Francis was short of words, he was lost, what could he possibly do to prove he was madly head over heels with the girl in front of him.

"You know what, forget what I said. I don't know where that came from,I'm  sorry." Sophie uttered taking to her heels. But before she could successfully run out, Francis dragged her by the hand and surprisingly kissed her on the lips.

"What was that for?" Sophie asked surprised and blushing.

"You said I should prove I'm  in love with you, right? I've proved it," Francis said smirking.

Blushing, Sophie blurted,"that doesn't prove a damn thing, for all I know you can and probably have kissed a dozen girls, so this clearly doesn't mean a thing to you."

Francis surprised by the outburst ran his fingers through his hair.

'I shouldn't have said that, I should have shut up after uttering the nonsense of proving love. Gosh! Why is it that when I'm  around him,I always sound cheesy

"I didn't know you viewed me that way, it hurts you know," he said putting a hand on his chest acting hurt.

"But is true isn't it?" Sophie asked before she could stop herself.

"No, your literally the only girl I've kissed," Francis said blushing and shuffling his leg.

"Literally? What does that mean?" Sophie said very convinced that the mouth she was using to talk wasn't hers even though the voice sounded like hers.

"By literally, I mean your the only girl I have actually kissed except my mom and sister."

"Oh! Sorry?" Sophie said or asked not actually knowing what else to say.

"Don't oh me, I'm actually proud of it and don't actually regret it since the person who stole my first kiss is the one I'm  head over heels with," Francis said giving Sophie one of his award winning smile.

"I need to leave, my absence might be missed," Sophie said taking a look at her surroundings and realizing that her classmates had left the class and the school was silent which meant they had dismissed and other classes had gone for their holiday break.

"Were too engrossed in ourselves, we lost track of time, I won't be coming to school tomorrow so later, I"ll miss you."

"Is just a day you won't see me that's not long enough for you to miss me," she said smirking.

"You don't seem to get it, do you?" he asked with a flash of pain and sadness crossing his bright black eyes.

"Maybe, gotta go," she said shrugging.

"Wait," he said dragging her to his chest and looking deeply into her eyes. "I love you and your mine."

With that Sophie left the class, confused by the last word Francis said.

'Was that a hint of possessiveness I heard in his voice. I hope not, cause I don't want anyone claiming me, I'm nobody's property'

Sophie was happy deep down and knew why even though she mentally denied it but she couldn't help but smile till her cheeks turned red and hurt a little but all efforts to stop smiling was futile.

Ma Rebecca their matron saw Francis with her maybe she was surprised but didn't show any sign of surprise, Sophie just prayed she wouldn't ask her about Francis cause she knew she couldn't lie to her and she wanted to.........

"This one you are smiling like this," Amy asked bringing Sophie back to reality.

"Nothing, just happy. Haven't you seen me smiling like this before?" Sophie asked still smiling.

"No, I haven't. Is cause of Francis, right?" Amy asked teasing.

"Your not serious, whenever I'm  happy, you go on saying it's cause of Francis even when am sad. Can't I be happy without him?" Sophie asked pressing her cheeks and feigning annoyance.

"Nope," Amy said teasingly.

"Your crazy," Sophie said chuckling.

"You are insane."

"Please leave me alone," she said giggling while walking out.

Amy was one of the few people who loved seeing Francis and Sophie together and helped reconciling them whenever they had a heated disagreement.

She was the second and first born of the girls in her family. She was dark in colour, average height, plump and food was her first friend.

She was a jovial and sometimes annoying girl and was always hungry as a hunter.
