I quickly held on to his neck. I was scared and laid my head on his chest, I then looked up and took notice of his pretty emerald irises. To say the truth he is also handsome, but he still annoys me. He then put me down slowly then that's when I realized he was tall, I've never been this close to him. No wonder he calls me Shorty.
"Why are you always clumsy Shorty? " He asked scolding me.
"Hey I never meant for it to happen, " I said looking away.
"Thanks_partner, " I said blushing. {Wait! Nic snap out of it! He's your enemy! } I thought to myself.
"I have to go, " I said walking away after picking my bag. Before that I noticed a smile from Liam. But I didn't mind it.
"So we'll talk later, " Frank said after walking Beatrice to her locker.
"Cool, " She state as she opened her locker, got out her bag and placed the other books inside. When she shut the metallic door, she found Frank still staring at her.
She then smiled revealing her teeth now making the braces to be visible. "What, why are you still looking at me? " She asked.
Frank just blinked then smiled back. "It's just we never talked and also I've never been this close to you, to notice how beautiful you are..." Frank confessed.
"You want my number but you just can't say it, " Beatrice state after being silent for a moment.
Frank felt a bit embarrassed. "Um, kind of, "
She just chuckled. "You are gonna have to do more than that, " She told him. "I have to go, " She added then walked pass him, as she smiled.
Frank was left there with a lot of astonishment. "Did she just turn me off? "
****
"Bestie want to have a snack with me? " Beatrice asked when she found me near the cafeteria's entrance.
I just smiled and nodded as I went to her direction. I placed my arm around her shoulder as we entered the cafeteria. "Wait was Frank hitting on you right now? " I asked curiously since I saw them as I waited for her.
Beatrice just smiled. "Kind of_he even tried asking me out, but I shut him off and I refused to give him my number, " She explained.
"What, why _you never told me you were hard to get bestie, " I said.
"I just feel like he should try harder than that," She said then giggled.
I just laughed.
At the canteen, we took club sodas, cookies, milk and Yourghut and some candies. We had the same things in common. Beatrice was a fan of junk but she still had a healthy body. She liked photos, she loved taking walks and she was very polite, kind and loving. We shared all our thoughts and we never kept secrets.

Later we were heading home, although Beatrice's home was far from ours and had a different route. She waved good bye and left for the gate. Before I could leave, I had to put my stuff back into my locker. The school Hall was quite empty when I was going out, but then suddenly_my crush!
"Nicole wait! " Kevin called from behind.
I then stood and waited for him. But my heart started pounding so hard.
He reached me then suggested;" Let's walk together, "
I couldn't stop myself from blushing.
"Okay, " I said then we headed for the school gate.
We were now walking at the walking lane.
"How about we know each other more, " He broke the silence, his hand behind his head and the other holding his bag.
"Of course, I wouldn't mind that, " I said.
"So where do you live? " Kevin asked.
"A bit near the big mall across the road, " I replied trying to avoid eye contact as I pocket my hands focusing on the lane.
"Wait_you live there to? " He asked looking flabbergasted. "I also live there, we're neighbours, since there are only few houses around that area... Jess and I never knew it... " He state.
I was also surprised about it. "We are just new to the town, I am from Texas, " I told him.
"Wait, is you mom called Sabrina? " He asked.
"Yeah, how did you know? " I asked.
"Um, my mom is Shantel, the one who welcomed you in our neighbourhood, they are friends and Montel is your brother's friend Victor, " He explained.
"This is crazy, they have met and we never met, how? " I asked feeling confused and at the same time enthusiastic.
"Now that we have met,can we also be friends," Kevin suggested.
I wouldn't mind so I agreed to it. We finally arrived to our neighbourhood.
"My home is right there, you can visit any time you like, " He said pointing to a big head white and grey house just like ours.
I just nodded and smiled at him. We then exchanged numbers and waved each other good bye.
I got in and found Victor sitting near the window and reading. He then closed his book and narrowed his gaze.
"What's up with you? " I asked him as I removed my sneakers and put on my flip flops.
"I knew it! " He shouted. "You have a boyfriend and it's Kevin! " He added then showed off a big smile.
I was flabbergasted, we just met today. I wanted to tell him that but he wasn't in the position to hear it, since he was heading to my mom's room.
"Mom! Come out I want to tell you something! " He shouted going up the stairs.
No I won't let him. I quickly ran after him. I then grabbed his shoulders."Victor, he's not my boyfriend, he is just a friend and we have just met today, so stop having this crazy ideas, "I explained.. He then calmed down.
My mother came out for the room holding her phone and she still had glasses on.
" What's with the shouting children? "She asked.
I quickly got up from the floor. " It's Victor he... Um...he just joined the football club, "I said.
Victor wondered how I knew. I saw his jersey with his name and number as I was cleaning his room yesterday.
" Wow! Hunny I am so proud of you, "mom said smiling.
I then looked at Victor, with his cute disappointed face. It was supposed to be a surprise, I guess but I uncovered it.
