Chapter VIII

"Where do you wanna eat?" The raved asked as they went out the hallway backstage.

"I'm not really in the mood for cafeteria food. Could we eat at that bakery down by the block?" The brunette shyly asked while Liam nodded.

"Sure, let me just get my umbrella from the locker. It's really sunny today." Liam smiled.

"Camrenn!" Dylan yelled from the stage as she saw the two passed by.

"Dyerre!" Liam reciprocated, in a teasing manner. Both dancers went down the stage as they made their way to the two.

"Where are you going?" Dylan asked.

"Well, Camz is hungry. We'll eat at the bakery she's saying by the block." Liam smiled.

"Not fair! I wanna eat as well." Pierre frowned chugged on his water.

"Why don't you come with us?" Kyla asked.

"We can't, dance practice." Pierre frowned before batting his lashes at Liam, who shook his head.

"What do you want?" The raven asked as he looked at a grinning Pierre.

"I want baked mac and cheese."

"Okay, anything else?" Liam asked.

"Bagels please." The raven nodded as he looked at Kyla who was talking to Dylan.

"Why can't you be like them?" Dylan frowned.

"Well, you're not telling me what you want." Kyla defended.

"Pierre didn't! But Loser asked him!" Dylan complained.

"Fine. What do you want?" Kyla gave in.

"I want baked mac and cheese too." Dylan sheepishly grinned.

"Alright." Kyla nodded before turning to face Liam.

"Ky! You're supposed to ask me anything else?" Dylan complained.

"Dyl, we're not like these two." Kyla laughed as she looked at Liam and Pierre who gave them huge grins.

"Fine. I want hot cheetos too." Dylan added, the two nodded before going out the theater and walking down the hallway.

"Hey Liam!" A woman from the left side of the hallway called out.

"Lucy." Liam smiled politely, Kyla watched the woman went in and attempted to kiss his cheeks. A tinge of annoyance flowed through Kyla's veins, while Liam avoided Lucy swiftly.

"That was uncalled for." Liam pointed out which made the Kyla smile subtly.

"I just saw you and wanted to greet you. You look extra hot today." She flirted while Liam only nodded.

"Let's go." Liam said as he subtly wrapped his arms around Kyla's shoulder.

"You're with this nerd?" Lucy scoffed, Kyla felt Liam's hand form into a fist by her shoulder.

"Seriously?" Liam scoffed.

"Well, isn't she?" Lucy chuckled, eyeing Kyla up and down.

"Kyla is anything far from a nerd. If you call her that one more time, I'll bring hell to you."

"Gosh Liam, I was just kidding. Take a chill pill or something." The woman said.

"Low, it's alright." Kyla smiled as she held Liam's fist that was on her shoulder.

"See. She gets it." Lucy said rolling her eyes.

"Because she's that educated." Liam smirked before looking at the brunette and nodding as they walked away, leaving a scoffing Lucy.

"You didn't need to stand up for me at all times." Kyla shyly said.

"Are you kidding? Standing up for you is one of my favorite things to do. They get to be scared of me, and they get away from you. It's a win-win." Liam winked before stopping in his tracks and getting the umbrella from her locker.

"Scared of the sun?" Kyla teased.

"Kind of, it's so hot it might burn us. Plus, don't wanna get tanned." Liam grinned.

The two continued to walk alongside each other talking about everything they could ever think off. It was great to have someone to talk about things that interests both of them.

"Hi, Welcome!" A short woman smiled as she waved at Kyla and Liam who had just entered.

"Hi Ally." The brunette smiled, Ally had been a friend of Kyla ever since she started going to the bakery for her own pleasure. The bakery is kind of an all-around place, not only does it have baked goods, but also pasta, and other more items.

"I've never been to this place." Liam mumbled as he looked around.

"Hello Kyla, It's a pleasure seeing you here today." Ally smiled, looking at Kyla then Liam-who was eyeing a nutella sandwich.

"What can I get for ya? Who's the new friend?" Ally smiled.

"He's Liam, Dylan's friend, Pierre's best friend and now my close friend." Kyla chuckled.

"I've said so many friends there, but yeah! I'd like to get two baked macs for take-out, bagels, and some hot cheetos." Kyla smiled.

"Coming right up! Anything else?" Ally asked.

"I'd like a lasagna, and probably a nutella sandwich for Liam." Kyla chuckled.

"And a banana?" Ally grinned.

"Definitely." Kyla chuckled.

"Low, I ordered a nutella sandwich for you." Kyla said.

"You did?!" Liam asked happily, while Kyla gave him a nod.

"Thanks Camz." Liam smiled, Kyla felt her cheeks turn red at the remark.

"Ky?" Ally called out.

"Do you like him?" The woman said while Kyla furiously shook her head.

"Oh honey, you do know I have-"

"Can we discuss this somewhere more private?" Kyla pleaded, while Ally nodded.

"Low, I'm just going to the bathroom." Kyla said as the green-eyed guy nodded.

"Where do you wanna seat?"

"You decide." Kyla smiled before walking to the back.

"So?" Ally asked.

"Als, I'm confused." Kyla groaned as she leaned back on the door by the restroom.

"Why? What got you so confused?" The Mexican asked.

"I'm pretty sure I marked Harry during the first week of February when he showed me affection. He hugged me, and I couldn't stop talking about it for a week straight! I was pretty drawn to him even more than I was when the school started and other than that, I dreamt of green eyes frequently." Kyla started.

"Okay, sounds like a marking to me." Ally said.

"But here's the thing, a week later Liam saved me from this Baseball that was about to hit me. I opened my eyes and I was drawn to his green eyes as well. Then the dream became much more prominent, green eyes and all that. Everytime I closed my eyes, All I could picture that night is green eyes. Until I decided to draw it." Kyla said while Ally nodded as she urged the younger one to go on.

"Then apparently, after that incident with Liam. We became classmates due to their adviser being unable to attend the rest of the school year and yeah, his class merged with ours. As if it was planned! Dylan happened to be close with Liam's best friend Pierre and we met properly. And gosh Ally! I couldn't talk to him properly, I kept on stuttering. And you know what else happened? The teacher made us seatmates." Kyla continued on, while the shorter one listened attentively.

"Then Dylan noticed that I didn't stutter when I talk to Harry anymore, but thankfully she never noticed the stutter went to Liam-the first day we met properly. Then whenever I would see Harry or we get to talk, I feel close to him but seeing and being with Liam is different." The brunette added.

"And then the dream became much more occurring Ally! In my dream I kept on seeing this green eyes with a touch of other color in them. But I wasn't able to see it in any of their eyes, or maybe I wasn't able to see it properly because of the lighting and such. They both had green eyes but in a different shade, That day Harry's looked like the normal touch of green eyes and Liam's were emerald. I thought I was probably confused or what but look." Kyla explained, opening her phone and showing her point.

"Oh my." Ally said in shock.

"Harry's eyes has a touch of yellow in it, and Liam…Liam's eyes looked exactly like the drawing." Kyla breathed out.

"Maybe it's just the camera effect or something?" Ally asked.

"I thought so too but Als, I was able to see this coloration of his eyes in person and I knew I was screwed." Kyla groaned.

"Earlier today, Harry asked me to help him write a song or so. He was looking at me and playing his guitar, as if he was serenading me. I felt shy and flattered. I went to the theater room looking for Liam and I stumbled upon him singing backstage Als, they were just jamming around but when I saw him and our eyes connected, everything disappeared. I felt like it was just us." Kyla confessed.

"Another thing, I said I dreamt of green-eyes when Harry showed affection right?" Kyla said while Ally nodded.

"I never really saw his face or anything in the dream, but after finding out that Liam and the drawing had the same eye appearance, I've been dreaming of him…nonstop Ally." The brunette said biting her lip.

"I don't know what to do! I marked Harry but why does it seem like Liam's been messing my mind?"

"I don't think Liam's messing with your mind." Ally said.

"What do you mean?" The brunette asked confused.

"I'm no expert in your field and all, but my conclusion is that you were just infatuated with Harry upon your incident." Ally started while Kyla nodded confused.

"And since Liam saved you, the dream was prominent. Ky, I think you didn't mark Harry..." Ally whispered.

"Are you saying I-" Kyla started as her mind went to so many places, thinking about the green-eyed Liam.

"Yes."
