Chapter 9
Who Should I choose?
Sparrow’s POV
JR confessed to me, WOW! That’s surprising, I mean we only met a few weeks ago, maybe a month. That’s a pretty quick time to like someone. But then L.Joe comes in to the picture, he said I had and still have a place in his heart. What am I going to do? What’s in me to make two boys fall for me? I don’t want to hurt either, though the latter really deserved it, but I won’t have the heart to do it. I’m not sure how I feel myself! I don't know if I feel the same to any of the boys. Looking at JR, how would I know I like him? Can anybody give me advice? Where’s the fairy god-mother when you need one.
Let’s focus on the current situation,
“Let’s go to the library, you haven’t been to the library yet right?”
“Oh yeah, this place has a library! Is it good? Crowded?”
“The library crowded? Wow, that would be a miracle. Only little children go there and the people like me go there to read and get some quiet time,”
“People like you? Awesome and sweet people, you mean?”
I blushed, he is such a sweet talker!
“Flatterer! You know what I mean by people like me, okays. Not the popular girls!”
“It’s a good place to study then,” he pointed in the air like he solved a major problem, “I like quiet, not crowded places,”
~At the library~
We got a table near the glass windows.
I studied biology, he studied chemistry. “JR, what’s this question asking for? I don’t get it,” “Lemme see, it’s ~~~~~~~,” I gave him a blank look, “well, look at it this way, ~~~~~~~, get it now?” When I looked up, he did too and we were caught in a moment of ‘searching each others’ souls’ as what dramas would say. I have to say, it was a good feeling, it’s like we or maybe I saw an entire universe in those orbs of brown. There was like something in me that clicked. It was like eternity then we looked away. I heated up, blush blush blush. “You get it now?” JR asked, rubbing his nape. “Yeah, urm thanks,” I replied, making as little eye contact as I could. We went back to our work.
*~~~~~~~~ means he's explaining
JR’s POV
We had so many eye contacts, it did feel awkward to some extent but you know my situation, I like her, it feels so blissful. I wonder if she feels the same? She keeps blushing. Cute.
When she wasn’t looking, I looked up and see her studying. The way she studies is really adorable to look at. When she meets a difficult question, she would scrunch her eyebrows, tap her pen against her cheek, pushing her lips to one side. She would stare out at the open space, as if her ‘brain’ is like a ipad, swiping the ‘screens’ with her pen, tapping the empty space. She would go ‘ahhh’ or ‘oohhh’ or talk a bit to herself, when she solves the question. She looks really pretty. I wish I could give her a make over, take those nerdy looks, the old-fashioned bits on her. Make her a WOW factor, so that everyone knows who she really is. But that would be letting my catch run away, I sound selfish. Nevermind that…
Sparrow’s POV
About 3 hours past and the sun was going back home. I yawned and look out to see the daily art show in the sky, “JR look,” I said sleepily. I turned to see if he was looking. Guess what I found? He was sleeping, with his pen in his hand still. I laughed to myself, he looked so perfect there, feature of his face looked like it had been made with the perfect dimensions and lengths. He looked amazing like the sunset. I grabbed my phone and snapped a picture. I rested my head on my palm, looking at him still. Something was rising in me, like love, my mind told me. My free hand unconsciously went to his hair, soft and smooth. It went to trace his face lightly, careful not to wake him up. He was a rather deep sleeper. I smiled dreamily to myself. Do I love him?
My phone rang, that woke him up. Abruptly. He shot up from his chair, eyes wide open, alarmed. I laughed and picked up the phone. Mom's back!
