Whitney's POV:-
Like after a milliena , the bell for 6th period goes off. I again go to my locker and firstly tear off those fucking hate notes and dump them. Secondly I take books for for Literature and wait for Em.After 5 mins, she arrives clearly worried. She goes off," What happened to you? You never miss a class! What Adam said.....is it still bothering you?"
To this, I sigh, " Of course, it's bothering me, Em. But .....I've decided that...I want a change and I've come to a conclusion that Adam is still that douche bag." Her eyebrows scrunch up in confusion,"Change? What sort of ?" Just as I am about to answer....the bell goes off. I walk off, saying, " I'll tell you in the spare. Meet me here." She nods and goes to her class.
The class was quite empty when I reached.....well, not bothering the other guys...I take a seat at the back and think of what I just said to Em... ' I have decided that I want a change..' Hmm... what sort of a change do I want??? Then an idea goes off in my head. That should do justice. Just then the door opens and walks in Adam. He looks around the class( again) looking for a seat. Thankfully there are no partner seats here. I look down at my book for this semester, Romeo and Juliet. I raise my eyes just a little to see him rub his neck and walk towards the seat beside me. Why can't this douche bag leave me along?
The teacher walks in, Thank god! She looks around the class and smiles, "Class, since every one of you has done well in the previous test, today is a free class!" The class erupts in cheers and files out of the class, heading for the garden. I sigh, take my bag and start walking towards the tree I was beside earlier. Its fine I got more time to think. I want more natural colors in my hair, a complete change of wardrobe and obviously a boost of self-esteem. Yea, that'd be perfect. My eyes fall on some couples nearby and I smile, sadly. As soon as I reach my tree and plop down...my thought start going to Adam.
How could he say something like this? He doesn't know what I've been through. He doesn't and would never understand the pain I feel, how it shatters my heart. I fiddle with my collar, looking for this extremely special thing I keep. Panic settles in as i can't find it. Oh shit!! Oh no! Even after spilling the contents, i can't find it....Fuck..I start running back to our class, half blinded by tears. That's when I collide with a wall, a very hard wall. Or someone with a hard chest. The impact was so hard, I fell onto the floor hurting my wrists in the process.
Ow! It takes me two- three minutes to see the brick made person. And fuck! It's Adam. He's standing there, shocked. "Are you going to help me or not?" I wince, cradling my hurt wrist. "Oh ! yeah, sorry." He apologizes and held out a hand. It took him a full minute to realize that i was preoccupied cradling my injured wrist. "Crap, sorry." He bents down and examines my wrist. Since, I was holding my wrist close to me, he also came to me.... God! He is freaking cute! With two three freckles brushing up his nose, he is no doubt a sore sight for eyes.
"Birdy?" A voice called out.
That snaps me out of my trance, "Oh, what did you say?"
"I asked, can you get up?" He repeated, giving me a lopsided grin.
"Don't give me that grin, Mr. Walters!" I warn him. "Why not? You were busying admiring my face and my nose." He gives a sly grin. "What?! No!.....Please tell me I didn't say it out loud!" I groan, embarrassed. "You did...so you think I'm freaking cute???" He asks, imitating me. "Forget that and help me up, big head!" I say, with my cheeks flushed red. "Yea, yea Birdy. Your wish, my command." He winks.
And he comes even closer. Stuttering due to nervousness, "Ummm...A-Adam? What are you doing?" He ignores me and places his hands on my waist. Oh My God! I might go up in spontaneous combustion any second now! He stands up, pulling me as well. "There, all done...now infirmary." He mutters to himself. His soft yet firm hands guide me to the infirmary. "Nurse! Birdy here needs some attention!" He calls out. "....although I'm giving her every single bit of mine." He murmurs to himself.
"What? I heard that.." I smirk.
Now it was his turn to blush. "I think I'm not needed here...oh and I found this fallen by your table." He hands me something and rushes out, with a little tinge of red on his cheeks. While the nurse treated my wrist..I look at my palm. There was something wrapped in paper. I quickly unwrap it and a gasp leaves my lips.
My pendant and a letter! I clasp my pendant on and start reading the letter. It was from Adam.

Dear Birdy,
I guess what I said at lunch was wrong. Your friend made me realize it after she smacked me...
I couldn't say the truth so...I thought to tease you.....But here's the truth.
I always knew knew my Birdy, but I couldn't recognize her since she turned into this extremely feminine and cute lady. I know you must be thinking that I'm delusional. But trust me on this....You stand out.
Overall..what I'm saying is...
I'm sorry, forgive me..and
Be my Birdy again.. :)
Love,
Your Bighead( Am I though?)XOXO

This guy...knows how to make me smile..but I'm gonna need a makeover. The bell rings and I start walking towards my locker after thanking the nurse. Since Em is not here, I start looking through my locker for some books. To my surprise....I find another note from Adam. It said
_____________________
Oh and meet me at the rooftop in your spare after 15-20 mins. I have some real- life apologizing to do. - A.W
____________________________________
What is this guy made up of? How can he make me smile so much? And where the fuck is Em?? I guess I'll meet her later. Rooftop.....hmm Nice place. I start walking towards the stairs, praying nothing happens.
As I reach the top I see that the door is ajar. Oh, so Bighead is already waiting...I could make out that Adam was near the edge, looking over. When Adam didn't notice me coming towards him, I decide on surprising him by saying loudly, "Since when Adam Walters apologize??"
He jumped as if someone had electrocuted him. By the time he had calmed down, tears were streaming down my cheeks, I was laughing so hard. After 15 mins of intense laughing, I finally quietened up. "What were you thinking Bighead??" I ask, wiping a single tear from my eye. To this, he rubs his neck, a sign I know is of nervousness. Finally he answers, "I was thinking of how to apologize and what Emerald told me." My ears perk up, " What did she say??"
"She said you wanted a change, and don't do anything stupid."
"Who are you? My father? I will do anything I want!" I scoff.
"Okay, my turn for apologizing." He murmurs. He starts off, " When I said I couldn't recognize you underneath all that..I didn't mean it literally. I meant, I couldn't recognize you under all that self-conscious. All that timidness. By looks....You've truly turned into this pretty gorgeous girl, Birdy." His eyes were twinkling when he said that. He continued," Forgive me and..Be my Birdy again?"
Even though I knew my answer...I still say," I'll think about it." "C'mon Birdy! Should I kiss you??" He suggests, winking. "No, no, I'll be your Birdy again but you're getting a shock next Monday." I wink, wave and strut off, smiling. "What will I be getting?" He yells, no doubt confused.
I turn around and yell, "Patience, pretty boy. Next Monday is not far away!" I blow him a kiss and wink. To this, he acts as if he caught my kiss and puts it near his heart. I smile and go down. On my way, I find Emerald sitting on the stairs. I sit beside her.
"Oi, where were you?" I nudge her. "Whit, should I be befriending Rick? After all that has happened? I feel I'll forget him.....and I don't want to ..Ever." She asks, troubled.
At this, my heart melts for her. I look at her and hug her, feeling a little overwhelmed then I say," Emerald Blackwood, he fell in love with you because he knew you were his source of light and happiness. He would do absolutely anything to see you happy. Even though he is not with us now, he still would want you to be happy. And you won't ever forget him, trust me. When love hits you, it can never be forgotten, even if circumstances change. You, my amazingly crazy friend, have been hit by by love. It has weaved it's magic upon you. But meeting someone else doesn't take that away. Befriend Rick. I can see...that he can make you happy."
Emerald laughs a little and says, " God, you're good at advice, but when will you be hit by love??" "I don't know. But i'll tell you when I am. BTW I had to tell you something...so shall I ?" I ask. She nods, I continue," I told you, I want a change right? To be specific, I want a full makeover, this weekend. I think that might give me an attitude makeover too."
Emerald squeals and exclaims," Finally girl. you're taking charge! Let's go now! I know a place for clothes."
"Yeah totally, now on..I'll fully use my credit card." I gush, and we quickly run to my jeep. We get in and I let her drive.
I yell," Hit the road Blackwood!"
