Lillian Grey leaned down on her desk and closed her eyes to relax . Without her knowledge, she had fallen asleep .
"Lillian?" a voice called her .
The voice didn't disturb her but, instead, it felt caring . With the sweet voice calling her gently, Lillian's senses awakened as she could smell the scent of lavender near her . The fragrance wasn't too much but mild, and Lillian liked it . It only intensified her relaxation . She moaned on her sleep with every single time she heard this person calling her name .
"Lillian?" the voice raised now .
Lillian's eyes flinched as she felt the impact over her head . She reached out her hands to catch the person standing in front of her . Luckily, she could find those hands . They were soft, and it fits perfectly inside Lillian's palms . She squeezed those wrists and massaged it .
"haha . . " Lillian chuckled .
She loved playing with those hands .
"What? Do you like that?" Lillian smirked .
"Anna?" Lillian raised her head to see a girl, not Anna, in front of her .
The girl looked frozen . Lillian immediately pulled out her hands and realized that it is someone else and not her friend Anna .
She coughed .
"Giselle!" Lillian spoke .
Giselle is her classmate and the person she isn't acquainted with in any sorts .
Giselle melted from her frozen state when she heard Lillian's voice . Her body recoiled .
"Ah, yes," Giselle replied clearing her throat .
"What?" "Do need anything?" Lillian asked .
Giselle looked hesitant . Her eyes wandered around the classroom unable to face the person in front of her .
Lillian raised her eyebrows and looked intimately at her .
"What?" she asked again .
Giselle got frightened . She wanted to retreat, but something made her stay . Something made her speak to Lillian .
"C… can you wait for me after school?" Giselle stammered .
"Why?" Lillian responded instantly .
"I… I need t… to talk to you . Please" Giselle said sighing . It was almost like a battle for her to speak to Lillian .
Lillian wanted to ignore, but the final 'Please' made her change mind . The sweet voice, lavender odor, and the 'Please' persuaded her mind .
"Okay," Lillian replied .
Giselle nodded and walked out without saying anything . Lillian looked puzzled, and as she turned to face away from tracing Giselle's path, she saw the gossip girl gang eying on her . They whispered while looking at her .
Lillian's eyes changed from puzzled to 'fiery fire . ' The girls shunted their vision from Lillian . They aren't strong enough to face Lillian's wraith . Lillian Grey stood up from her seat and went to the cafeteria .
…
The school ended with Lillian rejecting Anna and Diego's walk back home together offer . She didn't necessarily inform them about her meeting with Giselle that afternoon . They didn't bother her either .
Lillian waited near the basketball court . That place has a vending machine and beautiful basketball guys team playing after school . Lillian had her fun time looking at the tall guys playing in sweat and scoring points .
"Lillian Grey" the familiar voice from the afternoon made Lillian flinch as she turned back to face Giselle .
Giselle looked calm . Her blue eyes were pretty . The lavender scent still hitting Lillian as she tried hard to stay focused .
"What is it, Giselle?"Lillian initiated .
Giselle's eyes wavered . Her body trembled as she faced Lillian and locked eyes with her . Her hands entangled with each other and she kept biting her lower lip .
Lillian noted her anxiousness . She felt bad . Maybe she wanted help with something . Lillian's mind thought about comforting her .
"Relax and take a deep breath . You look troubled . " Lillian comforted her .
Giselle followed her and took a deep breath . It helped her to an extent . But soon, retrieved back to her shivering state .
By this point, Lillian got tired from the wait . She played a little trick to trigger Giselle to talk .
"If you don't have anything, then I'll leave right now," Lillian said while taking a few steps away from Giselle .
Poor girl, Giselle got scared and didn't want to waste an opportunity like this . She gulped and gathered her courage to speak out .
"Wait!!!" Giselle feared .
"I have something to tell you, Lillian" Giselle finally spoke .
"YES," Lillian cheered .
Lillian encouraged her like the basketball cheerleading single squad .
Giselle felt rushed . She couldn't hold it in any longer as she said those words to Lillian while shutting her eyes .
"I Love You"
