Chapter 17

“what?” she asked Indignantly.

“nothing. Your cute.”

“whatever.” And she ate her ice cream as fast as she could. Then the bell rang for the next period.

We walked back to our room. The section A is still there because our subject for today is arts and our teacher is the same teacher who also handle our P.E.

“Nice to see you again.” Our teacher make a wide grin and opened his book. I took my book and put it in my table.

“Open to page 6, lesson 1 . Art.” He said and we all open our book to the said page.

“what comes in your mind when you hear the word art?” the teacher asked.

“ we all know art comes in different field , the art of singing ,dancing, writing, painting, designing and many more.” He said

“Art is a diverse range of human activities involving creative imagination to express technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, conceptual ideas.” He added. We just all nod to let him know that we are listening.

“ so on your own word, what is art?” he asked and stroll his eyes among the students.

“sir.” I raised my hands and stood up.

“ art is a creative activity that expresses imaginative or technical skill. I smiled at them and sit down. One hour or more, the class continued and when the time is up our teacher dismissed us. Violet bade goodbye to me because she is chasing Jim. She is indeed in love. I fix my things and get out of the room. I walked the long way to the gate were I’ll take the cab when suddenly Thunder just suddenly appeared next to me without me even noticing his existence.

“ I didn’t feel you.” I uttered.

“your so occupied that you didn’t notice my presence.” He said.

“oh I see” I said.

“ your going home already?” he asked.

And I don’t know whether I lie or not. I looked at him then I think again. Maybe a white lie is okay.

“I’m not going home yet.” I said.

“oh, “

“I’m planning to visit my favorite shop, they told me that they already have a new released books.” I said and smiled at him.

“ Okay then, I’ll go with you.” He said.

“ah, thunder.”

“hmm”

“about the- you know, the girlfriend /boyfriend thingy. What are we gonna do about it?” I asked while my cheeks is burning red.

“what do you mean? You want it to be real?” he asked.

“huh? No, I mean-“

Before I could finished my sentence he already claimed my lips. Oh jeez. He kissed me. Thundeus kissed me. He did. I was standing frozen while my mind seems to imagined that there’s fireworks in the sky. What I’m I gonna do?

And before I could respond ,he already stopped kissing me and turned his back from me and start walking. I’m still standing there, stuck staring at him with my mouth open. And when he felt that I’m not following him, I saw him sighed and walked back at me. He hold my hand and we start walking. And I know that some students saw what happened, I started to shiver.

“sorry for kissing you. I know it’s against the rules but I just feel like doing it because a girl behind you, Rizza Morales she’s my mom’s bestfriend daughter that she was trying to match make to me but that girl is too clingy and flirty I’m afraid she would run to me and cling to me like a leech. “ he said. And I’m nodding as if I understand him though the truth is I’m still trying to sink in what he was trying to say. Call me ignorant, but I still can’t move on that fairytale-,like kiss. If I’m not in public, I would have screamed and giggled.

“ Rizza Morales, the Math Club President?” I asked.
