Guys, guys, guys.
Cereal_killer
Um…wth, Soph? We are literally sitting with you in the cafeteria.
Yes_you_suck
Way to socialize Soph.
I_pooped
Omg, listen to me, Will you?
And, Caleb stop stuffing your mouth like a pig.
Cereal_killer
Welp!
Stop glaring at me like a shark.
It’s food, gotta stuff all I can.
I_pooped
You’re disgusting. Shame on you, cal.
Yes_you_suck
Omg, Caleb, Liam is here, please behave decently.
Cereal_killer
What? Are you trying to change me now, because of liam?
Yes_you_suck
Wth? Where did that come from?
Chloe_awesome_scott
-_-
Thank you for making me feel so involved, guys.
I_pooped
Oh God, Chlo, no! Actually, this was about you!
Chloe_awesome_scott
I don’t know if I should feel touched or scared.
I_pooped
Um…feel blessed because you are about to see your prince_charming.
Chloe_awesome_scott
WHAT???
WHERE THE HELL IS HE?
I WILL GO AND-
Yes_you_suck
Omg, relax, tiger.
Cereal_killer
You guys, this is the mate pull talking.
Chloe_awesome_scott
Really now, Caleb?
Cereal_killer
Ouch, sorry, chlo, stop kicking me under the table.
I_pooped
Do you want to see him or not?
Chloe_awesome_scott
SHOW ME!
ATLEAST I WILL HAVE SOME ADVANTAGE OVER HIM.
I_pooped
Um…okay, do you see that guy in blue t-shirt near the counter?
Yes_you_suck
OMG! THAT’S LIAM, SOPH!
I_pooped
Oof, let me finish first.
Do you see the guy talking to Liam?
Chloe_awesome_scott
Uh…the guy picking his nose?
I_pooped
Ew…no! He is not talking to Liam! Move just a little further.
Chloe_awesome_scott
The guy who looks like he didn’t bother to run a comb through his hair?
Yes_you_suck
Oh gosh, Chloe! That’s called bed hair! It looks sexy on guys.
Chloe_awesome_scott
Yeah, whatever…
Cereal_killer
Chlo, so what do you think?! That’s your mate!
Chloe_awesome_scott
Stfu! Oh God, he was enough to annoy me with this ‘mate’ thing, now you guys don’t start with it too.
Yes_you_suck
You have to admit though he is hot.
Cereal_killer
Ew…can you girls stop talking like that about my own species, in front of me?
Chloe_awesome_scott
Yeah, cal is right, the only species I find hot or cute are animals.
Yes_you_suck
I can’t with you, Chloe…
I_pooped
Don’t you find those smoldering eyes, those kissable lips, those perfectly arched eyebrows, that carved jaw line and that heart melting smile, even a least bit attractive? Don’t tell me you feel nothing.
Chloe_awesome_scott
Well, I won’t lie. I do feel one thing: jealous.
His eyebrows are so shapely! And, why are his lips so beautifully colored?
THIS IS UNFAIR! I AM JEALOUS.
Yes_you_suck
…
Chloe_awesome_scott
Wait a second…what’s his name even?
Cereal_killer
Noah.
Chloe_awesome_scott
Noah what?
Cereal_killer
Dunno. Nobody knows. He is registered only as Noah.
Yes_you_suck
Omg, Chloe, I just realized that Noah is Liam’s best friend!
Chloe_awesome_scott
So…?
WAIT! YOU WERE SITTING NEXT TO LIAM TODAY, RIGHT?
Yes_you_suck
Uh, yes...
Chloe_awesome_scott
DID HE BY ANY CHANCE HAVE A PEEK AT THE TEXT I SENT?
Yes_you_suck
Okay…this is weird…idk, how you know this, but, yes he did…my phone was kept on the desk and his eyes fell on the ‘five-year old who flirts with strangers for kicks and giggles’ message.
Yes_you_suck
Btw, I gotta thank you for that. It made him laugh and he even talked to me! He said we were too funny.
Chloe_awesome_scott
OH MY GOD! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!
NOAH FORWARDED ME MY OWN TEXT TO CREEP ME OUT!
Cereal_killer
Wait a sec, Liam might have told him about the text and he might have sent it to you, but, there’s no way he knew it was you…
Chloe_awesome_scott
You are right, and that’s why I gotta run.
He knows my name and Liam knows Mia, I am in deep crap if they spot me here and put two and two together.
BYE!
Cereal_killer
Hey, Chloe! Does that mean, I can have your lunch?
I_pooped
Oh god, cal, YOU PIG, you ate all my pizza!
Cereal_killer
Hey! Not my fault you were busy texting.
I rolled my eyes, grabbed my lunch and made a run for it. I had no idea why I was hiding from this Noah guy…but, something told me that I should. Who knew, how he would react if he found out that I was the one who texted him. Or who knew, what he was actually hiding? Whatever it was…I was not ready to expose myself or my friends just yet.
I was sitting beside Sophia, in my art class, feeling half sleepy and half tired after the whole day of school, when my phone vibrated with a message. It was from…Sophia. I turned and shot her a look, she just rolled her eyes.
I_pooped
CHLOE!
Chloe_awesome_scott
Really, Soph? is this going to be like your new thing now?
I_pooped
Not really, this is just for emergency situations like now.
Just look to your right.
I shook my head and did as I was told, and I almost jumped in fright. Noah freaking whoever-he-was, was standing there, expertly using his paint brush on the canvas.
I turned to Sophia with wide eyes, “what is he doing here?”
Sophia gestured for me to stay quiet and to check my phone.
I_pooped
He has been in our art class since forever.
Chloe_awesome_scott
What do you mean, forever? I saw him only today.
I_pooped
That’s because you are always too busy in your own world.
But, so is he…don’t worry, I think he hasn’t noticed you ever. You easily blend in with the crowd.
Chloe_awesome_scott
Thanks for the ego boost, girlfriend.
Anytime;)
Btw, he joined school in the middle of the semester and he has been the talk of the school ever since.
How come you are oblivious to all this?
Chloe_awesome_scott
…I dunno.
Before i could read Sophia’s reply, a new text message from the_real_prince_charming popped up. My breath hitched and I slowly turned my head in his direction. He was relaxingly settled back in his chair, glancing at his phone in mild amusement.
I blew out a breath, then, glanced at my art teacher who was peacefully snoring. Shaking my head again, I opened the message.
The_real_prince_charming
HEY, MATE, I JUST REALISED THAT I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU EXCEPT YOUR NAME.
Chloe_awesome_scott
WHY, YOUR HIGHNESS NOAH, ARE YOU CURIOUS?
There was no immediate reply and I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. He was frowning at the screen. Ha! Take that, your highness!
The_real_prince_charming
YOUR HIGHNESS?
It was my turn to frown. That’s what he was worried about? I thought he was shocked that I knew his name finally.
Chloe_awesome_scott
UM…YEAH…? IT WAS JUST A NICKNAME WHICH BTW, IS COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.
I guess I Will settle for annoying SOB.
I heard a deep chuckle and my head whipped in Noah’s direction. He was shaking his head at the screen in amusement. My lips formed into a small smile, involuntarily.
The_real_prince_charming
you know my name now, I don’t know how. It’s only fair, you tell me a few things about yourself.
Chloe_awesome_scott
Uh…no can do.
The_real_prince_charming
pout
Chloe_awesome_scott
Nuh-uh
The_real_prince_charming
Please?
Chloe_awesome_scott
Wth? THIS KITTY IS SO CUTE!
The_real_prince_charming
Ahem ahem. So, Will you tell this cute kitty a few things?
Chloe_awesome_scott
-_-
I may be a sucker for animals, but, it’s still you behind the screen, you annoying SOB.
The_real_prince_charming
Hmm…so you are a sucker for animals?
Chloe_awesome_scott
GODDAMNIT! WHY DID I TELL YOU THAT!?
The_real_prince_charming
BECAUSE YOU ARE SECRETLY A SUCKER FOR ME TOO, BABY.
Chloe_awesome_scott
EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW…FRICK OFF!
The_real_prince_charming
OH GLADLY, WILL YOU JOIN ME?
Chloe_awesome_scott
I AM OUTTA HERE.
BYE, SOB!
The_real_prince_charming
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA
This ‘hahahahahahahahahahahahhaha’ was not just on my screen. It chimed from my right too, because Noah was laughing out loud, enjoying himself at my expense. I exhaled a breath, trying to contain my smile, somehow wanting to join him in his laughter.
A/N: Question: How are you guys liking this book so far?
Also, I may slack with the updates now, because exams are near. But, still, writing is like breathing to me, as cliché as it sounds, I won’t be able to concentrate on my studies if I don’t write even at least one word in a day. don’t forget to vote, comment, follow if you liked!
Now, here comes the crush story:
So, as usual, I was with my bestie in the canteen. Creep, who had got beach-slapped earlier, was maintaining his distance, and sitting a bit far away from us thankfully. Now, enters my crush (let’s call him cc from now on, cc stands for constant crush). Cc was with his best friend. both of them casually make their way towards us and sit with us.
Cc thanks me for notes and everything. Then, we fell into a conversation about academics and exams. Now, in enters my crush no 2.
My bestie starts squealing, “omg, crystal! Your crush is here!”
Now, one thing about my bestie: she doesn’t know about my crush on cc. thank god for that, otherwise I would have died a long time ago. But, this situation was even worse.
I flinched when I saw cc’s face. It was um…kinda unreadable. He looked at unease too. My bestie kept talking about my crush no 2.
Finally, cc smiled, “have you ever talked to him?”
Before I could reply, my bestie jumped in, “now, crystal is crushing on at least five guys in this school. If she starts talking to everyone, it Will scare them away,”
Cc and his best friend were amused to no extent and started laughing out loud. I glared at my bestie, who was still oblivious what she had done.
“Tell me you are joking,” cc’s best friend choked out.
“Who would have thought you were crushing on five guys, crystal?” my crush said.
“Um…it’s kinda past now,” I said jokingly, “it was only for fun,”
“Oh God, but, seriously?” he asked in amusement.
I somehow, dissolved this conversation, in joke and changed the topic.
Later, I received a text from cc: “it’s true that you learn something new everyday. I am still not over that multiple crush thing. My sister thinks I have gone crazy from all the laughing I have been doing.’
Me: “oh God, it really was a joke. My bestie has no control over her mouth. She just says the most random and embarrassing things.”
Cc: ‘aight. I feel ya. My buddy does the same. However, can I ask you a question?”
Me: shoot
Cc: who are the guys you are crushing on?
Me: (groaning internally) just let it go. Oof, I am over all those stupid crushes.
Cc: ok, ok, lmao, if you say so.
Then, we had a normal conversation about random things, our teachers, etc.
I still feel embarrassed, even typing this. if only cc knew that he is my ‘constant crush’ and no one can take his place.
