22.Catching Feelings
June P.O.V
Okay! It is just another normal day! It's just Andrew. It was just a friendly peck in the cheek. Yes, I can't let this into my head. I am fine! I just need to stay away from him or maybe just ignoring the flirting will do. No! Avoid him June! Stay focused!
"Hello? I am talking to you! " Becky waved before me.
"Yea, I am right here!" I said as my thoughts were interrupted.
"Yeah? So what colour?" She asked suddenly.
Oh no! I wasn't paying any attention to her.
"Bronze!" I said the first thing that came on to my mind.
"I know right? I was thinking of that too! It'll look good on the hair right? " She asked another question.
Okay, are we talking about hair colouring? Or picking out some Hair accessories? This is so stupid, Why can't I tell her I just spaced out. Because she is your best friend and then the minute you lie she'll find out.
"June?!!?!" She waved to my face again.
"Huh? Yeah?" I replied immediately.
"Are you alright?" She asked looking concerned.
"Yes.. I am fine!" I mumbled to myself.
"You look like you are lost in your own world!" She said eyeing me suspiciously.
"Umm. Aren't we getting late?"I tried to change the topic.
"No, our appointment is not until 2'o clock!" She said checking her watch.
"What appointment?" I asked looking confused.
"Our hair stylist's appointment of course!" She said casually.
"We have a hairstylist? Since when? " I asked throwing her a question.
"Since always! Come on you even said the colour your gonna dye your hair just now!" She added.
I am gonna colour my hair in a Bronze shade?!?!? What have I got myself into?
"Uhh. I am not sure!!" I said looking pale.
"You promised, We both will get a new makeover together!" Becky whined a little.
Oh god! What do I do now? When did this happen?
"Alright! Fine." I agreed reluctantly.
"Yay!" Becky squealed and jumped in joy.
"But I have to warn you, It's gonna be a disaster!" I ended on a grim note.
"Oh.. don't be all 'The glass is Half-empty'! We'll look awesome!" She was really hyped while I was still blue.
"If you say so!" I replied instantly.
________________
So we did go to our stylist and got our hair coloured, apparently. Becky decided to go for a darker shade of golden blond and I.. Well, apparently I agreed to go with the Golden bronze.
"Oh my god!" Becky exclaimed.
"How is it? Is it that bad? Please say something?" I asked having a mild panic attack. I waved before her face as she was still not reacting to my question.
"No silly! You look awesome!" She chuckled.
"Seriously?" I wanted some reassuring as I was still in a dilemma about the whole thing.
"Yeah!" So she did the same.
"Okay! Now? Tell me am I good enough to impress anyone? " She asked me with a sly smirk playing along her lips. I knew about whom she was talking about.
Oh..so this whole is thing is about making Liam notice her.
"Anyone? Who?" I snaked my arms around her neck and played dumb.
"Anyone? Do you know? Just random!" She hiding her peachy blushing cheeks casually.
"Right! Well, you look absolutely stunning. I'm sure the anyone you're talking about will be in his knees! I winked sarcastically.
"It's not about Liam. You know?" She threw some draggers with her eyes.
"I didn't say anything! " I shrugged nonchalantly.
"But you're implying it though!" She gave me a side-eye.
"Well.Maybe!" I grinned playfully.
"Okay, we gotta go now! We promised we'll meet the guys at four for the concert!" She quickly changed the topic before I could tease more and get her to spill some more tea.
"Right! I almost forgot that! We better hurry!" I realized she was right and so agreed with her instantly.
We went back to our college. I wore my favourite black top with small white flowers on it. I curled my hair a little bit and left it free. Becky was wearing a close neck blue blouse and had a messy hairdo on with some dewy make upon.
"Where did they disappear?" I held a quizzical expression on my face as we had been waiting for quite some time there. I was getting impatient.
"I don't know! Liam asked us to wait near the entrance of our block." She let a deep sigh looking at her watch for the millionth time and I don't really blame her.
"Hey girls! " I recognized Liam's voice.
"Where is Andrew? " I asked immediately noticing he wasn't with him.
"Okay, It's good to see you too!" Liam sneered.
"Come on, we are late already!" Becky complained again. I didn't wanna go in with Andrew.
"Where the hell is Andrew?" She asked again.
"Uh. He is running a little late but He'll join us in a moment! " He replied looking a bit indifferent, I wonder what they both they hiding.
"He'll meet us directly at the concert," Liam added when she saw me eyeing him intently.
"Alright, then let's go!" Becky pulled me and my walks gave in and went with her.
"Okay!" I sighed.
Honestly, I just wanted to see him. I wonder if he could notice my new look.
We went into the auditorium, apparently, it was the concert hall for the day. The lights were dimmed and the place was crowded with teens. Since the event was held as a Goodbye event for the students from other colleges. No staffs or teachers were there. It was so cool. But there was a surprise for us since they didn't tell who we're gonna play for us.
Everyone was waiting for the event to begin. I was just wondering why it was taking so long for Andrew to come. Becky and Liam were clicking Selfies. I joined them too after a few minutes.
"This is gonna get a ton of likes on Instagram!" Becky giggled taking her phone out of her pockets and she started making a boomerang.
We were all laughing and having the best time. Everything was fine and dandy until I was Jason admits the huge crowd. Suddenly I noticed he was coming towards me and I was a little unnerved.
"Hey, you!" He greeted me out of the blue.
"Hi, Jason! " I greeted him back.
"You look great!" He complimented me checking me out.
He never talks to me before, Okay...this was getting weird!
"Thanks!" I gave out an awkward smile.
"So? Do you wanna like to go out with me sometime?" He asked me out and it threw me off completely. We have known each other but just as acquaintances. I didn't really know him that much to say yes.
"I just need to talk about a lot of stuff! You know?" He added mentioning the other day's incident and I was starting to get uncomfortable again.
But I also know I needed to know what happened too! So maybe I could go just as a friend or something.
"That's a good idea, Jason! I need to know what happened too! " I replied with utmost honesty.
"What?" He was surprised by my answer I guess.
"Yeah, You know..about who did that stupid prank on you? " I whispered slowly.
"Oh, that! Of course." He nodded with realisation.
"So dinner? Tomorrow?" He eyed me hopefully.
"Alright!" I agreed with a small smile.
"Perfect! Then I'll pick you up at 8." He couldn't contain his grin that appeared outta nowhere.
"Okay! Then I'll talk to you later?" I smiled.
"Sure, Bye then!" He waved and went back inside agreed.
I know Andrew would freak if he knows I agreed to go on a dinner with Jason. I mean he wants me to stay away from Jason but I need to know the truth and that means I gotta give him a chance and talk to him. So I might as well just not tell him.
I was glad that Becky and Liam did not see me talking to Jason cause they were out arguing over their favourite band. God, they are so cute!
"June? Where have you been?" Becky approached me from behind?
"Uhh. I was just. Talking to a friend!" I wasn't sure if he was a friend.
"Hello, Ladies!" Andrew put his arms on my shoulders from behind causing me to shudder a little.
"You are late!" I pushed his hand away with a glare.
"And You are pretty!" His lips curled into his signature smirk.
I blushed a little but cursing myself in the process of being too obvious.
"Charming! Now let's go inside!" Becky said eyeing us sarcastically.
"Right!" I agreed to tare my gaze away from him.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TONIGHT WE ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE. WE PRESENT YOU THE MOST AWESOME BAND EVER "THE WANTED"
The curtains on the stage were lifted up and they were on stage. It was so cool. Everyone was giving a loud cheer. The crowd went crazy. Becky and I were jumping in joy. Even the guys seemed excited.
They started off their performance with their hit single "Walks like Rihanna ". The crowd was going wild and it was so crazy. We were all jumping around like crazy people. Becky was singing the Lyrics and I joined her. Our stomach was sore with all the laughing. Liam broke out some of his crazy dance moves that were hilarious.
"I can't believe you won the dance competition!" Becky screamed admits the roaring crowd.
"What's that? I can't hear you!" Liam pretended.
She playfully punched him.
Andrew and I were laughing at them.
"June?" He screamed the name cause of the loud noise in the background.
"What?" I screamed back.
"This is crazy! I can't hear you at all!" He yelled again.
"Come closer!" He suddenly pulled me closer to him.
Ohno..not this again! I fall for his traps always.
"What?" Before I could ask him more I was in his arms and my face was on his chest and the burning feeling on my cheeks again crept in.
"Nothing." He smirked noticing my awkwardness.
"Then let me go?" I said awkwardly.
"No, This is nice!" His oceanic deep blue eyes bored into mine.
My heart melted and I don't wanna argue more.
We were all jumping for the music and the lighting was awesome. There were colourful lights that were flickering according to music. After some time we were all exhausted cause of the dancing and jumping around.
"Guys!!!! My feet hurt!" Becky removed her heels and held them up. Her feet must be killing her, This is why I told her she shouldn't wear that monstrosity. I opted for sneakers. Smart move on my side.
"I am starving!" Liam rubbing his belly like a ten-year-old. These two I tell you.
"Alright let's go get something to eat. The event is about to end anyway! " I suggested an idea.
We came out of the auditorium. And we were walking towards the dining hall.
"Say something?" Liam made a weird request to Becky suddenly.
"Why?" Becky seemed confused.
"Just say something I wanna check my ears after all those screaming!" He was genuinely scared if he had become deaf after that concert.
"Well..you just responded to what I said so I think you'll live!" She rolled her eyes at his dramatic-self.
"Wait. There is a spider on you man!" Andrew joked.
"What??!!? Where?? " Liam freaked out.
"See? You are fine! " Andrew smirked.
"Not cool bro! " He sent a glaring towards him.
Becky and I were laughing the whole time.
"Did you coloured your hair?"Andrew asked silently as we were walking along.
Ahh.Finally! You noticed.
"Yeah. It was all Becky's idea!" I acted coy.
"It looks great on you!" He patted my head like I was a child. I should be offended but I was grinning like a crazy person.
Okay, don't smile like crazy. Chill. Be calm!
"Thanks, I guess!" I pretended like I wasn't feeling like jumping up and down on the bed.
"Why are you being weird today?" He shot me a shocking question suddenly.
I am not! I denied blatantly.
" Yes, You are!" He stressed again.
Not! I acted baffled by him.
Are! He continued.
"I could go on and on!" He added before I could say anything more.
Not! And I'll answer the same no matter how much time you ask me! I mumbled.
Really? He smirked.
Yeah! Now quit bothering me! I said playfully pushing him aside.
You are! See even now? He continued.
Oh god, not again.
I am not! I am just annoyed! I said trying to sound convincing.
Cause you know, You are annoying! I added.
Yeah! That I am! He smirked.
We didn't notice that we stopped walking and we're arguing until Becky called us.
Guys? Can you give it a rest? Becky complained.
Tell him that! He started it! I said glaring at him.
But Andrew was just there smiling at me.
Ahh! I exclaimed, walking away from him.
He is making me so weird. I mean in a good way. But it was really different around him. I felt happy when I saw him, When I thought about him, When I talked to him, even when I argue with him! What was happening to me?
We found a table and I was eating quietly. While Andrew was sitting opposite me and gazing at me. Becky and Liam were talking about the concert.
June? Andrew called.
Hmm? I mumbled.
Why so quiet? He asked looking serious.
And don't say you are not quite! He added looking at me.
Uh..no, I am just hungry! I was blabbing.
Okay! He agreed.
Is this because what happened last night? He asked suddenly.
I was surprised by his question.
Okay, just act normal! Stay cool!
What? No! I denied instantly.
Why do you ask? I asked hesitantly.
No reason! he said looking cool as a cucumber and continued eating.
We were done with our dinner and headed out of the hall.
I loved the past days! Thank you, guys! Liam said looking at Becky and me.
We had the best time! I said looking at Andrew.
Becky? Mind if I walk you to your block? Liam asked.
Becky's cheeks burning up in red.
Sure! she nodded shyly.
Ohno that means I'll be alone with Andrew. Why am I even nervous? It's just him.
I watched as Becky walked beside Liam.
They look nice together? Don't they? Andrew asked as he came closer.
Yea they do! I took a few steps back.
June? He caught my hand.
I loved the four days.. That I spent with you! This has been great! You are like the only girl I can have a decent conversation with! He said looking into my eyes.
I loved the past days too! Thanks for everything! I said smiling.
No goodbye hug? He asked sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes.
He could write a book actually like How to ruin perfect moments?
Don't be a Drama queen! You'll see me next weekend! We have a Workshop remember? I asked with amusement.
It's 7 days from today! He said pouting.
Yay! I said sarcastically.
Don't be so happy! You won't be rid of me that easily! He said pulling me closer.
I know! I said looking at him.
Good night June! He said as he pulled me into a hug.
Good night Andrew! I said hugging him back tighter.
That was it! Our ICM was over! No more partying, no more Dressing up! No more dining with Andrew and Liam, No more constant bickering with Andrew! I gotta say those thoughts made me sad. I got really close to them in a really short period of time.
Especially Andrew!
I'll miss Him. I'll miss spending time with him. I'll miss his snarky comments. I'll miss his smile.
All the events from the past days were running in a sequence. The thought of not being around him made me sad.
