? Claribel’s P.o.v?
“Well, Thanks for walking me out,my boyfriend is waiting for me” I said as i and Jace, that’s his name, walked out.
“You have a boyfriend?”
“Yeah”
“That’s sad,i was already thinking of asking you out” Jace said and i giggled.
“He’s also British like you,so you can say British guys have a thing for me”
“You got that right”
We walked to the spot where i left Adrian but he wasn’t there,i looked around but I couldn’t find him.
“What’s wrong?”
“Am looking for my boyfriend,i left him right here”
“Do you want me to help you check?”
“Um.
I got interrupted by the vibration of my phone,i checked and it was a text from Adrian.
*Am outside* The text message said.
“I just got a text from him, he’s outside so i have to go”
“Okay,you want me to walk you to the door?”
If Adrian sees me with a guy,he would probably punch him and i don’t want to risk his face.
“Um..no, thanks but mu boyfriend is the jealous type and there is a big chance that he would want to punch you”
“I understand, I would also be jealous if i had someone like you with me”
“Okay,bye”
I walked over to Adrian’s car,he was leaning on it.
“Did you hate skating so much that you left me inside?”
“No,i just got uncomfortable with the stares i got from those girls”
“Fair enough”
We climbed into the car and zoomed off,the drive was awfully quiet, Adrian is supposed to be playing loud music in attempt to annoy me.
“Adrian,we just passed Mac Donald’s” I said as he drove past it.
“Oh.. sorry,i wasn’t focusing”
“You seem so distant with me,did i do something wrong?”
“No,no, it’s nothing”
“Oh..i forgot to tell you that i met a guy who is also British like you,he was really nice..his name is Jace.
He also wanted to ask me out”
He halted the car immediately making our bodies move forward.
“What’s wrong? Why did you stop the car?”
“He asked you out?”
“He wanted to but don’t worry i told him I have a boyfriend”
“Did you tell him my name?’
“No,only that you are British like him, that’s all” i said and he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Is something wrong, Adrian?”
“No, let’s just go and eat”

? Adrian’s P.o.v?
What the h*ell is Jace doing here? I thought he said he would never step foot into America so why is he here?
I can’t get my mind off it one bit,am here with Claribel but my mind but my mind is somewhere else.
“If you really didn’t want to eat with me,why did you bring me here?” Claribel’s voice jolted me back to reality.
“Oh..am sorry,babe,i just don’t feel okay”
She came closer to me and touched my forehead.
“Did you take your pills today?”
“Yeah,i think it’s just that ice”
“Oh..okay”

Few days later.
“What do you mean by he is acting weird?” Shannon asked as we walked down the school hallway.
“Ever since we went to that ice skating place,he hasn’t been himself,he is always lost in thought”
Shannon wanted to say before Isaac arrived,he kssed her on her cheeks.
“Isaac,can I ask you something?”
“Yeah,sure”
“Have you noticed anything weird about Adrian lately?”
“Weird?”
“Yeah,have you?”
“Well,i noticed that he is always thinking about something,he hardly focuses”
The way Adrian is behaving is making me so worried,i just hope it has nothing to do with his health.
“Here he comes” Shannon said as Adrian walked towards us.
“Hey,babe”
He kssed my cheeks, then my lips.
“We’ll leave you two alone” Isaac walked away with Shannon.
“Why are they acting weird?”
“No, you are acting weird, Adrian.. Tell me the truth, what’s going on? Is it about your health?”
“No, it’s not,am perfectly fine”
“Then what are you hiding from me?”
“Am not hiding anything”
“Are you sure?”
“…Yeah”He pulled me closer to himself,i just hope everything is alright.

After our talk the other day at school, everything went back to normal,i am heading to Adrian’s house to spend the weekend.
I got to his house,i spotted him talking to a guy from a far,i couldn’t see the guy’s face because he had his back turned against me.
I walked closer, Adrian saw me and i saw the shock expression on his face.
“What are you…
I know that voice,the guy turned around and it was Jace,but what is he doing here talking to Adrian?
“Claribel”
“Jace,you know Adrian?”
“Yeah, he’s my friend”
He smirked at Adrian, who just looked away.
“What are you doing here?” Adrian asked as he moved closer to me.
“Your mom called me and told me that she will be out of town for the weekend and suggested that i stay with you”
“Adrian,is she your girlfriend?”
“Ye..
“No, she’s just my friend” Adrian cut me off.
Why the h*ell did he just introduce me to Jace as his friend?
