I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU - EPISODE 3

“Chrysler, how do you like your new school”, my mum asked as we were eating dinner.

“It is okay mum”

“Just okay?”, she asked further.

“Yeah mum, what else do you want me to say”

“If you say so, just let me know if you don’t like the school, I won’t hesitate to change you from there”, she said cleaning her mouth and stood up.

“Good night Chrys and don’t go to bed late, you have school tomorrow”, my mum pecked my forehead.

“Good night mum”

Not long after my mum left, I stood up and packed the plates and went to my room.

I laid down to sleep but I couldn’t, I was thinking about all that happened today.

I remembered Justin’s face and I smiled unconsciously but then I remembered that his b**chy girlfriend Amanda and my smile disappeared.

“It’s a pity I didn’t get to meet you first”

“How can I even like him, he is a playboy. Someone who plays with girls and dumps them”, I reminded my inner self.

“I guess we’re not meant to be”, I muttered sadly and slowly drifted to sleep.

**Next Day*”

“Hey Steph”

“Yo Chrysler, where have you been”, she asked.

“I was in the library”

“Oh okay. Come let’s go to the garden, it’s quiet there”, Steph pulled my hand and dragged me out of the class.

Immediately I came out of the class, I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw it was Senior Justin.

“I’m,,so,, sorry”, I stuttered and he rolled his eyes.

“Next time watch where you are going”, he said and walked away.

Steph was already ahead of me when she noticed I was not beside her so she came back.

“Where did you go to now”, she snapped me out of my daze.

“Oh, uhm I was here”, I tried to smile but she already saw through me.

“Tell me the truth now”, she demanded.

“Okay fine. I bumped into Senior Justin”,

Immediately I finished saying that, Steph used her eyes to search my body like she was looking for something

“Why are you looking at me like that”

“Did he do anything to you”, she ignored my question.

“Like what”, I became confused.

“Did he touch you or anything”, she asked further.

“No, he only said I should watch where I’m going next time”, I smiled.

“You’re so lucky. This is the first time I’m hearing that Senior Justin did not punish someone that offended him”, she said.

“Whatever, can we go now”, I snapped and we left.

* * * * * *

“Damn, her b**bs are so soft and big”, Justin said to himself.

“Dude, why didn’t you punish that new girl for bumping into you”, White asked.

“Her name is Chrysler”, Charlie corrected again for the umpteenth time but White doesn’t care.

“Why should I punish her”,

“Because you don’t let your offenders go scotfree, I’m so surprised you let her go just like that. Or are you already falling for her”White teased and I glared at him.

“There was no reason to punish her and let this topic end here. I’m hungry, I’m going to the cafeteria, if you don’t mind”, I left the class.

“So grumpy”, Jayden scoffed and they followed him.

They walked down the hallway and Justin eyes were restless like they were searching for something.

His eyes finally landed in the garden and he was still searching for something until he found her.

This time, she was alone and she was playing with the flowers because her friend was not with her, it’s like she went somewhere.

I paused and started looking at her.

White, Jayden and Charlie noticed this and looked at each other, demanding for an answer but they didn’t have any.

“He’s been staring at her for about 5 minutes, I think we should bring him back to earth”, Jayden said.

“Hey Justin”, Jayden snapped me out of my thoughts

“You were really staring at that Chrysler girl. Are you sure you don’t like her”, Jayden asked and I scoffed.

“I was not looking at her, I was looking at something else”, I snapped.

“Mehn we f**king saw you”, White said

“I wasn’t staring at her and that is final”, I left them.

“Our playboy is already falling in love”, Charlie teased without Justin knowing or else.

* * * * * *

Unknown to Justin and his friends, Amanda was listening to their conversation and she balled her fists in anger.

“How dare that fool come from nowhere and snatch my boyfriend. It’s not going to happen, I must do something before it is too late”, I said and left the place.

On her way going, she met Stephanie walking today the garden and she stopped her.

“If you love your friend so much, you better warn her not to come close to Justin or else”, Amanda said chewing gum and she left.

“B**ch”, Steph muttered and continued walking to the garden.

“Chrysler, you won’t believe what just happened”, I told her

“What happened Steph”, she asked

“On my way here, Amanda stopped me and told me to warn you never to come near Senior Justin again”, I delivered the message.

“Is that all”, she said nonchalantly

“Chrysler, are you not worried that Amanda will hurt you. Please stay away from trouble I beg you”, I said in a pleading tone.

“I’ve heard you”

“Oh there you are Steph”, Christian, one of our classmates entered the garden.

“Christian what are you doing here”, Steph asked and that was when he noticed my presence.

“Oh Chrysler, hi” he smiled broadly.

“Hi”, I smiled briefly and looked away.

I felt his sharp intense gaze still on me and I will not lie I wasn’t okay with that.

All this while Steph was talking to him, I doubt he was listening, I bet he was staring at me the whole time.

“Hey, are you even listening to anything I’m saying”, Steph snapped her fingers across his face and he adjusted himself.

“Of course, I was listening”, he faked a smile and quickly glanced at me one more time.

“What a weird guy”, I thought

“Thanks Steph, I have to get going now”, he waved and glanced at me once again before leaving.

“Jeez, that guy is weird”, I said

“Everything is weird to you”, Steph rolled her eyes.

“Hmph, not everything though”, I scoffed.

Steph stomach grumbled so we had to go to the cafeteria.

When we got there, we saw Justin and his friends eating in one corner.

Steph placed her order and took to go and sit on one of the tables.

The cafeteria was quite silent because it wasn’t the time for lunch break so it was I, Steph with Justin and his friends that were in the cafeteria.

I felt someone’s eyes on me and I looked back

My eyes met with Justin’s eyes and he didn’t look away.

We were staring at ourselves for God knows how long.

He suddenly looked away because Charlie shook him

Steph looked at me with questioning eyes but I ignored it.

“You better eat your food and stop looking at me”, I told her looking somewhere else.

“Dude, what’s happening to you these days. Anytime you see that girl you loose focus. Tell us the truth, are you falling for her??”, White asked.

“I really don’t know but I don’t think I can fall in love with any girl”

“Then why are you always spacing out anytime you see her”, White asked.

“Probably because I want to have her”

“I really don’t think so if not you would have had her since”, Charlie chipped in.

“I’m just taking my time”

“I really think you’re falling for that girl but you just don’t wanna admit it”, White said.

“Can we just stop talking about Chrysler and don’t you think it’s too early to be falling for a new student”, Justin scoffed.

“Says the guy in love”, White teased earning a glare from Justin.

“Guys let’s eat fast or we’ll be late for Mrs Gregor’s class and you know how terrible she can be when she’s angry”, Jayden said.

“She looks like a goat when she frowns. Don’t you guys notice it”, White mocked.

“Yeah I thought I was the only one that sees that”, Charlie laughed.

All this while, Justin was silent. He was tempted to look at Chrysler but he was resisting it. When he couldn’t take it any longer, he looked at her for a while before looking away.

He stood up to leave the cafeteria without his friends.

“What’s up with him”, Chrysler thought.

“Justin, where are you going to man”, White shouted.

“When you guys are done, come to the class”, Justin said and left the cafeteria.

“Why is he so grumpy”, Jayden scoffed.

“Since his mum’s incident, he has always been like that, I can’t blame him though”, Charlie said.

“Yeah, I just hope he gets over it”, White said.

“Come on guys, let us leave”, Jayden said and they stood up and left the cafeteria.
