Hey guys! I felt so bad about the short first chapter so I decided to write again tonight! I'm meant to be sleeping, but I'm full of energy and I need to write! So, let's get on with it!
I was full of anxious energy. All morning I was anxious, barely focusing on my work. Musa kept nudging me but I was so nervous I couldn't work. In all of my lessons I looked across the room and saw Helia working, his long blue hair falling onto the paper as he wrote. In History, the last lesson before Lunch I gulped, my stomach dropping as he caught my eye.
"Musa, he's staring at me!" I whispered into Musa's ear. Unfortunately Miss Grizelda, our strict teacher saw me and made a beeline for me before Musa had a chance to reply.
"Flora Lynphea, what are you doing? This is most unlike you to not be making an effort" she said, making my head droop in shame.
"Sorry Miss, I've just had a lot on my mind" I said, my throat clenched up in fear. If I didn't work I'd be given detention and I wouldn't get to talk to Helia. I put my head down and began to write.
"That's better Flora" I heard Miss Grizelda mutter as she walked away.
"Close one" Musa whispered quickly.
"I know" I replied and we carried on working. The bell went 15 minutes later and my stomach sunk even lower. It was now or never. I walked out of the door to the canteen, grabbed my food and met up with the other Winx girls.
"Flora, when are you going to talk to him?" Aisha questioned.
"Soon. Once he finishes lunch he normally heads out to a bench to draw, so I'll talk then'" I said, my hands clammy with nerves.
"Relax Flora, according to my calculations it should go well" Tecna said, making me smile.
"Thanks you two" I beamed, hugging Aisha.
A few minutes later I saw Helia get up and leave. It was time. We finished our food and headed outside. My voice was so shaky it was a wonder I could even speak. We neared the bench and the girls stood back as I walked up to Helia, my heart fluttering with fear.
"H-hi Helia... um... c-can I t-t-talk to you?" I stammered, my heart pounding with fear.
"I don't see why not" Helia said, looking up and flashinh a warm smile at me. I blushed furiously.
"Well... I... um..." I stuttered as he sat there, "I... r-really l-like-"
"Get away from my boyfriend!" a voice screamed. I turned and saw Imogen rushing towards us. My heart stopped as she latched her lips onto his. I blinked furiously, and then, tears seeping from my eyes, ran off. I ran all the way to the Library and at the back I finally burst into tears. It was over. Imogen had won. And as I thought this, my tears welled up thicker, obscuring my vision. This was it. Helia didn't like me at all. Heartbroken, I sank to the floor and sobbed, all the pain flowing out. I was too late and I always would be.
That's it for now! I know it's super short but our story is picking up now. Hope you enjoyed! Bye all!
