" Mum!!. I'm home " she yells as soon as we enter the houseA woman with black hair like hers and gray eyes comes into the sitting room with an apron around her neck, wearing the prettiest smile I have ever seen. I know where raphael got his eyes from." Hey baby " she said and pecked Alex who giggled in return. she looks like a kid now, you'd never know she is usually so different in school." And you are ? " she asked as she stared at me " Mum this is Elizabeth, my best friend " she said " Oh it's nice to finally meet you Betty. Alex has told me so much about you, but it's nice to finally see that you are so pretty without description " she said and then hugged me" Thanks Mrs Paige " I said " Oh call my Cynthia " she said with a smile. " come on in " she said and we closed the door " Mum I'm going to help her settle in the room and we will be back. " Alex said and her mum nodded before leaving for the kit

" Good morning " I said with a smile." How do you feel ? " she asked trying to smile." Well I slept well, I feel great " I said and she frowned " Stop it. I don't like that you are trying to act like you don't remember anymore " she said slowly." I don't understand " I said with an odd look" what are you saying ?.. I should be asking you why you cried " I said with a frown." Betty do you really want to keep secrets from me ? " she whispered " Okay now I'm getting annoyed " I said and she stood up from the bed and then walked to the mirror before bringing it to the bed, she handed the mirror over to me" Are you pranking me ? " I said, smiling" Look into the mirror Elizabeth " she said with so much seriousness and I looked into the mirror. the person I saw in the mirror scared the death out of me. my eyes were red and swollen. I had tear lines all over my face. that explains my headache.

" What is making you so happy and don't you look good " Cole said as I sat down during lunch with he and Alex. Yes I'm putting on blue shorts and a black lacey top and no I didn't pick these clothes for myself, the culprit herself is sitting down smiling devilishly" Thanks, you are added to the list of people that told me that today " I said and opened the juice box on my tray." So what happened ? " Alex asked me, a smirk on her face" Well nothing much except my study meeting just turned into a date " I said with a smile, trying my best not to blush." Oh I see Adam finally grew the balls to ask you out " Cole said" What do you mean ? " I asked him" You didn't hear anything from me so just continue your lunch. I'm happy you have a date " he said and Alex glared at him. I stared at the both of them, they are like sly rats, I'm sure they are hiding something." Finally I get to prepare you for two dates " Alex yelled out." Two dates ? " he asked us" Yeah Shawn asked her out too.

" Be home before eleven thirty " someone yelled and we all looked up to see Raphael shirtless and standing by his window shooting Shawn a death glare." Yes " Shawn said and I could tell he was scared. " It's okay. " I assured him. " bye alex " I said and she waved before shutting the door, at last Shawn and I were alone." You look beautiful Betty " he said and I blushed before looking at him." You are not bad " I said and he laughed before opening the door of the car so I can get in. as soon as I am settled in the passenger's seat, he closed the door and then got into the drivers seat. I buckled my seatbelt as he started the car then he drove out of Alex's neighborhood into the big road." Where are we going ? " I asked him " My dad's restaurant " he said and gave me a smile, his eyes glued to the road. " Okay " I muttered before sitting back on my chair. I stared at him as he stared at the road, he looked so serious and I couldn't help but think he is going to be someone who ca

Did he stand me up?. he could have just told me if he wasn't interested in taking me out in the first place, why did he have to make a fool of me. well a player will always be a player, I don't know why I got my hopes up for nothing. " He is here " alex said almost yelling as she pulled me to look outside the window.He pulled the helmet off his head and then got off his bike, wait I didn't know he owned a bike?. am I supposed to get on that thing with him I rushed outside the door,okay I was pushed outside the door by Alex who gave me a grin. I composed myself and watched as he walked up to the porch, as I stood there, I took everything in, from his leather jacket to his black jeans and his white tee shirt to his black boots. his hair was messier than ever thanks to the helmet and it made him sexier.
