Chapter 19: Jealous

Thalia's POV

It's been a week, and Zane is ok now. His scars are not that visible anymore.

Zane and I arrived at school very early.

"Good morning, guys,"

"Morning!"

Zane and I sat on our chairs and did our own thing.

"Oh, why are there many students outside? Is there an artist because girls are all gathered and shouting"? Elkie said.

They all went to the window to see what Elkie said.

"What's with the commotion about?"

"Thalia!" Two girls called me.

"What is it?"

"Liam Vergara is looking for you outside,"

"Liam Vergara? As in the smart, handsome, and famous in this prestigious school?" Karina asked.

"Yes!" The girls shouted.

"I don't know him," I said.

"Why is he looking for you?"

"Let's go down and find out why,"

"Follow us," The girls said.

We all went out of the building and went to the gate.

"Excuse me, coming through," The girls said.

When the girls said that, all of the student's made way for us. It's like what I see in dramas.

And then I saw a handsome guy standing.

"Hi," The guy said.

"Hello"

"I want to tell you something, but there are a lot of people here. Can we talk inside my car?"

"Is your talk that important that you will talk inside your car? You can say what you want to say to Thalia here," Zane said.

I can say that Zane is mad. Is he jealous? No way, Thalia. That would never happen. Zane likes someone remember?

"It's ok, Zane. Ok, let's talk inside your car,"

"Ok"

We went inside his car, and I can say that he is very rich because he has a beautiful car and it is very fragrant.

"Uh, let me introduce myself. My name is Liam Vergara,"

"Thalia Zcarina Rodrigo"

We shake hands.

"That's a beautiful name,"

"So, what do you want to say to me?"

"Remember when you're I.D fell, and someone gave it back to you?"

"Yes"

"That was me?"

"Oh really? I didn't realize that it was you because I was not looking at your face. Thank you, anyways",

"You're welcome. What I wanted to tell you is that, um, let me be straightforward. When I saw you that day, I liked you at first sight, and I was planning to go back here again to ask you this. Can I court you, Thalia?"

OMG! I am speechless. What will I say? And then I remembered what Zane told me that day. That he likes someone, and I bet that it's not me.

Zane's POV

"I will go back to the classroom," I said to them.

I walk out because I think I know why he is here. I saw a bouquet of roses and a bar of chocolate inside his car.

Jealous? Yes, I am jealous.

When I arrived at the classroom, I sat on my seat and put on my air pods.

"Zane"

"Yes?"

"Why with the attitude?"

"I know why is Zane like that, guys," Reece said.

"Why?" John and Ronald asked.

"You two are so dumb. It's very obvious that Zane is jealous,"

"Oh"

And the three of them looked at me.

"What?"

"Are we right?"

"Yes. I am jealous. Happy?"

"Oh, so I was right all along. You do like Thalia," Reece said.

"Will you confess or what? Because I know that Liam is going to make his move too,"

"I know that, but I will respect Thalia's decision if she will allow Liam to court her,"

"Ok, man, but I think you will regret it,"

"I know"

"Ok. We will respect your decision,"

Mom is right all along.

But I wonder how Liam met Thalia? I will ask her later.

Narrator's POV

Karina and Elkie watched and waited for Thalia to get out of the car because they were eager to know what happened inside and what Thalia and Liam talked about.

After a few minutes of waiting, Thalia got out of the car with a bouquet of roses and a bar of chocolate, waved to Liam, and Liam went off.

Karina and Elkie went to Thalia.

"What did you two talk about,"

"Detail per detail"

"From what you are holding, I think I know,"

Thalia told Karina and Elkie what they talked about inside.

"What about Zane? You like him, don't you?"

"I like Zane, but he said that he likes someone, and I don't think it's me,"

Karina and Elkie looked at each other.

"What?"

"Nothing Thalia"

"We respect your decision. I know that Liam is a great guy,"

"I envy you, Thalia. A smart, handsome, and famous guy asked you out,"

"Yeah, me too. But John is enough for me,"

"Let's go back to the classroom because it's almost time for class,"

When they are walking in the hallway, all of the students are looking at Thalia.

They all said that Thalia is so lucky and that they envy her.

When they arrived inside the classroom, all of her classmates were looking at her. Thalia felt awkward. She looked at Zane, and he was so quiet.

Fast forward and Zane and Thalia are walking home together.

Thalia wondered because Zane is so quiet throughout the day.

"Zane?"

"Uhum?"

"Oh nothing"

"Did that guy ask to court you?"

"Yes"

"What's your answer?"

"I said that he can court me. I think today is the last day that we will go home together because Liam said that he will take me to school and take me home also,"

"Oh"

And there was silence.

Thalia looked at Zane, and he is looking straight ahead.

Thalia didn't know what topic to open up, so they walked silently.
