Lani - Eni L.S. (good novels to read TXT) 📗

in confusion, "You're still here?"

Blondie stomps her foot, squeals and walks out with her girls following her. 

I turn back to my lunch shaking my head. I nudge Revi, "Dude it was like we were in Mean Girls". We both laugh oblivious to the silence around our table. My fork is halfway to my mouth when I look up at everyone staring at us. 

"Spaghetti?" I ask holding out my forkful of spaghetti. They crack up and I smile at them.

"You guys were awesome!" Red gushes.

"We just don't like bitches", I say, going back to my food.

"Um you're a bitch", Revi smirks at me.

I roll my eyes at her. "Okay I don't like those kind of bitches. Bully bitches. Bulltches. Hey I made a new word. Bulltches." I say feeling proud of myself.

Revi just shakes her head at me, "You're an idiot."

"And you're a hoe", I retort.

"You guys are weird", Rachel says. We snicker nudging each other. She does not know half of it.

"So why did you guys pretend not to have good English?" she questions.

"It was her idea", I point at Revi.

She gasps. "I only said first period. You're the one who wanted to pretend till lunch."

"But it was your idea, wasn't it?" I snicker at her.

"Yeah but I didn't wan...”

"Nope. It was all you," I interrupt.

"Bitch! Fine! I just wanted to know how you guys would react. You guys are awesome by the way", Revi explains. We were answering their questions when I felt the back of my neck get warm. I didn't want to turn around but my curiosity took over. I look behind me and my eyes meet his green eyes. I quickly look away. Stupid! Can I not be more obvious? Uggh

"If you should know, he's been staring at you ever since we walked in", Sarah says to me with a smirk.

"What are you talking about?" I pretend to not know what she is talking about. Everyone is looking at me now. Revi narrows her eyes at me.

"Axel Mason", Sarah says. Oooh even his name sounds hot.

"Axel who?" I ask just when the bell rang.

Saved by the bell! 

I quickly got up and through my rubbish in the trash and wait for the others to do the same.

Revi comes up to me and whispers, "We're so gonna talk after". She frowns at me.

I smirk at her, "What's to talk about? Let's go to class".

We stopped pretending to be stupid for the rest of the day. All our classes were great. Especially Art. I love drawing. It's a hobby of mine and it’s quite therapeutic. I especially love drawing traditional designs. I've been trying to design an arm band tattoo but I still haven't drawn a perfect design yet.

I didn't see Axel again after lunch. Actually I did. But being a scared idiot that I am, I avoided him at all cost. But I knew he was there whenever I get that warm feeling at the back of my neck. I just ignored it.

Chapter 3

 

"Ok spill!" Revi corners me as soon as we got back to our room.

"Spill what?" I ask innocently and walk to my bed. Of course she follows and jumps next to me.

"Axel."

I roll my eyes at her. "What about him? I know nothing about him."

"Then why did you keep stealing glances at him in class? You think I didn't notice? Dude you can't hide anything from me," she narrows her eyes at me.

"Arrgh honest! I don't know. I just think he's hot. Really hot. Those eyes", I sigh.

Revi giggles, "Oooh someone has a crush". She pokes my arm playfully.

I smack her arm and of course she smacks me back. "I first saw him yesterday from the window. Dayuumn I thought I'd swoon right there. He is one fine specimen," I say dreamily. "And I get this warm feeling at the back of my neck whenever he's near. Even when I can't see him I know he's there." 

I look at Revi and she is just staring at me with wide eyes. 

"Do you think I'm crazy? I meant really...do you think I imagined that feeling?"

"That is so weird. You're so weird," she laughs and I joined her.

"Dude really? That's all you can say?" I push at her. 

Revi quickly sits up with a gasp. She looks at me with wide eyes. "OMG what if its destiny? What it means he's the one for you? For real though. I think he feels the same cos he kept staring at you".

I look at her with fake concern and reach to touch her forehead with the back of her hand. She narrows her eyes at me. "What are you doing?"

"I'm just checking if you're ok. Cos crap just came out of your mouth." I crack up and roll off the bed when started hitting me. 

"Hey bitch you asked for my opinion and I gave it," she folds her arms in front of chest and glares at me.

I decided I do not want to carry on this conversation. I quirked my eyebrow and gave her a lopsided grin.

"Let's talk about you."

"Pfft what about me?"

"I noticed a certain cute dude staring at you in English. Don't tell me you didn't notice she-who-knows everything", I say that last bit with my fingers doing the open and close signs.

"I have no idea what you are talking," Revi denies.

"If I recall, his name is Rhett," I wiggle my eyebrows at her.

"Stop that! I hate it when you do that eyebrow thingy," she glares at me. "You mean this?" I wiggle my eyebrows again and laugh. 

"For real though I think he likes you," I nod twice. 

She scoffs and jumps off the bed. "I'm gonna take a shower," she runs away.

"You can run but I will get you!" I yell out. She slams the bathroom door.

I chuckle and walk to my desk to get my sketchpad out. I walk to my bed and stare at my pad and pencil. What to draw? What to draw? Green eyes found their way into my mind. I started drawing those eyes and next thing I know I am sketching a whole face. Yes it’s Axel's face. I close my eyes. Uggh what is wrong with me? I continue drawing anyway.

 

Revi got back just when I finish my drawing. I try to hide my sketchpad not wanting her to see it and sat up straight. She stood and narrowing her suspicious eyes at me.

"What is it? You're hiding something."

"Nothing," I quickly reply. Damn it, I said it too fast. I hate that she knows me too well. I can't hide anything from her. And I love her because of that too. Revi says nothing and just stares at me. I stare back. She raises her eyebrow. Shit I hate that look. It's her "you really wanna do this?" look.

I throw my hands up, "Oh fine! I was drawing. Here," I throw my sketchpad in front of me. Revi grabs it and looked at my drawing of Axel. I didn't just draw his face. I drew his whole body with clothes of course. I'm not a pervert. In my drawing, he is sitting on the edge of a desk with his hands in his pockets. He has that sexy look on his face. That sexy half-grin like he knows exactly where your thoughts are when you're staring at him. Yeah thoughts like him catching my lower lip with teeth, sucking it in his mouth and....woah No No No! Stop it Lani! 

I look at Revi and the look on her face was priceless. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is hanging open. I giggle at her.

"You can wipe that drool off your mouth now".

She looks at me with her mouth still hanging open and points to my drawing.

"Dude! This is WOW. Girl you got him perfectly. And here I thought you weren't lookin", she winks at me. She looks at the drawing and back up again.

"Nah dude. Seriously. This is your best drawing yet", she says convincingly.

"Ngaww you're my best friend. You're supposed to say that", I smirk at her.

"No I'm supposed to be straight up cos I'm your bestie and girl I am telling you this is your best one ever". I give her a "whatever" look.

"I think you found your muse!" She screams and jumps on my bed to hug me.

"Eww dude get off me. Go put some clothes on", I laugh and point to her towel. "Whatever", she tosses her head and snaps her fingers.

Then someone knocks on our door. "I'll get it. You go put some clothes on,” I tell her as I go to answer the door.

 

 

 

"Hi!" 

"Hey guys!"  It was Sarah, Rachel, and Andy. "Come in. Revina's getting dressed".

I don't know why but I don't want anyone else to call my best friend Revi except me. I get really annoyed when people call her anything but her full name. Like that time her ex-boyfriend Pat called her Vina. I got up in his face and demanded that he call Revi by her given name. No one can shorten or give her a nickname. Only I, as her best friend is given that privilege. I know, I sound so selfish. I’m just protective and possessive of her and vice versa.

Revi comes out of the bathroom in sweat pants and her How To Train Your dragon t-shirt I got her for her birthday. 

"Hey Revina!" the girls say to her.

"Hey guys. What's happening?"

"We thought you'd want to go down to dinner together", Rachel says.

"Cool. We'd totes love to! I'm just gonna go grab a shower first. That ok with ya'll?" I walk to my closet and grab a towel. I pull out a pair of black tights and my 49ers jumper then walk to my drawers to get my underwear.

"Yes no worries", Rachel nods.

I took a quick shower. I didn't wash my hair cos it would take too long to wash and dry. I dry myself and got dressed. I open the door and the girls jump trying to hide something. They smile at me trying to act all innocent. I put my hands on my hips and narrow my eyes at them.

"What are you hiding?" I ask suspiciously.

"Nothing," they all answer shaking their heads.

"Yeah and I'm stupid", I roll my eyes. "Out with it. What is it?" then I notice Revi fidgeting, holding something behind her back. I look at my desk and notice my sketchpad wasn't where I left it. My face suddenly fill with horror.

"You bitch! Tell me you didn't!" i screech at Revi.

"I didn't?" She says coyly. I scream and run after her. "I'm gonna kill you! You fuckin bitch!"

Revi screams and jumps over the girls. They all jump up with hands up in surrender.

"We're so sorry!" Sarah apologizes.

"We didn't mean to go through your stuff. It was just lying there and we were curious. We just wanted to see you drawings", Rachel jumps in.

"You're good by the way", Andy added.

I just stand there glaring at them. This is so embarrassing. I can't believe they've seen my drawing of Axel. They probably think I'm crazy or a stalker. Arrrgh. I'm gonna hurt Revi when we're alone.

"We're really sorry Lani. Next time we'll ask before going through your private stuff", Sarah grimaces. Revi is just nodding her head from the back.

"Uggh you bitches! Uggh this is
