Chapter 8 - 3| Unrequested Invite

I was waiting for the bus to come so I could go home, while waiting under the shade, I saw Dereck passed by and stand beside me. He seems to be waiting for the same bus as me. Wait, have we taken the bus together since before? I don't think I can remember though.

The bus arrived finally and he stepped on. I contemplated for a lot of seconds. He's on the bus, If we happen to take the same bus all these times then none of it would be weird right? But why am I not taking a step on the bus? It wasn't a problem before! but why am I worrying now that I know he existed?!

"Miss? Are you coming in?" The bus driver asked.

"Ah, it's okay, someone's coming to pick me up, you can go ahead, sir" I said.

I shook my head down, acting as if I had something to see on my shoes. What the hell?! I think i'll be walking for today, great!

...

"Excuse me Mrs. Akir, Miss Sal sent me here to pick up the cable wire used for the T.V." I said

For context; My teacher had asked me to fetch some thing from Class B

"Oh yeah, about that, I actuallty forgot to bring mine right now, but I know there is an extra one at the Office, Erm... Dereck would you mind helpong her get the wires? It was left at the top of the cabinet last time".

Wait who?

WAIT WHO?!

"Not a problem Ma'am" 

Oh my good heavens, I'm walking with Dereck! The high and almighty Dereck whose qualities i've already forgot but It still screams to me that he is the worshipped dog by many. Please don't let anyone see me with him, especially those-

...

"You're with Dereck! How did it happened?"

"We were shocked girl! VERY!"

"It was just a simple errand from Miss Sal, nothing much" I said

"What do you mean it was nothing?! That's every girls' dreams Sunny! to be alone with their crush and strike up some conversation!! Woww"

"So what did you two talk about?"

Hmm.. It was actually not much.... It went like this;

"How many?" He's asking about the wires.

"2 please"

...

"Wow, you're hopeless Sunny"

Am I really that hopeless?

...

I was waiting for the bus again, thankfully this time, it came early and I got on pretty quickly.

"..."

He's on the bus already.

...

It's raining so hard. what should I do, I don't want it to be dramatic. Oh no, I'm sweating! Act cool, act cool.

The moment the bus stopped, I hurriedly got off and walked straight, not even fazed by the heavy rain and didn't looked back.

Dereck's POV:

Why did she took off without using her umbrella?

...

Yeah I literally cried at home after I noticed my umbrella at the side pocket of my bag. I hoped and prayed no one saw that.
