Angelo and Chelsea were in his car as he drove them to her house.
"Thank you Angelo" She muttered looking outside the window.
"It's nothing"
"But what happened to your mother that you're blaming yourself for her death?" She asked facing him.
She could see how his expression changed to a sad one.
"Please I don't want to talk about it" He muttered.
"Ohh" She muttered.
She looked at his free hand that was resting beside him and she held his hand.
He looked at her before facing the road.
"Why?" He asked referring to her holding his hands.
"To make you feel happy. I don't know what you're going through right now but I want to assure you that everything will be okay" She muttered and looked out the window.
Angelo smiled as he continued the drive to her home.
★★ THE NEXT MORNING: 8AM ★★
Angelo was in his room getting ready for school.
He was wearing a black baggy shirt with a blue crazy jean. He was wearing a white Nike sneaker, a wristwatch and a golden chain round his neck.
After putting on his cologne, he left his room and went downstairs.
He saw his dad sitting on the chair looking lost.
He walked up to him and held his shoulder.
"Good morning" Angelo muttered.
"Morning son" He replied.
Angelo went to sit down on a chair beside him and he picked his cutleries.
He started eating.
He looked up to his dad and saw he wasn't eating.
He was looking lost again.
"Dad" He called softly but he didn't answer.
Angelo touched his dad's palm and the man got startled by that.
"Dad" Angelo called again more softly.
"Yes?"
"You zoned out. Are you okay?" Angelo asked.
"I am" He muttered.
"I know you're lying" Angelo said and stood up.
He walked to stand behind his dad and he wrapped his arms around his body hugging him tightly.
His jaw was on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry for killing her" Angelo muttered as tears filled his eyes.
Christopher's eyes were already filled with tears.
"It's not your fault son" He muttered as he wiped his own tears before removing his son's arms from his body.
He stood up and faced Angelo.
"You didn't kill her son. Stop saying that okay?" He said and Angelo nodded.
He pulled Angelo into a tight hug and Angelo hugged him back.
"I love you dad"
"I love you more"
★★★★
Chelsea was seen in the library studying for an upcoming test.
She was putting on a singlet blue jean button cropped shirt and a blue jean skirt with a white Nike sneaker.
She was so engrossed in her book that she didn't know when a figure came and tapped her startling her in the process.
She looked at the person and it was Adrian.
"Hi" She said with a smile.
"Can I join you?" He asked.
"Sure" She muttered and he smiled before sitting on the chair beside her.
"What are you reading?" He asked.
"Biology. We're having test during our next class" she said.
"Really? Then let's study together. I didn't know we're going to have biology today" He muttered.
"Okay" She muttered and he pulled his chair closer to her.
She looked at him and gasped cos their face are inches away from each other.
She pushed her chair back a bit before clearing her throat.
"You were too close" She mumbled before continuing reading.
He kept staring at her face and smiled.
Chelsea whom felt eyes on her looked up but Adrian was quick enough to look down.
She looked at the book and continued reading.
★★★★
Class ended few minutes ago and Chelsea sighed.
Even after all the readings, she couldn't remember everything she read. She only remembered some few things.
She sighed as she walked together with her friends.
"Are you okay Chelsea?" Doris asked.
"No. I didn't do well in that test" She muttered.
"But you were in the library for almost an hour" Avery said.
"I know but I forgot almost everything I read. I know I'm going to fail that test for sure" She muttered sadly.
"You need to rest for a while Chelsea" Emma muttered.
"I've rested already. I just need to study more, that's it" She muttered.
"I'm hungry. Let's go eat" Doris said.
"Same" The two girls said.
"Me too" Chelsea said.
"I thought you needed to study more?" Doris asked with a smirk and Chelsea laughed.
"That doesn't mean I won't eat" She muttered.
They all walked to the cafeteria.
Angelo and his friends were seated at their special chair eating their food.
Chelsea and her friends sat down on their chair.
"Listen up everyone" Mina used a spoon to hit her glass cup as she stood on the chair.
"I'm having a birthday party and it's happening in a pool this Saturday by 8pm at my house. If you aren't wearing a swim suit, then you aren't allowed" she said and everyone cheered
"Are you guys coming?" Avery asked.
"Yes we are. What of you Chelsea?" Doris and Emma asked.
"I don't know"
"You need to come. You need to distract yourself from all the happenings that happened so please come" Emma pleaded.
"Sure. I'll come" She said and they smiled.
"Who's going to get us food?" Doris asked.
Immediately the girls all said.....
"Not it" They said at once touching their nose.
Chelsea wasn't fast enough to say it with them.
"Oh common. I wasn't ready yet" Chelsea complained and they laughed.
"The rules are rules. Go and get us food" Doris said.
"I want one smoothie with a hamburger" Avery said.
"I want one orange juice with a burrito" Emma said.
"And I want one apple juice with a sandwich" Doris said and Chelsea rolled her eyes at them before standing up.
She was walking to where she'll order the food and Linda was also coming there.
Linda wasn't looking where she was going cos she was talking to her friend when she bumped into Chelsea.
"Heyy!!" Linda yelled.
The remaining food she left in her plate poured all over her.
"What?" Chelsea asked.
"Are you blind or what?" Linda asked.
"I should be asking you that question" Chelsea muttered and crossed her hands over her chest.
Everyone's attention were now focused on them including the 3A's
"Apologize!!"
"Me?" She asked and laughed.
"I ain't apologizing for your stupidity" Chelsea said and Linda raised her hands to slap her but Chelsea held her arm.
"Don't you dare" She warned and threw her hands off.
"I'm sure this is the reason why your parents left you. Because of your stupidity and also ugliness, they died. I'm sure you killed them" Linda said and Chelsea released her hands.
Angelo stood up immediately.
"Say that again"
"You killed your..." She couldn't complete her words because Chelsea gave her a heavy punch to the face.
She punched her again and this time, blood escaped her lips.
Linda tried to punch her but Chelsea held her arm and flipped her making her fall to the ground groaning in pain.
She came on top of her and began giving her countless slaps.
Linda tried fighting back but it was to no avail.
Her face was injured already and blood was sipping from the wounds she gave her.
Angelo ran to the scene and carried Chelsea by the waist away from her.
"Let me go!! I need to teach her a lesson!!!" Chelsea screamed kicking her legs in the air.
Linda stood up slowly but staggered back.
"You have no right to say that!!! You don't know anything about me or my family to stop saying trash!!" Chelsea yelled at her.
"They were so tired of you Chelsea. You were a pain to them and the only way for them to be free is to die that's why you're alone!!" Linda yelled.
"Don't listen to her Chelsea. She's trying to get you angry. Just don't listen to her" Angelo said and Chelsea nodded.
"Let's go" He said releasing her waist.
Chelsea glared at Linda and started walking away with Angelo when...
"Freak!!!" She yelled and Chelsea stopped on her spot.
She turned swiftly and ran towards her angrily.
Immediately she got to her, she gave her a kick to the face and she fell to the ground loosing a tooth in the process.
She lost consciousness immediately.
