[JAZ AMANDA POV]My mood is a pain in the ass. All day and this cropped up for the first time. It's her choice if she doesn't want to talk to me for good, but I hope she returns to school. That's all I'm concerned about in her. My soul ceases for a moment, thinking. Wait! Is that really the reason? Why do I make an effort like this?! Oh shit! Nevermind!"Jaz, I'm glad you're here now. How's school?" my nanny asked with a sheepish smile. A crooked grin takes over to hide my moodiness as I lied, saying it's all great. The truth is, all I could think of was Anika, the headstrong girl I had ever met in my entire life."Nanny, I'll just get changed and rest for a while. Maybe I'll eat later. Besides, it's too early," I stated, acting as expected. I don't want her to figure out that I'm not okay. Nanny Cynthia knows me very well, aside from my parents. It won't help if she worries."Okay, my dear. Just let me know. I'm only here in the kitchen." Nanny Cynthia responded. I went to my room af

"Alright! You won! I was looking for you," hesitated, but Jaz bravely admitted it. My eyes narrowed. Supposed to thank her for saving me, but no guts to dare to come out because I had mistreated her. "Hey! Anika. Are you still there?" she asked, pondering. My lips seemed to harden and lock. No words! Thank goodness our break is almost done. "Let's go back to our room," I let her step first after saying that. I can sense her wanting me to say sorry. I liked that too, but how? Damn! I had never said sorry in my whole life. [JAZ AMANDA POV]I don't know if she's numb or doesn't care what she told me. I don't need her to thank me, but at least say sorry for how she made me feel, but she's also not at fault. I just feel like I deserved it. While walking back to our room, disturbing sounds made me stop. Oh shit! I didn't have my lunch yet. My hand deliberately rubbed my tummy, and I swallowed. My throat is also dry. "Is there a problem, Jaz?" I get annoyed, feeling like I'm becoming ca

"What are you doing, Jaz?" "Ahh!" I cried out, stunned. "Nanny! Oh my god. I'm going to have a heart attack." I held my chest in shock. "What are you doing at this time?" She turned on the light, realizing what I was busy with right now. "Because you didn't eat before hitting the sack, why are you still wearing your uniform?" "I fell asleep, nanny. I didn't realize." "By the way, Anika came here earlier, but you are not getting up." I shifted in disbelief. "What?! Nanny, why didn't you wake me up?" I vocalize in annoyance, irked deep inside. She must have knocked at my door, but I played music to ignore it—what a waste of opportunity. "Why are you acting like that? You could talk to her at school, though." She beams unconsciously. My chest felt like it was going to explode. Anika went to me, but I was asleep. What the heck?! Shit! I was suddenly disgusted with myself. "I'm so sorry. My bad," I apologized for my impulsive behavior. Nanny helped me reheat the food I too

[NARRATOR]"Jaz, let's go?" Anika said as she stood to approach Jaz when the class was over. She was excited to have time with Jaz so they could fix their misunderstanding, but sadly, Gwen seemed like want to get along too. "Where are you guys going? Can I come with you?" Anika got confused hearing Jaz."Yes, better go with Gwen so you can reunite. I remember I still have work to do in the library, and we also have a meeting with the class presidents." Jaz chose to lie. Suddenly she preferred not to be around Anika. "Wait! We already agreed earlier," Anika interrupted. "My bad, Anika. Perhaps next time. Bye!" waving her hand as she walks away. Anika was left dumbfounded. "Come on, Anika. Take me around this school. We haven't seen each other for a long ago. Look at you, and you're still pretty." Gwen stated as she hauled Anika with her. [JAZ AMANDA POV]Here's what I've been waiting for, and it's time to breathe. Finally, I can get away with Anika for a while.I'm a bit annoyed.

[JAZ AMANDA POV] I didn't expect Anika to pull me over. I could have refused and avoided it, but I just let her hold my hand. Maybe I wanted that too. She didn't let go until we got to where I caught her smoking. Anika released one and then lit it. She started smoking."Stop that! That's not good for your health!" I took it out from her mouth, threw and stepped on it."Oh! My bad. I thought you smoked too.." Anika smirk."What's your problem? Why did you bring me here?" I said in disgust. I'm not in the mood to argue, but here we are. "What's wrong with you? You suddenly changed your mind yesterday." I can sense the annoyance in her voice."What is this all about, Anika?" I asked, ensuring it was about yesterday for not going with her."You agreed to have lunch with me, then suddenly changed your mind..""Ahh! So that's the issue. My god, Anika. Then let's have lunch now!" I made it sounds offensive."Nevermind! Your boyfriend might be looking for you.." "He is not my boyfriend! Ok
