ANDREA POV
“What do you say Andrea, can we be friends” Rose asked waiting for my answer
She somehow seemed sincere though am still feeling doubtful of her
“Please just say yes, I really want to be your friend, I mean it”She said as she took my hand in hers
“Fine then, I accept to be your friend”i replied and she gave me a tight hug
“Thanks Andrea” she said again and left the restroom.
Why do I feel that I have just made a big mistake?
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 21 – 30
***********************
As soon as I got to the cafe, I booked a space for the five of us, that is if Brenda and Beatrice managed to convince Max and Jack.
While I was waiting, I brought out my book to Read because I still can’t get rid of the thought that Rose and Max will end up together.
I was still reading when they arrived, I turned to see Beatrice and Brenda, along with Max Jack and Geoffrey , seems like they managed to convince them and they also brought Geoffrey too, I thought as I gave them a welcoming smile
“Welcome”I said as they all took their seats.
With Max and Geoffrey beside me, the others sat together.
While Beatrice and Brenda seeked Jack attention, Max gave Geoffrey and I his
He began by telling us some formulas and then into some calculations.
He was so deep in his work that he didn’t notice me staring at him instead of what he was teaching me.
I found myself outlining every of his face, his eyebrows and lashes were beautiful,he had a nose that so many girl will die for and then his lips, his lips were just so perfect, everything about him is , I thought to myself
Just then he looked at me and I found myself getting mesmerised by that beautiful blue eyes of his, why didn’t I ever notice this before I thought as I stared at him
“Is something wrong Andrea, you have been staring at me for a long time” he said and that brought me back to reality.
I turned to see everyone staring at me.
“It’s nothing, shall we continue”I said quickly as I faced my book
“Why is your face red Andrea?”Geoffrey asked
“Red? I don’t think so”I replied as I touched my face
“But it is red, what’s wrong with you Andrea ?”Beatrice asked
“I’m just feeling hot, I will use the restroom”I said as I left the table In a rush.
It took me a while before I came back to being normal.
What is wrong with me? I thought as I stared at the glass.
“Hey Andrea, are you alright?” Beatrice asked as she walked in
“Yes I am”I replied
“You are acting strange. Hope nothing is happening at home?”She asked
“Nothing is happening at home and am alright” I answered
“That’s good then”she said as she washed her hand
“Beatrice, a friend of mine asked me this question and I want to know what you think of it?”I said
“Go ahead and tell me”Beatrice said
“Well she said she met this guy, he is very handsome and if she is around him, her heart will always beat fast, faster than the normal beat of someone’s Heart, she also says that she will feel hot and would blush a bit and also…………”
“Say no more Andrea, your friend is Inlove with that guy “She said
“What!!!”
“Her heart beats fast, she feels hot and also feels something like butterflies in her stomach right? Those are signs of some one Love, tell your friend that she shouldn’t waste time and that she should tell the guy that she loves him”She said
“And before I forget, The only method we used in convincing Max to come is that you were here, he didn’t want to come at first but when we told him that you needed his help, he changed his mind, that guy is such a pain in the ass”
“Hurry and come back to the table, the atmosphere is somehow tense with having those two guys together”She added as she left the restroom
I can’t believe that I am Inlove with Max, no! Beatrice could just be wrong about it,I tried to convince myself.
But remembering all the things he did for me and how I always feel around him made me realise that I was really in love with Max.
Have always wondered when I will meet a guy who I will fall madly in love with but I never thought that it would be with Max.
Why did it have to be with Max, I thought as I put my hand on my chest.
I got out of the rest room only to bump into someone
“Oh sorry”I said only to see the guy who had been with Erica at the karaoke bar yesterday
“You! I can’t believe that am meeting you here again”he said while his friends kept ogling at me
“That stupid friend of yours had punched me ,he had touched me, do you know that I had to go through pain the whole night” he said
“I need to leave “I said as I tried to move past him but he pushed me back
“Do you think I will let you go ?”he yelled at me
“Your stupid friend made me look like a fool infront of my girlfriend, he made me suffer pain through the night and for that some one has to pay and that will be you ” he said as he pull my arm
“No let me go, let me go”I said but they were already pulling me out of the cafe
What am I going to do, who is going to save me, I thought of all this as I was being dragged off
I need you Max, I really need you, I thought softly.

MAX POV
It’s been a while since Andrea has left for the rest room and she isn’t back yet, I thought as I pushed my book aside.
“So after our first session of the reading group, should we all go out to party”Geoffrey asked
“Sure”the other agreed except for me
“When last have you guys seen Andrea?”I asked
“I just left her in the restroom,she said she will be out soon” Beatrice answered
“I think something is wrong?” I said as I stood up and went into the rest room to look for her and there was no one.
I turned only to see Jack behind me, “is she here?”he asked
“No”I replied as I went outside with Jack and the rest trailing after me .
Where could she have gone to? I thought and just then we heard a scream.
Quickly I ran to where the noise was coming from only to see Andrea being forced into a car by some guys.
Feeling so angry,I rushed towards them and pulled the one forcing Andrea into the car and punched him hard on the face.
The second guy came at me and I punched him too
I looked up and saw Jack already hitting the one by the steering wheel.
Andrea was already drawn away by Beatrice and the others.
“Who are you to meddle”one of the guys came at me again and I kicked him that he fell down
“You were the ba$tard bullying her yesterday and now you have come for more right?’Jack said as he punched a guy
Knowing that he bullied Andrea made me feel so furious.
I pushed jack away and began to punch his face
I kept on hitting even when there was blood on my hand, I didn’t stop
“Max let him go” they kept on saying behind me but I didn’t stop
“Max please stop”on hearing Andrea voice I stopped and stared at her
She shakes her head begging me stop silently
I got up from the guy and went to her, giving her a tight hug.
