? Claribel’s P.o.v?
I woke up with a very painful headache,i rubbed my head but the pain was still there.
I stood up from the bed and realized that i wasn’t in my room,i looked around and noticed it was Adrian’s room.
The door opened and he walked in wearing a grey hoodie and black sweatpants with a black beanie.
“You are awake, thank goodness” he said as he walked closer to me.
“What happened? How did i get here?”
“You were seriously drunk this afternoon and i brought you here.
I saw you at the garden, drinking a bottle of vodka”
“Wait..so it wasn’t a dream, you and i really talked at the garden”
“Yeah,did you think you were dreaming”
“Yeah,i mean..you forgive me?”
“Of course, Claribel, you are my friend and i forgive you” He said and i smiled widely.
“Thanks”
I tried to stand up but i felt a sharp pain on my head.
“You might want to sit down for a while,you are having a hangover”
“Thanks but i really need to take a shower and some pain killers”
“Damnit,i completely forgot that you might want to take a shower and i didn’t bring any of your clothes”
“It’s okay, I could just go back home”
“Claribel, it’s 11:53pm,am not letting you go out this late”
“So what do i wear?”
He went over to his wardrobe and brought out a black hoodie.
“You can wear my hoodie, it’s a little bit short”
“It’s okay,i will manage”
? Adrian’s P.o.v?
She took the hoodie and walked into the bathroom,i heard the water running.
I went downstairs to get her food and painkillers.
“Look at the way you are smiling” My mom said and pinched my cheek.
“Stop it,mom,am no longer a kid”
“You are blushing already just by taking care of her”
“She’s my friend”
“Tell me something,have you ever wanted her to be more than your friend?”
“…No,of course not”
“You took time to answer me that means you are lying”
“Am not lying,mom,Claribel is just my friend and if you don’t mind,am taking this food over to her”
I took the stairs back to my room,i knocked in case she is dressing up.
“Come in” i heard her say,i walked in and the food almost fell from my hand.
Claribel’s hair was wet and it rested so well on her face,my hoodie didn’t even cover her thighs,her legs were so spotless.
“Adrian!” She called out jolting me out of my thoughts.
“Um..sorry,i brought your food and some pain killers”
“Thanks”
I set the food and scratched the back of my neck.
“Why are you nervous?” She asked as she started eating.
“How do you know that am nervous?”
“You always scratch the back of your neck when you are nervous,so tell me why you are nervous”
“It’s.. it’s nothing”
“Sit down and eat with me”
She dragged me to the bed and started feeding me and herself.
We talked and laughed about alot of things.

The next day.
? Claribel’s P.o.v?
Before i went to school,i went over to Shannon’s house,i really need her to forgive me.
I knocked on the door and micheal,her big brother opened the door for me.
“Claribel” He called out.
“You no longer call me little one?” I asked and he sighed.
“I know Shannon told you about our fight and how i called her a b*tch, that’s why am here to apologise”
“Okay,come in.. Little one” He said and we chuckled together.
I walked in and Shannon was with her mom,she was getting ready for school.
“What’s she doing here?”She said as she saw me.
“Shannon,am sorry,am really sorry,i didn’t mean anything i said,i was just..just envious”
“Envious of who?”
“Of you,of Adrian,of everyone who had a happy family,i let the anger consume me,am sorry”
She walked closer and put her hand on my shoulder.
“You can slap me if you want to” i said and she giggled.
“No,i won’t do that but i want you to promise me something”
“Anything”
“First,i want to apologise for calling your mom a wh0re,am deeply sorry”
“It’s okay,i forgive you”
“Now,i want you to promise me that you will retake all those tests you failed and bring your grades higher”
“I promise”
We hugged each other.
“Aww,i want to get in on this hug too”Micheal said and hugged us, Shannon’s mom also joined in.
