Ch 7 He didn't affect me

He was looking so damn divine and breath taking in that shorts of him. He was wearing a T shirt. He was standing a bit away from us. He was wet from the recent swim. His brown hair was wet. 

That white t shirt did no good in hiding his so called abs. He was really muscular. He was laughing on something his friend something. 

" Do you know him?" She shouted in excitement.

Her eyes were sparkling like a cat. She really wanted to know him. Why was I feeling a stinging feeling? It shouldn't affect me that she was interested in him. At same time, I was feeling a sense of proud that I knew him before her. 

" Tell me." She said. She was really desperate. 

" It's him." I told her.

Her eyes widened and her eyes snapped to him. I didn't like when she was salivating at him. 

" Theodore Kensington." She whispered like she was tasting his name on her tongue. 

" It's okay. He is not that good. Just another creature." I said trying to act cool. I was showing that he didn't affect me. Yeah, Theodore Kensington didn't affect me.

She tugged my hand and grabbed me with her. 

" What?" I asked. 

" Introduce me. I want to see him from close. Who's the guy that affected you to the point of jealousy?" She said and smiled like a Cheshire cat. 

" I..I..it's not like that." I said. 

I pulled my hand from her and said," it's not necessary." 

But she was persistent and grabbed my hand tightly. She started pulling me towards him.

I was nervous. Why? 

I gulped. I was suddenly conscious of what I was wearing. I was wearing loose shorts and a loose t shirt. I didn't even combed my hair. I had just pulled them up into a bun. I inhaled deeply. 

He was not focusing on us at all. His friend looked at us first. He was an upper class man. He was our senior. He was quite popular too in high school. He was tall a little shorter than Theodore. He had blonde hair and black eyes. He wasn't too bulky either but he was cute. Nash white was his name.

" Hey.." She said and both of them now officially turned their focus on us. 

Theodore looked at me. I averted my gaze and focused on senior. 

" What's up girls?" He asked in a causal tone. 

Thats why he was known as charmer. 

" I saw you here and I thought we should greet upper classman." She said. 

I looked at her and was not even surprised by her white lies. 

" Who's this new presence here?" She said in her flirty voice.

I was continuously focusing on somewhere else and ignoring him successfully. 

" He is here to spend his summer holidays. He is Theodore Kensington.Theo this is Serina and this is Lyric." He introduced us.

" Nice to meet to you Theo. I am Serina. Just call me Sara." She said. 

" Nice to meet you Sara." Theo said. 

They both shaked their hands. I was just looking at Nash and was ignoring them. 

Theo for her and Kensington for me. I was angry now because suddenly I remembered what he called me yesterday. Yeah I was a damn kid but she wasn't more than older than me either. 

" Nash, it's been a long time since I saw you. How are you?" I asked trying to stable my focus on Nash.

" I am all good Lyric..." He said 

And we started conserving on random topic. I could feel him throwing glares at me. 

" Lyric." He called my name. 

Maybe my ears are ringing. I heard wrong. 

"Lyric." I heard again. 

Sara shaked me. I came out of my haze. I looked at her and she asked,

" Are you okay?" 

" Yeah.."

" Why weren't you responding? Theo here called you several times. You were just blank." She said and I looked at him.

He was just staring at me. He was frowning hard. 

" I am fine. Maybe the heat got me. Afterall it's too hot today." I said. 

I was sweating profusely. I was feeling off maybe because he treated us differently. I wasn't even his friend just a tutor more like a nuisance for him. 

"Let me bring you something to drink." She said. 

Nash went with her too and I was left alone with him. 

" Are you alright?" He asked.
