High School Sweet Hearts (Ryeji)

Chapter 18

"Ryujin, I really like you but you have to let go of me." Yeji said, trying to get out of the death grip that Ryujin had her in. 

"What? Noooo." The basketball player tugged Yeji closer to her and kept her in an embrace. She rested her chin on top of Yeji's, holding her tight. The brunette chuckled and left a trail of kisses along the expanse of Ryujin's neck.

Giggling, the younger girl pulled back. "Stop, I'm ticklish." She said and let go of Yeji. The brunette smirked hearing that. "That's great to know, so I could do this." She tugged Ryujin close and nuzzled her face in the crook of Ryujin's neck.

"Stop." Ryujin giggled more and pulled away, holding Yeji's face in her hands so she doesn't do it again.

The brunette playfully pouted, but a passing by student pulled her out of her trance. 

"Hey, you have a test to get too!" She exclaimed and took Ryujin's hands off of her face. Ryujin huffed. "I don't wanna write it." She complained and Yeji just gives her a reassuring smile.

"I give you my word that you'll pass. All this prepping wasn't for nothing." She turns Ryujin around and pushes her towards the classroom door. 

"Fine, if you say so." The younger waved Yeji goodbye and went to her classroom. Yeji waved back and chuckled when Ryujin was out of sight.

Feeling silence creep up onto her, she gazed around the hall to find everyone silently staring at her. The brunette felt embarrassment rush in and she lowered her head, shuffling somewhere else.

Since she had a free period this afternoon, Yeji decided that she should visit the library which was just across the street instead of the school one.

The brunette took her jacket and put it on, going outside in the cold weather. Yeji shivered as a gust of wind blew past her. "It's getting colder and colder." She commented to herself and was grateful when she finally reached the doors of the library.

Swinging it open, she smiles as the warm air and smell of books hits her. Yeji takes off her jacket and carries it in her hand wandering down the numerous aisles, trying to find a good book she could potentially become obsessed with for the next couple of weeks.

"You know, a good place to start would be the mystery aisle. It has the best books in stock right now." Yeji furrowed her brows and looked up beside her, seeing a guy stand beside her with a smile.

The brunette stepped back a little and gave him a tight lipped smile. "Maybe I should." Yeji said, only trying to be polite so she could back in the safe sanctuary of her mind and be alone with her thoughts.

The boy's smile grew wider. "Do you...need any help?" He asked with a different, more suggestive tone in his voice. Yeah, Yeji couldn't be polite anymore. "No, I'm good." She responded curtly and turned around to sit at one of the empty tables.

There was no giving up for the guy as he jogged and stood in front of Yeji's way. "Come on, I'm sure I can find you a great book." He kept a smirk on his face that he probably thought was sexy, but Yeji felt like slapping it off of his face.

Yeji continued walking, only for him to start walking backwards, his eyes still focused on her. When she couldn't take it anymore, Yeji stopped and huffed. "Listen, I'm just really not in the mood for this right now. I'm sure you're a great guy, but I'm fine, honestly."

The boy's smile got wiped off of his face. He scoffed and crossed his arms. "Like I really wanted to be with you anyways." He spit out and walked away. 

Yeji scrunched her face up in confusion, but didn't question it further. "Boys." She mentally said to herself in exhaustion. Yeji heard a small 'ding' go off and she patted down her pockets for her phone.
