Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Oh there is an amazing ice-cream shop just behind the school he said out of nowhere.

Really? Well I'm suddenly craving some lets go. We walked for a few minutes and arrived at the ice cream shop. I ordered chocolate flavor and he also ordered the same

"I don't know why this feels like a date" Damien said and I glared at him for stating the obvious.

Oh right I've been meaning to ask, whats your full name? its Alicia parker Oh now I know.

Also are you single? why you suddenly interested in my love life?

I'm just curious he said but the look on his face was saying something else.

I have a boyfriend I lied and he looked disappointed.

Oh I didn't know you had one he said looking away. Hey I was just joking I said holding back my laughter.

Just then I saw Kelly walk in with a guy that looked oddly familiar

Kelly? Her head whipped to my side and she looked mortified to see me. Hi guys I…um…this is my…your what?

I can explain lily I swear I wanted to tell you earlier today but we didn't go home together.

Okay I'm all ears I said folding my arms. Just then the guy came and I was surprised. It was Zack!! Our classmate

Zack? Kelly you're with him? Yeah we started dating last week she said looking slightly embarrassed.

You're the one to talk what are you doing here sitting and having a romantic time with him she said pointing to Damien who was enjoying our argument.

Can we sit? Zack said loosening up the tension in the air. Oh sure we were just about to leave I said grabbing Damien hand.

Hey I haven't finished my ice cream he protested and I gave him a look that shuts him up.

Won't you clarify the situation first? If they think we are dating then we are!

I said almost yelling at him

Actually lily I've been meaning to tell you he said and I stopped abruptly.

Yeah what is it? I like you and I'll like for us to be more than friends.

Wait isn't this a bit early? I know it is but… I really like you, ever since I first saw you.

Give me some time to think about it I said leaving him standing there alone

Like I knew he would ask me out someday but isn't this too soon?

I don't even know if I like him back.

I went home feeling puzzled with Damien's confession and finally concluded there was no harm in dating him.

Our final exams is in few weeks so I we will only date for a short while.

I didn't go to school the next day for my own peace of mind and we will be high school graduates soon anyways

there isn't much to learn.

I spent the whole day watching tiktok and making desserts. Its my hobby. I made different types of pastries and put them in the fridge
