15 I like you

She laid her back on the door, slowly falling to the ground. She didn't even know when tears started to fall from her orbs.

"Sara!" His mellow voice called out her name from outside but she didn't respond. Her voice was stuck in her throat. It was like a trickle was studying inside her throat. It was painful, not letting out her voice.

Even if she wanted to cry out she can't. It hurts.

Michael sighed, he doesn't know why she ran away? Was she upset with him for being weak? Maybe she despises the fact that she dated a weak guy like him.

"Sorry, for not being able to protect you." Michael clasped his fist tightly and went away after finishing his words.

Sara was shocked when she heard those words of his. Weak? Why was he saying sorry? When it was all her fault. Wasn't she more vulnerable than him? Then why was he saying sorry? She never said he was weak.

She stood up from the floor and opened the door. She looked around and saw his silhouette, "Stop!" She commanded from behind and dashed towards him.

Michael stopped hearing her call and looked back. She was standing in front of him. His heart skipped a bit, seeing her face in front of her.

"You are not weak…" she stopped before completing the sentence and looked at his eyes directly.

They were still teary, she must have wept inside the bathroom. She must have regretted that her boyfriend can't even protect her.

"You are not only extremely weak but also too much delusional," she said laughing out and pulling his ear.

Michael was surprised by her words. "Ouch! Let go of my ear. It hurts." Michael cried out, acting as if he was struggling.

"Yes, feel the pain so something goes inside your brain," Sara replied, pulling his ear harder. Michael peeped at her face. She was finally laughing. She looked better with a smile than those teary eyes.

When he first came to this school, he heard rumors about how was she. A cold and ruthless, spoiled princess. Who was perfect in everything but not her personality? She always likes to act high and seduce a guy. But more he knew her, he realized she was never like they said. She was just a lonely one who doesn't know how to be sociable with others.

"Sara…" Michael removed her hand away from his ear and hold on to it. His warm gaze as if the sun had finally came out after a long snowy cold winter night.

The people who see the sun at that time may feel the warmth and the joyous look on their faces. It was the taste of the same feeling she felt on gazing at his amber eyes.

"I like you." Michael's sudden word, made Sara astonished. From the first meeting till now it was always her who took the initiative but hearing those words coming out of his mouth. She could only be in utter amazement.

Her eyes stood still, her mouth gaped and face unbothered of the surrounding. Michael felt a bit embarrassing after seeing so shocked. Did he go overboard with his confession?

"Sorry, I didn't mean to shock you." Michael rubbed his back in awkwardness.

"What did you say?" He gazed at Sara from her abrupt question. Did she not hear what he say? His cheeks flushed red hue from the embarrassment he was feeling. Not only he messed up the first time but she even asked to repeat it. Can't he just dig a hole there and hide. Why does it have to be so awkward?

"Nothing, my class is going to start. I need to go." Michael had no courage to look at her eyes and say those again. He was already embarrassed to death. He continued to look at the floor while going.

Sara didn't stop him, instead, she smiled like a Chesire cat and looked at the back of leaving Michael.

"Cute!" She mumbled under her breath smiling foolishly.

Michael walked as fast as he could and went to the classroom. It was almost time for the school to start, so most of the school had already come to school. Seeing Michael enter with a red face, they stared at him curiously. Michael tried to ignore all those stares and sat at his place, trying to cool down.

But fragments of the earlier scene continued to flash in his mind. And it made him redder. Why did he say those words? He curses himself for going out of his mind.

He tried to ignore all those and tried to focus. Even though others were curious, they didn't dare to ask him what happened. Michael was known for being liked to be alone, even though he had been here for a long time except for his name, and being an excellent student, they knew nothing.

Sara went back inside the bathroom and took out her phone and called a number. It was picked up immediately.

"Bring me a new set of uniforms to the girl's washroom on the third floor." After being her command, she cut the call.

Soon after, a woman in a suit bought her a new set of uniforms and bowed and left. Sara didn't even look at her, she put on her uniform and walked out of the bathroom towards her classroom.
