Islinda's sudden appearance and words, hit the nail over the head, as her dialogue hit Nolan's heart directly, making a stabbing pain inside his heart.
' I really can't keep up my cool pretense whenever Islinda is near. She really leaves me speechless. Here I'm trying and building my character in front of my love and she is degrading me in front of her. She really isn't a good influence. I hope she doesn't fill Rosy's head with her sh*t ' He cursed her inside his mind. Though no words were spoken, his eyes conveyed the exact message, that he was not happy about Islinda shaming him in front of Roselia.
However, he liked that latter part of Islinda's sentences, which told writing Roselia's name beside his. He is sure looking forward into the future to witness it happen. He would want nothing more to do that.
Both Islinda and Roselia broke into a fit of laughter, witnessing her friend, Islinda's and senior's cute bickering with each other. Both Nolan and Islinda sure never let go of any chance that came on their way to make other lose their face and this is one best example. They were like true siblings.
" Yeah, sure no one cares. But how do you plan to propose to this beauty? I can't see any flowers neither any ring here, " She spoke, as her eyes wandered around, as she started looking around him, dramatically. Yeah, Islinda is not a good influence on her.
Nolan to directed his gaze where ever her gaze moved, not even hiding his glare, noticing that her wandering eyes took a halt, he spoke further, " Oops~ look at u acting like a child. Who told rings and flowers are needed to propose someone? What matters is one's sincereness and promises to each other. What? Are you the type of girl who is so into those cliche sweet love novels. Then am I the hero and are you the heroine in our life story? Mature up, baby" He spoke, chuckling at her childish thoughts. However, he noted in his brain and really wanted to propose her just as she thought.
He even fell into his own imaginative world, where he and Roselia were the only ones and forgot about the present world. Islinda frowned heavily.
Islinda noticed that Nolan was absent minded and leaned towards his side, " You lovesick fool, get back to reality before everyone notices about you getting butterflies over a new freshman girl, " she warned him, her voice so low, only audible to him.
Roselia understood that these two old buddies were not only at the neck of each other, but also cares about each other. A smile crossed her lips as she sized her eyes at them. Infact, she was hit with a bit jealously, out of nowhere, looking at them, shaking her head vehemently, she continued to speak, " Of course I am sure the heroine here, but I doubt about, senior being the hero of my life story, " She replied back plainly.
A deep frown appeared on his face, as a deep crease formed on his forehead, he looked like a child being wronged right now, " Ouch~ that hurts. Didn't anyone teach you how to speak with others. With your sweet looks, your words would be expected to be honey-filled, but how come your words are more hurting as we continue? Aren't you feeling sorry for hurting my feelings? " He acted like a wronged child in front of her.
Roselia again gave into his childishness. He began to act cute, who can refuse such a cute and handsome boy. She isn't any exception to his cute attack and silently gave in, making it easy for him. Well, not to mention, Roselia does have a thing for handsome and beautiful faces. What teenager wouldn't have?
" Well, I thought senior likes my willful nature and likes me for who I am. Guess a that was all an act, hah~" She sighed in disappointment, clearly showing her true acting skills to me.
'Take that, you handsome brat. This is my trap, for trapping me with your charms.'
"Interesting~ , " He commented, leaned back into his chair, making himself comfortable, " So you like to speak in a roundabout manner? Nice, " He complimented her. He clearly knew, she wants to know his purpose of him visiting her.
But instead, he diverted her, " Since you were so curious to know about this gentleman, then I am willing to give you a chance. You can spend time with me and get to know me. See, that's how one actually finds about any person truly. Me telling about myself is not at all interesting, but you knowing about me yourself sure won't be boring, " He replied, directly hitting two birds with one shot.
This way, he could easily spend time with her without much reason and get close to her, while it even answers her question.
Roselia laughed at his brazen attitude, " So can I consider it as you making a move first? Inviting me to know about you, asking me to spend time with you, " She spoke, as she eyed him.
She would have believed that he is hitting her if there is any ounce of seriousness in his face, but from the start of their conversation to till now, she couldn't find that in him. He only, either maintained just smile, occasionally frowning in disapproval at her words. So she was left in confusion with his non syncing actions and words.
" You got all liberty to think as you wish. I respect rights... " He spotted half sentence out, while the other half sentence remained in his mouth, not coming out, " But I think I made it clear right from start. "
" Since our beloved senior is so passionate here, then where am I supposed to find you later?, " Roselia tried to stir away the direction of topic, finding a little awkward to continue the talk before.
However, what she didn't know is, her words can be interpreted in other way by him. " Oh, you surely are interested in me trying to know about my whereabouts. What? Can't you stay without me beside you now? Since it's like this then how about me re-taking first year along with you, " He asked, following it he raised an eye brow interrogatively.
" Well, is that possible? " Roselia was shook.
