The Boy (across the classroom)

C h a p t e r - 9

I know where this conversation is going..

...I swear--

"So, explain to me what was the scene I saw earlier. All lovey dovey." She smirked at me.

I blushed to the core.

"Uhm..!! H-He was just helping me.. because it was raini--" She cut me off.

"No way!" She slammed the table. "Did you ask him for an umbrella?"

I shook my head nervously.

"He asked you first then?" Mom had looked like she was holding a big smile.

I replied with a nod.

"That probably means he likes you." 

EHHHHHH?!

"T-T-That isn't p-possible!" I stuttered, "Besides.. a girl like me.."

"Oh come on, don't be so modest my daughter." She raised my chin with a finger.

"I think you look pretty adorable." She smiled.

I jumped back in surprise.

"I-I don't! Never!" I shook my head, and I was blushing so much.

"You inherited your looks from me!" She pointed a spatula on me.

"Be thankful." She pouted.

Sigh... I do look a bit like my mom. But I got my personality from my dad.

"Come on, let's make him stay. Make lunch!" She pulled me.

"Mom!" I glared at her.

"You're sooo cute!" She pinched my cheeks as she laughed.

Geez!

~*~*~*~*~*~*

All set! Finally, done cooking.

That kinda took a while.

"Ah," The boy came out, and he had the towel on his shoulder. And his forehead was showing.

Wow.. it makes him even more handsome... 

...wait.. what am I saying?! Stupid me!

"Thank you for letting me use your shower." He smiled at us.

"No problem!" Mom happily smiled, and she winked at me.

Mom!

"I'll be heading home now." he said as he got his bag, "The rain became weaker."

badump

I bit my lip.

badump

He's going already?

badump

My heart kind of sank a little... I wonder.

"Why don't you stay here for lunch?" Mom suddenly said.

She was aware of how I felt.

"B-But.." He stuttered.

"The rain's gonna get weaker later on. Besides, you just finished bathing, didn't you?" She smiled.

"Ah... alright then. If you say so miss." He put down his bag.

"Call me mother!" I hit her in the shoulder when she said that.

"Ahaha, alright." The boy laughed, "If your daughter doesn't mind."

I nervously shook my head.

"Time to eat!"
