Unexpected

• Chapter Twenty-Two •

"Abel!"I say before huffing at him.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry!" He responds while laughing obviously meaning he's not truly sorry. "But you have to admit, you made it so easy for me to say that. I just couldn't help myself."

"Of course you couldn't ." I mutter back.

We both stay quiet for a minute before I remember something.

"Oh by the way, were you singing to me last night? Because I think I heard you but I was falling asleep so I'm not completely sure." I say whilst giving him a questioning look.

Abel's eyes widen a fraction for a second before he scratches the back of his head. "Err no. You were probably dreaming."

He is terrible at lying. And I thought I was bad.

"Abel."

He lets out a deep breath before sparing me a quick glance. "I didn't think you heard that." He mumbles quietly.

"Abel, you have a beautiful voice. Why wouldn't I want to hear it?"

"It's not something I like to advertise. Singing is more of a private hobby I suppose."

"Well I'm glad that you shared it with me. You should sing to me more often, I like it."

"Oh really? Well I can't deny a request from you now can I?" He says with a smile.

"Absolutely not. I'm way too irresistible." I respond back while flicking my hair sassily.

Abel chuckles at me and grabs my hand to hold once again.

I really do like this boy. He's the first person that has made me feel a certain type of way. And I know some people may say it has happened quick, but sometimes you just know.

When we arrive at school, Abel walks me to my form room despite my continuous protests. He claims that it extends our time together which is important for our relationship. Although, I'm not sure what relationship he's exactly talking about. He hasn't made anything clear or official yet and I'm not sure if that was his subtle way of suggesting something? Or maybe I'm just looking into it too much. I don't really know at this point but it really is getting hard to not act as if he's already my boyfriend. Like with all the hand holding and hugging and more kissing. Although, we do most of that already...

Abel says goodbye with a quick peck on my cheek before walking off. I'm not ashamed to say that I watch him walk away. That boy carries himself with such confidence and it shows; his hand in his pockets, his long strides, his head held high. It's a really attractive quality I must say. Plus, his butt looks so good in those blue jeans. Today, he's paired his blue ripped jeans with a well fitted black  long sleeve top and white trainers. And let me tell you, he wears it so well.

After ogling him for an extremely long time, I enter my form room which is located on the east side of the school. I head straight to my usual seat to find both Rani and Ana already talking in what looks like an intense conversation.

"What's up guys?" I ask as I look between the both of them.

"Rani's having problems with her parents. Again." Ana replies solemnly.

"Oh? What are they doing this time?" I ask.

Rani sighs heavily. "My parents are suddenly blaming me for my brothers current increase in attitude. I mean, Bodhi's 14 years old. He's gonna start to change and possibly act out so how is that my fault? They're saying my behaviour is influencing his and that I should be taking better care of him. They're the adults here not me. Sure, I should be a good role model but they can't automatically say that I'm the one who should mainly care for him. Every single time something happens, it's always my fault. So now, my curfew is apparently 8pm and my car is being confiscated as well as my phone. Let them try. They can't decide to play the role of a parent when they want to. It doesn't work like that." Rani rants angrily.
