Elara’s POV
I really felt bad after what Kristin said to me,she’s not really at fault.
Normally when i ignore people for like one or two days,they would stop talking to me but kristin and braylen isn’t like that,they are the only ones who normally say hi to me yet i will just ignore them,i felt bad for doing that but i just cant help it…I thought on my way to the cafeteria..
I was about entering into the cafeteria when Nicky and her two puppies stopped me at the entrance..
“Where do you think you are entering with your disgusting lunch box?” Nicky said.
“You wanna infect other students with germs right?”
I stood there staring at her..
“What’s with the glare?…
Cant you speak huh?” Nicky asked getting pissed.
I know my silence get people pissed and am glad it’s affecting Nicky…
“From this moment! you are bound from eating in this cafeteria or in the class” Nicky said
“And what are you still doing here?” One of her puppies(rossi) asked glaring at me.
“And dont even eat around this building,you have to go to the last building to eat your disgusting meal,i hate the sight of you. Merely looking at you want to make me puke. Nicky said..
I turned and started walking to the last building,am already getting used to Nicky’s abusive words…I got down from the last stairs…The compound is silent as all the students were in the cafeteria. I started walking round the school compound to see if i can secure a little corner to eat my sopes before it gets spoilt…This school is super beautiful,this is actually my first time of walking round the school..I walked towards the back of the school and sighted a garden..
Wow!
If there is anything i love most..They are flowers,i walked closer to the garden and it was more beautiful on getting closer to it.It is dead silent.I stood there and watched the grasses and flowers in admiration for some minutes before i finally settled on the well trimmed grass,i brought out my sopes and started eating with cool breeze blowing through my hair.
I bet i can eat here for the rest of my life…I heard foot steps and i turned to see braylen standing behind me with a covered meal in his hand.
“Excuse me. i said.
Why do you have to follow me here? isn’t it clear i don’t want to be friends with anyone” I haff yelled looking up at him from where am sitting..
He’s looking super cute,his eyelashes are long and curled,his nose is perfectly pointed then his lips…Oh…My..God..
I mentally slapped my self..He was still staring down at me..
“Elara” i heard him say.
“You should be the one to excuse me from this garden,Ok?
And i didn’t follow you here,this is where i’ve been eating my lunch before you came into this school and ofcourse…I know you don’t want to be friends with anyone,i have also decided not to waste my time saying “hi” to someone who probably feels too cold to reply my greetings.
I know what happened between you and Nicky earlier,so you are always welcome to eat in this garden.” Braylen said and went to sit a little far from me,he started eating staring at his phone.I stood up,covered my sopes and went out of the garden feeling very bad.
I’ve been hurting people’s feelings all this while in the name of being cold…
Braylen’s POV
..
I entered the garden and saw the back frame of someone sitting..
The person turned and it turns out to be Elara…Oh..I heard Nicky told her not to eat in the cafeteria anymore..
“Excuse me” She had said..
“Why do you have to follow me here,isn’t it clear i don’t want to be friends with anyone”….She half yelled…
Wow!
Her voice sounds cool,this is actually the first time an hearing her speak, it’s so cool and a little tiny..
What!
I jerked back,am i really thinking about that after she yelled at me.I braced up and also replied her…
She seems a little hurt after i finished talking,i went to sit and started eating my lunch..She stood up and left the garden..
Who cares!
I finished my lunch and also went out of the garden….Heading to the class..
Kristin’s POV
..
I never knew how those words stumbled out of my mouth,i only planned not to greet her any more if she doesn’t reply my greetings but those words just rushed out of my mouth..
I was a bit pleased when i saw her face turn guilty,i know those words really got into her..
I hope she changes…
Nicky told her not to eat in the cafeteria and i wonder where she went to eat her meal..
I’ve never yearned to be friends with anyone the way i yearn to be with Elara..
**Fast forward**
(School over)
Elara’s POV
..
I entered the house with a sad expression..What Kristin and Braylen really got into me…I mean i’ve been unfair to them..
“Ara,Granny called.
What’s wrong, she asked as she stood up from the couch walking towards me..
“Granny” I called with teary eyes..I may be cold but am very emotional..
“I’ve been unfair to the people who tries to be my friend” I said and bursted out crying…
Granny led me to the couch and i sanked into it…
“Ara,can you tell me what’s going on?” Granny asked..
“Granny” I called sniffing…Then i explained everything to her from the day i resumed Edron college till date…
She sighed heavily and said;
” Ara your parents are long gone,you can’t keep holding on to the past,now tell me will your parents be happy if they sees how unfair and cold you have been to people?” Granny asked..I shook my head negatively..
“Ara,leave the past and enjoy the present. Aren’t you fed up of being lonely? She asked and i continue looking at her…
“Ara you are a teenager,and you are supposed to enjoy your teenage days,make friends and have fun..Please Ara till when will you stop being cold to people……
Granny talked to me for a long period of time and i ended up sobbing on her shoulder..
“Ara,she called and i raised up my head from her shoulder…Make sure you apologise to the both of them tomorrow,ok? Granny said..
I nodded positively,i’ve promised to stop being cold to people,i also want to know what friendship feels like and the main reason is to stop hurting people’s feelings.. But that doesn’t stop me from my revenge plan…Am gonna put the culprits to book anytime i come across them…
We both stood up and went to the kitchen to make our dinner..
Sincerely i cant wait for tomorrow,because i know tomorrow is the beginning of change in my life..I thought happily..
