☹️ Annabelle’s pov 🌼
I walked into the house together with Stella, she has been disturbing me about what’s wrong with me, since I arrived her school and also included in the cab. But I just can’t tell her, what will she see her sister as?
I can’t even tell my mum.
Raymond isn’t around, probably he went out as usual
Everyone c@m£ back, we had lunch then dinner, thank God no as-signment I just walk down to my room to rest my head
The house was fun today, but it wasn’t fun for me, everyone kept asking me what the problem was, even dad, but I still don’t wanna let them, Raymond even bought a pouch for me, I wonder how he would had known, probably Stella told him while speaking to him throu-gh the public telephone
But now is all of no use
Raymond was trying his all possible best to earn a laugh from me, but I just couldn’t laugh, cause of the pain am going throu-gh now
even though I wanna save back to repair the phone or buy a new one, that may take me ages
.
NEXT MORNING
I walked into my clas-s sadly, am just not to early to school today, because I don’t just want to be in school at all, after yesterday experience, thank God nob©dy saw what happened, if not it would had just been another key towards people abusing me the way they plea-se
Walking into the clas-s, I noticed almost everyone was staring at me, in some kind of awkward way I can’t really figure out.
hmm…. whatever
maybe when am done here I will just go meet Eva, just for her to know am in school , I just hope she wouldn’t be angry, but am not just in the mood for our normal crazy stuff
I arrived my sitting position and something caught my eyes Immediately, wait, am I seeing well, my table and chair all stained and designed with the writing of some black marker.
I quic-kly bent close to it, to see what was written on it, jeeez!!
SLUT!!, PROSTITUTE!!, CRAZY THIEF, RELATIONSh!pBREAKER!!, LUNATIC!!, STUPID FREAK etc…..
They were written all over table and chair, jeez!!, me!!, I Know am the weak type who can’t defend my self, but the person who did this really went hoverboard, how can I use this now, all teachers will see me as an irresponsible student with this on my desk, God!!, I just nee-d to clean, I dropped my bag on the floor beside my chair, and something caught my attention, a white note neatly folded on my chair
I picked it up re-ading the content in it. it re-ads “this is just the beginning bit-ch!!, just see more coming your way”
Well it’s clearly known, no nee-d to bother my self on who could had done this, it’s clearly Natasha’s work, God, what have I gotten my self into.
Tears begin dripping off my eyes, and I immediately wiped it off, I can’t be weighed down by Natasha, a whole school queen picking up on someone like me, she’s just too crazy
But for now, I have to clean this up
I looked for any unused rag close by, soaking it in water for easy usage
I cleaned, cleaned and cleaned, though it was ha-rd , but I really thank God it wasn’t a permanent marker she usef
Some people stared at me with pity, some mockingly, some where even laughing hmm:-|☹️☹️
I’ve never seen any clas-smate as crazy and unsupportive as this people I find my self between
_________________________________________
BREAK HOUR
I didn’t bother to go to Eva’s clas-s anymore cause when I was done in wiping off the stains, it was alre-ady lesson start so I just stayed so as not to miss any lesson from the teacher. I just kinda thank God that Natasha and I aren’t in the same clas-s if not the bullying would had been much more
Though Eva c@m£ to my clas-s Immediately it was the time for break, she just kept on asking me anxiously why my mood was this way, but I just don’t know the right answer to give her
I think I would tell her later, but not now, probably during closing hours. cause she went for lunch with Tyler at the cafeteria
Yes, she went for lunch with Tyler, though she invited me to come along, but I refused, not only because of my mood,, but also because I want the both of them to really get along, though she really wanted me to come along, but I guess she’s having fun now
I just don’t know why my crazy br@in didn’t remind me of who Nelson’s girlfriend was, and also that he was alone
But actually, I really nee-d to be somewhere alone, somewhere quiet, this clas-s is really noisy and it’s kinda giving me a head ache.
thank God Dave didn’t see me today looking this way, cause I know he probably won’t hesitate asking me questions.
jeez!!, where would I go to now, I really nee-d to be somewhere, somewhere where nob©dy is,.
yeah, I think the school garden is a perfect place to be, it’s ha-rd ly noisy and I don’t think anyone would be there since it’s lunch break
I walked into the garden lovely view and thankfully no one seems to be there.
I sat on a low concrete chair opposite the flowing fountains non-st©p. At least I can feed my eyes with this before break gets over. wow, here is really beautiful, now I see why Eva really love coming here that way.
Still staring at the fountain, I felt someone sitting beside me, jeeez!!, I just wanted to be alone, gosh this person really spoiled my show, I didn’t even bother looking at the person until he cleared his throat, I would say he, cause it sounded like a guy,
I looked at the person and immediately, my eyes met with that of Nelson, I quic-ky shift far from him to the end of the chair I can’t afford Natasha seeing us close to each other, he caused all this problem.
“what’s going on, I don’t bite” he said calmly
he tried shifting closer to me again but this time I totally stood up from the chair, and he also stood up the same time walking to me
“look Anna, I know you wouldn’t want to interact with me, but just try giving me your time a little”he pleaded.
I sat back on the chair and he also followed suite, but I shifted immediately when I discovered we were too close, though he didn’t complain this time
“how did you know am here” I asked
“well I have my ways” he replied
I eyed him, and he gave a smile in return
“Nothing seems so funny here, so just say what you want to say and cut the cra-p” I said aggressively
jeez!! I can’t believe am taking to a whole Nelson people are dying to speak to, is the one am speaking aggressively with
“you are Anna, you are really funny” he said angering me up
“look Nelson, just leave and stay away from me totally, I don’t want anything to do with you, even a simple conversation, I have had enough of you and most especially your lunatic girlfriend” I snapped at him
” Annabelle right?” he asked wi-de eydedly, I didn’t give him any answer, I just found myself eying him badly in return
he just Chuckled
“see,you don’t have to be scared of Natasha, she can possibly do you no harm, all she gave was an empty threat” he said as-suring me
” I never said I was scared if her, and again, I think you un-derestimate your girlfriend” I said with sarcasm
he chuckled in return
” ex-girl friend you should say, and did she do anything to you ap@rt from what she did to you yesterday?” he asked
” look Nelson, just forget, and again, you shouldn’t had broken up with her, now she might think am the reason, and I don’t want any trouble with anyone” I said truthfully
he sighed
” Anna, you won’t un-derstand, our relationsh!pwasn’t standing anymore, so I just had to break it up with her,that’s why I thought that moment of her lunatic displ@ywould be best for it” he said calmly coldly
” but you shouldn’t have done it that way, now see what it turned to, she might think I triggered you to break up with her, that’s just how girls are” I said painfully
” look, its okay Anna,let’s just totally forget about that and face what am here for” he said with seriousness this time
” why are you here?” I asked calmly
“well,I really really want to thank you for returning my wrist watch, you had no idea of what it meant to me, I was alre-ady loosing hope of finding it alre-ady, but it seems God knows what I was going throu-gh, that’s why he s£nt you, to return it to me, ignoring the fact that we’ve not been in good terms since you c@m£ to this school, seriously Anna you won’t know how greatful I am” he said calmly with truth in his voice
” hmmmmmmm ” I said out loud since I don’t know what reply to give him
” I know you might say it’s just an ordinary wrist way, that I can probably afford a new one, but it was given to me by my mum, before she,,,,,,,,uhum nevermind” he said painfully, what could he be trying to hide?
” nevermind what?” I asked anxiously
“just forget Anna” he said rudely .
” uhum okay” I said painfully also remembering my phone, my countenance suddenly changed
“and also Anna, am really sorry about your phone” he said angering me up
” well you can say sorry, but your sorry can never bring it back” I said angrily
” hey calm down” he said trying to t©uçh me but I shifted almost immediately. he let out ..
“don’t just tell me to calm down, cause that’s what you always love saying, infact leave, just leave here, I Know this isn’t my place, but just leave to somewhere else probably to your lunatic girlfriend” I said, pain and anger obviously visible in my voice..
” hey, just let me finish and I promise, I would leave” he said quic-kly
” well I know how you felt yesterday when Natasha smashed your phone, and also you cried which made me feel really at fault
I also know you might had regretted helping me.
but again thanks for it all.
And I also thought if you wanted to repair the phone, it wouldn’t be as it was before, and clearly as I saw, it seemed to be a new phone you had there,, that’s why I bought you this” he said stretching a white leather package to me
” what’s in the leather” I asked
“just take it, and check it” he said letting out a faint smile
I collected the leather, looking into it, I could clear see a br@nd new phone,and looking at the carton it seems to be exactly the one I had, I opened the carton packaging and wow!! it was the same color as my former phone, I didn’t even noticed that I was smiling visible to him
“well I know girls like you wouldn’t want to accept it, so I didn’t bother to buy a bigger one, do I bought you exactly the same phone” he said smiling
” well, thanks slot, am really sorry happy, but the thing is that I cant,……………” I was trying to make a statement but he cut me off Immediately
“look Anna, don’t just tell me you cant accept it, it was all my fault so am giving you this to free my guilt, so plea-se you just have to accept this” he said pleadingly
” you are right but …… ” he cut me in again
” look Anna, st©p the buts and let’s just settle this case once and for all, you must accept this phone, look at it, it’s just like the former one, no difference. and again Anna if you are thinking of repairing that phone, I bet you it wouldn’t be working s-en-sibly anymore, if you are doubting me, bring it to me, I will work it out just to prove it so just a accept this” he pleaded

😊 Annabelle’s pov 💮
“Anna plea-se you just have to accept this” Nelson pleaded again
” uhum……, okay, thanks alot Nelson, I really really appreciate,. I never thought this will come from you, like seriously I never expected this from you, I just can’t….. well I just wanna say a big thank you, I accept it” I said sincerely smiling at him, he smiled back at me, and I must admit he looks so so more cute when smiling..
He sat back moving close to me, this time I didn’t bother to move, but I also minded the gap
“yeah, I know Anna, I know you wouldn’t expect this from me, regarding the way I behaved, acted and also spoke to you.
But looking at you now, am clearly sure I misjudged you on another p@rt, and I must say,am of full remorse for all what I’ve said right from the first time I’ve known you”he said surprising me to the bones
Wait is this Nelson?, or better still he should be high on something, but he doesn’t look like a person who could possibly be high,could he really mean what he is saying?
But looking at his eyes I see truth in what he is saying which is really surprising me
“the walking lesson” I said unconsciously still remembering all what he have said to me right from grade 6 right to grade 8 now. oops!!, shouldn’t have said that
“jeeez!! Anna you still remember that, but I thought I just apologised just now, not long ago” he said in a funny way
” yeah yeah I shouldn’t have said that, but you didn’t apologise, you just said you were full of remorse which to me isn’t an apology” I said
” okay, okay, fine fine fine, am really really sorry” he said reluctantly
” you see, wasn’t that easy?” I said and he chuckled in return
he just loves chuckling alot
jeeez!!, but is it that ha-rd for him to say just an ordinary apology, gosh this rich kids are something else
But seriously I can’t believe am talking to the same Nelson this way, the same guy girls always die to speak to, the same guy girls apply heavy make up to get noticed by, the same guy girls go hoverboard for
jeez!! Natasha, thanks for smashing my phone
“whatever, is my apology accepted” he asked pouting his face, I couldn’t hold in the laughter anymore, he just stared at me awkwardly
“what?” I asked
“uhum, nothing, just that you’re really funny when laughing” he said and I rolled my eyes at him
” I will take that as a compliment” I said and he smiled
“so is my apology accepted? ” he asked again
” yeah yeah” I said
” wow!!, thanks, okay, friends??” he asked, stretching his hands for a hand shake..
I rejected it and he withdraw his hands still smiling
“not now, request still pending” I said standing up, and he laughed again
jeeez!!, why he just quit laughing for once?, but though he really looks cute while doing that
I walked away from him out of the garden and he just kept laughing behind me. Pitts!!! 🤦
he is even worst than Eva.
I put the phone package into my bag, to avoid people like Natasha from seeing it, cause clearly visible throu-gh the leather, one would immediately know it’s a phone
And to Nelson, thank you so so so much, I never expected this from you at all, so there is still a good p@rt of him, hmmm, so mum is right, do not judge people by their actions towards you, there must be a reason, but though he was hiding something which I have no idea of, hmmm.. I just hate when people keep me in such suspense

😂 Nelson’s pov 💝
wow!!, it’s been quite a long and eventful day, judging from yesterday till now.
like seriously I never thought Natasha could be that crazy and heartless to that extent. jeez!!, what a human is she.
Hmm… but I really thank God am free from that bondage I once called a relationsh!p, but to say something, I think I was dreaming, from the time I asked her out, throu-gh out the time we were d@t!ngup till the moment I broke up with her.
jeez!!, people like her are just so unpredictable.
she was nothing but a flir-t and who-re during our relationsh!pbut I thank God am free now
But also to admit, I think this garden is a nice perfect place to be in, at this time, cause I haven’t left since Anna left me behind
Feeling the cool lovely breeze, watching all the cute flowing fountains, and also perceiving the cute perfect saints of those flowers is just so thri-lling and also enticing
But seriously I was really surprised and plea-sed at myself when talking with Anna, but the surprising p@rt was that, I would had gotten angry those times I and Natasha were d@t!ng, if she had talked to me the way Anna did, but I don’t see myself getting angry at Anna’s words, rather I found myself laughing and chuckling.
But it’s really fun to be with someone like her, her smiles are so breathtaking and her dimples are so so cute
seriously I think I should be closer to her, cause being with someone like her, won’t withdraw a smile from one’s face
I just thank God she accepted the phone, cause my mind was really opposing me that she wouldn’t accept, cause if she didn’t accept that phone, the guilt will still be burning at a high range in me. But I was even thinking of a buying her a better phone than the one she had cause that one she had was quite an old version, but something kept on telling me she wouldn’t accept, thank God I listened to that voice, cause it obvious she wouldn’t had accepted
well whatever…………
ahhh!!, now I see why the girls really love coming to this place, it really looks like a love garden, Dave’s dad and mum really have taste, their is school is indeed one of the best.
I was still enjoying the beautiful company of the garden when the bell was rung, recess over, I guess, damn!!, this stupid bell always ruining someone’s mood and plea-sure

😶 Annabelle’s pov🌺
I walked into my clas-s straight to my seat in preparation for chemistry clas-s, cause that man don’t take nons-en-se, lolz, thinking about that I just can’t forget the day he was planning to embarras-s me with one stupid equation, but rather, he failed, since that time , he doesn’t ask me any questions again… oops!! good for him
But I noticed people were staring at me more weirdly this time, mtcheeew, they just can’t quit staring, they are really good at it
Arriving my seat, I couldn’t find my chair anymore, it was just my desk standing alone, jeez!!, am I blind or what, who could had carried my chair?, or did it grow legs?.
I immediately started searching for it, everyone was staring, no one even cared to help, and they know it’s chemistry clas-s we are up for next, I’ve searched the whole clas-s and still couldn’t find it, still thinking of where to find my seat, the useless damn bell rang. jeez, I don’t want to be s£nt out of the clas-s, and Eva doesn’t attend chemistry clas-s, if not I could have paired with her, oh God help me!!
I was still trying to sort myself out, since nob©dy will want to pair, when suddenly some one called me, it seems she had been watching me since I arrived clas-s , I quic-kly walk to her, wow!! she seems to be Jenny the school newbie not long ago
“hey you seemed to be stranded” she said in a low voice
” yes”I replied her immediately
” I think you don’t have a seat to sit on, do you can pair with me for the main time, before the chemistry teacher probably walks in ” she said rushing her words
” Thank y……….. ” I couldn’t even finish my statement when the chemistry teacher walked in
I quic-kly sat beside Jenny who shifted for me immediately
“Thank you” I whispered to her
and she smiled and nodded in return
