He Hates Me, He Hates Me Not

Chapter 9

I went to drive home from Sherman's place. Still thinking about him.

"Does he hates me? Or does he likes me?" I asked in my head.

Whatever it is, i still hate him. He caused me so much trouble.

After twenty minutes, i reached home. Then there's something on the doorstep. A pink rose.

"Whoa... Who is this for?" I picked up the rose and asked myself. "If it's for me... Who would give it to me?" I asked myself again.

Maybe Eric gave me. That's sweet though.

I went into the apartment and went into my room straight. I quickly sat on the bed and i called Eric.

"Hey dear." I greeted.

"Hey Chels. What makes you want to call me?" He replied and asked.

So... He isn't the one who put the rose at the doorstep?

"Erm... I just called to say... I miss you." I said, forgetting about the rose.

"Aww... I miss you too." Eric said. "I'm sorry babe but i have to finish my assignment by tonight. Will see you tomorrow? Good night!" Eric said quickly.

I haven't even had the chance to say good night... And it's not even night. It's just evening.

After about three minutes i had put down the phone, Belle burst into the room.

"Oh my god!" I screamed. "Belle! Ugh! You shocked me!" I shouted.

"Oh... I'm sorry. I'm just excited now!" Belle jumped around the room.

"Why are you so excited?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Because... James gave me a pink rose! But i don't see it at the doorstep, he said-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the pink rose. I was holding it.

I looked down at my hand to see the rose.

"I think this must be for you then." I passed to Belle and smiled.

"Whoa thanks! Someone else might have already taken it." Belle took the rose.

"Oh come on. Who would want to take the rose man?" I laugh.

"You took it..." She raised her eyebrow.

"That's because i live here." I folded my arms and chuckled.

Then the both of us laugh together.

<3 <3 <3

"Pass me the pepper. Thanks!" Belle said.

I passed Belle the pepper and continue to eat.

"Wait wait wait... Don't tell me you like James." I stared at Belle.

Belle started to giggle.

"Shit. You don't like Sherman anymore?!" I asked.

"Sherman was a great friend Chels." Belle just smiled and chuckled a little bit.

Belle and i talked about James, Eric and Sherman throughout our dinner.

Basically, James and Belle had been going out to date. Belle is really weird. But at least she's still loyal.

<3 <3 <3

It's almost a week to... Valentine's Day! One of my most favourite event of the year besides my birthday. But... My birthday isn't that great this year. All because of Sherman. Ugh!

As usual, the same routine every chemistry lesson.

"So..." Sherman said out of the blue.

"What?" I looked at him.

"Valentine's Day in a week yeah..." Sherman touched his chin.

"So?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Do you think Eric would get you anything?"

This is too much!

"So what if he don't get me anything?" I asked, furious.

"Ehem!" Mr fred interrupted. "Ms Grant and Mr Wood, i hope you guys can continue your interesting conversation after my lesson. Thank you."

I rolled my eyes at Sherman.

"Sorry Mr Fred!" I apologised.

After chemistry, i went to my locker to put some of my chemistry stuff in there.

Then i saw Sherman chasing after me. What the hell does he wants?

"So Ms Grant," Sherman said as he lean at my locker. "You haven't answer my question."

"You don't need to know my answers." I said without looking at him as i keep my stuff.

"But i need to know-"

"Hey baby!" Eric came and kissed my cheek.

Finally someone saved me from that ridiculous Sherman!

"Oh," Sherman said. "I'll see you soon, Ms Grant." Sherman winked.

"What the hell? Did he just wink at you?" Eric said in awe.

"Ignore him dear. He's crazy, you know that."

"Who the hell does he think he is?" Eric was furious.

This is not going good. Ugh.

"Come follow me, i'll let you calm down." I comforted him.

<3 <3 <3

I lied down on my bed early. It was only 8.45pm and i'm already on my bed. Then my door opened.

"Hey, you asleep?" Belle asked.

"No. Come in."

"Are you sick? You're in bed early." Belle said worriedly and sat on my bed. Then she touched my forehead. "Oh... Ok. So what's wrong?"

"I'm just tired..." I said as i close my eyes and rubbed my temples.

"Don't lie! Something must have happened in school right?"

"Alright, fine. It's Sherman and Eric." Still closing my eyes.

I told her all that had happened today. I really don't know what's going to happen next.
