When her phone buzzed on the table next to her with a message from her friend.
"Talk to him today or pay me the bet"
"I will tell him my feelings when he tells me he likes me back, that would be romantic, wouldn't it?", Vivienne cupped her face smiling ear to ear and drooling over the romance that's going to happen between Dan and her.
"Ugh, please stop talking"
Vivienne laughed silently as she read the message and typed an answer.
"I don't think he'd even notice me, I have to wait until he's ready…"
"I hope so".
"Don't worry", Vivienne assured as she sent a quick reply to her friend before putting down her cup of juice and standing up to walk to the classroom.
As she opened the double doors leading outside, she saw a girl with long brown hair tied in a ponytail and glasses sitting on the stairs leaning against the wall, holding her bag.
"Oh see the senior has made a girlfriend", the classmates whispered among each other as they looked over at him.
"I wonder if it is her we saw this morning", another student said as they pointed toward him.
"Oh, you mean the guy?"
"Yes… she is the popular student in his art class"
Vivienne couldn't believe the classmate's words until she saw the couple hanging out in front of the school. Her hand flew over her mouth in shock at what she saw.
"How can you tell they are dating?"
"Can't you see the senior is holding her bag and they both look cute together?"
"Are you saying the other one is cute?"
"Yes. Now, can we please get to class, or am I going to have to explain to her what a real date is like?"
Sighs——-
"Come on then Vivienne, stop looking at them", her friend grabbed her backpack and pulled out of the trance of heartbreak.
"Let's go"
"Wait, I want to make myself soak in these feelings"
"Just one more moment"
"Forget it, Vivienne, just get the hell out of here"
Vivienne was still shocked when Dan turned around and saw her staring. As soon as their eyes locked, he averted his gaze and continued walking.
