C19 CHAPTER 19: LOVE

WRITER'S POV ✍️

Richard and Thera met at the school press room the second day to continue the rehearsal. Richard tried his best to avoid the rehearsal because of Thera. He didn't know how to face her. He felt shy and didn't even know if Thera would hate him for that or judge him wrongly like he onced did to her. but Thera looked for him and called him to the press room again for the continuation of the rehearsal.

They've been standing for minutes without uttering a single word. Richard wanted to talk but no word was coming out of his mouth. He was completely speechless and Thera kept frittering with her fingers and with eyes focused on the ground with a knowing smile on her face. She was happy with the way Richard was acting. Because to her, a guy getting shy after kissing a girl means they are in love with them . So she believed Richard was already in love with her and her heart fluttered.

“ Rich...” “ Thera...”. They talked at the same time. Then, kept quiet again before Thera finally decided to play the mature adult and spoke up ” You want to say something right? You should talk first then” she said causally and with her voice, it was obvious she wasn't shy about anything and she was as free as ever.

“ No... You should talk first” Richard quickly push it back to her to speak first.

“ No Richard, Talk first~” she insisted

“ Erm... I just want to say Sorry... I'm sorry for yesterday. That was a mistake”

“ It's alright. You just have to be careful so that it doesn't happen again... Remember I'm a mermaid and I might not be so nice next time ” Thera said threateningly and felt a little disappointed that Richard was a coward who could not express his feelings and had to cover it up with an apology.

“ Ok...” Richard gulped. He wasn't scared but his heart still skipped a bit.

“ Now, let's start our rehearsal... We don't have much time~”

“ Huh? Uhm... No... I mean Yes” Richard stuttered

“: Yes what?” Thera asked with a raised brow.

“ I mean I want to visit the bathroom~ few minutes... I'm coming...” he left the room awkwardly and rushed to the bathroom.

“ hahhahahhahhah” Thera laughed heartily

**********

“ Oh no! This situation is not succorable! What should I do now? What's wrong with my heart? Why will I love a mermaid? She is evil!

**********

The boys were on the field playing football but a particular guy stood at the middle of the field like a statue “ Richard? What's wrong with you? Why are you standing at the middle of the field without playing?” Rainbow inquire Richard but he was too lost in thought to hear his friend

Rainbow knew Richard as a quiet person but not a snubber. So, this made him quite surprised and he walked nearer to him and tapped his shoulder “ Richard??”

Richard jerked and almost fell down “ Why? You scared me~ I almost fell down” he chatised his best friend

“ what's wrong with you? You were so lost here that I had to tap you before you can hear me. What's it man?”

“ Nothing” Richard replied and walked out of the field

‘ Oh Gawd~ what's wrong with Richard. He's been behaving like this for days now. Richard was always the perfect type and we always share our problems. Why is he not telling me anything?”. Rainbow thought and followed his friend “ Richard??? Wait!”

Richard walked faster when he realized his friend was following him and rainbow walked faster too refusing to back up. ‘ I don't want to tell anyone~ No one must know that I'm in love with a scary mermaid’ he thought and walked faster than before as he bumped on rainbow who double crossed him “ Richard, I'm your best friend. We don't keep things from each other, so, why are you doing this!?” Rainbow screamed breathless

“ I'm sorry Rainbow, but I can't tell you anything”

“ wow.... Really? You won't tell me? So I don't worth knowing your secret anymore right? Our friendship has become so meaningless that we can't share our problem anymore right? I never knew our friendship is fake Richard”

Rainbow realized asking casually won't work on Richard so he resort to emotional blackmailing and it worked perfectly “ I'm sorry rainbow... I cherish our friendship and you know that” Richard said solemnly

“ if you think so, then tell me what you are going through. Share your problem with me and let's solve it together ok?”

Richard looked his friend hand that was patting his shoulder and sighed “ I'm in love with Thera”

Rainbow was surprisingly happy hearing that his friend fell in love for the first time and that too with the most beautiful girl in their school “ Really??? Wow... I'm so happy for you man~” he hugged his friend happily and then realized his friend wasn't happy “ why are you not happy about this? This is a good news now” he was confused

“ I'm not happy Rainbow because I don't know how to tell her” he did not want to divulge Thera's secret to his friend. Why? He did not know.

“ Come man~ I will help you... You will confess to her today”

” but...”. “ Shh... Just come” Rainbow dragged him to their class and they met Thera playing with some girls in the class “ Thera, can I see you for a moment?”

Thera who was so much into the game she was playing with her friends suddenly heard Rainbow's voice behind her. She raised her brow and asked “ why?”

“ Nothing much .. just wanna tell you something"

She was at first confused but when she saw Richard fretting at the doorstep. She immediately knew what's was going on but pretended “Ok... Let's go”

She followed him and they both went to the hall to discuss. Thera caught Richard's eyes and winked at him while he redrawned his eyes immediately.

“ Thera, actually, Richard wants to tell you something...” Rainbow said scratching his head

“ oh Richard? Ok ... I'm all hears”

Richard gulped and moved forward “ The... Thera... I want to tell you that ...
