? Adrian’s P.o.v?
Claribel ran off immediately she saw him,i didn’t know she would get so affected by him.
I ran after her,she suddenly stopped, I went closer to her.
I made her face me,she was crying, something that instantly made me angry.
“I only stopped running because i knew you would run after me and i didn’t want you to because i remembered the doctor said you shouldn’t do strenuous work” She said with tears in her eyes.
There was slience between us,i was still trying to comprehend the fact that she cried all because of that idi0t.
“Let’s go talk in a place more quiet”I said and she nodded.
I held her hands and took her to the back of Aaron’s house where i was sure nobody will interrupt us.
We sat on the pavement facing each other,she was still crying.
“Are you really crying because of him?”
“Why are you asking? Are you surprised?”
“I just never thought i would see you cry because of a guy”
She chuckled and looked away,i held her chin and made her face me.
“Do you love him?Do you love Dylan?”
“I..i think so”
“You think so?”
“He made me feel so special,he didn’t treat any girl the way he treated me,and i thought he liked me,that we had something going on”
“Has he ever asked you out?”
“No but i thought he would do it eventually,now i see him kssing another girl,not just any girl, it’s that b*tch called Audrey”
“Do you know the reason why he settled for Audrey?”
“Because she’s a b*tch and she seduced him” She said and i chuckled.
“You are almost right, Audrey is a b*tch but she didn’t seduce him,he wanted it.
I have seen him severally trying to kss you but you decline,so i think he decided to go for someone who would give everything he wanted”
“Well, that’s really stupid”
“In a way,it is not that stupid, if you say you like him like you say,why didn’t you kss him?”
“Because.. because..
“Claribel, it’s because you don’t really like him,you only like the feeling of someone treating you special, that’s all”
“I guess so”
“Now wipe those tears off those pretty eyes of yours and let’s get out of here”
“Can we go to that garden? I really want to be there”
“Of course, let’s go”

? Claribel’s P.o.v?
Adrian and I were at the garden,i already texted Shannon that i left and I told her why.
“What are you thinking about?”Adrian asked,he laid his head on my laps while i play with his hair.
“Nothing actually”
“Clary,i don’t want you to think about Dylan anymore,he doesn’t deserve you.
If he can’t see how much of a good person you are, then he’s stupid”.
“Thanks, Adrian, you really know how to make me happy”
“I like seeing you happy”
We didn’t say anything else, the garden was so quiet,Adrian closed his eyes and i took that time to admire his face.
I have to admit that he’s so handsome,no wonder girls flock around him but upon all that he’s not a player like the rest of them in school.
“I know am extremely handsome but can you please stop drooling over me?” He said with his eyes still closed,i flushed in embrassment
“How did you know i was staring at you?”
“I could feel your eyes boring holes in my face”
He sat up properly,then looked at the sky, then back at me.
“Come on, it’s late and we should probably get going”
He stood up and brought out his hand,i smiled at him, then i held his hands.
“You know you are the only guy that makes me smile genuinely”
“I know that,Baby girl” he said and my heart fluttered at the way he called me baby girl.
We got to the entrance of my house,i looked at the front door and sighed.
“Are you always scared of entering your house?”
“All the time, it’s like a haunted house in there” i said and we both laughed.
“Do you like ever think of running away from your problems..like a day of you not worrying about anything just yourself”
“All the time but i can’t,i have to be strong if i want to accomplish my dreams”
We stayed quiet and just stared at each other.
“I..i need to get going now, it’s late” He said as he stared at me intensely.
I looked away to stop the stupid feeling in my stomach.
“Okay,see you tomorrow” i said and tried to walk away but he held my hand.
“Can i get a hug?”He asked me, i smiled at him.
“Of course”
We hugged each other,my head laid on his chest, it’s like time stopped and none of us pulled away.
“Claribel”He called out
“Hmmm”
“Do you want to let go?”
“No”I said and he chuckled.
“Me too but we have to”He said and pulled away.
“Okay,bye”
I stood and watched as he drove off.

The Next Day.
I was looking through my locker,i got all my books ,i closed it and Audrey approached me.
“Hey, Claribel”
“What do you want? I don’t have time for your nonsense”
“I just wanted you to know that i and Dylan are now a couple”
“Okay,so? How does that affect me?”
“I know it affects you in a bad way because i saw you scurry off when you saw us kss” She said and i rolled my eyes.
“It might have affected me last night but now or ever,you can have him,You and i both know you only want him for money,you b*tchy gold digger”
“I swear i will…
“You will what?”Shannon asked as she approached us
“Audrey,if you try anything to hurt my bestie,i will make sure i rip off your fake plastic a*s”Shannon said and Audrey only scoffed and walked away.
“Thanks”
“Don’t mention,you are my bestie and i won’t let anyone treat you anyhow even that sick b@stard called Dylan”
“Am way over him..infact i don’t think i was ever attracted to him”
“Finally,you realized,i was waiting for to say that for a long time”She said and i giggled.
I was about to say something when i started gasps and murmuring.
?Oh my gosh,is that Dylan?
?Why does he look like that?
?Who beat him up so badly?
“What are they talking about?”Shannon asked,we started looking around,we gasps in shock at what we saw.
Dylan’s face was covered with bruises,he was badly injured,he had a black eye and a bursted lip.
“Woah,what happened to him?”Shannon asked.
He walked through the hallway, Everyone stared at him.
He came to where i and Shannon stood,i walked closer to him but he moved back in fear.
“Dylan, What’s wrong?”
“No, don’t come close to me,i don’t want any trouble, please”He said with fear all over his face.
Why is Dylan scared of me?And why was his face bruised?
He quickly walked away from the crowd.
“I wonder you beat him up”
“Whoever that person is,he did a good job”
“Shannon,i will be right back”
I walked away quickly before she could reply,i walked over to Adrian’s locker.
I saw him taking out his books,his knuckles were all red like he punched someone.
“Hey”i said sternly,he smiled at me.
“Hey,baby girl”
“We need to talk.. right now” i said and dragged his hand before he could respond.
I dragged him to the back of the school.
“Did you beat up Dylan?”
“Um.. I don’t know”
“What do you mean by you don’t know,did you do it or not?”
“Okay,fine,yes,i was the one who beat up Dylan,this morning he asked me why you and i were so close and he told me that i should you to him after am done scr*ewing you”.
“So the only thing you could think of was to punch him?”
“Yes, are you defending him?”
“No,am not,am only worried about you,what if he had hurt you?”
“Relax,Clary,Dylan can’t stand up for himself”
“Am serious, Adrian,what if he hit you on the chest and something bad happens to you or you were rushed to the hospital”
“Don’t worry,i will be fine”
“Don’t do that again, please” i said and hugged him so tight.
“I care about you alot,Adrian,i really do”
