Chapter 41Jason''Hey, how are you doing?'' I was surprised when I saw Regina's name appear on my phone. She hardly called and I realized that this was probably the first time she was calling me. Luckily for me, I was just coming out of the bathroom when her call came in. If I had missed it, I wouldn't have liked it at all.''I'm fine. I know you're surprised i called.'' she chuckled.''Trust me, i am but it's a good surprise.'' I smiled.The rain has since stopped, leaving behind a cool night air that made the whole environment relaxing and a little bit warm.''Thank goodness. I just wanted to thank you for today, you know standing up against Angie when she wanted to talk bad to me. No one would have ever done that for me… thank you.''''Regina, you really don't need to thank me. I told you before, I do what I do because I like you very much. You've shown to me and all those who are very observant that you have a good heart. I don't care what anyone says about you, i love you and t

Chapter 43Regina ''Remember, you only have this chance. Don't waste it.''I jerked awake when I felt a tap on my hand. Standing in front of me was Franka, the least person I expected to see. What was she looking for when she had made it clear that she was with Angie.''Yes?'' I asked, looking at her with scorn in my eyes.I wanted her to know that I didn't appreciate anyone waking me from my nap. We had a free period before our next class commenced and now, Franka had successfully ruined it and what's worse, she disrupted the voice speaking to me.''Why are you frowning?'' she asked, rolling her eyes.Was this girl dumb or what? I wasn't even that surprised that she was acting this way. She was as dumb as her friend, Angie.''Didn't you meet me sleeping?'' I asked.I was irritated by her attitude and wanted to do away with her as fast as possible. I didn't know what she wanted but the earlier I did away with her, the better for me. ''Anyway, your cheerleading

Chapter 45ReginaIt was Friday afternoon and I was home. We usually close very early on this day and now, i had all the time in the world to prepare for the movie night Jason and i were having in his home. I didn't know what movie it was because he had refused to tell me but my guesses were leaning on the new series of the Fast and Furious Franchise. Jason was very secretive on things like that and if I got it right, he owed me icecream for the rest of the month.''You're going out?''My mother was at the door, looking at me with a small smile on her face. I didn't want to tell her about it so she wouldn't bother that much but now that she had seen me, i knew that i had to tell her everything i was about to do.''Yes mom, I have a movie night with Jason. He's a school friend of mine,'' I added quickly.''I hope it's safe?'' she asked, fear crossing her eyes.I know what she meant. Ever since my dad was arrested for his supposed fraud, my mother had been having the feeling that we mig

Chapter 47JasonFuck! Why did I kiss her?! Why?! Sometimes, it was best if i listened to the voice in my head but no, like the fool i was, i had ignored it, instead doing contrary to what it said. Now, I had to fight off the awkwardness I knew was sure to follow.''Sorry,'' I said with a sheepish look on my face.''It's fine! Don't apologize again.'' she laughed.Soon, the end credits of the movie appeared and I couldn't believe that it was over. It had been so short but I knew that it was longer than that. The reason why it had been so short for me was because I had eyes on Regina the whole time. Now, it is finished and she will be leaving soon. I felt a sadness in me that couldn't be compared to any other thing.''Want to make some popcorn?'' I asked, rising to my feet.I dragged her with me as she burst out laughing in delight. She gave me a brilliant smile, one that I would forever remember.''You could have said that before we began the movie. Why now? You're just so weird.'' sh

Chapter 49ReginaThe next day at school, I was feeling a bit more relieved. I couldn't quite put a finger on what it was that made me relieved but the feeling was there. It just felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I knew it was about the call I had with my father and also the fact that Jason had been a great help to me. Now, it just seemed like I was breathing a different kind of air with a lot of peace within me. It was surreal as well as beautiful.''Is it me or you're actually glowing?'' Jason asked.He had gotten to school late that morning, walking in like he actually owned the place. The look on his face was one of calmness and I felt closer to him than how I was before.''Hey love,'' he smiled, kissing my forehead.Now, he just didn't care about people seeing him do that and I loved it for us. It just made this thing we were doing much stronger than how it was before. Now, I could breathe freely without minding what anyone says and it was such a good feel
