The Scholarship || DREAMNOTFOUND

Chapter 4 (Dream) ✔︎

two days go by, all we did in that two hour long detention was just sit and pretend to have learned our lesson,
but we're young and stupid
no one ever learns their lessons, at least when it comes to school things

yesterday sapnap had a small chat with me, all that was said was stuff we used to talk about when we lived in the U.S
but it was still nice— hearing my best friends voice in real life after that year long gap of not seeing him
yet i felt a small tension in the room that day
sure enough— when i glanced behind me, he was staring at me

but he wasn't staring at me in a angry way like before— it looked more hurt
the dismissal bell interrupted my chances at talking to george
he quickly grabbed his bag and just left the room, leaving me and sapnap together
not that i minded

fast forward to today— i'm grabbing all my books and stuffing them in my backpack as the final bell excuses the classroom
as i'm turning someone grabs my arm from behind
i'm startled— but quickly my heart calms when i see that it's just my brunet roomate
" oh george, you scared me— you alright? "

" let's ditch "
my eyebrow furrows in confusion at his response, "come again?" i responded as he let's go of my arm gently and adjusts his stance
" let's ditch detention today, let's just go out and have fun"

his idea sounded alot better than detention for two hours,
but i knew better
" no.. our detention well be extended, and i— "
he smirks and leans forward way to close to my face, making me turn a bright red

" so mr. dream is not only a goody two shoes— but he's scared to have a little fun? woooow~ "
playfully— he shrugs his shoulders and rests his hands into his leathered jacket and passes by me mockingly
" well, i mean being the principals son i do have my way around things— but if you don't trust me then you know~ " he smirks and winks at me

forget it, i knew better than to ditch—
i wasn't going to let him just be nice to me out of no where after everything that he's done to me
being rude—
being stubborn—
but my face gives him a smile as i swing my backpack over my shoulder
" i mean i haven't eaten yet, so you're treating me"

he smiles at me, i don't ever think a smile ever made me feel like my heart was practically beating out of my chest
but his did

he reaches into his pocket and i can hear the sound of car keys jingling
as he pulls his hand out he tosses what looks to be car keys
i catch them with no hesitation and look up at him, he winks at me once more
" i'll treat— you drive "

—

the fresh afternoon breeze brushes my golden locks, the sounds of cars zooming past us filled my ears
the sight of the bridge and water makes my eyes sparkle with amazement

i could feel a fresh and sincere smile spread across my face as i took in the beautiful scene
my grip on the steering wheel tightened with excitement as i looked over at the brunet sitting in the passenger seat
" so where are we going?! " i yelled

he smirks and let's out an in an inaudible chuckle
" pull over here " he points to an exit
soon the cars wheels transition from road to dirt as he motions for me to park
" come with me "

after a while of walking, i could see that he took me under the london bridge
a small dry spot where you could see the lights and boats passing by the bridge
" george? " i asked curiously
" aren't we gonna get something to— "
before i could finish my sentence— he stops in his tracks and turns around to face me

the sun setting in the background made his aura look so pure
he looked angelic—
my eyes widened—
my cheeks blushed—
my breathe lost—

" i'll cook at home for you.. but i just want you to look at this really quickly "
he extended his hand out to help me up the little pile of rock and dirt
at first i hesitated taking his hand— but then i looked into his eyes
" do you trust me? " he says with gentleness in his voice

my hand nervously takes his and he helps me up—
and i'm glad i did
as my eyes adjusted to the setting sun, the sight of the horizon and the now lit up buildings takes my breathe away
i could feel the spark in my eyes and my mouth hung open in awe
" george this is— this is! "

" beautiful "

i turned to my brunet roommate— a shocked look on my face
he was looking at me— but.. he was looking at me like he was in love for the first time
before i could say anything— he slowly turns away with a sad expression
" now i see why he doesn't want me " he whispers under his breathe— but i still heard it loud and clear
" george? " i say as i walk down the small pile of dirt, he doesn't respond— his face looked down at the ground as his brunet hair covered his eyes

suddenly my phone began to ring— as i looked at the caller ID, the bold white letters of my best friends name was displayed on my screen
" it's sapnap.. " my gaze looks towards him
still no response from him
" we should probably head back george "

the only response i got from him.. was a simple nod as he turns back slowly and walks back to his car
i looked at my phone as it stopped ringing, now realizing that my hunch was correct

george liked sapnap, but sapnaps heart belongs to another
yet the question in that moment was something i wish i never got the answer too

" why was george so upset about sapnap liking someone else? "
