''Ewww, what is happening'', said Raquel with a faint malicious grin on her face. She saw this coming, because she spent the past few days spying on the innocent Mia who was hiding something from them.
"Ohh no no no, this was not supposed to happen, Forgive me Zane, I.... I " Mia tensed, as she cried. The temporary dye she applied on her hair was coming out, covering her face.
She felt bad Zane had to know the truth in this manner.
Water entered her eyes, as she rubbed them, the brown contact lens fell on the ground.
Zane watched the scene in front of him, his mouth, slightly agape, unable to utter a word.
Someone new, a stranger, was being revealed right there and then. Someone he thought he knew.
He clasped Mia's hand suddenly, and drove her out of his room, to the bathroom.
"Oh, no, where are you going?" Raquel trailed them in hot pursuit, with a fake concern in her voice.
Zane filled a medium- sized bucket with water, and tenderly washed Mia's face and eyes. He grabbed a towel, and wiped her hair and face. Raquel wished to slam the bucket on Mia's face as she watched them.
He then stood still, staring at Mia, Confused, with his head slightly tilted at the side, unblinkingly as if he had seen a ghost.
"Wh..w....who...a.." Zane could not complete his words, because Raquel interfered. "Come on, Zane, look now, I told you not to trust her, end your friendship now and kick her out of this house, this is not a house of hypocrites. How could you hide your true identity from us. You don't deserve us!"
Raquel fake sobbed, pretending she was hurt by Mia, her "friend."
"I.. have to go now, " Mia didn't want further humiliation. At Least she had made friends the past 3 years. Her family, until... Perhaps even a friend because Raquel detested her, that's what she thought.
When Mia turned around to go, Zane held her arm tightly, causing her to wince because of the pain.
Zane: You are coming with me, Greta has a lot of explaining to do. Raquel, stay here, I'll be back, I don't want to see you adding insult to injury.
With that, he briskly led Mia out of his room. On their way, Mia covered herself with her oversized hoodie.
Raquel stayed back, wiped her crocodile tears and drank cold juice with a smirk on her face.
They did not exchange words, and they quickly reached Greta's house as it was just a stone - throw distance from his house.
Without knocking, Zane opened the door and entered the house. Mia could read his angry expression that was clearly written on his face.
Greta turned her head round and she immediately knew something was up. Mia was wet, and Zane was angry. What a funny first argument and scene for the 2.
Greta: Is everything alright?
Zane: How about you tell me?
Greta: What do you mean?
Zane lifted his eyebrows, and removed the hoodie that was covering her snow-white hair and blue eyes. The Goddess!!
Greta widened her already big eyes, and said
"So you found out, come both of you and sit down, Mia Bexley will explain everything. "
They did so and Mia explained her childhood, and as to why she disguised herself. It was because she thought she was hideous and scary. She got that thought from the way people at the orphanage used to stare at her. Little did she know that, it was out of admiration, jealousy, mesmerization or curiosity of how she found the make up. Zane was shocked after that explanation.
She was the most precious, cute and most beautiful person he had seen ever in his
16 years of existence. Though he had a girlfriend, he had to admit that his best friend, Mia, was a million times prettier, sexier and hotter with her petite hour glass body. Not that he had seen her with crop tops and shorts to know that she had an hourglass body. Whenever she hugged him, he could feel her tiny waist with her oversized hoodies. He felt sorry for her. According to him, she was a completely new person. With the disguise she looked pretty, but now with her natural beauty, she was a billion times more gorgeous. Pretty enough to turn men and boy's necks, leaving their greedy mouths wide agape.
" Sorry Mia... uh... you are not scary, you are b...beaut... mmh, you are just okay, no need to hide yourself anymore because am here for you" .Zane stood up and pulled Mia in a warm embrace, caressing her back. He couldn't find the words to describe her beauty.
"Everything, is going to be fine as long as you trust me. Got that?"
"mmh, thank you Zane".
