24 Chapter 23: Emotions all over

As I'm dragging George away his fingers slither in to mine and he strongly turns me around, hands still interlocked. Saying nothing, he steps confidently towards me. My body reacted and I continued to move back until I hit ,smack, against the wall. I felt squirmish for some reason and avoided eye contact. When I attempted to escape his left arm blocked it, landing closely near my face, which was now becoming hot. I was trapped, enclosed within his arms. Over and over again he tried to meet my eyes, but shyly I looked away. ' What's wrong with you? Joy. Joy. Joy' He said impatiently. As the words left his mouth , i scanned through my head trying to figure out what I had done wrong. Who knows? Then out of nowhere.. ' Do you like me Joy, do you?' Finally my shaken eyes lifted up to meet his serious face. My mouth suddenly felt dry , out of all the times why now? Stuttering I couldn't get a word out but only looked into his eyes nervously. I..I do I like him? I never thought seriously about it before,just kinda pushed it to the back of my head. ' Well if you don't,then who are to stop me talking to Rosè, I see how you and Namjoon flirted earlier. His vile hands around your waist.' George's voice raised into an angry and upset tone. Luckily no one was around,or so I thought. Unknown to me and to George, Rosè was secretly hiding and listening to our conversations,well our one sided conversation. 'And if you do Joy, If you really do like me...' his eyes were filled with desperation, was he sending me a signal. Did he like me? ' then do something about, I can't wait forever.' With those last words he released me from his prison and stormed off. My heart sank to the deepest and bottomless part of my body. I've really messed up haven't I. Running my fingers through my hair , I let out a heavy sigh and fall onto the floor. Then that, that ugly brat Rosè just happens to walk past at that moment. She walks like a supermodel, looking at me for a moment,then snarks judgingly before raising her head high and sashaying off. Ugh this girl. Does she think she better than everyone. I restrain my anger as the feeling to hit her slowly fades away. Does she think that she can steal George away from me. I'm gonna get her. Wait no, I sound childish.

I gather myself together and get up, my tantrum over. I slouch around ,walking with my face down trying to blink back the tears which persists at my eyelids. I walk and and walk until I bump into something. Someone. I sluggishly say sorry and carry on , not looking up at the person I had bumped into. Steps hurriedly followed me behind and warm arms embraced me. Excitedly,my face rose up hoping to see George only to see Namjoon. Should I be happy or sad?

His puzzled face looks me up and down.

'Are you okay? What happened?

'Nothing much.' I answered back short and sweet with no emotion, no happiness in my voice. Well is there anything to be happy about. The world is ending , I've pushed away my only friend with my awkwardness and behaviour and this one bitch won't stop trying me. Yeah, nothing much is wrong. Can you detect the sarcasm in my voice. I flick my hair behind my ear. Ew, just a little bit greasy. Finally the rant I have in my head is over as his calm ,sweet like chocolate voice invaded my thoughts.

'Hey J! Are you listening to me' turns out he's been rambling on for the past five minutes...oops. We continue to make our way down the hallway, which seems to be never ending. I noticed that every now and the he would move closer and closer. His warmth was starting to rub off on me, reassuring and protecting me. He must have noticed something was wrong because he started making jokes. I didn't expect this feature of him, maybe there lots more aspects of Namjoon that I'm yet to discover. Soon we're laughing and giggling ,bussing out jokes one after the other. My sadness and despair had left me and a wide smile had spread across my face.

'I don't think I've ever seen you smile like this. When you're with me, I'll make sure your never upset. I might have to buss out my dad jokes if you keep up the sad face.' He finishes off his words by pushing my shoulder playfully and ruffling my hair.

'Sure.' , this time there was life in my voice. I had forgotten about my troubles. If only I knew how fast they would come back and smack me back to reality. We head towards the cafeteria, well the make shift one for dinner. There awaited my worst nightmare.
