🌼 Dave’s pov 💞
wow!!, am just more than happy now, to be sincere , being friend with Anna is so much fun, well she might act clumsy or weird to people, but she is quite a nice person to be with when you’re close to her
I walked into the clas-s, Tyler was alre-ady in his seat, earpiece plugged into his ears. A girl was talking to him, but with what am seeing, I don’t think he is actually listening to her. she was just talking and laughing probably cracking a joke but Tyler isn’t listening and I don’t think she is aware
hmmm….. quite snubish
I walked straight to his seat sitting on his desk. The girl was still talking? jeez!!! can’t she figure out that she is just wasting her precious time
Tyler noticed my pres£nce, and he dismissed the girl away, she left looking sad
I noticed the looks in Tyler’s face, he seems really blue
“Hey Tyler, what’s up with you, you look like someone who lost a catch or something “vi said sarcastically starting a conversation because the Tyler I know ha-rd ly looses his catch
He re-moved the earpiece from his ears diverting his attention to me
“So, where is Nelson” I asked
“Probably in the music clas-s” he replied
“do what happened, what’s the problem, you are not really looking Tyler ” I asked again
” Hmm… no big deal Dave. just that am not in the mood for all that ” Tyler replied with me knowing clearly that he was hiding something
“Don’t even tell me that T, am one of your closest friend here, and you Know you can’t lie to me, without me not knowing” I said.
” Dave it’s just Ev……, don’t worry Dave, just forget” Tyler said
” Tyler” I called
” Dave”he called back
” whatever if you don’t want to tell me, I think I should get going now ” I said standing up to leave
” no Dave it’s Eva” Tyler said surprising me
“you?, Eva?, what’s going on, I thought you guys were enemies, so what will make her bore you up to this extent” I asked
” you won’t un-derstand Dave, it’s quite twisted now” Tyler said
” so what’s going on now?, are you guys now d@t!ngz do you have any feelings of such fo her?” I said sarcastically holding back my laughter, because this is the same Tyler 18 or more months ago was carrying his shoulder that he will never have anything or contact with Eva if am not mistaken, is now the same Tyler looking tensed up because of her
“Dave, this is not funny. that’s why I never wanted to tell you cause I know you will just laugh it off” Tyler said looking quite pissed up
” okay bro…. am sorry about that, but you know it’s really funny for the same Tyler who……. ” I tried talking but was caught off by Tyler
” hey, enough Dave” Tyler said angrily
” okay , fine, fine, calm down beside……. “I was still talking when Nelson walking in looking quite smiley , I thought he was angry this morning, hmm .. such a sudden change of countenance.
almost all attention shifted to Nelson, which is quite a usual thing now
Nelson walked to both I and Tyler sitting on his seat since he Normally sits close to Tyler, and all attention shifted back to themselves
We, all exchanged greetings and continued in our talk
“So guys, what have I been missing up” Nelson asked
” not so much” Tyler replied
” okay am thinking we should go clubbing Tony” Nelson stated
” clubbing,?, I thought you were not a fan if that anymore because of Natasha your sweet girlfriend” I said sarcastically, Nelson eyed me at the mention of that
” hey Don’t do that , it’s girlish ” I said chuckling
” hey Dave, just try your best not to mention any girlfriend stuff here fo now ” Nelson said really surprising me
jeeez!! am really receiving a lot of surprises today
” Are you and Natasha going throu-gh some argument, or did you guys quarrel” I asked
” no, don’t just call her name here for now ” Nelson said.
“okay as I was saying, can we go clubbing tonight” Nelson asked again
” well am in” I said
” and you Tyler?” Nelson asked
” don’t think am gonna be interested in that today”Tyler said surprising us all
” you don’t mean it Tyler” I said
“yeah I do” he said
.” Tyler, what’s up with you?, I know you can’t resist p@rty stuffs, so commylet it out, what’s the problem?” Nelson asked
” not so much guys don’t bother, well I think I alre-ady have a change of mind, am going to you guys” Tyler said still surprising us with this awkward behavior of his
“well if you say so, be re-ady tonight” Nelson said
“deal” Tyler and I said
” so Dave, is there anything you aren’t telling us” Nelson said
“Hun?, anything like what?” I asked.
” like your relationsh!pwith Annabelle lately, I have been seeing yo guys together almost every day now , what’s up?” Nelson asked
hmmm, Nelson is really good at monitoring someone, I ha-rd ly see him around, so I wonder how he gets to know
“well, she is just a new friend I made lately, nothing more to it” I said
” wow, so you can really make friend with that freak, common she behave crazy, and you guys are match to be friends” Nelson said
” guy, she doesn’t behave crazy, she is just normal like we all are, bet me to that, go close to her and you would see, you guys just wanna take her a freak because of what people say, or because if her first behavior or act, you guys really nee-d to go close to her” I said in defense of Anna
” not me, she is really freakish to me” Tyler said , i thought he wasn’t involving himself in our conversation, does he really dislikes her that much
“well you guys can go on with your crazy friendsh!p, don’t care a hint” Nelson said standing walking away
wow!! why is Nelson angrily taking it serious, well they can go on with their rejection, at least I and Anna are closer daily

💛 Nelson’s pov 🧡
jeeez!! , why would Dave in his right s-en-ses take that Anna of a girl as a friend, common was his eyes closed when he was doing that?
worst of it all, she is one if the person I dislike so much
But right now am starting to see some reasons that I don’t have reasons for hating Anna , she never did anything to me, and I know I had actually hurt her with my words, not once, not twice
I don’t even know why her hate her that much seeing her behavior in public ap@rt from her clumsiness, there is still some good characters in
her better than Natasha’s
Am alre-ady starting to feel bad for all I had said or done to her since grade 7
mum always told me from little, that I should always respect girls no matter their behaviors, she told me that right from age 5 because I always find fun in mocking girls who are of no style or are of weird behaviors
but it just c@m£ down recently when I clocked 18,, but it wasn’t so on Annabelle’s case
Gosh! why can’t mum just wake up alre-ady, it’s alre-ady going to 7 months now, OMG
Right now, my relationsh!pwith Natasha isn’t working out at all
I don’t really know if I should end it or not, but eight now I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings
what should I do now?
.

🌸 Tyler’s pov 🎗️
Am actually alone now, Nelson left first, angrily and I don’t actually know now, I wonder why he just hate the mention of Anna’s name
I actually rejected clubbing because of Eva now I think I should just have a change of mind now, Eva is alre-ady boring me up with her character, am putting in all my possible best trying to apologise to her, but she is just proving ha-rd am trying my whole hearted best she is just ma-king things worst for me
today, apologizing to her, she ended acting uo crying walking walking, jeez!! she is just too complicated for my own liking
Am sure going out with Nelson and Dave would give me some space to free up my mind from all these stuff especially Eva’s attitude

💛 Annabelle’s pov 🧡
walking out of the clas-s with Eva , after the closing bell has just been rung, was somehow bort, because Eva wasn’t talking, I was left with all the talking she just kept mute like she has been right fron break hour
“so Eva have I told you that Raymond will be back anytime from now? ” I asked her excitedly but she just gave a weak smile replying me.
” wow!! that’s really nice, it’s been quite a long time he visited” she said still putting on her fake smile
” yea, and it’s been a long time you visited, mum and dad especially Stella has been asking for you for quite some time now” I said
” really, don’t worry I guess I will find sometime to visit” she said unlocking her phone after it beeped
” so Eva……” I was about asking her some questions when her driver drove to our front
“wow”! so quic-k today, bye best, see you tomorrow” she said hvgging
” bye” I said and she walked into the car
Well, today being Wednesday, Stella and I don’t usually go home together, cause as their sport day she closes earlier than me, so mum permitted her to come home early just for Wednesday to prevent her waiting at the school Gate doing nothing.
I was about boarding a cab when something told me to check my bag if my transport fare was intact , I searched the place I think I kept it but I couldn’t find it , OMG!! how come?
I searched, searched and searched, but couldn’t find it, pas-sers by stared at me because of the way I searched my bag , I can also admit I was acting really mad
jeeez!, jeeez!, jeez, I remember I left the money in my chemistry note which I actually locked up in my locker
oh God!! how will I go home now, and now the school Gate keeper wouldn’t let anyb©dy in again. God, why now. now I won’t have to walk home which am sure wouldn’t take me less than an hour
I was alre-ady walking home with all hopes lost, my legs feels weak and my toe hurt am also all sweaty all over my b©dy, and worst p@rt, the sun isn’t smiling today
I was walking hopelessly, when a car st©pped beside of me, I kept on walking fast because I was scared and I don’t know anyone with this type of car, and also the windows were tinted so I can’t easily see the person in it
The car kept on following me until I st©pped, and it also st©pped beside me, winning down the glas-s screen. jeeez! it’s Dave, my dad doesn’t even drive such car as this
” hey Anna, where are you walking to in this crazy h0t sun” he asked staring at me
” home” I replied him
“home?” he asked surprised I gussed.
” yea home, I actually locked up my transport fare in my locker and you know the gate keeper won’t let me in, do I just had no choice than to treck home” I said
” jeez!! where do you live ? ” he asked
I describe my house to him
” jeez!! Anna , don’t tell me you were planning to walk that long distance” he said pitifully
” well I had no hope, and as you can see that’s what I was actually doing” I said wiping off the sweat dripping down my face
“alright hop in, I will give you a ride straight home ” he offered
“wow, thanks a lot Dave, but I don’t think my mum will take it lightly with me, finding me in a car with a guy” I explained to him
” common Anna , I can’t let you treck that long distance, look at your self, you are all sweaty and also looking weak, let’s just go, you will explain to your mum, am sure she would un-derstand, common hop in” he said opening the door
” ah!! thanks Dave” I said walking in closing the door as he drove away
jeez am actually a funny person, I was rejecting Dave ride when I had no clue on how I will get home
Anna……

🌼 Annabelle’s pov 🌼
Arriving my street, I quic-kly told Dave to st©p before we reached exactly my house, to avoid them from seeing us especially my dad.
he quic-kly st©pped the car
“but why?, we’ve alre-ady agreed you will explain to your mum, she will surely un-derstand” he still insisted
” yea, you are right, my mum might un-derstand, but if my dad happens to see us together, then…… hmmmmmmm”” I said
“wow!!, really strict, but I guess your house is not far from here anymore, because I can’t afford you sweating again” he said in a caring tune
” yea thanks Dave, you are such a friend” I said opening the door
” wait Anna ” he said as I was about dropping down
“what?, hope no problem” I asked him
“no, not at all, I just wanted to ask for your phone number” he said stretching his phone towards me
” oh” I said collecting the phone, typing in my number, returning the phone back to him
“thanks Anna, bye for now” he said .
I dropped down the car closing the door waving at him, he waved back at me turning back, driving away
jeeez!! Dave is such a life saver, if not because of him I would had still be on the road walking home
I turned to the direction of my house walking home at least the tiredness has reduce and the sweat is totally dried off due to the air condition in Dave’s car
I quic-kly reached my house since it wasn’t up to three minutes work anymore, thanks to Dave
______________________________
Arriving the entrance if my house, I was met by quite an unusual noise.
I knocked on the door tiredly , I waited for quite some time until someone opened the door.
“Raymond…..” I screamed jumping on him hvgging him ti-ght
“hey lil sis, calm down, you are choking me” he said faking a cough
I pouted myl-ips at him, and he carried me in closing the door behind, throwing me on the couch
“ouch, why did u do that” I frowned
“whatever” he said
“hey sis” Stella said coming to my front helping me up
“wow, Ray , when did you come back?” I asked happily
“well, I think 5-6 hours ago” he said smiling at us
Raymond is my s£nior brother in college, I may have. told you guys before, am really really happy he is back now, he has been out of the house for the past six months or more
I had even forgotten about my aching leg I got from trecking
“wow!, my two little sis has grown a lot, for how long was I gone” he said with sarcasm in his voice, sitting on the couch between I and Stella
” so Ray, what did you bring for us I said bouncing in the couch excitedly
“yes biggie, what did you bring for us” Stella added ma-king me laugh
” biggie” I asked still laughing
“yeah Anna, an her biggie so don’t intervene” he said carrying Stella rolling her around..
Stella was screaming and laughing excitedly while I followed suite, it was just fun
he dropped her quic-kly when he noticed our noise was getting too much
“Don’t be jealous Anna, you are now a big girl, so i cant roll you around anymore”he said ma-king me chuckle
” wow!!, I have totally forgotten, my sis is in her final year in high school, very soon college will come knocking” he said coming closer to me tickling me, I couldn’t ba-re it, I kept on laughing until I fell
He picked me off the floor and was about taking his phone on the table when Stella interrupted me
“so biggie, where is our gift” Stella said sm-irking 😉 at me then him
” oh that’s true”he said walking to the table in the center of the living room picking two pink heart shaped box giving one to each of us
“so one lovely box of chocolates each, for my two beautiful sis, sorry I couldn’t afford much for you guys, but there is still some little things, which we will sort out later” he said smiling
” wow biggie, you don’t know how long I have been wishing to taste this” Stella said excitedly
” yes Ray, we really love it, you shouldn’t be bothered, we appreciate it alot” I said
” awwn, that’s why I love you guys” he said
“and we both love you too” I and Stella said at the same time hvgging him at the same time,we all loosed balance we all tr!pp£dfalling on Raymond
“ouch” he said jokingly
we were still contemplating in who to stand up first , when we heard mum voice from her room direction
“aren’t you guys not inconveniencing your brother” mum asked
” no mum, they are not Raymond replied
“alright,Anna you didn’t tell me you were back from school” mum said
” no mum, I was planning to do that, but Raymond was distracting me” I said walking to her hvgging her and she pe-cked myl-ips in return
” distracting you?” Raymond asked
I Chuckled
” ohh next time” he said standing up picking up his phone walking to his room
“all right Anna, you just go in, freshen up and come out for lunch we have been waiting for you, thank God you c@m£, if not we would have had lunch without you”mum said walking to the kitchen
” okay mum, be right back” I said running to my room cause of the hunger ranging in me
yay!! Ray is back, nob©dy believs or knows that Ray is my s£nior brother, especially my school, for the fact he is h0t and well built, despite our resemblance
And another fact, my brother is a very good basketball pla-yer, do it made him a little bit popular in some p@rt of New York, and from that he gains more money to as-sist my parents in taking care of us , instead of throwing the money around. and my dad really appreciate it, and I know one day it will be better for us

💋 Eva’s pov 🌻
I woke up this morning with a ban-ging horrible headache. like seriously this head ache just won’t to destroy my mood this morning,but sorry for it, I know the way to deal with it
cause nothing can spoil my mood this bright lovely morning
I stood up from my be-d , yawning and stretching, I said my little prayers, brushed my teeth and then I took some drugs to subside this headache
I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen cause am hearing some sounds from there.
I got to the kitchen to find mum and dad, mum was focused on the g@s cooker preparing breakfast I guess, while dad was leaning on the zinc talking to mum who just kept on laughing at what he was to me, which to me doesn’t sounds funny at all
“Hey, good morning mum, good morning Dad, I greeted
“hey swii, come over here” mum said
I walked to her, she hvgged me, pe-cked me on my cheeks, smoothening my hair asking me how my night was.
I walked to dad hvgging him without him gesturing, he hvgged me back smiling at me,
“baby, how was your night?” dad asked
“it was great dad” I replied
” alright, you go back upstairs, and have your birth, you woke up pretty late” dad said
” and make sure you come down for breakfast, you must not miss breakfast today” mum added
” alright mum” I replied running upstairs to prepare for school, cause truly am quite late
You guys may wonder why am treated and petted by my parents, well am the only child, which makes them love me unconditionally, but I really wished I had a little sis or brother.
I can’t wait to go to school to see Anna and also Tyler. am sure Tyler must be fed up with my character, I think it’s time to loos£n up my behavior to him, I think he really mean his apology, and I guess I might be hurting his feelings with my behavior to him.

Right now, I and Stella are preparing to board a cab to school. Am taking my phone to school today, since Raymond bought me a new beautiful pouch, he gave it to me last night, at least they will know the freak has a phone and she isn’t that less frequent as they think..
seriously, Raymond coming back home yesterday brou-ght lot of fun and joy to our home right from yesterday
Surprisingly, dad who ha-rd ly smile, was all smiley last night
And thanks to God, Raymond had just 2-3 month to spend in college, at least dad burden and expenses will be reduced.
The cab man dropped Stella at the front of her school gate, she be-dded me good bye, walking in with Peter who she met at the gate, it seems he was waiting for her, hmm….. children if there days
it didn’t take 5 minutes for the cab man to arrive my school, since it wasn’t far from that of Stella’s, I paid him his money, keeping the change we would use to go home safe to avoid what Happened yesterday repeating itself, yeah, and that reminds me!!, I really really nee-d to thank Dave for what happened yesterday
walking throu-gh the hallway, I don’t know how and when, but all I saw was I bu-mping into Nelson. I think I might be boring you guys with my bu-mping issue, but I don’t know how this happened, and to t©p it all, I had been avoiding Nelson since my last experience with him.
I was loosing balance at the same time trying to retain my balance, but instead Nelson held my hand balancing me totally preventing me from falling, dragging me off his way walking away quic-kly. but in that process I heard the sound of something falling
I looked down, and my eyes met with a fancy wrist watch. I picked it up and great fully it was. I studied it slowly and my eyes met with an inscription on it “NELSON”, wow, it must have fell off his hand in the process of supporting me, regarding the fact he helped me,if not I would had found myself on the floor
but like seriously when he held my hand, I thought he was going to throw me off balance, but I was surprised when he helped me, though he held me r0ûghly, there was still this kinda feeling I can’t describe
so how will I return this watch, he really looked angry when he walked away, I can’t face the wrath of him embarras-sing me, hmm….. Anna think…. I must give him this today , I have to think if a way. well, either he shouts or not, he will still collect it right? at least he will have his way home back

🏵️ Natasha’s pov 🏵️
God!!, how will I apologise to Nelson now, he doesn’t want to talk to anymore, he has been ignoring my calls, snubbing me and so many hurtful things
jeez!! I really nee-d to end all my sided relationsh!pespecially with Jake, Nelson might find out since Jake is Tyler’s close friend.
When I end all those relationsh!p, then I will now put my time only on Nelson, jeez!! he must not end this relationsh!p, I won’t let it happen, no never
no b©dy can ever separate us, not even the most powerful person on this planet.
Nelson and I are meant to be, we were created for each other
