CHAPTER sixteen; the sad confession

The rest of Lara’s birthday at School was normal.

Let us skip to Dismissal…

Baekhyun: Hey Lara!

Lara: Hm? *looks at Baekhyun with a smile on her face*

Baekhyun: Can I walk yo—

Luhan: *walks towards Lara* Lara!

Lara: *looks at Luhan* Oh, hey there *smiles*

Luhan: I was wondering if I can walk you home if it’s alright with you

Lara: well… *looks at both of the men*

Luhan: *smiles at her then glances at Baekhyun*

Baekhyun: *glares at Luhan*

Lara: I… I don’t know…

Jaja: excuse me boys, I’ll be taking Lara home.. *grabs Lara by the arm*

Lara: Sorry guys, I kinda promised her some girl bonding… Maybe next time? *smiles awkwardly*

Baekhyun: It’s okay, Lara. I’ll be seeing you tomorrow then. Enjoy the rest of the day *smiles and approaches In-na*

Lara: *looks at them and sighs*

Luhan: Don’t look at them *lifts her chin up to face him* I can’t risk seeing you like that…

Jaja: *stares at the two being all sweet*

Lara: *gulps* I’m… not…even…

Luhan: hurt? *rolls his eyes and kisses her forehead* your eyes say more than your words, Lara *closes his eyes as he enjoys the alluring scent of Lara’s hair*

Lara: *looks at the ground* is this the feeling when a boy lets you know that he cares?

Baekhyun: *curiously looks at Luhan and Lara* Look at them… *despises the scene*

In-na: *presses her lips together* hmm… they look good together… *smiles*

Baekhyun: *glares at In-na*

In-na: *looks at Baekhyun* What? I’m being honest here *chuckles a bit*

Baekhyun: Meh, I don’t feel the chemistry around those two…

In-na: Whatever Baekhyun. You confuse me *walks away with Ahra*

Chanyeol:  Why can’t you just admit it?

Baekhyun: Admit what? *furrows his brows*

Chanyeol: That you’re jealous….

Baekhyun: There’s nothing to admit about that…. *shook his head*

Chanyeol: Whatever you say, Baekhyun *pats his back* But, this is just an opinion okay? Don’t go all bazoobs when you hear me say this. I think… Your heart says you want In-na but you need Lara…

Baekhyun: want and need doesn’t have much difference

Chanyeol: Then you must be stupid *chuckles*

Baekhyun: *rolls his eyes*

Chanyeol: You’re going to regret it Baekhyun.. *grabs the straps of his backpack* see ya! *walks ahead*

Baekhyun: Regret what? *totally confused*

Lara and Jaja walking home…

Jaja: Anything special that happened awhile ago?

Lara: Morning was fantastic but dismissal …

Jaja: well I’m sorry

Lara: no, it’s not your fault. Baekhyun is just…

Jaja: Why?

Lara: I feel like… he just pities me. He’s sweet around me because he doesn’t want to break my heart and pities me because he couldn’t return my love…

Jaja: Don’t be so pessimistic, Lara *giggles* Baekhyun likes you, just give him time to figure that out

Lara: If he does, then why don’t I feel?

Jaja: Because all you ever see is when Baek’s with In-na… You have no idea how much he talks about you when you’re not around…

Lara: He probably talks about me negatively…

Jaja: *shakes her head and clears her t
