My voice got stuck in my throat, when I saw him staring at me without blinking. Suddenly I realised I'm still on his arms, clearing my throat to get his attention. He blinked his eyes, putting me down on the floor.

"I uh. Um thank-k you" I face palmed myself mentally for shuttering.

He just walked out without even saying a word making me stunned.

I run after him, "Mr Maxwell wait"

He turned around, facing me but before I can even speak a word someone came from behind placing their arms on my shoulder.

"Hey party girl" a familiar voice reached my ears, making me look at the person. Brandon.

"Hi"

"We meet again"

"Um" I gazed at Mr Maxwell to see him glaring at the hands on my shoulder, clinching his jaw.

I step aside making Brandon arms fall off my shoulder.

"Whatcha doing her-" he got interrupted by Mr Maxwell stomping away leaving me and Brandon confused.

"What happened to him?" Brandon asked

I shrugged my shoulder not knowing the answer. Maybe he is still angry from yesterday's incident.

Go Talk to him. My brain interject.

Ohh no no.

"Hey are you okay?" Brandon furrowed his eyebrows looking at me.

"Yeah. Uh can I talk to you later. I have some work to do" I tried sounding as polite as possible.

"Okay" he replied and walked out of the hallway.

Sighing deeply, I rubbed my forehead.

"Olivia"

I turned around to see Mrs Williams coming towards me.

"Mrs Williams, I have been searching for you" I told her

"Sorry dear. I have been little busy with all these works" she smiled looking tired.

I looked at her arching my eyebrows up, the look you give someone when you're about to scold them

She understood what I'm trying to say, "I know I know I shouldn't work much. But there was so many wor-"

"What I'm here for?" I cut her off, grabbing her hands and pulling her towards her office.

"I'm alright, child" she rolled her eyes at me

I ignored her, opening the door of her office and then making her sit on the chair.

"Now I will do the work. You sit here and tell me what work should I do" I said mentally face palming myself when I realized what I just said. I don't even know what work do.

She chuckled seeing my reaction, "everything is done. Just be on time tomorrow"

"Yes Mrs Williams" I said in a tone like (yesssssss Mr Williamsssss)

Shaking her head at me, "you never grow up"

Just I was about to reply someone knocked at the door.

"Ah, Mr Maxwell. Come come" Mrs stood up from her chair.

I turned around to look Mr Maxwell was standing near the door. He eyes meets mine, and there it goes. My heart started to beat so freaking fast. I can't look away from him and right now all I wanted to do is kis-

"Olivia" I jumped slightly when Mrs Williams called my name and my day dreaming was interrupted again.

"I-uh I um. I think I'm gonna go. Will see you tomorrow Mrs Williams" I said point me thumb towards the door.

She looked at me then at Mr Maxwell and then back at me. Surprisingly Mr Maxwell has not move an inch. Still standing where he was before.

"Take care, child" Mrs Williams nodded at me and I return it with a lip tight smile not knowing what say further I turned around to walk out but instead I got bumped into a hard muscular chest and that belong to, yes you guess it right my friends. It's none other than, Mr Maxwell.

I backed away chuckling nervously, I step to the right and at the same time he too step to his left and again we are in each other's way. Then again I step to my left and again he step to his right. My heart was now about to pop out, I looked at him while his eyes were already focused on me. I looked away, because it was too much to handle.

He step aside letting me go first, I took one last look at him and then sprinted off.

Tossing around my bed, thinking about the encounter I had with Mr Maxwell. It's 1 in the morning and I didn't even feel sleepy. My head is clouded with so many thoughts.

Did he do that on purpose? Or it just happened? But the way he was looking-

Ughhhhhh!!!!!! Stop stop

The way he was looking, the way he was talking, the way he was smiling. I got it okayyy.

You sounds like your world revolves around him, what about your college? Don't you have your exam in a few days?

My ambitious sided brain blurted out all the things that I was dodging out or trying to avoid.

Don't you listen to her, you always wanted someone in your life. You waited for 22 years of your life to finally meet someone you like and now don't let it go.

My romantic side of brain cut in between, saying all those things that my heart wants.

My head hurts, my head hurts

I jumped out of my bed throwing my pillow aside, and climbing down the stairs. Switching on the kitchen light, I took out the milk carton, pouring some in a saucepan to warm it up.

While the milk was warming up, I open a top shelf taking out honey.

"You're still up?" Freya said making me jump in surprise as the bottle of honey slipped out my hands. It crashed down the floor, scattering all over.

I stood there with my hands on my heart, my eyes wide like saucer.

"Oh, fuck" Freya cussed

When I was out of my daze, I looked at her and glared, "you scared the shit out of me"

She stood there smiling shyly, scratching her head.

"What-" before I can complete the sentence I saw the milk boiling out, I rushed towards it turning off the switch of induction.

Sighing, I placed my hands on my head massaging it lightly. My head fucking hurt.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I couldn't hold it anymore, I turned around and hugged Freya tightly.

We didn't say anything for a while. I pulled back and said," I need to clean this up" looking at the mess we made.

"I will help you"

We cleaned it and threw the broken glasses in the dustbin.

Pouring the warm milk into two cups, I passed one to Freya.

We drank our milk quietly, thinking to ourselves.

"You know I'm there for you. You can share anything with me" Freya said breaking the silence as she placed her hands on mine.

"I know" I smiled at her.

We again fell into silence when I remember something.

"Oh btw tomorrow is the annual charity event. Be home by 6, it starts at 7" I told her while sipping milk from the cup

"Sure. Do I need to bring something for the kids?" She asked

"There will be big philanthropist who will donate money for those kids. But you could donate the money as much you like"

"Oh okay"

"Uh I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow will be a busy day" I said sliding off the chair walking towards the kitchen to place the cup inside the sink.

"Yeah me too" she yawned as she started walking towards her room

"Freya" I called her

She turned around, "yes"

I didn't speak for a while and the worried look grew on her face

"Thank you. I feel better now"

"Oh Lemme punch you on your face and see if you feel better than" she glared at me

"What" I laughed

"Don't ever say thank you, dumb" she run and hugged me tightly

"Ahh, you're squeezing me. I can't breathe"

"Bear with me"

I laughed at her, now feeling much better. Ohhh what would I do without her.
