Chapter 12

Venus Lumier ~~~~~

Lunch time finally came like a blink of an eye, Levy and I are now again here with all of Lumic's friends, eating peacefully. Yeah again no, at this point peace was not or was never an option to the group, Edward and Lumic wouldn't stop bickering they constantly fly insulting names at each other and often glare at each other as if they are the most trashes of all trash than any other trash in the whole world.

"Are you both going to eat or will I have to shove the food AND the spoon down to your throat?" finally having enough at the two Ruby glared and threatened them, sending both of the guys in a corner shaking and muttering low curses at each other.

With that said and done they both finally stopped bickering but even still the two would glare at each other when Ruby isn't looking, sighing I take back my word, Lumic is not mature at all, and that right there is the proof. Mentally rubbing my temples I wonder why we are having lunch with them again- oh wait that's right, LEVY DRAGGED ME IN! Saying or even pleading to spend some time with her crush- Stephen! Where did the friends before boys quote go? Oh that's right it went right down the drain.

"Hey bookworm" Stephen called making me glance or- ahem slightly glare at him; and taking simple glimpse towards my 'bookworm' friend, okay maybe it's not a bad idea at all, maybe just maybe.

"It's Levy, Stephen" Levy corrected blushing not looking at him, even though the two know each other they don't normally talk. But yeah right don't normally talk I would sometimes even catch Levy messaging and replying to his messages, this sneaky little daughter of a watermelon, I secretly snickered at Levy and Stephen as well as nudging her side teasing her more, and I guess I wasn't careful enough because I caught Jane's attention.

"Oh my, now what do we have here Venus?" Jane asked, as I covered my mouth sassily as she did so too.

"I sense something is up here Miss. Jane, a ship would soon set sail" I answered sounding like a crack head, snickering and wiggling my eyebrows at Levy.

"I think Levy and Stephen would be great pair, you two should date!" Gabriel added making Levy blush deep red and Stephen looking away from us, oh my my I have never seen my friend so flustered before, and is the great Stephen affected of our little teasing?

"Shut up!" she shouted at us while Me, Gabriel and Jane just kept on teasing them, until Ruby was the one to shut us up, sending death glares towards us and making some of the boys sweat drop.

"I do think they made a good couple" Ruby voiced out rubbing her chin as she try to imagine the couple, smirking triumphantly we just made Ruby realize that sometimes to tease is nice to look at. Looking over to the guys I see Liam and Lucas shake their head, whilst Stephen groaned and blushed more, hehe the power of teasing is so sweet.

"My my, is the great Stephen blushing?" Jane tease while he just growled yet got even more red if that is even possible, chuckling, I guess it's not all bad having lunch with the Kings and Queens, just that our first meeting was quite tense.

"My my, so is Levy" Jane pointed out, making the two more flustered as ever.

Busy teasing my friend and enjoying myself I forgot two people and one of them is the person who is now leaning over me and whispering in my ear, and yes it was no other than Lumic, stiffening and blushing at the close contact I can not help but look down at my hands.

"Meet me at my office when class is over" he whispered and went back to eating.

Lots of things were now running on my head, a lots of scenarios and lot of unnecessary things playing in, pushing the thoughts aside I ask myself, what does he want with me after class for? Face flushing and quietly fidgeting in my seat, I looked at Jane who seemed to know what happened making eye contact with her, she smirked at me my eyes widening and of course I know what that means she's teasing me.

"My, whats the flushed face for Venus?" she teases, while covering her mouth and as if on cue their alarms went off, ha! SAVED BY THE BELL- or their alarm clock! We all stood up and bid farewell to each other, Gabriel and I going at the same room again.

"Hey Venus" Gabriel started, catching my attention I turned to look her with a little hum to let her know I'm listening.

"I was thinking of what do you think about senior Lumic" she asked, still facing forward I did not look at her as she too was not looking at me, but I did do a simple glance at her direction.

"I think senior Lumic is great, cool and nice" I answered truthfully, still not looking at her as now I am seeing the door to our room not so far away.

"I also think you and senior Lumic can make a good or even a great couple" she stated, that got me off guard blushing while looking anywhere trying to see if Lisa was here, thankfully she wasn't, letting out a sigh of relief thanking the heavens that she was not around and that no one heard her as well.

"Gabriel! Not you too" I whine, slouching a bit and remembering my mothers words again.

"What?" was only her response while looking innocent.

"You can't just say that out loud! What if Lisa or anyone else heard you? That would totally get us into a lot of trouble" I explained still blushing while telling her.

"And plus, senior Lumic and I are just friends, no more no less" I added, crossing my arms and slightly pouting wanting her to drop the topic.

"You could only say that because you haven't even tried looking at senior Lumic's eyes, I think you should really stop avoiding and pushing him away Ven" she said seriously, she even stopped walking trying to convince me of not avoiding him we were just half way reaching our room, like can we not talk about that here? I looked at Gabriel and she was looking at me too, and do take note that she is really serious about this.

"The more you push him away then the more he would knock your walls down. But Venus, I'm telling you to stop pushing him further away before its too late, senior Lumic is also a human being, he'll soon get tired of reaching out at some point, better accept it now or face the consequences of your actions later" she states with all seriousness then started walking, I just stood there watching her leave heaving a sigh I followed her to our room.

Once inside I immediately went to my seat and plop my head at the table with my arms supporting my head, thinking over at what Gabriel just told me I can not help but to just sigh, what she said did make sense, but sometimes I can not help but just to run and hide from him sometimes he just makes me want to curl up under the blankets and I do not know why. Thinking about my actions from the past few weeks I guess I was being a little mean- ugh okay big mean; finally realizing that my actions could really hurt him I feel my guilt build up, alright I'm going to apologize to him, I'll call him and apologize.

As the doors opened I pulled back from my sit, assuming that the one who just walked in was our professor I got my notebook and pen out placing it at my table, but after placing the school necessities at my desk a hand was on top of it all. Following the owners hand I saw Lumic grinning at me, as if he's happy to see me, remembering what Gabriel told me, guilt and sadness flooded in me even more, after pushing and avoiding him he still comes back as if I did not do anything wrong, tears were now showing as I stood up from my seat and hugged him. Softly crying at his shoulder I felt him stiffening, shocked at my sudden actions but soon calmed down and hugged me loosely, while nervously chuckling.

"Venus? Is something wrong?" he calmly and sweetly asked me, he didn't even called me silly names this time, I just shook my head to his answer and trying to stop the tears from spilling even more.

"It's just that, I'm sorry" I said between sobs, after saying those two words he hugged me tighter feeling his smile on his face grew, yes I can tell.

"About what exactly Ven?" he asked as if he doesn't know, in which I know that he knows I was avoiding him, I slowly pulled as he let me go, seeing my messy face he wiped tears away with his thumb.

"Ya know what? Now I hate seeing you cry, from now on I don't ever want to see you crying over anything" he coos while I just giggle at him while wiping the stains at my cheek and gave him a hum.

"Awwweeee" the students awed, I forgot that they were there, I blushed madly remembering that we were at the classroom and I'm glad I'm not the only one blushing cause Lumic did the same, looking at the floor to hide my burning face I glance at Lumic to see him but he was covering his face with the back of his right hand.

"What a happy ending, you two may leave now if that is all" Mrs. Melanie said sounding annoyed, it was said that she doesn't like catching people going lovey dovey, we were not going lovey-dovey, right? Right?! *Doki doki* oh dear, my heart is palpitating oh so bad.

"Actually, I'm going now, I was only here to say 'hi'" Lumic informed while still hiding from his hand taking simple glances at me, while I just stood there still blushing madly, and my heart palpitating widely.

"Okay then you have one minute Mr. Neel" she said while crossing her arms looking annoyed, as he heard that has only 'one minute' he acted like not knowing what to do, panicking and rushing saying 'bye Ven' and kissed my cheek before he bolted out the room, leaving me all red and burning.

"Awwweeeee" I again hear my classmates 'awe' at what he just did, and again I could feel my face heat up more, I think my face could even blend with the red roses or blood now.

"Okay that is enough, Venus go back to your seat" she instructed as I did what she told me, still not being able to process what Lumic did and what my heart is doing, I ain't gonna get a good night sleep when this day end *doki doki* SHUT IT HEART!

Internally groaning, I am now quite annoyed of this palpitating heart of mine, like can you just chill my dear? If only it could talk I probably got snapped at my heart right here right now, but seriously though, I don't think I can focus on the lesson Mrs. Melanie is giving my brain just malfunctioned from what just happened, and I think it will need sometime to get back to reality.

Face palming I forgot I have to meet him after class too, ahh- I don't know how to face him now, should I act as if nothing happened? Maybe I should just pass for now and tell him tomorrow that I forgot cause I got occupied, 'yeah occupied from the hug and the kiss he gave you' my inner self stated, oh shush you as if you even helped me out there. Rubbing my temples I can not believe I am arguing with my inner self now, out of nowhere Lisa's face popped up in my mind quietly gasping I almost forgot about her, oh my chicken salad nuggets! The school's forum!
