Chapter 13: Thirteen
(Beginning of jealousy😞💘💔)
NICHOLAS'S POV🤨
I couldn't take it anymore from the both of them. Are they feeding each other or something? They keep on buzzing into my ears like two lovers and that's why I was forced to ask a question.
"Yes, he's my friend."she replied and Wyatt looked at her with a lot of admiration in his eyes.
"Oh... Really? "I kinda asked with my gaze fixed on him, he was all smiles for her and kept on staring at her like she was his girlfriend.
Something inside of me felt strange and I was kinda sad seeing him stare at her like that. Maybe he isn't really clarified on the fact that Bella is my childhood friend.
"Oh... So you have other male friends huh?"I teased her.
"Naw! He's just my friend and you're my child hood friend."she explained with seriousness in her eyes and I sighed.
At least he was just a friend, let it be so... I thought throwing him another hard glare which meant; *Don't get too near*. I resumed eating again.
WYATT'S POV😕
A thunderbolt sounded in my ears when I heard *childhood friend* from her lips. That stupid guy who claims to be my stepbrother, is also my crush's childhood friend. What a sad twist!
Even though I was happy when she called me her friend, I didn't hesitate showing my fears when I learnt that they were friends from childhood.
Why him? Why did he know her before me? Jeez! This Nicc is really a bastard!
"Are you okay? "She asked me and I nodded my head rushing at my food hurriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. " I replied nervously and just then, the school bell rang again. The lunch break was over.
She stood up first and Nicc followed her as they walked out of the cafeteria together. And I felt left out in the circle. The pasta I was eating went bland in my tongue, as I watched them walk away.
🗣Oh my! This is a bad combination. A nerd and a prince.
🗣They shouldn't be together, they don't suit each other.
🗣A nerd and a prince charming don't make sense... She should go for the dogs.
🗣Hmmm, something so amusing about her is her google and the way she ties her hair.
🗣She's a flirt, look at how she is clinging to Prince charming .
What I overhead the students say didn't get to me at all but as I watched them walk out of the cafeteria, I felt my whole body burning up with deep pain that spread all over me.
A childhood friend! That's bullshit! Its not...I shuddered and the words that I wanted to say, get caught up in my throat. He's gonna give me a hard time, because there's no way am getting Bella, without passing through him. Ughh!
But why? How did I like her? Why should I like her? Because, She looks like an angel, she eats like an angel and she smiles like one too! But then, that jerk is her childhood friend! Where was I when he came to know her?
Ayish! I threw my plate to the floor noisily and it crashed breaking to pieces and alerting the attention of all the students and the cafeteria attendants.
"Wyatt! "A teacher yelled my name and I didn't bother looking at him cuz he's Mr. Smith, always on my neck whenever something bad happens in school.
I stood up with my face looking so drawn, I went to him. "Follow me now! "He ordered walking away and I followed him from behind.
BELLA'S POV😑
School dismissed for the day and Audrey ran to me again, I didn't see her in school today, I thought she didn't come at all until she stood infront of me smiling.
"You know that new comer too? "She asked and I nodded with a shrug.
"Yeah." I said.
"Whoa! You're popular, don't you think so?"she asked again rolling her eyes at me and I forced a smile hanging my back pack on my back and straightening my skirt so it won't look rumpled.
"How did you know him? "She asked again and I almost shouted at her. Why would she pop into me, not even caring to ask after me but questions about Nicc. Seriously?!
I gulped hard before replying her, "He's my childhood friend."her eyes spread out all the surprise it could muster.
"Really? He's too handsome to be your childhood friend, damn! "Her eyes darted to where Nicc stood, waiting for me, so we could go home together. Before she turned to me again.
"Is he waiting for you? "She asked and I almost rolled my eyes at her before answering.
"Yeah I think. "
"... And his name? "
I suppressed the urge not to frown at her so she wouldn't get the wrong side of me.
"Nicholas, but we call him Nicc."I replied calmly, walking out of the class before she would ask me another dirty question.
I walked up to Nicc while he ignored me as he was busy hitting on a girl. I felt so bad listening to their conversation.
"Damn! You don't look bad either."the girl replied to the compliment he tagged on her.
"Oh thanks, if I'm that cute, why don't you go out with me tomorrow?"he suggested and my legs wobbled.
It felt like my legs couldn't bear my weight any longer, what does that girl have that I don't have?
Eyes?! Nose? Lips? Neck? Hands? Or even legs!! Then why does he hate me so much! He clearly knows how I feel about him and he's saying this infront of me to get me on the edge right? I felt like crying when the girl gave her a nod of her head and then smiled.
"Tomorrow then, handsome."she winked at him joining the crowd of her friends which walked past us.
He turned towards me when they left. "Let's go home."he said but I wasn't in the mood to go home with him again.
I wanted to get away from him as soon as possible. "Uhm... I think you will have to go with your step-brother, I can go alone. Bye! "I forced a smile waving at him as I left.
"Remember you're treating me dinner! Am coming over to your place in the evening."he yelled after me while my heart beat increased... I almost told him not to come, he shouldn't bother coming, that I'm gonna be sick by then but, I changed my mind, I didn't want to speak with him at all.
WYATT'S POV😔
"Wyatt, when I saw you dressing up for school this morning, I thought today will go by without you causing trouble, but I was wrong. Why did you have to break a plate in school?" dad nagged at me.
But I kept mute, I was too angry already to even reply him. I bit my lower lips, remembering that being in detention for two hours made me not to see Bella leave the school and I'm still pissed about it.
"Am talking to you Wyatt, you shouldn't mess yourself up infront of this new boy in the house."he warned and that got me angrier.
Why mention that jerk into this or try to even compare him with me? Why would he do that? Huh!! I walked out on him.
"You dare walk out on me Wyatt!? Come back here!!"
Go to hell dad! Or die instead, psst! And see if I care. Dhurr!
I entered my room to meet Nicc preparing earnestly to leave.I wanted to ask him where he was going but, restrained myself from asking as I landed on the bed to have a rest.
He kept making noise with his mouth, his legs, his hands, everything about him was just making a noise!!
I sprang up from the bed angrily; "Hey, why the fuvk are you making noise? "I asked him and he smirked.
"Nothing, just to disturb your fuvking peace. Don't worry I'm leaving soon to see my childhood friend... " At the mention of childhood friend, my mind ran to Bella immediately and my heart began to ache. He was going out with Bella?
"Oh really? "my voice reduced to a whisper as I landed back on the bed. I was too weak to speak.
Why am I jealous? Why? They're childhood friends but why does it bother me so much?
"Can I come with you? "I found myself asking shamefully, not because I wanted to go with him, but I wanted to see Bella.
He glared at me in a surprising manner, touching the bangs of his hair. "Really? Well I won't allow that "
Is he being serious? "Hey! Nicc, I want to come, I'm bored on my own."I said and he threw me a hard glare.
"Well, you have friends right? Go to them. I don't think we're that close enough to hang out together."
"Not like I want to hang out with you either. I just don't wanna be alone tonight."
"You've always been alone. I think I came to exist in this room, not less then 24 hours ago." He snapped, banging the door closed behind him
Ugh fuvk! He's so damn rude and he's going to meet Bella now!
Oh shit! I wonder what kinda fun they will have without me.
