Chapter 4:STEALING GLANCES

Excited to see Kevin again, Amy's spirits are high today. She took her sister's advise a bit and fixed her hair a little better. Still tied up however, not looking like a cartoon character. Their class today will be held at the laboratory.

Edmond seated in between them realized what she was trying to do and got himself into a playful mood. As Amy is about to steal more glances, Edmond pushed his chair lightly backwards without changing his focus on the professor in front pretending nothing has changed. He is now blocking her view of Kevin. As Amy angled her head again to glimpse at Kevin, she cannot see him anymore but only Edmond's profile who is intently listening to the teacher. She tilted her head back and made an annoyed face cursing a little bit at the situation. She slightly moved her chair backwards and made the next attempt.

Edmond realized that she had moved slightly backward to make another attempt so he made the same move to block her view again. Next attempt was done and so as the next but all unsuccessful. Suddenly, Amy realized what was going on. As she moved her chair slightly, the corner of her eye was at Edmond's direction and stayed until he moved. She caught him and immediately looked at him with an angry gaze. Her eyebrows started to crunch as she stared at him. Edmond felt her angry stare even if he was not facing her directly. Stunned and scared by her gaze, all his blood seemed to have ran out and his face became white as paper. He feared to be getting a nag later. He swallowed his saliva and continued to pretend to be listening to the lecture.

The bell rang and the class ended. Edmond was avoiding Amy's gaze. He is conditioning himself for a confrontation from Amy, but to his surprise, Amy just stood, up walked away without saying a word. He watched her as she left the room. A small laugh came to his lips. The angry eyes earlier reminded him of his first lady love, his mom. She normally gives him the same angry eyes over his mischievousness plus the fact that he enjoyed the tension earlier. This is actually the first time he feared a girl. A sense of pride overflowed as he successfully managed to annoy her yet enjoyed every moment.

**********

Standing in front of her locker, Amy's emotions are mixed with annoyance and shame. Annoyed because her stealing glances were unsuccessful and shame because someone witnessed her flirting moments. Brushing aside her thoughts, she grabbed her phone from her pocket. Thinking of a new mission, she smiled and dashed away to execute the plan. Not far from where she was, Edmond was also placing his things inside his locker. He saw her smiling at the phone on her hand and planned to follow her on her next adventure.
