Nolan had almost gotten where they were standing when he saw a girl come in between Jackson and Nancy.
He stopped and watched.
"Who are you and why are you being all dumb to Nancy? What do you want?", Jada asked, scowling at Jackson who was curious about who she was.
Nancy was not expecting to see Jada at that moment, not even around her school, she stood behind the girl and still could see Jackson's crabby face.
"We are just having a conversation, and who are you? I don't think you belong to Westwood, I know almost everyone in school so where did you appear from?", Jackson asked while folding his arms.
Jada smirked and glanced around.
"There are enough people outside to witness you being beaten up by a girl, I bet it would be a great topic tomorrow… you are not all handsome I bet after I mess with your face, you will look uglier", Jada threatened.
Jackson felt a bit scared as the girl's face did not look like she was joking, he turned and saw his friends also staring intensely.
He smiled to cover up his defeat.
"You know, you are lucky I am in a great mood today… count yourself lucky", Jackson said before turning to leave.
Jada's eyes were unengaged as she watched him take the walk of shame away from them.
Stacy walked towards Nolan who had been standing and watching from a few feet, she touched his shoulder and stared at Nancy, wondering who she was and why Nolan left her.
"Come on, we are meant to be going out", she said and pulled him with her.
Jada turned to Nancy who was already smiling.
"Girl you should have given him a punch in his nose… guys like that irritate me, I bet he gets his a** beaten at home and then comes to school to bully", Jada said while pulling out a lollipop off her backpack.
"I picked the best flavor", she said while handing it over to Nancy.
"I was not expecting you to come… you did not text me either, you are crazy", Nancy said as she unwrapped the lollipop and stuck it in her mouth.
The two girls walked away from the school premises.
"Wanted to surprise you until I saw the tall dumbo trying to bully you", Jada answered.
"No one can bully me, I just want to keep a low profile all through my stay here… I am avoiding trouble at….." words got lost in Nancy's mouth as soon as the corner of her eye saw Nolan driving past her.
She turned her head and watched him drive away, with a girl laughing and sitting in his car.
Nancy kept walking as she watched him drive off, her heart did not beat fast this time, it felt weird, was it the fact that Nolan had a girl in his car and had gotten jealous, or that he was a playboy and she had started liking him which is not healthy for her.
Should she like this guy who has a lot of girls around him and probably sleeps around with them, Nancy thought as she had forgotten she was talking to her friend.
Jada stood in front of her and this caught Nancy's attention immediately.
She looked at her friend who raised her eyebrows at her.
"What?", Nancy asked while giggling, trying to act normal.
Jada folded her arms and stared at her, "What is it? Who is that guy you had watched till his car disappeared? He obviously is someone you know isn't it", she curiously asked, searching Nancy's eyes.
Nancy knew her facial expression on seeing Nolan had betrayed her, there was no way out of it now, she had to tell her friend the truth.
"Okay… so the story is a bit embarrassing", Nancy answered as they kept walking.
"So yesterday I met him in the bathroom. Male bathroom! Don't ask me why! I didn't understand why I didn't check the sign before going in".
Jada snorted, "What! You entered the male bathroom? Did you see his… you know! Is it big?".
"Jada!", Nancy laughed out.
"Okay okay... Keep going I will shut up, I am so Interested in this story", Jada said.
Nancy sighed as she kept going.
"We met in the male bathroom and no I didn't see anything, he just told me I entered the wrong bathroom! It is all Emma and Jasmine's fault for messing with my hair and face, would not have been as embarrassed as I was yesterday", Nancy said, her upper lips pulled up as she remembered how the two boys had entered the bathroom after she came out and how she ran out of shame.
"Well you would not have met him if that didn't happen so it all happened for a reason, right!", Jada said.
Nancy knew Jada was right, but she smirked and shook her head.
"Met him again last night at the party…", she added.
Jada looked at Nancy and saw her erubescence face. She stopped walking and gasped, covering her mouth with her palms.
"Nancy! Girl!!! You like him! You really like him! Look at your face", Jada yelled out.
Nancy glanced around, "Don't be so loud! Someone might hear, I don't know ok? He seems like a playboy but…. " she paused as she remembered how he looked at her. "The way he looks at me, it feels so real", she added and looked at her friend.
Jada's face lightened up, she could not stop smiling at her friend.
The honking of the car behind them caught their attention, they both turned and saw Tara waving at them, she took off her glasses and stood up from her roofless car.
"Did someone call the taxi?", Tara said smiling at her friends who had immediately approached her car.
"Tara!!", Jada exclaimed.
"Hey Tara", Nancy said.
"So what is going on, what is new?", Tara said as she started the engine as soon as her friends got in.
"Nancy", Jada answered without hesitation.
Tara who had put on her glasses turned her head to Jada who had sat next to her and then turned her head back for a quick glance at Nancy.
"Nancy? What about Nancy", she asked as she kept driving.
"Oh my God, Jada", Nancy laughed.
"Tell me please, what is it?", Tara eagerly begged for the hot news.
"She is in love!".
