"Because I over heard you and Linda talking about it. I want you to tell me who pushed me down the stairs" she said and he sighed before dropping the controller and he stood up.
"Linda did. She was the one who pushed you down the stairs"
"But why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it away from me?!" She snapped and he sighed.
"Because I know you. You're very crazy when angry. You can literally kill her if care is not taken" He said and she glared at him.
"It's true. You nearly killed her at the cafeteria remember. You even took out one of her tooth" He said and she chuckled before frowning.
"Still you would have told me" She said and he nodded.
"Yes and I'm sorry for not telling you. It was very bad of me and I'm truly sorry" He said and she rolled her eyes.
He walked close to her and held her hands.
"Am I forgiven?" He asked with a pout and she chuckled at how cute she looked.
"Yes" She said and pulled out of his grip slowly.
She looked over at the PS controller and walked to it.
"Can I play?" She asked and he laughed loudly.
"What's funny?"
"You? Play? Oh please" He said as his laugh died down.
"I can play" She said with a frown.
"You can't. You girls only know how to play with Barbie dolls" He said collecting the controller from her.
He sat back down on the couch and she punched his arm.
"Ouch!"
"I can play"
"Fine. Let's make a deal" he said getting another controller.
He handed it to her and she sat beside him.
"If I win, you'll have a sleepover at my house" He said.
"But if I win, you'll tell me what happened to your mum" She said and he nodded.
"Deal" They said at once.
He started the game all over again and they started playing.
After a while....
"I won!!" Chelsea screamed and jumped up.
"Hey. You cheated. Let's have a rematch" Angelo said.
She glared at him before speaking.
"No way. You might win me instead. No rematch" She said and he knelt down.
"Please rematch. Please!!" He pleaded shocking her.
"Angelo!"
"Please"
"Fine" She groaned and rolled her eyes.
"Thank you" He said and stood up sitting back down on the couch.
They started playing again and after a while....
"I won!!" Angelo screamed and laughed.
"Let's have a rematch"
"No way!"
"But I agreed with you. You have to agree" Chelsea said.
"Okay but this game has no rematch. Whoever wins wins, alright?" He said and asked.
"Yes" She muttered and they started playing again.
Chelsea was close to winning when Angelo suddenly killed the last guy and she screamed.
"No!!!" She yelled and Angelo laughed.
"I won. You lost" He said and she dropped the controller angrily.
She ran her fingers though her hair frustratingly.
He started laughing and she looked at him. She frowned and pushed him down making him lay on the empty space on the couch.
He still didn't stop laughing.
She got on top of him immediately.
"You cheated!" She said trying to hit his face but he kept blocking it.
"Just accept it. You lost" He said and she slapped him this time.
"Cheater" She scoffed and tried getting up from him but he pulled her down.
Their faces were inches away from each other and her hair covered part of her face.
He brought his hand to her face and put the hair behind her ear.
"You're beautiful" He said and her eyes widened.
She pushed him away and got up immediately.
She got down and ran to the door.
"Don't forget our deal. The sleep over starts my 8pm tonight alright" He said and she opened the door before rushing out.
"Gosh" He muttered before laughing again.

Mina was sound asleep when Adrian and Emma came in. Adrian was holding a cup of hot cocoa as he walked to her.
He sat beside her while Emma sat beside her too but on the other side of the bed opposite Adrian.
"Mina. Wake up" He said tapping her slowly.
She squinted her eyes before opening them slowly.
"Adrian" She called before sitting up immediately.
She looked over and saw Emma sitting there as well.
Emma gave her a smile which she returned.
"Have this. The nurse said you need it" Adrian said handing her the cup of cocoa.
She looked at him before collecting the Cocoa. She blew it before drinking out of it.
"Mhm" She moaned enjoying the taste. She smiled drinking more of the cocoa.
"It's sweet right?" He asked and she nodded.
Emma stared at the two of them with a small smile on her face.
With the way Adrian stares at her, she knew he found interest in her.
"I need to be somewhere. Bye guys" She said and stood up.
"Bye" Mina and Adrian said at the same time with a smile on their faces. Emma smiled before leaving the room.
She sighed when she got out before walking.
They weren't having any class right now so she decided to leave for a while.
She went to her car, entered, ignited the engine and drove off.
She stopped at a bridge and pulled over. She came down from the car and started walking.
She sighted someone standing close to the rail as he stared down at the water.
She walked to him and stood beside him.
He looked at her and she looked at him too.
Their eyes locked.
"You!" They said at the same time.
"What are you doing here?" They asked again at the same time.
"Are you following me?" They chorused again.
"Stop copying me" They said again..
"Argghhh!" They screamed too before chuckling.
"What are you doing here....urmm..."
"Emma"
"Yeah. What are you doing here Emma?" He asked as he faced the water again.
"I came to clear my head. What of you?"
"Must you ..."
"If you know you won't answer me then never ever ask me why I'm here. Got it!" She snapped and he looked at her.
"I came here to clear my head too" He said before looking back at the water.
"I did what you said I should do. We're now happy and I found my real mom" She said and he looked at her.
"That's good news" He said.
"But she's dead" She added with a sad smile.
"My condolences"
"Thanks" She said and he looked back at the water.
"Have you ever felt like you're alone all your life and the only thing that's ringing in your head is just to die?" He suddenly asked and she looked at him.
"No. Why?" She asked and he stood straight before facing her.
"I need to go" He said and turned to go.
She rushed to him and held his arm.
"Jeffrey. Please open up to me. A problem shared is half solved remember" She said and he faced her fully.
"You can't help me" He said breaking out of her grip gently.
"You just concluded that on your own. I haven't even tried" She said moving towards him.
"I'm a monster. I...." His voice cracked as tears formed in his eyes but he wiped it off immediately.
"You're not a monster Jeffery" She muttered before cupping his cheeks.
He stared into her eyes and he didn't know when tears fell down his eyes.
"I d...didn't m..mean to...." He stuttered and she pulled him into a tight hug patting his back slowly.
"Just calm down" She said and he sniffed before hugging her back slowly.
"Everything will be okay" She muttered and he nodded hugging her tightly as if she'll run away.
