Chapter 14 - Complicated Crush (2) (1/2)

Ah, I gulped nervously. He saw it? It was embarrassing.

”Are all girls like that?” Tom sounded like he was thinking.

”Excuse me?”

”I said, are all girls like that? Shyly in the surface, but greedy inside. Her mouth says differently with what her heart wants.” Now he sounded serious and a little bit upset.

I was shivering and to be honest, I was scared a bit. ”N-not all of them, really... Please, don't think weird things.” I said, almost stammering.

He looked at me a while, then floated away, leaving me in confusion. I sighed. I thought there was something wrong with him. But, what was it?

I continued my step, still thinking what might happen to him that he acted strange like that. I drowned deep down in my thought, not realizing that I finally reached the second floor and that I didn't see where Tom went. My feet just stepped on the second floor when he appeared out of nowhere, so sudden that it startled me and made me almost fell back down the stairs.

”The point is… I don't want to see you walk together or anything with any boys again.” He said, half growling, and definitely serious. But I didn't really react to his words since I was busy collecting my soul that seemed to fly out from my body.

”Tom!” I screamed slightly. ”You scared me!” I glared at him.

”Oh, sorry.” He said innocently and with straight face as if he didn't care if I fell or no. I was pissed off, really!!

”No, nothing. Forget it.” He said as he floated away.

I stared at his back in confusion. He was really weird.

It was a fine day. A bit too hot, but still fine. I have been adapting with my new schedule as a college student very well and through time, I finally managed to have some friends -even when some of them were still sneering at me. However, I didn't know why but it seemed like most of the people in my circle were my seniors! Mostly, male seniors!

Thinking back, I probably knew the reason why those people still sneered at me. Who wouldn't when their crush being so close with a girl? But, boy, how wrong they were!

I had my own crush, too, and I was as desperate as you girls!

”Jane, do you want to go out with me?” Senior Dino stared at me with a hopeful eyes.

That successfully snapped me out of my daydreaming. Well, I should say I was surprised. I didn't know how to react. I liked Senior Rizal, but why was he the one who asked me out? Before I could react, he bowed deeply and sighed dejectedly. I looked at him in confusion.

”I wish I could say that easily to Mia.” He said slowly. ”Jane, please, help me...”
