Chapter 50: I Will Be Waiting

Victoria's POV

I felt conscious since Oliver had been staring at my face the moment he sat down across from me after we got inside the library, and instead of answering some of my assignments, I ended up doodling on my notes.

"Are you done with your assignments, Oliver?" I asked, and he just nodded his head and continued watching me with great intensity that gave me goosebumps.

"Would you stop staring at me like that?" I asked, and he chuckled.

"Nah, I love watching your beautiful face, Victoria." He replied, and I could feel my heart leap in my chest, and my face felt warm, and I could tell I was blushing again.

And when Lana joined us, I could tell she had so many questions regarding Oliver and me by the way she looked at us, and when we only had ten minutes to spare, I stood up, and then Oliver once again took my things from me and held my hand.

We walked towards our classroom for our first period, and I couldn't explain the gratification that I felt; I wanted to take my hand away from him, but it felt so good, and I have always wanted to be this close with Oliver ever since I realized I like him a lot.

I could feel my worries as we neared our room since I didn't want Oliver and Declan to have another fight because of me. And when we got inside, I saw Declan seated next to my empty chair. I could feel the tension in the air as Oliver looked at him with fury in his eyes, and I could see that Declan was glaring at him too, and when I tried to pull away my hand from Oliver, he tightened his grip on my palm. 

"Can we talk later, Victoria?" Declan asked as he stood up, and he was towering over me while he was gazing at my face, and I could feel the rapid beating of my heart, which was the first time I felt so worried about boys. I never cared before if boys would try to get my attention since I didn't try dating any of them.

And right now, I felt guilty because I was on a date with Declan last night. And I was holding hands with Oliver right now, and even if we are not yet an official couple, I am sure our actions spoke louder than words, and I am sure our classmates knew right away that something was going on between Oliver and me.

"Yes, of course, we can," I answered, and I said yes because I wanted to ask Declan while she left me last night. And felt Oliver release my hand, and he put my bag and books on my chair, and he turned his heels and walked towards his chair without looking at me, and he said nothing. 

I didn't have time to look at his expression, and I suddenly felt worried if I upset him, but he is not yet my boyfriend, and it doesn't mean I will go on a date with Declan. And I think he has all the right to know that I almost got hurt last night because of the appearance of a black wolf. 

"Thank you, Victoria," Declan said as he looked at me with a beautiful smile on his face before he went to the back of our classroom to settle on his chair. At the same time, I was tempted to turn my head because I wanted to make sure Oliver was okay, and I wondered why our Math teacher was late since she was not yet around when it was already time for our first period.

"Wow! You were holding hands with Oliver, and you will be talking with Declan later?" Lana asked while she was shaking her head.

"The school queen is finally on her wings, and I think it is about time you should play those boys with your fingers. I mean, you have been doing that for a while now since you didn't give a damn about those boys who wanted to date you, but now, you are dating two hot boys, Victoria; you are amazing!" Lana declared, and I am glad she kept her voice low because I am not proud of what I have become, and I can't tell my classmates what happened last night with my date with Declan.

"Lan, you know I am not like that, I never played anyone, and this is the first time I experienced something like this, and something happened last night, and I will tell you about it later," I said, and her face lit up. I could see the mischievous grin on her face, and I could tell she was thinking something different from what I would say to her.

"You better stop what you are thinking right now, Lana, because it will never coincide with what happened last night," I added, and her face fell. She was about to say something when our teacher came, and I felt glad since I wanted my mind to think something else, even if I knew it would be impossible for me not to think about Oliver.

"Victoria, and Oliver, I want to remind you about the Math competition later this afternoon, you will be excused for your afternoon classes, and we will leave at precisely one o'clock p.m. Our teacher said, and I could feel the racing of my heart, and I know I am not worried about the contest, but I am more concerned about Oliver since I know I made him upset.

I was shocked when he stood up, and he came closer to the table of our teacher without looking in my direction. And even his back was on us; I could still see how hot he could be. And I could feel the hammering of my heart when I heard him ask our teacher if he could talk to her for a minute, and our Math teacher stood up and followed him outside, and I wondered what could be wrong this time?

When our teacher got back, I knew right away that something was off because I hadn't seen Oliver get back in our classroom. And I wanted to go out and look for him, but I was so afraid if he would push me away, or my teacher will not excuse me.

"Victoria, I regret to inform you that Oliver will not be able to come with us this afternoon. He needed to come home because of some family emergency, and he will be gone for a couple of days." Our teacher declared, and I could feel the pain right away. 

What is going on? Why did Oliver suddenly go home when he knew I was excited to participate in this competition with him? And I felt worried if something happened to any member of his family, and this was the first time I worried about someone aside from my parents and Lana.

"Anyway, our school will not be disqualified since it would be okay if you would participate without a partner. Is it okay with you to compete alone?" She asked, and I slowly nodded my head.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lana asked, and I shook my head without looking at her as we made our way to the cafeteria; I couldn't believe I would survive the entire morning without leaving the Academy because I couldn't stop myself from worrying about Oliver, and I felt hurt that he left without saying goodbye to me.

"I am sorry, Victoria, I know you are feeling sad because Oliver couldn't be there with you, but don't worry, I know you will nail it," She added with a beautiful smile on her face.

"I am not worried about the math competition, Lan; I was troubled about what happened to Oliver's family." I declared, and she smiled.

"Are you sure about that? Or you were worried about his feelings. I know how Oliver reacted when you said yes to Declan when he asked you if he could talk with you later, and it was only a natural reaction since he was holding your hand and you said yes to another boy; I am sorry to say this, Victoria, but you became insensitive." My best friend said, and my eyes got so big.

"How could you say that, Lana?" I asked, and I told her what happened about my date with Declan last night, and I included what transpired at the park, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing when I told her about Oliver's confession.

"Wow!" She said while she covered her mouth with her hands since I knew she was about to scream.

"Oliver told you he was falling in love with you?" She asked, and I nodded my head, and she was beaming at me.

"I know Oliver has a thing for you, but I never expected him to tell you how he feels; he must love you that much, Victoria; no wonder he looked so pissed at Declan, and I could see the pain on his face when you said yes to your another hot admirer, and I am glad you encountered this kind of thing, Victoria because you deserve to experience love," Lana said as she grinned at me.

"Are you kidding me, Lana? I don't want to feel this way, and I know this is all new to me, but I think I am going crazy. And for the first time in my entire life as a student, I wanted to have cutting classes because I want to look for Oliver." I said as we fell in line to order our food.

"Victoria, you heard our teacher; Oliver needed to go home. Don't worry; he will be back before you knew he was gone." Lana responded, and I released a heavy sigh, I wanted to call my dad and ask him about Oliver, but I didn't want my father to know I was falling in love with his best friend's son.

I know my dad already knew I like Oliver, and I will not validate his claim because the last time we talked when I told him about Oliver's wolf, dad told me I don't hate Oliver at all, and he said I like him, and my father was right, I like him a lot.

I get inside the school service feeling so down. Even if the lower-year participants are talking excitedly, I am no longer enthusiastic about the competition since I couldn't stop worrying about Oliver.. I felt so lonely knowing he would be gone for a couple of days, and I hope he is alright, and he will still like me when he comes back because I will be here patiently waiting for him.
