Chapter 5: Confusions

I was woken up by the distant sound of an alarm. I groggily opened my eyes, my mind still clouded from sleep, as I turned my alarm clock off. I stared at the ceiling for a few seconds before last night's events suddenly flashed into my mind. My eyes widened in amazement and disbelief and I felt a sudden rush of my blood settle themselves on my cheeks. "Was it a dream?" I asked myself.

I let out a sigh. I turned on my right side and made a grab for my phone. My heart was pounding real hard while I was opening it and checking out my Messenger application. A sudden wave of happiness and relief flushed through me. I did not dream last night's events. It was all real.

Once the euphoria from it faded, a sudden wave of confusion rushed through me. I might have admitted to myself that I might have a crush on Natsume Hyuuga but does that mean I really like him? Is that even possible? I barely know the guy. Yes, he has the looks and he seems interesting enough but was that enough information for me to like him more than just a silly crush? Then, why am I acting like a love sick puppy over just a few conversations?

Letting out a frustrated sigh, a sat up on my bed and leaned over the bed's headrest. I was deep in thought trying my best to let my emotions settle down. It was all too confusing for me.

A few minutes passed by. My eyes landed on my alarm clock. My hazel eyes widening as I shot out of bed hurrying to the bathroom. If I let myself be absorbed in my own thoughts I would be late for classes.

I barely made it in class. My perfect record on being on time was almost broken but thankfully, I arrived at the classroom a minute before our professor for that period does. I let out a sigh of relief.

It wasn't till my third period for that day did I saw him. He was one of the first few people who were in the room. He was handsome as usual with his silky raven hair and unusually alluring red eyes. I let myself secretly observe him as I made my way to my seat.

My heart was beating fast but I tried my best to calm myself down. It was not that hard to divert my attention away from the handsome raven haired guy since a lot of our classmates were going the classroom and a few minutes later our professor arrive.

I found that I could not focus on the lesson at hand. My mind somehow insists to wonder over the raven haired guy a few seats before me. It might have been the fact that he was there in the same room as me that I find it harder to concentrate. My mind keeps on going back to my confused state earlier that morning.

Frustrated, I looked out the window to calm myself down. It was a clear blue sky outside. The weather couldn't be greater. A smile escaped my lips. The scenery feels like the exact opposite of what is in my head and in my heart. "What does Natsume mean to me?" I asked myself consciously.

I shifted my gaze back to the classroom. My eyes lingered on the professor for a few seconds before shifting it towards a few seats in front of me to my right. Hazel brown meets ruby red ones.

I felt myself blush and quickly averted my eyes and the moment I did so, I regreted it. It felt like I was caught doing something I should not have been doing. After my initial embarrassment, it then settled onto me. "Why was he looking my way?" I asked myself and felt my heart flutter at the thought. It felt like I was hoping for something.

Deep in thought, I did not even notice the time. It was dismissal before I know it. I was only brought back to my senses when I heard the scrapping of chairs and when I looked around everyone was leaving. Quickly, I gathered my things.

At the corner of my eye, I saw Natsume. His friends were waiting for him but he seemed reluctant to go. Again, I felt my heart skip a beat. I felt a burst of hope rush through me. But before I could make sense of what I was feeling, Natsume was already before me. "Hey," his silky voice said.

I glanced at him before returning back to stuffing my things inside my bag. "Uhm, hi," I said in reply.

"Want to join us for lunch?" Natsume asked at the same moment that I finished gathering my things.

I stopped momentarily and was perfectly aware that I was blushing. I looked at him wondering if he was serious. "I… uhm… I would love to," I said and although his expression did not seem to change much there was a flicker of relief. Or was it just my imagination? "But… I promised my friends I'll eat with them today."

The two of us remained silent for a few seconds. In truth I was happy when he asked me if I want to join them for lunch but at the same time disappointed that I can't. He didn't show any signs of disappoint but just shrugged his shoulders. "Well, maybe next time then." He said after a while.

I nodded my head. "I'm really sorry," I found myself saying. "I'll make it up to you next time?"

He looked at me and nodded his head before turning back to his friends who were already outside waiting for him. He raised his right arm in a wave before disappearing with his friends leaving me with my heart beating rapidly and my cheeks blushing like crazy. What just happened?
