The New Girl

Chapter 12: Issues

While am still blushing profusely, I run to my room to calm down. And Ella is there, lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. Her eyes were a little bit red and puffy, an indication that she must have cried a while ago. I remember my discussion with Vera today and decide to tell her.

"Hey girl I hope you aren't still upset" I say

"No I guess it was childish and stupid of me to do that" She says

"Don't beat yourself over it cause we are going" I say smiling

"What?" She asks shocked

"Yep and we are in it to win it" I say

"Wow for reals" She says excitedly

She was looking so excited but then it disappeared. A look of confusion and curiosity replacing it. She looks at me questionly.

"Why are you guys doing this?? I thought you didn't want to" She says

"We just thought it could be fun and plus if it makes you happy we will do it" I say

"Awwn thanks am gonna give Vera her own share of kisses and hugs when she comes" She says smiling

"Yeah am sure she will love them" I say sarcastically

She smiles and laughs. I love the way my friends were already used to my character, not lecturing me or gossiping about me behind my back. Telling me how to act or how I should be. Just me being me.

"Bella so why are you here now??" She asks

"Ooo nothing just felt like coming" I say nervously

"Mmmhhmm you and Vera are really beginning to hide stuff" She says curiously

"Hey am not hiding anything" I say

"Yeah right" She says rolling her eyes

"So what are we doing in the competition?" I ask

"I don't know yet when Vera comes we will decide" She says

I leave the room after some time and decide to go to the library. I have to admit ever since me and Andrew drew apart, I haven't really had someone to hang out with in my class. Am on my way, when someone comes up to me, Miss. Claudia.

"Miss. Bella how are you today?" She asks

"I am fine ma" I say nicely

"So how are you seeing the school??" She asks

What is wrong with this woman and that question

"Ma I still think it's okay" I say

"Good I hope it remains that way" She says

She is probably doing this for the money my dad is giving the school

My dad was actually really rich. He owned a couple of big industries around, he always had money. He always paid extra money for the school fee.

I know what a waste!!

He thought my teachers will like me more and he was right. But not the 'she's so smart, gorgeous and angel of the class' like. The 'her dad has money if you wanna get something take good care of her' type of like. And he has already started it here.

Maybe if mom was here things would have been better

I sit at the back, cause I was late and this was a new subject. I slide into a sit, thinking I was the latest when someone slips into the chair beside me. I look beside me to see a smirk on Jackson's face.

"Hey damsel" He says

"Hey you know you can stop calling me that" I say rolling my eyes

"What if I don't wanna??" He says

"Well I want you to stop it, else you are getting yours" I say threateningly

"Okay I wonder what the cute little damsel will call me" He says smirking

"You are asking for it" I say looking at him

I try to pout and look tough and mean. Thinking of a name for him, I rack my brain back and forth thinking of a name. Gosh!!! This is harder than I thought, or maybe it's because I just met him

"OK I wanna hear it" He says

"Alright I got nothing" I say defeated leaning into my chair

"Ha the damsel couldn't come up with anything" He says

"Hey no noise" says whosoever was teaching

"Okay damsel we will talk after class" He says

"Kk" I simply say

I stay till the end of class thinking about what Jackson was gonna tell me. I actually did enjoy his company, he was nice to talk to and seemed like a free person. He looks like those kind of boy best friends.

So they are going for the competition, who is as excited as me???

Hope you can tag along till the end, drop a vote and comment. Love ya and stay safe.
