Chapter43

Evelyn

Catherine and Julia hugged each other while Me and Flora hugged. We jumped in joy winning the championship... Boys played really well. The crowd cheered and I glanced towards our boys and saw them gathering and hugging others... I felt someone staring at me and eyed the whole courtyard I caught a guy watching me with his dark eyes.

I've seen him somewhere?

Where?

Hmmm..... Yes! Nate's party!

What is he doing here? 

"Flora.. What that guy doing here?" I asked her. She followed my gaze and then saw him. He now talking with someone from Westlake school.

"He played the game too Eve, you didn't see?" she replied. I frowned at her "Seems you're too busy staring at your crush!"  she smiled at me and pinched my cheek.

"Come on eve. We can wait for them outside" Julia spoke getting my attention. I glanced at Flora "Will you come with me?"  I asked her.

"Nope. I'll wait for boys outside the changing room. You guys go ahead" she said glancing at julia and cathy. I nodded and before I can move an inch I heard girls gasping and squealing seeing something, I followed their gaze and saw Blake running towards the grandstands and coming towards me.

What now?

"Come with me!" He stated grabbing my wrist.

"Hey, what do you want with her now?" Flora asked beside me.

I'm zoned out from their conversation as I'm getting stares from the whole school... Even the faculty too. Students stopped what they're doing and watching us in awe. By the time I came out from my trance I'm standing  at middle of the courtyard with Blake and we're facing each other.

"What are you doing?" I asked him. He just gave me a sweet smile and glanced around us. He then fished out something from his pocket and locked it around my wrist.

It's a bracelet.. Beautiful!

Before I can admire it completely he got down on his knee clutching my hands in his. He looked nervous and his palms were still wet with sweat from playing.

"Will you.... " he stopped

Is he planning to ask me.... Really?

"Will you be my girlfriend cupcake?" he asked staring at me lovely.

I blinked at him registering his words and I gasped not believing what I'm seeing.

"Did I hear you right?" I asked again to confirm.

"Yes Evelyn. You heard me.. Will you be my real girlfriend?" he asked grinning at me. I chuckled remembering the conversation of boyfriend and girlfriend at park on that day.....

"Like real boyfriend & girlfriend?" I asked blinking my Happy tears

"Yes. Come on Evelyn! Give me an answer already!"

"Oh right? I've to give you an answer isn't it?" I played with him.

"If you won't answer in next 5 seconds I'll leave you here.. This time for sure. I won't run after you!" he spoke seriously.

"Then try to leave!" I stated wiping my tears.

"I'm kidding Evelyn. Where would I go leaving you, my legs killing me so please tell your answer before I give up" I chuckled and nodded him to get up. He stood up and I clutched his hands in mine and giving a heartful smile "Yes. I'll be your girlfriend!"  I whispered enough for him to hear.

He crashed his lips on to mine and kissed me cupping my face. I locked my arms around his neck and stood on my toes to reach his height. We heard whistles and howls from students around us and we pulled away. He's grinning like an idiot and I'm sure I look the same...

I glanced around and saw there's no faculty standing except our principal.I thought he'd get serious but to my surprise he winked at us and walked away from there. Our friends came running to us and hugged me and Blake. Slowly students dispersed from the stadium and we stood there talking.

"At last you asked her man! You should've went the day I talked to you" Harry spoke placing an arm on Blake's shoulder.

"Which day?" I asked him. Blake looked down at me "I'll tell you later"  I nodded at him and saw Duke and James staring at us from afar with C&J. I ran towards them, Catherine and Julia hugged me but Duke stood there watching us.

"What happened Duke?" I asked scaring because he doesn't like me with Blake.

"Nothing. I'm happy for you!" he said and left from there. James and girls followed him out.

"What is it?" I heard Blake's voice from behind. I turned around and hugged him "Why did he left like that?"  I asked

"We can talk to him later. Come let's get you home"

"No no. Let's take some pictures" Flora said holding her camera. We posed and took group photos and then she asked me and Blake to give poses so that she can take couple pictures. After that we walked to parking lot and was about to get into his car but then someone stopped us "Well well... What do we have here? Blake and his new bitch!"  The same guy from Nate's party came to us with his friends and stood in front of our car.

Nate, Harry, Noah and others from our group came to us and glared at them "What do you want Jared?"  Blake gritted out.

"Don't you introduce your new playtoy to me?"  he asked smiling wickedly at me.

This guy he gives me a bad feeling.. I've to stay away from him as possible!

"Shut up! If you've no business here, just leave the hell out of here!" Jared came close to us where we're standing.

"Come on Blake. Why don't you share her with me like what you did with Flora!"

"Bast***..!" Nate came forward throwing a punch on his face. He stumbled back before getting onto his feet and rubbing his jaw.

"Let them go Nate. We don't have any business to do with these losers" Harry backed up glaring at Jared and his friends.

"You guys won that doesn't mean we're losers Harry" the guy beside Jared spoke.

Jared glanced at Blake who's clenching his jaw, glaring at him and then he darted his eyes to me. Eying me from top to bottom, he took a step and came in front of me just a few inches away from me. He brought his hand up and tried to reach my face but Blake stepped in front of me, blocking my view "Don't touch her Faulkner!"

Jared smirked while taking a step back. I side stepped from Blake to get the view "I guess she doesn't know about you guys. She's too innocent like Flora!"  he spoke glancing at me and flora who stood unaffected to his presence.

"I won't let you guys live happily after what you did to me... I'll come again and this time I won't leave you all including this little girl" he said staring at me.

"We'll see Jared" Noah spoke for the first time.

"Don't hang out with these guys, you don't know about them completely. Feel free to approach me if you wanna know the truth behind them" he spoke to me. I stared at him in confusion not knowing what he's talking about actually.

"Let's go!" Blake took my hand and opened the car door. I got inside buckling up. Glaring at them he walked around the car and got inside the driver seat. Our friends left to their own vehicle and glancing at them for last time we drove from school to my house.

.............................

"What was that?" I asked once we're outside my home still sitting inside his car.

"What are you talking about?" He said giving me a side glance.

"Who's he? What is he talking about flora and you being together?" I asked.

"He's talking shit Evelyn, ignore what he said earlier!" he replied tightening his grip on steering.

"How can I ignore if he's talking about you? I want to know,tell.me who's he?" I pushed him.

"I'm hungry can we talk about this later. Let's go inside!" he said stepping  out from car. I sighed and noted mentally to get answers from him.

I followed him inside and mom greeted us "Did you asked her already?"  mom spoke to him.

"How do you know that he's asking me?" I asked glancing between both of them. Mom hugged him sideways and they both laughed at me "You guys talked behind my back right?" 

"Why didn't you tell me mom?" I asked her folding my hands across chest.

"It wouldn't be a surprise if you knew that already!" she stated in boring tone and left us alone walking to kitchen. I huffed loudly and stomping on my feet I ran upstairs to my room and before I can close the door Blake stormed inside.

I placed my bag on study table and walked to my closet to get a pair of pajamas.

"Wow... Its still in your possession!" I heard him saying. I walked out and saw him checking my drawers and playing with the hanky he gave me on that night. I ran towards him and snatched it "Why are you checking my things?"  I asked him and closed the drawer hoping he didn't saw my diary yet.

"It's really rude cupcake! You can't keep secrets from me. Tell me before I try to find them" he spoke slumping on my bed.

"There's nothing to keep secret from you. I'll tell you if anything bothers me" I said walking to bathroom.

"Are you sure? No secrets?" he asked stopping me from going. I shook my head negatively and then he moved away so that I can go for shower.

After 15 minutes I came out and saw him lying on bed with his eyes closed.

"Are you asleep?"  I asked slowly approaching him.

No answer!

I took a few steps close to him and now I'm standing beside my bed "Blake are you......"  he cut me off by pulling me down on bed beside him.

"What are you doing?" I asked trying to get up. He placed his arm on my waist and his right leg on mine trapping me.

"Let me go!" I yelled at him. In a swift motion he was on top of me hovering my figure. I stared at him wide eyed "What are you planning to do to me?"  I asked raising a brow

"Nothing.. I just want to kiss you" before he can place his lips on mine we heard my mobile ringing somewhere.

Oh.. I forgot to take it out from my bag!

Who can be at this time?
