?Anelโ€™s POV?

Your dad,Liam just called me now,he said you want me to change your seat that youโ€™re having difficult times sitting beside Danโ€

โ€œWhat!โ€ I exclaimed.

I sighed annoyingly,how could Liam do this!
โ€œSo youโ€™re gonna be exchanging seats with Jacqueline Silver,she once complained about her seatโ€ She said and picked a pen.

Oh..no.
Not that devilish girl!

โ€œNo maโ€™am,all he said was false. Iโ€™m not having difficult time sitting beside Danโ€
โ€œYou mean heโ€™s telling lies?โ€ She asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ I nodded.

She smiledโ€ฆโ€How could he tell lies. Thatโ€™s impossibleโ€
โ€œItโ€™s possible maโ€™am,heโ€™s telling lies. I never complained about my seat to himโ€ I said and glanced at Dan whose face held no emotion.

โ€œYou know what,he knows whatโ€™s good for youโ€ She said.
โ€œYou mean youโ€™re still gonna change my seat?โ€ I asked.
โ€œOf course,your father asked for itโ€ she said.
โ€œThatโ€™s what my father asked for! Not me,Iโ€™m the one schooling here not him so you gotta respect my decision tooโ€ I said.

โ€œWe have to do what your father wantsโ€ She said.
โ€œGo ahead and Iโ€™m gonna report this to the school boardโ€ I threatened and Dan gasped.
โ€œOMG!โ€ Mrs Oliver exclaimed.
โ€œYeahโ€ I said.

โ€œOhh.. okay,Iโ€™m not gonna change your seat anymore. You can both head to your classโ€ She said.
โ€œThank you maโ€™amโ€ Dan said and walked after me out of the office.

We got to the hallway and bursted into laughter.

โ€œYouโ€™re something elseโ€ Dan laughed.
โ€œYeah i knowโ€ I joined him in laughing.
โ€œDidnโ€™t you see how scared she lookedโ€ Dan said and we laughed again.

We were both laughing hard that i had to close my eyes.
I stopped laughing when my my body collided into a wall.
โ€œAhโ€ I groaned.
But we we werenโ€™t close to a wall and this fragrance smells familiar.

I opened my eyes and was shocked to see Mr Jones,the geography teacher.
I quickly shifted back and nearly hissed.
He smiled..โ€ohhโ€ฆi can see youโ€™ve resumedโ€
โ€œYeahโ€ I said and walked out on him.
That man has a bad aura surrounding him.

โ€œSheโ€™s sorry sirโ€ I heard Dan plead on my behalf.
โ€œItโ€™s nothing,I know her to be a rude girlโ€ He said loudly.

I kept on walking trying to figure out where i once sniffed that particular fragrance,i heard Danโ€™s footsteps drawing close.
I slowed down a bit so he could meet up with me.

โ€œWhy do you have to apologise to himโ€ I said.
โ€œComโ€™on Anel,you shouldnโ€™t be rude to people older than youโ€ He said.
โ€œIโ€™m not,have you ever seen me rude to other teachers. He does not like him and that made me dislike him tooโ€ I said.
โ€œHow do you know he does not like you?โ€ He asked.
โ€œI sensed itโ€ I said.

โ€œWellโ€ฆ i canโ€™t doubt youโ€ He said and i smiled.
โ€œOf course notโ€

โ€œGet out of the wayโ€ Someone screamed and before i could blink,Dan has pushed me out of the way.
A loud bang followed.
We both landed hard on the floor breathing heavily.

I was yet to recover from the shock when i quickly sat up.
โ€œDamn! What was that?โ€ I asked holding my chest.
I looked up and saw it was one of the fat girls i once rescued from karissaโ€™s bully.
She smiled and i almost returned her smile.

โ€œHiโ€ She said.
โ€œWhat just happened?โ€ I asked still breathing heavily.
Dan groaned beside me and then sat up.
She pointed to a direction and i traced her thick finger only to see a large stone sitting on the floor.
โ€œI donโ€™t get..what happened?โ€ I asked.

โ€œI saw someone putting on a mask throw that huge stone,it was directed to hit your head and it was so near that i had to screamโ€ She said.
โ€œOMG!โ€ My breathing increased.
โ€œAh!โ€ Dan exclaimed.
โ€œThis is badโ€ He said.

โ€œThank youโ€ I said still shaken at the thought of that stone hitting my head.
Iโ€™m damn sure Iโ€™m gonna give up Immediatelyโ€ฆI wonder who could have thrown that huge stone from that distance.

The person wants me dead!
Could it be Karissa?
No..i have a feeling she isnโ€™t the one.
โ€œThank youโ€ Dan said to the fat girl and then stood up.
He dusted his trouser and stretched his hand to me.

I placed my shaky hand on his.
He helped me up and then dusted my skirt and hair.
โ€œThanks so muchโ€ I said to the fat girl who nodded.
โ€œBe very careful,a lot of people are very jealous of youโ€ She said.

โ€œThank you so much,i owe you a lot for this,you just saved my lifeโ€ I said.
โ€œItโ€™s fineโ€ She said and walked away.

Dan sighed.
โ€œThis is weirdโ€ He said.
I nodded my head and looked at the huge stone once more,fear gripped me.

I would have just died like my mum.
Oh..no!
I canโ€™t wait to clock 17,it seems a lot of bad things happens at age โ€™16โ€™.

But who could have done this.

?School Over?

I stood up and started packing my books in my backpack,still shaken over that incidence.
โ€œAnelโ€ Dan called and i faced him.
โ€œYouโ€™re still shaken right?โ€ He asked and i nodded.
โ€œYouโ€™ll be fineโ€ he pulled me into a hug.

I rested my head on his chest and felt a bit relieved.
Why does my heart beat faster whenever Iโ€™m with Dan.
Ah..I hope itโ€™s definitely not what Iโ€™m thinking.

I disengaged from the hug and continued packing my books.
I finished packing it,i threw my phone in my pocket and turned to face Dan who was waiting for me.
I looked at jacqโ€™s seat and found it empty with her backpack gone. Same as Karissa.
They didnโ€™t wait for him.

I just hope im not causing any thing among them.
โ€œYour friends didnโ€™t wait for youโ€ I said to Dan.
He nodded. โ€œYeahโ€
โ€œAm i by chance causing quarrels among you guys?โ€ I asked.
โ€œNo..no. letโ€™s goโ€ He smiled and held my hand,then led me out of the class.

*

We got to the gate,showed the gatekeeper our school ID card before stepping out.

Funny enough,we met both Jacq and Karissa standing outside the gate.
Their cars are yet to arrive.
So whatโ€™s with the rush? They obviously do no want to wait for Dan.

I wonder why theyโ€™re behaving so childish.
โ€œWill you go meet them?โ€ I asked Dan who shrugged.
โ€œComโ€™onโ€ I said and he hesitated before going to them.

I watched them and felt so pained at how they both ignored him.
I donโ€™t just wanna create a scene,i should have taught them both a critical lesson.
Karissa wants to talk to him but Jacq kept shutting her up with glares.

I feel Jacq is more dangerous than โ€˜dummy Karissaโ€™

Dan walked back to me looking a bit hurt.
โ€œSorryโ€ I said.
โ€œItโ€™s fineโ€ he smiled.
โ€œYour friends behaves childishโ€ I rolled my eyes.
He laughedโ€ฆโ€All girls doโ€
โ€œI donโ€™tโ€ I said.
โ€œWellโ€ฆyouโ€™re different from other girlsโ€ He said and my cheeks grew hot.

โ€œShould i take that as a compliment?โ€ I asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ He smiled.
I dragged his cheeks playfully and muttered โ€˜thanksโ€™.
โ€œThe happiness you alone gives me is more than the one ten people can give me โ€ He said and this time i blushed.

I hid my almost red cheeks with my palms.
He laughed.
โ€œComโ€™on,get those palms of yours away,i need to see how red i made your cheeks goโ€ he said and i laughed.

โ€œComโ€™on get your hands offโ€ He said.
โ€œNoโ€ I said,my cheeks growing more hot.
He tried to remove my my hands from my cheeks but i held on tighter, laughing.

A car horn sounded twice but we were both carried away with our play.
I kept laughing and dodging his hand from getting to my cheeks.

โ€œI love thatโ€ we heard a familiar voice said loudly.
We both turned and i smiled when i saw Claire in the car,in front of us, seated on the driverโ€™s seat.
She waved at us.

We both walked to herโ€ฆ

โ€œGood afternoon Claireโ€ Dan and i greeted.
โ€œGood afternoon sweeties,how was school today?โ€ She asked.
โ€œPerfectly fineโ€ Dan said and i glared at him playfully.
โ€œIt was fine but not perfectly fine, a lot happened todayโ€ I said.
โ€œWow! I canโ€™t wait to hear those gistโ€ She said.
โ€œAnd i canโ€™t wait to tell you everythingโ€ I said.

Itโ€™s so hard to believe Claire and i and Claire would finally get this close.
Iโ€™ve only spent few days in dadโ€™s house and Iโ€™ve told her almost all my secret.
I donโ€™t regret doing that cause Iโ€™ve learnt a whole lot from her, she advises wisely.
Sheโ€™s so intelligent that i envy her most of the time.

โ€œDan how have you been?โ€ She asked.
โ€œIโ€™ve been fine, thanksโ€ Dan smiled.
โ€œThatโ€™s good to hear,so how are your parents?โ€ She asked.
Dan glanced at me before answering.
โ€œThey are doing goodโ€ he said.

I got into the backseat and closed the car door.
Dan was still leaning on the front door.
โ€œIโ€™m glad you both didnโ€™t allow your parents past to disrupt your friendship,thatโ€˜s so matured of you. Youโ€™re both doing what your parents should have doneโ€ She said and we smiled.

โ€œThanks Claire,i think my car is here alreadyโ€ he said and waved.
He winked at me and butterflies fluttered in my stomach.
โ€œBye,see you tomorrowโ€ He said and walked away.
โ€œAwwwn!โ€ Claire said.

โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked.
โ€œNothingโ€ She laughed,and turned on the ignition.

??

We stepped into the house.

Dad isnโ€™t in yet.

i smiledโ€ฆim just noticing how corporate Claire dressed.

โ€œDid you go to work?โ€ I asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ She said and dropped her handbag on the couch.
โ€œI wouldnโ€™t have recognised you if i had see you walking in the streetโ€ I said.
She laughedโ€ฆโ€Do i look good?โ€
โ€œPerfectly goodโ€ i said and smiled as she unpinned her hair.
It spread down to her shoulders in curly waves.

She pulled off her shoes and s un-bottened her floral shirt.

โ€œClaire,you havenโ€™t gotten to your roomโ€ I said.
โ€œYeah,i have to quickly place the soups i made in the microwaveโ€ She said and i sighed, already knowing sheโ€™s a Kitchener.
โ€œWhy donโ€™t you freshen up firstโ€ I suggested.
โ€œNo,i need to go into the kitchen firstโ€ She said.

I shook my head and started walking to the stairs.
โ€œDonโ€™t forget you need to gist meโ€
โ€œAfter Iโ€™m done freshening upโ€ I said.
โ€œOkayโ€ She said and i watched her hurry into the kitchen.
*
I opened the door to my room and stepped in,i smiled and inhaled the scent of my room.
Always smelling nice.
I closed the door gently behind me.

I walked to my well spread bed and dropped my backpack beside it.
I sat on the bed and started pulling off my shoes,my pop sock went off next.

โ€œAh..Iโ€™m so tiredโ€ I said and massaged my feet for a while before un-bottening my shirt.
I stood up and grabbed my body towel before walking into the bathroom.

โœ”๏ธ?โœ”๏ธ

My necklace sparkled brightly as i walked out of the shower.
I grabbed my towel and wrapped it round my body,then made my shiny necklace lay on my chest.

Dan has this necklace tooโ€ฆ
Does it shine brightly like mine?
Wellโ€ฆIโ€™m gonna confirm that tommorow.

I walked back to my room and selected a simple outfit.
I dried my body and started getting into my clean clothes.

*

I adjusted my pink skirt before dropping my phone into the pocket.
I loosened my pontsplait and combed my hair.
I packed it into a high ponytail and then selected a pair of black slippers.

I slipped my feet into it, smiled and walked out of my room.

Mixed aroma ran through my nostrils as i descended the stairs.
I guess this house should be a cafeteria.
Come to think of it, Claire is fit enough to handle four cafeterias together.
Iโ€™m gonna tease her about that.

I didnโ€™t bother going to the living room,i walked straight into the kitchen after dropping my phone on the dining table.

I met her stirring a pot of steaming chicken soup.
Wow!

โ€œI think my nose is gonna get blocked with different type of aromaโ€ I said as i strolled into the kitchen.
Sheโ€™s wearing an apron over her un-bottened shirt and her hair is well tucked in a hair net.
โ€œIโ€™ll be glad if it doesโ€ She said and we giggled.

โ€œWhat do you want for lunch?โ€ She asked.
โ€œAnythingโ€ I said, just realising Iโ€™m hungry.
โ€œOkay,Iโ€™ll prepare something nowโ€ She said.
โ€œLetโ€™s just have baguette with the soupโ€ I said,not wanting her to stress herself any longer.

She just returned from work and didnโ€™t even relax before coming into the kitchen.

โ€œAre you sure thatโ€™s what you want? I can quickly prepare anything you wantโ€ She said and i smiled.
โ€œThanks Claire but thatโ€™s what i want for lunch, weโ€™re gonna prepare something else for dinnerโ€ i said and she nodded.

She switched off the gas cooker and was about bringing out the baguette.
โ€œNo, Claire. Iโ€™ll do itโ€ I said.
She sighed.
โ€œPleaseโ€ I said and she shrugged.
โ€œQuickly go freshen up while i dish out our lunchโ€ I said.
โ€œOkay, thanksโ€ She smiled and loosened her apron,then pulled off her hair net.
She handed it to me before walking out of the kitchen.

?

I sat on the dining chair, playing game on my phone while waiting for Claire to finish freshening up.
Iโ€™ve dished out our lunch already.

Her footsteps grew louder and i know sheโ€™ll be in the dining room soon. I quitted the game i was playing,then dropped my phone gently.

She walked into the dining room clad in dadโ€™s t-shirt which looked loose and long on her,it was so cute.
She was putting on dadโ€™s blue shorts.

Wow!
Iโ€™m also gonna wear my boyfriendโ€™s t-shirt and his sh..
What! Did i just thought of a boyfriend.
Never!

I heard the squealing of a chair before getting out of my thoughts.
Claireโ€™s seated opposite me.

โ€œLetโ€™s eatโ€ She said and i nodded.
We started eating and my thoughts kept flashing back to โ€˜the boyfriend thingโ€™
Am i not gonna have a boyfriend.
Yeahโ€ฆi wonโ€™t!
I already vowed to myself that i wonโ€™t.

Besides,i donโ€™t like any guโ€ฆhuh! Dan?

โ€œNo!โ€ I said and gasped a little, realising i said that aloud.
Claire looked at me weirdly before pouring water into the glass cup and then gulping it down her throat.
โ€œWhat?โ€ asked.
โ€œNothingโ€ I faked a smile.
โ€œYour smile is fakeโ€ She said and i rubbed my forehead.
How could i forget that you can never fake a smile in Claireโ€™s presence.

โ€œSo,you were going to gist meโ€ she said.
โ€œYes!โ€ I smiled.
โ€œGo onโ€ she said.

โ€œWhen i got to to school in the morningโ€ฆ.โ€ I started.

**

Claire was laughing out loud when i finished telling her how i beat up Jacq and Karissa.
I didnโ€™t find it funny though.

โ€œWellโ€ฆi wonโ€™t say what you did was right,they deserve it but avoid fighting in school next time cause it might set bad records for youโ€ She said and i nodded.
โ€œBut what sort of school prefect is that?โ€ She asked irritably.
โ€œHeโ€™s a crook!โ€ I said and bit into my chicken.
โ€œYou should report himโ€ She said.
โ€œIโ€™m gonna do that soonโ€
โ€œGoodโ€

โ€œSo Iโ€™ve got another thing to sayโ€ I said.
โ€œAnother gist?โ€ She smiled.
โ€œI wonโ€™t say itโ€™s a gist cause itโ€™s still bothering me up to this momentโ€ i said.
โ€œReally? Whatโ€™s that?โ€ She asked worriedly.
โ€œWellโ€ฆi nearly got killed todayโ€ I said and she gasped.

โ€œWhat!โ€

?

โ€œOMG! Thatโ€™s not a good thingโ€ She said after i finished narrating the incidence to her.
โ€œYeah..itโ€™s notโ€ I said.
โ€œYou have to be very careful okay?โ€ She said and i nodded.
โ€œOr should we change your school?โ€ She asked.
โ€œNo,Iโ€™ll be fineโ€ I said.
โ€œDonโ€™t ever walk alone in the hallway again,make sure someone is always with you okay?โ€
I nodded.
โ€œIs there a CCTV in your school hallway?โ€ She asked and i nodded.

Why didnโ€™t i think of that.

โ€œOkayโ€ She said.
โ€œDonโ€™t bother about me Claire,Iโ€™ll be fineโ€ I said.
She let out a long breatheโ€ฆ


โ€œDad! What do you mean by Liam is gonna change my school. Did i complained about itโ€ I shouted.
I was laying on the bed,about sleeping after having dinner when dad walked into my room to tell me this annoying news.

What the hell is wrong with Liam!

โ€œHe wants you to stop seeing that boyโ€ Dad said.
โ€œBoy? Thereโ€™s no boy in our schoolโ€ I said knowing well the person heโ€™s referring to.
โ€œHe wants you to stop seeing Danโ€ Dad said.
โ€œHave i ever complained that my eyes always get blind whenever i see Dan?โ€ I asked crossly.

He sighed.

โ€œDo whatever you want with his parents. Dan is innocent!โ€ I said.
โ€œBut he still remains their son!โ€ Dad said.

โ€œI dare anyone to transfer me to another school, then Iโ€™m gonna make sure something terribleโ€ I threatened.
โ€œHuh?โ€ His eyes widened.. โ€œOkay,Iโ€™m gonna talk to Liam about itโ€ He said.

โ€œFineโ€ I said.
He stared at me for a while before standing up from my bed.
โ€œGoodnight daddyโ€ I said.
He pecked me on both cheeks and switched off the light,then switched on the bedside lamb.

โ€œGoodnight princessโ€

{Next?day at School}

Lunchbreakโ€ฆ.

โ€œOkay,letโ€™s continue the gameโ€ I laughed together with Dan.
โ€œIโ€™m sorry Anel,i promised to have lunch with Jacq todayโ€ He said.
My laughter faded and i felt hurt or rather jealous.

โ€œOkayโ€ I said, trying to appear normal.
โ€œIโ€™m sorryโ€ He said.
โ€œYou shouldnโ€™t be sorry, Jacq is your friend and thereโ€™s nothing bad in having lunch with her. You can go aheadโ€ I said, trying hard to control my voice.

I searched for Jacq in the class and couldnโ€™t see her.
She already went to the cafeteria with her puppy.

Dan stood up and walked out of the class.

I sighed and banged the table hard.

I searched for a novel to bury my face into.
I found one.

**

Iโ€™ve gotten halfway with my novel when i saw the fat girl that saved me yesterday, rushing to my seat with a worried.

What went wrong?

She got to my seatโ€ฆ
โ€œThanks for yesterdayโ€ I tried to smile.
โ€œJacq and Karissa just poured hot pasta on Danโ€™s faceโ€ She said.

โ€œWhat!โ€ I shouted and rushed out of my seat.

JUST FOR LOVE 2 Episode 37 by Azeemah Salami

Anelโ€™s POV?

โ€œJacq and Karissa just poured hot pasta on Danโ€™s faceโ€ She said.

โ€œWhat!โ€ I shouted and rushed out of my seat.

I rushed out of the class heading straight to the cafeteria, Jacq and Karissa just met their doom today.

I got to the cafeteria in seconds and saw Dan picking pieces of pasta off his face, he was looking so embarrassed that i felt sorry for him.
Jacq and Karissa were both seated like they just did nothing!

When did they turn this way?
I didnโ€™t know theyโ€™ve gotten this worst!
How could they do this to their friend?

I felt more infuriated when i saw Travis laughing hard in a corner.
I rushed to him and landed a slap across his face.
Everyone gasped.

I was satisfied the slap echoed the silent cafeteria.
He held his cheek, looking more embarrassed than Dan.

โ€œYouโ€™re a school prefect,yet you watched two bitches poured hot pasta on their classmate face and you couldnโ€™t do anything than to laugh like a toothless pig!โ€ I yelled.
The students bursted into laughter.

โ€œIโ€™ll be back for you,i gotta deal with those bitches firstโ€ I said and headed to the counter.
Students quickly paved way for me.

โ€œNo one should be afraid of me,i donโ€™t hurt people without a reasonโ€ i said and carried the whole portion of hot pasta.
It was steaming and almost burning my hands.
I dipped my hand into my pocket and brought out all the dollar bills.
I dropped it on the counter.

โ€œThatโ€™s the money for the whole pastaโ€ I said and started walking to Jacq and Karissa table with the large portion of pasta in my hand.
The students watched what i was about to do in silence.
Dan tried to stop me but a glare from me made him step back.

I got to their table and noticed they were about running.
I almost kissed the fat girl when she helped me pinned them down, preventing them from taking a step.

โ€œPlease Iโ€™m sorry, Jacq poured it firstโ€ Karissa cried.

I poured the whole pasta on their faces and body before smashing the large stainless bowl on their foreheads.
Everyone gasped.
They both danced without music as the hot pasta burned their skin.

Most of the students laughed while the rest mocked them.

โ€œI hope youโ€™ve known how hurtful it is, youโ€™re both cruel for doing that to himโ€ I said.

โ€œYouโ€™re lucky it was only pasta you poured on his face, i would have shown you what a psycho behaves like. Bitches!โ€ I said and was walking out of the cafeteria, i stopped and turned to Travis.

โ€œIโ€™m going to report you to the principal. Right nowโ€ I said and walked out of the cafeteria.

I got to the hallway and was about cornering to the principalโ€™s office when i heard footsteps behind me..
โ€œDan,i donโ€™t want to talk to you okay!โ€ I said angrily and kept on walking.
There was silence but i was still hearing those footsteps.

I stopped walking.

โ€œDanโ€ I called without turning.
There was no response,a strange feeling suddenly rushed over me,it was totally different from the one i normally feel when Dan is around me.
My body grew cold immediately and my palms got wet.

Fear gripped me and i shivered.
I started turning slowly,my heart was beating faster.
I finally turned and my heart nearly jumped out of my chest when i saw no one.

What!
What just happened?

Then, i saw Dan running towards me from a distance,he was holding my necklace or was it his.
I checked my neck and it was bare.
Thatโ€™s my necklace but what just happened.

Was that real? Or just my imaginations?

โ€œAnel,your necklace fell off your neck while you were in the cafeteriaโ€ He said stretching my necklace to me.
โ€œWere you behind me minutes ago?โ€ I asked.
โ€œNo..i wasnโ€™t,did anything went wrong? He asked.
โ€œNooโ€ I said and took my necklace from him.

I guess that was just my thoughtsโ€ฆ

I hooked my necklace around my neck and started walking away.
Iโ€™m still pissed at him for leaving me in the class to the cafeteria to go meet the bitches who ended up pouring hot pasta all over his face.

Serves him right!

โ€œAnelโ€ he called, running after me.
โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked, turning to face him.
โ€œThanks and Iโ€™m sorry for making you create a sceneโ€ He said.
I started laughing hard when i saw a piece of pasta hanging on his ear looking like those long fashionable earrings.

โ€œWhat?โ€ He asked.
I brought out my phone and made him see his reflection,i didnโ€™t stop laughing.
He giggled and removed the pasta from his ear.

โ€œOhhโ€ฆi should have captured that โ€ I laughed.
โ€œYou mocking me right?,you couldnโ€™t even console me about the pasta that was poured on my faceโ€ He said with a fake frown.
โ€œThat serves you right! You left me in the class to go meet those bitches who ended up pouring hot pasta on your faceโ€ I said.

โ€œAh! I didnโ€™t know they would do that,i wouldnโ€™t have gone to meet them but donโ€™t tell me youโ€™re jealous right now?โ€ He raised his brow, hiding his grin.
โ€œJealous? Hell no!โ€ I lied and quickly turned away.
I donโ€™t want him to see my cheeks.

I blush easily but only when Iโ€™m with him.

โ€œ?Youโ€™re jealous..

? Youโ€™re jealous

?Iโ€™m glad youโ€™re jealousโ€ He sang after me as i walked to the class.

I tried to hold my laughter but i couldnโ€™t anymore.
I hope Dan wonโ€™t crack my ribs.

?

โ€œGo wash your face,you smell of pastaโ€ I laughed.

**

Dan walked into the class after the biology teacher finished teaching.

Itโ€™s obvious he has cleaned up his face.
He looks so neat and good now.
โ€œI hope i smell nice now?โ€ He asked.
โ€œA littleโ€ I teased and he smiled before sitting down.

I searched his neck for the necklace but couldnโ€™t find it.
I thought he had one too.

โ€œIf you wanna see my necklace then youโ€™ll have to kiss me firstโ€ He said.
โ€œHuh?โ€ My eyes widened and my heart pumped.

What would kissing him feel like?
His lips looks so soft and kissable.
Oh..myโ€ฆ

โ€œI was only jokingโ€ He laughed and i was a bit disappointed.
Waitโ€ฆdid i really wanna kiss him.
Hell no!
Anel!!!

โ€œI knew you were jokingโ€ I lied covering it up with a smile.
โ€œYeah,so hereโ€™s my necklaceโ€ He said and unhooked his necklace from his neck.
Why didnโ€™t i see it on his neck?

He handed it to me and i collected it eagerly.
โ€œWowโ€ I sighed in amazement,i couldnโ€™t take my gaze off the necklace.
It felt so special in my hands.
This is the first time Iโ€™m seeing an authentic necklace similar to mine.

His had โ€˜Migโค๏ธโ€˜ engraved on it while mine had โ€˜Vinโค๏ธโ€˜ on it.

I grinned happily not taking my gaze off it.
โ€œIt shines right?โ€ I asked.
โ€œYeahโ€ฆ whenever water touches itโ€ He said.
โ€œMine tooโ€ I smiled.

โ€œSo,we both have something special in commonโ€ He said.
โ€œSomething our parents once hadโ€ He said which made me remember my mum.
I felt sad immediately and handed the necklace back to him.

He hooked it round his neck and adjusted it,making the dangling part fall into his shirt just like i normally do.

โ€œShould we just pour some water on it and check it out?โ€ I asked.
โ€œWow! Then the whole class is gonna know we gat shiny necklacesโ€ He said.
โ€œOk then we wonโ€™t,we will do that when weโ€™re aloneโ€ I said.
โ€œDo you wanna check out mine too?โ€ I asked.
โ€œI already did when i picked it up in the cafeteriaโ€ He said.
โ€œOhhโ€ฆ people saw it?โ€ I asked.

โ€œYeah,they thought it was the duplicate.โ€ He said.
โ€œThatโ€™s true, a lot of people have it,i sometimes get so confusedโ€ I said.
โ€œMe too, i was happy when i saw it on Karissaโ€™s neck,i thought she was the girl with the original necklace and i was so disappointed when i found out it was the duplicateโ€

โ€œDonโ€™t mention those bitches nameโ€ I huffed.
โ€œOhhโ€ He sighed.
โ€œWhat went wrong? Why exactly did you do to deserve that from them โ€ I asked.
โ€œWellโ€ฆi donโ€™t really know..i got to the cafeteria and ordered my meal,i took it to their table. You know we were always sitting together. Jacq asked me get out of my table,i wasnt surprised though, i knew she was probably pissed at me. I was about speaking up but the next thing i felt on my face was hot pasta, Jacq poured hers first before Karissa didโ€ He said.

โ€œWow,they are seriously annoyed with youโ€ I said.
He nodded. โ€œThanks for standing up for meโ€
โ€œIโ€™m glad i did,they really needed a taste of their own medicine and i offered it to them sweetlyโ€ I smiled.
He laughed.

โ€œThe slap you landed across Travis face sounded so loud.โ€ He said.
โ€œHe deserved it and heโ€™s so lucky that i didnโ€™t go report him to the principalโ€ I said.
โ€œIโ€™ll go report him myself,Iโ€™m just waiting for him to commit one more offenceโ€ I said.

โ€œI hope you do,hereโ€™s the biology noteโ€ I passed my note to him.
He collected it and flipped the pages.

Jacq and Karissa walked into the classroom.
I didnโ€™t even notice they werenโ€™t in the class.
I felt a bit sorry when the students mocked them as they walked to their seat but then they deserve it.

I had to hold my laughter when i saw two pieces of pasta at the back of her neck.

โ€œYou were inside the class,how did you know what was happening in the cafeteria?โ€ He asked.
โ€œWellโ€ฆ someone came to inform me about itโ€ I smiled, remembering the fat girl.
I like her and i think Iโ€™ll make her my friend.

โ€œWho came to inform you? The fat girl?โ€ He asked.
โ€œIt could have been anybodyโ€ I said.
He shrugged and continued with the note.
โ€œAnel,i wanna tell you somethingโ€ He said.
โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked.
โ€œAfter school is overโ€ he said, looking nervous.
โ€œOkayโ€ I said.

???School Over???

โ€œJacq and Karissa left without even apologising to youโ€ I said to Dan.
We were seated on the bench in the garden, school is over and most students have gone home.

Dan brought me to the garden.

โ€œYeah .i know, Iโ€™ve decided to quit being their friendsโ€ He said.
โ€œOh..no! Dan you canโ€™t do thatโ€ I said.
โ€œDidnโ€™t you see what they did to me? Who does that!โ€ He said and i noticed heโ€™s starting to let out the anger he was bottling inside him.

โ€œDan! They are your friends, theyโ€™re your good friends. Quarrels are bound to happen among friends right?โ€ I asked and he nodded.
โ€œSo just forgive them and move on,you donโ€™t have to behave as childish as they doโ€ I said and patted his back.

He stared at him for a long while before pulling me into a hug.
โ€œThanks Anel, youโ€™re the best thing that has ever happened to meโ€ He said with such deep emotion that i nearly cried.
โ€œIโ€™m gladโ€ I said.

โ€œI love youโ€ He whispered into my ear and my breath stopped for a moment.
An exciting feeling ran down my spine but then i felt sad,so sad.

I disengaged from the hug and faced the other side, tears blinded my eyes.

?Danโ€™s POV?

โ€œI love youโ€ I whispered into her ears,glad that i finally let out my mind.
She disengaged from the hug and quickly face the other side.

She was silence for a long while and i was starting to think sheโ€™ll never talk to me again.

โ€œWas this what you wanted to tell me?โ€ She asked slowly without looking me in the face.
โ€œYes Anel,i love you,so much. Youโ€™re the only girl Iโ€™ve ever felt this way for. Whenever i want to smile,i just close my eyes and think about you. You captured my heart the very moment you walked into the classroom,i feel so happy whenever Iโ€™m with you and i wish you can be mine. Foreverโ€ I said .

Damn!
How did i think of those words?
God is indeed wonderful.
Go on Dan,youโ€™re doing great.

I think the courage i gathered was because she wasnโ€™t facing me.
I wouldnโ€™t have gathered that courage if she was looking at me.

โ€œAnel,will you please be my girlfriend?โ€ I popped the question like a gum and i almost died expecting her to say something.
She wasnโ€™t even facing me.

I heard her sniffle..
Is she sobbing?

She suddenly turned to face me and yes,she was sobbing,her eyes shone with tears and i felt my heart break.

She cleaned her tears and stood up from the bench.

โ€œIโ€™m so sorry Dan, i canโ€™t date youโ€ She said, wiping off the the tears that kept rolling down her cheeks.
My mouth felt bitter,i couldnโ€™t say anything.
It seems like my mind already left my body .

โ€œWhy?โ€ I finally managed to ask.
โ€˜why canโ€™t you date me!โ€™ I screamed inwardly.

โ€œDan, Youโ€™re just like the sun and Iโ€™m just like the moon,your existence is a necessity to mine but on the same sky,we can never exist together. Iโ€™m sorryโ€ She said and walked away.

The tears i didnโ€™t realise i was holding dropped from my eyes and this time my heart didnโ€™t only break but shattered into pieces.
