Amelia Scott's p.o.v;
Since I'm bad with directions, Hannah takes care of me with that. I tried to learn the ways and the stops but I kept on forgetting the signs and got lost twice during my elementary and once in middle school and once in high school. My parents got worried about me so they don't let me out often unless it's with Hannah.While I was drinking the smoothie, it reminded me of the moment when I accidentally touched Andrew's hand. I smiled to myself and continued drinking. I took my phone and turned on the front camera and looked into it. I saw Andrew talking to Peter while drinking the chocolate smoothie. I took a selfie holding a chocolate smoothie in my hand along with Andrew drinking chocolate smoothie in the background."I said to hurry up and you're taking pictures. Do you have so much leisure time?" Hannah asked.I smiled and put my phone back into my pocket and finished drinking my chocolate smoothie and said with a bright smile, "Come on, let's go.""Finally."While we're walking out the mall, she said, "Why are you glowing suddenly? It looks weird seeing you smiling up to your ears."I smiled while she was talking to me.She asked, "Seriously, what happened? Was drinking chocolate smoothie brightening up your mood?"I nodded hurriedly while I was smiling at her. We came to the bus terminal, and when she tried to board the bus, I said, "Hey! I can go by myself. You can go to your job. You're already running late so go.""Are you sure about that?"I smiled and said, "Yeah, you can trust me this time.""Okay. Don't forget to message me when you're home."I smiled at her and gave a thumbs up. She left after the bus started moving.I let out a sigh and looked at Andrew who was in the front. If he's here, why would I have to care about the directions? Since he lives next door, it wouldn't be a big problem, right?I took my phone and checked the picture I took back in the food court. I wasn't able to see it properly because Hannah was beside me. The picture came out really good and no one can say I took a picture of Andrew since my head was in the front and was big. It clearly looks like a selfie and Andrew looked like he photobombed me. Hahaha. And this was the first picture where we're together in the same panel even though you were sitting far away from me. I'm going to cherish this forever. I couldn't stop chuckling when I looked at the picture.I put my phone back into my pocket and looked at the person in front of me. Was it a coincidence or a destiny or a fate to meet him twice a day? It feels like a fairytale. Thinking about that, who would I be if this story was a fairytale? Will I be Cinderella waiting for a prince to get rescued from my stepmom? Or will I be snow white waiting for a prince to get kissed to get up from my sleep? Or will I be Rapunzel to get rescued from my evil mother?I laughed out loud and everyone looked at me.I apologised and realised that Andrew looked at me too like others… Did he? Oh! No! I'm embarrassed. What will he think of me? Laughing out loud in the public. I keep on damaging my reputation by myself in front of him. In the food court, i tried to grab the drink from him and now I laughed out loud like a stupid. Why is this happening to me all the time?After some time, Andrew stood up and waited near the steps. Have we arrived?When the bus stopped, I got up and got out of the bus along with him.When I looked at the neighbourhood, it looked familiar to me. I know this way. I can walk from here so easily.While he was walking, his posture and broad shoulders made him look so hot on a sunny day. He slipped his hair towards the back of his head while he was walking which made him even hotter. I saw his shadow in front of him while he was walking. If it's the time after the sunset, his shadow will come back and I will be able to see it properly but I missed the chance but I'm not going to worry about that and waste my time here. Because I'm already enjoying walking behind me.I wonder why he didn't take a bike when he owns one. Wasn't it tiring to take a walk on a hot sunny day? He flicked his shirt and continued walking in front of me. I don't know why but every move he makes is hot and so cool. While walking, his hands moved on their own. Since he has a muscular body, his hands looked muscular too which made him stand out in a crowd. There aren't many people around us but I bet even if there's a lot of people crowded here, he'll definitely stand out.When I looked at his hands, it reminded me of when I accidentally touched his hand. It felt smooth to my surprise. It was a little bony but it was strong when I touched it. His hands were pretty bigger than mine. My hands look so small when I compare them with him. I wonder how it will feel when he touches my hands, I wonder how it will feel when we hold hands together but it never happens, that's the reality I want to forget about.Amelia! You are forgetting something here! What if someone in my house saw me walking behind him? What should I do now? I stopped walking further and stood near a tree. I should wait here till he goes into his house so that no one will see us walking together. Yes!While I was waiting leaning on the tree beside me, I took my phone out and messaged Hannah that I got home. She called me in return. Why is she calling me now?I answered and asked, "What is it?""Did you really get home or are you lying to me?""I'm at home. And, aren't you busy at work, why are you calling me?""I was waiting for your message.""Awww! Hannah, do you like girls?""Why are you asking like that?""If you like girls, can you keep me on the top list?"She laughed on the other side and said, "Okay.""Go back to your work."I ended the call and looked at the road to check where Andrew was. He wasn't there. I think he must have gone into his house. I put my phone back into my pocket and walked on the road."Were you following me?"I heard Andrew's voice behind me. What is he doing behind me? I thought he left his house but why is he standing behind me? Did he see when I walked behind him? When did he notice? Was it after getting out of the bus or in the bus or in the food court?I turned and looked at him and asked in a low tone, "What did you ask me?"I thought he would ignore me and walk away but he asked me again, "Why are you following me?"I don't want to say so I let out a nervous chuckle and said, "Was I? I didn't know that." And scratched my head while saying it."Why are you following me from the food court?""What!? Food court? Didn't you see Hannah with me? I was hanging out with her and since our houses are opposite doors, it's possible to run into each other, right?"He didn't give a reply and gave a nod and walked past me. I let out a sigh of relief. I think I got him convinced. Why is it so difficult to tell a lie?I saw him walking in front of me. I walked to the nearest tree and leaned against it and waited for him to get inside the house.He changed his path and walked towards me. What does he want now? Can't he see how hot the sun is? Why wouldn't he get into the house? I feel so sweaty already waiting for him to go to his house first.He stood before me and asked, "What are you doing here?""Waiting.""Waiting for who?" He took a glance around us."Waiting for you to get into the house. I don't want my parents to see us walking together."He gave a nod and said, "You can go first. I'll wait here." And leaned on the tree on which I was leaning onto."Why are you doing this? Go!""I'm not leaving! I like this spot!""Well, fine then."I walked on the road and took a look at him before getting on the road. He was staring at me. Did he get mad? I don't understand why he wanted to wait under that tree until I got to my house. Sometimes the things he does around me makes me go crazy.Even though he was a hot headed guy, I liked him. I chuckled and continued walking to my house. I thought he was like that to me since we're rivals but after seeing him behaving cold to every girl, it kinda felt satisfying. So it's not just to me. When I secretly looked at him, whenever girls tried to force themselves on him, he never paid attention to any of them. He didn't even care to read their letters or mind the presents he gets from them. Was he a coldhearted person? No, he wasn't. I know about him then why did he behave like that to girls? Even though I liked it, I wonder why he's so cold towards every girl. He was okay with his male friends though. Does he have some grudge towards girls? I have heard that boys hate girls if they have a bad past towards girls. Did Andrew have something like that? Did he like anyone and get rejected? Or was he in love and got heartbroken? But he doesn't look like one who had heartbroken. Anyways, I want to know! But what should I do to know it? How can I know that? Think about something. I can't ask his friends too? I have to think of a way to know about that. How should I do it?Amelia's pov;When I entered the house, I noticed my mother watching a movie in the living room. Dad wasn't there. I believe he was still at work, and Ash wasn't either."How did you spend your day?" She inquired as I was removing my shoes near the front door."Yes, that was enjoyable. I had a good time with Hannah. Mom, I'm going to my room.""All right, what do you want for dinner?""Whatever my mom cooks is my favourite. So, Surprise me." Said with a bright smile.She gave me a sly grin.I went straight to my room and sat down on the bed. I was exhausted and felt a breeze on my face. The fan was not running when I looked up at the ceiling. I was surprised to see the windows wide open as I looked in the direction of the wind. Did mother open the windows? I hurriedly shut my room's window, drew the blinds, and peered through it to see if Andrew was in his room. I noticed an empty room when I looked around. I don't think he's arrived yet. I stepped into the shower after closing the bl
In the instrument class, Caleb, senior "I'm glad to see so many people joining the class this semester. I'm a little worried because the sum is higher than I expected." He said, clearing his throat "What I mentioned in your classes, you already knew. We will assist you in learning musical instruments and will advise you if you like to participate in any musical competition. For the time being, because the strength is so strong, we decided to hold an audition for the instrument class. For that, you'll be performing Cord C in front of me, Jacob and two other seniors who can't make it today since they're discussing the upcoming musical contest in our college. So be ready for the next class and come prepared.""What type of audition will it be?" someone in the audience inquired.Caleb, senior "For the audition, as you'll be performing Cord C, We'll choose the best members from among you."Someone, "You stated that you are teaching everyone, so why are you excluding members through an aud
In the music club, "What exactly are you doing here? Did Andrew ask you to arrive early?" Caleb senior, inquired."No, I came to practise on my own interest," I responded, shaking my head.He sat down beside me and inquired, "You can also practise at your place. You are not required to come here and practise everyday."If only I could come here, I could see Andrew better than via the window, but how can I say that to you? So I lied, "This place inspires me in some way.""Did you leave late last night?"I gave him a nod."You don't have to wait till he tells you to leave, you can leave whenever you like. Got it?"I gave him a nod."I ask every person who comes to learn, what is their purpose for learning music. What about you?" he asked.Andrew Campbell, please! He's the reason I'm learning to play the guitar!!"I came to learn it because I have to perform in my last semester." I lied."Acceptable, but learn with your heart rather than your mind, it will help you learn it faster.""Ok
Today's music contest,"I assumed you wouldn't come because you despise music. But here you are. Okay, follow me. Let's go to the ice cream stand and get one ice cream for each other before the competition begins." Hannah drove me to an ice cream parlour near the venue.In front of the ice cream parlour,Hannah chose the mint chocolate flavour, while I was still considering my options. There are so many different flavours here. Which flavour should I go for?"If you're unsure about tasting new flavours, go for chocolate. I bet it'll taste good." While I was looking at the ice cream, Senior Caleb said to me.Hannah muttered, "What's going on here? Is the gossip true?""What gossip are you talking about?" I asked back."Caleb, the senior, is hitting on you."This is probably why Andrew inquired about senior Caleb. He must have heard the rumour as well. Who is promoting such rumours? Actually, it's not like that, but I don't want to be perceived as such by Andrew.Senior Caleb handed me
After senior Caleb left, I entered Ash's room and stated, "He said you two are friends, so why did you speak to him as if you didn't know him?""That happened in the past. Leave my room if you came here to ask me about him. He stated that he is after you. What exactly does he mean by that?""I said I'm not interested in him but he's not taking it, I don't know what to do with him. I only like Andrew." I said quietly as I sat near him."Anyway, he'll attempt a lot of things, so don't fall for him at any cost. He likes a girl and moves on to another when he loses interest in the first. Even if he doesn't, inform me and I'll take care of it myself.""That is what Andrew told me."Sh*t!"Wait, what did you say, Andrew? When did you first start talking to him? Did you tell him you loved him? Please tell me the entire tale.""Wait, wait, wait. Don't draw any judgments on your own. First of all, Andrew is my crush, not more than that. Secondly, Andrew was in the same music club that I am. So
In the music club,Senior Caleb bought me a drink again, despite the fact that I told him I don't drink the flavours he buys, and he insisted on getting other flavours until I liked it. I'm not sure how long he'll keep doing this, but until then, I guess I'll have to put up with it.He placed the drink in front of me and stated, "This was purchased from GH, which serves the best drinks near our college. My swimming club pals advised against it, so I went there and had a drink by myself. It was tasty like they said. So, I'm sure you'll enjoy this flavour."I took a sip of the drink. It was refreshing and simply amazing. But I didn't want to reveal it on my face, so I remained motionless with no expression on my face."How's it?" He inquired, excitedly."It's not to my taste," I remarked, leaving the drink on the table.He sighed and replied, "I thought you'd appreciate it since I really liked it. People have varied preferences. It's okay, I'll surprise you next time.""You don't have t
In the music venue,"Today, we'll study the G major chord, which is the final chord in the guitar lessons.""Amelia plays G major well, senior," Lance says as senior Jacob teaches us the G-major.Jacob senior, "Really? Did you learn it already?""A little."Lance, "I heard her playing it before the class started, it came out really well."Senior, "Amelia, play it for us too. I want to know how you practiced too."In front of the class, I played the G major.Senior Jacob clapped his hands and remarked, "That indicates you've mastered the major chords. That was a great effort you put in.""Thank you very much, senior.""They anticipate more than just listening to the majors in the guitar," a student commented which made me feel down.Senior, "Well, practice for the competition. I'm not sure if you'll win the contest, but I'm impressed that you learned it faster than anyone else. Best wishes for your competition, Amelia.""Thank you very much, senior."I couldn't believe what senior Jaco
In my bedroom,"I noticed senior Caleb sending you off in front of the home. you have a competition tomorrow, but you're hanging around with him. What about taking the competition phase so seriously? Did it evolve over time? You entered the contest to prove them wrong, but now what? Is this your new method of proving yourself to them?"Andrew was never upset at me before. This was the first time, and it was terrifying."I apologise."I couldn't think of anything else to say to him. I don't even know how to adequately apologise to him since it's my first time being in a situationp like this with him. I took out my guitar and began practising to appease him."What are you up to?""Rehearsing for tomorrow's competition."He exhaled a sigh and added, "It appears that you did not understand what I was saying. You have a competition tomorrow, so rest up." And leaped out my window.The following day,Today is the music competition. When I awoke from my sleep, all I could think about was the
