Janna's POV:
I just returned from school. Ugh! I'm so tired. I just want to sleep and rest all day. My feet really hurts. But somehow, it feels so unreal. John really came back from America. He's not what I am expecting to be but anyway, I'm glad that he's alright. But the question now is, if our friendship will return just like it used to be. John changed so much and I don't know if he still treats us as his friends. Sigh...
I closed my eyes when my mother shouted.
"Janna! Someone is looking for you!"
What? Who is looking for me at this time? Is it Sophia? What does she need from me?
"I'm coming down now!"
I went out of the house and opened the gate. I was surprised when I saw an unexpected guest.
"Eric?!"
Eric's POV:
(30 minutes ago)
I just finished having a basketball practice with my co-members in the Basketball club. I am getting ready to go home and is currently walking towards the gymnasium when I saw Janna together with two boys.
I know that she's friends with the two girls whose always with her but who are those two guys? It's the first I saw her together with them. Are they her admirers or just simple friends?
I followed them secretly since I am too curious about her relationship with those two. After a few minutes they're walking together, the other guy went inside the car that parked in front of them.
Now, it's just the two of them... Why are they so close to each other? Do they have 'that' kind of relationship?
I felt a bit of jealousy when I saw the two of them talking and laughing so comfortably. It's as if they are really close to each other.
Because of my curiosity, I followed them continuously until we arrived at one of the the most famous subdivision here in our city - The Royale Subdivision.
I saw the nerdy guy and Janna stopped by a house. Janna went inside and the guy walked away so it's probably Janna's house.
Wow, what a gentleman he is... He even walked Janna home. It really makes me wonder what's going on between them.
"Hmmm... So this is where Janna lives, huh." I whispered to myself.
I am supposed to go home already when a thought suddenly came to my mind...
What if that guy has a feelings to Janna and intends to confess soon? Or worse, what if he and Janna were boyfriend and girlfriend already? No, no, no, stop thinking about negative thoughts. Based on Janna's personality, I don't think she already has a boyfriend. And another thing, if ever she really has a boyfriend, the whole school will know about it first as she's one of the respected 'Goddesses' in our school.
I should make use of this opportunity to confess and make her look at my way!
My feet automatically walked towards her house and I didn't notice that I also pushed the doorbell button.
The gate was opened by an adult-looking version of Janna. This must be her mother...
"Ummm... Good day, Ma'am! Can I talk to Janna?"
"Oh, a friend of hers? Come on in and have a talk with her inside."
"No, Ma'am. Our conversation won't take too long so you don't need to bother yourself in having me inside your humble house. I'm fine waiting for her here."
"Oh my, are you sure?"
"Yes, Ma'am!"
"Then, wait here for a bit. I'll call for my daughter now."
"Thank you, Ma'am."
After a short while, Janna opened the gate and my surroundings stopped. Everything became blurred except for her beautiful face.
Janna's POV:
"Eric?! You're Eric Sembrano, right? What are you doing here? No, how did you even know where my house is?" I asked him wondering how did he even get his foot in this subdivision.
"U-u-uhm... I-I-I..." He said while stuttering.
Am I seeing this right? He's acting awkwardly. He's even flubbing his words.
"Huh? Are you ok?"
"I-I... I just wanted to ask who is the guy you're with earlier?"
"What? Do you mean Kristoffer? What about him? Did he do something bad to you? If he did something to offend you, I'll be the one to apologize on his behalf. Please don't hurt him." I pleaded for his mercy.
"What? Wh-why would I hurt him?" He asked me with surprised eyes.
"Umm... It's because you're a delinquent?"
"Yeah, I used to. But not anymore... More importantly, he didn't do anything wrong."
"So, if he didn't do anything to you, what is your business here, then?"
"I... I like you Janna. Ever since I first saw you on the stage during the Entrance Ceremony. I like your bravery and I like your confidence. I like you just the way you smile and care for other people. Whenever I see you, my heart doesn't seem to calm down and I feel jealousy when you're with other guys just like today. I want to know if you're willing to give me a chance."
"W-w-w-wait... What?! Hey are you kidding me?!"
"No, I'm not! I'm being serious right now."
Am I dreaming? The most famous male student in our school actually confessed to me?! No, this is not true... I'm probably dreaming...
I slapped my face very hard hoping that this is just a simple dream... But it's not!! Ouch, it hurts...
"Are you ok? Why did you do that?!"
"No particular reason... More importantly, you should go to the hospital right now. Maybe you're hallucinating. You're having hallucinations that you like me. Or do you want perhaps some water to make yourself come round?"
Wow... This nervousness that I'm feeling right now is making me become talkative than usual.
"I don't feel unwell, Janna! I'm serious!" I was shocked when he suddenly held my hands.
"B-but..."
"I am not forcing you nor rushing you to give me an answer now. I just wanted you to know about my feelings because I want it to get off of my chest. I know that in your eyes, I'm just a scary person that always picks a fight with people but I want you to start seeing me in a new light. I'm starting to change and I already started to distant myself from my friends who made me the way I used to be. But please, give me a chance before you reject me. That's all that I wanted to say. I'll go now." He let go of my hands and scurried away.
"...."
What just happened?! Today is really the craziest day of my life!
