Chapter Seventy-eight
Maxine’s Point of View
I closed my eyes again and shouted, “I said, I like him! I like him! I like him!” I opened my eyes and looked at Alyn tearfully, “I… I like you, Alyn.”
Oh, no. This is not what I planned.
After I said that, the surroundings were filled with whispers. I don’t mind, I don’t care about them. But… I can’t deny that I was embarrassed after I shouted that. Alyn’s with his girlfriend but I still confessed, they will I was shameless. B-But I don’t care! They can say what they want to say to me, the important thing is that I have already said how I feel for Alyn. And at least, I was honest.
“Gosh, did you heard that?” Audience 1.
“Did she just confess? Hahaha!” Audience 2.
“Woah, what a thick faced.” Audience 3.
“Does she think Alyn would response? How naive,” Audience 4.
“How shameless! She confessed knowing that many were watching.” Audience 5.
“She’s Maxine, right? The famous for getting bullied? Seriously, someone like her is not suitable for Alyn.” Audience 6.
Belle seemed to be shocked as well, she’s not saying anything. Even Alyn wasn’t responding. Aish, of course! He will think that I was just playing around.
“Hey-” I didn’t let Alyn finish what he was going to say and immediately spoke.
“D-Don’t worry! You don’t need to give me a response. O-Of course, I know you have a girlfriend. I Just want to let you know how I feel t-that’s all. Yeah… you don’t have to say anything,” I said.
Belle giggled, “You confessed knowing that he has a girlfriend just because you want to tell him what you feel towards him?”
My brows furrowed, “So what? Don’t talk to me, you’re my rival.”
“Pfft~ what?” She crossed her arms over her chest, “No, we’re not. I’m his girlfriend while you’re just his admirer.”NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
I know! Damn it, does she really have to say that? Arg!
“That’s enough, Belle.” Alyn entered the conversation, “Thanks for your hard work.”
Belle turned to him, “That’s all?! You need to pay me!”
Alyn heaved a sigh, “Yeah, yeah~ get out of my sight already.”
Belle clicked her tongue before she turned to me again and rolled her eyes at me, then she turned away.
What was that? And why are they talking like they were just friends?
“So?” Alyn smirked, “Did I heard that right?”
I averted my eyes when I felt that my face heated, “Y-Yeah.”
“Oh, yeah? But I thought you don’t like me? I heard you loud and clear said that at the rooftop,” he said.
I turned to him, “T-That’s…” oh, no. What will I say? “Uh… Uhm…”
He tilted his head, “Ah… so you’re just fooling around.” He nodded at his own thought, “Okay, then.”
He was going to turn around when I held his hand causing him to stopped. When he looked at my hand that was holding him, I immediately took it back.
“You…” I took a deep breath, “Do you know how much embarrassment I feel?! Do you know how much courage I took from my chest just to tell you that I want you even if your girlfriend is next to you?! Do you know how much insulting and bad words I will hear after this? Huh?! Then… Then you say I’m just kidding?!” I shouted. I used all my strength to shout all that.
I… I want my words to reach him. I want him to realize that I’m serious. Damn it. Of all people, why do I have to fall in love with such a jerk who can’t just tell if you’re being honest or not?
I bit my lower lip to held back my tears. Fuck it. This is embarrassing.
“Oh, shit.” He cursed and covered his mouth while looking at me seriously.
“T-Take care on your way home. I’ll get going now,” I said and turned around.
“What a pity,” audience 6.
“Suit her right, who does she think she is? Hmp!” Audience 7.
“Just go home, bitch!” Audience 8.
“Oh, rejected!” Audience 9.
“Go home and don’t bother our king,” audience 10.
“Boo~ go home! Go home! Go home!” Audiences shouted in unison.
I could feel the sharp stares of the students watching. Of course, I can hear their sayings. I heaved a sigh and bowed my head as I walked away. This… This is fucking embrassing-
My eyes widened when I felt someone hugged me from the back. He put his head on my shoulder and whispered, “Damn, what am I going to do? My heart seems to explode because of excitement.”
“Alyn?” I muttered his name. He turned me around to made me face him, “You… What are you-”
I didn’t finish what I was about to say when he suddenly crushed me with a kiss in front of a crowd. What… What is the meaning of this?
I heard the crowd, gasped. But all I could care about is Alyn’s kissed.
I feel like I’m a princess kissed by my prince charming. Everyone around me disappeared and it was like we were flying now. I could no longer feel my heart because of the panic and the butterflies in my stomach were light and dancing with joy. It’s like I’m in a fairytale.
When he parted our lips, my finger moved on its own to touched my lips.
Alyn smiled, “Confession accepted.” He said.
“WHAT?!?” the audiences reacted in unison.
“But… B-But how about Belle?” I asked.
“Ah… about that,” he scratched his head and averted his gaze. “Actually, she’s Giles’ girlfriend.”
“W-What?!” What the heck is he saying?
No! That can’t be true! They are lovey-dovey every time we are together! But I wish what he’s saying is true so that Alyn would be mine.
“What’s this? Aren’t you finish yet?” Belle suddenly appeared with… Giles! She’s clinging to his arm.
Alyn turned around, “No. We’re together now,” he answered.
My eyes widened and I looked at him. Are we?!
“Damn, no way!” Audince 11.
“Maybe Alyn is just kidding. He must be kidding.” Audience 12.
“Oh, my gosh! I can’t believe this!” Audience 13.
“What did he saw with her? She’s nothing compared to Elaine.” Audience 14.
“Kyah! Where’s my phone I need to capture this!” Audience 15.
That Elaine again. Who is it?
“K, congrats. You better pay me, got it?” Belle said. She even pointed her finger to Alyn.
“Yeah, yeah,” Alyn nodded. He turned to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder, “She’s now my girlfriend. Don’t you ever touch her.” He said while facing the crowd.
What is he doing?
“H-Hey, Alyn-” I didn’t finish what I was going to say when he spoke again.
“If I see any of you do bad things to her, you’re not be forgiven. I also don’t want anyone to say hurtful words to her after this day. Whoever mess with her also mess with me, got that? She. Is. My. Girlfriend,” Alyn declared.
Ahh~ what should I do. Hearing him say that I’m his girlfriend makes my heart flutter. I don’t want to end this day. I hope it’s just pure fun in our relationship and nothing else. I wish this won’t end.
Ah, right. What happened to Louis?
