Trouble St.

Chapter 23 ------------------- Problem solved or Problem created

"I kind of invited Alfred, I hope you guys don't mind." Angela exclaimed. She probably noticed the tension in the air. I only gave Ann a small smile. Soon enough, my friends started to engage in a long conversation. Why did i come again? Oh yeah, ironically, to take a break. As heard my friends joking and laughing around with Alfred, i felt tensed up. Why did i feel so awkward around him now?

'Maybe because he tried to kiss you but ended up face on the ground with deep cuts and a bruise.' The manipulating conscience reminded me. If my conscience was a person, i would so be happy in punching it right now.

Before long, I was daydreaming in my own world and not listening to anything around me. It was if my body was here but my mind was definitely somewhere else. I finally heard something interesting and started paying attention to the people next to me.

"So Alfred, how did you get that bruise? Did i miss any exciting fights?" Zaynab questioned with a chuckle.

Everyone else chuckled too as I forward leaned into my seat, eager to know how Alfred was going to answer this. I guess Ann and Zay also wanted to know badly too as they were also staring at Alfred for answers. I couldn't help but stare as well. Was he going to tell them? Or was he going to lie? Questions were racing through my head without their answers.

The blonde gazed at me with worry and i only stared back. He probably knew i didn't want anyone to know now as i gave him a frown and put my head down. As soon as i gave him this sign, he turned to the direction of my friends.

'Please don't say anything, please don't say anything!' I chanted in my head over and over again.

If my friends were going to find out, i would be more happy told by me. I wasn't ready to just spill everything. It was something that i felt unsure and terrible about. It would be hard to tell them a boy nearly kissed me and that boy was Alfred. However i was just thankful that it didn't happen. Honestly i don't know what i would if it did happen. I sighed, there was no point in dwelling in the past especially if it didn't happy. I need to tell my friends sooner or later anyway.

I took deep breaths as i waited for what Alfred had to say. He took a long heavy breath before he started to talk.

"Well I was riding my motorcycle and being the klutz I am, I fell." Alfred confessed. Wow, he was a good liar. He manged to tell that off without hesitation.

I felt myself relax and sigh of relief. I only did notice that I was holding my breath the whole time. Wait, Alfred rides a motorcycle? Well you learn something new everyday.

Angela and Zaynab both nodded in response as I sat still not knowing what to say or do. Suddenly Zay lifted herself up for her seat and grabbed Angela's arm.

"Ann, can you come and help me fix my hair?" She asked Angela and at first Ann had a confused look on her face but I quickly noticed it changed into a grin.

"Your hair is fine Zay." I commented but she rapidly shook her head as she tugged on Angela's arm more.

Then it hit me. I knew what they were going to do. They weren't going to do that again to me? However because I could declare the answer, they both gone heading to bathroom. They did do it to me again...

I was alone with Alfred. Couldn't they stop tying to leave me alone with him? The last time that happened, it didn't end so well.

An awkward silence fell between me and Alfred as we sat opposite each other doing nothing. I looked down not daring to look at Alfred in the again. I looked back to check if Ann or Zay were spying on us again, once i was sure they weren't, i turned back to Alfred. I might as welll get over with it now.
