Bella

My morning alarm woke me up and before I knew it I was coming out of the bathroom and drying my b©dy and we-t hair.

I got dressed for school and as I brushed my hair in front of the mirror my eyes landed on the crystal n£¢klace again and I sighed.

I t©uçhed the n£¢klace and remembered Fynn. He said there’s a way, and I shouldn’t lose hope. I should always be positive my life isn’t going to end up in a n£¢klace.

I let my hair down and and gr@bb£d my backpack before joining the girls in the car.

I got to clas-s and made it to my seat, I started to study and while studying Sophie c@m£ to me, she sat in fynn’s seat and we both studied together. Fynn walked inside the clas-s finally without his cheerleaders around him today and I could see Sophie feel nervous all of a sudden.

“Hey.” he said with a small smile.

“Good morning” Sophie smiled back.

“HI?” I replied without looking at him.

“Don’t mind me sitting here, I just wanted Bella and I to study together” sophie said standing up.

“Well it’s okay i can take your seat for now.” Fynn said nicely.

Sophie smiled. “Thanks” before sitting down.

“Okay then I’ll be off” Fynn said.

“Okay,” Sophie smiled and glanced at me with a smile.

“Bella.” Fynn called and I looked

up at him saying “what?”.

“Nothing” he smiled, shook his head negatively and starts to head ro Sophie’s seat.

I shook my head negatively, what a weirdo, I glanced at Sophie and she was busy smiling to herself. You know that feeling when someone is in love. Oh she looks so cute.

“You should see your face right now.” I laughed.

“What? Is it obvious that I’m way happy Fynn is here.” Sophie asked tou-ching her forehead “wow I must be sick”.

“Lovesick you mean.” I rolled my eyes and she pla-yfully nudged me smiling from ear to ear.

*

Hours later our math test started and fynn and Sophie had alre-ady switched seats.

The whole clas-s was quiet and every student faced their papers and our teacher, instead of watching us, stood in front of the window enjoying the cool breeze and heavenly view.

“And I’m done.” Fynn said quietly dropping his pen.

“What?” I whisper-yelled.

“Are you sure you did everything correctly?” I asked in a whisper. Fynn nodded with a smile and I sighed and focused on mine.

It was remaining twelve questions for me to go throu-gh and they all looked easy.

As I was attempting the second question from the remaining twelve questions, I felt a light t©uçh on my shoulder and I turned cause it was Fynn.

“What do you want?” I whisper-yelled.

“I’m bored.” he pouted.

“SO?” I Rolled my eyes and turned back to my papers.

Fynn gently tapped his hands on my papers, ma-king me turn to him angry.

“What the hell Fynn, let me finish this first!” I said.

“Want to see magic?” he win-ked at me.

“Get lost” I said and turned back to my papers.

Fynn suddenly starts to climb on his desk and I g@sped.

“What are you doing get down. You’ll get in trouble.” I whisper yelled but he ignored my words and stood straight on the table.

I was panicking but everyone was still focused on their test even the teacher noticed nothing.

Suddenly Fynn yelled. “I AM BORED!!!” his voice echoed throu-gh the whole clas-s and my heart almost fell out.

But I paused. It was like no one heard him, or could actually see he is standing on his desk.

I looked around still surprised by the fact that Fynn yelled but no one heard a thing.

“What’s… What’s going on?” I was surprised…

“You see” Fynn started and jumped down from his desk. “What the whole clas-s is seeing is the two of us writing but they can’t actually see what we’re really doing.” Fynn said and I looked at him awkwardly.

“What?” I was lost.

“Come on.” he said gr-abbing my hand.

“What are you crazy, if the teacher.–

“Like I said no one can hear us or see what we’re doing right now. Well they can see us but what they will be seeing is the two of us writing they won’t know we’re actually having a conversation right now or me even standing up or holding you” Fynn explained.

“B..but how?” I was surprised.

“You shouldn’t be surprised you know I’m gif–

I interrupted him. “Yeah yeah you’re gifted I get it.” I rolled my eyes and he laughed and pu-ll-ed me up.

“Now come on” He said as I unwillingly stood up.

“But I’m not done yet.” I said referring to the test.

“But you are.” he said with a wi-nk and I looked down at my papers to see I’ve completed my tests.

What.?

When?

“I did not do this!” I said dropping my pen angrily.

“You did but you don’t know.” Fynn smiled and gr@bb£d my pen.

“Now come on let’s have fun.” he said dragging my out from my seat.

“What fun? Seriously Fynn we’re having a test,” I sighed.

“But we’re both done. And I’m bored so, come on let’s see what’s Sophie’s doing” Fynn said and pu-ll-ed me to Sophie seats.

Sophie was still busy with the test, she seemed focused and I was surprised when she couldn’t even see us or hear us.

“Look.” Fynn pointed to her papers. “she’s almost done. Should we help her?” Fynn gave a sly grin.

“Sometimes I don’t un-derstand your type of fun” I said before heading back to my seat.

“Look I don’t know how you made us unnoticeable but can you plea-se make us noticeable again let’s just get this test over with” I said crossing my hands over my che-st.

“You’re no fun at all” Fynn scoffed before walking up to his seat.

Suddenly the teacher facing the window turned to the clas-s and immediately we all heard the bell.

“That’s the bell. Everyone that’s it for today’s test. Pas-s your papers to the front of go out of the clas-s” the teacher instructed.

.

Sophie told me to go eat lunch without her that she has a word to say with fyyn.

And we all know what she wants to talk about.

Eating alone was kind of good if I would say, my food and drink took it quiet time to dance and sing as they made their way to my stomach and I enjoyed the sa-vouring taste.

Almost done with my food, as I took the last bite and ended it all with water.

“Hey..!” I heard Sophie’s voice behind me and I turned and smiler at her as she held on a smiley face and sat in front of me.

“What? You’re alre-ady done with your food so fast.” Sophie g@sped.

“I was really starving” I smiled.

Sophie sighed and said. “Guess what?”

I’m guessing Fynn happened..

“I’m not a good guesser tell me.” I Lied.

“Well starting from today Fynn and I are… well… d@t!ng.” Sophie smiled.

“No way.!” I g@sped like I had no idea about the whole thing.

Well she’s happy.

“Yes way!” sophie said.

“So how did it go and where is Fynn!” I asked.

“Well he said he had to check on something first and actually it went like this, I bec@m£ more specific about the message I was trying to pas-s to him yesterday, and just when I wanted to ask if he’d like to go out with me, he didn’t let me finish he immediately asked me out, like Fynn is so ro-mantic, oh you should have been there.” Sophie said smiling from ear to ear.

“Oh well good for you, you nailed your test you got a b©yfri£nd, wow dream come true” I said pla-yfully and she laughed.

“Anyways I’m done eating, and I’m going to head back to clas-s.”

I said standing up.

“What? But you can still–

“You can eat with Fynn he’s coming towards here alre-ady, I don’t want to be a third wheel, You two can eat alone.” I said and made it to clas-s…

Alone in clas-s I decided to re-ad anything that I t©uçh first when I open my bag. Well I brou-ght out one of my book but I couldn’t see which book it was, my sight was suddenly blurry and I didn’t know what was going on.

I dropped the book and my bag and looked up at the empty clas-s and I couldn’t detect a thing cause everything was still blurry.

I shut my eyes and opened them again but nothing happened.

Everywhere still remained blurry and I started to panic, I couldn’t stand or yell or do anything, if I should stand I would fall cause my sight is totally ruined and if I should scream for help no b©dy would un-derstand my situation.

I heard the school’s bell which means lunch break is over and before I knew it, students starts to walk back into the clas-s.

I remained in my seat and my legs bec@m£ shaky. I was freaking out, I could hear students walking into the clas-s but I couldnt see a thing, and each time I open and Close my eyes. My vision bec@m£ worse.

What is happening to me!

Now I could see nothing but totally whiteness, it was like a thick smoke was placed in front of my eyes…

Tears started to gather in my eyes. I wanted to reach out for help, I wanted to yell, but I was also confused, I didn’t un-derstand what was happening to me.

“Bella.? What’s wrong?” I heard fynn’s voice and a tear dropped from my eyes. I felt him seat on his seat and I turned to him.

“Fynn.” I sniffed, “I can’t see” I said.

I was facing him but I couldn’t see his face,

“What? What do you mean you can’t see!” His voice sounded so distant that I thought he was going away,

“Fynn are you there.?” I asked placing my hand around his desk to feel his hand and see if he’s still here.

I gently felt his hand against mine as he said. “I’m here.”

And immediately, his face c@m£ into view.

I g@sped..

“Oh my God” I breathed happily as I dried my tears with my hand.

“Are you okay?” Fynn asked again and I looked around the clas-s and breathed out a sigh of relief when I saw everything clear and complete.

“Yeah. But a minute ago I couldn’t see a thing, everywhere, everything bec@m£ blurry and when I shut my eyes and open them again it bec@m£ worse and now my sight is back.” I explained briefly and fynn adjusted in his before glancing at my… His n£¢klace and then me.

“You’re having a.. Uh… How can I put this… Side effect? Yeah side effect.” Fynn said.

“What? Side effect!” I almost yelled.

“Yeah you see, the n£¢klace it contains good stuff and also bad one and it–

The teacher who walked into the clas-s made Fynn quiet as he yelled. “Okay everyb©dy less talking”.

“I’ll tell you everything later” Fynn said promisingly.

I huffed and turned to the teacher.

He better tell me later.

Side effect. Like what the hell?

I didn’t sign up for a life like this.

Fynn didn’t have the time to tell me till school was over and even when school was finally over, Sophie c@m£ up to him and they both just started to act like they’re the only ones d@t!ng.

Well my problem was the only thing I cared about. The word side effect couldn’t leave my head and I couldn’t st©p thinking about my blind moment in clas-s.

Bella

Fynn and I were finally alone, Sophie has taken her route home and now it’s just Fynn and I taking our route him.

Before I’d ask about the goddamned side effect Fynn talked about earlier he started to tell me about it.

“So about the side effect I was talking about earlier, yeah so I think the cause of your, earlier lost of sight, I think it’s from n£¢klace.” Fynn explained.

“No kidding!” I yelled sarcastically.

“Calm down.,” Fynn said.

“Calm down, no way, okay so the first one is, if I take off this n£¢klace, I choke to death and the second one is side effects and I just bec@m£ blind an hour ago and what next am I going to be deaf or maybe dumb or maybe paralyzed, how the hell do you expect me to calm down!” my voice echoed throu-gh the quiet street.

And I think this will be the first time I’ll be yelling like this.

Fynn sighed. “I know, I know, I don’t expect you to take this all in at once but just breathe and let me explain!”

I breathed in and out heavily. “Okay now explain.” I said and adjusted my backpack on my back.

“Okay so, you know I don’t really know much about the n£¢klace but I know once it has imprinted on someone, just like how it has done to you, well it starts to give you side effects and no nee-d to worry about them, they only show up like two or three times before the n£¢klace finally gives what it wants to give.” fynn explained.

“Give what it wants to give?” I repeated looking at Fynn.

“Yeah. Like after this side effects, you’re receiving something from the n£¢klace, sometimes people get something bad, while sometimes people get something good. It depends on how worthy you are” Fynn explained and I yelled “What?.!”

“Okay so what if I recieve something bad at the end. And by something bad what actually do you mean?” I asked.

“Well…” fynn ru-bbe-d his n£¢k nervously.

“Some people dies or ends up being something worthless” Fynn said and I g@sped.

“No no but don’t worry. I think you will take the good source from the n£¢klace.” Fynn as-sured me with his familiar smile

“Well thanks, I hope so. You got me in this mess, if I ever get the bad side because of this, I’ll make sure I drag you down with me.” I threatened

But he smiled. “That would be good.”

“Don’t think this is a joke” I rolled my eyes.

.

I didn’t tell him goodbye when I got to my house, I just scoffed and walked away but he was the one to yell “Goodbye”.

And I suddenly start to regret, but why should I regret maybe it was one of the side effect.

I got to my room and str!pped immediately taking a cold bath.

I was drying my hair with my towel when the door opened and Jane walked in.

“Huh, you’re home early today!” I said.

“Yeah, I was alre-ady home before school was over, I took an abs£nt, I was feeling a little down.” Jane said, her voice was low and sad.

“Well, are you okay now?” I asked .

“Well I’m okay, I wanted to have dinner and I wanted to check on you first to see if you wish to have dinner with me, or you’ve alre-ady had dinner?”

“No” I smiled. “And yeah I’d love to have dinner with you. Let me just dry my hair first” I tell her.

“It’s okay, I can help with that,” she walked into my room, gr@bb£d my hair dryer and told me to sit in front of my drawer mirror.

“No it’s okay, I can do it myself, I just have to dry it a little bit with my towel.” I said wanting to take the dryer from her but she moved back.

“Bella. I can do it, seriously I want to help and you’re being mean about it.” she rolled her eyes.

“Okay fine” I sat down, “I just didn’t want to trouble you that’s all.” I added.

“it’s okay, it’s not trouble at all” she smiled and turned it on.

Jane helped me dry my hair and before I know it were both downstairs ma-king our dinner.

Finally dinner was re-ady, just as I was about going to the dinning room. Jane st©pped me.

“Can we have this in my room plea-se?”

“Your room?” I repeated.

She nodded and I smiled and said “let’s go”.

–

It was my first time in Jane’s room and Goodness everything looks so new and expensive and she’s been living in the room all her life, it looks unt©uçhed and everything was shiny and purple and her be-d was big enough to contain eight people,

We both sat around a small table for two at the corner of her room and seriously it was the best room ever.

So much for having a Rich mom, I wonder why dad never mentioned his baby sister was filthy rich.

Like Jane’s room could explain it all.

The girls never really let me in their rooms before, but somehow I feel Jane’s starting to like me, and Goodness I couldn’t wish for anything more, at least one member of the family doesn’t hate me.

We both starts to eat quietly and Jane slowly dropped her spoon.

“Bella” she called and I looked up.

“I think I’m broken.” she said sadly.

“What do you mean?” I asked inquisitively.

“Sean broke up with me.” she sniffed.

“Oh…” I was suddenly speechless.

I don’t know how to react in cases like this. Or what to even say.

“Like he just walked up to me and said, this isn’t working out between us and when I asked what he meant he said we’re not meant for each other. He apologized and said we can never work out!” Jane said as tears starts to gather in her eyes.

“Whoa… I mean he can’t just break the two of you off like that, I mean he must have a reason behind it.” I said suddenly feeling sorry for her.

“I don’t know, I tried to talk to him about it but he just cut me off and said I shouldn’t f0rç£ us, that we wouldn’t last anyways.” Jane cleaned her tears.

“Sorry.” I said dropping my spoon.

“It’s okay… Well it’s not okay, but don’t apologize. I mean if anyb©dy would wanted to dump anyone, it would have been me dumpling his as-s, cause he was the one who k!$$£d my sister and I forgave him for that and now he’s dumping me, for what? I did nothing and now he’s telling me we’re better off separated.!” Jane complained as she tried to fight off the tears from her eyes.

So that’s why she wanted to have this dinner with me. She had no one to talk to or cry to in cases like that.

I’m so t©uçhed.

I stood up from where I was seated, walked up to her, pu-ll-ed her up and hvgged her.

She quic-kly hvgged me back and cried on my shoulder.

“Don’t cry!” I tell her.

“Crying makes you look weak and I believe he’s happy right now, cause there must be a stupid reason why he broke up with you, but don’t cry.” I said patting her back.

“Well I can’t help but cry.” Jane sniffed as I she let’s go of me.

“Well don’t, Wait did you come home early from school because of Sean.?” I asked.

Jane nodded.

And I sighed. “You shouldn’t, he’s probably laughing at you ofthis, you shouldn’t act weak. Sean is stupid for breaking up with you, and tomorrow you have to go to school, be strong and show him you can do better without him. And trust me seeing him shocked about you being better will make him weak” I said and Jane smiled softly.

Arranging everything in her head.

“Okay i will st©p crying now” she cleaned her tears.

“Thanks” I smiled at her.

“It’s okay… Okay!?” I tell her and she nodded.

She sighed and with gave a small smile.

“Well we should finish our dinner first” she said and we both sat down and continued our dinner.

.

I la-id on my be-d and watched the small ceiling fan on my ceiling, circle around in the slowest motion ever.

The day was getting dark and laying on my be-d was actually one of my routine in time like this and then I fall asleep.

And it was like I could feel it, no just when I thought of Fynn I heard a knock on my balcony door and I knew it was him immediately.

I opened the glas-s doors and he said “Hey.”

“And of course it’s you.” I sighed.

“Of course. Who else would climb this tree and knock on the doors of your balcony,” Fynn said.

“Literally no one cause all my friends are sane.” I said closing the doors and walking up to the railings.

“Friends? I’m your only friend.” Fynn said.

“No way.” I scoffed.

“Okay besides Sophie, who else do you hang out with?” Fynn questioned.

I sighed when I realised I don’t have any friend beside Sophie… And fynn.

“See?” he smiled when he saw me sigh.

“So why are you here anyways?” I asked.

“Cause I want to.” he replied.

I rolled my eyes. “Okay next time you come knocking I won’t even bother opening the door” I tell him.

“Oh trust me you will.” he smiled at me.

We both remained quiet and stare at the tree in front of us.

“So..?” I started. “How are you and Sophie doing? She’s really happy”.

“we’re doing Fynn, I mean even though I was f0rç£d to be in a relationsh!pwith her, thanks to you.” He said looking at me angrily.

“You weren’t f0rç£d and especially not by me, we just made a deal.” I said lowly.

“A deal.” Fynn scoffed.

“If Sophie wasn’t fun to be with I’d have not made that deal with you.”

“So she’s fun to be with.” I sm-irked at him. “See the two of you are alre-ady bonding”.

“Yeah I wouldn’t call that bonding” Fynn shook his head.

“So have you guys had your first k!ss.?” I tea-sed pla-yfully and he glared at me.

“What? It’s just a silly little question!” I laughed seeing his face.

His face suddenly soften and he smiled. “You have a beautiful laugh.”

“Don’t try to change the subject”.

I mean I was flattered but I can’t get caught.

“I am not changing the subject and no we haven’t had our first k!ssyet… and I don’t think we’re ever going to” Fynn said.

“Why not!” I rolled my eyes.

“Well…” Fynn began. “Since Sophie and I will have to k!sssooner or later, it means I’m doomed”.

I looked at him. “What do you mean doomed?”

“I have no idea on how to k!ss.”

I scoffed. “You’re not kidding.? So you’re telling me you don’t know how to k!ss, haven’t you done it before?”

“I haven’t.”

Well I believe him since he used to live in a tree.

Oh jesus.

I started “Okay fine. Look k!ss!ngis not a problem, if you and Sophie wants to actually k!ss, if like you really want to and for example the two of you heads are so close and you’re really going for it, if the two of you actually went for it and start k!ssing, you just go for it and k!ss!ngitself would help itself you don’t nee-d to know how to k!ssto be able to k!ss, it’s actually there at the ti-p of ourl-ips waiting for a p@rtner to share it with. ”

Wow I can’t believe I’m having a conversation like this… I dropped my hands cause I’ve been using it to elaborate on k!ss!ngfor Fynn.

Fynn laughed.

“I don’t think it’s at the t©p of myl-ips. Maybe I should practice first.”.

“Yeah sure, whatever.” I rolled my eyes. “But wait, who are you going to practice with. Jojo? Oh right you’re gifted. You can make a plastic doll starts moving and ask for her permission to k!ssher.”

“Ha-ha very funny” Fynn said with a small smile.

“I was hoping to practice with you!” Fynn said.

I turned to him. “You’re crazy.”
