Chapter 21 - SCHEME

Angie: ( sigh for the fifth time) Will you keep holding unto me or you let go

Hazel: ( disengage immediately and let go with a bright smile look up at him) can't help it, it's comfortable hugging you and i love your scent

Angie: scent

Hazel: yeah ( hold his wrist and took him in) I discover what it is, Lillies, that's your natural scent. My sweet Lily ( thought of this last part)

Angie: strange, i never noticed ( settled beside her on their seats)

Hazel: So i want to hear all about it, about that girl

Angie: Ashley?

Hazel: Yes, is she really your bethroned?

Angie: No, i mean Yes but it's just a child talk which turned serious and involving our parents but i don't feel anything for her, she is just a friend

Hazel: childhood friend?

Angie: Yes

Hazel: But seems your parents want her to... ( twirling her fingers playfully)

Angie: No, my parents won't force me to do what i don't want, i just want her to understand that but she is being stubborn

Hazel: ( hearing this info, her face brighten more than before) That's great!, you made a good decision, no one can force you to do what you don't want hehehe ( laugh out tap his shoulder in accordance, Angie didn't understand why she is being suddenly so happy for just then the door opened with students flocking in, Rex and the two came in last flash a gaze at the two as usual but this time she took the initiative remembering her own mission) Hi

Rex: ( stop right in his step hearing that so is others as the students also suprise hearing that)

Hazel: what, i said hi, i expected you to answer and if not don't glare ( remembering since the school has resumed no one talk about the pit incident and seem Angie know anything about him helping, like it has always happens, he help him once but later brush it off as if nothing happened without Angie knowing)

Rex: ( gaze from Angie to her) Hi ( said simply and head to his seat, him answering stun the students as eyes tail him till he is at his seat)

Ashton: what was that man

Asher: you just answered her greeting

Rex: ( shrugged) I just feel like ( settled back eye glue at a certain back)

Angie: you just.....

Hazel: Greeted him, i just feel like and he actually answered do you see that ( face brighten look back towards Rex direction)

Angie: ( sigh seeing her expression for some reason her smiling face when Rex helped her out of the water flash back his memory but brush it off before bringing out a pen and concentratd in scribbling away in his note)

Hazel: ( notice the silence beside her look aside seeing him scribbling away) Angie ( got no answer and when she made to get his attention, he just reflexly move his hand away)

Angie: Am busy hazel, don't disturb me ( stated without looking at her)

LUNCH BREAK

Hazel: ( it was quiet between the two all through the class noticing Angie gaze not even with her wonder what was wrong and ask him to go to the cafeteria as usual)

Angie: Alright but i mean it when I said i don't want anything this time

Hazel: ( eye brighten for the fact that he agreed) Alright! ( took him to the cafeteria and settled him down head to take her order saw Ashley standing there also stating her order not minding her place her order and was given but when she turn back halt in her step, she didn't know when Ashley pass her back but now she is sitted on the seat meant for her facing Angie as she was talking about something and giggling, with Angie not minding her but not making her leave to uhmmp as eyes trail to a group of three boys save for one sit that is available head there as eye tail her, also a certain silvery eye tail her seeing her sitted with them just look on with a mix expression)

Sadie: That bitch, how could she just sit there, who told her she could sit there!

Ruddy: she is bold

Hazel: ( settled beside Ashton but facing Rex and Asher who they are also suprise) Am here to eat in peace so don't glare, if you don't find it comfortable sitting with an ugly duckling you can leave ( said sharply getting pissed already knowing that girl is sitted on her seat)

Asher: ( cleared his throat seeing Rex not sending her away nor is he leaving) so... were you just born this way or a kind of fire incident ( ask the question he had been wanting to ask exchange gaze with the others)

Hazel: Do i look so hideous? ( look straight at him)

Asher: Apologies but Yes

Hazel: ( shrugged, didn't seem to be affected but learn only Angie calling her ugly do affect her) I was born this way, no biggie

Rex: tssk, no biggie, your face is the worstest thing i have ever seen

Hazel: Thanks for the comments, you are welcome

( All seeing she isn't affected by their word to chase her away or cower in saddness work they could only shut up)

Hazel: ( felt Ashton sigh beside her look aside at him) what lovesick?

Ashton: lovesick?

Hazel: don't start acting, I know all about it

Asher: Know what

Hazel: He didn't tell you or you never noticed, he likes Kenzie and there is no way she is giving it a chance ( munch on her food)

( Both Rex and Asher look towards Ashton with a eye " is that true")

Ashton: ( only look aside at hazel incredulously) And how did you know

Hazel: it's obvious, you keep staring at her at the airport the other day like a freak and at the pool party

Ashton: Then you can help me ( received a suprise look from the two but didn't care)

Hazel: No way am i giving my friend to you and she didn't like you that way so give up

Ashton: I can't cus am being serious ( sigh and continue eating afterward)

Hazel: And what will you do about her brother, you bully him

Asher: we don't bully him okay as if anyone dare to ( chip in not getting why she is with the mindset that they are bullies)

Hazel: Then what do you do

Rex: it's non of your business ( included all silent afterward)

Hazel: hehe ( chuckle in) at least i got something and i won't stop until i know the full story ( in thought as a smile crept her face
