Chapter 4. Why, Heart?

I did not sleep much. I will never forget the kiss that Sebe took my first kiss just like that! Okay, I know I can do nothing. It so happened that I could not bring it back. I let it go too.

So, it’s my fault too. What Sebe was planning or what he needed from me I did not know about that.

I just met him. I have not known him very well and kiss completely immediately? Maybe that’s it? It happened, I just forget about it. I’ll act that there is nothing happened. I can deal with it, it’s not a big deal anyway as long as my virginity below is still intact.

I combed my hair with my fingers as I got out of the taxi. I am now at the gate of HMU. We’re now wearing our daily uniform. I was short on the skirt so I wore cycling shorts and underwear.

Before I could enter, I wondered why someone was gathering in the alley. My forehead was furrowed. I knew in the distance that they were fighting.

I can’t get there. So I just turned around and left. But what I heard stopped me.

Someone snorted. “Don’t make me feel bad about your stupidity Sebe.” I know that cold voice from Damon.

“Sebe?” I uttered so I turned there. Their friends are pulling at them just so they can’t reach each other. If before I didn’t care but now my curiosity brought me there.

Nothing of my own came there and pushed the students just to get ahead.

“Shit!” I cussed when someone step on my foot. What I don’t like at all is to step on my foot! I glared at the woman and her lips parted.

“Damn! She’s the woman with sir Sebe yesterday, isn’t she?” I heard her say. But I never looked at her again. She wasted my time. When I was ahead I was surprised at what I saw.

Sebe unbuttoned his white t-shirt and his lips parted. I just tasted that lip yesterday and it’s that so now? The heck Natalia!

Two of Damon’s friends are stopping him and two are also with Sebe. Sebe just violently removed.

“Me too… brother…” Sebe said mockingly to Damon.

They are just the same body. Muscular as tall as well. They look like twins. Sebe has earrings. Damon, on the other hand, has a shave on his eyebrow that suits him.

They are so handsome. Why are they fighting? But I almost hid when Damon looked up at me, why am I here in front anyway? Ugh.

Sebe frowned and looked at Damon, which is me. My heart pounded.

I saw Damon approaching where I am standing. What? But Sebe immediately threatened him.

“Don’t touch her,” Sebe said with gritted teeth. The women were shouting.

But they were too hot-headed. Damon violently pulled his hand away. He smirked.

“Why? She’s yours?” Damon teased. I don’t know what they were talking about. Sebe’s jaw clenched.

“I kissed her so she’s mine,” Sebe answered emphatically. Damon chuckled and looked at me seriously. Sebe also looked at me. Others whispered why me?

Even I am confused. Why me? Damon raises both hands. Like he’s surrendered and left

I haven’t seen anyone fighting yet. I close my eyes tightly and join the others who are leaving.

I have to avoid him. He’s an asshole. He kissed me without my consent. That would have been okay. Sebastian is a brute, he’s rude, and a war freak.

I don’t want to lose my grade because of this. I may have failed because of him I could no longer focus.

I was in the hallway just after our third subject in the afternoon. It’s three o’clock too. My head hurts because I made two mistakes out of one hundred.

Gosh! It’s my first time. Because of that, I borrowed from our teacher his books to study. I hold it now in both my hands while walking. I will fix this. I shouldn’t have failed because I only made two mistakes before, I was exempted from group work where they will be finished until the afternoon. I Pity Kylie and Jen in my mind coz’ they didn’t study last night. I licked my lips and looked up at the hallway.

Fuck, wrong move. I immediately looked for a detour so as not to meet Sebe but there was none.

“Damn,” I cursed silently. I bowed as he approached me. My chest was pounding and my muscles were shaking. But the books fell one by one because of the jerking of my system.

“Shit!” I nodded and bent down to pick it up. But there were big hands that snatched it and he picked it up.

I immediately stood up because of the redness on my cheek. Then he stood up and did not return my book to me.

“Give it to me,” I said softly at once.

“I’ll take you home.” He said to me so I was shaken. No way.

“No. I’m fine.”

I looked at him with the same intensity.

But I stared at his lips. I was immediately distracted. Fuck those lips it’s distracting me.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

I nodded. “Of course,” I answered and took my book in his hand. I couldn’t stop the electricity flowing through my body.

I smiled awkwardly.

“I’ll go first,” I said goodbye. He bit his lips and nodded as if forced. Is it fine to entertain his company? Is there nothing wrong there?

I touched my chest, it was so throbbing. Why, heart?

I woke up lazily—my body ached. I feel tired and I do not know why I am in a bad mood. If it weren’t because we have a quiz on my two major subjects, I would not have entered the class.

“Natalia? Are you okay?” La Lagring asked thoughtfully when I didn’t move the food in front of me.

“I am.”

La Lagring raised me since I was a child. She knows me better, compared to mama. Mom only comes home once. I’m used to it. It doesn’t seem like a big deal to me.

“Are you sick? You looked pale.”

“On my period,” I answered. She nodded and laid down a glass of milk in front of me.

“Is that so? For a while, I thought that you were sick or having an early fight with your boyfriend,” She teased.

“I don’t have a boyfriend and I don’t have any plans on having one, La.” I took a bite of the bacon and drank the milk. “When is mama going home? She’s not answering my calls.” I asked her.

“You know your mama is busy, especially now that she’s focused on the new Hotel on Isla Constancia.” She said, and I nodded. Why did I even bother to ask?
