🙍 Jenny’s pov continues 💕
As Dave’s eyes met hers, his mood switch from 100 to 0.001.
But why?? it’s just Anna and Eva , so I don’t see any reason for his sudden change of countenance, wow!!, this is really serious, I ha-rd ly see Dave looking this way, there is really something going on here ….. I think I should just watch as the drama unfolds.
“And also, hi Jenny, didn’t notice it was you” Anna said
“hi” I replied
“well Dave, bye, I think I should get going now, just wanted to say hi, since it’s been long we’ve seen, probably we will see later” Anna said preparing to walk away with Eva.
” no Anna, plea-se wait we have to discuss somethings” Dave said st©pping her
really!!, discuss?, are they that close?, hmm let me just keep on watching the show.
“That will be later, I nee-d to get going now, Eva nee-ds my attention, and you guys seems busy here” she said and Eva nodded.
” no Anna, don’t get things twisted, we aren’t busy or are we? ” he asked probably referring to me with a kinda worried look, but why? am really lost here.
I looked at him, and nodded negativity in response to his question
“Twisted?, why would I wanna twist it all, there is nothing to be angry about here, or do I look like I am?, why should I even be? ” she asked
” no, bu… but” Dave shuttered
“bye Dave, will talk later” she said then smiled and walked away with Eva
” jeez!!” Dave exclaimed sighing angrily as soon as she left. why??..
“Dave, anything the problem??” I asked in a caring calm way
“No” he replied in a rude way I must say and that really hurt me, but I just held it in, but wasn’t it the same Dave talking to me in a calm way not so long ago??
so why the sudden change?
hmm….., am really lost here
“But Dave, you don’t look okay, do you nee-d anything or can I help in any way” I asked still calm upon his reply to me
” nothing Jenny, or are you deaf or something” he said in a more rude way, his voice high now, I even shook with the rate he shouted
“but Dave, I.. I… I don’t really. u. un. un-der. un-derstand you.. what’s … going on? ” I asked trying not to make my voice shaky
“I don’t nee-d you to un-derstand,I don’t nee-d your help,and also I don’t want to see you anywhere close to me around me, you’ve crossed your boundary, I should have known you spelt trouble right from the beginning, I should have known you were of no good at all, I shouldn’t have gone close to you, now just leave, and also if we accidentally meet, just try, try your possible best to avoid me, try all your inner ability, now just leave” he said in a calm voice but he sounded quite annoyed
“But Dave I don’t un-derstand you at all, what have I done, did I offend you or something, Dave I don’t un-derstand, am lost” I said, my voice cracking this time
” I don’t know just leave” he said with no guilt
“Dave plea-se.. I” I tried pleading but he cut me in
“just leave, simple English leave” he said
“Dave” I called
“I said leave” he shouted this time and unconsciously the tears I’ve been holding in dropped down unintentionally
I bended my head down to avoid people seeing me crying walk away from him Immediately
What did I do??
why did he shout on me that way??
why the sudden dislike??
I thought he was the same person talking to me with all pas-sion and friendliness before Anna c@m£, or is there anything going on between them? or maybe he likes Anna
Cause clearly he seems to like her judging from his reaction and even from what he said and the way he talked when she saw us hvgging, shows that he really has a spark for her, but I meant no harm at all, it’s just a harmless hvg just like the way it do hvg my brothers if it calls for, what so special about stealing a hvg from him?
All together I shouldn’t had hvg him, I just couldn’t control my excitement and see where it stupidity has lead me to, just like it always does. oh God!!, why??
I wiped off the tears pouring out with my palm to avoid disgracing my self, I should had just thank him and leave maybe by that we would still be friends and he will be his normal self, the way he has been to me🤦
Dave suddenly hate me now, I don’t know why his shout even has this kind of effect on me, normally my mum shouts on me, but I don’t think I ever cried
But Dave made me cry this way,, jeez!!, what did I do, I guess probably he is really the arrogant type according to what people had said
And he said I should stay away from him, tell me, how is that gonna be possible for the fact that i like him, hmmmmmmm.. I will try my possible best to do so , my whole possible best, I quic-kly wiped the tears trying to fall of my eyes, I took my hanky and wiped my face completely
I think I’ve lost my appetite, am not going to the cafeteria, there would be no nee-d for that anymore, I will just go to the clas-s and wait for the next lesson, yes!! I think that’s the best
.
.
🐾 Dave’s pov 🌼
Damn!;,what would Anna think now, what will she say now??
Am sure she would think I and Jenny are having something together, yes!.. I know girls of such her mentality.
But I don’t think she would, why would she?? it’s just a harmless hvg” my subconsciousness snapped at me
No no, no, but the way she spoke, it seems she thinks something is going on between I and Jenny
That Jenny, crazy bit-ch!!, she just can’t control her stupid, in fact in contrary I hate her type
or maybe she knows I like Anna, and might want to spill things down for me
“no no, I don’t think she could do such kind of thing” my subconsciousness battled with me
But what Jenny did was no big deal. ..
no, it’s really a big deal I kinda thank God I shouted on her that way, at least that will put her in her lane to mind her business and how to behave normally
“but she cried” my subconsciousness argued
who cares, people like her are one of the best and most perfect in the act of forming crocodile tears , so her stupid tears can never t©uçh me….
jeez, see what that useless Jenny has caused, am actually talking to myself hmm.
Now I will have to find Anna to know if she haven’t misun-derstood what she saw.
I think is high time I tell her my feelings, then we can start d@t!ngif she fortunately agrees, do things like this wouldn’t occur again
First I nee-d to see her immediately, am sure they headed to the cafeteria and I wouldn’t like to go there so as not to create a scene
I think I will just wait for her here, I just pray they don’t take another route, then we can talk so I can also know her point of view
I just pray she complies

Episode 44
💖 Annabelle’s pov 🌼

wow!!, never really thought Dave and Jenny are that close , i thought he don’t interact with her type, hmm, beside that, they are really a perfect match, seeing them together from afar, you gonna get what am saying.
But I wondered why he kinda look worried or should I even say guilty when we met somewhile ago, even from the way he spoke …… well, whatever maybe his own personal problem, everyone has his or her problem.
I and Eva had settled down for our lunch, Eva paid for my milk shake, and also paid for some fries and soda for herself, am really happy Eva f0rç£d me here today, cause this milkshake product is one of the best I’ve tasted before , lol…. I would had Missed out…
“Anna, don’t you think Dave likes you or something?” Eva asked breaking down the silence
lol funny Eva…..
“Me??, I don’t get you” i said
“don’t claim ignorance here, can’t you see, didn’t you see his reaction, he looked like someone who was caught cheating by his girlfriend” Anna said and I bur-sted into laughter immediately… hmm… indeed
Eva stared at me weirdly
“Eva, st©p saying what you don’t know or have any idea of” I said still trying to hold in my laughter
” Anna, I Know what am saying Dave likes you, if possible feels more for you, you are really so lucky to have two rich cute guys chasing after you, girls go extra limit for that” Eva said
” omg!!, Eva you are really so funny, just st©p thinking towards that direction, and also before we round up this talk, I will like to know who this second guy is” I said
” Nelson of course, you suppose to Know that alre-ady, I’ve been telling you about that for a little long now” she said
” jeez Eva, just try not to go to the Nelson p@rt, am not even sure if Dave truly likes me as friend let’s come to speak less of Nelson, just st©p deceiving me in all, am the type of girl no guy will ever want to relate with cause of her clumsy crazy attitude” I said sadly
” no Anna don’t say that, you just don’t want to believe me, am kinda sure Dave quite likes you, don’t omit or forget that am studying human feelings and behavior so I really know what’s going on, how would I want to deceive you with such kind of thing, common Anna cheer up”Eva said placing her hands on my shoulder..
I nodded positively at her, and she smiled back in return
“hmm Eva, I think that’s enough for today, common let’s go we’ve done enough for today ” I said standing up preparing to live people just couldn’t st©p staring, hmm, Clark’s high students can. Never just quit staring even for once.
“look Anna, I Know what am saying, you just like escaping the truth stuff, a normal girl would be blus-h at being told that, and you are right there trying to avoid the truth”Eva said
” Eva let’s go” I reminded her
” okay fine lead the way” she said standing up following behind of me as we walked back the same way we actually c@m£
we walked gisting and laughing at unnecessary things on the way , until we got to the place we met Dave and Jenny sometime ago, Jenny isn’t there anymore except Dave who is leaning on the pillar studying the environment looking really lost
We decided to pas-s him by, until I heard my name, his voice of course
Eva stared at me awkwardly, but I told her to go with me, she nodded and we both walked to Dave
we got there staring at each other, nob©dy wanting to say anything until Dave spoke up
“uhum… Anna we really nee-d to talk, like I have something important to let you Know about” Dave said nervously
” alright, I think I should excuse you guys, Eva said staring at me, I stared back at her using eye contact to tell her not to leave but she rolled her eyes at me and walked away, to where I have no Idea of
“ermm…. Anna like I said we nee-d to talk” he said nervously, but why being nervous?!, or is what Eva said true??
no, never.
“no problem Dave, you can go on with that am all ears”I said trying my possible best to give a smile at least to re-lease this awkward tension, the Dave I know isn’t like this, but gratefully, the smile I gave kinda worked cause Dave gave this kind of smile I don’t un-derstand, Even though it wasn’t genuine still better than none
“well, Anna I just want to tell you not to misun-derstand what you saw a while ago ” he said worriedly
” I don’t get you Dave, what are you talking about?? ” I said in order not to seem to straight forward
“alright about I and Jenny in contact” he said surprising me, wait how does that suppose to be my business, am I his girlfriend or something
jeez… so funny
“ oh that? I don’t get you, why would you apologizing about that , is there a problem about that??” I asked to clear my confusion
” no, no problem, the thing is that you kinda seemed upset” he said
“oh that, no, I wasn’t upset at all, I was just kind of stressed up then, nothing more to it” I said do he wouldn’t think if thinking I was jealous f seeing him with Jenny guys are to straight forward in that aspect
“ really?, am so happy to hear that” he said smiling genuinely, awwwwn…. that smile, his smile is just so cute
“that’s okay” I said returning the smile
.
“well Anna, it’s been long we hung around, so I am thinking if we could go out together” he asked nervously
” out??, that will be tomorrow cause I just walked out of the cafeteria not too long ago, and it will be awkward for me to walk in again, and besides, I wouldn’t want to over feed myself” I explained
“ no Anna, I don’t mean the school cafeteria or anywhere in the school, I mean somewhere else, not in the school a special place cool and calm and also free from noise” he said
hmm……….. this is really complicated now, I that mum don’t normally allow to go out anyhow, she ha-rd ly even permits me to go to Eva’s house which she clearly knows is a girl, talkless of me opening my mouth telling her, am going on an outing with a guy, no… don’t think that can be possible
“uhum.. am sorry Dave, I wouldn’t be able to go out with you” I said
” okay, I know you wouldn’t want to go today cause am just asking you today, I don’t mind if you accept it to be tomorrow or next tomorrow, I would be re-ady” he said
“Dave , I wouldn’t want to waste your time, I think I should just tell you straight forward, I don’t think that can be possible, you know I’ve told you about my mum, and also my dad and his strictness , that alone discourages me from leaving the house as I plea-se” I said
“oh!” he said with one kind of disappointed look
“am really sorry Dave, I would had love to come with you,” I said
” no problem I guess we can hook up ath the cafeteria or anywhere you find interest in any time you are free” he said
” alright, thanks for un-derstanding, bye for now” I said
” no problem, bye” he said and with that I walked straight to my clas-s since I had no idea of where Eva could be now, and am pretty sure she wouldn’t be in her clas-s cause she headed another direction totally
But today, break seems kinda longer, cause it isn’t over yet, wow!!, yes that’s how I love it to be , how I just wish I could be like this everyday.
walking into the clas-s, I met no one, as in nob©dy was in the clas-s, jeez!!, really really unusual, I just hope this is not a set up. I nee-d to be careful here, let me just face my very own business, in case of any problem
Just sitting, I heard the voice, l never want to hear anytime from now after going throu-gh all those problem because of him.
“hey pretty, you think you can hide from me”he said walking to me sitting on my desk putting his legs on the space of the chair I was sitting on, jeez 🙎 what nons-en-se
without saying anything, I stood up quic-kly walking away from the clas-s
“common Anna, you should know that’s not the right thing to do cause I will surely follow you around until you give me your ears just for once” he said and with that I walked back to my seat, cause I wouldn’t want him following me around cause am sure he can do more than that, and again, I wouldn’t want more troubles……….

🌺 Annabelle’s pov continues 💕🌺
I walked back to my seat to avoid any further problem, cause the Nelson I’ve know for this little while can more than following me about. I’ve alre-ady had enough because of him, so what does he wants now
I reached my seat staring at his legs on my chair placed comfortably, mtcheeew this Nelson guy is really really crazy
I kept on staring until he noticed
“oh” he said as he finally took his legs off my seat
I wiped my chair before sitting on it and he chuckled in a funny annoying way,gosh he is back with his annoying chuckling, jeez!, that really annoys me
“Anna like I said before, you are just too funny” he said annoying me the more
” look Nelson, if you don’t have anything meaningful to say you can do me a great favour by leaving, plea-se I wouldn’t eant anymore troubles in addition to the ones am alre-ady surrounded with” I said
” woah!!, Anna don’t tell me you are afraid of me, cause I don’t un-derstand what you are trying to say, have I caused any problem for you before,, or aren’t I human like you, why would I want to bring trouble or problem to you just by my arrival, jeez Anna!!, I won’t st©p saying these, you are really funny” he said annoyingly
” I see you got nothing to say, if you have nothing important to say, just leave or I might end up leaving here for you”I said
” you know I will follow you right? ” he said sm-irking, oh God why now
” only a jobless person would do so”I said standing up annoyed
” and I will show you I can be jobless, just because of your n@ûghty type of behavior”he said dropping his stupid legs on my chair since I just stood up.
i looked at him eyeing him severely, he just chuckled and balanced himself more annoying crazily
“Nelson plea-se just leave” I managed to beg him to avoid any problem
“oh so ……………………………………………..”
he was still talking when people started trooping in, in twos and in threes , jeez, is this a set up or something, cause this is what I was avoiding, people seeing me with Nelson, and I begged him, how I just wished he listened to me once, now it just c@m£ to pas-s.
I just stared speechlessly at the scene, Nelson don’t even seemed moved or worried about what’s going on or maybe he isn’t seeing
“jeez, isn’t this Nelson” a voice said
“talking with Anna ” another voice said
“jeez!, unbelievable, what’s going on, this is really mysterious”another voice said
” mysterious you say, it’s unfair, really unfair” a voice said
“yes I agree with you, it’s unfair, you don’t know how much I go throu-gh just for Nelson to notice me, and look he is here talking with this useless freak”the first voice said
” he must had been Bewitched ” another voice said
” yes u re right, Natasha must hear of this, before her b©yfri£ndis snatched from her”the first voice Said
Did I just hear Natasha? omg!!, that must not happen, I don’t want more troubles In addition to the ones am alre-ady Into
“Nelson, see what you’ve caused alre-ady, you could had just gone the first time I told you to,now look, people have seen us together” I said worriedly
People still kept on gossiping un-derneath but clearly to my hearing, all I kept on hearing was Bewitched, Natasha, Bewitched, Natasha e. t. c.
“seriously Anna, I don’t get what you are saying, is there anything bad in seeing both of us together?, after all they wouldn’t say this is their first time of seeing a boy and a girl chatting alone together” Nelson said
” Nelson you wouldn’t un-derstand, so place just leave, at least go to your clas-s, garden, cafeteria or somewhere else just let me be for now if possible” I said
” Anna”he called
” plea-se Nelson” I pleaded
” alright fine, am gone, just know I will still be back, probably when everyone is gone, cause it seems you’re shy of being seen with a guy, bye'” he said giving his usual cute annoying smile, all eyes were still on us, surprised I will say.
“fine am really gone now” he said standing up walking away, like I said this seems more of a set up for me cause as soon as Nelson left, the bell for break over was rung
I really felt uncomfortable on my seat cause of the different stares I got, and also the un-derground whispering and insults I got, jeez, Nelson what have you done.
still battling with the clas-s problem, Jenny walked in, I might not have told Jenny and I have been quite close since that incident of my chair missing
she just walked in looking really sad, what could have gone wrong, and now I can’t go and ask her cause of the killing stares am still getting
.

💮💮 Nelson’s pov 🧡
what’s wrong with Annabelle, she don’t seem to be at peace with me at all. it’s like she just want to be away from me or something, like she despise me or more, I really hate it when the people I wanna be close with seems to wanna start ignoring me, while the ones I don’t seem to find any interest in are the ones flocking around me , I don really know why.
Am just trying to cover up Anna’s rejection with my normal fake smile, I don’t even think I’ve ever smiled genuinely since mum fell into that de-ep sleep, it pains me alot to know that mum is still alive and can’t talk to me, I just can’t take it 😔
And again, Anna on the other hand is ma-king me feel really bad, she just wants to be away from her, which I don’t even know why she would want that
But unlike her, I do want to be close to her in I do feel another bond I’ve only felt with mum, not even Natasha made me feel that way, don’t misun-derstand me yet, I didn’t say I feel anything for Anna, just the fact that….. jeez….. I don’t even un-derstand. But whether she likes it or not, we must be close
.
.
⚡ Natasha’s pov 🌻
“what” I exclaimed at what Samantha just told me
“yes am serious, there was different eye witnesses who could testify to that, Nelson and Anna we’re chatting in the clas-s were chatting like love birds, people even said Anna Bewitched him, and was flir-ting with him right in the clas-s” Samantha said vexing me up the more
jeez!!, damn!, it seems that Anna wants it the ha-rd way, I warned her, but it seems she thinks I give empty threat , I bet her she would get what she wants, and she wouldn’t know what’s coming her way
bit-ch!!
.
.
❄️ Annabelle’s pov 🌼
closing hour, yipee!!, at least I can go home now now and be free from all these stupid stares
I hung my bag properly walking out of the clas-s when three angry people barged into the clas-s, jeez what’s going on, hope am safe
I examined their faces properly and I immediately noticed, it was Natasha and her crew , Samantha and Christine an jeez!!, I hope am safe, cause they really look angry, especially Natasha,or maybe they’ve heard, no probably not, cause it just happened few hours ago, and it was just in this clas-s so it couldn’t had probably circulated the school
And right now this three girls are blocking my way, and I nee-d to be home now
“excuse me, plea-se I wanna take my leave” I said
” oh you want to leave freely after crossing your boundaries right,” Natasha said blocking my way fully
” what boundaries, plea-se I don’t get you, I nee-d to leave now” I said and before I Knew it a heavy sl@p landed on my cheeks
what!!??
