O'Brien is getting anxious day by day. He felt doubt about his feeling anymore, and he couldn't do anything about it. Even Nathan, his best friend, can only be by his side and watched the sky falling, which is not yet to happen. Ever since he accidentally bumped into the most prettiest girl he ever saw, Heidi Hilton, and ever since he got her phone number, he had yet to have gut to dial her number and said hello.
It's been 4 months, and O'Brien has yet to make his first move. They met occassionally during lunch but only briefly because Heidi is tagging along with her bunch of friend. O'Brien could only watched from the distance, seeing Heidi laughing shyly at her friend's jokes, and he also noticed that Heidi occassionally steal a glance at him when he is not looking. Whenever their eyes met, it seems like you can see the electricity that goes on between them. Nathan, seeing the obvious picture of it, is getting frustrated with his best friend for his lack of courage to ask her out.
And now, Nathan once again caught O'Brien doodling Heidi's name on his notepad during Psych class. Nathan tried to kick O'Brien's chair but O'Brien seems so far away. Miss Clarice, the Psych teacher, called O'Brien's name as she noticed that he is not with them now. Nathan kicked his chair again but still no response. Nathan gave up and just sighed deeply, thinking that O'Brien really need some help, and obviously he need other's help as he couldn't even manage himself.
"Penny for your thought, O'Brien Stevenson?" Miss Clarice is now sitting on the edge of his desk, raising her voice slightly to get his attention. Miss Clarice always have a huge crush on O'Brien ever since he attend her class. She will steal a secret glance toward him whenever she got a chance. Learning that he is now single, she feel more excited to lull him to her. She is just turn to 25 years old, still young and beautiful and sexy, as her friends always describe her. Many of her friends still wondering why she, a beautiful girl, is still single. Even some of the male teacher had tried to ask her for a date but she declined them. To her, those guys are not her type at all. She was more into the shy-and-young-type of guy.
And that guy happen to be the one named O'Brien Stevenson.
She cleared her throat again, and this time it got O'Brien's full attention, his face turns pale at first then when he saw her eyes on his notepad full with Heidi's name, he covered it immediately and a blush crept into his face. Miss Clarice caught up the name scribbled on his notepad, and it makes her so angry with jealousy. She couldn't accept that her crush is crushing on someone else. The fact that someone is her own niece, Heidi Hilton, makes her even more angrier.
Wait 'till I get my hands on you, you little slutty niece of mine! She thought evilly. O'Brien, seeing his Psych teacher turned devilish look, gulped in anxiety.
"I....i'm sorry, Miss Clarice. I......" he stammered, unable to finish his words, his hands turn cold and clammy. Miss Clarice stared at him, and she feel her heart melt at seeing him so afraid of her. She decided that she will let him go, for now. She can hear the huge sighed in relief coming from O'Brien when she retreated back in front of the class. All of her students has gone very quiet. She chuckled inwardly and continue her lesson about dealing with stress. She will keep in mind about what she want to do to her niece later on.
*************************
"I can't believe she let you go just like that," whined Nathan when the class is finished. O'Brien just shrugged, grinning sheepishly. "Man, she must be having a crush on you," Nathan jokingly said and slapped hard on O'Brien's shoulder, made O'Brien cringed in pain.
"Dude, that's hurt!" he poke Nathan's ribs playfully while putting his books on his bag pack. "I have no class after this so I'm headed home. What about you?"
"Damn.... I still have Biology class at 3pm. I hate lab session, and I certainly hate that partner of mine," Nathan complained as they walked out of the class and went into their locker.
"Gerthrude is such a whiny ass, like you," O'Brien laughed out loud at his own joke. Nathan just stared at him.
"You better watch your mouth kiddo, or I......" he stopped in mid-sentence when he saw the object of his best friend's undying love walking across the hall. He poked O'Brien's rib, and indicated the girl with his head.
"Wha-.... oh...." O'Brien stop, and just stared at Heidi Hilton walking graciously with her group of friends. Their eyes met and instantly he felt like his world is being paused and totally out of space with just the two of them in there. Heidi gulped nervously at seeing O'Brien's eyes, her heart suddenly pumped twice as fast as before.
Both of them never notice that Nathan and the girls has left them alone. O'Brien looked around for his friend, needed his support, but Nathan is nowhere to be seen. He sighed nervously, and decided that he has to make a move or else he will lose her.
"Hi, Heidi," he greet her. Heidi smiled shyly, her face is flushed with red.
"Hi. Haven't talk to you for a long time huh?" she said while leaning against somebody's locker.
"Mmm, sorry about that. You are busy with your work, and me too." Both of them became silent, just staring at each other's eyes.
"Heidi-"
"O'Brien-". They laughed at their clashed of words. "You go first," offered O'Brien.
Heidi cleared her throat. "Umm... I was thinking, about..... hanging out with you tonight?"
O'Brien feel like he wanted to jump in excitement. He can't believe that Heidi just ask him out!
"Yeah, sure, why not? I'll pick you up at 7pm, how is it?" he said, maintain his cool act, while inside he was so excited. He couldn't wait to tell Nathan about this.
"Cool, so..... I'll see you later?" Heidi asked in a tiny voice. O'Brien just nodded, become speechless so sudden. Heidi then bid her goodbye to him and walked rather fast back to her locker. O'Brien leaned on his locker with a dreamy look on his face. Little did he knows that there are two people watching and hearing their conversation just now, and it made these two people angry!
