🍇🍇 Annabelle’s pov 🎀🎀
Still on the same position, sobbing my eyes out in shame of the disgrace I just encountered a while, I heard foot steps advance towards me, but I gave no attention to that, rather, my face was still down covered with both of my palm, crying my anger out, until I heard a familiar voice.
“ Anna, what’s wrong? ” the voice asked, but I didn’t even bother looking up at the person.
“ Anna ” the person called again, but this time, he or she squat down to me tapping me on my shoulder, still I gave no response
“ Anna plea-se talk to me, what’s going on? ” the voice asked again and this time I looked up at the person and it was Nelson, God!!, what’s he doing here, I rolled my eyes at him, upon the tears in my eyes
“ Anna, Don’t try to prove stubborn, you are crying and you are still trying to prove lodger heads with me, common open up to me, I won’t harm you” Nelson said calmly
“ nothing Nelson, just leave plea-se, why aren’t you in clas-s, you suppose to be in clas-s now I guess” I said
“just don’t feel like, actually I should be the one asking you that, I actually know you as one type of clas-s freak always obsessed with clas-s lessons, I don’t expect to see you out by this time, especially in such an area as this” Nelson said
“ nothing, and again the teacher who supposes to take us on biology lesson, Is actually abs£nt from school today, so I just decided to hangout here” I said
“ lies Anna, I know your type, you don’t normally stay in places like this,you might not know, this is a lonely area normally dominated by bad guys, you know, you shouldn’t be here, you might even get harmed” he said
“ aren’t you here? ” I asked
“ am a guy Anna, I know how to sort my self out, nothing can happen toe Hun?, you shouldn’t just be coming here okay? ” he said but I gave no reply rather I just stared into empty space
“ Anna, what’s the problem, something is definitely wrong, talk to me plea-se” he pleaded but still I gave no reply
“ Anna, just talk to me, I know we are still in the midst of lot of differences, plea-se, if that’s what you are looking at, just put that aside and talk to me, see as your sibling or someone closer now” he said
“ nothing Nelson” I said
“ Anna plea-se” he pleaded
“ uhum.. I….. I.. ” I shuttered
“plea-se just talk to me” he said
“ermm… uhum, I…. I don’t know” I said
“ common Anna, are you afraid to talk to me” he said
“ no am not, alright fine I would tell you” I said and he nodded with a smile, and I told him all that happened, he just stared at me awkwardly then stood up and suddenly started laughing awkwardly at me.
I bendy head low to avoid crying
“ wait Anna, is that why you are crying” he asked trying to suppress his laughter , I didn’t reply him, rather I faced down sobbing quietly
“ Anna, are you crying” he asked bending down to me again but I still didn’t reply him
“ Anna common don’t cry, this is nothing to cry about” he said
“ why won’t I cry, I knew you would laugh it out as usual, cause you are not in my shoes and definitely don’t know how I feel, how am I gonna go home like this and also we still have like 3-4 hours to spend in school, I will I hope with this” I said
“ common Anna, anything wherever Nelson is will surely have a solution, so just wipe your tears” he said
“ what solution?, when yours is just to laugh and mock at someone in a serious situation such as mine” I said
“hmmm, you are doubting me right? ” he asked
“ what solution do you have, to laugh? ” I asked sarcastically and this time he looked quite serious
“ alright Anna, take this” he said removing his jacket stretching it to me, leaving him with just a sweat t©p, I collected it from him
“ what am I going to use this for ” I asked
“ common, don’t be dumb, tie it around your w@!st, am sure it will cover the place your Sk-irt was torn. Am sure all this is a set up, and whosoever did this really stooped too low to do such” he said
“uhum…. thanks Nelson, I really appreciate, you don’t know how much favour you’ve done for me” I said
“ no problem Anna, anything for you, you just have to go now so you won’t miss any clas-s hun” he said standing up, I also followed suit tieing the jacket round my w@!st
“ uhum…. how did you know am even here” I asked and he smiled before replying me
“ that’s nothing to worry about, the fact is that everything is covered alre-ady, now run along, you might not know you might be having a clas-s” he said , mtcheeew… why won’t I not know
“ thanks Nelson” I said he smiled in response and with that I walked away Immediately.
Thanks Nelson, you are really more lovely than I thought, you really saved me today even though I’ve alre-ady been disgraced in my clas-s

💄 Natasha’s pov ⚡🎗️
he!! ha!! ha!!, I guess that Anna really got what she wanted, I just hope my plan works out perfectly, it will surely, or it even has cause I saw her running along sometime ago and I could tell she was crying
Pitts!!, pathetic bit-ch!!
what she got was just a ti-p of the iceberg
still staying on the same sp©t, my usual position, I saw the bit-ch pas-sing by, I was about to bur-st into mockery laughter, but paused when I saw her with a jacket tied round her w@!st, wait!!?, isn’t that Nelson’s jacket?, no it can’t be.
I looked more closely and it looked exactly like his, no no not, it must not be
Maybe it’s hers, no she can’t probably in her life time afford such jacket and it’s also not a female type , or maybe someone else gave it to her, no, clearly Nelson gave it to her, cause so far so clear, I’ve only seen him in that jacket, but why would he give her that, trou-gh out those times we we’re d@t!nghe never gave me his jacket, gosh I hate this Anna more, jeez!! Nelson totally destroy my plan today
I quic-kly rushed to her, blocking her way, jeez!!,, the most painful p@rt is that Samantha and Christine aren’t here to as-sist me today, whatever, I guess I will handle her my self
“ hey, where do you think you are going to with that jacket” I said immediately I got to her
“am sorry, but am sorry, you shouldn’t be asking me questions on what’s not yours” she said
wow!! so this girl still got the guts upon what happened to her today
“ it’s for Nelson right!, then it’s mine, give it here or else I will str!p you off it” I said angrily
” you have no right to do such, he gave it to me, why would I want to give it to you, and besides I don’t remember you bearing or being Nelson to tell me this is yours, look Natasha, am in no nee-d for problems this moment just let me be” she said
“ sorry but am in the mood o said walking to her to str!p her off the jacket she kept on moving back until unfortunately Dave interfered from nowhere, she quic-kly took hold of that opportunity and rushed of
“ jeez!! Dave, what the heck!!? ” I yelled
chapter 49
💄⚡ Natasha’s pov 🎗️
“ jeez!! Dave, what the heck” I yelled
“ I should actually be the one asking you that, why are you so so determined on oppressing such an innocent person, what has she done to you, why can’t you just st©p being so pathetic and accept your faith and loss” he said with a sm-irk on his face
“ If I should check, i do believe that’s none of your business, and besides what do you mean by i should just accept my faith? ” I asked surprisingly, he just chuckled in a mocking way before replying me
“ You know you can’t hide forever right?, leave Nelson alone he don’t want you again, such a slut like you, am glad his eyes is open now, I couldn’t imagine him still being in that bondage of yours, you are really loosed, you should be really ashamed of yourself, don’t worry, there is no nee-d for you to speak, I won’t expo-se to the school that you and Nelson are no more, it will really be a big shame to you, right?, they will surely find out themselves not from me
And oh!!, let Anna be, I repeat let Anna be
I got something way more important than standing here, talking to you” he said and without even letting me talk, he walked away
jeez!!, damn!!, why??!, why Dave, why would he know about this for Christ sake
I really hate Dave, he is just a type who talks and end up weighing down with his words, he just did that now, common how the hell did he know??
well, whatever, that’s for him, I just thank God nob©dy yet ap@rt from him, Nelson and that stupid Anna, I just pray she keeps her mouth shut and learn to stay out of the way, away from Nelson, until this all is over, so things can be easy for me,
I don’t care about whatever Dave says, it can’t st©p from being beside my Nelson, as always like we’ve been meant to be, Anna can’t just from no where come to spoil it all for me.
she shouldn’t just calm down because Nelson as-sisted her with his jacket, I bet her more is still coming her way, more than what she just experienced not quite long ago.

🌠🌠 Dave’s pov 💐
Jeez!!, what happened to Anna, did I just see her with Nelson’s jacket, what’s up, she didn’t even let me talk, she just left immediately I arrived the scene
But what’s wrong??, what’s going on?, am totally lost, is Anna and Nelson close now??
No I don’t think so, cause recalling lately, when Anna and I bec@m£ friends, and I told Nelson about it, he was really really angry and in disapproval of it, so he couldn’t possibly be close to her in such way to even give her his jacket, cause the Nelson I know don’t relate with girls of her kind of status, talkless of she herself, the school freak…. and again besides, the Nelson I even know myself doesn’t give girls his wears, even when he was d@t!ngNatasha.
Yes, I think am right it cannot be possible, cause I won’t be happy with Nelson if such probably happens.
Jeeez!!, why am I thinking such way of Nelson, hmm.. . that is really stupid of me, really really stupid, to think about Nelson that way, my child hood friend for that matter, Pitts!!, stupid me.
I just pray to ask her out quic-kly as soon as possible, before she is taken by someone else
Still walking throu-gh the hallway, back to my clas-s in preparation for the next lesson, I suddenly almost bu-mped into someone or I should say she almost bu-mped into me.
Immediately our eyes met, she somehow shivered and her face suddenly turned pale, and she quic-kly and quietly walk away from me, in pain I should say…. it’s Jenny.
I don’t know, why do I feel like I’ve greatly offended her?,
my mind and all wanted to call her back but I was able to resist that intention
But why do I even feel like I’ve even offended her?, after all she was the one who just couldn’t hold in he sluty stupid behavior, hvgging someone I’m a stupid way, she should had minded her business in the first place and not even talk to me from the beginning, I bet I wouldn’t had hated her that much….

🌟🌟 Nelson’s pov 💝💝
I knew it, I knew it was gonna be Natasha, it would be no one but her.
it would be nob©dy but Natasha , who would had set that tra-p down for Anna, why can’t she just let Anna be and face me for Christ sake, after all I was the one who break up with her not Anna.
let she just let my Anna be, oops!!, did I just say my Anna?? no, that was a sl!pof ton-gue
Am even tired of confronting Natasha, cause the more I do so, the more she keeps on pestering Anna, now am feeling the pain Anna is feeling, I just don’t want her going though all those stress because of me, she actually cried today and that really t©uçhed me way de-ep inside, I feel really at fault even though I wasn’t the one in charge.
Why is Natasha just so pathetic?, I’ve told her I don’t want anything doing with her again, but it seems she is proving to be crazy
I just thank God, Anna didn’t know was Natasha’s doing, cause it seems she didn’t have that idea at all, if not she would had blame and casted me as usual, I just can’t afford the little friendsh!pbetween I and Anna, which I’ve been a little bit successful in building, break up just like that, that useless Tasha can’t just can’t spoil it all for me. …
I just have to be watchful these days of her movement towards Anna

🎠🍓 Annabelle’s pov 🌼🎀
Closing!!, thank God!!, I was able to complete my day in school today, even though it was a quite uncomfortable, Nelson’s jacket worked and helped alot.
But what’s Natasha’s problem, how did she even know it was Nelson’s, even though she knew it was his, does that now mean she can arrest me of such??
I just hate that bit-ch, she just like st©pping too low for her level, hmm …. school queen indeed!!
I know, I know it was her who was the architect of all what happened today, I just don’t want to blame it all on Nelson cause it doesn’t seem to be his fault, at all, it doesn’t.
And also, blaming it on him hasn’t brou-ght anything forth for me, it only seems to wors£n it up
Natasha can never give up on negative things, I just hate people like her, forcing themselves on guys who are not interested in them
quite loosed!!
I told Eva what happened and she just laughed it out like I expected, I don’t even know what Is funny about it that they are just laughing about it, and as usual she started preaching to me again of Nelson liking me, that he even gave me his jacket for such a long period
Pitts!!, not me.
Now I’ve just got home, my problem is to get in freely without mum noticing the jacket. Thank God stella didn’t notice, she ha-rd ly even notice such things
now I got to escape mum, I just pray she isn’t in the sitting room yet.
oh God, plea-se, plea-se
As Soon as I got in, my eyes met with that crazy brother of mine.
Thank God mum isn’t here, hallelujah, Stella rushed to hvg him, mtcheeew, I don’t even know what’s special about that, she later ran into our room cause she have been complaining of running stomach, Now it’s just left with me and Raymond.
We exchange ples£ntaries wnd I was about walking to my room when he spoke
“ Anna, who’s jacket is that? ” he asked
jeez!!
chapter 50
🍭🍬 Annabelle’s pov continues 🎀🎀
Jeez!!!
what do I tell him now, how did he even see it upon all the skills I tried using to cover it up, oh no
What would I tell him now, I actually thought he wouldn’t see it, when I was even happy that am free from Raymond and his problem
uhum….. I think I should prove stubborn
“ don’t even think of proving stubborn, cause I know you” he said as if he was re-ading my mind
“ that’s none of your business Nelson” I said
“ what??, did you just call me Nelson?,woww………. oh now I get, Nelson is your b©yfri£ndright? ” he said in an annoying way
oops!!!!, why did I make such mistake, jeez!!, am in trouble
“i didn’t say Nelson” I denied
“ Anna am not deaf, you said Nelson, I heard you loud and clear, common gist me about it, who is Nelson to you? ” he asked
“ no, no, no, no, he’s not my b©yfri£nd, he’s just a friend,,no, he is not even a friend to me, I just made that mistake of calling you his name, it was a mistake, people make mistake you know” I said angrily rushing my words
“ hey chill, I never said am gonna penalize you, nothing bad about that, am even sure he is the owner of that Jacket with you, I just hope he is cute for my cute Lil sis” he said…. what!!!
“ Raymond just st©p, plea-se” I pleaded
“ oh now, you are begging, I thought you were proving stubborn?, am not even saying anything and you are telling me to st©p, or am I?
common did I even say I was going to tell mum or dad?
But Anna, you really got the mind, coming home with someone’s jacket, not only someone jacket, a guy’s jacket, an expensive one as well, knowing who mum is, or would you want to tell me this belongs to a girl?? ” he asked with sarcasm
“Raymond, plea-se am in no mood for all these, am really really tired, and am also just coming from school I nee-d to go in and rest” I said at the verge of anger cause Raymond here is really pissing me up
“ oh yeah!!, you can go in, before mum comes in and see you with the jacket, you wouldn’t want to get into her trouble, though I know this is one of your plan to escape scolding as usual, I wonder why you are even tieing the jacket when you are alre-ady wearing a Sk-irt, well you can go in for now” he said and with that I hissed out loud and walked back straight to my room, and Raymond bur-sted into an annoying ugly song, I felt like sl@pping him from here, if he wasn’t my s£nior, I would had done that since, mtcheeew…. nons-en-se.
At least I was able to avoid mum, it’s really a great relieve on me today, I won’t even bother to put on Sk-irt tomorrow or anything flay, today was really embarras-sing and it thought me a great lesson, always look on your before sitting… lol
jeez!!, what’s smelling??, oh!! Stella in the toilet, eww!!, gross!!
.
NEXT DAY 🎀🎀🍓🌹🍓🍓🌹🌹🎀
.
in school today, it seems am late today cause the school seems to be quite full then it usually is when I arrive school, well, what else, it means am late, and it was all Stella’s fault, just too lazy to do things the proper and right way, and that stupid Raymond just keeps on supporting her on whatever she does
well, whatever, the deed has alre-ady been done….
oh, no!, no!, no, no no!!!, jeez!, why, I forgot Nelson’s jacket, I actually washed and ironed it yesterday, so I can return it to him today as early as possible, now look, I forgot it
now he will think am ungrateful or I don’t want to give him back cause it looks white expensive as Raymond said yesterday
jeez!!, what do I do now!?
……….
yeah, yeah!!, great idea, I will just avoid him.

LATE MORNING:
🍇🍇 Eva’s pov 🌼
Now that am actually having a free period, it feels kinda boring for me, cause almost all my friends are busy having lessons or doing something else, including Anna, if not I wouldn’t be here alone, now I just have to wait here for the next 30 minutes before my next clas-s.
I was still sitting alone busying my self with my phone, when I felt someone’s pres£nce close to me, I looked up from where I was sitting and behold it was Tyler, wow!! it’s been quite some ages now, it’s really been long I’ve seen him probably two to three weeks now, I wouldn’t wanna lie , I kinda miss him
“hey Eva” he greeted as usual, with a cute smile plastered on his face
“ hey, it’s really been quite a long time”, I said returning the smile back to him
“ yeah, you are right, sorry about that” he said sitting on the block close to me..
“ hope all is okay? ” I asked
“ yeah!!, all is, just this school project work we’ve been working on for quite some time now for prom night stuff, you know being a constructing student and all those stuff, is all stressful, actually, I was even in school, but totally in another dep@rtment, I was planning on telling you, but I had no free time of my own, though Nelson and Dave knew of it…., well all together am quite free now, even though we haven’t completed the project yet”
he said
“ awwwwn, am really sorry about that, it must had been quite stressful, but it’s p@rt of training you ahead” I said looking down
“yeah you are right” he replied
” but you talked about prom night” I said
“ yes prom night is coming In two weeks time, compulsory for all final year student, you know we would Soon be out of this school before the year ends” he said
“ wow, really? ” I asked
“yeah!!, all final student” he replied
“ woah!!, that’s really nice” I said
“ yeah you are right” he said and with that an awkward silence took over between both of us, I looked down nervously as I felt Tyler’s eyes on me, we remained in that position for some moment without talking, until I felt Tyler’s hands move my face to look at him
“ Eva, I wanna tell you something” he said calmly, quite nervous I may say.
“ uhum…. you can go ahead” I replied him
“well… I….. I …… the thing is that I…….. ” he was still trying to talk when we heard some noise advancing towards us,
They we’re two cheer leading girls in their outfit displa-ying for us, it was quite funny but nice
“ we are the cheer leaders of Clark’s high school, and we would nee-d donations from one of Clark’s high most riche-st and handsome guy, and also from his beautiful girl friend, for our pres£ntation for prom night!! ” they both said laughing excitedly
Tyler just smiled and brou-ght out some money handing it to them, while I just kept on laughing but also gave them some money
“thank you” they both said laughing moving away excitedly
And the silence between I and Tyler resumed again
Tyler looked at his watch and sighed out loud
“ well am having a clas-s very soon, I think I have to go now” he said standing up from where he sat and I followed suit also standing up
“erm…. but” I said
“ but what? ” he asked calmly
“ never mind, I think am also having a clas-s very soon” I said and we both walked and later dep@rted our different ways, but what did Tyler intended on telling me, it sounded quite important, well maybe next time, I must be sure to ask him
.

🍓🎀 Annabelle’s pov 🌼💎
woah!!, it’s been so great for me, especially the fact that I have been able to avoid Nelson and all other is really wonderful, I just have to keep on avoiding him till closing hours, but now that am hungry, I really nee-d to go get something from the school cafe. well, I can’t starve because of Nelson, and he would be walking freely, am sure he doesn’t normally goes to the school so cafeteria cause I ha-rd ly see him there except when he was with Natasha, and now that they are no longer together, what will he be doing there? I wonder why the school haven’t noticed yet
I quic-kly took my bag and lunch money to purchase some stuff to eat, as I was walking, I sighted Nelson coming to my direction, luckily enough for me, it seems he haven’t seen me yet, i quic-kly hid behind the pillar close to me and fortunately he didn’t see me, he just pas-sed by without looking back at me and as usual girls were busy admiring him and with that I was able to escape
phew!!!, that was close
I walked into the cafeteria and bought what I wanted, I didn’t stay to eat on the cafeteria table cause it was alre-ady pas-s break hours, so I just went to somewhere lonely, quiet and empty and focused on my food, it was just me and my snacks Alone, when I was done, I walked back quic-kly to clas-s in order not to miss any lesson
.
CLOSING HOURS
It’s closing hour alre-ady and I’ve been successful in hiding from and avoiding Nelson today
As usual am the only one left in clas-s, you Know being the school freak, no one wants to even as-sociate with me.
thank God today the stress of going to Stella’s school so we can go home together is subtracted from my list since today is Wednesday and they normally close early on Wednesday so she should even be home alre-ady
I was still parking my bag when someone walked in
oh Nelson!!, the person I was just avoiding, what will I say about his jacket now
I stared at him speechlessly and he stared back sm-irking at me as usual..
