CHAPTER FOUR

THOMPSON'S POV

The whole class had group assignments to do so we stayed behind to complete the task before we step foot out of the class. If not, the work will not be done well or will be done by the group leader only since there some stubborn and uncaring group members who will not care immediately they leave campus. We stayed almost one and half hours back on campus to finish up. Dora's group finished theirs before mine. Dayne is their group leader and therefore will have to keep their group work. He stepped out before I could realize. Not long after my driver arrived and I had to leave. I asked permission from our group leader and left since we were all done just correcting some mistakes. I followed him to the car park and sat down at the back seat. I was really tired and hungry.

What did I just see?

My bestfriend happily chatting with the girl I want? What is going on? How did they become friends? I know they are group mates but when did they start walking to the bus station together.

Dayne will see how I will deal with him for taking away my girl from me. I couldn't sleep throughout the night. I was thinking of what to do to befriend Dora. I want to get her attention. Sheila is not someone I want to be with. She doesn't know she wants. I became worried again when I remembered that Dora saw us yesterday. What went through her mind. Sheila is just a spoilt brat who always thinks she could get everything she so desires. She always looks down on the less privilege because she is filthy rich. I want a girl I could trust. A girl who also thinks about others as humans and not only her family.

I think its because of what she Dora saw Sheila did today at the car park that is why she keeps ignoring me.

I wish I could go to her and explain everything to her that I want to be her friend . I am not Sheila's friend anymore. Although she is stressing me and embarrassing me everyday in school. Dayne should have explained this to her on my behalf and not just befriending her. I thought I could get the opportunity to be her friend through the help of Dayne. I didn't think of offering them lift because of the anger in me. I was so angry for no reason. For no reason because, the person whom I am angry at is not even aware. But I will still show him pepper for making me go through this.

------------------------------------------------

Today is another day. The first person I saw was Dora and I saw Dayne coming from the opposite direction to meet her. Are they just friends or there is something else going on. But it seems they are happy together.

I entered the class quietly and sat on my desk. Dayne didn't come close to me as he always does anytime he sees me angry and this time because he has a new friend, Dora.

Suddenly, Sheila appeared from nowhere.

" What are you doing in my class? " I questioned her.

" What else? But just to see you. Please forgive me. You know I like you so much. "she replied

" What? Forgive you? After seeing you kiss Jonathan Rivers right in front of me? You must be in sane for saying this. " I stood up to leave the room when she held my arm.

"Why cant you forgive me? I have said 'I'm so sorry' several times. What else should I do for you to know I'm sorry. "she answered

"I was never interested and am not interested in your friendship. You don't know what you want Sheila. If you do, you wouldn't be going about kissing anyone you see. Leave me alone. Please" I realized I was shouting.

I turned to see almost all my mates in the class looking at us especially Dora and my bestfriend, Dayne . "Leave this place now and I don't want to see you crossing my path anywhere. I'm no more your friend so let me be. Please leave this class now."

She left with tears in her eyes right after I spat those words on her. I could feel she was embarrassed.

Its not my fault. I'm not in a good mood today. I turned to look at Dayne and I left the class to the rest room. Its seems today is a bad day for me. I met Dayne on my way to class.

"I came to talk to you. I also realized you are not in a good mood. What is going on between you two?" he asked.

"If you really care you won't be with a girl leaving me alone to face the situation. Go to your new friend and let me be." I walked passed him.

"What do you mean new friend? We we...re just doing our group assignment together. And what has that got to do with you and Sheila. I am just concerned about you...."

"No, you are not. And leave me alone. Okay. Go to your new friend" I cut him short

"Hey, are you jealous? You are still my bestfriend. I know you have a thing for this girl but I don't think she does or will ever do okay. And mind you there is nothing going on between us. Okay. Its just our group assignment. So if you have anything to say to Dora, make sure you do that on your own and do not waste any more time. And stop blaming me for your predicaments. Suit yourself." he passed by me after talking.

What has come over Dayne? He has never talked to me like that before. What then happened now? Was it just because I blamed him or is there more to it? I walked quietly back to the class and concentrated on the lesson throughout the rest of the day. I didn't contribute in class today the way I usually do. I think I have to work on myself so as to not get angry at small issues like this. I feel bad for drawing my bestfriend away. He even came to me out of concern but I blew him off.
