Writing Contest

Chapter 19: Writing Contest

Piper's POV

"So the writing contest theme is Love" I said and I heared our classmates start to whine and they keep on complaining.

"Guys guys listen" I said and they stop, all of them look at me. While my adviser Mr. Sy is in the back, smiling at me.

"We have no choice since 'Love' is what I pick up and I'm sorry for that" I said and they all sigh. I sigh and they sigh, what a great cooperation.

"Hey it's not bad" Catherine said that made them all look at her. She smile and she stand up.

"What do you mean?" One of our classmate said. Catherine smile and she ask Mr. Sy if she could join me in the front, he said yes.

"Love is not all about romantic relationship with the opposite sex or the same sex. Love is universal, it can be love for our friends" she said while looking at me

"Love for our parents, classmates, school or even at our hobbies. For example you Pip" she said while pointing at Pip that made him taken back.

Wow special mention.

"You love volleyball and it's love. Love is about making you happy, Pip is happy about playing volleyball. That is love" she explain while smiling at our classmate.

"I also love volleyball, why you didn't mention me?" Zaizen said while smiling at Catherine who got panic of what she said earlier.

Hehe a cutie.

"Me too, I'm your bestfriend" Natty said and the whole class start to teas Pip and Catherine.

I laugh when I saw Pip getting flustered while Catherine is furrowing her eyebrows trying to explain herself why she choose Pip.

"Okay class keep it down" Mr. Sy said and the whole class just laugh. Pip hide his head by burying it in the table.

Hah! He is obvious that he like Catherine.

"So guys, you hear Catherine? Love is not about that romantic stuff. Anyway tell me if you want to join so that I can write your names" I said, I go back to my seat and I saw Jenrick secretly playing at his phone.

I took a peak of it and I flinched when Mr. Sy suddenly get his phone that made him look at Mr. Sy.

"Sir I-"

"Get it after class" he said while putting in in his pocket. Jenrick start to groan and he rub the back of his neck.

Jenrick raise his hand and Mr. Sy look at him.

"Yes?"

"Can I turn off my data?" he said that made our class burst out.

The morning class went good as my other classmate write their names for the writing contest. I write my name, of course last year I didn't win because the seniors last year is really tough and they are good.

I am not that good but I can write. Maybe describing things well is what I needed. Some of the writers are detail in writing and I'm bad at that.

"I smell something is fishy" Pip suddenly said that made us look at him. We are at the classroom right now, my other classmate is at the canteen since it's lunch break.

"Yeah, your mouth" Zaizen said and Pip kick his chair that made him laugh.

"Stacy is not showing up to us or even annoying us" he said while looking at us. I raise my eyebrow while Natty glare at him.

"Do you need to mention her? Like I care" Natty said, I can't believe what I hear. She still hate her?

"Okay that was mean" Pip said and Natty laugh at him.

I feel something not right.

"What do you mean by that? Hello she hurt your twin but you still defend her?" Natty said, okay I don't know what to do.

"I didn't defend her. I didn't say anything except that you are being mean" he said and I saw Zaizen trying to calm.

Jenrick look away while Catherine is doing something at her notebook. Rich is just looking and listening like me.

"What? I'm being honest that I don't care about her" she said while raising her eyebrow at Pip.

Pip mouth went open and he released a sarcastic laugh.

"I hate her but I still care for her as a woman. I don't know what you feel about her but do you know that maybe she is also hurt?" Pip said

"Like I said, I don't care about what she feel or anything. She doesn't deserve a respect" she said and she storm out of the classroom.

I suddenly felt a heavy object on my chest that made me breath heavy. I stand up and everyone look at me.

"I need to go at the restroom" I said while getting my pouch and I saw Pip standing up but I stop him.

"I can handle myself" I said while getting out. I need some fresh air.

"Are you okay?" Jenrick asked that made me jump and he laugh when he saw my reaction.

"I feel heavy" I said while getting out of my inhaler. He start to panic when he saw me putting my inhaler in my mouth.

"Should I call you twin-" I stop him and made him sit beside me. I was holding his hand while inhaling the medicine in the inhaler.

After a few minutes, I start to relaxed and put it in my back. I look back at Jenrick who is worry looking at me.

"You scare me sometimes" he said while looking at me, I just smile at me and get my candy in my pouch. I sometimes store something candy for my asthma attack or something.

"Why?"

"Cause I don't know what makes your asthma trigger or something" he said and I raise my eyebrow at him.

"Exhausting physical activities, maybe emotional too" I said and he look at me.

"Okay noted" he said while smiling at me. I suddenly remember what he said at the book store.

"Hey what do you mean at the book store the other day?" I asked

"Oh that, well since you asked. I should be honest but promise me that you won't stay away from me?" He said and I nodded my head.

"Somehow I develop a little, just a little crush on you" he said bravely that made me surprise.

He is straight forward oh my god. I can feel my cheeks start to warm as my brain starting to sink what he said.

He has a crush on me. Omg this is the first time that someone confessed his feelings for me.

"Sorry I am too fast?" He said while he is already panicking.

"No no no I just overwhelm since this is the first tine that someone confessed. Are you not shy" I asked and he shook his head.

Wow confidence.

"At first yes but my brother said that confession is about confidence so I follow his advice" he said that made me smile.

"Well you know that you are doomed when Pip know about this" I said and he just chuckled.

"I know but I can't stop myself for liking you. You are too adorable to handle" he said that made me flustered.

"You are too straight forward"

"No, it's called honesty" he said and I roll my eyes at him that made him giggle.

"Hey don't make your hopes high since I don't like anyone" I said and he nodded his head.

"I know, your face scream something in your life like you want to do well in education something" he said, well he is right.

"Educarion first then love. Boys can wait" I said and he nodded his head.

"I can wait" he said while smiling at me. He is not bad, he is a good person and I need to learn more about him.

Let's test his patience since I won't get easily.
