She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 347 - THEY NOTICED

On the way to the first stop, Cayenne noticed that Stefan was very silent. Sometime, he would frown and sometimes, there's a faint smile on his lips. She had no idea what he was thinking at all.

"Honey, what are you thinking? You look weird." Cayenne whispered, trying her best not to let the other two sitting at the back hear her words.

Despite that, Luiz and Clarisse still heard her but since Luiz told her to ignore Cayenne and Stefan, Clarisse stopped paying attention to them and just watched the scenery outside.

Stefan looked at his wife grinned at her – that wolfish grin that tells Cayenne he was up to something naughty again but his answer surprised her. "I want to eat ice cream with you."

"Oh. I thought there's something bothering you." She was just about to sit properly when she's reminded of something. 'It's not what I'm thinking, right?' Just the thought of it brought blush to her face.

"Why are you blushing?" Stefan asked pretending he was all innocent and serious.

"Nothing. Don't mind me. You can buy ice cream on our way home. I want to eat something cold as well." Cayenne looked outside her window and then closed her eyes. 'It's all this idiot's fault!' she mentally scolded him but on the other hand, Stefan was just grinning from ear to ear.

'If she knows what I'm thinking, isn't it the best proof of our synchronicity?' Stefan thought and faintly chuckled at his own idea.

"Here we go again. These two have gone to their own little world, forgetting that we existed here." Luiz commented which made Clarisse giggle. He also smiled at her but he didn't say anything anymore. If things go well, if they both pass the entrance examination, they'd still be able to see each other. "Riz, I have something to tell you later."

"O-okay." Clarisse nodded her head as her heart began to jump in her chest. She didn't want to expect anything but her heart and mind weren't really getting along together. Her brain says, "Don't expect." but, her heart says otherwise. 'It's okay to expect a little, right?' she thought but when she took a peek on his face, he looked nonchalant. 'Maybe I was overthinking things.'

Beside her, Luiz was already practicing what he should say to her. She's been her secret crush for so many years now. That's why he could sympathize with Kath and his brother because he had been feeling the same thing. And when he thought about it, he had a crush on Clarisse far longer than the years that Kyle and Kath liked each other.

'This is making me anxious.' Luiz told himself while keeping a straight face. 'I could only hope that no one would know what will happen later or it will be so embarrassing.'

While the two of them were immersed in their own little world, Cayenne noticed their silence as well. She frowned and turned around to look at her brother and Clarisse. "Are you two fighting?" She asked them.

"No." Clarisse and Luiz answered at the same time.

"I see. I was just wondering why you're so quiet and not making a single peep with each other." She smiled towards Clarisse and looked at her brother with meaningful look.

Not long after, Stefan drove into an elevated slope which means they're going up into a mountainous area. They could see nothing but trees and more trees. Some were bearing fruits, some were bearing flowers and most of them were just greens. It was very relaxing to watch.

After five minutes of driving, they arrived at the top of the hill where there was a huge restaurant. It was mainly a four-storey restaurant building. They offered varieties of dishes, desserts and other cuisines from different cities. The best part was that, you could actually see a volcano in the middle of the lake. It's only visible during the day and it was very beautiful. It was just one of the many dormant volcanoes so there's no need to worry about its eruption.

At night, it was said that you can see the city lights below and there's an observatory at the top floor of the restaurant where you can see starts and moon. There were also activities offered during the night like a fire dance show, a battle of the bands and many more.

"It's a good place for casual date and the last floor is good for a romantic date." Cayenne commented while looking around the place. They just ordered drinks and stayed in the small cottages around so that the students can take pictures of the view and enjoyed the place.

"Do you want to have a date here?" Stefan asked casually.

"No. It will be very crowded at night for sure."

"You got that right. During the day, there aren't many people but during the night, it becomes really lively. Let's go over there." Stefan led Cayenne to the best spot he could find and took pictures of her.

"Let's take a selfie together." The two got busy taking pictures and the students got busy taking pictures of this couple, too. In just few minutes, the social media platform was flooded with pictures of Cayenne and Stefan once again. And the couple? They had no idea about it yet.

"Let's go the next place." Stefan told the students and one after another, they got inside their vehicles.

As soon as the students got inside their cars, they couldn't stop themselves from gossiping again. "Hey! Is it just me or is Luiz really especially considerate of Clarisse?"

"I noticed it, too. Ever since we got inside the bus up until now, he's been paying attention to her."

"You guys might not know but Luiz –" Chloe slapped Sean's arm to stop him from talking. "Luiz is really a nice person." Sean corrected himself and smiled. "Don't think too much."

"I guess you're right. Luiz has been very considerate to us all the time. Maybe we're just reading too much about it."

Sean kept his mouth shut while Chloe glared at him. In the whole class, only Sean and Chloe knew about Luiz's affection for Clarisse. And they've been cheering him for years now but Luiz wanted to keep his promise to his sister first before anything else.
