PHOEBE'S POV.
"Phoebe, are you sure you can handle this?"
Harold asks with worry written all over his face.
"Don't worry about me."
This whole thing is starting to get on my nerves. Why is everybody behaving as if heavens just came down on earth? I have leaved three good years Without the thought of Percy crossing my mind.I believe I have completely gotten over him and his sudden presence here won't change anything. Harold has been the one to show me true love.I'm stuck with him.
" its getting late." I break the silence.
" I guess I'll have to leave now.
Phoebe, call me when the need arrives. Take care."
He places a kiss on my forehead and walks out of the room. I coil up in bed and squeeze my eyes tight, hoping that sleep comes soon to take me away from the collection of memories................
Kait and I takes the shortcut to the university. The same path where I was hit by a ball last week.
" that's your guy,the one who kicked the ball at you the other time." Kait gestures before us.
"Which of them was it? I don't even recall his ugly face." I lied. That face could never leave my mind. I think I even dreamed of it.
"That one.and he doesn't have an ugly face girl..... He seems to be coming this way.."
What does he want? I ask myself. He stops before us wearing a smile like he just saw father Christmas drive by.
"Heii look who we have here, it's the girl with a full mouth." He calls out to his friends. I frown.
"Today I'm not kicking a ball." He says.
" So? You want to kick me then? " I ask in an angry tone,trying to sound annoyed.
"The name is Percy." He stretches out his hands.
"I don't remember asking for your name." I say, ignoring the pounding of my heart.
"But I want to know yours. Will you tell me? "
"Out of my way! " I pull kait after me. He catches me by my dress and I shake him off.
"Oh come on,just want to be friends." He raise his hands in the air.
On second thought, I decided to give this guy my piece of my mind.
"Listen pretty boy, you think you can disrespect me then come back, sweet talk me and I'll do what? Smile sweetly at you? You've got the wrong girl. Better luck next time.. Let's go Kait."
We walk on.
I heard his friends whistling and giggling behind us. Good. He's learnt his lesson.
Kait burst into laughter as soon as we were out of sight.
"That was so fierce girl.....did you see his face? Oh my God Phoebe!...."
"It isn't funny.." I said with a small smile playing on my face.
"But I think you're being too harsh on him. I mean the guy is really good looking...this could be your chance to finally..you know....."
"Oh shut up!. Why is everyone recently on my matter? Can't I breath without someone reminding me that I need to get laid before I turn 19? Yea I get it...I'm a loner so what!"
Giggling, she said, " you're just strong headed...loosen up girl....and give Percy a chance..."
"Ugh.......who's that?" I pretend.
"I know you know who..." She chuckled.
The next day as I walk down the road that leads to my house,I realize I'm being followed by two boys.it was 10 in the evening which gave me every right to panic . the road was deserted too. I quicken my steps but they catch up with me soon.
" where are you going pretty? " they don't look familiar so i try to walk away.one of them grabs my purse from behind.
"Give it back!" I yell
"Chill baby.I'll give it back. Only if she'll let me give her a treat,right Ralf? "
" sure." The other agrees.
"I don't need it.just give me my purse so that I can get going."
"Why? Is someone else waiting for you?"
" let me go." I'm beginning to get scared.then came a voice from behind.
"Why don't you pick on someone your size? He looks pass them at me .You ok Phoebe?"
I choke and nods my head.the boy with my purse hands it over to him and push the other and off they run.I sigh with relieve.
"You? "
"Yea me." He hands me my purse and takes the lead.
"What are you doing out here so late.?is quite unusual." He questions.
"I fell asleep at Kait's place and that stupid girl, she didn't wake me up when leaving for her dads.I tried to call my brother to pick me up but he isn't responding..... How did you know my name?" I ask in surprise.
"I get to know everything I want."he smirks..
"You went asking about me? "
"Yes".
"Why? "
" nothing. Wanted to know this girl who has so much guts to talk back at me."
" I wasnt talking back at you. I was only putting you in your place. so no girl has? "
"Not until you showed up".
Rolling my eyes, I look him over and he looks at me.why? What's so special about him? I ask myself.
"So what did you find out.........are you a student at the university?"
"Yea,your father is my professor."
" who did you ask of me from? "
" you ask too many questions...Who doesnt know you on this campus? here we are."
I look up and find we are already in front of my house.
" thanks for saving me." I say shyly.
" Aww....you could do better than that..." He fake hurt.
Folding my arms against my chest, I eyed him suspiciously.
"What does that mean?" I asked
"Your number? It won't be enough to make up for the trouble I went through to get you to safety but..mm,ill consider.." He grinned.
He just came to my rescue,it would be rude to snap at him or walk out on him. So I snatched the phone in his outstretched hand and began to type in my number. His grin widened.
"Don't be too happy yet pretty boy. This....doesn't mean anything. We aren't friends and you better not blow up my phone. After two rings if there's no answer just stop..are we clear?"
He threw his head back and laughed.
"Oh I like this girl....." He said to no one in particular and I lowered my eyes.
"I'm serious here...if you blow up my phone I'll block you.."
"Okaaaaay....."soo,I guess I'll be seeing you around Phoebe. " he says after a while
"I guess....."
"Percy." He tells me.
I nod
"Percy". I repeat.He waves me good bye and I shut the door behind me.
I can't believe it!!
