I walked briskly down the street, trying to avoid him.

"Leah! Please, I can explain, let me explain!" He caught up with me, pulling my arm, i snatched my hand away from him, glaring at me.

"Don't touch me Hunter! Leave me alone!, if you think you going to play me, well sorry to tell you... You got the wrong girl!...  Rosalia! Am going home, meet me there!" I called out at Rosalia turning back to go home.
***********************************

I groan as I watch her walk away from me, Rosalia walks towards me, smiling at me.

"Rosalia can you please help me talk to your friend?" I sounded desperate.

"It's OK Hunter, she will come around... But she is angry though and whenever she is.. It's like an hurricane" she shrugs adjusting her purse strap on her shoulder.

"I wanted to tell her, but I never got the courage"

"Or you are scared that if she finds out about you, she won't love you for you but your money" she said quietly. My shoulder sags, as I run my hand through my disheveled hair.

"Yeah... That too"

"You should know she is not like that" her tone defensive for her friend.

"I know Rosalia, but when I found out- I don't know what to do anymore" she sighs. "You can't blame me Rosalia, all the girls I have ever been with are either with me for my money or status"

"Am gonna help you talk to her"

"Reall-"

"Yeah... But this time don't keep things away from her, she hates being in the dark"

"Thank you so much Rosa... I owe you a lot" I thanked her,very happy with her help. She waves me off walking towards her car where Leah is busy fuming. I sigh, God please... I don't want to lose this gem. Those paparazzi are gonna get it!.

I was in the living room reading through a book even though my mind was not there, when the door was abruptly opened, i look up as Max walks in throwing his backpack at a corner.

"Hi"

"Hi"

"You still wearing those glasses?" He asks gesturing at my big nerdy reading glass. I nod as he raise my legs that were on the sofa, he sat in the same position, putting my legs on his lap.

"How was school today?" I asked sitting up looking at him. He rests his head closing his eyes then he shrugs.

"Same... Boring and full of annoying people and frustrated teachers" he says as I giggle at his words, he smiles. "How was work today?" He asked me, which got me surprised, he is in a good mood today.

"What did you say?" he opened his eyes, his green orbs staring at me.

"How was work- let rephrase that how was your day?" He sits up.

"Matt why are you not wearing your necklace again?"

"Uhn... Why are you calling me Matt" he questions getting confused.

"Why won't I? I mean you just asked me about my day, and when last have you done that, three months ago" he groans.

"You have been counting"

"Yeah... Since you have started changing" he shakes his head.

"Leah, i may be a jerk, but I care about you,OK" he says.
