Jeremy ‘s POV [Continues.] After dressing up, I grabbed my bag and my phone and walked out of my room and down the stairs.

 

Eaten earlier so I walked out.

 

Moni’s probably in the kitchen, so I just walked out, to my car and drove off.

 

……………………

 

I got to Andra’s house and when I pressed the doorbell, she opened immediately.

 

I smiled.

 

She look so cute like always.

 

“Hi bestie.” I said.

 

She smiled but her smile wasn’t so bright like it use to.

 

“Hey, I don’t like that smile.” I said, giving her a playful smile. “Huh?”

 

“Your smile ain’t so lightful like it use to be. Are you fine?” I asked. “Ye..Yeah.. Im fine.” She said.

 

“Then just smile again so I’ll know you’re fine?” I said.

 

She hit me, laughing widely.

 

“You’re so crazy Jeremy.” She said.

 

I smiled.

 

“I guess I am. What about Lili?” I asked. “She’s in.” She said.

 

“Told her about my dad coming back today?” I asked. Alexandra’s POV

 

His question made me recall the dream.. I feel scared and worried..

 

I wish I can tell him but I can’t. “Yeah I did.” I said.

 

“It took you quite long to answer that. You okay Andra?” He asked.

 

“Yes I am.” I said.

 

But the truth is that, I ain’t!

 

He took my hand and we walked to his car.

 

……………………………………

 

“Talked with your dad today?” I asked him cos I can’t stop thinking about that.

 

aweful dream.

 

“Yeahh. Told me he’ll beon his way to the airport soon.” He said.

 

I stared at the windscreen.

 

“Okay.” I said coldly.

 

He glanced at me.

 

“You are beyond nice Andra.” He said, smiling.

 

“Huh?” I said, and looked at him.

 

He smiled more, his dimples making my stomache tighten.

 

“You just asked about my dad. Molly’s my girlfriend and she haven’t called to ask if he’s really coming today.” He said.

 

I swallowed..

 

Is he tryna say im better than Molly?

 

………………………………………………

 

When we got to school and he pulled to a stop.

 

I got down down from the car and waited for him to come over so we could walk together to class.

 

But then, I couldn’t believe the eyes that fell on me.

 

Okay, there were always eyes whenever I step down from his car but today’s was damn suspicious.

 

I swallowed and Jeremy came over.

 

I couldn’t help but ask him.

 

“Why are they so many eyes on me?” I whispered. “On us.” He said as he took my hand and smiled. Gosh! This punk!

 

We walked down the hallway, with him still holding my hand.

 

People still stared, and with him holding my hand made it worse!

 

And I could hear mutterings now.

 

He’s the girl on his facebook post.

 

Oh my! I can’t believe it.

 

They had fights! but they are holding hands now. Unbelievable.

 

Wow. She’s the girl with him on the picture!

 

Alexandra?

 

They are holding hands. Wow.

 

New friends?

 

Wow..

 

.

 

.

 

Facebook?

 

Picture?

 

What are they talking about?

 

I glanced at Jeremy and he’s face’s straight.

 

He look so handsome but that’s not why im looking at him!

 

“What are they talking about?” I asked him, nervous and anxious to know the thing he posted on facebook.

 

“I’ll explain later Andra. Just ignore them okay?” He said.

 

The mutterings were so much that I was wishing I could shut their mouths up! And so many eyes on us.

 

I cann’t wait to get to class and Jeremy just held my hand tight and don’t wanna let go of it.

 

“The stares are so much. Just leave my hand please.” I said.

 

He just smiled.

 

Argh! I feel like hitting hin hard!

 

Why’s he smiling like what I said is funny huh?

 

He didn’t let go of my hand till we got to my locker.

 

“Oh, you finally did huh.” I said, glaring at him.

 

“Did what?” He asked,smiling.

 

“Let go of my hand.” I said.

 

“I enjoyed the stares.” He said with a wide smile.

 

I finally got the chance to hit him.. and I did.

 

I hit him on his arm.

 

“Ouch! That hurt Andra.” He said, pretending like it hurt.

 

I know it didn’t.

 

“I must hit back.” He said, acting like some kid.

 

I rolled my eyes and turned to my locker. Dropped my book, and got my English books.

 

…………………………，

 

We turned and headed to class.

 

All eyes fell on us as we walked in.

 

Everyone.

 

Chris, Molly, Eve. Everyone!

 

But they stared mostly at me!

 

I swallowed.

 

The stares were so much that I felt embarrassed.

 

I was about walking to my seat, when a hand pulled me back.

 

Jeremy!

 

Huh! I looked at him in utter shock and confusion.

 

What do he wanna do?

 

Is he the reason for all this stares?

 

I got scared.

 

I swear I did. I felt he wanna embarrass me again.

 

But then he gave me an assuring smile that tells that he wanna do something sweet rather.

 

Then I glanced at the Class.

 

Chris was smiling, Molly’s face was dangerous.

 

Eve was smiling broadly.

 

She looked so cute.

 

Others just stared..

 

I looked at him, he was smiling.

 

Argh! Cutieeeee!

 

I wonder what you wanna do! in front of your girlfriend!

 

Did I do so wrong by accepting to be your girlfriend huh!

 

You make me feel so scared!

 

He held me tight, and made me stand so close to him that our arms touched.

“HELLO GUYS..” He began.

 

And my heart jumped and began beating fast.

 

I looked down cos I can’t dare look at anyone now not even him.

 

I’ll have to face whatever that comes..

 

“I WANNA LET YOU GUYS KNOW… THAT THIS CUTIE HERE,..” Oh my God!

 

Did he just call me ‘cutie in front of everyone here, including his girlfriend! Argh Jeremy…

 

My heart is beating so fast.

 

“…MISS ALEXANDRA GRANDE, IS NO MORE MY ENEMY. WE ARE

 

OFFICIALLY FRIENDS NOW… SO EVERYONE SHOULD SEE HER AS MY FRIEND FROM NOW ON..” He announced.

 

Oh my God!

 

Oh Jeremy… What did you just do!

 

I shut my eyes.

 

I dont wanna see Molly’s face but I did open my left eye to check Eve and she had her palms on her lips and her eyes wide open. UHH!

 

But then my pulse stopped when He turned me to face him and… and.. then he

 

kissed me on my forehead.

 

Whaaaaaaat!!

 

They was a shout out of, “WOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!” from the class.

 

I swear, I heard my heart beat.

 

It was so loud.

“You didn’t expect this right?” He whispered in a way that only I could hear.

 

“…I just wanted everyone to know we are friends now cos so many of them still

 

thought we are enemies, you know. Im happy that we are friends now. Jeremy is happy to be your friend. I promise to make you happy and protect you. Be there for you always.” He said.

 

God! Why’s he making it sound so romantic like I just accepted to be his girlfriend when it’s just mutual friendship.

 

Then he left my hand and… and I managed to take one seconds glance at Molly..

 

And I got scared for my dear self.

 

Her eyes were on me.

 

And they told how angry and furious she was.

 

Oh Jeremy.

 

You shouldn’t have done this.

 

I said within as I sat down on my seat and got my head on my desk.
