Chapter twenty nine: Trouble

y/n subconsciously closed her locker and leaned against it. she let out a long sigh while staring at the ceiling. she couldnt take her mind off of what happened the night before. Was it a mistake?

Every second she spent with Thomas was deeply imprinted in her mind. Every bit of it felt so magical that she wanted to feel it all over again. On the other side, as much as she liked it , she regretted it. since the beginning, she let herself feel something for someone who was already taken. Taken by someone, she can never overmatch. 

Her mind was brought back when the school bell rang. Few minutes left before the class starts. She thought to herself, In these few minutes, if she manages to get even a brief sight of him, would the heartache she was feeling get less...?  will she be able take her mind off him for few hours...?

While making sure none of her classmates were watching, she left the place. heading to the senior's floor. She knew, it wasnt the right thing to do but, at that very moment, she couldnt think of anything better than just looking for him.

15 minutes, Thomas counted. not sure if its gonna be the last time he's taking note of the time. Grace pulled him to the halls and made him hear her annoying excuses and questions for the last fifteen minutes. His legs were starting to lose strength of standing still. This fifteen minutes felt like hours for him.

He couldnt take it anymore. He wanted to leave her in that place and walk away. But that would cause only more trouble. Her words and questions began a continuous pain in the head. But he refused to answer the childlike questions of her.

"How could you just leave me there?!? I had to dance with a total stranger. Can you imagine how uneasy I felt?!? Where did you even go at that time?!?"

"I told you. I had to leave because of an emergency at my home. It had to be taken care of. I didnt have the time to contact, okay?"

"What kind of emergency?!? Was that problem more important that me?!?" Thomas backed away once again. There were absolutely no way he could shut her up. again, she kept repeating the same questions. 

With no way out, he decided to use her weakness. He closed into her and stopped her talking with a kiss. He left it like that while noticing how Grace was ready to give up on the past.

When they parted, Grace couldnt speak out a single word. She looked surprised and happy at the same time. Thomas could tell he has won her heart.

"Babe, I wont do it again, okay? Now, Im leaving for my class." Grace only nodded and walked off the other way.

Thomas felt bad with playing with her feelings. But he felt helpless. There were no way he could take his mind off what happened the night before. 

A strong guilt was built up inside him. He thought to himself that he shouldnt have taken that step with y/n. Not caring about how she felt for him, he scared her away.

Thomas and Grace kissing had to be the exact moment when y/n arrived. She saw them making out like there was no tomorrow. When they parted, she quickly hides herself behind a wall, covering her mouth in shock.
