CHAPTER 8 AM STUDYING YOU!

Chapter 8

*_AUTHOR'S P.O.V._*

UNITY HIGH SCHOOL

After the confrontation Oliver had with his mother, he was in no mood to play basketball like he always would. He was sitting on a chair in the school cafeteria, thinking about Alice. She was the only one he could share his burdens with, but she was studying really hard for her exams.

Kyle, one of his teammates, approached him. Kyle is a good guy, but he is only an acquaintance of Oliver. "Oliver! Why are you not on the court?" Oliver stared at Kyle and carelessly answered him, "I am sorry. Am just not in the mood to play today, maybe some other time." Kyle was not satisfied with the answer he was given, and he looked like he was ready to question Oliver. "Kyle, please don't ask any questions, am in no mood to play today. There's nothing you say that'll change my mind." Oliver didn't bother to check if Kyle understood him or not, he just stood up and left. Kyle was left standing there, 'What the heck is wrong with him today?' He thought to himself and left the cafeteria.

MEANWHILE,

Alice was in the library studying literature. The library was really huge but only had 6 students, including Alice. The students of the school didn't always start studying for the exams this early. Only a few people would study 4 weeks before the exams like Alice. The library was dead silent, and no one spoke, they were just studying.

Alice was engrossed in the plot of the novel that she didn't notice Oliver sitting beside her. He tried to be as silent as possible so as not to distract her. He brought his own books inside and opened them. It was only 2 minutes since he started reading, and he didn't know when his eyes turned to Alice's face, he was studying her like a book. He looked at her dark brown orbs that were concentrated on the book, her upturned beautiful nose, her fleshy soft pink lips, and her pearl white skin. Her black hair fell to her face, obstructing his view of her face.

He was tempted to tuck her hair for her, but since he saw she wouldn't do it herself as she was engrossed in reading, he decided to help her. He moved his hands to tuck her hair for her subconsciously, and when he did, she already noticed he was there. He continued to stare at her, and she could feel his eyes all over her body. Without turning to look at him, she asked, "What are you doing?" Oliver, who foolishly continued to stare, replied subconsciously, "Studying..." He spoke and went silent, so she turned to him, "What are you studying?" She asked. "Am studying YOU!" Alice was shocked, and she quickly looked at him. Seeing that she was looking shocked, Oliver quickly realized his mistake. "Heh...hahaha. It was just a joke, don't look at me like that," he tried to convince her.

"What a weird joke, Oliver."

"Right, I know."

"It almost sounded real to me. PFT hahaha"
