Chapter 21: 21
As soon as the professor's voice boomed inside the whole classroom, Hope knew there was no chance in hell a sorry was going to make the professor let her stay in the class. She was not paying attention anyway and Varys was not going to stop talking for sure. So it was either one and a half hour's torture in this classroom or the chance of getting the hell out of here.
She may be bad at some things, but she was not an idiot.
Snathing the chance, she immediately collected her stuff and got the hell out of that classroom with long strides.
She felt Varys following her close behind but she did not wait around for him. She was able to get away as far as to the corridors when Varys caught up to her and snatched her to himself by grabbing her arm,
"Where the hell do you think you are going?" he growled angrily.
"Where you are not!" she feircely tried to snatch her arm out of his grip. From NôvelDrama.Org.
"You are not going anywhere without clearing this out between us, Hope!"
"WATCH ME!" Hope growled.
She had had enough of his crap. There was no way in hell she was staying here and listen to more of him shouting and cursing.
As she snapped the words, Varys' face contracted and his lips in a thin line,
"You do not want to talk?" he let her arm go at once as if he had burned her. His own anger was burning him from inside. He wanted to talk it out with Hope. Explain things, apologise even. But she was not ready to even listen to him. Her this attitude made him lose his mind.
If his friendship meant so little to her, then so be it.
"I don't." Hope snapped, not realizing the depths of his anger.
"Then fuck off." Varys said calmly while turning away from her, "Get away from me and do not ever come to me."
Saying the words he did not wait around to hear her answer. He just sprinted away from there to wherever his legs took him. Just away from her, that is all he needed.
Hope did not know what she wanted to do. Her heart was in turmoil. One part said to let him go, walk away from her. But then the other part of her heart screamed at her to run after Varys.
Frustrated with her own stupid mind, she turned around and ran in the opposite direction, away from him.
She was just blindly running when trying hard to control her tears when a hand grabbed her arm and stopped her midway. The sudden stop made her tumble and fall forward on the person who had grabbed her.
"Careful, pretty." The voice said while straightening her.
Hope staightened and looked up only to find the boy from playground standing in front of her with a small smile on his face. How much stupid she was, she had not even asked his name till now.
Straightening with a small, awkward smile on her own face she mumbled, "Sorry. Did not watch where I was going."
"It's okay." the boy said, "I wish for more days like these in my young days." he chuckled with a wink.
His words brought a real, but small on Hope's face. Once the moment passed the boy said,
"You ditched me that day." he gave a small, girly pout, only to make Hope giggle a bit seeing his funny face, "I was waiting for you to go with me to the party. You did not even pick up the phone."
"I am sorry." she breathed once her laughter stopped and a serious look came on her face but the smile stayed, "I got sick that day. Had a fever and was bedridden for days. I just came to college today only."
The boy in front of her immediately looked at her with concerned eyes, "You okay now?" he asked gently while ushering her to walk with him.
"Yeah, much better." she smiled.
He was in his sports attire. Which meant a short and a t shirt that hugged his abs perfectly. He was handsome, there was no point in denying that. But Varys seemed the king of handsomeness to be honest.
"What is your name?" she finally asked, a little embarrassed at her own queestion since she had not considered to ask this when they had met numerous times in the past.
"I am Shawn." he grinned at the look on her face.
She was adorable. He wanted to take her out with him at any cost. Hector had said that she did not have any boyfriend. He was shocked, but happy shocked after finding it, and there was no way in hell he was ready to let the chance to woo her slip out of his hands.
Once they came in front of the sports court, they came to a standstill.
"So..." Shawn started while rubbing the back of his head in nervousness, "There is another party today. A bit quieter one." she started to say something but he quickly explained, "It is not big one! And I know
you have just reconvered from the sickness but I would be really embarrassed if I showed up there alone since I do not have anybody to take with me."
"Ummm.." Hope hesitated before saying the words. She had already gotten in this big fight because she had agreed to go to a party with Shawn. But the begging look on his face was seriously too hard to ignore.
"Any friends?" she asked to dodge going with him, "I will not be able to drink anyway because I have been taking medications. I would be a total buzzkill to be honest."
"I only have male ones." Shawn shot a look to his pose playing in the ground, "and I hardly believe any of them would be ready to wear a dress for me and dance."
She snickered. The thought and imagination was hell funny.
"Alright." she gave up, "text me the time. I will text you my address. You will have to pick me up."
