Love is a curse, love is pain and a burden, love is actually an illusion. Well all these are what I once thought until I finally found it.
"Chelsea?"
"Chelsea!, Chelsea snap out of it" Ripley said shaking me violently.
"Huh-Uh....I'm here, I'm here"
"What've you been thinking about, hold on, don't tell me you're drooling over Kevin again"Ripley said diverting her attention to Kevin.
""What😥!, noooo....., Of course not"
"...I mean he's cute and stunning, attractive and hot and..."
"...way out of your league....no offence"Ripley completed.
"Harsh, but true"
"Rie, is there a way you think I could match up to him?"
"Who?, Kevin? , Of course not. He's cold and cool and more of a baddie which is totally different from you cause you're more of a cutie. Plus he's actually kinda disgusted by girls, I wonder how his mom copes with him" Ripley said giving him a deathglare from behind.
"I'm not really wishing to be his girlfriend in as much as that would be the coolest thing ever, I just want to be noticed by him" I muttered.
"Oh....would you look at that, seems like the wish fairy decided to grant your wish this time...cause he's coming this way"Ripley said, all her attention focused on him.
"Could you quit glaring at him?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help it....he's actually really cute but with a bad attitude. Okay...bye girl, good luck. Meet you in a jiffy"Ripley said and was about to leave.
"Wait...Ripley, you can't leave me here"
"Uh....I actually can, and I'll prove it by doing just that"
"But..."
"Byeeee" Ripley said and dashed off.
"Argh...coward"I muttered.
BANG!, that was the sound I heard on my desk. I raised my head up to meet his gaze.His eyes were so fixed on me, I almost melted. Glad I sat, cause if I wasn't, totally sure my legs would've been all woobly waggly.ive got to break this silence, it's getting too awkward.
"Hey..."
"I'd like to meet your after school" Kevin interrupted.
Uh-Oh, my palms are gettin' all sweaty.
Um....why?" I asked with a cocked brow.
"You'll find out" he answered.
"O-Okay, sure" I answered. Not really sure why I did that.That wasn't so hard.
Wait, that was it, he talks toe for the first time since middle school just for this?. How unbelievable.
"Well that was quick, what happened?" Ripley asked popping out of the blues.
"How did you-"
"Spying" she answered.
"Uh-huh"
"So...."
"Oh...right,he'd like to meet me school over"
"Um....why?"
"That cookie,I've got no answer to" I answered.
"How come, didn't you bother asking?"
"Believe me, I did, buh he didn't seem to care"
"Well, it's twenty minutes to school over and Mr. Steel isn't present, so let's get you ready. I think I have some makeup in my bagpack"
"Uh...hell no, you know how much I hate make up"
"Yeah....cause you believe you're a natural-"
"-which I am" I deadpanned.
"I know, I know"Ripley said in surrender.
RING RING RING🔔
"School over" Ripley rejoced, stretching her arms like she just did a hard work
"Yay" I said sarcastically, raising my both hands to show my fake joy. I'm actually nervous deep down.
"So I guess it's time for your date-?"
"Of course I ...excuse me, date-?"
"Uh yeah, with Kevin"
"It's not a date, I mean, I've got no idea what he's gonna say"
Honestly, I can't help but wonder what's gonna come out from his sexy moth.' I love you' perhaps, in my dreams.
"So you're leaving now, right-?" I asked checking the time on my phone
"Um..yeah, anyways have a happy date...byeeee"
"It's not a---, she's gone"
THIRTY MINUTES LATER
"Strange, class is empty. Well that's unusual. Uh-Kevin isn't here yet. Was he trying to prank me when he told me to wait after school or was he....Ugh-, I'll just pack up and leave, it getting late.
"Did I keep you waiting?"
