ANDREA POV
“Of course it still stands, the more the merrier” Beatrice said as she brought me back to reality
“Of course Max, Jack you can join us “Brenda added as they walked back to us.
“It’s a good thing that you guys are joining in, I kind of felt somehow that am the only guy amongst them” Geoffrey said
“But wait! Why do you two look serious and why are you towering over Andrea, you might just scare the poor thing” Geoffrey said as he pulled me
“I will be in charge of Andrea while you two should just pick a guy,It’s now a three some”Geoffrey said as he pulled me off
I paid all my attention at Geoffrey, I didn’t
Feel like talking to Max or Jack.
Max especially, he had been cold towards me this morning, so why is he suddenly being friendly today, I thought as I kept on laughing to the jokes that Geoffrey cracked
“Mind if I joined you guys?”Jack said as he came to walk beside me
” We do mind, so go away!” Geoffrey said and the look Jack gave him shrink a bit
“Just leave us alone Jack, am having fun with just Geoffrey, don’t come and ruin it”I said and i thought that won’t make him leave us alone but it did.
We finally got to the karaoke bar and while the guys chose a room, we went to get ourselves something to drink.
While buying the drink, I didn’t notice Erica and her friends who walked past us.
A room was given to us and as soon as we got in, the party began
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 21 – 30
MAX POV
I sat on the chair, watching the others take a mic to sing.
Andrea sang every song being displayed, it’s like she knows all the songs, I thought as I kept on watching her dance.
Though she was here somehow, she was kind of far to me
She doesn’t want to talk to me, the little we have managed to say was just for her to be careful.
Her attitude was quite different ever since she asked me if I wanted to come to the karaoke.
Yes I had been quite furious earlier and that’s because I keep seeing Jack around her and that pisses me off.
This morning I had waited for her by the gate only to find out that she has gotten to school
I was quite angry and maybe that’s why I treated her so coldly, seems like I am the one being given a cold shoulder now I thought as I stared at Andrea who kept swaying to the rhythm of the music.
I found myself watching only her, she kept singing and kept dancing and I won’t deny that she looks very beautiful and hot
As always I found my heart beating faster than usual and that always happens each time I am around her.
That night at the field, I won’t deny that I felt tempted to kiss her but I stopped and instead sneezed on her face.
No girl has ever made me feel the way she makes me feel, not even Rose, I thought as I kept on staring at her.
“Hey what’s wrong with your face, it’s all red, Is something wrong?”Geoffrey asked beside me and knowing that it was entirely up to a different issue, I stood up and left the room feeling so embarrassed.
I stayed outside trying to calm my flustered face and the fast beating of my heart .
Just what’s wrong with me, have never acted this way, each time I am around a girl so why now Andrea, even that Geoffrey can notice what’s wrong with me, I thought.
” A r©mance song, it should be about love, a song about our love for each other ” a girl said as she walked past me with a guy.
I smiled at seeing the expression the guy had on his face but what caught my attention the most was the girl who was with him.
She looks so familiar, where have I seen her before, I thought as I kept on staring at them.
Just then Andrea walked out and when she saw me the smile she had on her face died, she moved past me but I caught her hand and that made her stop.
“Why have you been avoiding me?”I asked
“Have I?”she asked
“Yes and you are being cold to me” I said
“You were the one cold to me this after noon,am just paying you back in kind” she said
“Okay I had been a total jerk when you came to ask me about going to the karaoke, I had treated you coldly and that’s because I………..” I stopped mid way.
I can’t believe that I just wanted to tell her that I was cold because I was jealous of Jack.
“You what?” She asked waiting for a reply
“Mom and I had an argument and you know how I get when am around her” I said and she sighed gently taking my hand in hers
“You shouldn’t be fighting with your mother, I think that whatever issue you two are going through should be talked about ” she said
“I know and I think we will someday” I lied to
I don’t think a day will ever come that I would want to stay around my mom.
“So have I been forgiven for what happened earlier?”I asked
“You have been forgiven, you should smile more often, it makes you look cute”She said giving me a smile too
” I need to go to the restroom, I will back soon” she said as she walked off
I stood watching her until she left my sight, I smiled gently.
It’s been a while since I have smiled but ever since she came into my life, I have been smiling all the time.
What’s wrong with cold hearted Max today, I should keep up with my cold personality.
Andrea will be the one I never show a cold shoulder
She has gone through a lot at her former school, those bullies had been………..I stopped when something came to me
The girl that I had seen earlier who looked familiar was none other than one of the bullies who was bullying Andrea on the rooftop.
And she had passed through the same path that Andrea had gone pass earlier, they will both see each other and that will be poor torture for Andrea.
Without further thinking, I ran off in search of her.

ANDREA POV
I stood in the restroom washing my hand while I humed to a music
I felt happy knowing that Max and I have made up
But why should I be happy about that ? It’s not like we are that close, I kept on thinking and just then the door opened revealing a couple kssing.
At first I was shocked that a girl could bring in a guy to the ladies rest room just to have sx but then i was more shocked when the couple looked up at me and I saw that it was none other Erica.
