Dying in silence

“Your boyfriend?, you have a boyfriend?.”Elsa asked with a smile.

I nodded shyly and her smile grew wider.

“Do you mind telling us the name?.”she asked.

I looked up at her and shook my head.

“Are you afraid we will snatch him from you?.”Elsa teased and I blushed.

|•Darrel Pov•|

A smirk crawled up to my face as I watch Fontana’s show with Elsa.

Why would she call me her boyfriend when she is yet to accept my feelings for her.

Or, is she confessing the o me indirectly on the TV?.

Uhm..

That means she had finally accepted me as her boyfriend.

I grinned as I watched her act shyly on the TV.

Uhm..

Longworth’s POV

I thought she said he is just a friend.

Then, why the hell will she say that he’s her boyfriend on the show.

Why is she even putting his headband on in the first place?.

I shook my head and smiled when I saw her act shyly.

You’re in love, Fontana.

And I’m gonna make find out about that guy to see if he is a good one for you.

I don’t want you experiencing any heart break.

Fontana’s POV

“Okay. You didn’t tell me you’ve got a boyfriend”Samantha pouted when I walked inside the house.

“I told you a guy confessed to me in the closet, right?”I rolled my eyes.

“Yes, but.. wait, is it that same guy?, I mean, the guy that came to take you?, the lobby guy?, night party?, and the headband?…”Sam expounded.

“Gosh. You are way more smarter than I thought”I replied and she smirked.

“So, you accept him on the show, wow”Sam chuckled.

“I didn’t accept him”I chimed in.

“Then why did you call him your boyfriend”she asked.

“Well, because… be.. cause, I .. I.. uhm..”

“Oh, there!, see!”Samantha shouted.

I jolted back, startled.

“Okay, Samantha. What the hell?, why would you shout randomly”I glared at her after scouring my eyes around for what made her shout and couldn’t find one.

“And why would you like randomly also. I can see it, you love him, the way you act and..”

“Sam”I interrupted.

“I’m really tired. All I need now is a quiet nap not.. not you… making noise and worsening the situation”I added.

She stared at me for some minutes before replying.

“Sure. We will continue with this tommorow”

Uhm!.

Gosh.

Tomorrow?..

I rolled my eyes before ascending the stairs up to my room.

The blaring of my alarm woke me up the next morning.

I slowly opened my eyes and yawned hungrily.

I can’t believe I slept off while taking a nap.

And I didn’t even get to eat dinner.

I sat up and I remembered something when my eyes landed on the cupboard.

Of course!. Savannah’s chocolate. How could have forgotten.

I stood up and walked to the cupboard.

I opened it and there found the drink then I grab it before closing the cupboard.

I moved to the window and drew the curtains apart then opened the window.

The wind blew up now air and I smiled and stared Into th gentle morning.

I uncapped the drink and took a gulp from it.

“Before brushing?”a voice said behind me and I quickly turned around sharply.

“What the… Sam!, why did you sneak on me like that”I asked.

“Why are your drinking without brushing your mouth”she asked again.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I didn’t eat yesterday and I was hungry”I replied.

She scoffed and shook her head..

“So much for not brushing before drinking in the morning?”

“Anyways, your bath is ready”she added and left.

Geez. This lady.

I stepped out of my ride with my school bag and sighed when u saw the students are already gathering up.

I started walking towards the building and they all gathered around me.

*She has a boyfriend?.*

*Of course!*

*But, did you think the guy might be attending our school also?*

*No way*

*I don’t think so*

They murmured as I walked past them.

I sighed and finally walked inside the building.

It was the same thing inside also.

Geez.

Can they focus on somewhere else cause I might miss a step with those eyes.

I breathed in relief when we finally got to my class.

I pushed the door open and sauntered in.

All eyes turned to my direction and I scoffed.

Seriously?.

I went to take my seat and greeted Savannah and Fred.

Soon, the bell rang and the teacher walked in.

He began the lecture and he paid rapt attention to what he’s explaining.

Suddenly, Darrel came to me and drag me up from my seat.

Huh?

I stared at him in confusion as the class broke into murmurs.

He smiled at me and began taking me gently towards the door.

“Sorry, Ma’am. We will be back”he said to the teacher and she nodded with a smile.

Gosh.

Why won’t she say anything?.

He opened the entrance door and pulled me out first and also stepped out then he closed the door behind him swiftly.

“Miss Fontana”one of the guard called.

“Uhh….”

“Okay, I’m not going to kidnap her, uhm?.”Darrel rolled his eyes while the guard scoffed.

“We can’t let you take her anywhere unless you take us with you”the guard said.

“Gosh, you guys don’t get the hint, do you?. We’re lovers and we need an alone time together”Darrel replied.

The guards moved back a little and cleared their throats.

“But, the class is still going on..”the guard said again.

Darrel sighed softly and pulled me away without uttering any word.

He took me to the guys restroom and I threw him a quizzical look.

“Why are we here”I asked.

“Have you consider my feelings?”he asked instead.

I nudged my head forward and gulped down then folded my arms and leaned against the wall.

“Well, n.. no”

“Really?. And why did you call me your boyfriend back on the show yesterday and I have even forgotten I gave someone my headband”

“Oh, the day I passed out, you gave that to me”

“And why don’t you return it to me the next day?”he asked.

I stared at him and snorted.

“If the reason you dragged me here is because of the headband stuff, then, I will have to return back to the class”

“Okay, so, you don’t get to call me yours before you’ve accept my feelings and this is not like a game”he said angrily.

I looked at him for some minutes then took my face away.

“I… I have to go to the restroom, I’ll be back”I stuttered and turned to leave.

“Fontana”he called with a sigh.

“Yes?”I turned back to him.

“Be.. back soon, I have something to tell you”

I stared at him for some minutes before nodding.

“Ok”

And I headed out of the restroom to the girl’s.

As I made to open the door, it suddenly opened from the other end revealing Mia.

Her eyes beamed when she saw me.

“Fontana”she called.

“Oh, please”I scoffed and brushed my body against her slightly as I walked inside.

I walked over to the sink and opened the faucet in it and washed both of my hands while staring at the mirror.

I splashed some water on my face and breathed out.

I moved the loose strands of my head backwards and left the sink.

I walked over to the door and opened it.

Surprisingly, I found Mia leaning on the wall near to the door.

Huh?.

“Hey”she turned to me and waved.

I rolled my eyes and as I made to move away, she said something that made me stop dead in my track.

“Have you forgotten your secret is still with me?”

I turned to her and stared at her speechlessly.

Why is she bringing that up now.

“I still have your secret with me, Fontana. I sometimes wonder what will happen if the people see their Fontana in that clip!”

I turned to her and shook my head.

“You’re just being vulnerable”I said and turned back again.

“Darrel!”she said again, making me stop.

“Did you really think he loves you?”she added and took a step closer to me with her arms folds under her boobs.

I sighed softly and turned to her fully.

“Stop taking chances, Mia.. it…”

“It was just a game. All the affections he’s showing to you now are fake cause he and his friends already placed a bet on you, all that he’s doing is to get what he wants and win an award and believe me, he won’t stop until he get what he wants from you”
