? Claribel’s P.o.v?
After i and Shannon reconciled,we went to school together.
“So where’s Adrian?” She asked as we walked through the hallway.
“I don’t know, he just dropped me off and left”
“Maybe he is with Isaac”
“Who’s with me?” Isaac asked as he approached us.
“Is Adrian not with you?”
“No,but i saw him with a girl”
“A girl? I and Shannon asked at the same time.
Why does the fact that Adrian is with a girl makes me feel somehow.
“Yeah,they are in the school field”
“Am going over there”i saidamd walked away immediately.
I don’t even know why am getting woked up over it.
I walked over to the school field,some guys were already whistling at me but i ignored them.
I got to the field and spotted Adrian with the girl,they were sitting so close to each other on the bench.
I stood at a reasonable distance from them so that i won’t be seen,she had long dark hair and her skin was white.
Adrian held her hand and said something that made her laugh.
I walked away and went to class.

“So did you talk to him?” Shannon asked as we sat down facing each other at the cafeteria.
“No,why would i?”
“What do you mean by that? He’s your friend”
“I don’t know anymore, he seems to be so interested in that girl” i said and Shannon started laughing.
“What’s funny?”
“Your jealous face,you sound like an old jealous woman who just found out that her husband goes after young girls”
She kept laughing and i throw my French fries at her.
“Shut up”
Shannon was about to say something when Adrian came over with his food,he sat beside me.
“Heyy,i see you two are friends again, that’s nice”
“Yeah,we settled things, how are you, Adrian?”
“Good,very good actually”
Why wouldn’t he feel so good?
He hasn’t even told me about the girl, unbelievable.
We kept talking about random things when the girl from the field walked over to us.
“Hey, Everyone” She said and she sat beside Shannon smiling so widely.
“Hi” Shannon and I said simultaneously.
“Am Mabel,am new here”
“Sure you are,am guessing yoi have seen the whole school, especially the field” i blurted out.
Why in h*ell did i just say that?
Shannon gave me an “are you for real” Look.
“Yeah, Adrian over here showed me around”
She looked at him so much admiration,her eyes sparkling.
I wish i could just pluck her eyes out and feed it to her.
I think i need a time out,i can’t believe am having such thought towards someone.
“You and Adrian seem so close” Shannon said making Mabel giggle, I resisted the urge to roll my eyes
“Yes,we are really really close”
“Yeah, Mabel is the best” Adrian said as he stole French fries from Mabel’s plate.
I can’t believe my eyes,he always takes from my plate,now he is eating off the plate of some girl who looks like snow white.
They started to fight over the last piece of French fries,i looked away and focused on my food.

FEW HOURS LATER.
“Got any plans this afternoon?” Adrian asked me as we walked out of the school building.
School was over and i had to spend the last hours trying not to look at Mabel amd Adrian.
“I have to read for my tests i have to retake”
“Oh, that’s right, you need to get your grades up”
“Yeah, I know”
“Adrian,you ready?” Mabel asked as she walked up to us,this time around i rolled my eyes.
“Is something wrong, Clarissa?”
“Nothing is wrong and my name is Claribel not Clarissa”
“Same thing”
“It’s not the f*cking….you know what, forget it,i need to go home”
“You need a ride?” Adrian asked.
“No,i will ride with Shannon, bye” i said and walked away.
I really wanted to ride with Adrian,ever since we fought,we haven’t gotten the chance to sing along to songs on the radio as he takes me home.
Now he is carrying Mabel in his car.
I got to Shannon’s car and got in.
“I thought you always ride with Adrian” Shannon asked as she saw me.
“Not this time, He’s with Mabel”
“Claribel, I know that face,you have alot of things to say right now so let’s go to my house,okay?”
“Yeah,fine” I said and she zoomed out of the school premises.
