CHAPTER 2: You are the one who is special to me

"I don't feel good"," I said with a frown on my face. It's the sixth P.E period and to my surprise, the coach told us it's "free exercise", so Heather and me walk away from the class and sits under the oak tree.

"Why? Because having a handsome brother, because having Brian Denver chasing after you like a hungry hound dog. I'm not going to give you any sympathy for that!" Heather said in a tone full of jealousy.

"You are being mean to me. Heather," I said. "Really mean."

"You can't complain." Heather crosses her arm, pretending to be angry. "If I have a passionate handsome brother, I would fall in his arm. Although it is sinful, but I still would enjoy it. If I have Brian Denver desire me, I would accept him without thinking. Actually, I would immediately take him to my bed!"

"Heather!" I yelled, can't believe she would say such things

"What?" she tossed her head, "it's nothing shameless."

"But I can't forgot Ethan, I even dream of him yesterday night" I said. My neck went red again when I remembered the realistic sensation of the dream.

"So?" heather raised one eyebrow.

"I still…love him," I whispered. "I don't know how, I don't know why, I just like him. I miss him….miss his voice, his face, his scent, his smile….."

"He is not fun-"

"Heather!"

"He is not cool-"

"Heather! Stop!"

"He is icy and cold, don't even care about you, you are not in that small town anymore, you can't see him, you can't meet him." Heather said cruelly.

I feel like someone had ripped my scar in my heart and spread salt to my wound. I feel weak and want to cry.

"I know it is very cruel of me saying all that, but I want you to get over him, stop acting like a weak and sad love sick girl. Stop all those sad dramas, Cielmine! You are not a sour lemon; you are summertime's lemon full of energy and sunshine!" Heather said.

"…" I crossed my leg and didn't say anything.

"Chocolate?" heather take out a snicker bar and swing it in front of my face.

Why she swinging a snicker bar in front of my face, does it supposed to be funny? However, isn't this scene supposed to be emotional and sad drama?

"…." I still didn't say anything; I need to act like very sad and emotional so she would feel sorry for what she had said. I closed my eye to resist the charm of the snicker bar. I'm not the kind of girl who can't resist the smallest lure.

But why is she still swinging it, it's already past 1 minute!

"Okay, I'll take it" I said, but I still frowning, pretending to be angry.

Heather giggled, her blonde hair looks very pretty under the sunlight.

"I'll go to the beverage machine and get you a cold orange juice to cool you down.'' Heather said, "another apology treat for you~~~"

I laughed, and watch heather running to the beverage machine next to the school gym. However, I suddenly feel there is somebody walking toward me, when I turn back, Brian Denver already behind me.

"Shh" he said putting his hand over my mouth.

We're behind an oak tree, his hand covers my mouth and his body is near me that I can almost smell the scent of mint shampoo from his hair. Slowly he put his hand away.

"I though you would scream" he said, his eye looking away.

"Why would you have that kind of thought? Why would I scream at you?" I asked.

He put his head down, but I can still see his blush on his face, it surprised me that he would blush. Brian Denver, perfect in everyway, is known as the "prince" of West green high school. I never thought he would blush.

"You are avoiding me these days, Cielmine. Every time you saw me, you turn your face away, every time I walk toward you, you pretending that you didn't saw me and you walked away. I thought you hated me"

"No, I never hated you…" I whispered.

"Then why you are avoiding me." He looks into my eyes.

He is so close to me. I afraid he would hear my heart beating so fast. I can even feel his warm mint breath.

"I want you Cielmine." there are full of intimacy in his eyes. He closed his eyes and slowly he bend his head down, in a second it would be too late to complain, I put my finger fastly on his lip before his touches mine. He opens his eyes and look at me with curiosity.

"I know you desire me Brian," I said, try to be calm. "But I already like another person"

He didn't say anything, just look at mewith his dark brown eyes.

"You are special to me Cielmine, I can't sleep without thinking your smile, I can't eat without thinking of your voice, the apricot scent of your perfume, I can't think of any girl but you. You are the one who is special to me." He holds my hand and gentlely plant a kiss on my fingertip.

"You are special to me, too," I said. "We are friends since childhood, remember? Although no one ever knows that, not even Heather. You are popular, and I'm a nobody, no one would think of that."

"Are you angry at me?" He asked.

"No" I said flatly.

"I want to be with you forever." He looks upon my face. And I met his hot gaze.

"Me too. But as friends." I said. "Friends forever."

He didn't say anything, nor move away.

"Heather gonna come back soon."

"No. She'll take a long time to come back"

I want to ask him why, but I feel I have no time for further conversation.

I pushed him a little, he turned away and when I thought he is going to leave, he turn back and plant a kiss gentlely on my forehead.

"Cielmine. You are the one who is special to me. But i won't deny my heart." He gives me a boyish smile and walked away.

"Cielmine!" Heather yelled my name from far away. With two bottle of orange juice in her hands.

She ran towards me, and when she stopped , she said " Cielmine, sorry you had to wait such a long time, there is a damn big sticker the machine that block me from putting coin in, damn it! It takes me long time to get it off, it's so sticky!"

"hah hah." I laughed, suddenly know why Brian said that Heather would took a long time .

"why are you laughing ?" Heather look at me.

"nothing." i give her a mysterious smile."nothing"
