Hi everyone. I've decided to continue this story but I still not quite sure how long can I keep this up. I just hope I can at least got to tell this story until the end of the first season. I hope you guys can enjoy this story.
Chapter 2: The Secret Gets Out
Hi, It is Bianca again. You know, your ordinary junior high school girl who has a crush on Henry Hart aka Kid Danger. Well, I got nothing else to say about myself but I can tell you more about Henry.
After our very short study session, Henry I got an A on his makeup test which was amazing. But from the negative point of view, I won't be seeing him in the library anymore which is kind of sad. Maybe it was for the best, Henry could become Kid Danger and excel in his history lesson. He did scream like a girl for a few days... that I don't know why. I also got to congratulate him but he mixed up his words a lot which is kind of cute, but after a few days his speech became normal so I guess I wasn't the cause of that.
Now I continued my everyday routine in school and occasionally sneak a peek on Henry. I also followed the news frequently so I could catch up with the latest crime fighting with Kid Danger and Captain Man. The villain this time was called the phone shark, the man who caused terror by biting other people's phone. Yeah... Swellview had the most peculiar villain yet our superhero and his lovely sidekick still unable to catch him. This was the news from a few days ago.
"We're live in downtown Swellview where the Phone Shark had Strike again," said the beautiful long wavy haired news reporter, Captain Man was shown beside her with an uneasy face alongside a bunch of restless citizens on the background, "this time the phone shark bit through a dozen people's cell phone then fled the scene once again escaping capture from Captain Man, Is it true that the Phone Shark have been attacking other people's phones for over a year now? " she continued.
"Yes, it is true," Captain Man answered with defeat.
"So why don't you catch him?" the reporter asked again.
"Well, Kid Danger and I have been trying-"was Captain Man's best response which was kind of sad for the indestructible hero to be destroyed in this line of questioning.
"But you keep failing, doesn't that bug you?" and I didn't quite settle for the reporter's intonation, I felt like she was putting way too much hard time on the good hearted superhero. Kid Danger wasn't anywhere near the shot which was good, I couldn't handle seeing Henry with a troubled face.
This actually made me wonder for Henry's well being, I hope he could still keep up his spirit. In my mind, I began to organize a plan to cheer him up without barging into his privacy or making him uncomfortable. I did have his number from Charlotte when I was asking for Henry's email (so I can send him the puerto rican history summary to him) aaaaaanndddd thenextthingIknewIwasdialinghim.
"Hello...?" and he answered so quickly! he sounded so sad, but I'M GOING TO DIE IN SHAME!
"Henry, Hi... how are you?" phew, nice safe Bianca. Quick think of something else!
"Oh hi, Bianca... what's up?" oh nooo, he didn't sound so great and I couldn't ask him anything Kid Danger related.
"Oh um..." here goes nothing," I was wondering since the last time we study together in the studying club, are you interested in joining?" and that was the only thing I could think of. Henry went silent for a while but he did eventually answer.
"Well... maybe not. I have... something else on my plate," He said it with a void of any energy. It really broke my heart listening to him. I really wanted to help him. If only there was a way for me to be at least a lending ear for his problem.
"Oh, it's okay. I'm only just asking if you were interested, I am the club president after all," I continued," you know you don't have to come to the studying club only for studying. If you want to talk to someone, I'll be more delighted to help."
"But it is called 'studying club', why wouldn't I come for anything but studying?" Henry asked at least when he is being critical his energy kind of increase. God, even when he sounded confused he is adorable.
"I just... you sounded in so much pain Henry," I explained," I thought maybe I could help you when we meet next time, but I guess that way is too intruding for you. I apologize-"
"Nononono it's okay it's okay. I'm the one who should be saying sorry for making you worry and questioning you. Thank you for worrying about me," He actually tried to make me feel better even though he was still depressed a few moments ago. He sounded quite frantic too as he tried not to offend me. He actually felt bad for me, someone who he happened to meet in the library because of his history test and creepily enough to call him on a weeknight in order to ask him about his feeling.
He is so kind.
and he made me fall for him even more.
My face couldn't have been any crimson and my heart was seconds away from bursting.
Stupid teenage hormone.
"Hello?" I went quiet for way too long so Henry had to call me from the other side.
"Yes, I'm still here, sorry," I tried my best to hide my shaking voice from him. I need to get out of this conversation as fast as possible," I-I guess this is all I wanted to say. At least say something to Charlotte okay. She is your friend right? she often goes to the library and sometimes we chat so I know she is smart enough to help you."
"Yeah..." Henry's voice went a little softer maybe he was thinking of something, " thanks, Bianca."
"You're welcome, good night Henry," and that ended our conversation.
The next day, Kid Danger was on the news. He managed to apprehend the Phone Shark and claimed that Captain Man was the mind behind the operation.
I know it wasn't Captain Man, Henry was a very bad liar. Maybe he really did go to Charlotte for help and that is why he is lying through his teeth but I could never confirm that. At least he seemed happy in the news broadcast and I could not be more content.
Thanks for reading guys. I'm sorry that this is not a very long chapter but I tried not to overcomplicate things and focus more on Bianca's feeling in this chapter. Please tell me what you guys think about this and I'll try to be better.
