Chapter 12 - Yara

Third Person's Point of View

Sonia looked up from her notebook upon hearing someone laugh from beside her.

"Yara?" The girl asked confused.

She watched as Yara laughed to herself holding her phone to which Sonia decided to take a peek, but as she was about to move for forward to look at what's on the phone Yara noticed her and immediately pulled the phone away from Sonia's range of sight. Her actions caused the girl to tilt her head in confusion her green hues spark in curiosity and her habit of putting her loosely curled knuckled being layed on top of her chest kicking in.

"What are you laughing at Yara?" Sonia asked more softly than she usually do causing a smile to instantly form on Yara's lips.

"Its nothing. Just some stories I'm reading on an app." She then reach a hand out aiming for the girls blonde hair to give it a soft ruffle.

"Oh." Sonia's brief response laced the lack of attention she already had for what Yara is laughing on about. After receiving the friendly gesture of Yara she went back to her seat to take a look at her notebook one more time silently scribbling at her unfinished business that she once focused on about unaware of the glances coming from Dianne and Cole from their seat in front.

'Gosh! She's too obvious.' Dianne thought to herself as her gray orbs scan the happenings at the back of where Sonia and Yara is, a sigh playing towards her lips. 'How I pity Sonia and her obliviousness.'

'Even if she doesn't say it, it's pretty obvious.' Cole sigh bringing her face to her hands motioning a facepalm.

'She obviously like Sonia.' The two are unaware but its pretty obvious they share the same thought about it.

Sonia Daphne Jones Point of View

I watch as Cole and Dianne eat in silence their deafening actions creating an irritating vein to pop in me.

"So." I started, continuing to eat my lunch. "Why are we so quiet?"

"Pffft-" Rianne instantly went to cover her mouth to keep herself from bursting out in laughter which results a failure as when my lips curved upwards, the laughter she had been suppressing came abrupt the two of us being swallowed in a series of laughter. Soon enough Dianne and Cole followed in suit as Yara only looked at the four of us in confusion.

"But seriously?" Sonia stopped laughing and slowly glance at the two. "Why so quiet?"

Cole only shrugged as Dianne laughed. "I'm thinking about what happened during last weeks exams."

I suddenly remembered about the events last week and started snickering. "Oh, you mean the minus 5 points from ma'am Aimee cause you were seen cheating."

She only looked at me in disbelief, not knowing how I found out about it when in fact, I saw how miss Aimee marked her paper minus 5 with Caroline.

"What an unexpected development." I snickered. "Getting a minus on your favourite subject."

"Felix!" Yara's shouting caught my attention making me turn at the person she's calling. It was indeed Felix, he's a depressed guy from our class that was often bullied, the two of us got quite along well even though he is often deemed as weird.

"Hey Felix." I greeted as well, raising my hand to wave at him. He shook his head and waved back

"Hey." He stated, a dark smirk spreading his on lips. "Loli."

I only shook my head chuckling in process.  On the other hand, Yara stood up from beside me to approach Felix the two engaging in a conversation. As they talk, Felix's friend Kevin arrived and three started an easy flow of chat which I find very amusing.

'I guess the closeness of the three is already a threat.' I thought to myself, watching the three laughed on each other's joke. 'Well, since the girl is happy, I'll be happy for her sake then.'

I then shrugged turning my attention to the trio in front of me that was now busy with a conversation about some famous idols. I shook my head, listening to whatever news about the famous idols they're pertaining to as we finish our lunch together with Cole asking us to accompany her to the bathroom.

"Yara, you coming?" I asked before skipping out the door. Before I left, I saw her following behind me as we all converse about previous things in life.

"I know I'm not straight to begin with." Cole proclaimed, the four of us conversing about gender.

"Well, for me." I stated staring at the bathroom a couple of distance away from us. "I know I can't bring myself to like a girl. Admire, I think I can but like as in intimate, I don't think so."

The walk to the bathroom turns out to be a bit fun as we all change from one topic to another, getting to know our opinions and preferences better than before.

And eventually we still haven't let go of the topic till we its time to go home.

Math time, and I'm at my worst days, lack of sleep due to some project given by one of the teachers which cause my consciousness to part from my body as the teacher discuss in front.

I fold my arms on the desk burrying my face on it and closing my eyes. In truth, I wasn't really asleep, just shutting my eyes for a break. The discussion from the teacher can be heard and the scribble of the chalk on the board. Yet, I couldn't help but drift from it as sleep consume my state.

I was awoken by the feel of something heavy leaning on my head, my eyes fluttering open but since my head is still buried on my arms, I didn't move. My curiosity of knowing what is going on was enough to get me to stop myself from doing anything that might spoil it. Yet, all my anticipation turned to terror as I felt lips trailing its way down my exposed nape. The trailing stops as I immediately shift my body attempting to act as if I just woke up, the weight on my shoulders immediately loosen as I sat up straight eyeing my suspect acting as drowsy as possible.

But my surprise wasn't coated by my act as I come face to face with a smiling Yara.

"You're awake already?" She smiled, although panic was visible in her eyes she still manage to keep a facade. "Its lunch time already."

I sheepishly laughed at her statement rubbing a hand to my nape. "Y-yeah..." I stuttered. Awkwardly, she went out of the classroom claiming to buy herself lunch.

"What the hell was that..." I trailed off  eyeing the retreating figure of the  orange haired girl my hands not leaving the back of my neck.

"That wasn't really normal. Right?"
