The Only Girl In The World

Chapter Sixteen

“Can you really talk and you’re not some kind of alien experiment? “ I heard a girl ask from behind me and I let out a sigh of annoyance.

“She can, now buzz off.” Becca said coming to my rescue and I gave her a small smile as the nosey girl walked away.

It’s been a week or so, the rumors eventually died down when they found something else to gossip about. Typical high school teenagers.

Still, random people kept trying to talk to me or get me to talk to them. Knowing I could talk didn’t change the fact that I didn’t want to, so like every other day, I ignored them. The only exception being Becca and Christian. The latter, I didn’t have much of a choice anyway.

“I will lose it if anyone else comes up to me.” I said shutting my locker.

“It’s the price you pay to be popular, especially with everyone thinking you and Christian are dating.” Becca chuckled.

“Don’t even get me started on that, I can’t count the amount of threats and death glares I’ve gotten from his fan girls.” I groaned.

“It’s not my fault how I’m so irresistible.” I heard Christian say as he came up to me slinging his hands around my shoulder.

“And he’s not helping matters, he’s just raising their suspicions even more.” I glared at him as I pushed him away.

“They already suspect so why bother hiding it.” He shrugged.

“Oh maybe because we aren’t actually dating!”

“Keep telling yourself that Gatita.” He winked.

Sighing, I gave up and turned to Becca who was watching us with amusement twinkling in her eyes.

“I don’t want to be late for class, see you later love birds!” She smirked before walking to class.

“I’ll get going too.” Christian said taking his books from his locker before he turned to me with a serious look on his face. “Seriously though, If anyone is bothering you tell me. They’ll have me to face.”

My heart warmed and I smiled. “I think I can handle on my own.”

He gave me a small smile before walking towards his class.

The bell rang from class and everyone rushed out of class. I took my time to pack my things up since I usually never go for lunch.

I spend my time in the library instead catching up on my novels. The cafeteria was usually too crowded and rowdy anyway.

Just as I walked out the classroom, I saw Christian waking towards me.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

“I was looking for you, you always disappear during lunch.”

“I was in the middle of doing that.”

“I’m right on time then. Let’s go.” He took my hand.

“Where are we going?” I rose my eyebrow.

“Cafeteria, for a lunch date.” He replied.

“No way.” I said attempting to pull my hand back.

“And to meet my friends too.” He said his hands not budging as he started pulling me towards the direction of the Cafeteria.

“I don’t want to meet them.” I argued.
