47 Silent dilemmas (1/2)

College next day

It was among the very rare time when Seb, Erica and Iven could collect time together, free.

Seb had her practices, but for some reason she decided not to attend.

It wasn't like it was helping, since she did nothing in the leisure but lazed on.

An totally awkward situation for Erica to face.

Usually Seb and Iven would give anything away to spare time together, but hardly any one of them were saying a word!

Something seemed really off.

Iven was continuously fidgeting.

Seb on the other hand, was lost in a book...as it seemed so. She was actually drowsing with half closed eyes.

Iven was occasionally stealing glances at Seb, clearly wanting some conversation...but without any result. Once in a while Erica even noticed Seb's eyeballs moving at him, but still no livelihood.

She had no idea what actually happened to make them to be like this way...she was out off their range. She herself was turning in to a foul mood.

She tried to approach both of them once, but the response was too brief to continue further.

The whole day continued with such pointless ignorance.

Mostly from Seb's side. She was totally pretending to treat Iven like an invisible being.

When finally the day was up, Iven gave up playing pretend.

Seb and Erica were just on the way to exit from their lecture room, and found him waiting. As soon he caught sight of Seb, he paced up faster towards her,” Belle I....”

”Shoot! I'm late”, and with one such childish statement, Seb cut him off.

”Only 2 minutes”, came the useless plead.

”Got to go”, and the piercing eyes left with a silent warning casually.

Iven was left embarrassed with mouth open in front of a more bewildered Erica.

She dare not pry but she let him an advice,”When she's mad, no way in hell you can prove that you're right. She'll give you no chance. The only way is to apologize”.

”That's so obvious when it's her”, Iven sighed and looked at Erica with pitiful eyes.

Erica had nothing more to say,”.....So...want to grab lunch?”

Iven dropped his shoulders,”Sure!”, because he knew that he had blown his chance for the day.

.........

Iven wasn't such type, but he was sending Seb texts every half hour.

She was turning him into someone he can't recognize himself.

She must be taking small breaks, but of course! She have no time to check them or reply back. How much has she held onto the incident from before?? Was it that bad??

Iven indeed overdid it, but she has no importance of safety herself.

Iason is unpredictable and invulnerable.

Seb nearly lost her eye.

They all were beaten up to their defend.

Iason will measure no extent to achieve on what he has his mind set to, by any possible or impossible means.

Seb is strong and self-dependent, and proved it that she can protect herself by strength or wits, but Iven has no peace of mind rested. He couldn't bear anyone touching the person who earned his care so deeply. Not more, if it is Iason.

Also not specially, because it's Seb!

She's not mature enough in terms of aspects, and if anything were to happen to her due to Iven's negligence, he won't be able to make it through. Not after all the time Seb showed him, a whole new view.....her point of view!

Is it so wrong to be protective of his women???

Iven so wished to talk to her about it, but only if a chance offered.

He's literally scavenging for a moment, but no use.

Seb has completely turned his good will against him, making him look like the villain. Thus, he ended up losing his temper earlier and forcing himself on her, out of usual hot hotheadedness.

And lastly, which ended up Seb being mad.

She doesn't approve of any one being so obsessed over her.

It's not her fault though.

She haven't learnt yet to rely on others with a care. That's why she can't put up with such attitude, a die hard habit! Her special occasions are rarely offered, else she never allows anyone to interfere.

Seb didn't have any practice that day.

She was simply searching excuses to avoid Iven.

She spent her time in the library, aware of all the texts sent to her.

She read one, and put the phone on silent, since more were incoming.

It was such a bother, that she even skipped lunch.

Her mind was still stuck to the incident from before. Iven is unbelievable!!!

When he had yelled that Seb was his, it really got to Seb.

She never thought that things would go this worse which will bring Iven out of his old character. He was one step away from being the same person when they first had their fateful encounter.

And he still had the guts to plead her not to bring the old him.

He did it himself.....but Seb was blamed!!!

Seb slammed a book angrily at the thought, attracting everyone's attention in the room.

She threw another angry stare at each one of them, and immediately they concentrated back in their books.

Seb's first suspension for 2 weeks for beating up bullies in the library, is still a legendary incident among the nerds in the library.

Suddenly an announcement was heard,”Please pay attention students,”said a rough voice,”The annual football girls tournament for Sunday is going to be from 3 pm onwards. Spectators are invited to cheer the participants. Thank you”.

Iven had heard it too, this girl has gotten himself in to god knows what else. She is bound to play in it, he bet.

”One more thing, players are immediately to report to the field”,.

Iven didn't waste another second.

He threw his bag over and dashed off.

He's gonna catch Seb on the act, this time she can't escape anyhow.

He was already at the field outskirts, Seb wasn't there yet.

Few hookey players and couples, enjoying private time together.

The players were gathered at the field corner.

Iven's eyes searched for Seb. It wasn't much difficult to spot her useless effort to try to hide. He can find her out anywhere. She was leaning on to the pole, listening to instructions, pretty distracted. Their Coach seemed concerned about her since she was the main striker, but she wasn't.

Iven's eyes were fixed at her, any time now she can turn her face towards him.

Indeed, did!!!
