It's been two weeks now after Alexa's birthday party. A lot has happened within that two weeks. Adrian and Alison are becoming so close that I'm getting concerned but Carey will always say he trusts him and also my dear cousin likes him too. I don't know why I'm thrusting Carey but I know I do. This is strange. Why did I become friends with Carey, a boy, so easily. Did I really dislike boys or I just thought I did because I never lived with one.

These are the questions I haven't got answers to. I don't know why I like Carey as a friend and now I'm starting to regret it.

A girl named Bianca started acting weirdly with me. She is a cheerleader and also popular. She was Carey's girlfriend when they were in grade ten. She was the reason why Carey's ex - girlfriend, Katherine broke up with him, the poor girl has no other option so she went for another guy. Bianca says she doesn't want Carey as a boyfriend and she is still not letting him go with another girl. She is dating the captain of the football team or I should say she was. They broke up when he caught her saying things to Carey and forcing him to kiss her. The poor guy wasn't expecting it so he left her. Well, my friend has 'girlfriends'. Alisha told me he is  a great player if that's all I need to know.

It all started with Bianca and her other two friends waylaying me. I didn't tell anyone especially my mum. But I told Alison and Alisha. I didn't tell mum because I don't want her to be worried. Alisha advised me not to mind her and not to show her I'm terrified of her. I heed to her advice and always act like a courageous one when she comes my way. She stalks me in the restroom, park even class. Always telling me to leave her boyfriend.

I realized she was referring to Carey, I informed Carey about everything that has been happened. He was angry and was about to go to Bianca and her friends but I stopped him. U thought it will be better if the matter was being settled wisely instead of fighting each other like immature chicks.

I really don't want problems with a popular in this new school. Exams will be starting in two months. That's the little time I have to spend in high school so I want no serious trouble that has to do with making my life hell.

I actually don't get the point in fighting over a guy who isn't even your boyfriend when we both know most high school relationship ends at the school gate in high school. You, most of the time lose contact with close friends. It hurts to think about the departure but like goes on. I will have to go through all I went through when I left my former school. I missed all my girlfriends. They are so amazing but we still talk and video chat. That is not like hugging them the way I want right now.

Bianca was somehow dealt with. She suddenly stops all her harassment and troubles. She was kept quiet. The only thing she is doing is glaring while i also ignore her. I'm used to it. I heard that she was dealt with by a gang because she did something similar to the leader's girlfriend. Of course Carey and others told me that. I couldn't control my laughter when being told. I was so happy I won't have to deal with a hitch as a shadow everywhere I go. I felt so relieved.

Now back to school normally, I'm currently having my lunch at the cafeteria. I'm sitting with Carey, Alisha, Hunter, Alex, Rex, Nelson and Collins are. They picked another table here so I also joined them. Collins is so funny, he has been telling jokes all day.

I almost choked when he started the story of the birds and bees telling us like we are young kids. He reminded me of Alison grandmother, she'd always tell us different stories whenever we go to her place.

"Collins, you obviously aren't serious. Why would you even bring that up." Alisha laughed smacking his arm playfully. I have been noticing Alisha. It seems she has a crush on him but she denies whenever I try to bring the topic up.

"Yeah... I am . I have to see you laugh just little like the." Collins said looking into her eyes and she also was slightly blushing.

"And also because of the little baby we have here among us." Hunter pointed out looking at me. I know that was to tease me again. So I threw my fries at him and he caught it with his mouth. He winked and and I glared at him.

"I'm not a baby." I argued not wanting any more teasing from the boys especially Hunter.

"You are, Darling." Collins said to me in a tone you would use to speak to a kid. They all burst into laughter and I glared at them then, continue eating.

"You look just like one."

"And you have a young heart."

"Its okay". I spat.

"Where is Alison?" I asked trying to change the topic directing the question to no one in particular.

"She got a detention with her friend." Collins answered.

"Adrian?" I asked already guessing who the friend is. Collins nodded. Why would they get detention together. Adrian is a good guy and I can trust him now at least he is making my cousin happy. "Why?"

"They both were talking in history class and they ended up getting detention." He said shrugging like its none of his business.

Alison later got admitted into my school and now we go home together. It fortunately happened that Adrian lives with his uncle and that's not far away from our house. See, they are born to be together.

"I hope they don't end up making out in there." Rex said causing us to chuckle. Rex is just a bad boy that does not have a particular girlfriend. One night stand, that's what he does. He is currently going out with another slut now.

All boys here except Nelson are footballers. They should at the popular table but as our friends, they decided to stay here with us today. Carey sometimes invite me to the table but I love to stay with my limits so I don't always say yes to the offer.

"I'm going back to the class." Carey announced and turned to look at me. "Wanna go with me?" He asked me.

"Yeah.. I'm through." I nodded standing up. I heard hunter clearing his throat. I turned to him to give the look telling him not to start again and he raised his hand in surrender. He has always been teasing Carey and I. They think we like like each other but are not showing it.

But seriously, I do not want to get into any relationship not after all that happened with Bianca. To be honest, I like Carey, but I would never like to say that to anyone. He is my best friend. We've been so close lately. He has shown care and was with me when I was having problems. He has the qualities I would ever like a friend to have.

He shows respect to me but I do not understand why everyone gossip about us and look at me as if I'm a superwoman. I guess that has to do with tackling Bianca but its getting abnormal. Some even shake their head like they are pitying me.

We still have some who glare at me because they are clearly jealous, they flirt with Carey but he would just give only a smile or sometimes ignore them. Well, I don't care. I'm quite sure I'm not making a mistake.

Hmm, Ms. Right.

We both went to the class and took our seats at the front. I'm not one of those who seat at the back, I always sit here.

Nelson will always seat at the back. He seems like he has a dark heart, he never smile at anyone but Kylie. That's his girlfriend, he really loves her and I respect their love. I also respect Kylie for dating someone like Nelson, she is brave.

The came in some minutes after the bell rang. All that happened for the rest day went in blur.

When the bell rang, all students departed and we all went our ways. Adrian has a car so the four of us went home in his car. Collins also takes Alisha home in his car. The ride was fun. We listened to songs and also had our little chat the way we do everyday.
