I spend a lot of time looking for Brit I feel really bad I should never have seen Eric this did not solve anything, it only made me feel more stupid, also I am afraid that Lory will tell about me and Noha to Britani, I want to be the one to explain.
After walking from one place to another without success, I decide to give the afternoon classes and then train, hopefully I will meet her in some class or in the cafeteria.
"Nalla, we can talk," Abel calls me.
We haven't spoken since the night Noha and I went to confession, that night Abel argued with me.
"What do you need", I say approaching him.
He looks a bit nervous, he looks at me and gives me a small smile.
"I just wanted to apologize, for my behavior, it bothers me when they talk about Bella and I don't want to see you hurt," he says sadly.
"Abel, nothing will happen to me, Noha won't hurt me and of course he forgave you, you're a good friend, I just don't want Bella to be linked with me anymore," I say sincerely.
"It will not happen and to celebrate our reconciliation, what do you think if I invite you to eat," he asks, tilting his head a little and smiling widely.
I think about it for a moment, Abel is part of Noha's life, although now they hate each other, I would like them to be friends again in the future, maybe I can talk to Abel, he will surely be more receptive.
"Sure," I say confidently.
Abel, "I'll see you after school well."
The day passes really fast, I finish my exhausting training for my bad luck in my team is Evelin and Eric, the environment was not pleasant at all but even so I tried everything I could I did not feel any pain or discomfort I think the morning classes in The water will do me good it is very soon but I know that little by little I will regain my strength.
I am in the stands resting a little, when I hear Britani calling me, she approaches next to Lory, my blood immediately freezes I am afraid she has told her.
"Nalla I was looking for you all day, the boys will have a competition in the pool, let's see them," says Brit very excited.
Clearly she doesn't know anything yet that calmed me down, but Lory is distant and doesn't even look at me, she seems to be very upset.
"Sure," I say a little nervous.
The three of us walk to the pool, Lory won't speak to me and Britani won't stop talking about how impressive Darian will look.
"That's not Noha," Britani points out.
Noha is out with a boy, he has a tattooed head and a wicked smile.
Noha looks annoyed and with a brusque gesture dismisses the boy.
He looks at me with those deep eyes, I know from his look that he is not right, he no longer looks relaxed like a few hours ago, he is very upset.
He comes up to us and greets us.
He kisses me slyly and takes my hand, remaining behind a distracted and talkative Britani.
"I explained everything to Lory," Noha whispers in my ear.
I did not think I had talked to her due to how distant she was, even so I did not want to bring it up there was something else that worried me.
"Who was that boy?" I ask.
Noha stiffens.
"It's nobody important," he answers and walks quickly away from me.
Noha stands in the middle of Richard and Darian who are preparing for the swim competition, the girls and I sit in the stands along with some students and teammates.
"Brit, who was the boy from before, the one who was talking to Noha." I ask.
"He was a guy who made fights for him," Brit says distractedly as she looks at Darian.
"Do you fight?" I ask.
"If I don't know much about it, Darian and Richar managed to get it out of that place, I just know it was really good," he says clapping his hands.
"Why was he fighting and why did they get him out of fights?" I keep asking.
Coach Bella blows the whistle, my friend gets up to cheer on her boyfriend, the boys jump into the water and start swimming, while I run out of answers.
Noha does it amazing, he gets ahead of everyone quickly, Richard is the only one who gets close enough to him, they reach the end and everyone applauds.
Noha is in first place, Richard in second, Darian in third, a boy in fourth, Abel is fifth and a boy who is quite upset finishes last.
Britani runs off to Darian's arms and I follow her.
Noha watches me and smiles, I sneak up on him.
He surrounds his arm around my waist and he embraces me in front of everyone.
"What?" Darian asks looking at us.
Britani stares at us with her mouth open and Richar just laps into the pool again.
"Brit don't congratulate us," says Noha without letting go.
Brit approached him and stood on tiptoe, whispering to him.
"Are you aware that I will kill you if you hurt him," she says without hiding her smile, "oh god I'm surprised.
We all laugh, part of joy and part nervousness, but we laugh.
"Nalla we can go now," Abel approaches.
I had completely forgotten, Noha's smile is completely erased and he looks at me annoyed.
"May I know where?" asks Noha.
He shows a fake smile, pretending to be completely calm, but he is not doing it.
"We have an appointment," Abel answers confidently.
Everyone looks at Abel and then at Noha, Richard quickly comes out of the water and approaches Noha.
Which clenches the jaw.
"Abel enough," warns Richard
Without prior abyss, Noha takes Abel and throws him into the water, everyone is surprised but says nothing.
He looks at me annoyed and takes me by the hand leading me to the bathrooms.
We entered one of the cubicles, why is this happening to me?
Noha is in the heat of arms and watches me with her characteristic murderous look.
"It is true?" he asks.
"That?" I say nervously.
"Don't play dumb, the date," he says frustrated.
"Yes," I say sincerely.
Noha's eyes widen in surprise.
I try to get out of the bathroom but he stops me, grabs me by the waist and approaches him staring at me.
"Don't go," he asks.
"Noha I need to fix some things with him, it's not what you think, let's just talk and I'm free to see whoever it is and what the hell happened why did you throw it away?" I say totally frustrated.
"That doesn't matter Nalla, I don't care if you have to talk to him, I don't want you to go," he says simply.
Nalla, "Noha I will go,"
"Nalla I don't want you to go with him I need you by my side I really need you and I don't trust him,"
"Then tell me all about yourself," I beg.
"You know everything," he says closing his eyes.
"I know there are things they hide from me, I'm sorry Noha but I have to go.
I leave him behind more frustrated and angry, and once outside I meet Abel.
"You're good?" Abel asks.
"Yes," I say something sad.
Abel, "Are we leaving?"
Noha passes by us quickly and leaves, the moment I see him my head goes crazy, maybe the one I did wrong was me, I must let Noha be the one to tell me about her past, I'm not the one to look for information and a lot Less fix their relationships, I'll just stay by their side.
"You know, I'm not feeling very well, I better go home," I tell Abel and run away.
I run after Noha is coming out of the gym.
"Noha," I call him.
He turns around and looks at me very surprised, I laugh at his arms and hug him.
"I'm sorry, you were right, I'll wait for you to explain everything to me, only when you're ready," I say agitated.
Noha strokes my hair and kisses it.
"I am, I just ask you to trust me," he says, holding me even more in his arms.
I have no doubt, I trust him completely.
