☆☆Mia POV☆☆
The second I saw Ben behind me, I instantly froze. “What is he doing here? Why did he come to us? He usually ignores us completely as if we are air” I thought to myself as I stared at his smile that he was flashing at me.
I stared at him in disbelief, he looked at Kevin and his smile turned into a smirk while Kevin gritted his teeth and glared at him even more fiercely.
Kevin’s grip tightened on my hand, squeezing my fingers more. I pulled my hand free and spoke first, breaking the awkward silence: “hey Ben, what are you doing here?”
He grabbed a chair from the table behind him and sat down with us before looking at Kevin challengingly and then turned his head to me and smiled widely saying: “I was passing by and saw you two; I thought to check up on you”
I felt my cheeks heat up as I remembered our earlier hug: “I am okay. Thank you”
I glanced at Kevin
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆Range erupted within my body and I hardly controlled myself. I stepped into the storage room and I saw nothing.The storage room was empty. Mia wasn’t there.I closed the door and I felt my blood boil; I closed my eyes and clenched my fists hard.“Natalia played me” I took large strides back to the cafeteria. I was going to kill her this time. What the hell did she do? If Mia was hurt, I will definitely make her pay for it.As I stepped into the hall, I saw Mia sitting at our table silently waiting for me. Just seeing her calmed me down instantly. I searched for Natalia with my eyes and saw her eating with her head down on the plate.I was a little confused. I expected h
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ I left Mia’s house in denial, I didn’t want to believe that we actually fought together for the first time since we became friends. I walked around aimlessly thinking about our last conversation. Her words shattered me completely, it hurt so bad that I couldn’t breathe right. It feels like I got stabbed right into my heart and its bleeding sorrow. The worst part was that she didn’t know anything nor she believed me. Finally I dragged myself back home. I didn’t want to talk to anyone, so I just headed upstairs. As soon as I entered my room, I dropped myself on the bed and stared at the ceiling. Sadness poured inside my soul.
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆ My dreams were filled with this memory repeating over and over all night. I woke up only when my alarm sounded at 6 in the morning. I got up gloomy and depressed. I almost ditched school today, but something came over me that I couldn’t shake off. So, I got up, got ready and headed there. As the bus approached the school, I saw Mia standing with Ben talking. I don’t know what happened but it looked like Mia sent him off. I came down the bus with the idea of not talking to her ever again; I even wanted to pass by her and not look. But again something came over me and I couldn’t do it. As if I couldn't control myself or my actions. As I approached her, she smiled. I almost smiled back, but I just put on a cold face. I really didn’t want to talk to her. However, my heart melted when I saw guilt on her face and how she struggled to apologize. I couldn’t withstand her agony especially when it’s caused by me eve
☆☆Mia POV☆☆“Mia,” the teacher shouted out loud and all heads turned to me as she headed towards me.She hovered over my head and looked at my exam paper and then at me. I was in shock because of what just happened and I couldn’t respond.I couldn’t speak or move. So, she just stood there staring at me. I glanced at her and then at the paper again.Then I mustered whatever strength I had left in me and said: “I think I am done. I will leave now” and bolted towards the door as all eyes were following me.I came out of class panting heavily like I was running a marathon although I was exhausted mentally and not physically.I was supposed to meet Kevin after the exam session at the door of his assigned class so that I can pass the horseshoe secretly to him.Since I finished the exam earlier than we thought, I headed to the cafeteria to look for him.I entered the ha
☆☆Mia POV☆☆Ben’s words were still ringing in my ears when suddenly I heard Kevin’s statement which was weird: “Mia I have a confession to make”“What the hell is going on today?” I thought to myself as I looked at Kevin speechless. He stammered a little and then scratched the back of his head trying to find his lost words.“EMMM” I looked at him and smiled warmly.“What is it? Kevin” I asked, now I feel worried. He took a deep breath saying: “I just don’t know how you are going to react?”“Something bad happened?” I asked as my stomach started to ache out of anxiousness.“NO, NO” he assured me while shaking both his hands.“Then what is it?” I asked worryingly“I haven’t been honest with you Mia,” he said, putting his hands on the table and leaning in a little.&ldqu
☆☆Kevin POV☆☆My eyes were already glued to Mia when she screamed, but I saw nothing. In just two long strides I reached her: “what is it?”She seemed well even standing in the same spot. I looked around and eyed her up and down but she was perfectly fine.“EWWWWW” she shouted out loud. She placed her palm over her left shoulder and wiped off something.I looked at her palm and then back to her: “what happened?” I asked again, checking her shoulder. Again it looked fine.Then in a childish, crying tone she raised her palm to my face and replied back: “A bird just peed on me” I straightened my back and looked at her face: “you scared me. So what? Just wipe it” I smiled back in relief.She got a few tissues out of her bag and started to clean up her shoulder and palm while asking: “so, did you find it?”I sighed loudly and replied: “No. Now what?” she rais
☆☆Mia POV☆☆I dropped my body on the nearest chair outside the operating room waiting for any doctor or a nurse to come out and tell us what was going on, but no one came.Kevin’s parents sat down on the bench opposite to me. Kevin’s mom was sobbing soundly, while his father sat next to her hugging her shoulders and consoling her, and trying as much as possible to stay strong himself.I looked at the clock on the wall and I felt the tic-toc was beating in my chest. My heart was trembling rapidly, I felt cold inside and my body was shivering uncontrollably.Every passing minute felt like a year in waiting.I impatiently took a breath in to calm myself and looked down at my hands. They were both covered in dried dark blood.
☆☆Mia POV☆☆ The moment I saw the caller’s name “Granny” pop up on the screen, I lost every bit of composure that was left in me. My body shivered uncontrollably and I panicked. “Did she find out about the horseshoe? What the hell am I going to say to her? What if she asks me to give it back? How will I tell her that I lost it?” I thought about all this while staring at the phone before saying: “I wish you were here Kevin” I sighed and picked up the call within the last ring thinking whatever happens. “Hello” I greeted her but my voice came out hoarse. “Mia, sweetie. How are you doing?” her concerned voice triggered guilt within my conscience. My dried eyes started to tear up again. I sobbed loudly, my emotions were all over. I don’t really know the reason why I was crying hysterically lik
