Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Maxine's POV
After yesterday's event, we grabbed some McDonald’s and went home. Now is Saturday and I am with other student council members to clean up the school auditorium and put everything to normal.
Nothing much happened after that "awkward" moment with Celine and I, we just kept stealing glances with each other.
We almost kissed! Well, I really tried hard to control the things I wanted to do with her. Ever since, we became friends, i lose interest in every guys and girls around me. All I could think about was her humorous renarks, our casual fights and exhanged of ideas, the way her hips moved as she walked, how her coffee-colored eyes and lashes squinted when she's thinking too deeply, God! Everything about her!
"Will you come with us after this?" Wren asked as she finished putting every boxes aside.
"Where to?" i pull off my gloves and throw it away. "Mall, have some relaxation after a loaded week. " "i don't want to be a third wheel Wren" I answered laughing, they would just probably kill me watching them lovey-dovey
"We're coming and Jack have something to do" Iris, the head of the student council said as she looked over some members which I considered close friends. Iris was in college; this was her last year now as the member of the council. She may be a bitch for some, but she was the most hardworking and responsible leader, a club could have. Aside from her busy schedule, she always make time for the members to bond.
"Yeah, dont worry about that Max. We gonna chill!!!" Quin said as she put her hands over my shoulders and whispered "It's the President's birthday" Quin is Iris' best friend, she's the council's secretary.
"So, you prepared something?" I whispered back and she nodded pointing to the bag Wren has. There was a number of us. Mostly girls, because some boys backout when they'd noticed most were girls. They said they'll just greet her on her social media account. The group was composed of Iris, Quin, Wren, you already know the three of them. Some were Abegail, a senior high school student as well as Lee, they both were my age and has been a member of the council since high school. Then there's five more girls.
The surprised went well, we rented the place, I mean, since its Quin's we have the whole place for us. I was so full. The girls were into the conversation when I looked around. I then saw a familiar silhouette. Her shoulder length hair and that hips and legs that I adore. I am such a pervert! But yeah, i was right. Its Celine! I was planning to call her attention but suddenly a boy appear from nowhere, he's quite good looking and about an inch taller than Celine, as Celine automatically clung on his shoulder. The boy smiled and slap Celine's arms playfully. He then gave ice cream to Celine while they both giggled.
I don't know why but i suddenly wanted to vomit. I feel like all the food I have eaten had gone to the wrong system of my body. I felt sad. I felt something on my chest that were not there before. Am I jealous? Pft. No way! But who the hell was that boy!?
I thought Celine has no boyfriend. I thought we.. I should never think about it again. My thoughts were interrupted when Wren pinched my side giving me a curious look.
"what?" I asked not knowing why she looked me that way. "We're asking for your opinion for the party to run for next year. Quin will run, do you want to run for next year?" Abegail explained "I don't know yet, but I'll support Quin." I replied giving them a smile
"Aww. Thank you Max! You're the best!" Quin replied ecstatically. I looked over my shoulder and noticed Wren still looking at me weirdly. I shot her a questioning look.
"I saw that!" she whispered
"Saw what exactly?"
"You. Looking at Celine with some guy."
"So?"
"You're about to cry" she said teasingly
"No, I'm not!" I hissed
She put her hands up as if surrendering. "Okay.. Okay.." I exhaled deeply and thought, was I that too obvious?

We bid each other goodbye and I went straight to bed thinking about that coffee-colored eyes that seemed to captivate me by all means.
