The next morning an apologetic Hudson drove Isabella to school. "I'll have practice today too. So I'll arrange for someone to drop you home. Okay?" He told her. Isabella nodded, praying in her mind that whoever it was, it shouldn't be Weston. Images of him kissing that girl was still fresh in her mind and it didn't cause her any happiness. It made her jealous and restless as she declined Hudson's offer to walk her to her class."I'm not a baby, bro. I can go to my class on my own," she told him with a grumpy face."I know you're all grown up but please let me walk you to your class today. From tomorrow onwards you're on your own," he said, walking alongside with her.They found Weston sitting at the same spot with the same friends. He watched her with interest while ignoring Hudson completely. Hudson rolled his eyes at him. Weston stared at her for her reaction. Last evening he had seen her sitting at her window watching h

"It's a friend's birthday party and she has invited me. C'mon, you can relax," he said impatiently. Isabella's eyes immediately widened with shock. She? Was it his girlfriend? Or maybe one of those bit*hy girls who would cling to him all the time? She didn't have any wish to go in and witness it. She would rather go home instead."Aunt Henrietta would be angry with me, Weston, " she reminded him. She couldn't say no to him but since she wasn't invited, she didn't want to impose."No, she isn't at home, " said Weston, parking his motorcycle and grabbing her hand. "Stay close," he told her. Isabella noticed that he had a habit of grabbing her hand all the time. She saw that there was a mini-golf gaming zone inside the venue where a birthday party was being hosted. Delicious appetizers were being served and young girls and boys were laughing and enjoying themselves. Thankfully, they were of all age groups.Isabella tugged at

The next whole week there was an enmity between Weston and Isabella as she came up with unthinkable places to hide her diary every day knowing that Weston was hellbent upon finding and reading it. Weston's eyes twinkled with excitement as he now was determined to find out what precious secret it contained. So with Isabella's exams going on nearly every day, it was only Hudson who came to her rescue. She wouldn't allow Weston into her room, far from teaching her.After her exams were over, she was over the moon seeing her GPA scores. "Thanks, bro. You're the best," she said hugging Hudson. Anna Sophia had left for New York after appearing for her last examination and Isabella had cried a lot that night but she knew that she had no phone number to contact Anna Sophia again. She had lost her only friend forever. She had to move on and make new friends but it seemed like an impossible task to Isabella. So she spent her breaks at the school library.

Weston waited impatiently for Isabella's call. Two hours had passed by and yet she didn't call him. Unable to wait any longer, he started his motorcycle and rode over to her friend's house. Parking his motorcycle, he walked all the way to the front door and rang the doorbell. The door opened and a young girl of Isabella's age peeped out. Seeing him, she froze, her eyes widening with panic. "W-Weston, I haven't d-done anything, I s-swear, " the girl stammered. "Hey, chill! I'm just here for Isabella. Mom sent me to fetch her, " he said with a lazy smile. Isabella peeped through the door too and was surprised to see him so soon. She opened the door wider. "I'm not going home now, Weston. I had just started to enjoy myself. Why are you here? I didn't call you, " she told him. He caught her hand and pu

"Here, try this too," said Weston, handing her a pale blue sundress. "Is this your favorite color? You're selecting only blue stuff for me, Weston. I don't want an all-blue wardrobe, " protested Isabella. Weston looked at the pile of clothes in her hand with surprise. "So which color is your favorite?" He asked with curiosity. "Lavender, burgundy, white and black, " she told him excitedly. So from then on, they selected only those shades along with the blue ones of course. Afterwards, it was already evening by the time they returned with all their stuff. "So what have you bought for yourself, Wes?" Asked his mom curiously. He had never bought a single thing for himself. Hudson bought his clothes, Cody bought his hair accessories and Dave bought hi
