Chapter 10 - I'LL TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT

" Oh my, did I forget to say that I have to go to the library, silly me. So catch up later, I guess "

Alessie said almost immediately standing up with her backpack. June watched amazed.

" We can go together "

She said also standing up but Alessie immediately objected.

" No, I still have to branch by the.. "

" The janitors closet? "

June said sarcastically and Alessie foolishly nodded 

" Yes. Wait,..."

She said turning to June angrily realizing what she said.

" June! "

" What, that serves you right for lying"

June said smirking causing Alessie to turn her hands into fists in a bid to control her anger.

" And what if I say I wasn't lying? "

" Uh, "

June said confused with Alessie's sudden mood change 

" Oh common, it was just a joke. "

She said immediately but Alessie smirked.

" I was also playing you June, did I caught you unaware, well my bad "

Alessie said almost innocently causing June to roll her eyes.

" It's not fair. You always have your way with words "

" Isn't that a compliment? "

Alessie asked smirking. Just then, Cathy walked in causing some to look in her direction.

"Hi Lawry "

She said blushing as she walked up to him.

" Hi "

Lawrence said not taking his eyes off his phone. 

" Didn't know the two jerks are close "

Alessie scoffed causing June to laugh. 

" You free this weekend? "

Cathy asked with a really squeaky voice all in a bid to get Lawrence's attention.

" have a shoot "

He said immediately as if irritated by the very sight of her.

" Really, too bad. I wanted you to play for us at the newbies party"

She said biting her lips. Lawrence ignored her and that made her pout.

" When can you be free? "

" Never"

Lawrence said and she chuckled nervously as some where looking at her sending strange looks but she was determined not to give up.

" I see. It's just... "

" If you have nothing else to say, I'm off "

He said standing up while Cathy tried to hold him.

" Be my date Lawrence "

She said staring deeply into his eyes. Alessie was shocked at that 

" You can't be serious"

" I am serious. It's been long since we hanged out together since you're always with the gang or having a shoot. You literally have no time for me"

She said with a pout. Lawrence tucked some strands of her blonde hair behind her ear.

" I just did "

He said and left.

" Lawry wait up! "

She said running after him.
