Adrian's POV
I woke up to the sound of Alisha's annoying alarm clock. I groaned, covering my head with the blankets but it didn't stop the noise from reaching me so I hit it. I felt the other side of the bed only to find it cold and empty. Standing up from the bed, I made my way to the toilet to empty my...you know. The smell of noodles hit me instantly when I left the room...and that's when it hit to me.
"Where's Alisha's school bag" I asked myself. Then I remembered our little fight last night, she must have left without me. I sighed, I had just lost my appetite and I felt like a shitty person. I looked around the room and ran my fingers through my hair in frustration.
"Adrian dear, have you seen Alisha?" Mrs. Stark asked peeping into the room.
"She left early"
"Oh, is everything okay?" She asked now inside the room with a worried look on her face.
"Yeah" I didn't want to tell her what happened just yet. I didn't feel like telling her and I also didn't want her lecturing.
" Breakfast is ready. If you need a listening ear, do come to me okay?"
"Yeah thanks" I nodded and entered the bathroom immediately she left. After showering and brushing my teeth, I put on a sky blue polo and faded blue jeans and white converse while thinking of how to talk to Lis.
"I'm skipping breakfast mom" I said to Mrs Stark.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong Rian? You know you can always talk to me about anything"
"I'm almost late for school. I'll see you later bye" she sighed and gave me a kiss on my forehead.
"Be safe"
I took a cab to school in order to get there on time. I didn't want to serve detention at all.
"Hey D" Chloe -my girlfriend said pecking my cheek. I gave her a quick kiss and held her hand in mine as we walked through the hallway.
"How're you babe?"
"I'm good. You know Saturday is our second monthsary right?" She asked
"Of course. I can never forget it" I smiled at her and gave a hand a light squeeze. Chloe is a very nice girl. Has good manners, polite, non-materialistic and very pretty.
She gave my chest a pat
"I'll be heading to class now. See you at lunch babe" she hugged me and left. Now I just had to find Lis. Good, we have math class together plus Jeannie if I may add. I increased my pace, wanting to talk to her before the Mr. Butchwuck comes in. I opened the door and found her immediately, with Jeannie beside her. Her eyes found mine and she frowned then, went back to her discussion.
"Lis" silence
"Lis" another silence
"Li_"
"What is the matter with you? Don't you get the hint? I don't want to talk to you. Not right now" she said with a cold face. She was really angry with me. Alisha is never one to shout when she's very angry. She becomes very cold and emotionless and that's how I know that I've really fucked.
"Lis I'm really sor_"
" I said I don't want to talk to you. I don't even want to see you right now. I need some space. Please"
"Fine, but I'm not going to leave you next time. We need to talk please"
She huffs" fine"
I walk to the end of the classroom and take a seat. I don't pay attention till the class is over. Same with the others. I really need to talk to her, it's killing me. It's killing us.
Walking to the cafeteria, I spot Chloe waving at me with her huge smile on her face. I like Chloe, I really do but it's just not enough and she deserves better. My heart is with someone else and I can't keep leading her on, I know it's very wrong to do so. It makes me feel guilty 'cause I know she loves me...a lot.
"Hey babe" I kissed her, hugging her close.
"Hey" she smiled up at me from her 5'4" height. We entered the cafeteria and what I saw made me really angry and surprised at the same time. Bryan, Jordan, Declan, Jonathan, Alisha and Jeannie were sitting together. Great. Just fucking great.
"Wow, when did this happen?" Chloe asked clearly surprised too.
"I don't know" we walked to the table and pulled to more chairs joining them.
"No one said you could join us" Declan said folding his arms and leaning back on his chair.
"It's okay, he's my friend...and your friend-to-be" Alisha said placing a hand on his lap for a second. I was confused.
"Friend-to-be?" I scoffed. There's no way I'm sharing Alisha with four boys. No way.
"Yes" Jeannie added, smiling at Jordan. Of course she'd be happy, she has a crush on the guy.
"I don't know why you're doing this Alisha but I'm not sharing you with these boys" I frowned at her.
"Share me? What am I? Your property?" She scoffed "you've got to be kidding me"
"That's not what I meant" I replied shaking my head.
"Then what exactly do you mean?" Her brows knitted together in a frown
"I_"
"You know what, I don't want to know. Keep it to yourself Like you always do" she grabbed her bag and left the cafeteria. Jeannie turned to me with the meanest frown on her face
"I don't know what you did to her to make her angry before now, but you only worsened it. You're doing a very shitty job being a best friend" then she left too. Chloe remained quiet, not saying anything at all.
"Man, you need to fix your shit. We just want to be friends with her and that also means we have to be friends with you too. So the best thing to do is just try to be cool with it. You may not like us much now but trust me, you'll love us once you get to know us better" Jonathan said to me with a concerned look on his face in the beginning and a smile at the end.
"Let's go guys" he said to the others and they left too. Leaving me with Chloe.
"You really need to talk to her. In a cool way too. Don't push her, give her some space and also don't try to act like you own her too. Nobody likes that. I'll see you when you see me. Bye babe" she planted a kiss on my cheek and left. I let out a heavy sigh. This is going to be a very long week.
Alisha's POV
I stormed out of the cafeteria with long quick strides. How dare he talk to me like that? I didn't even know whether I was to cry or not. So I laughed. Yes, I laughed but it was a very weak one.
" Lis! Wait up" I heard Jeannie call out for me and I stopped.
"I'm sorry for what happened back there but you really need to talk to him. You guys seriously need to sort out your shit"
"I know. It's just not the right time. I'll talk to him when I want to...as for now, he should keep his distance" I said going for my next class. Jeannie let out a defeated sigh and went the opposite way. I needed a break.
After school, I walked to the the garage without Jeannie. I need some time alone.
"Don't forget okay?" Chloe said to Adrian not too far away from where I was.
"I won't. I have to go now, bye babe" he kissed her and left. I felt a pang in my chest. I felt betrayed, hurt and jealous. I know I shouldn't be but I couldn't help it. Chloe was just the perfect girl for him but I couldn't stop wishing that I was the one he loved.
"What are you looking at?" Ugh! Just the last person I wanted to see.
"Bryan what do you want"
"You" I almost snapped my neck with the speed and force I used to face him.
"God. I was just Kidding" he clutched his stomach, laughing his stupid ass off.
"Ha ha, very funny. Now tell me, what do you want?"
"Uhmm" he cleared his throat before he spoke again "Do you want to grab an ice cream?" I could tell he was nervous by the way he was rubbing the back of his neck.
I snorted. "Are you by any chance asking he out on a date?"
"I wouldn't call it a date but if that's what you want to call it, then yeah...it's a date"
"I'm not interested" I replied and started walking home. He stiffened and then started walking behind me.
"Okay. What about Macdonald's or I can take you to a fancy restaurant if you want" he said hurriedly.
"I'm still not interested Woods. Just give up. I'm not into you"
"I know but we can try. Just give me a chance"
"How did you even go from hating me to asking me out all of a sudden!" I yelled at him. He stopped walking and held my shoulders.
"I never hated you Alisha. What even gave you that impression"
"You gave off that vibe"
"I know I said I was going to deal with you after you pulled that little stunt in the cafeteria. I never meant it. If anything, it even made me find you interesting"
"Interesting?" I scoffed. "I'm not some project Bryan. Get out of my way." His facial expression hardened.
"Fine" Then he left.
I walked home and found out that Adrian had left. I made myself a sandwich and grabbed a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream from the fridge to eat. My phone beeped notifying me of a new message.
Rian: we need to talk.
Then I replied
Come over
Rian: on my way
I smiled to myself and flipped through channels while I waited for him. Few minutes later, he knocked on the front door.
"Hi" he said when I opened the door. I nodded at let him in.
"Lis, I'm really sorry for snapping at you. I wasn't thinking straight." I kept quiet thinking of what to say to him.
"Say something please" he pleaded looking at me in the eye. I sighed and pulled him towards the couch to sit with me.
"It's okay, I understand now. It's just that I was caught off guard. I never expected you to snap at me." I said holding his hands in mine. He smiled at me and pulled me in for a hug.
"I love you so much" My heartbeat increased immediately after those words left his mouth. "You're the best best friend anyone could have" then, it shattered.
'haa. You really think he'd love you? He has a girlfriend' my subconscious laughed at me.
I pulled back and gave me a small smile.
"Ice cream?" I asked pushing my ice cream towards him.
"Of course" he smiled back at me and we continued watching the movie and another and another till we were tired.
"I have to start going. It's almost past six" he said looking at his wrist watch.
" I'll see you tomorrow then" he nodded and left the house.
My phone buzzed
