Elara’s POV
Yaaaay am so happy Braylen accepted my apology and he also ate my meal,he made me feel so important when he collected the meal from me..
Is that not the meal Nicky is always calling disgusting…But Braylen accepted it without even feeling irritated…
I saw how his mouth moved when i was eating and i almost laughed because he’s really staring at my throat,i can tell he likes camotes so i cant help but share it with him…I thought he would not collect it but he proved me wrong and i was glad he did…
I deliberately walked round the garden to give him the space to eat,because i think he may not be comfortable eating my meal while am beside him…
I felt disappointed when the bell rung,i felt like spending more time with him,we both walked out of the garden and he told me he’s feeling pressed..
I climbed the stairs but felt his gaze on my back,i turned but he was already gone..I smiled and headed to the class…
I met Kristin already sitted…
“Ela,you took a little,hope you were comfortable at the place you went to eat?” Kristin asked..
“Yes..Ofcourse yes” I replied sitting..
The class suddenly got silent and we both turned thinking it was a teacher but it was;
Braylen..
He walked in and all the girls were staring secretly at him…Our eyes met and he winked at me..
“OMG, that was so sweet” I thought grinning…
What!
Did he just winked at me? And i was grinning like a fool…
“Arrrrgh!” I sighed….”Elara what has come over you” I thought smacking my head…I stopped when i saw most of the student staring crazily at me…
“Ela, what’s wrong?” Kristin asked.
“Uh” I said
“You were smacking your head and kept mumbling something”…Kristin said..
“Hmm..mm,actually it’s nothing” I replied faking a smile..
“Are you sure you are ok?” Kristin asked again…
“Ofcourse yes” I replied….Suddenly feeling like a fool…
**Fast forward**
🌺School over🌺
Elara’s POV continues….
“So this is what having friends feels like” I thought as i trekked home…
Kristin and Braylen offered me a ride but i kindly refused …
I’ve been missing all along without friends just because of my cold behaviour…All thanks to Kristin and Braylen who brought me out from my shell..
“Granny” I called smiling as i entered the house..
“Ara you are back,looking so happy”
I smiled shyly and dropped my bag..
“Hmm..Did your friends forgive you?” Granny asked…
“Yes granny,they were so happy i apologized”
“Really?”
“Yes granny”
“That was so kind of them” Granny said smiling..
I told granny everything and she laughed at the part Kristin jumped on me…
I cant even wait to see them tomorrow,i thought while cleaning my room…
Braylen’s POV
.
I got down from the car and entered the house smiling,i climbed the stairs to my room…I dropped my bag on the bed and went straight to shower…After showering,i wore an ash top with blue shorts and sat on the bed grinning when i remembered Elara ..How her face lit up when i told her i’ve forgiven her,how her small pink lips moved when eating..How she wa…..
“Braylen” I heard my name and jumped into reality..
My bad!
I forgot to greet nanny when coming in…
I walked to the door scratching my neck..I hesitated at first but later opened it..
“Good afternoon nanny” I greeted still scratching my neck.
“Braylen i saw you enter the house looking happy. Did you got another headphone? Nanny asked.
“No nanny” I replied glad she didn’t give me a knock for not greeting her when i came in…
“Another song released by Drake?” She asked again..
“No nanny,i made a new friend and she’s so beautiful and fun to be with” I replied..
“She?” Nanny asked..
“Yes”
“Ohh..Ok, was that the reason you came in smiling?”
I gave a little nod…
” Ok let’s go to the kitchen” Nanny said and held my wrist,dragging me along…
I frowned,because i know it’s carrot am going to dice in the kitchen…Nanny doesn’t like dicing carrots,so anytime she told me to follow her to the kitchen it’s mostly for dicing carrots…No wonder she didn’t give me a knock for not greeting when i came in…
And i was right..I saw a bowl full of carrots,chopping board with a knife all waiting for me on the kitchen table…
Damn!
🌸🌸The next morning🌸🌸
Kristin’s POV
I got up from the bed and went into the bathroom in my pink pyjamas,i pulled it off and wore my shower cap before getting under the shower…I bath under the shower for some minutes before heading to the zinc with a towel tied around me, i took my toothbrush and pasted some toothpaste on it,i looked at myself in the sink mirror while brushing…I finished brushing and rinsed my mouth…I went back to my room and saw my undies and uniform already laid on the bed..I dried my body with the towel and applied my body lotion..I put on my undies and wore my uniform,i removed the shower cap and trimmed and oiled my curls…I wore my socks and shoes,then carried my bag..I looked at myself in the room mirror and i’m good to go..I was about going out of the room when i remembered the bracelet i bought yesterday for Ela and i. I hurried to my wardrobe and brought them out,it’s looking so beautiful with a “friendship” inscription on it..I wore mine and kept Elara’s in my bag before going downstairs..
“Good morning aunt senora” I greeted the maid..
“Good morning Kristin,your breakfast is on the dining” Aunt senora said..
“Thanks aunt” I said and went to eat my breakfast..
“Bye aunt”
“Bye Kristin”..
I greeted the driver and entered my pink lexus…
I cant wait to get to school…
And i cant wait to see Ela…
Elara’s POV
I walked into the class and my eyes went straight to Braylen,he’s sitted,so engrossed in his phone and didn’t even notice when i sat on my seat beside him…
I tapped his shoulder and he looked up and smiled when he saw my face and i cant also help but smile..
“Elara how are you?” Braylen asked..
“I’m fine and i can also see you are fine” I replied..
Kristin isn’t in school yet..
“You were so engrossed in your phone” I said to braylen..
“Yeah,and i love music also. Have you listened to the song Drake recently released? Am about downloading it” Braylen said..
“Actually i don’t have a phone” I said..
“Really?” He asked..
“Yes”…
Kristin walked in and i must say she’s looking more beautiful,her golden curl is well trimmed and shinny and her face lit up when she saw me,she’s now walking towards my locker smiling…
“Good morning Ela” She said dropping her back on her locker and sat down..
“Good morning Kristin” I replied facing her…
“How are you?” She asked..
“I’m fine and thanks for accepting my apology” I said..
“I should be the one to apologize for yelling at you”
“It’s no big deal” I said..
“Ok,please can i see the time table on your locker?” She said pointing to my locker..
I noticed the bracelet on her wrist…And
Wow!
“What?” She asked..
Oh,i didn’t realize i said the wow aloud…
“Your bracelet,it’s so beautiful” I said..
“Geez” She said and quickly opened her bag and brought out the same bracelet i saw on her wrist…
“Ela,this is for you” Kristin said stretching the second bracelet to me..
” I ?” I asked suprised…
“Yes i bought it on my way home yesterday,please accept it” She said..
“Wow thanks so much,it’s so beautiful” I said and collected it..I wore it on my wrist and it fits me perfectly just like Kristin’s…
I smiled and kept looking at it over and over,it’s looking so costly and beautiful.It’s silver with “Friendship” inscribed on it in pink glitters…It’s so beautiful, i cant take my eyes off it…
Kristin stood up and stretched her wrist forward,she also told me to do the same..I did and the bracelets sparkled together…Looking so beautiful i nearly cried…
We didn’t realise the whole class were staring at us until we heard;
“Wow”
“It’s so beautiful”
” Are they really friends now”….
We both smiled and sat down..I saw Nicky shot me a glare but i don’t freaking care!..
Nicky is such a bitter soul.
