Falling For You — Chapter 8

Blake's POV

The rest of the day had ended pretty quickly. I made sure that Amy didn't bother Lydia afterwards. I had been feeling a little weird lately.

After the day of mine and Lydia's first kiss, to be more precise. That girl is different and she had been on my mind a lot lately.

The day I went to my cousin's wedding was the day I realised how much I have been missing her even if we don't talk much.

Her beauty takes my breath away everytime I look at her.

Heck, I am being such a fucking pussy!

I sighed as I threw my bag inside my Porche. And that was the moment when i saw Lydia walking towards her car with Julia and Alessa.

"Aye man! what's up?" A voice startled me and I cursed. It was River. "What the hell man!" I said and he gave me a sheepish smile.

Dick.

Whatever names I call him and Nate,they have been my bestfriend since forever. They have been there for me at my hardest times and I owe them a big fucking time.

"Why is your mood so off today? You seem a little off" he said as he punched my right shoulder. I just shook my head at him.

To my relief, he didn't question me further. Soon enough, Nathan joined us and we started talking about all the random shit.

"You are a freaking pussy" Nate blurted randomly and I raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?" I asked him and he smirked.

"You like Lydia" and there, he said what I had been avoiding all freaking week. "I don't!" I said and I could feel heat rushing to my ears.

"You are blushing!" River screamed and some freshmen passing by gave us weird looks. "Shut the fuck up!" I said as I gave him a glare to which he smirked.

"Why don't you make a fucking move?" Nate asked me and I raised an eyebrow. "Do you want me to get started on you and Julia? Maybe then you would know who is the pussy here" I retorted and he stuck out his tongue at me.

Looser.

"Real mature guys!" River muttered as he hit the back of mine and Nate's head. "Tell us the real reason though" River said as we got in my car.

Yes, these loosers are coming with me to my house. It's like, they are at my house for the majority of their life. Well, mostly River because of Alessa.

Want to know what my reaction was when I found out they were dating?

Well it was mostly simple. But, don't forget to involve punches on River and a bloody nose with a broken ankle.

"You guys know what had happened last time" I said as the pain hit me again. It is the worst feeling ever to talk about my past.

The air became tense and I looked at Nate through my rear view mirror. He had pursed his lips. I know that they know that it is hard for me.

"Not every girl is like her. Lydia is different. We know her since we were kids. I know Lydia won't ever break you. She is just too damn good to do that and you know it." He said and I sighed.

He is right.

"You should give yourself another chance" said Nate.

Right again.

"And we do really know that you know her since childhood. Should we remind you of the 'Barbie' incident?" River said and I laughed out loud.

I do remember that incident. It was pretty hilarious. I remember that I used to call Lydia 'Barbie' when we were 7 and one day she went to strangle me but knocked the OJ at herself. I had laughed way too hard at that.

Thinking about her made my heartbeat fast. And I just knew that I like her.

But, does she like me back?

Lydia's POV

It was the first lecture again. And guess what? Blake is in my class. The same class in which we are going to submit our project in future.

The students had filled the class but Blake wasn't here yet. The teacher was yet to arrive though. The warning bell went off and the teacher entered.

I frowned.

What if he skips today?

I pursed my lips and a disappointed sigh left my left. I groaned and I started banging my head lightly on the table.

As I was about to go and bang it again, a hand came in between my head and the table.

I looked up to see Blake sitting next to me. I bit my lip and my heartbeat increased at an uncontrollable pace.

I guess I looked at him for more than a second because he raised his eyebrow but I knew that he was trying not to smile.

I sat up straight. "Good morning" I greeted him and he looked shocked at my polite greeting. Soon, a smile took place on his lips and he greeted me back.

My heart literally skipped a beat at the sight. I knew a blush was making it's way on my face but I looked ahead and looked at Mrs. Newmort who was blabbering about the topics she is going to assign us for the project.

I put my attention towards her while she gave the topic. Our row got the topic regarding the French empire and I literally squealed because I know a lot about French History and how democracy started to spread throughout the world.

Blake noticed my excitement because he opened his filthy mouth and made a stupid remark. "Nerd" he muttered and I gave him a glare.

"Shut up" I told him. "Skirt down" he said and smirked.

Should be embarrassed or should I kill him?

I choose the latter. "I will slap you if you don't shut up!" I warned him. "And I will slap your butt if you do the honours of pulling your skirt down" he said and I blushed.

Red.

"What the fuck! Keep your mouth shut Blake" I said as I looked at my purple floral skirt which I had paired up with cream fluffy top.

"What the fuck! Pull your skirt down, babe" he said and I was about to groan when Mrs. Newmort suddenly came and banged her hand on our table.

I jumped on my seat and was about to fall but Blake grabbed my arm in time and I felt sparks fly throughout my body. He gave me a glance as if asking if I was 'okay' and I nodded.

"Ms. Hayes and Mr. Parker, this is the second time in a row that you have been found talking. I don't want to hear anything from both of you and you both are facing a detention today!" She screamed at us.

I muttered a 'sorry' and squeezed Blake's hand as if asking him to say 'sorry'. I left his hand. They were pretty warm.

He looked at me from the corner of his eye and I glared at him. He sighed and muttered a 'sorry'.

She ignored us and went away to continue her lecture.

Me and Blake, we both kept quiet and looked straight ahead.

I don't want another detention!
