Unexpected

• Chapter Thirty-Five •

I watch as he takes out the heart shaped origami that I made and unfolds it to reveal the words written on it.

I give him some time to read it before stepping out and heading straight towards him. I tap his back causing him to spin around. "Happy birthday Abel." I whisper softly.

Abel folds up the note before wrapping me up in a tight hug, lifting me off of the ground. "Thank you, baby. And thank you too everyone."

They all respond back to him before heading their separate ways. I tell Rani and Ana that I'll be in form soon and that I'll see the others later.

"I read your note Brown Eyes." Abel places his hands on my waist and stares down at me.

"It wasn't too cheesy was it?" I say feeling a bit shy.

"Not at all, I loved it. I'm also guessing this is the reason you didn't want me taking you to school?"

I nod my head while passing a small smile.

"Good, I was beginning to think you were blowing me off and I had done something wrong."

I shake my head with a laugh, "Is there something you've done that I should be worried about?"

Abel pulls me closer to him, "Is that a trick question? I'll end up saying something wrong which you'll get annoyed at and probably hit me for."

"No I won't you idiot." I respond with a laugh.

Instantly, the bell rings signalling the beginning of form. I remove myself from Abels hold and start heading in the correct direction.

"What, no birthday kiss?"

I turn around to find Abels arms spread open with a pouty look on his face. I blow him a kiss and giggle away. "That's all for now babe."

I quickly head to form where my nosey friends are awaiting.

As I enter the room, Rani whistles loudly, "Geez girl, you're looking good today."

I make my way to my seat and plant myself down, "You saw me five minutes ago Ran."

"Yes, but I didn't get a good look since you had me watching Abels locker. By the way, how did that go?"

"Oh, it was fine. He actually thought I had ditched him this morning because I was annoyed but obviously, I wasn't."

"What did he think of the gifts?" Ana asks.

"I haven't given them to him yet. I probably will at lunch."

For the rest of the time, we talk about Anas relationship with Raph and Ranis fling with Jaden. Turns out, she's actually started to gain feelings for him which is a good sign. With how chaotic her home life is, it would be nice for her to have someone who will comfort her like she needs. It's definitely different being reassured by the person you're dating rather than friends.

Of course, Ana and Raphael are still going strong; it's almost like nothing phases Raph meaning problems don't occur.

My lessons pass by slowly with my thoughts focused on Abel and whether or not he'll like the gifts I got him. How should I even give them to him? Do I take him somewhere or give it to him in front of everyone? Does it really matter? Of course it matters, I want today to be special for him in every way.

With that in mind, I head straight to the lesson Abel was in and wait for him outside. It's really convenient that my teacher let me out early today; it helps me make things nicer for my boyfriend.
