Fifteen

(Mysterious friends👯👭👭)

NICHOLAS'S POV😏🤍

She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out, "Do you really love me? "I repeated and she loosened up.

"I used to, but not anymore."she replied coldly and no lies, my whole body shook terribly.

"You used to? When and how? "I asked deeply curious, as I stared into her eyes, she looked away from my direction.

Something tells me that she likes me so much, no matter how she tries to hide it.

I stepped closer to her and she took a step backward still avoiding my gaze.

I took another step closer trying to hold her hand when she suddenly ran off even without saying goodbye.

BELLA'S POV😓

I ran home, ran into my room and shut the door behind me, before leaning my back on it, I was panting heavily.

What was he trying to do? To torment me? To fool me? That is not going to happen.

My back scrolled down till I sat on the floor of the door still ruminating about what would've happened between us.

What was on his mind? When did he turn flirty?

My heart was threatening to fly off my chest, I held my chest together with my hands, I could still feel it beat so hard against my chest.

I began to praise myself. I did a very good job by telling him that I don't love him anymore. Tears gathered around my eyes immediately and I stood up immediately rushing to my bed.

A tap on my leg thrice made my eyes flutter open, I sat up from the bed to see Brad carrying a cup of tea and bread on a tray standing infront of me.

I yawned loudly looking at him with a surprised expression in my eyes.

Who owns the cup of tea and bread? I chuckled with the thought that it was mine.

"Good morning. "he greeted with his face looking downwards. He was pouting again and it made me wonder if he was the guy who talked down on me yesternight, in the kitchen.

"Since when did you start greeting me, witty kid? "I replied him and he sat down beside me, in the process, he kept the tray on the bed.

"I'm sorry about last night."he apologized with pouted lips and I beamed. I fluffed his hair. He need not apologize, he did the right thing.

"Awwwwwwn, Brad. I'm not mad at you at all."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know what came over me last night. "he said in a low voice with his face far away from me

I giggled touching his jaw and raising his chin up so he would look into my eyes.

"Look at me Brad."I said while he shook his head like a baby. "Look at me Brad, i'm not angry with you."his face lit up at what I said.

"Really? "I nodded my head and he went into my arms. I wrapped my arms around him and patted him gently.

"I'm sorry."he apologized again.

"You don't have to apologize. I couldn't even speak up for myself infront of him. And you did that for me. That's the most reasonable thing you ever did in your life." I said pointing at his nose and he smiled lightly.

"You're too crazy for a brother!" I muttered while he giggled.

He stood up from the bed, took the tray sighing loudly.

"Are you leaving? "I asked.

"Yes, thanks for being my sister."he said and smiled, but my eyes feasted on the tray in his arms.

I thought it was for me or is he gonna leave it behind?

"Thanks bro."I replied dryly while he turned his back on me moving towards the door. "Hey! The tray? "I snapped.

"What happened to it? "He asked after he turned,

"I thought it was for me? "

He chuckled darting his eyes to the tray and then back to me. "Why would you think that? You're dumb! So dumb Bella. Why would I prepare this for you? Because of sorry? Hell no! Don't even dream of it."he insulted.

"Who did you just call dumb? brat! "I yelled, getting out of my bed and running after him.

WYATT'S POV😕

I didn't know when I slept off last night, all I know was that I woke up on the floor and that jerk was ontop of my bed.

I was very furious, I went over to the bed and pulled at his legs until he hit his butt on the floor.

"Ouch! Hey! You want to kill me?? "He grumbled after the fall.

I rolled my eyes at him biting my lips afterwards. When did he get home? What time was it? How is Bella? Is she okay? Did she ask about me? ...Were the questions in my head and I wanted to ask him but I kept my silence.

"You can't even say sorry huh?" he asked while I ignored him, going into the bathroom.

Five minutes later, I was done with bathing and preparing, I combed my blonde hair and wore a perfume before hanging my sling bag on my back.

He wasn't in the room by the time I finished preparing, so I went downstairs, I met him in the dinning table with his mom and my dad already having breakfast.

I hissed and was about heading for the door when my dad's words stopped me; "Aren't you eating with us? "

"No I'm already late for school."I replied with my back still turned to them.

"Hmmm, what's gotten into my son that always make him be so early to school? "He teased.

I heard the woman giggling. "It's funny how teenage boys life..." I didn't wanna hear her rubbish and it would've been nicer if she didn't try to reply.

I held the door handle, twisted it open and walked out of the house.

BELLA'S POV😯

🗣Oh my God! The nerd is in school now.

🗣Jeez! Is she the one, the new comer was following around?

🗣 The new comer's childhood friend!

🗣I heard Chloe sat at her table yesterday too.

🗣She's a popular nerd!

🗣What spell did she cast on them?

🗣I think she isn't that bad after all, she's so cool in those googles she's wearing.

I heard murmurs as I came into the school premises. I wonder who they're gossipping about this time.

Either it's Wyatt or it's Nicholas. But, I was shocked when the girls clustered around me, some were hugging me while some were struggling to touch me.

🗣O my bad! I want to be your friend.

🗣What's your name? I'm sorry if I ever insulted you.

🗣Hey tell me your name, I want to be your friend.

🗣My name is Janet, what's yours?

🗣My name is Jenny please, can I be your friend?

🗣I'm Aurora, you need my phone number? I want to be your friend.

Noises filled my head and I didn't even know whom to listen to.

I was startled and so surprised. How come they wanna be my friend? Isn't that mysterious? Am I dreaming? These girls that cursed at me and called me all sort of names suddenly wanna be my friend? Are they mocking me?

I forced my way out of the little crowd but they still made their way around me making me scared.

🗣She's not even that bad.

🗣I wish I can be your friend.

I gulped hard staring at one face to another wondering what could be on their mind. Why they suddenly wake up one fine morning and just decided to taunt me. That's when I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

"Bella! "It sounded. It was Wyatt's voice.

I beamed at him before waving my arm in the air for him and the murmurs started again.

🗣She's Chloe's friend!

🗣Make us your friend please.

They were staring at me with pleading gazes but to me, it was like another mockery added to my name.

"Okay, I will make all you of my friend."I said with a clear voice and they screamed.

They clustered around me the more, bringing out stuffs from their bags and handing them over to me.

🗣Here this is popcorn, I got it for you as a friend.

🗣Here, Some snacks.

🗣Cookies!!.

🗣Chocolates.

My hand was stuffed to the brim. I was more baffled than ever, it doesn't look like they're mocking me at all.

But it's sudden how people can change over night. They curse you this minute and wanna be nice to you the next minute...Just like Nicholas.
