"...I want to talk to you" Sasha reprised "Can't you see am busy right now?" he said sternly"Just a few minutes Okay?" she replied coldly"And hey Betty is not trying to steal your boy just a little chit-chat," she said as she flashed a grin at Betty.Betty remained immobilized as lay by. She watched Sasha leave with phoenix about him till she lost sight of him."His ex?" She murmured to herself shrinking back. "But he never told me anything about it" Taking her chance she dashed towards them, when they saw her approach them they stopped talking."See you later little daddy," Sasha said fluttering away from the phoenix."I'll be going home bye see you later," he said to Betty who stood still unsure of what to do next."Wa....." He had gone out of sight before she could utter a word."I'll let you go to the stars if you don't explain this" she murmured. Still utterly confused after a few minutes of afterthoughts she went home.
"You and Matt had been pretty much the dream couple I dreamed of having but unfortunately for me" Lily sulked like a child."Lily!!!""Hey come on get that attitude off when you are with me" Alicia directed to lily.Lily nodded as she brightened up her gloomy face."So gist me" "...." lily's face slackened."Come on okay... I do have something I want to tell you""Okay go on""I and matt were walking around the park when we met this guy Steve and we talked about a lot of stuff we played truth or dare too" she paused"Okay" seeming uninterested"Okay matt asked Steve who he liked and he said no one""So...""But then after the game, he pulled matt aside and told him something I took it that it was a boys thing so no need to interfere" she giggled"As we were going home Steve started to talk of you how beautiful you are how you carry yourself""Carry me??""Yea yea please let me finish'" okay""So I got su
During one of our girls' sleepover parties, Alicia brought her boyfriend over, it was quite annoying at first especially when she had found out he wasn't alone"Oh dear God" lily gasped for breath when saw Steve approach me"Hi....lily""Hey Steve" she faked a smile at him She walked over to her friends, she dodged him anytime she noticed he wanted to talk to her. When the games had started he kept on staring at her and she found it so hard to concentrate. After the first game, they played truth or dare Alicia dared to hold Steve's hand till it was her turn again. She stopped short. This was the worst punishment she could ever receive this night, but then she had to do it if not she would have to face the consequences. So she sat next to him sat down holding her breath as she reached out for his hand. He just took a simple glance at her."If you don't wanna do it you could let go of me" he added seeing that she struggled within herself S
The holidays were soon over and classes resumed instantaneously as normal."Steve had always been the person I dreamt of having as a boyfriend" lily told Betty with a radiant smile plastered on her cheeks."mm am happy for you lily I guess I was wrong" Betty chipped in with a remorseful voice."No problem...but what about Phoenix?" Lily added Her heart raced instantly when she heard his name."Betty...??" Lily called out when she saw that she became lost in thoughtsShe couldn't take it any longer, she had missed Phoenix much more than she had imagined but she reasoned that he might not care at least not now, but honestly, she was so confused on what step to take. She told lily everything that happened between them."I.....don't know what to do again" she sobbed"I think it would be better if you go and meet him Betty at least try to listen to him," Lily said feeling pitied towards her"I...should have listened to him" she stammered
Throughout that day phoenix wasn't at rest within himself, he had so many wild thoughts popping in his head"Why does she suddenly want to see me?""is it that she wants to come... back?""No no I know she can't" he couldn't think positively at this point"Maybe she.... she...."He had no idea of why she might want to see him"I guess I'll have to wait" as he stole a glance at her. He wasn't the only one that was troubled, for some reason Betty could not figure out what to do again. It seemed that her heart had been beating so loud she could even hear it."Calm down Betty.... breath in and out"It seemed like forever for the two as they were itching to talk to each other. After what seemed like a year, the school was finally over. Phoenix decided to go and meet her than letting her come to him"Phoenix!" he heard someone call him from behind"W....mum?" as he ran to her"Did I come at the wrong time?""Eh..no..""You seem
Phoenix and I had been so much closer than before. It was so perfect for me that I, lily, and Alicia would go on a triple date. I and phoenix went to the cinema, it was so fun and a thrilling experience for me that I was back with phoenix. For some minutes I noticed that Phoenix wasn't watching the movie. "What are you doing," I asked him"Am admiring my wife"cough cough "did he just say wife," she thought aloud"or won't you want to be my bride?""Of course, I will but?...""But what?.....""But it's too early to be talking of that besides who knows you might find someone else" the last words pierced her heart as she said it."Would you love someone else other than me?""...No I love you and you only""I love you very much too so I would want to make you my wife"".....you have turned to be so shameless haven't you," she thought to herself "Let's just concentrate on the movie for now Phoenix""I don't want to""Why? is
Betty and phoenix's relationship has been the most envied of all in school. Betty did not fail to notice the maliciously grudging eyes of the girls in school. It made her feel so high, she knew that phoenix was meant for her and her only, so she never bothered about them. "Hey lover girl" Betty heard them chattering as she walked home. Phoenix had left earlier, saying he had some important issues to deal with so he rushed back home before school was over. Lily and Alicia had been "busy" nowadays so she want to bother them."Hey!!!!" a group of girls standing by the roadside yelled at her but Betty ignored them and kept on walking home. They went after her and dragged her back"Don't you have respect you little brat?"She looked at them with disgust evident in her face."Oh because you are now dating phoenix right?" they "Well, it would interest you to know that Phoenix is...." Betty slapped the girl even before she could finish her sentence.
Mum left the house, so she was stuck with dad. She comes to visit her weekly at times but she still missed her a lot. Dad barely stayed at home and even if he came back home he would come back drunk or with a woman by his side."Mum was right after all," Betty said to me. She had missed school for some days, but lily and Alicia were always there to comfort her, phoenix was always by her side like a worried mother hen scared of her little chick's safety. He frequently visited her even when dad was around. "Thanks, phoenix""For what?""Staying by me""Mm no problem I couldn't leave my wife alone in this condition""...." he kissed her on the cheek"Don't you think you have spent a lot of time here? You should get going it late""Am spending the night here""....?""I already called my mum to let her know I won't come back tonight""o..h""mm" as he lay on my bed"well..I'll be....right back...I ...." "Mm Ok I'll be waitin
