BELLA P. O. V.

The look on his Mother's face was disgusting that I wished the ground could open and swallow me. The worst part is the evil smirk his ex was giving me.
"This thing, your girlfriend"? She asked ,pointing at me making me feel more embarrassed.
" Mum".
" What of Bella"?
"She broke up with me".
"So you decide to replace her with this"?
" Aunty, please let go inside, don't make a scene". Bella said
" You have to make me understand better". She said and went inside while Bella followed.
Nick went to his bike and i followed him, he drive in silence till he get to my place.
"I'm sorry". He managed to mutter, as I climb down from the motorcycle.
"It's ok". I said and ran inside, although it's not ok.

I drive home angrily with intentions to go confront mum, when i get home i met Mike outside.
"Dude what's up"? He ask
"Is Mum in"?
"Yes, she is inside with Bella. I wonder what that girl problem is".
I ignored him and went inside angrily
" Mum".
" You are back".
" I don't like the way you talk to my girlfriend earlier" . I said unsure of what made me angry.
" Are you shouting at your mother because of baggy"? Bella shout.
" Stay out of this".
" Son will you lower your voice".
"Mum you have no reason to interfere with my personal life, I date whoever pleases me. You disrespected my woman and i don't like it".
" Oh my God over that ugly thing".
" Ugly thing or not she is my choice".
" That thing your choice"?
" Wha-" i was saying but Mike cut in .
"…-enough man let's go upstairs". With that he dragged me to my room
" Man what's all that"?
"I was only carried away"
" What happened"?
I narrate the event that happened earlier and his sad expression surprised me
" How is she"?
" Hurt". I replied and with that we both remain silent.

The following day i went to Courtney house and we both walk to school together. When we get to school, Nick walk up to us carrying a bunch of flowers.
"Hi baby". He embraced me and Courtney widen her eyes surprised, everyone passing by stopped with mouth opened agape. He disengaged and gave the flowers to me. I saw his girlfriend and her friends also watching
"Why is he being so romantic when everything is supposed to be fake, did he want you to fall in love"? My subconscious ask but i have no answer to that because the truth is. am already in love.
"Am so sorry about yesterday". He whispered in my ear and I gave him a meek smile.
"Let's go". He said and placed his hand around my waist and we both walk to class together.
"Oh my God this can't be real, they are indeed dating".
"She is a new transferred student how is it possible "?
"Have they met before"?
"Is it an arranged relationship "?
I heard some of the students muttered loud enough for us to hear as we passed by.
"Hi Nick". A girl from another class called blocking our path.
"What"? He ask sounding a little rude.
"Is she really your girlfriend ?" The girl asked.
"Why? Did it seems like she is my wife"? He ask and the mention of wife gave me goosebumps and everyone opened their mouth agape. I have never seen him that front before.
"Well, baggy just transferred here few weeks ago and you suddenly started dating". The girl said and I have to applaud her courage to keep on asking questions like a reporter even though she is being snubbed.
"How is that your business? Are you a relationship counselor? Even if you are, keep it because I didn't seek it. I date whoever pleases me even if we only met in a blink. And mind you her name is Bella not baggy". He said and lead me away leaving everyone in shock. At that point I wish everything is real so I can applaud him and give him a big kiss for standing up for us but NO it's all fake and all i could do is smile controlling my fluttering heart.
"I guess he has a thing for that name". I heard someone mutter.
During classes Courtney won't stop bugging me about the drama that happened and I was forced to lie to her that Nick and I are dating and she was surprised beyond mentions.
"This is a big catch". She almost shout.
She ask so many questions but I was able to avoid them with other things thankfully she didn't return to it.
When school dismissed, Courtney forced me to take pictures in the school garden and i was awed with how it comes out.
"Wow you are so photogenic".
"Thank you".
" By the time we upload this pictures on Facebook your account will be filled with so many friend request"
She upload the pictures and teach me how it works, she also introduced WhatsApp and Wattpad to me. She explain to me that only my contacts appear on whatsapp and truly only her number and my parents number are there but i realised that dad other number isn't there. I ask her the reason and she explain how it works to me. She introduced me to many social app but i prefer just WhatsApp and Wattpad since i can read on Wattpad and can chat with dad on WhatsApp.
When i get home, i sent dad a message on WhatsApp and logged in to facebook to accept many friend request.

In the hospital, Mike and i went to visit Jason who is about to be discharged.
"How are you and Bella"? He ask.
"You mean my ex"?
" Yes".
" I don't know, i have been playing couple with baggy but i don't think it will help in any way".
" What do you plan to do then"? Mike ask.
" Still waiting, if Bella don't come back i will cut the deal with baggy after my birthday".
" What is loveable about Bella to begin with ? There are countless of beautiful girls in school and around but you choose one who doesn't care about your feelings. You are still young for all this man, if one girl refuses, you ought to go for another before getting a wife material when the time is right".
" Mike come on that's not fair".
" Nothing is fair Jason. Nick is making that girl feel too special and that's why she toys with his feelings. I have one advise for you Nick, when you cut the deal with baggy forget about Bella and move on with your life. I don't have a girlfriend, I'm single and I'm healthy".
" Mike stop all this". Jason caution.
I sniff in already emotional, i know everything Mike said is truth but it's difficult to accept.
" I don't know buddy, i want to forget Bella, i want to move on with my life. But each time i try, my mind always go back to her" . I cried. I don't have to hide my emotions whenever am with them.
" Mike you see what you cause".
"I'm sorry Nick, I'm sorry if i over react, but I'm only concerned for you, i don't like the way Bella toys with your feelings". He said feeling regretful.
" I understand Mike but am more angry with myself, i don't know why i choose to love Bella in this stage of my life".
" Buddy you have to hold on to one thing, if you and Bella are meant to be, sooner or later she will come back to you. But you must never go to beg or talk to her".Jason advised.
" Thank you, i don't know how i will have handle this without you two".
" What are friends for". They both chorused.
