Chapter 1632-Come alone.
The thought that Manuel would come to see her after school the next day made Angelica nervous, and the whole day was spent in a tense atmosphere with few thoughts of doing anything else.
Livia noticed her distraction and worried, “What’s wrong?
How many times has the whole day gone out of focus?”
Angelica shook her head, “No, nothing.”
“- By the way, you don’t look good lately, maybe we will go shopping after school, I will update my wardrobe at the same time.
Under normal circumstances, Angelica would undoubtedly agree to take a walk with Livia, but today she has already arranged a meeting, if she goes shopping, she will cancel meeting Manuel for the second time.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Sorry Livia, I have other things to do today, so I can’t go shopping with you.”
“Other things?”
Livia was a little confused, “What’s going on?”
She suddenly thought of Pacino’s visit to Angelica yesterday and said:
– Are you meeting Pacino today? Have you already agreed to meet? Then there is nothing you can do, I will wait a couple of days until you are free, and then we will go shopping.
When Livia said this, Angelica did not explain anything else and just nodded, “I’m sorry Livia, I will fix things and I will definitely accompany you in a couple of days.”
“Okay, it was because you were unhappy that I wanted to accompany you, and since you have someone to accompany you instead, I am relieved.”
Livia reached out her hand to pinch Angelica’s cheek, “I want you to be happy, so don’t worry.”
“Thank you Livia.”
At the end of the school day, Angelica was slowly gathering her things, dragging her feet as long as possible.
When Livia had finished, she saw that she was still stalling, “Aren’t you going to hurry up?”
Angelica whispered, “Not so fast, you go ahead.”
“Okay, then.”
Livia gathered her things and left the classroom. She wanted to go straight to the library, but suddenly she thought she had run out of ink for her pen yesterday, so she turned and headed for the school gates to buy some at the bookstore.
When she reached the school gate, she found a group of girls gathered to look at something. Livia wasn’t sure what was going on.
“How nice! Who is this?”
“Why is he in front of our school, is he here to pick up his girlfriend?”
“Oooh what a handsome guy, I’m so jealous.”
A group of girls touched their cheeks and looked at a spot and whispered it.
Livia felt a little taken aback and didn’t really want to get involved, but she had to go through them to get out of the school entrance, so she had to walk helplessly outside, saying as she did so, “Excuse me, please.”
Livia was relieved to be able to leave and was about to go to the library when she noticed a familiar figure in front of the school.
The tall, thin young man was leaning against the wall, dressed simply and casually, his gaze perpendicular to the ground, giving him an air of extreme laziness, yet detached and aloof, with an aura of unapproachability.
Manuel ! Livia’s heart beat faster.
She had not expected to see him again after so many days, and he was still so handsome that she could not take her eyes off him.
But what was he doing here?
Suddenly, Livia thought about what she had told Angelica during the day, and her face changed.
Did he trust her that much?
Or maybe she had found out something and didn’t want it to be known that she was dating Manuel.
The more she thought about it, the whiter Livia’s face became.
Manuel , who was leaning against the wall, suddenly realized something and turned his gaze toward her.
Livia?
Livia gasped and heard a girl’s voice echoing behind her.
“Aaaaaah is she looking this way, is she looking at me?”
“! Oh my God, he’s so beautiful!”
Manuel half-closed his thin lips as he walked toward Livia.
“Livia?”
He opened his mouth to call her name, his voice magnetic and dark.
“All by yourself?”
Livia then replied, “Yes, I’m alone, have you come to see Angelica?”
“Where is she?”
“Still inside packing, probably going out soon.”
“Hm.”
The silence hung, Livia did not have the strength to go on, she knew she had to go or her self-esteem would be trampled here.
Without any hope, she asked, “Should I call her?”
“No, she promised me.”
Manuel rejected her proposal with indifference.
Livia’s face blushed and her brain heated up, why did she ask, why did she not turn around and leave?
At the thought, she bit her lower lip, clenched her fists in embarrassment and turned to leave.
A classmate joined her from behind and cheerfully asked, “Livia, do you know him?
Who is he?”
“Yes, yes, how do you know such a handsome boy, introduce him to us?”
Livia said, a little annoyed, ” – He is just an acquaintance.
“What do you mean, we just ask you to introduce us.”
Livia increased her pace, not wanting to listen anymore.
Finally Angelica reached the gate when there was hardly anyone left at the entrance.
She slowly walked out of the gate, immediately after the exit she noticed Manuel, there was no desire to go further.
From a distance, Manuel’s eyes fell on her face and greeted her.
“- Snail, how much longer were you going to crawl?”
A snail?
Angelica blushed and replied, “-I am not a snail.”
“-If not, go faster.”
Angelica bit her lower lip, not moving a single step.
After a few moments Manuel took a step in front of her and put his hand on her head, “-Is it really that hard to get close to myself, should I act?”
“Don’t touch me!” Angelica pushed his hand away, fiercely.
“So cruel?”
Manuel sighed helplessly and pulled his hand back, “- Don’t allow, so I won’t touch, let’s go.”
Angelica grabbed his backpack and looked at his shoes, “- You can talk here, I still need to do my homework.”
There was a moment of silence before Manuel spoke again.
“There are classmates around, are you sure you want to talk about the day you drank coffee until you threw up?”
At these words, Angelica’s face changed and she took an abrupt step toward the exit.
Manuel followed her, but as soon as he approached her, Angelica quickened her pace, trying to stay at a distance from him.
Manuel approached, she ran away from him again.
After a few times, Manuel asked helplessly, “Are you tired?”
Angelica stopped when she saw that no one was there.
“Don’t tell anyone about that day with the coffee!”
