Bab 13: Chapter 13
Diana's P. O. V
Michael stretched out his hand to me, I stared at it in a daze, he rolled his eyes and took my hand. I felt something warm course through my body when his palm touched mine.
He pulled me away from the locker room into the hallway. I could feel stares from all angles, and I could hear people talking.
"Stop looking so stiff"he said in a harsh tone, I steadied myself and continued to walk, but it was freakin hard to act cool and collected under these conditions.
My gaze caught June, she was talking to Ace, Michael led me to them both.
Both of them fist pumped, "shut the fuck up! You ditched Sam?"Ace asked staring at me from head to toe, assessing me...I think.
"Yeah, she was too much of a controlling bitch!"Michael said, "Am Ace, this is..."
"June"I said cutting him off, "we know each other"June said. "We got to get to the field, Coach said he'd make us do warmups for an hour if we're late"Ace said.
"Sure, I'll be there in five"Michael said and Ace left after Kissing June. June took her things from her locker and left to the patio. She had this look which spelt..ME. YOU. PATIO. NOW!
I smiled nervously at her, an indirect, AM COMING AND I PROMISE TO SHARE THE DETAILS
"You'll ride with me to my house after school to study"Michael said, and turned to leave but I held him back.
"I can't, am sorry"I said, he turned fully facing me, "do you not want to pass?"he asked. "No...it's just that, am...a girl..."he cut me off.
"Shocker..."he sarcastically said under his breath, deliberately to piss me off.
"I just...don't feel comfortable going over to a guy's house"I said.
"Oh? And why is that?"he asked, he really did want me to say it out, didn't he? I bit my lower lip, running the lines in my head over and over.
"I just don't...want to..."he cut me off.
"You're not making any sense now, you're going to have to speak up, or I'll tell Josie you don't want to study with me"He said.
"I don't want you taking advantage of me! Okay?!" I said almost yelling, he stared at me for moments, I licked my teeth in fear. To my surprise he started to laugh at me uncontrollably, my face reddened out of embarrassment. I tried to bury my face in my palm but he held both my hands against a locker.
"Just come over to my house and study"I said wanting this conversation to be over quickly. People were watching us from all angles.
"How do I know you won't try and seduce me while am there?"he asked me, my cheeks flushed.
"There! On your face! You just want me....I know you do! Shameless!"he said in a loud voice, I freed my hands and pushed him against the locker and covered his mouth with my hand.
My bag fell on the ground, I could feel the heat on my palm and I couldn't help but enjoy the softness of his lips, I broke into a small smile.
He stared at me oddly, I looked like I was his kidnapper.
I noticed some people taking photos and I quickly let go of him and picked up my bag.
"See! Am not safe alone with you in your house"he said.
I slapped my forehead and sighed, this boy was hopeless.
"Fine, we'll study after school in the patio good enough for you?"I asked.
"Fine, since that's the only other alternative, but you're buying my lunch"He said.
"What!"I said in disbelief, Pablo walked by, I forgot about him!
I quickly ran up to him, he kept on walking but I stood in front of him, preventing him from going any farther.
"Are you okay?"I asked, but he didn't reply right away. "Pab..."
"When did you and Michael start dating?"He asked out of the blue, his question kind of threw me off for a moment.
"Pablo don't listen to that daily dose nonsense, it's all false"I said, not wanting to lie to him.
"And Michael saying you're his to the whole school is a lie as well?"he asked harshly. I never knew he could get angry at someone.
"It's all an act"
"How so?"he asked, seeming slightly interested, and I explained everything to him, leaving out some things.
"Don't do it"he said, "what?"I asked, I didn't get what he meant by don't do it. Do what exactly? Pretend to date Michael?
"You know what I mean. Lying will only damage everything"he said.
"No one will get hurt by this, besides, he has no feelings for me and I hate him. It's just for show honestly"I said. He seemed unsettled, "for how long do you want to keep up this lie?"he asked me.
"For as long as we need to"I replied.
"This won't end well senorita, take it from me, Michael is not someone to be toyed with"he said and placed his hand on my shoulder.
I wanted to say, 'I know him, we're okay, everything will be alright...' but I couldn't. He was right, I really did know nothing about Michael at all.
"Look, am new to all this, I don't know anyone yet, and am still trying to fit in. Am bound to make some dumb choices, but..."
I stopped and looked at him. He did look cute with a bandage on his nose.
"Will you be there to catch me when I fall?"I asked him sincerely, he let a smile play on his lips then nodded.
"I can't win against you anyways, but take care of yourself and Michael, he won't let you know, but he's a softie"Pablo said.
I felt like his babysitter after hearing those words. Pablo took me in his hands and hugged me, then it hit me!
I pulled out of the hug and walked away, June was busy waiting for me at the patio!
*Excerpt from Mia and Xander*
"Your shirt"Mia said taking two steps forward. Xander stared at her expressionlessly.
"What?"
"Take off your shirt"she said not mumbling and sounding very confident.
"Mia, what you want will not last long between us. And it will be distinct from our professional life" Xander said bridging the Gap between them both.
"I..."
"You want me don't you?"he asked, "am only saying..."he said and let one of her sleeves fall down.
"There will be no strings attached"he emotionlessly said. She watched his lip movement, he grabbed her wrists and pushed her against his bedroom door, he locked the door to prevent anyone from coming in.
He brought his head down closer to her, taking in her scent....
A/N: Thanks for reading! Am thinking about making a separate story for Xander and Mia. One distinct from this one. But that's after am done with all my books.
What do you guys think?
Anyways...thanks for the love so far, I can't wait to write the next chapter!
Hint: It will be In Pablo's P. O. V. We'll get to see his thoughts on a certain someone and know his love interest....
