My Valentine

Chapter 17 - Val? Valentine?

Valentine Regens

Joey really keep his words.. He really keep his wrods about everything. He did cooked breakfast , lunch and dinner. Joseph helped him along with Natalia.

When we almost bumped to each other , he turned around and take another way. When our eyes met , he quickly looked away and go somewhere else. He doesn't even eat when we're eating.. he ate when he cooked and hen take a shower when everyone else eating.

Until the camp was over , he's good at avoiding and almost never appear in front of my eyes. My eyes was the one who looked for him..

I felt very happy , so happy and even Leah thought I go Lottery or something. I was beyond happy when Joey never appear into my life again. Harry is back to usual again even I have to explain to him about Raymond. He's really sweet to me.

When I got into the bus , I saw Joey sit at the back talking with the girls and I sit with Harry. I love this.. he doesn't bother me anymore and I'm like a dog who had been cage for years and had been set free by my owner

As we get back.. the exam week start and I never saw Joey from that day. It's a really good thing though.. me and Harry had 3 dates already and I like him.. I guess.

"One last exam History" I walked into the class and suddenly a paper ball landed into my face. I saw Joey and Joseph froze as they know it hit me. Joseph ran to me

"Sorry Val.. It was an accident" He said

"It's fine"

"Go away" Leah said

Yes.. I have History with Joey. This is the first time I've seen him again after that camp. He's really good at avoiding and not appearing in front of my face. Our eyes met for a split second but after that he looked away.

"Good thing he doesn't bother you anymore" Leah whispered as we walked to the back of the class. Leah doesn't know.. I'm a bad bestfriend but I think it will be better that she doesn't know about it for now

"Class! Sit down on your seat and let's start this" My teacher started to give out the test paper and let's do this. 2 hours of exam but I got it 1 and a half hour. Now what am I going to do? 30 minutes is quite a lot..

I turned to Leah who sits beside me and she's sleeping. What the hell? Has she done it or not? I looked at her paper and yes she's already done it. Glad to see that.. I turned my head to the window and my eyes landed to Joey.

The sunlight illuminates his face , it shows his face perfectly. He's seriously doing his test.. I saw him biting on his pen and then write the answer and the biting his pen again. I can't help but chuckled silently seeing him so serious

Suddenly his face turned to the window.. looking out to it. I wonder what is he looking at? My eyes widen as his eyes found mine. He immediately turned away that second.. after that he turned to the window until the bell rang.

He gave the test paper to my teacher and he ran out from the class so fast. He really keep his words..

"Yes! We're finish!" Leah squealed and I just smiled happily to her

"Let's go eat pizza" She pulled me out from the class room.. dragging me fast

I saw Joey talking to Natalia , he leaned to the locker and laughing with her. My heart just crunch and I don't know what is it.. I don't know why I felt that

"Leah" I called and she stopped , she looked at me raising her eyebrows

"What? Why?" She asked

"I'm not feeling good" I lied.. Sorry Leah

"Really? You must be tired , you kept sleeping late these days" She said and I nodded

"Let me take you home"

"No no.. I'm fine. I want to walk alone" She looked at me and I know she knows somethting going on. We have been friends since we're 7. We know each other hearts just by looking at each other

"No need to lie Val.. Call me if you want to talk about it" She smiled

"Thankyou Leah!" I smiled and waved at her

"Val" I turned to see Harry running to me

"Hey no need to run.. what's up?" I asked

"So how's the exam?" He asked

"Good I guess. How about you?"

"I think I'll pass this exam" He chuckled and I smiled

"You already did your best"

"Uhmm Val , are you free at the 24th?" He asked and I shook my head

"Sorry I'm in LA that day" I said and he nodded

"LA?"

"Yeah , me and my family always gather together at Christmas"

"Oh that's nice.. I'll see you next year then" He patted my head and suddenly this question came out from my mind

"Harry.. can I ask you something?"

"Yeah? Anything"

"Why do you call me Val not Valentine?" I asked and he laughed

"Valentine is mouthful , Val is shorter" Joey said that my name is beautiful..

"Oh okay"

"Why asking that kind of question? Aren't you used to be call Val?" He asked and I shook my head

"Just asking.. my head is weird after exams" I said

"Okay then. See you next year" He said and I turned my body.. and walked away suddenly I was pulled away by someone. A car pass by so fast and it almost hit me if someon- Joey.

My heart beats 3 times faster than before , he looked at the car and then he turned to me. He immediately released his grip from my arm. He looked down and turned his body around.. and walked away

"Joey" I called and he stopped walking , he just stand here not saying anything

"Thankyou" I continued and he continue to walked away..
