Chapter 33: Chapter 33

“yep, we would” I said and chuckled

Eliza threw a ball up and before it came down to the water, Wini caught it

They clapped and cheered for themselves.

They threw the ball again and I caught it

“whoah! That's my girl!” Will cheered and gave me a high five.

I threw the ball up and Will caught it. We were so happy cause we were winning.

Though at the end of the game, we had a tie. No body won

We each had five points.

“let's eat. I'm hungry” Wini said and we got out of the pool. We dried ourselves with the towels there and went to the buffet table.

There were lots of food there. Turkey, chicken, rice, veggies, fish, noodles and spaghetti. Those are the ones I can call

We were supposed to serve ourselves since it was a buffet. We each took plates and put in it whatever we wanted to eat.

Eliza had two plates, I guess she's willing to try out all the delicacies

“are you okay with that?” Will asked beside me

“yeah. I'm okay;” I replied and took a fork from the table. I also took a knife

As I looked up, Will was pointing a fork with a slice of chicken on it

“open up” he said

“I don't wanna” I said but he got even closer

“open up” he repeated. I pouted and sighed then opened my mouth. I took the chicken and a light flashed on us

“hahahaha” giggled Eliza and Wini as they stared at Wini's phone

“what? You guys took a picture?” I asked

“no... It's not you guys” Wini said and I shrugged and walked to the chairs. I sat on one and placed my plate on the table. The rest also sat down and we began to chat and eat. We were all talking about our experience with knives or other sharp objects

We finished eating and we went to the bowl of drinks and began taking the drinks of our choice. I took the juice I took earlier but later began to drink other flavors like peach and mango.

We did some other games in the pool like swimming competition. Eliza won it all

At the end of the party, Will said he wanted to talk with me in private.

After we showered and changed, I went to his balcony where he said he wanted to meet with me.

He was already waiting there

“hey” I said as I came to him.

“hey” he replied and stood upright because he was leaning on the railing

“how was the party to you?” he asked

“awesome! I loved it” I said and we laughed

“Goldie” he called and took my hand

“yeah, what's it you wanted to tell me?” I asked as we both looked each other in the face

“Goldie” he called again and used his second hand to arrange my flying hair on my hairline. I had blow dried it so it wasn't wet anymore

“I don't know how you would believe me but... Everything has changed ever since I met you. I've been wondering why I feel so attached to you. I found myself clinging to you even when you kept pushing me away. I remember deciding to have nothing to do with you but I still came back to you even after months of staying away. I care about you Mari and I know you know I do. I wondered why I felt so happy and at peace when we hold hands and I finally got my answer”

He held my second hand and looked deep into my eyes

“I've fallen in love with you Marigold.” he said and that sentence hit me like a blow. My mouth flung open

“Goldie, I want you to give me the opportunity to love you even more. I want you to let me show you I care about you. I want us to be something more. I want you to be something more than a friend... I want you to be my girl. Please give me that chance Mari”

What?

Wilbur Sanders is asking me out and it's not a dream. No... This is too much for me to take in. I can't even think right now

I shook my head slowly

“what?” he asked

“no... No... I.. I can't... I can't Will.. No” I said with my words breaking

“don't do this Marigold. Don't say no to me, please” he pleaded but I withdrew my hands from him

“I can't” I said and ran out

“Marigold! Marigold!” Will called after me but I ran off without looking back.

Eliza was waiting for me in the living room

“come on... let's go” I said to her

“why are you panting?” she asked.

“OH.. I... I ran down here” I replied

“why?” she asked and stood up with our bag

“because Wini's driver would be waiting for us. Come on let's go” I said and drew her out.

“you suddenly seem to be in a hurry”

“I have a test in school on Monday and I haven't read a thing out of the hundred pages of my note” I replied.

We got to the car and entered.

The car began to move. We got to Eliza's dorm in about twenty minutes. She was actually talking about the party throughout but I answered very few of what she had to say

When she got down, I let her take the bag and told her to give me my own things in it when she comes visiting.

As he drove into the University Staff Quarters, I was feeling down because my nightmare had sprout out in the real world. And I was scared to see the result of it sprouting out too
