The following day, I didn't follow the bus to school and walk all the way to Courtney house and met her outside the gate.
"Hi Courtney".
"Oh dear, I was almost convince that you followed the bus". She said and held my hands together we walked to school talking about random stuffs.
When we get to school, she went to her locker and insist i follow and together we walk to class.
"Here input your number". I said giving my phone to her.
"Wow you finally brought your phone to school". She said after collecting the phone and started scrolling through it. "You have no apps"
"No, there are the internal apps".
"My Mum, Irreplaceable Daddy, Irreplaceable Dad, you have just your parents contacts on your phone".
"Yes add yours".
"You are not on any social media".
"Yes".
"Why"? She ask.
"I think my books are enough to keep me company".
"Oh dear, social media is not only about keeping company, but also helps you get access to know different kinds of people and mingle with people from different places".
"Oh! I never gave that a thought".
"I have no relatives or friends in Countryside but I met a friend on social media and we become really close. I spent 3 days of my last summer at her place in Countryside". She added.
"Wow, and you guys only met on social m*dia"?
"Yes dear".
The teacher came in and she hurried to her seat.
During classes, I keep wondering why I didn't see Nick neither his friends in school, during recess I went out and sighted him coming from the staff-room on a casual wear.
"Nick" I called and walked up to him excusing myself from Courtney.
"Bella". He called and embrace me. I was taken aback at first then i remembered our deal but the question is "why are we on stage when his girlfriend isn't around"?
"What happen? Why are you not on your uniform"?
"Something came up, Jason and Mike get involved in an accid*nt".
"OMG". I exclaimed. "How are they now"?
"Mike has minor injuries and he is already fine but Jason is still in critical condition".
"Oh My God". Was all I could say.
"I will be on my way now". He said and continue on his way.
I felt someone tap me hard already furious i turned and see it's Courtney.
"You startled me".
"You surprised me". She replied.
"How"?
"You didn't tell me about you and Nick".
"That"? I ask knowingly and wanted to tell her about the deal I have with Nick but I remembered he told me to keep it a secret between us.
"Stop playing d*mb". She teased.
"Nick and I are just friends".
"Awwww... Just friends". She giggled.
"Come on let's go ".I said and dragged her with me.
"I love the sound of that, just friends, the hugging dockey just friends". She sang teasingly.
When school dismissed we walk out of the gate holding hands as we walk home.
"Bella is it alright for me to come over to your place so we can work on our assignment together"?
"Sure".
"Oh! Thanks dear".
We happily walk to my house together and I show her to my room.
"Wow you have so many books" she said admiring my little library.
"These are just part, many is still in the box". I replied and change into an oversized boxer and shirt. I brought out my note and textbook ready to start working on our assignment but Courtney was busy with my phone.
"Hey what are you doing with that"? I ask.
"I just installed some apps in your phone and am creating a facebook account for you".
"You shouldn't have bothered, you know we still have to work on our assignment". I complained.
"Relax Bella, we have all day to ourselves".
"Holy sh!t." I muttered within my breath.

She ask me few questions about myself like my birthday, hobbies and many more which made me wonder what facebook need all those information for.
"And here the account is created". She said and gave me my phone. I watched what is displaying on the screen without uttering a word.
"Now we need pictures, too bad you have no pictures in your gallery". She complained.
"Why did you need my picture"?
"To complete the account, you have to upload at least a profile picture".
"Forget that".
"Why"?
"I hate taking pictures".
"Why"?
"Nothing, i only take pictures occasionally". I replied. And the occasion came just twice whenever we need to take a family picture. My parents know I hate taking pictures so they never forced me expect when it's necessary i feel am not going to look good in pictures even though the family pictures always comes out well but it never convince me.
"Fine I know what to do". She said.
"Let's start our assignment". I said hoping that helps change the topic.
"No let's eat first". She shout making me laugh.
We went to the kitchen and prepare lunch together when it's ready we returned back to my room to eat.
"Oh, Bella, you might be bad in dressing but you are a good cook". She comment with mouth full of rice. "Tomorrow, I will make sure to take a picture of you with your uniform since that seems to be the only dress you fit". She said unknown to her that I have many fitted outfits in my closet.
