💘 Third person's p.o.v 💘

Monday morning...in class;

"Don't tell me your friends are in detention" Raven said, walking up to Aiden's seat. He was alone.

He wasn't listening to her and didn't even notice her presence as his mind was somewhere else..

She followed his eyes, with hers and when it landed on a particular person, she chuckled.

"I knew you like her". Her voice brought the dreamy eyes boy back to his senses.

"Wah?" He feigned ignorance.

"Bella... you're into her huh?" She nudged him, with a smug.

"Shut up, I'm not". Aiden grumbled.

"Someone is in looovee". She drawled, crooning as she pinched his cheeks.

"What the hell...ow!" He glared at her. She stuck out her tongue mocking him as she turned to look at Bella who was discussing with Mia at the front row.

"You were just staring at her with interest... don't try to deny it. You had that look in your eyes...the same way you used to look at Courtney". She said and sighed.

"Go to your seat". He murmured.

"How rude! I was saying the truth.." She said with an angry pout.

"Don't mention her name to me".

"You don't even despise her the way i do...buh then you should deal with it, she's your ex. I'm still wondering what attracted you to her". She scrunched up her face.

He ignored her...

"I know you're hurt because of her and because of that you are scared of falling in love again thinking you're gonna get hurt again".

He turned to look at her, she seemed to have said something true.

"So are you trying to comfort me advise me, or just annoy me?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You stubborn headed piece of sh*t! I'm trying to remain calm here, don't piss me off. You're tryna say all what I've been saying, doesn't make any sense to you". She hissed, raising her hand to hit him...

"Sheesh! I just asked a question". He replied innocently, ducking his head, from her violent palm.

"I'll hit you if you don't keep quiet and listen". She growled at him.

"Fine...I'll listen". He pretended to zip his mouth.

She withdrew her hand and scowled at their classmates who were peeking at them.

"Mind your business!" Then she faced him...

"Let go of your hatred for Courtney and focus on your future. If you like someone, go for it. Don't let your pride get into your head or the stupid hatred you have for love because you're heartbroken. Eish! Courtney is in the past and I'm pretty sure she doesn't even care about what happened between the both of you. She's living a free life and you're stuck with your anger towards her..." She scoffed.

"Why did you date her anyway? I know you used to be close friends and all but why did you decide to make it more intimate?" She suddenly asked.

"I cringe when I think how much of a fool you were, in love, back then".

He stared at her as if he didn't hear anything she was asking or telling him and poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue.

"Answer me goddamnit!" She snapped.

He gazed at his cousin unbelievably...

"You asked me to keep quiet and listen".

She pinched the bridge of her nose... groaning.

"When i ask you a question..answer" she muttered.

"This girl!" He growled.

"You should get a girlfriend before prom or so help me God...I'm gonna castrate you and feed your gut to my dog". She spat, with a menacing glare.

He scoffed..."Now you're threatening me into getting a girlfriend?"

"Whatever you call it...don't go against me or else..." She smirked and brushed off a strand of his hair on his face.

"Yunno it sounds odd coming from someone who doesn't believe in love...I mean, everything you just said" He told her..

"Aish! you this boy, I never said I don't believe in love". She replied, touching the nape of her neck, nervously.

"So, have you ever been in love?" He asked.

"Don't try to direct everything to me.. we're dealing with you here". She murmured, looking away.

"You're avoiding the question... aren't you?"

"Just keep quiet already!". She hissed, then turned to face him again.

"Don't think I care about you anyway...just get a girl and get a life. And this time, make sure you get the right girl". She snapped her finger at him, showing him her sharp scalpel she always kept with her, then stood up, and walked to her seat.

Aiden stared at the devil's incarnate in form of a cousin as she walked to her seat. She was always threatening him.

She could be cute and sweet sometimes and it was freakish. She could be scary and mean sometimes. Heck yeah that was her.

Even if she was the most cold hearted devil he knew, deep down he knew she cared deeply about him and was always taking his side. And he cherished her for that.

All she ever wanted was his happiness..

She never made friends because everyone around her irked her...and he was her only friend, according to what she had said.

Overall, she was his dear cousin... his dear sister.

He didn't answer her question about him dating Courtney and it was because he was embarrassed. Then, he was really blinded by the stupid delusion called love.

He looked up to glance at Bella...she was all perky with Mia and they were laughing cheerfully.

A smile crept to his lips..

There was something about her... something that stirred up his emotions...

❣️ Bella's p.o.v ❣️

"Why did Mickey mouse decide to go to space?" Mia asked me.

"Uh...I don't know" I replied with a raised eyebrow.

"To find Pluto!" She beamed.

"...." I stared at her, lost.

"Don't you get it? Pluto as in the planet and Pluto as in his dog from clubhouse remember?"

"Ohhh" I suddenly understood her... She was back with her puns. And i wasn't really good at it.

"That's a good one" I gave her a thumbs up.

"Your turn..." She said.

"Um..I've got nothing" I scratched my head.

"Okay..what is the name of the penguins favorite aunt?" She asked.

"..."

"Aunt Artica". She said, giggling.

"Why did the egg cross the road?"

"...."

"Because it was stapled to the chicken". She said and bursted out laughing as she held her stomach.

My face was stern, looking at the cackling figure...

That particular pun was dumb!

"I cracked myself up....get it? Crack.." she chuckled.

"Ayy". I muttered, with a serious face.

"C'mon it's so funny" she nudged me.

"Yeah...haha" I said.

"That's so bad it's...eggcellent....eggstra awesome right?" She giggled.

"Eggxactly" I murmured.

"Yuh! You made one!" She clapped.

I rolled my eyes.

Jerry, Lucas and Carlos entered the class...

Looks like their detention period is over....it's a surprise Aiden wasn't part of them this time.

Mia sighed deeply and held her cheeks.

"He never smiles.... I'm gonna change that" she said, staring at Carlos as he walked to his seat.

I stifled a laughter....

She was so bent on being with Carlos even if it seemed impossible.

"Your crush on him isn't gonna die is it?" I asked her ...

She blushed..."if I love someone, it's hard to give up on the person".

So...it's love not crush...

"Wow...I like your determination. But seriously, he doesn't even treat you like you exist...no offense".

"None taken.." she replied.

"Both of you are so different, like you're from different worlds." I said.

"It doesn't matter....and who says we're different?" She asked, with a grin..

"He has a nose, I have a nose, he has eyes...I also have eyes..."

I face palmed myself. "That's not what I'm talking about". I groaned in frustration.

"He breathes...I also breathe. He has two legs..." She kept listing parts of the body and I turned away, leaving her to herself as she spat unnecessary nonsense.

"He also has a d*ck" Someone whispered from behind, interrupting Mia and she became mute, I turned to see the intruder.

I giggled when i saw it was Raven and saw Mia dying in embarrassment.

"Do you have one?" Raven asked.

Mia shook her head slowly, her face already crimson.

"So...shut up, you guys are different afterall...but wait! You've really got balls if you're crushing on Carlos...I mean....Carlos?? He's too serious" Raven rolled her eyes.

"He's handsome too". Mia cooed.

"You're stupid". Raven spat.

"Stupid in love tho...I like your courage".

Mia smiled at Raven..."you...you just complimented me". She stuttered.

"I called you stupid".

"No...you said you like my courage".

"Whatever".

I was happy for both of them....soon enough, they'll start getting along...I just know it.

"Guys, I need your help". I spoke up..

They both turned to look at me...

"Are we kicking someone's ass?" Raven asked.

"Not really....i..i..want to meet with Central law firm's chairman". I said.

"Huh?" Mia stared at me like i had lost it.

"Why?" Raven asked, slightly surprised.

"I want to discuss with him... I'll tell you about it later". I said, scratching my head.

"You think meeting with CL firm's chairman is a piece of cake?" Raven asked, yet again.

"I know it's not... that's why I really need your help... since you're his niece."

"Aiden is his son". She said...

"I know...and he's one of the reasons i want to meet with the chairman".

************************************

5:00pm just after school....

Currently at the Emersons...

"Mia said she's at the railway station and she booked our seats." I told Raven in low tones.

"I thought your driver's taking us". She muttered.

"No... he's gonna suspect us and probably report to Mrs Sophie...I don't wanna risk that".

"I hate public transport". She mumbled.

"Sorry sweetie, you're gonna have to endure".

"Aissshhh!"

"Where are you guys going to?" I heard Aiden's voice and froze.

He descended the stairs and sank into the couch, staring at us.

"Out of course". Raven answered and I sighed in relief.

"Do you have your phone with you?" He asked her.

"What? are you planning on tracking us?" She asked in return.

He let out a scoff..."why would I bother?".

"My phone is with Annie... she's playing games".

"How about you?" He turned to me.

"Uh...yes" I waved my phone at him.

"What's your number?" He asked.

He might really track us...

This is not good...

"Um...one". I replied.

"No, your phone number". He said.

"Oh...it's an iPhone 12". I replied and Raven stifled a laughter beside me.

I looked at his face and knew he was slightly pissed.

"That's not what i mean dummy...how can i call you?" He asked.

"By my name....it's Bella..duh!"

I'm so loving the look on his face

"You're playing with me right now aren't you?" He asked with a scowl.

"Well...no, actually I'm heading out, but I really love playing snakes and ladders so... until I'm back?".

"Tch! How old are you?!" He growled at me.

"Since I'm born or since my last birthday?" I asked.

"No..since when are you this stupid?" He spat.

"Since i met you". I shrugged.

"That's it...". He stood up, approaching me.

I swallowed hard..My heart sped up and my smugly smile faded.

You should not anger him Bella.

He closed the gap between us, pinning me to the wall, i was trapped.

"Are you trying to piss me off?" He asked, huskily.

I shook my head quickly...

"Go easy on her..." Raven said.

"Mind your business". He replied, and faced me...his glare, back at me and his hot breath on my face.

"Give me your number".

What a great way to ask a girl for her number.

"No". I said, stubbornly and he leaned in much more closer...his face, barely touching mine.

My heart raced again and my eyes were widened as i gazed at him.

"Give it to me or I'm gonna kiss you" his lips curved into a smirk and I stared at his lips...my legs began to shake.

He scoffed at my reaction...

"I affect you this much?" He asked whispering in my ear and I swallowed. His breath tickled my ears.

I curled up my toes, hoping he would move away from me....he was doing things to my body...just by standing so close.

"So are you going to give me the number or...." He moved his lips closer to mine.

"Don't...don't..even..think about it.." I stuttered.

"Guysss...I'm still here, remember? Please find a room". Raven joshed.

He ignored her...

"You liked my kisses right? That's why you're scared if I kiss you again, you're surely gonna fall for me". He said, smugly.

You're wrong...

Nice job Mia...you've won!

Too late to deny the fact that I'm already attracted to a bad boy.

The truth is I'm not gonna fall...

When I've fallen already..

I'm in love with a bad boy yet again.

I'm in love with Aiden.
