2451 Words
Audrey's P.O.V : "So, Damien huh?" B said wiggling her eyebrows at me, sitting down in front of me on the dining table plopping her elbow onto the table and her head on her palm, coming ridiculously close to my face while I was having breakfast. "Yea what about him?" I asked stuffing my face with coco pops. "He is handsome, isn't he?" she asked with a devilish smile on her face which confused me. "Umm... yea he is pretty" I said, wiping the milk off the corner of my mouth with the back of my palm. "Pretty Audrey seriously pretty?" she said looking at me incredulously. "Umm...yea .... pretty" I said confused as to why she was giving me that 'are you stupid?' look. "Rey darlin you are such a bad flirt. You would be hurting the man's ego if you call him pretty. Men don't like being called pretty" B said. "But why? being called pretty is a good thing" I said "Yes, but men are to be called things like handsome, Charming, charismatic, hot, rough, buff, sexy not pretty " B explained. "Oh okay... I guess" I said still confused as to why men can't be pretty. "Okay so you like Damien, don't you?" she said wiggling her eyebrows again. "Yea I like him. He helps me a lot and he loves my baking" I said. "Oh no stupid that's not what I meant, I meant, you like like him don't you?" Oh, that's what she means. I have to admit, thinking about him this way does give me butterflies in my stomach and I feel blood rush to my cheeks. "Oh my god you're blushing your cheeky little minx, you have a big crush on Damien Clarke" she exclaimed, I quickly finished my last spoon of the coco pops and quickly got up keeping the bowl in the sink and rushed towards my bedroom. I have a crush on Damien and I can't stop thinking about it. My face is as red as a tomato right now. I was in the process of putting on my left sneakers while thinking about my crush on Damien when I felt something fluffy brushing my left foot. Looking down I saw it was my tiny, cute little cat, cocoa and I picked him up. "Hey cocoa, where are you nowadays? I don't see you around much these days and most importantly I haven't smelled your poo for a while in my room, did my cocoa finally learn how to do his business in its pot?" I asked in a baby voice and he just meowed snuggling closer to me. I am weird, and I know it. I glanced at the clock and I saw I was getting late for college, so I quickly finished putting on my sneakers quickly and got up but just as I was about to walk out the door cocoa snuggled against my foot again. "Hey cocoa I need to go now so leave my foot baby" I cooed at the cat. However, cocoa didn't let go. "Cocoa I am getting late" I said. Cocoa still didn't let go. "Cocoa please let go now" I tried again but the cat stood his ground. I bend down and tried prying his little paws off my foot, but he would just latch onto my foot again. The cat wasn't letting go of me. I tried to shake him off my foot, but it still won't let go so I tried walking in hopes he would get the damn idea, but the cat just wrapped it paws tighter around my foot. I looked down at him again and saw him looking up at me with innocent huge chocolate brown pools of eyes as if pleading me to not go and I have been a sucker for puppy dog eyes, well, in this case, the... Umm...the ...yes! Kitty cat eyes. Maybe I should take him with me, just today. I mean it has been a while since I saw him, and he is such an adorable little fluff ball, he won't be of much trouble anyways and I am sure I can sneak him into the college with me. It's just that I really have missed him and wanna spend time with him. With that self-debate, I concluded that cocoa is coming to the college with me for the day. I took out my big bag out of my closet and shifted my things from my other bad to the bigger one. Lastly, I placed cocoa in the middle compartment of the bag, leaving it open a little so the cat could at least poke its head out from time to time. I took a deep breath and went downstairs to the driveway, where Brandon was waiting for me in the car and I got in and strapped myself. "kitty in, in kitty" I whispered to the cat in my bag who was continuously poking his head out of the bag, so I closed the zip a little more, so its head wouldn't come in anyone's view. I silently made my way into the first class I had which was English. This was a class that Amy and I shared. I made my way to the last bench in the class and took a seat. Not long after the class started filling up and Amy to come into the class taking the seat right beside me and after all the students were settled, in came Mrs. Burke a, the lady was a very beautiful woman with just as ugly soul. "Okay students, carry on with the same assignment that I assigned you yesterday, I want it complete and on my desk by the end of this lesson or else don't bother to show me your sorry little faces in the end because this assignment holds twenty-five percent weightage in your annual results" she said with kind of a smoldering look which brought out her perfect cheekbones. She was honestly what a man fantasizes about with her red hair, straight nose, high cheekbones, ruby lips, long legs which looked longer in her pencil skirt and the black rimmed glasses sitting on her nose which made her look smart. She is what one would call a devil in disguise. Good thing I completed my assignment in yesterday's class, meaning I get to play with cocoa. As everyone got on with their assignment, I carefully lifted up my bag and brought it to my lap. Then I opened the compartment enough for cocoa to peak his head out. He is so cuttteeee. I started petting his head and the cute little whiskers as it nuzzled its cute little face in my hand, occasionally licking it with his cute little pink tongue. "Audrey what are you d....." Amy began but stopped mid-sentence as she saw cocoa poking his head out of the zip and Amy's eyes went as huge as flying saucers. "Audrey what the Fu..." Amy began loudly but I shushed her, however, owl ears Mrs. Burke heard her. "Audrey and Amy, you girls have something to share with the class" Mrs. Burke spoke up. "No Mrs.Burke sorry" Amy apologized, and I made an apologetic face as well. "Thought so, now maintain silence and complete the task at hand" she said and then went back to her phone. Phew. As I was going to carry on with petting cocoa Amy nudged a paper note towards me. 'what the hell were you thinking bringing him!' she wrote, I could almost hear her voice shouting in my mind. 'well. ya know how cute cocoa is so when he came into my room this morning he was all cute and fluffy and when I got up he won't let my leg go .... so, I brought him with me :)' I wrote 'that is no excuse to bring the damn cat with you to college! what if someone catches you, you know how strict the college rules are here ' she replied, she was right. 'Umm... I don't know I hide him pretty well... I am sure it'll be alright' I wrote 'I'll take your word for it...' she wrote, and I smiled at her. It was now the second last lesson of the day. So far, I have been successful in hiding cocoa, with some difficulty but it was totally worth it since I got to play with him in the boring history lessons. As I was heading to my second last lesson which is apparently physics, another boring subject, the college's dean's voice boomed through the intercom making me wince and cocoa to let out a slight mewl. "Attention everyone" "All the students of year 1 who take physics in room 23 are required to go to room 30 AP physics wing A class since there is a merger of the two-class due to some renovation going on in room 23, hopefully, year 1 students would learn something new from AP physics. Thank you" Just great ...... Now I have to find that room in wing A. Walking in the wing A with the heavy bag on my shoulders, searching for room 30 I was already exhausted. Yes, that's how unfit I am. No stamina, none at all. "Oh, hey cute butt" someone said from beside me. I turned my head and was met with a smirking Rohan. Finally, someone I know. "Oh, hey Ryan. How are you?" I asked smiling up at him. "l am as fit as a horse, what about you?" he asked giving me a boyish grin. He is kinda cute. " I am good. Just need a little bit of exercise here and there to build up my stamina" I said. "Oooh .... stamina for what huh?" he asked in a teasing tone and I looked up at him confused. "Ya know just to walk, you see the walk to the AP physics room has worn me out which is not a good thing because I am young, and I should have more stamina" I said "Right......... oh your class is merging with ours, good thing I'll take you with me" he said. "oh, thank god, I don't have to go looking more" I said sighing in relief. As soon as we reached the class I took the last bench whereas Rohan took the bench which was on the right corner, just opposite of mine and he seemed to be waiting for someone. eh. I looked down at my bag again where cocoa's whiskers were poking out from. He must be hungry, he hasn't eaten anything since morning, I'll feed him. Coming to that conclusion I took out the little cat food tin which I grabbed on my way out of the house but just as I was about to open the tin can Rohan shouted; "Hey bro, Damien back over here, saved a seat before the first years came swamping in" ...... and all my attention diverted towards the direction Rohan shouted in and right there was Damien, seeing him gave me butterflies in my stomach and it was a really foreign feeling, nonetheless a really pleasant feeling. He must have felt my eyes on him because he looked directly in my direction as he got to his bench and me being me I manically, over-excitedly waved my hand in his direction with a huge grin plastered on my face to which Damien just nodded in acknowledgment, I realized how stupid that made me look later when I saw people looking at me like I have a unicorn horn growing out of my forehead , how cool would that be ? A multicolored unicorn horn growing out of my forehead, I could defeat Braxton with that ...huh a multicolored unicorn horn on my forehead is going on my wishlist definitely, I mea....... I was cut out of my thoughts when the AP physics professor I didn't know the name of came in the class and said good afternoon. I ignored the rest he said. As everyone was taking out their books and binders I looked down at the can that was still in my hand and opened it. Next, I opened the zip of my bag a little more so that I could feed the little chips of cat food to cocoa which he gladly and hungrily accepted. Everything was going well, I was feeding cocoa, both of us were happy but that was until the plastic cap of the tin fell to the ground from my lap and just for a split second, I swear just for a split second crouched down to grab the cap and when sat back straight again and looked down in my bag ....... cocoa was gone. Oh HOLLY MACARONIS. I kept the cat food in the bag and quickly started searching for the cat from my seat taking a peek under everybody's desks, crouching over and looking in the front desks. Then I looked under the right side benches and that's when I made I contact with Damien. I guess he picked up on the fact something was wrong from my facial expressions because he signaled me with his hand with a questioning look and I mouthed cat to him, trying really hard to explain my situation but that ended soon. " Whose cat is this?" I heard the question coming from in front of the class and I took a huge gulp and turned my head to the front where the professor was holding little cocoa from the scruff. "He is so cute!" someone gushed. I know right that's why I brought him. " I am gonna ask again, whose cat is this?" the professor asked looking around the class. ah oh. I slowly stood up from my seat. "it's mine" I said but the thing is I wasn't the only one who said it, a more masculine voice came out with mine. Do I have a sore throat? "both of yours?" the professor asked confused. I looked to the right and saw Damien standing at his seat as well and realization dawned upon me. "umm... yeah like we meant it's ours you know" he said making random hand gestures. He is trying to help me ......... my crush on him just doubled. "I don't have time for this, you both can take this cat to the dean's office and he'll sort the matter out because you guys have clearly lost it bringing a cat to college" the professor said, annoyed and angry and I gulped. I bet I would be crying right now if this anger was directed only towards me but here, Damien is with me. ^o^ ^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^o^^3^^o^^o^^o^^o^
