Chapter 4
As the bell rings for a break, and everyone's out for lunch as Zoe took a selfie without Nico notice for he was busy studying for the next subject. As she viewed the picture, she smiled. It was a heartwarming and feel the butterflies in her stomach. She giggled as she watched Nico studying. Nico's be like What?
"Oh sorry, It was nothing."
He just smiled.
He always likes to smile, and cold at the same time.
Well anyway, that was just embarrassing for what I did there.
I'm crazy!
Zoe's eyes rolled and watched the beautiful nature from the window.
"Anyways, I just got hired." He said and smiled as I looked back.
Zoe smiled as she said, "I'm happy for you."
"Thanks, just a working student here in school."
"Really? Then that's great. We can still see each other then. I mean, you know even if you're on a duty, that means I can still be with you right?"
"Yeah, I'll be in the office for training after class."
Zoe didn't respond, she just loved watching him.
"Wanna go out after my duty?"
Here he goes again, making me want him more
"Yeah sure," Zoe smiled until her mouth smiled widely with butterflies.
Nico smiled and left.
And Zoe stops smiling, realizing to not fall in love harder, cause maybe he was just being nice to her because it was just meant to be his best friend forever. But let the sad thoughts away, Zoe's gonna go out with him this night.
She turned around from a window and about to daydream Nico again, but then when she saw a familiar guy wearing a faded blue cap, trying to be like cool in playing basketball until he put off his cap, so then, Zoe scoffed. She watched him the whole time playing basketball and gave negative comments. "Ew, trying to be a cool guy when he's not," she said until she remembered something last night.
[Flashback]
"I know you shrimp!" Zoe said angrily as she tries to punch the guy
"You're drunk"
"And you're a bad guy! with that looks of you!"
He scoffed
"And look!" Zoe said as she pointed out his ears
"You've got earrings! that means you're a playboy! a bad guy!"
"You know miss, My name is Santino, not shrimp and Your Uncle Ben was right, you're nice, but at the opposite" Zoe stopped dancing as she realizes this,
"and if you hate guys who smoke, then I hate girls who drink a lot," Santino said as he grabbed his faded blue cap, wears it and winked at her and left.
[End of flashback]
"Arghh Stupid!" She said as she hits her head.
Crazy she is.
Bells rings
"Are you sure you're gonna wait for me until 7 P.M? Don't worry, I'm going to pick you up from your house"
"No, it's fine, it's your training today, I must not be there." Zoe chuckled.
It's really, really okay Nico
"Okay then, just chat me if you change your mind," Nico said and leaves.
"Yeah," Zoe said as she watched Nico walking, and the wind blew her.
Suddenly, she heard some guitar strums that it was about to end until she saw the moment they jammed.
"Ohhh woooh" Santino
Santino strummed for the last chords.
Oh, It's just him again. Zoe Thought
"Wonderful! Next time again. and I think it's time for us to go, what about you Santino?"
Santino chuckled as he said "No man, just gonna stay here for a moment." and strummed his guitar.
"As always" The two guys chuckled "See ya"
"See you"
Santino strummed his guitar as Zoe hides behind the tree.
So, his friends aren't bad guy looking after all. Especially, he is friends with the guy I know from President in another College Department. Maybe I was just being judgmental by his appearance. or---
Santino continues strumming for Go On Girl by Ne-Yo
"Oh, Ohh Ohh"
What is he gonna sing then?
I can't get it back
But I don't want it back
I realized that she
Don't know how to act
Never been a dumb dude
No, I'm not dense
I just had a slight lack of common sense
I was the good guy
She was the bad girl
I'm thinking one girl
She thinking me, Earl, James, and Jimmy
Yep, she had plenty
But love for me, she didn't have any
Is he brokenhearted?
I was inviting (her into my heart)
But she was out riding (in some other man's car)
She was my night time, (thought I was her star)
That's sad
Guess I was wrong, but, see, I'm strong
Won't take me long for me to move please, don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine
I was wrong about him
Only gonna play the fool one time
Trust me when I say that I'll be okay
Go on, girl
Go on, girl
Go on, girl
I was being so judgmental to him, yet I never know him. I know, the first impression won't be gone, but judging someone isn't okay. How foolish of me.
Oooh, the mistake I made was clear
That's the reason you're not here
Not a single salty tear
Not a feeling in my chest
Baby, I'm feeling no stress
I'm too fly to be depressed
I get it, he turned into a bad guy for she breaks his heart.
Go on, girl, go on, girl
Go on, girl, go on, girl
It's so flattered for someone is singing about you secretly.
Zoe smiled.
Until she steps up from down the mini hill "Ahh" Zoe screamed and slide down, rolled over Santino's way.
[Banged]
"Hey, what the hell are you doing stalker?" Santino said as Zoe tries to get up until their eyes met.
Now playing "I like you so much, you'll know it" instrumental only
"Wow! Stalker your face! I was here before I saw you with your friends!"
"Do you have to be angry?"
"Cause I'm not your stalker, Santino" Zoe smiled fakely
"Oh, so you remember my name?"
Zoe scoffed "Well, how can I forget the guy who smokes, I got it on my list!" and pointed her head "On my head!"
"So Is that how you hate me?"
"Sir? If I like you, I would do nothing, and If I hate you, I still wouldn't do anything for you! Nothing! I just hate you on my mind."Zoe said and started walking away.
"It's my first and last smoking never thought it would feel good while smoking."
"But I know it can be dangerous that's why I stopped." He added
Oh Like I care
Zoe stopped walking and turns around
"Well then, good for you cause sir, I'm not gonna argue with that much longer. It's your choice and your life, not mine" Zoe smiled as she feels disappointment and started walking away again and hoping to never seen his face.
