I FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU - EPISODE 6

One Week Later

White stopped being jovial since the incident that happened between him and Stephanie.

Anytime they see each other, she looks away immediately and that has been driving him crazy. He no longer concentrates in class.

The project Mrs Gregor gave them, it was his partner that did most of the work because he was too depressed to do anything.

But his group took 5th and of course, Justin and his partner Ashley took first place.

“White, White”, Charlie called but got no response.

“Hey man”, Charlie slapped him real hard and White finally answered.

“What’s it”, White asked rubbing his cheeks that were somehow already because of the slap Charlie gave him.

“You’ve being behaving strange for the past on week. What’s your problem”, Charlie asked and White sighed.

“I don’t know, I really don’t know. I’m in a mess right now”, White said scattering his hair.

“Tell us what happened”, Justin asked

“Last week, Cheyenne told me she likes me and she kissed me and Stephanie, Chrysler’s friend saw us and ran away with tears in her eyes. I,,,,,”, White trailed off.

“You what”, Charlie asked.

“I ran after her and explained but she said I didn’t owe her any explanation because she is not my girlfriend and since then, she barely looks at me and anytime she does, she looks away immediately.”, White said.

Jayden, Justin and Charlie started laughing making White confused.

“Why are you guys laughing. I mean I just told you guys something important and you started laughing. What’s funny”, White frowned.

“Sorry dude but it’s so funny. I can’t believe you’re in love”, Charlie laughed.

“Don’t be so sure about that”, White said

“Can’t you see the signs, you were worried she misunderstood what happened so you ran after her to explain. If you don’t feel anything for her, you wouldn’t want to explain yourself”, Charlie explained

“What do I do now”, White asked.

“Just tell her how you feel and let nature do the rest”, Jayden said.

“Okay if you say so”, White said.

* * * * * * *

“You’ve got to stop ignoring him, you’re making him feel bad”,

“How am I making him feel bad. Do you now read minds or what”, Steph retorted.

“I can tell from his expression anytime you ignore him”

“It’s not my intention to ignore him but how do I face him after what happened”, Steph asked sadly.

“Just talk to him normally, act like as if nothing happened”,

“Do you think he will speak to me now that I’ve been avoiding him”, Steph pouted sadly.

“You gotta try”

“Okay I’ll speak to him during lunch break”, Steph said and I nodded.

White also planned to tell Steph how he feels during lunch break and he’s been practicing for a while.

Justin and the rest couldn’t believe White was practicing to confess to a girl.

“Dude, what do you think you’re doing”, Jayden mocked

“Rehearsing of course or what does it look like I’m doing.

“I know, it’s just that no one rehearses on how to talk to a girl. You just let nature happen”, Jayden scoffed.

“Really”, White asked seriously.

“Yes bro, now come on, go prepare, it remains two minutes to lunch break”, Charlie said.

White arranged his hair and sprayed a little perfume and checked himself in the mirror.

When the bell rang, White left the class. He sent a junior student to call Steph to meet him in the hallway before students come out.

“Steph, Senior White is calling you, he said you should meet him in the hallway before students starts coming out”, the guy said.

“OMG, Chrys what do I do now”, Steph asked nervously.

“Answer him. We were looking for the right time but now he’s the one calling you. Just be yourself okay”

“Thanks”, Step said and hugged me and ran out of the class.

She met White resting his back on the wall with his hands in his pockets and his head was thrown backwards. It looks like he was in a deep thought.

“Hey”, Steph said fondling with her fingers.

“Come with me”, White said and held her hand.

Steph was surprised, she looked at her hand that was in his own and smiled.

He took her to a place students don’t pass and held her two hands and looked into her eyes.

“I have something to tell you Steph”, he said.

“What’s that”, she asked nervously.

“I don’t know how you will react to this but I love you so much. I didn’t realize how much I loved you till today. But I know I didn’t start loving you today, it started since it’s just that I realized it late. Will you be my girlfriend”, White said.

Steph was speechless and White was beginning to think she will say no.

“Yeah, I know you don’t feel the same way but it’s okay”, White said sadly and turned to leave but Steph hugged him from behind.

White turned and hugged Steph, he never thought Steph will like him too

“I love you too, so much. I didn’t say anything earlier because I was shocked. I thought you will never date a girl like me because I’m not that hot or popular and besides I’m a junior”, Steph said with a sad smile.

“What are you talking about, Junior or not, I still love you and I always will and nothing can change that”, White said and Kissed her.

Steph’s eyes widened as White kissed her. When he continued, she closed her eyes and responded.

After some minutes, White pulled away and looked into Steph’s eyes.

“So will you be my girlfriend”, White asked again.

Steph bit her lips and nodded.

“No, I want to hear you say it”, White pouted and Steph laughed.

“Yes I will”, Steph said and White hugged her tightly.

They talked about a lot of things until break was over.

“That’s too close”, White pouted.

“Come on, it’s not like the world is coming to an end”, Steph scoffed.

“But I’m going to miss you”, White said

“Stop behaving like I’m going to disappear”, Steph rolled her eyes.

“I’m going to miss you”, White said and hugged Steph tightly.

“It’s okay or I will be late for class”, Steph said and pulled away from the hug and pecked him.

“I love you”, White said smiled

“I love you too”, Steph said and ran away before she would embarrass herself.

“So beautiful”, White chuckled at the disappearing figure of Steph.

He turned and left for class. He already knew the teasing that is waiting for him when he gets to class.

“So White, how did it go. I guess it went well seeing the red lipstick on your lips”, Jayden smirked.

“I and Steph are officially a couple now”, White smiled.

“I’m proud of you bro, maybe we should coach Justin so that he will confess to Chrysler”, Charlie mocked

“I don’t like her and even if I do, I don’t need your coaching”, Justin rolled his eyes.

“Let’s watch and see”, Charlie smirked.

Justin scoffed and continued pressing his phone.

“Have you and Amanda broken up”, Jayden asked.

“No and I don’t want to talk about her”, Justin said.

“What happened between you two”, White asked.

“Her character just keeps on getting worse by the day. I have to end all this and be free. I can’t die before my time”, Justin said.

“Then do it, what is stopping you from doing it or do you love her”, Jayden asked.

“No I don’t, I just don’t want to put Chrysler in trouble. Amanda is already suspecting that something is going on between us and the last thing I want is for Chrysler to suffer because of me”, Justin said feeling a little bit sad.

“Dude you love that girl stop pretending”, White said.

“I don’t okay, can you guys stop talking about her”, Justin yelled.

“Okay, okay, you don’t love her”, Jayden raised his two hands up.

“I’m hosting a party in my house to celebrate my birthday. It’s going to be next month”, White said.

“Woah, that’s great man. So how is it going to be”, Jayden asked in excitement.

“Well you can’t enter without a female partner”, White winked.

“Arrrgh, whyyy”, Jayden groaned.

Justin glared at White while Charlie was laughing.

“You must be joking right”, Charlie asked but White shook his head that was when Charlie know that White wasn’t joking.

“See you at the party and everyone in school is invited. I look forward to seeing your partners”, White smirked and turned to leave the class.

“And oh, before I forget, this your card. And you all must be present”, White said sharing the invitation card to each of them and left the class.

“That son of a b**ch”, Jayden cursed.
