Bella woke up and was surprised that already they had reached Nakuru. She had slept almost the whole journey as the scenery along the road she way very much used to it and there was nothing new to view.
She had slept for a long time but had not failed to notice that the girl seated between her and Newt had been eyeing Newt. She felt jealousness fill her but she could do nothing because she was his friend.
A time in her life she had madly fallen in love with him but she couldn't be able to let the cat out of the basket. She kept it as a little secret but Newton already had known about her feelings.
The Matatu stopped at its station and the passengers started to scatter. Newton's heart was more of a drum. He remembered old stories his mom had told him about a child whose heart was thumping on his chest when her mom had said she could kill her because of eating sugar.
The reason for the heart beat was because he feared Anna could tell him to walk her around the town because her eyes were still lingering to his! They alighted the car and Bella met Newt at the door.
Anna had already alighted and before she had left she had forced her shoulders to bump onto each other. Though romantic, Newt found it weird as she had smiled at him and that led to him giving her a questioning look.
'Hey Newton let's take a cab to home. And please what's up with that girl? She's acting weird and the way she looks young!' she said ,please don't involve yourself with people like those please for me Newt.' She ended her statement in a very cute way. Newton found it that she had said it cute.
'I can't Bella involve myself with her. She's super cute and she may end up heartbreaking me as she seems to be enticing every one beside her.' He said and entered a cab that they had booked to take them to their home.
After she had alighted from the Matatu, She had lost her focus of what had brought her to the town. She went to the city's park and sat and pulled out her mobile phone and wrote as a message.

My thumb is up on my phone's screen ready to write
But the words seemed far away from here.
I'm searching but Pearl, it seems like I am obsessed.
I am distracted...
My mind is on a trip. Very far away
Show me how to focus
It won't cost much just your time.
It's just our first and not even known your name but Newton, You are my one.
I can be the one you ever loved ,
The one you'd love to walk beside to!
I have liked you but I have to say this,
Even though I have seen you now, I know our love we'll be great.
After writing that, she went to press the send message and then she realised she had not borrowed him his number. Damn! She cursed herself underneath her breath. She couldn't believe she had not even asked him for his Facebook's or Instagram's account name. Damn!
She remembered that he had told her that he goes to Kenyetta University then she felt realeved. She decided that the only thing that she could do was to convince her parents to accept her join the campus.
She went to a mall to buy the things mom had requested her.
On the other hand, the drive to Newton's and Bella's homes was just a thirty minutes drive and they reached there only to find that Newton's parents were gone to the garden. Newton unpacked his belongings and they went to Bella's homestead. There, they found Bella's parents watching television.
After exchanging greetings, the cab soon left the homestead and off went to Nakuru town.
Bella's parents were very grateful that the friendship between their daughter and Newton still was very great. They feared for Bella because as she was plump, no person would like to call her his or her friend except for Newton who had became not only her friend but also the homestead's friend. With that, Newton's family together with Bella's family bonded even more stronger.
Newton and Bella took their lunch at her home and left to go to Newton's home since they had not met his parents.
They walked as they chatted old stories while Newt also ignored her advances to ask him about the girl at the matatu. In no time they had arrived Newt's home.
