More than My Friend

Ch. 6Chapter 5


"This is messy" I muttered under my breath and sighed yet again.

"Would you like to tell us something, Daniella? You look like you have a lot to share already" I was startled when our lecturer called my name and asked that question.

I looked around me and saw that some of my coursemates turned to look at me and I don't like it one bit, the fact that everyone was looking at me made me so conscious and wished that I didn't come out today.

'Was it that noticeable that I was in so many thoughts? Was it because I sighed so much or the fact that I wasn't paying attention to her class?'

I wasn't paying attention so... oh no, I don't want extra assignments. Doing extra school work when I want to be by myself is the last thing I wanted right now.

I gulped nervously and managed to spread a smile across my lips then look past the students looking at me and focused my gaze on the lecturer.

"Uh, no ma. I—er, I was just thinking about... uh... nothing actually"

She crossed her arms and gave me a hard look while I pray within that she doesn't ask me what she has been saying or else that would be trouble for me. She looked like she wanted to say something but decided to let it go and continue her teaching but not forgetting to throw a warning glare my way.

This Leo issue is getting to my head and I need to focus on school and other things that need my attention.

Maybe I should talk to him and ask why he didn't tell me or... ugh! I really don't know what to say or do now?

I agreed that I would have expected him to have a girlfriend or something but he would have at least warned me beforehand and not let what happened over the weekend happen.

To be honest, I felt embarrassed and it felt like I was going after a guy who is already taken. I couldn't see the reaction or looks of people at the restaurant because I was too embarrassed and angry to do so when I ran off with my head down and my eyes clouded with unshed tears.

But I was so sure that people were looking at us and they probably think that I was a boyfriend snatcher or something... like I didn't do anything because I was unaware that... that Leo had a girl without hinting it at me.

He would have told me rather I had it slapped on my face in the midst of so many people. So... embarrassing.

Lectures went by pretty well... I guess and I tried my best to concentrate on at least one thing she was saying but my mind couldn't.

I couldn't stop thinking about what happened during the weekend and there is only one way to get it over with.

"Where in the world will I see that man and probably give him a piece of my mind or just ask nicely what that was?" I asked myself as I entered the school cafeteria and saw how cramped up it was.

He couldn't be here. Leo hates crowdy places so I have to go somewhere and find him.

Just as I turned to leave, I bumped into someone and I so wished the ground opened and swallowed me whole.

She is the last person I wanted to have an encounter with after what happened.

"Did you see my boyfriend?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.

I couldn't understand why I felt intimidated by her. It possible couldn't be because I felt a tiny bit of jealousy against her or that she just gives out a negative vibe.

I will pick the latter.

"Er... no?" I asked unsurely.

"Do you have another little date with him?" she asked another weird but annoying question"

I really don't want to talk to this lady now so I began walking past her as I shook my head negatively at her question.

"Look here Daniella or I could just call you Ella," she said.

'We aren't acquainted don't call me that' I screamed in my head but what came out of my mouth made me want to bang my head against the wall.

"I... I guess I prefer you call me Daniella if you want" I squeaked.

What am I scared of? Amara can't scare me... I can't be scared of anyone and no one should have any leverage over me.

"Ella it is, well anyways I just want you to know this. Leo told me some things about you, they are great things you have nothing to worry about but when we met, he was kinda sad and lonely and I was there for him when the person he needed the most was having the time of her life with some dude she picked over him" she crossed her arms and gave me a hard look.

"Now, I and Leo have come a long way together and I don't want someone coming in between us, he is mine and I am his and when someone tries to take whatever belongs to me, I'll do anything in the world to get them out of the way. For good" she said and I felt my heart skip a beat.

She looked didn't look like she was bluffing... she could be serious and it reminded me of some people I still haven't gotten over or will ever get over.

"Uh... I don't understand what you are saying but I am not trying to steal anyone's boyfriend" I told her trying not to sound as shaky as I felt.

"Good, I see that we will not have a problem and even we could be friends" she laughed a bit and I looked at her strangely.

She is someone I would want to stay away from. She is giving me bad vibes and I am uncomfortable.

"I... uh... don't enjoy making friends, I gotta go," I said and walked off quickly, I bumped into someone but didn't wait to see who it was since I just wanted to be very far from her.

I heard Leo's voice call me but he was the reason she is acting like that and saying threatening words to me so I better avoid him and sort out this feeling all by myself.

Now I wish this was the time I just wanted to be alone without having anyone disturb my peace.
