It's been two days since that hair tie incident happened. I was working with Cassy in the club room. Okay. I was working and Cassy was filing her nails. Well it's not that she's irresponsible but she said she wants to cosplay CASSY from Euphoria. So she needs to act like her.
I don't see the connection but it's fine I guess? Atleast she's not chewing gum 24/7. It would've been way annoying. I looked at her as I placed my own down. "Um Cassy, the dust is falling on the papers" I stated as I picked up one of the papers and dusted it.
She looked at me. "Ohhh" and continued. I pressed my lips together and continued. Guess I need to handle this? "Um by the way" I said as she hummed.
"Do you by any chance know when Xavier Black going to show up?" I asked. She started at me and thought for a second. There was an intense look in her eyes, as if she was deep in thoughts. Within a second she replied "He'll do soon"
"I hope the soon will come soon coz we have the fest coming" I muttered. "Sure" she replied instantly. Okay let me have a look at this guy's details. Now where did I keep those? Hmmmm. Definitely not my bag. Somewhere in the meeting room? Probably?
I picked up the papers and dusted them. Okay, I can definitely do this work there. I don't want to hand out dusty papers to the members.
I walked of the club room to the meeting hall. I skipped the seats and went straight up to the stage. I left the papers on the podium last time.
This is stage is as big as the drama club's stage. I walked up to the podium and there it was. Hmm. I looked through pages when suddenly I found a page full of Shakespeare's Sonet.
Ahh yes I remember. I wrote my favourite sonets by Shakespeare on this page long ago. Small parts. I looked around to see if anyone was there. Guess I can recite these...
I took the page and walked to the middle of the stage. Oh how much I love to recite. I just get way too nervous around people.
I stood with my legs crossed and hand waved in the air, as if I was about to dance. I held my head high and stretched my neck. Yeah, I love feeling the Victorian era. I closed my eyes and took a sharp breathe. I could feel the chills run down my spine, they were comforting.
I cleared my throat as I slowly started reciting each line with care.
"From fairest creature we desire increase"
"From fairest creatures we desire increase,"
I could feel someone breathing down my neck.
"That thereby beauty's rose might never die,"
It's the same person from that night. The same lavender scent.
"But as the riper should by time decease,"
My heart started skipping beats.
"His tender heir might bear his memory:"
My breathing hitched as I felt the slightest touch on my waist leaving me breathless.
"But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,"
The sparks only increased.
"Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,"
Slowly I felt under control, as if someone hypnotized me.
"Making a famine where abundance lies,"
But I only felt lighter. The feeling hitting my core slowly.
"Thyself th- "
I was cut by claps.
The feeling of bliss suddenly left. I was left with emptiness. The warmth no longer surrounded me. The feeling of sadness weighing my heart.
I slowly peeled open my eyes.
The saddness washed away when I saw Ivan standing at the end of the hall clapping. Embarrassment took over and I could feel my cheeks burn. I saw him slowly approach me as I realised I was still posing.
I tried to unhook my legs and tripped. Okay what a great impression. Ivan rushed towards me and got on the stage. He kneeled down and looked at me warily. "Are you alright?"
I opened my mouth but words didn't leave. I ended up turning my head to the other side and nodding. Fuck I'm just so red. "Let me help you" he said and got up.
He held my shoulders and pulled me ip in a swift motion. I ended up landing on his chest. "ouch" I muttered softly. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You okay?" He asked looking at me.
And I finally had the urge to look him in the eye. I raised my chin slightly and looked at him. His eyebrows scrunched up and I saw realisation hit his eyes.
"Prez?" He asked shocked. I nodded once again unable to speak. "Wow, it was you?" "Mhm" I hummed as I looked down once again feeling my cheeks flush.
"I thought it was some dancer from the drama club reciting her dance drama" he said squeezing my shoulders slightly.
"Oh" so he didn't recognise me before. I could've easily escape? Only if I didn't fall. Wow. Just great.
"You were reciting so delicately and the way you stood, it was just- like beautiful...." He said looking down at me.
Did Ivan Winston just compliment me? Oh goddess, I might faint. I think realisation hit him once again as he let go off my shoulders. Oh, were just so close. The thought of him holding my shoulders just now made me want to squeele.
He backed up and for the first time I looked at him properly. He ran his hand through the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
His pink cheeks were on display due to his clear ass skin. Like bruh, his skin is even better than mine. I have a half an hour skin care routine.
Hi pitch black hair fell on his forehead and his small eyes were almost hidden under his eyes. He looks way more asian than he acts.
His mother is Asian.
But wait. He blushed. Coz of me? Wowwww, how did my days change so suddenly? Ivan Winston is blushing coz of me!
I realised he was waiting for me to say something. "Um thankyou" I said shyly. "Your dress just added up to it" he said pointing at my dress.
I was wearing a long white dress with a off white thread work all over it. The dress ended above my ankles. It had beautiful bell sleeves and a a cute sweetheart neckline. The winner point was that it has a beautiful brown corset right below my chest.
I like my dresses vintage.
I blushed at his compliment and said a thankyou once again. "Um, so I got in here coz I was bored" he said walking behind me. "Oh...okay, uh-so what we- were you looking for?" I asked turning towards him.
He looked at me and smiled. "I found what I was looking for" and he winked. I looked to the other side. "Wh- what do you mean?" I asked feeling a bit confused. He was looking for me?
"I thought I might find anyone around here doing secret activities. You know this college is famous for conference hall practices" he said shrugging.
Oh. I was disappointed. "I see" I said.
"You wanna grab coffee sometime?" He asked out of the blue. "Huh?" I asked a bit surprised. "Coffee" he repeated.
"Why?" It left my lips before I could even think. He raised a brow. "Uh, because you are the Prez of the club and I'm new here. You can help me out!" He ended up getting excited.
Okay, so it isn't a date. "Sure, I guess" I said walking towards the podium to grab the papers. I think way highly of myself. I grabbed the paper and walked down the stage. He walked after me and we left the hall.
"See ya later Prez" he said winking as walked off. "You are faster than I thought huh?" I felt Elisa'a hand on my shoulder.
"Um no. I was just looking for papers and he happened to walk in. We had a...breif conversation" I explained. She didn't look like she was convinced. "Gurl you're blushing like a madwoman! Tell me what did you guys do in thereeeee!" She exaggerated and I looked away.
She turned my chin towards her face and yelled at my face. "Tell me! Did you guys kiss? Oh oh or did he just push you against the wall and kissed all the way down to your neck? Or did he just slide his hand up your dr-" "Stop! No no nothing like that happened please!" I said pushing her away and hiding my face.
"You sure?" She gave me an unconvincing look. "Yes! We just talked" I said. This girl can be a handful. Like we just met twice! And what is she even imagining? Him pushing me up against the w- okay no I'm not gonna imagine that.
She was about to throw questions at me when I spend walk down the hall.
That was way more embarrassing than falling down on my face in front of Ivan.
I walked out of the college as sparks hit my spine reminding me what happened when I was reciting the poem. I almost forgot about it.
