Cheer For Me
Chapter 3: Of Coffee and Guy Troubles
For those few seconds, I felt as thought the world had not existed, except for me and the hot-looking guy that I was just staring like a total imbecile. It was like he didn't even belong to planet Earth at all, kinda like Clark Kent form Krypton. He had this whole mysterious, brooding, deep- in- thought thing going on. Then I sobered up. Hello, I have a boyfriend. But then again.
'Yes? Who's asking?" I replied, a little stunned that my voice sorta came out all sexy and husky. Mystery guy flashed a perfect smile (I have died and gone to heaven). " Jake Hunter, a first year too. You were the Toros Captain, weren't you? Knew I had to meet you."
Duh. I'm starting to get a little sick of this line. Just because I 'was' the former captain, there is really no need to keep using that excuse to get to know me. I mean I am blonde, but that doesn't mean that I only look on the outside, and not the inside.
I think Jake got the idea cause he immediately changed the subject. "So, can I get to know you better? I mean, a babe like you really shouldn't be wandering around on your own. There's a café just around the campus. My treat?" he smiled again. A cute guy asks me out and I reject already? I affirmed my ground.
"Coffee would be nice." Just praying that Cliff won't be anywhere near.
I don't know if it was the coffee that I had that kept me up that whole night, but I was really having trouble getting some Zs. Ah well, might as well put the time into good use. I got up and started doing some stretching movements, since I felt tensed and kinda sore the whole day. I mean, if you had to endure 7 hours of nonstop lectures, activities, homework and nerves of the upcoming try-outs, trust me. The last thing you need is insomnia.
Oops, I hear the doorbell. Must be Cliff, that guy is really the embodiment of sensitivity. He must have sensed his girlfriend in distress. "Comin!" And without a second thought, I threw open the door and flung myself straight into his arms, and planted a long wet smooch. Wait a minute.. Cliff doesn't kiss like that.
I opened my eyes slowly, then widened them, almost melodramatically, like one of those victims in those old-fashioned horror movies. Yes, to my utmost surprise, I found myself staring fixedly, not at Cliff, but Jake. I just kissed Jake Hunter by accident.
"Uhm.hi Torrance. That's a really g-great greeting." He said.
I couldn't reply. Because just when I thought this situation couldn't get any worse, it definitely got a whole lot worse. Cliff was standing a few feet away from Jake, in his arms a beautiful bouquet of flowers, his look a mixture of banal shock and disbelief.
I am in for it.
Hope you like the chapter, and many thanks for the 14 reviews that I received so far. I can't update for quite sometime because of my KILLER exams. All the same.I'll do my best. God bless you people.take care.
