Elena's POV:
Wow! It's Valentine's Day and I'm actually excited. Some reason I'm worried about how I should look. Is for the day or for Mr. Jordan?
Washed my hair, curled it up. Put mascara, try to cover up pimples and dark circles around my eyes. Yeah, I mostly don't sleep well. And finally, my dusty pink jumpsuit and belt around my waist with black heels since those were my only heels.
I got to school and by the gate, Chris wasn't there. My heart almost fell out of place. But I decided to be positive that maybe he's planning something.
I continued walking and went to the lockers, still not here.
I opened my locker and found a letter falling out. It was simple with my name on it and when I opened it. It says:
A little light in her heart
Sweet and harmless
Lighting up her darkness
Soon will turn to spark
Light up the night my little star
The skies are blue
Thinking of me and you
Days goes by
Her light turned into fire
Through her eyes I see
She's the one I desire
Here it comes
The edge of winter
Come on spring
And shine her like glitter
Butterflies in my stomach
A smile on my face
She was the only one
Who would brighten up my day!
~From C.Jordan
I started pulling up a big smile and my face turned pink. Almost the same colour as my outfit.
Bell rings and there he was walking down the hallway. Everyone staring at him when his eyes were on me. Dressed perfectly for today, not to formal but casual. "Morning Princess." With his arms around my waist, hugging me tight.
"H-h-hi-hey" I stuttered. He was too gorgeous that I couldn't even say a sentence. Pulling out his arm "Shall I escort you to class, madam?" He said smirking. I nodded and my face was getting warm. Don't tell me I'm already falling for him. SNAP OUT OF IT!
It was already the third period of the day and I'm bored as hell.
(Knock knock)
Brandon standing outside of the class. "Special Delivery for Elena Watson"
Huh? I just saw him but didn't tell me I left my bag. I swear I left it in my locker. I stood up and took my Nike bag, "Uhh... thanks B." He winked and walked away. Ohh kayy this is getting weirder by the day.
"Open it up!" Few people shouting, well I was curious if knowing what was in the bag. I slowly opened the bag, and... "Awwwwwwww" It's a big Teddy bear with a heart that says "I love you", Red rose and Cadbury Bubbly chocolate. It was sweet of him to do that for me.
Chris' POV:
"Dude, I can't go to her class. That teacher hates me!" I am nervous to go in. "Fine, but this is the last time I'm doing you a favour." I can see that Brandon is annoyed but he's my bro. Oh shit! I still gotta give De'arra her gift too. (Miss-She-Thinks-She's-A-Queen-Bee)
"Ayt thanks, I'll meet you up later." We walked separate ways and I went to De'arra's class. I hid myself on the opposite side of where she was sitting near the door. "Psssp" she stares at me and silently giggled. She stood up and took a tissue, then quickly went outside.
"What the hell you doing here?" She tries to shout. I pulled out the chocolate from behind me and immediately she jumped up on me n I held her. "I couldn't wait until lunch. It's too far away." I whispered to her ear as we still hugging.
She gave me a peck and went back to class. Clearly shows that I got flirt game on a 100%. Hope Elena doesn't find out I'm also her enemy's valentine too. Nothing should go wrong with St. Valentine.
Elena's POV:
Hallelujah! It's lunchtime. I quickly ran to my locker, changed my books and find Kiara. But confused enough that she was actually having a conversation with Brandon. Second later they both looked at me and smiled.
"Looking for Prince Charming?" I shiver from the tone of the voice behind me. "I told you not to do that" I soft punched him on his arm. He picks me up and twirled around until we almost got dizzy. "Close your eyes. I got something for you." I blushed and he tried to peek but he saw I was still staring at him. "You know I don't like surprises." I laughed, "Shh, you're ruining the fun."
"Ta-da." Holding up a White Nike Golf T-shirt costs me hella lot of cash. He seemed happy I think. "Thank you", he said giving me warm hug. And I began to blush.
Colour Run was about to start and I had a stomach bug. It was more than that. Something was not right about the day. It was a bit off. "C'mon let's take a walk." He grabbed my hand after we both changed into all white, well except for my Black shoes that I only had.
"3...2...1... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!"
Everyone cheered. And I actually had fun. Chris and I chasing after each other. Throwing colour powder at all our friends. It was awesome. And colourful of course.
Soon we went to the end of the school where it's pretty dark and chilled for a while. "You look really sexy in pink" he flirted. "Says the angel with colour spots" I clap back. We ended up laughing and I began to fall.
He catched me from my fall and gazed at each other's eyes. His brown eyes shining under the stars knowing that he was the moon. He came closer that my hand was on his chest. I could feel the heartbeat thumping into a rhythm.
We became closer than we thought we could be. As our lips touched. It was 9p.m. Both our hearts stopped. I HAVE TO GO!! MOM IS GONNA KILL ME IF I'M NOT AT THE PARKING LOT. I snapped out of it. "I should go home now" fixing myself up.
"Uhh-uh-um yeah sure...lemme walk you up to the gate." Looking so lost and confused but he got himself together. The closer we got to the gate, the more awkward it got until he stopped walking.
"I guess I'll see you on Monday" rubbing the back of his neck, looking down. I rolled my eyes and gave him a hug. "Don't miss me too much" I joked and let go. "I'll try not to." He replied. I hope he knew that I was joking thought, right? Well was I?
