"Danae!" Shay shouted at me.
"What?" I shouted back.
"Come here! I will tell you something," she commanded.
My forehead creased at that. What could it be that 'something', huh? Not sure, I follow her.
"What is it?" I asked.
She didn't answer and just look at what she looking before I followed her here. I repeated again but she just hand signal me too look what she is looking. Curiousity hits me, I look too.
My mouth formed an O shape as I stared at the one she is looking. Its a boy! A handsome boy to be exactly. The boy is sitting under a tree with a book. I can't clearly see his face... but, I know that kind of looks.
Just by mere looking even not the entirely face... I know he is so handsome. My heart started to beat like a wild animal and now wants to go outside of my rib cage.
"That's mine! Danae!" Shay shouted at me and bring back my loss sanity.
"Yours? Do you know him?" I asked my cousin.
"Yes! And I don't know him," she paused not sure what she answered me. I smirked that.
"You don't know him and yet you said that she's yours?" I asked playfully wiggling my eyebrows.
I want to laugh at her reaction. Its epic!
"But I saw him first, so technically that he's mine! A-And he will notice me! Mind you!" She said with annoyance yet proving herself at the same time.
I can't contain my laughter... I burst it out.
"Hahaha! Your imagination is so wild, cuz." I said mockingly while laughing.
"Y-You! How dare you!" She said with angry and embarrassed. Then walked out.
Haist. My cousin can't be facetious. I laugh again more louder.
"Can't you tone down your voice?" Someone interrupted me from laughing.
I immediately look where that voice came from. And to my shock the boy we was talking earlier is the one who spoke at me.
"H-Huh?" I stuttered. Caught off guard.
"Don't be so noisy. You don't own this place." He said coldly.
I shivered at his voice. Why so manly? Hmm. I caught at his voice even its not his sweet tone. And my heart flutters too. Butterflies are now occupying my stomach... they are excited.
Danae! Get yourself a hold! I scolded myself. This is not a joke. As I told myself.
"Tss." He said then get back his book.
I get back to the reality. "I'm sorry. I didn't meant that way. I was just laughing at my cousi—"
"I don't care. Shut up." He hissed.
I suddenly get scared so I shutted myself. I stayed silent as I watch him reading his book. I know he is oblivious with my stares but he remained reading and do nothing. As the thought cross my mind. My shy self take over my emotions.
So, I lowered my head then sat on the chair nearby. I gasped. Couldn't believe I did that. I can't endure, so, I looked again and bit my lower lip as I stared again at his handsome face. No—a greek face.
Yes, he is a like in the greek mythologies goddess and goddesses. And this is my first time to see that kind of face in my entire existence. Like a unique piece sculptures that the great artist did. And that unique piece sculptures has a high price that I can't buy.
Like him, so pricy. That I can't have.
That idea turn my emotions ito sad. Like a robot I let it take over. I looked at the sky then see the clear blue sky. I can see birds too. I envy the birds, because they are free. They can fly high too like the paper planes I've made.
"You're beautiful when smiling."
My cheeks blushed then again my heart flutters. I looked at him and saw that he is blushing too. He looked away when he see me smiling. And I caught again his cheeks now more blushing. What a beautiful boy.
"You are handsome when blushing too." I teased.
Now, he looked at me again but with annoyance. My smile grew bigger as I witnessed his change of sudden of emotions. I laughed like a crazy mental girl. I can't contain it!
"W-Why are yo laughing at me?" He asked but stuttering.
I wiped my tears because of laughing. I let a loud sigh and cleared my throat. "None... its just that you are cute when blushing." I said playfully.
"Me? You, too." He answered back.
My eyes grew bigger as he replied back. I can't believe that he admitted it. I thought he would deny even it's obviously. He's cunning boy too, huh. He knows how to play especially my heart. And my heart is now on alert level. How can I protect it? How?
"Huh? I'm not blushing!" I denied. I don't want to admit because that will be my greatest embarrassed moments, for sure. And I can't handle that thought. And one of the reasons too. I am not brave like him. I'm a scared girl even he admitted.
"Really?" He snorted.
"Yes!" I exclaimed. Defensive mode is on now.
He chuckled. "Yeah. You're not."
My heart pounding so loudly now. And my cheeks heated as he gave up at our little misunderstanding. Really, Elli? Little misunderstanding? How come? Illusion? Imagination? Daydreaming?
"See? You are blushing. If you don't believe it... I can get a mirror to see yourself blushing profusely." He mocked at me.
My forehead creased. "No need!' I screamed shyly.
"Yes you need it!" He copied me.
My frustration rise up. Replacing my shyness. "I don't need it! And what if I'm blushing?! Huh! Is it a big deal?!"I can't control myself so I burst out.
I looked at his eyes when I spoke that words. And his eyes smiling how his lips quivered with annoying smile.
And after that I calmed down and once again my shyness comes out so I bowed down. I turn away and readying myself to walk out but I stopped when he speak.
"You are funny. I want to us to be friends."
