Chapter 28 Part 2 *Save Me*

~Sophia

“She’s hot,” a guy whispers softly to his friend.

I pretend not to hear it and look innocent. He thinks I haven’t heard him. Fortunately, I have a good hearing. I bite my lip to stop the smile forming on my lips.

I don’t know why people keep staring at me. It’s like I’m a bizarre creature. I’ve been studying in this school for three years, and this is my fourth and last year but they just notice me now. Maybe Aunt V overdid my makeover.

Draky and I are on our way to our classroom, minutes before the bell will ring.

 “Is she Drake’s girlfriend?” I hear someone asks from behind.

Draky’s mouth forms onto a smirk.

I scowl at him for finding it amusing and then I remember that he wants me to be his girlfriend for the bet. I try to walk faster, I really do, but with these heels I’m wearing, it’s close to impossible. Besides, my ankle still hurts from last night. Ugh!

Suddenly, I’m regretting wearing this dress with these heels, curling my hair and putting make up. And then I remember Draky’s face earlier.

And that makes it worth it. I made him speechless. I made him stare at me with his mouth hanging open. And I know I made the right choice.

When the bell rings, Parker doesn’t waste a minute and start to choose who will discuss first. I don’t know if it’s intentional because he isn’t calling my name. I have a feeling that Draky and I will be the last to report.

I wonder if today’s his last day in teaching us. When will he go back to his college? We haven’t really talked. I hope tomorrow we will. Before he leaves.

There are a lot of discussions going on, one after another. But only three topics grab my attention. The first one is about beauty and brain. Cristina and Xander discuss it. Their topic reminds me of the night when Draky and I talked about love.

They say that your beauty doesn’t matter when you don’t have knowledge in your brain. I think it’s for shallow people who always want to look perfect instead of studying. And then they explain the relevance of the two by adding quotations from books and songs.

The next topic is about attraction and intelligence. At first I thought it was the same as beauty and brain but I was wrong.

Ella and Mitch tell us that if a person is intelligent, he or she will more likely be attracted to handsome guys or girls. Hah.  I thought it’s just me.

I never know that it’s a fact. Until now.

Handsome guys are my weakness. Now I know.

 Is my intelligence the only reason why I was attracted to Draky? Is that it? Maybe, because now I know the real him. Now I’ll use my intelligence to outsmart him.
