's gap perfectly.

Blushing, I looked up to see Justin's face smiling at me. I smiled back and mumbling a quick "Thanks" and a "Sorry", I stood up on my own and turned to face Crystallina. She was looking at me, shocked. I glared at her. Before I got to say anything, however, another voice beat me to it.

"And what, do you think you were doing, Crystalina?", Justin asked in a stone-cold tone. His glare could have scared the furies of hell away!!

"I-But.She-You-I-" She stammered.

"Yes? I believe I asked you something. Why did you trip Intrise here? I am sorry, Crystalina, but as a senior and a prefect, I cannot allow such behaviour from my juniors and fellow schoolmates to others. Detention for you after school. Intrise could have been really hurt. I hope you regret your actions."

"Why do you protect her? What do you see in her? What is it with her? She is nothing but an Indian scum! ( Glad to see improvement in her grammar ) She is has no talent, no speciality, no beauty, nothing!! She is not even your real friend!! She is just using the rest of you to get closer to Justin!! She is nothing but one of your fangirls who has a crush on you!! She's not even good enough for you!! She's not good enough for anyone of you!! She doesn't even belong here!! She is just a using, lying,manipulating, trust-breaking ungrateful little brat who goes around breaking others trust and hearts!! Why protect a dirty disgusting thing like her!!"
