Chapter 36 I want to propose Alexander, but he isn't even asking me to prom

VICTORIA'S POV

Uhhh! I was done with this nagging argument between me and my conscience, about whether I should tell Alexander about my feelings or not.

Sitting in the classroom where our biology teacher was busy explaining the anatomy of a human, in which I was least interested, since, I have already studied this material and was well-versed with that, I was thinking about how should I tell Alexander about my feelings for him.

Yup, you guys heard that right. I was thinking of proposing to him, for real this time.

It has been 3 days since that incident outside the club happened. Though he had never expressed any strong feelings towards me, however, I don't know why, I get this feeling that he also likes me, especially, after the way how he protected me that day.

Besides, the fight outside the club that day made me realize, that my life was full of animosity and danger. Who should I fight for?

I don't even know if I will get to see the next day or not. Now, amidst all these things, if I have to live like a coward, hiding my feelings, hiding everything from everyone, then was it even worth it to live?

"Aren't you saying too much? Don't go that deep into things. People might start thinking that you care for yourself." Carla scoffed in between making me roll my eyes at her.

Okay fine, I am bluffing. It's all Carla who has been nagging me to tell him how I feel before, he is snatched away by other girls, because let me be honest, this university is filled with sexy and beautiful girls.

"Happy?" I asked her after praising her, to which she nodded happily.

However, proposing him wasn't an easy feat either. I was terribly confused, about how should I go with this process.

Yup, it was a process I know I have to go through because I was sure that whatever I feel for him was real.

Should I just directly go to him and say, 'Hey I like you and want to give it a go, do you like me too?' but that would sound too lame and rude.

Or should I go for something romantic and poetic to make his heart swell, that he finds it hard to reject me? But that won't suit my personality. It will look too fake if I do something like that.

As I was busy in my thoughts thinking about different methods of proposing Alexander, something hit my head, making me jerk my head in the direction from where the note came.

"Are you fuckin' crazy?" I mouthed to Chris who was grinning like an idiot he was.

Opening the note that he had thrown on me, I read,

"Who are you going to prom with?"

This reminds me, I was still without a partner and practically ineligible to join the prom that was going to be held tomorrow night to celebrate 50 years of the university.

"I don't have a partner yet, what about you and others?" I write before looking at our teacher, relaxed when she wasn't looking this way, and throwing the note back at him.

It hit him square in the nose, pleasuring me as I giggled at his squinting face.

I don't know what he found funny in my note but as soon as he opened my note, he started giggling as he bends his head to hide from the teacher's gaze.

I looked at him out of the corner of my eyes as he scribbled something again. He threw the note at me, aiming for my face again. However, this time I was prepared and caught it right in time.

Smirking at his failed attempt, I opened the note to see what he wrote, but my smile froze in place, as I looked at him in disbelief.

It said,

"I am going with Angela, Aiden is going with Katie, and Sean is going with Tina. I am not sure about Daniel but I heard some girl talking about asking him out today."

"You guys already have partners? So fast?" I mouthed to him in disbelief as he shrugged.

"What about me? Am I the only one left without a partner?" I wrote, hurriedly throwing the note at him, waiting impatiently for him to reply.

After reading the note, he looked at me, before shaking his head in my direction as if thinking I was a lost cause.

Well, I was without a partner anyways, doesn't that make me a lost cause.

I waited for him to write whatever he was writing while glancing at the teacher from time to time who was busy teaching with her back facing us.

I didn't have to wait for long, as soon I saw a note flying towards me. It read,

"Well, you wouldn't have come to this, if you weren't hell bend on rejecting everyone who asked you to the prom."

I hate to admit it, but, he was right.

When we came to college today, and the talk about prom was all over the place, guys were lining in my class to ask girls out. Luckily, I was one of those single girls because my partner was not decided yet.

Unlike, Tina, Angela, Katie, and others, I didn't have any partner, which made me eligible for being asked out to dance. However, I refused everyone politely as I was waiting for someone special's proposal.

Now that I think about Alexander, I wonder if he had said yes or asked any girl out, yet.

I took out a fresh note and asked, "What about Alex?" before throwing it back to Chris.

Reading my note he just shrugged which made me disappointed.

Placing my head on the desk sighing heavily I waited for the bell to ring as all my good mood from earlier was spoiled.

I exited the classroom as soon as I heard, the bell ringing.

This was my last class for the day. I was hoping to have fun with guys, but now that my mood is all spoiled, I am planning to go meet thunder after having lunch.

Placing my bag lazily on my left shoulder, I shoved my books inside my locker, before closing it with a loud bang.

"Woah! Someone looks angry." Daniel commented as I saw him leaning on his locker while he was looking at me with a quirked brow.

"AHH! Don't talk to me right now. I am super pissed." I said before walking away.

Jogging along with me, he placed his hand on my shoulder before pulling me closer, as the corridor was swarmed by students coming out from their classes.

"And what is it that made our sassy girl, pissed?" Daniel asked making me chuckle at his sassy remark.

"I don't have a partner for the prom yet. Doesn't that makes me ineligible for tomorrow's dance?" I said, before hanging my head disappointed.

"Aww...so this is what it's all about? Don't worry, I can- ouch!" Daniel started but stopped mid-sentence making me look at him in question as he halted his steps making me stop along with him, because of his hand.

Before I could ask him what happened, I smelled the familiar scent that I have come to love, near me.

"Ouch! Will you release your hold now?" Daniel whispered yelled making me look behind him, before rolling my eyes as I saw Alexander holding the back of Daniel's neck.

"How dare you leave me behind to pick all the balls and come here chat with girls?" Alexander said before he jumped aside and placed his hand on my other shoulder.

"Well, wasn't it, 'your' punishment to begin with? Why would I help you, knowing too well, that, Mr. Peter will probably kill me if he came to know that I helped you." Daniel said as they started walking together.

"Guys, can you remove your hands? I am not your handstand you know?" I said, feeling burdened when these heavyweights were suddenly placed on both my shoulders.

But, did they listen to me?

"Still, as a good friend, you could've lent me your help in placing them. The punishment was about picking the balls not placing them." Alexander said pouting his lips.

'Good, ignore me, now.' I thought angrily.

"Oh, I forgot to greet you. How was your day beautiful?" Alexander asked me, which made me looked at him with anger-filled eyes.

'You hadn't forgotten to put your heavy hand on my shoulder! You ask me how was my day? Well, I was swarmed by guys asking me to prom, but the guy that I wanted, wasn't even anywhere close.' I thought in my head as I looked at him.

"Woah! Why are you shooting daggers at me?" He asked as he raised his hands in the air as if surrendering in defeat.

"You! You.…don't talk to me." I said before pushing both of them away and leading straight to the canteen.

"What happened to her?" I heard Alexander ask Daniel as I was leaving.

"What happened to me? Love happened! You happened!" I wanted to scream at him but controlled my anger, as I didn't want to ruin my mood, since, I still have to think of ways of confessing my love to him.

This guy is dumb. He wouldn't even know of his feelings even when he falls in love with me. Looks like it's me who needs to take the first step here.
