Chapter 3
Liana esperanza p'o'v
"Okay class I have a meeting so class dismissed." said our oral teacher. Everyone cheered happily, they were just stunned by what sir said next. "Even if you don't have a class in my subject it doesn't mean you can go out and make noise. remember when I find out you did something silly I will definitely call your parents." sir warned. We all nodded in response.
"Oh, I'm leaving. Just read first or sleep while we teachers are in a meeting." he added before leaving. When sir left, my male classmates started to gather on one side.
"I'm sure they're watching erotic videos." I said weakly.
"Hm? You think so?" I was shocked when Theo appeared. It's going to kill me in shock.
"Yeah, that's how they are when they do something silly, they gather to one side." I said and looked at the crowd.
"Oh okay..I don't know why they're watching those kind of videos I mean it's Boring." he said making me look at him.
"Pft, you can talk like you're not watching." I said laughing.
"Eh? Who doesn't know how to watch porn?" When he said that, my female classmates who were quite close to us looked at the two of us. Because I was so shy, I quickly covered his mouth with my hand.
"Don't say that here!" I whispered to him. He couldn't speak, he just looked at me, looking confused by what I said. I felt ashamed when I realized what I had done. "A-ah I'm sorry I didn't mean to put my hand on your mouth." I said shyly.
"No it's okay.. it's my fault." he said with a smile. "Anyway I have a favor to ask if it's okay with you?" he asked shyly. I don't know what favor he will say but he looks shy.
"Oh sure. What is it?
"Um, can you accompany me around the whole school? I haven't memorized the twists and turns here yet." he said. That's his only favor. I thought he would borrow money from me. I don't have any money right now.
"Ah, is that all? Of course." My answer.
"Really?" he asked happily.
"Yup, you want it now." I said temptingly. I was afraid of sir's warning earlier, but maybe we won't be late for that and besides, all the teachers have a meeting. He quickly responded to what I said so we wasted no time and immediately left the classroom. When we came out, we were not the only students walking around. There are also a few and I think the others will be jowa.
"So this is the cafeteria." I said when we reached the cafeteria. "I know you know about the cafeteria because you ate here yesterday with me." I said. It's been three days since he entered this school. I accompanied him to eat here at the Cafeteria yesterday with Jia and CarlonYeah." was his short reply.
We continued walking. We also went to the library. When we went inside we read a little and talked after that we went around again. Theo and I had fun talking while walking. I explain to him what is there in this school. The next thing we went to was the music club, there was no one inside but we didn't go in because we were afraid we might break something so we decided to go to the garden. When we arrived we sat on a chair. The air is very cold and fresh hitting my skin. I am more comfortable now because somehow I have a companion watching the beautiful flowers and plants in the garden.
Ah liana?" he called and I turned to look at him Hmm? Nothing, I just want to call you by your name." he said smiling. It's a tingly feeling. He was smiling as if I was going to melt with his gaze that made my chest beat faster. I didn't want him to notice that I was thrilled so I turned my gaze back to the flowers. "It's beautiful isn't it?" he asked.
Yup, Rose is beautiful." I answered holding Rose on the side of the chair.
But liana is more beautiful than rose." when he said that, I stopped holding the flower. I looked like a statue that couldn't move. He's just joking, right? "In short you are more beautiful than all of these flowers." he added.
Omy..my heart calm down!
Are you making fun of me Theo?" I asked with a frown. I was thinking that maybe he was just joking with me and then I assumed What? I'm not." He answered immediately. "I'm just stating the truth. The first time I met you I fell in love with you." he said making my cheeks blush. This is not my first time someone called me beautiful but the heck?! why It's feels different when it comes from him!? "It's a good thing I'm your neighbor so I won't have any trouble talking to you," he said. I can't say anything my brain is blank.
"Ah..I Liana! Theo!"
Both Theo and I turned to the person who called us. Hey, thank you Carlo for coming! If not, I don't really know, I'll answer Kay Theo. He came to us, still catching his breath.
"Oh what happened to you?" I asked curiously. He couldn't answer right away because he was still panting. "Why are you running?" I asked again.
"H-ha.. I saw you earlier from the third floor so I ran to come here." he said still a little breathless. I took the bottle of water that was on my side. Good thing there's still some left over. This is the one we bought at Theo's Cafeteria.
"Here, drink some water first." I said and was about to give him the water but I couldn't because Theo held my hand. I looked at him in wonder. "What's wrong Theo?" I asked wonderingly. I felt something when I saw Theo's serious and emotionless face. Is there something wrong with what I did?..
"Here's my money. You can buy water." he said to Carlo. I was surprised by his promise even Carlo was surprised too. Why do I need to buy it when I already have it?
"No, it's okay Theo you don't need to give him money. I still have water left, this is the one to drink-
"It's not okay. You shouldn't let other people drink from your bottles." he said making me quiet. I looked at carlo's reaction. I don't know if I will laugh or cry because of shame or something.
"Ahh I agree. You have a point Theo." Now Carlo said laughing a little. For me, his laugh is very awkward. "Alright, I'll buy water first." he said and was about to walk away but he came back to take the money that Theo was giving earlier.
This Carlo has a really thick face..he really came back just to get the money..
"I'm sorry for Carlo's behavior. I'll pay with the money he took from you." I said when Carlo left.
"No need liana. I gave it on purpose." he said still looking at me seriously. Even though he's wearing glasses, I know he's looking at me differently now. "Why are you staring at me?" Now he asked wonderingly.
"Uh.. nothing. I just noticed that maybe your eyes are a bit blurry, that's why you're wearing glasses." He said excuse me. It's true that I noticed that, but as I remember when I first met him, he wasn't wearing his glasses.
"Oh this? Actually not really. I can still see what's beautiful and what's not beautiful even though I'm not wearing glasses." he said, still staring at my eyes. I don't know if what he said meant something or I was just assuming too much to think that he was referring to me. "Why? Doesn't it suit me?" He suddenly asked a question that made me shake my head.
No! it's not! To be honest you look cute with those eye glasses!
No! it's not! To be honest you look cute with those eye glasses!
"No, it's not like that. You have a cute nerd face." I answered, my cheeks a little red T-thanks? I didn't expect that you'll complement me." he said with a trace of shame on his face.
Wait did I make him blush?! Oh my gosh I think I'm falling no! This is not good. I only knew him one day so stop and come back to your sense liana!!
Oyy, I'm telling the truth, you look really cute, but you look like an intelligence person. And I'm sure there are many women who fall for you in the room." I said more. I don't want our conversation to be awkward, so I'm just saying something just to have a topic.
Really?" he asked. I immediately nodded. "Oh well, sadly I already have someone in my heart. And I think she doesn't know it." He said smiling sadly. For some unknown reason, it felt like something sharp had pierced my chest. It tingled and became heavy for some unknown reason.
Oh so he already has someone in his heart...pft so what?as if I care.. tsk am I jealous?! No I'm not.
It's like I'm talking to myself. If only Theo could read my mind, I'm sure he'd think I'm crazy How about you? Do you have someone in your heart?" when he asked that, I coughed in shock. I didn't think he would ask me that. Well, I haven't had a boyfriend or a big crush yet, so I can't say that I have a crush. "I mean even just admiring the person. Do you have any thoughts?" he added.
I swallowed saliva. I tried to think of the person I admire but I didn't expect him to enter my mind. oh...I
I do not know what to say. Why should I say that he came to my mind?! I'm a very poor woman if I say that and another one already likes someone else so what's the point if I say that, right?! What
Hey, I'm back!" Carlo shouted again in the distance. I breathed a sigh of relief because he finally arrived on time. This Carlo really fell from the sky.
Ohh Carlo!" I also started calling him and let's go together. I walked closer to Carlo and pretended to ask for the food he was holding. "You cheated! Why did you only pay for yourself?" I asked with a frown.
Why did you say I should buy you?" Carlo answered philosophically.
No matter what! You should buy us food too and you used Theo's money." I said with a sneer.
"Hmm should I buy you food instead?" Theo said behind me, my eyes almost widened in shock. I could feel his hot breath on my ear that raised my hair.
"Oh, that's right. Theo is going to buy it." Carlo said while eating the food he was holding. I looked at him evilly even though his face was so sloppy.
"Yeah, let's go to the cafeteria. I'll buy you everything you want." Theo said. I was about to leave but it was too late because he immediately grabbed my hand and walked towards the cafeteria.
"T-theo..you don't need-
"Don't worry about the money. It's on my treat. You can consider it as my thanks." He said to keep me quiet. When we got to the Cafeteria, as he said, he will buy me the food I want. At first I tried to refuse but I still didn't do anything.
"Thanks for this Theo. You don't have to do it." I said in gratitude.
"SUS, but he was very angry when I didn't buy him food." Carlo replied with a grin.
"Shut up can you? Who wouldn't be angry that you cheated the money that Theo gave you." I said annoyed with him.
"Oh why are you so angry with me? Theo is not angry." he said. I really want to hit Carlo but I just hold back.
"It's okay Liana. I'll treat you two." he said smiling. This Theo is really nice, I kept thinking if there is another guy like this..
"Hey, okay, I need to go, I remember I'll give jia her cell phone." Carlo said and put the trash on the table. "Thank you for the food Theo, I'm full next time I'll come back." He thanked Theo and let's go together.
"Huh? Hey, aren't you going to throw it in the trash?!" I yelled at him but he started walking away.
Really..
"I'll throw up then I'll use the bathroom so wait me here." said Theo and took the trash left by carlo on the table.
"Oh okay. I'll wait for you here." I answered back. He left immediately and went out of the cafeteria to go to Cr. As he said, I remained seated and waited for him. There weren't many people so the cafeteria was very quiet.
"Oh hey liana my Love!!"
I turned to the person who shouted my name. When I turned around, I couldn't stop frowning and frowning. Why now? Urgh I'm sure he will annoy me to death. "Why are you alone? Where's your three best friend huh?" he asked and sat next to me.
"It's not there." I replied rudely.
"Woah why are you so mean to me my love? Oh wait are you mad because I didn't talk to you for three days?" he asked with a grin.
Wow, this guy is really a summero.
"My gosh Noah aren't you ashamed? Stop messing around with me." I said at once.
"When did I mess with you? You know that I do it because I just want to be with you." he said while walking on my arm.
"Oh come on Noah! You making me goosebumps! And can you keep your hands to yourself?!" I said and removed his hand from my arm. I'm used to Noah's behavior but I'm not happy because he teases me.
Don't be like this liana. You don't miss me at all?" he asked curiously with a snort. He looks like he doesn't know what he's doing now, he thinks maybe I'm happy.
Yeah, I don't miss you at all so now leave me the hell alone." I said and we went together. I was about to leave the cafeteria when Noah grabbed my hand.
It's very rude to leave me here alone. Don't you think?" he said still holding my hand. I tried to remove his hand from me but I couldn't because he was stronger than me.
I swear to God Noah. I'm not joking anymore so please get your hands on me." I said firmly instead of removing his hand from me he managed to laugh.
What if I don't want too?" He asked with a smile that I knew he was teasing. "Can you just give me some of your time? I just want to talk to you." he said and stroked my hand. I didn't answer I tried to remove his hand from me Just give me some of your time"
I don't want to Noah. So let me go." I said But-
"She said she doesn't want to talk to you Theo suddenly snapped at the same time as removing Noah's hand from mine and pulling him closer. He stood in front of me and I was behind him as if hiding.
"Wtf? Who are you to butt in?" Noah asked Theo with a frown.
"Hm? and who are you to touch liana?" Theo asked back. I can see the seriousness on his face but I still see an emotion that I can't tell if it's anger or annoyance.
Damn there will be more trouble here...
