Chapter 3 Jealous

Chapter 3

"3pm Practice again! You have 3 hours free time."

I stood on the bench and took my bag. I went to the side of the gym, where hand washing is done every time there is a visitor to the school.

When I arrived, I put my bag down on the clean pavement. I also fixed my hair so it must have been washed.

The weather was hot because it was around 11 am so I spent almost an hour washing. I have turned off the tap. I was about to bend down to get a towel from my bag but someone reached for me.

My eyes traveled to his high hand and his muscular arm with his biceps almost sticking out of his clothes. The veins are also visible. I swallowed and looked up at the face of the person who handed me the towel. To my surprise, it was Ellandro!

Even though I'm tall, it's still getting bigger. I'm up to his neck!

I took the towel from him. "Thank you"

I immediately wiped my face. I can still feel his stares. His gaze was cold but there was something else there that I couldn't name what.

"Here. Thank you." I said and handed him the towel again. He quickly shook his head.

"Just take that." he said in his cold voice. I smiled bitterly. I just took my bag and put the towel inside, which he gave me.

I ignored him and just passed it. I walked in any direction and I could still feel it following me.

What the heck? He's going in my direction too?! Right! Maybe he just felt good because last night. He's a billionaire anyway, it must hurt his ego because I paid for his 10 pesos ride even though he has much more money than me. That's exactly the problem! That's why I paid because of the amount of money he had! Seriously? Just pay 10 pesos and then give a thousand?

Well, I wouldn't have done that either if it wasn't for my sorry! Sorry is not enough for him. His art is that I have to kneel just for the dare kiss!

I reached the bench that I had placed my things on a while ago. I sat there and sighed when I saw that Ellandro was gone.

I don't know what I'm feeling right now. It's just that, my heart always beats so fast whenever he's around me. I might just be nervous because of what I did.

I closed my eyes and felt a little wind. Of course I feel the heat of the weather more. It's a good thing and the place where I'm sitting is covered by a big tree so I don't get too hot.

I felt someone sitting next to me. Not so close and not so far. Our distance is just right. I smelled his familiar expensive manly perfume. I just glanced at him. I feel its gaze.

"Here." he said and handed me an ice cream. My face warmed up when I accepted it.

"What's this?" seriously Fhior? It's obviously an ice cream!

"Ice cream."

"I-I mean... Why are you giving this to me?" I said embarrassedly.

"Because it's hot." he answered sparingly. I nodded and kept quiet. It already ate the ice cream so I started eating mine. I still noticed his glance, but it was better if he looked ahead.

The ice cream is so good! Of course, my favorite flavor is cookies and cream! No more sweating, which is good.

"Are you being good to me now because of yesterday?" I suddenly asked without looking at him.

"Nope. I just wanted to treat you. Why are you asking?" I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Aren't you angry at what I did?" I asked after a few minutes. This time, I turned on him.

"What did you do?" This question came back as if you suddenly had amnesia.

My face was hot. "The k-kiss."

His brows suddenly narrowed. His stare became colder. I nervously looked away.

"It was just really a dare?" he annoyingly asked. I quickly nodded and looked at him again.

"Uh-Yes! That's just a dare, promise! It doesn't mean anything!" I said immediately. He seemed disappointed and looked away. I frowned at his reaction.

"Shh."

Ellandro said goodbye to me a while ago because his basketball teammates called him. I didn't even know that he was involved in basketball. I thought that his snobber, that type who doesn't want to mix with people because they think of themselves too high, but I was wrong. It turns out that he is not a snobber, he just speaks coldly and doesn't pay much attention to the people around him, so he is mistaken for a snobber.

It's true what they say that it's not easy to read his thoughts because his moods vary. Like earlier, suddenly became nice. One after another with me. So it's a bit surprising and many people like him, especially because of his handsome face and body.

After resting, thought about whether to go to the swimming pool inside another gym. Because there are two gyms here.

The pool was nearby so I got there quickly. I immediately found Karen on the bench, wiping herself with a towel. I approached them and noticed that there was a man with him.

"Karen!" I called here as soon as I got close to his direction. He turned to me as well as the man with him.

"Oh? You arrived just now?" Karen continued to wipe herself.

"I rested for a while before coming here." I said.

My eyes turned to the man with Karen. It stared at me and the eyes were still innocent. He is handsome and tall but a bit thin. He's cute. He looks like a tota when he stares.

Karen noticed that her partner and I were staring at each other and wondering at each other.

"Uh- Fhior, Erolle is my cousin, from another school. Erolle Fhioresca is my classmate and friend." Karen introduced us both.

"Dress me." He still said goodbye, I guess his cousin left us both.

"Hi Erolle!" I greeted and smiled. She shyly smiled back.

"H-Hello."

No one spoke to us. There was silence between us until Karen came back dressed in a PE uniform.

"Fhior, I will accompany this Erolle to the covered court. He has to go see his brother. Then we will have lunch together." here. I nodded.

Karen walked first. Erolle and I followed behind him. It's awkward because he won't speak. Obviously shy.

"Uh, your brother studies here?" I will ask. He glanced at me and nodded.

"Y-yeah"

Silence intervened. This is hard! Not very verbal so it's hard to talk to. One question one answer?

"He's on the basketball team right?" I asked.

"Yes."

I didn't have anything else to ask so I didn't say a word. We reached the covered court. It was like cold water was poured on me when I remembered that Ellandro was also on the Basketball team.

We headed to the benches. We sat together. Erolle and Karen put me in between. I took a deep breath.

My eyes immediately landed in the direction of those playing basketball. I immediately found Ellandro, running and sweating. He looks so hot- What?!

Feel the intense tension in their practice match. Their opponent, Ellandro, is obviously not from here in our school.

"Are those your school mates?" I asked Erolle and pointed to their opponents Ellandro.

"Yes." he answered. That's why he's not here.

Their game is over. Karen and Erolle immediately stood up and approached one of Ellandro's team members. I also went with them.

I saw Ellandro staring at me intently but I just ignored him.

"Are you Erolle?" Erolle's older brother asked. Pay attention if his eyes landed immediately in my direction and grinned.

"Mama is telling you to go home. Dad is also very angry because you even got your own condo to be away from them!" Erolle said and raised his eyebrows. Even though he looks angry, his face looks kind and shy. I just wanted to laugh but I felt the heavy tension between the siblings. I kept quiet.

"Chill, Erolle! I'm going home too!" said his older brother, waking up and glancing at me again.

What is that? I'm your type?!

"Going home? when? Until Papa gets sick all the time because of you?!" Erolle said angrily and stormed away towards his school mates.

Karen's face was angry when she came next to me. Erolle's older brother came over.

"Hi, Fhior!" it greets. My eyes widened in shock.

"You know me?!"

"Of course. Who wouldn't recognize you? You're famous here because of what you did and tyaka... It's beautiful." he said and winked. I couldn't hide my grimace.

"Arelle by the way" he introduced himself and held out his hand. I accepted that and faked a smile. Looks like a playboy!

I was about to release our grip but suddenly someone shouted from behind.

"Arelle! We need to go now!"

it was Ellandro's voice. I immediately withdrew my hand from Arelle and looked behind me. I immediately saw Ellandro's cold look at me. He looked down at my hand and his cold gaze shifted to Arelle.

"How is that? I need to go. See you around, Fhior." Arelle said goodbye to me. I just smiled at him and he left.

Karen, who had been silent for a while, giggled.

"Someone is jealous!" he said and walked out of the court first. I frowned in surprise.

I quickly caught up with Karen. We went together towards the gate. We even met Jerson who had just left a gym with his volleyball teammates.

"Jerson!" Karen called and waved in his direction. Jerson quickly noticed us and spoke to his companions before heading towards us.

"Are you with me? Lunch at a nearby restaurant." I said. He hesitated to nod.

"All right." Jerson answered later.

"Don't worry. My treat." I added. The eyes of the two twinkled.

We left school together. Jerson next to me was still looking at him because he was still wearing a Jersey. But again, he's handsome so even though his forehead is full of sweats he even looks hotter. And it can't be denied that it also smells good even after sweating! That's probably the reason why many people like him.

Maybe because of his handsomeness, there are also many of his fans who are angry with me or jealous because I am closer to him. It's also no wonder that Karen is not scolded and jealous even though she and Jerson are close, because she won't talk to anyone other than us. Maybe that's why he's just mistaken for kind and quiet, compared to me who is said to be artistic and proud of himself just because he's rich. I'm not proud of myself! That's really all they see of me. But artistic? Yes. But only a little.

"Fhior, Ellandro's eyes on you oh!" Jerson suddenly whispered, jumping at me in shock.

I immediately looked around and saw him ahead with his basketball teammates.

What are they doing here and they are here outside the school?

I could feel Ellandro's cold gaze on me, as if I had committed a huge sin. His gaze never left me even when his companions were talking to him. I just looked straight ahead even though I could still see him on the side. Gag*! We will pass him!

"Perhaps his gaze will make you faint, Fhior!" Karen giggled. I made him suffer.
