The cafeteria was buzzing with hungry students as usual walking tro and fro finding their usual cliques to sit with on the round and square shaped tables.
But this ti around, sothing was different.
They were all giving side glances.
Hadn’t they had their full of sly looks this morning? I wondered, still beside Naomi. We were walking toward the queue to get our own food.
"So...when are you going to et him?" Naomi asked, bringing my attention to another topic that had taken residence in my head.
Since Adam had ntioned and planted the motion that he wanted to see during the lunch break, I’ve been spacing out a lot, my thoughts especially wandering in the direction of the hot dream that I had of him this morning, just before he had stepped into the class.
Had the dream possess so kind of attractive composition about it that had enticed and made him to say that statent? Because I don’t see why he would say sothing like that in front of the whole class, not minding that Claire was there with us.
It was obvious, well at least to , by the look in his eyes that the last thing he wanted to talk about was so damn party. He wanted to kiss , maybe even fuck .
Would I let him? That is the question that has been brewing in my mind all this while. Would I let Adam fuck ?
"You have spaced out again. It is good that you are actually leaving. I don’t know where your mind would be if you were actually still staying here. Adam would have really made a ss of you." Naomi ntioned, and for a second, I got annoyed that she would say sothing like that.
"Don’t go giving that face. I am the one that has been talking all this while and you keep ghosting or spacing out on . What are you thinking, if it’s not about Adam? Don’t you lie to . I know you like him more than you wish to. The guy is hot. I don’t bla you. But don’t sideline because of that. Although, I am afraid that’s what would have happened if you were staying longer. You would have sidelined till he was done with you." Naomi said. She must have noticed the annoyed look earlier on my face then.
After her mild outburst which sohow had maintained that low octave of hers, I sighed, holding her by shoulder.
She was not pouting, just facing the other way. A sign that she was really annoyed with my occasional space outs. I
should get a grip on myself. I mused, hugging her suddenly to myself, surprising her and the other queue liners.
"I’m sorry, Naomi. It’s just that this is the first ti I am getting attention from a guy, who turns out to be Adam, one of the hottest boy that has ever lived, and it feels so surreal and overwhelming that I can’t believe it sotis. I imagine and re-imagine a lot, and then wonder if my life has really turned out to be better in a day since I t you-reasons for the spacing out-and I am so sorry about that. I really am. From now on, I promise not to space out again." I whispered into her ears, chuckling when she gave a light jab on my stomach.
"You are forgiven then. Your forgiveness only stands though if you keep your side of the deal. Deal?" She asked.
"Yeah, deal." I answered.
"Good. Now, let’s get so food and get out of here." She said, but then clicked her tongue as if rembering sothing.
"You know you never answered my question. Are you going to see him now or later?" She queried and I shrugged. "I don’t know yet. Still contemplating."
There was a ruckus from behind us in the queue, and we turned around, I and Naomi, her mouth opening slightly in surprise when we saw Adam pushing his way forward. Adam never joins the queue. What was he doing here?
"Hey, Maya...I rember ntioning that you should et on the terrace during lunch break. Why are you here?" He asked imdiately when he got to , his hands hidden in the front pockets of his black denim jeans.
"I..uuhh..just thought I would eat first." I replied, overcoming the stuttering madness.
"Don’t worry about that. I already ordered for you. Let’s go." He said, never taking his eyes off . I gulped down saliva, letting my eyes roam everywhere but at him.
His gaze was making mushy and uncomfortable. What sort of attention is this? As usual, the others in the cafeteria were looking at us.
I could see his brothers and their normal clique staring right at us.
Claire was huffing in anger, but she sat there, unable to do anything. But what could she do?
Nothing.
I liked that.
I felt a pinch on my elbow.
Naomi of course, reminding that Adam was still waiting for an answer, not wanting to drag out of here and answer a query to his father in case soone reported to the man that he was bullying .
"Huhhh, okay..lead the way." I finally answered, inhaling deeply.
This was it.
Going into the unknown with Adam.
