"Uh..Adelle ? What are you so excited about ?"
Allison asked awkwardly. I gave Nabil one last squeeze before letting him go, and turned to her. Luckily not everyone was paying attention to me, but certainly Allison did.

"They don't sell those books anywhere in Egypt. I just wanted to read them in real life, you know ? Where did you find them, Nabil ?"
Nabil shrugged.
"I literally saw them on that bench outside. Didn't you just hear me ?"

He responded, with a sarcastic end.
He just spends too much time with Allison.
"Whatever, thanks."
I shrugged, sitting down, and started to read the books.

In Another Place :

Barron was standing near his locker when someone familiar walked up to him.
Black hair, light, grey eyes. Slim, taller figure.
John.
John, his bully, was smirking like an idiot.
"Look who's here ? Back from Egypt, I guess ?"

Barron rolled his eyes.
"Get lost, John. I mean it."
He ordered. John only chuckled, and stepped more towards him, an inch telling them apart. Suddenly, he took a grip on the younger one's shirt, making Barron flinch.
"L-Let go."
He spoke softly, stuttering.

"What was Egypt like, Trump ? Did you get cat-called by girls ? Why did you go there anyway..? Is it because your dear girlfriend didn't want to be alone ?"
John said in a low voice, with a tone of provocation.
"Stop. Don't you dare talk about her."
Barron ordered again, his eyes sparkling.

"Are those tears in your eyes ? Wow, Trump, you're such a disgrace."
As Barron tried to push his bully away, he heard a loud crack, and felt his cheek growing hot with pain at first, then numb.
He slapped him.

"How dare you !"
Barron yelled, then tried to push John away for the second time, but he felt himself falling to the floor with a loud thud.
His shocked expression didn't leave his face, moving his hand to touch his back, which throbbed painfully because of the force of the fall.

"Be careful who you talk to next time. I might not go so easy on you."

A Few Hours Later :
Adelle's P.O.V :

As I read the last scene of what I had written, I heard my phone ringing again.
I sighed in boredom, and picked up my phone.
Call from..
Unknown Number.

I didn't know if I should answer it or not, as we were about to shoot one of the first scenes of my novel. I nodded at Hayden, who nodded back, and went outside.

Then I pressed on the Accept button, putting the phone close to my ear.
"Hello ?"
I heard a soft, feminine voice on the other end.
"Hello ? Who is this ?"
I asked gently.

"Um, hello, this is Bonnie.."

...

"Okay, Bonnie. Thanks for sharing this information with me. I'll try to do something about it."
I assured.
"Okay, thanks. You're nicer than I thought."
She complimented, and I smiled.

"Thanks. Are you sure you can be here any time soon ? I really want to meet you."
I spoke gently. I heard her sigh.
"Trust me, I would love to. But, you know my foster dad.."

"Yes. I do, but I hope I'll see you soon."
A few moments later, I hung up. I glanced around, looking to see if anyone heard my conversation. But I saw something that made me upset.

To Be Continued..
