SHADE OF LOVE

It all stared on that rainy friday night,been far from home and morning seemed so far off.

Lost all hope of being found, felt forgotten but within myself i was greatly seeking for hope.

I should have listened to mum and stayed back but was too angry to listen to anyone.

This week has just been the worst week of my life, today can't be any better!.

Andrea was so lost in thought looking for the best words to describe how she felt but was brought back to life by the cling from the window....

Hi am Andrea reels and these my story

*******

Just a teenager with an average life that's me andera(gigles within herself)wanting more from life , big dreams , big dreams i have!.

Next week would be my second semester at high school and i still haven't prepared myself

Not sure am ready. I can't face anyone after what happened earlier this year, haven't gotten over the hurt, jacob really disgraced me publicly for expressing my feelings too him. Is it bad to love?

Hmph am so not ready (she begins to sob again) and falls asleep.

Andrea! andrea! andrea! Mum calls for you said britteny her senior sister, britteny barges into her room yelling her name while throwing a pillow at her.

Andrea reel i said mum calls for you downstairs. Britteny why you yelling my name this morning is too early and i wanna sleep some more..."Andrea what's wrong I've been calling your name for quite some time and the best reply you could give is you wanna sleep some more."

Yeah yeah i wanna sleep don't feel like leaving my room so please just leave.Andrea don't tell me you're still upset about what that jacob guy did to you. Hmmm, you have to put yourself together, jacob is not the end of the world,he doesn't even deserves you so pull yourself together and come downstairs mum is waiting okay.! Okay let me just freshen up a bit.Make it quick.

Yes baby I promise to get you the shoes. Lemme go check up on Andrea.

******

While in the changing room Andrea heard some gigling and could swear those voices were familair so she pepped through the door only to find out that her lost lover was romancing the most famous girl in school Beckley. Seeing this Andrea was lost in thought she couldn't move nor say a word she could only sob. Her sobbing became louder and before she could leave they both came out off the room . Not knowing what to do she could only stare at them in disbelief suddenly she mortted why, Jacob laughed at her calling her silly for asking such questions.

Beckley was surpised because she had no idea on what's going on.Jacob who is she beckley asked, she's no one he replied "she's just some cheap girl who keeps throwing herself to me".Andrea was taken back by what he said and had no words to defend herself with. Babe is she the one that you told me about?The weird girl that keeps being clingling towards you? Yes honey that her, she's just so obessed and can't help herself when she sees me am sure she was watching us to know what we were doing. 

No i wasn't I,I overheard some weird noise so i came to check it out. You mean you overheard this (beckly starts moarning) yeah heard that didn't mean to invade in your privacy.

"Just be careful said beckly and Jacob is mine so whatever you think you have for him is best you cut it off. Stay away from us pervert unless you wanna get hurt." 

Andrea could only nod in agreement and runs away. She could feel her heart racing, the store was becoming hotter so she went to get a drink.She got an Orange chilled drink and started gulping it. 

She drank like her life depended on it. Daven 6 fit tall, blue eyes,light brown hair,rounded face with a well built body was observing her from a distance and decided to apporach her.

Hi pretty you're gat to slow down on that drink if not you're gonna choke, probably to death.Is gonna be a shame for someone as pretty as you to choke herself to death with an orange drink.

Andrea felt a light smile on her face.It was the first time someone complimented her and cared for her apart from her family.She pulles the drink from.her mouth and looked at him, she could only stare at his well rounded face,perfect body and lips. She was so lost in thought and couldn't hear him. The earlier event kept playing in her head over and over again. She felt like she had just seen a movie.

Daven noticed she was lost and looking pale.He snapped his finger twice and like magic she came out from her thoughts. As a little boy "Daven was thought snapping your finger helps people to come out from deep thoughts."

Hey I've been talking to you since..sorry what were you saying? Is not really important,by the way am Daven...Am Andrea nice meeting replied daven while they shook hands.uhmm thanks for making sure i didn't choke myself to death. You're welcome just don't get so lost in your thoughts again, doesn't really look good on such a beautiful face.It makes you look pale. Thanks i won't.

I have to go now my mum would be looking for me by now. Hope to see you soon said daven as they departed.

Andrea dear, are you still inside? Mum turn around.Dear where have you been?I've been looking all around for you,went round the whole mall.Did anything happen dear? No mum everything is fine I just went to get a drink was feeling hot. You sure you're okay? Yes mum am fine. 

You can talk to me honey you look so pale.

Am just tired mum nothing else. Okay dear if you say so. Mum where's Junior.?

He's waiting by the car outside, while don't you go outside and stay with him.let me pay for our clothes and check something. Okay mum but don't be long we still have to get some groceries.ohh that's true , not sure it will work today.will get it tomorrow on my way from work.

Ann i saw you talking to a guy, you got some really good eyes huh. He's really cute he could be your Mr right. Hope he collected your number. Junior you no much for your age, get into the car mum is out. "Did i just see you blush ,Andrea is blushing he shout!! Junior keep quite you're shouting she said in a low voice."

Come on guys lets go.You heard her junior lets go. As they got into the car junior told their mum about daven.Mum Andrea has a crush.Is not true mum junior is just overreacting.Mum am not she has one.Okay okay I've heard you both we will talk about this when we get home.

(Junior laughs inwardly)

Chapter 2

Engine stops.

Andrea help me with some bags,Looks like we bought the whole mall Andrea says. Well we spent enough for a day am so tired. Drop this on the counter is for your sister.

Am so so tired.Mum you've been saying these since we came back. Yeah that's because am really tired dear. "Will go and freshen up is best you do the same Mum."

*knocks at the door*

Come in said sarah(Andrea's mum)

Hello mum, honey do you need anything?No mum I just wanna have a conversation with you.. Ann am a little bit busy now,I have a business metting to attend in half an hour.

As you can see am not ready yet, uhmm why don't we talk later when am back.

Mum i won't take long, I ,I just want to tell you something. Okay baby am all ears...

(Hesitates a little)

Mum I can't continue at Prestige high. I want to enrool in another school, I know is sudden but please I can't go back there.Do you have any reasons for not going back? [She asks while adjusting her gloss] Yes mum I've a reason for not going back there, okay baby we will talk when I get back.

Mum I might be asleep by the time you get back. This just four in the evening baby will be back before Eight o'clock. Will sleep early because am not feeling too good.

Okay baby we can talk about these tomorrow okay. (Sarah steals a look at herself once more and rushes out of the room) Mum I just need you to say yes! Andrea we will talk about these later okay iI really need to be on my way [She gets her key from the counter and exits ]

I think I should talk to Britney about these, she will understand me. (She says within herself)

Britney Open the door Is Andrea (She calls from outside) Britney gets up to open the door. Ann what do you need this time around, the last time you entered my room was a total mess.Brit am not here for anything I just want to talk to you about something ,okay, yeah,come in. (Door closes). Brit I need you to help me convince mum, I want to enroll in another school. Wait,slow down here, what do you mean enroll in another school?Brit it means what you're thinking I want to change school Prestige high is just not for me with everything that happened I just don't want to go back there. Ann you don't need to change school because of what happened ,What will happen to the friends you have over there ann? Brit you know I don't really keep friennds, fair enough ann but you have a life in prestige high,prom is just some semester away. My life ended the day Jacob disgraced me brit. Get over that guy Andrea he doesn't deserve you, stop being depressed for someone who care less of how you feel.

"come on look at yourself". Andrea stares at herself from the mirror, you're a young lady who needs to be treated with respect, cared for and loved irrespectively. Jacob doesn't deserve you and never will. So just suck the pain up and get over him!.

He's my first love Britney you won't understand how it feels. Maybe I do or maybe I don't but Ann you deserve to be treated far off from the way he treated you.

I know you still loved him but what did you get at the end.. you were hurt ann he used you to show off himself too everyone.

(She begins to sob)

Brit I still love him I do.. I know he likes me, maybe i did something, ann you did nothing wrong ( she goes over to her and begins to pat her)Jacob is a scumbag, brit we went for dinner,went to the movies , face timed all the time ,we even played games together so what changed brit what changed?

(Andrea begins to cry)

Hush Ann is gonna be alright (Brit tires to console her)Is gonna be fine.I know we weren't dating but it felt like we were destined for one another .

I told him how i felt that night, he has always been my crush, my fantasy, he seemed okay with everything. He even kisser me and said he felt the same. Why did he end thing before it all started..

Ann stop crying over him.I wanna stop Brit I really wanna do (Andrea raises her head and look at her) Is anyhting wrong with me?why do the people I love so much always end up leaving, First dad left and now Jacob I ,I just cant take it anymore ( Brit hugs her tightly)Don't ever leave me brit.

No one is leaving Ann, Dad never left us he's always in our heart (she tries to suppress her tears)and I'll never leave you, I'm right here always.

Brit pulls away from her and looks at her

You remind me off dad ,you have his eyes(ocean blue)and his heart.He was the most kindest person I've ever seen never let anyone misuse the gift he gave to you ann.

Which gift brit?He's heart, you've his kind heart Andrea never forget that.

If he was here, he won't want you changing your school because of that scum bag instead you know what he would say..

"Face your fear ann,alot is waiting ahead of you"(the both said together and laughed)

They both stare at the door for a while.

Thanks brit, thanks alot I feel so much better.

You're welcome am always here for you.Brit am sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier just that I.. [Brit cuts her off ]no more talking about him and more cries for him. Sure I won't cry for him anymore, good.

So are you still changing school? No brit that's more like it.(The both laugh) you're the best sister anyone could ask for. Sure I am , you're the best drama sis too.

Drama sis (she giggles)Okay good night Brit, good night Ann.

(Door closes)

*********

Later at night was when Mrs Reels returned,she came in late because of the clash of interest between the board memebers. It seems everyone is after feeding their pocket (she says within herself).

Mrs Reels is a business woman,she's the board director of porsan's company(An upcoming company). They supply buiding materials and also deal in real estating.

She went in too check on her kids first before going to her room to freshen up. As she got into her room she pulled her clothes and fell on the bed. Didn't take long she doze off.

The Next morning she woke up early to prepare for a board metting. She went to have a quick breakfast,while eating she was rounding off her agenda for the new brand.

Andrea,Britney and Junior came down together, Good morning mum they greeted together, Morning sweethearts how was you guys night? was fine mum they replied. I've made beeakfast already, toasted some bread and made scrambled eggs is over there. Britney you make some tea everyone, will come in late today there's no need to wait up for me.

Andrea take my bag to the car.

*They both leave*

Ann, yes mum, I know you don't want to go back to prestige high but i don't have the money to enroll you in a different school. Buisness hasn't been going to good.

Mum is okay I thought about everything and I don't want to change school anymore. My reason for wanting to change was so silly so i decided to stay back. Okay bby am happy you changed your mind if things goes well and you still feel the need to change just let me know . Okay mum have a nice day and drive safe. Thanks bby.

She starts the engine and drives off.

CHAPTER 3

Slowly the week turned into days, days turned too hours and now in some mintues time Andrea will face her greatest fear. Andrea ain't you ready yet, junior calls.Mum said we should be down in five minutes.

Andrea is in her room sitting on the bed, she's lost in thoughts thinking about how the day will go,she kept replaying that days event in her head over again. She felt lost, Sarah came up to know what's taking her so long she knocks on the door,honey what's wrong, why aren't you ready yet? Mum I will be down in a minute. Okay hurry up unless you would be late. Will be there mum .

She took some deep breath and left the room.

Am all ready now will skip breakfast am not hungry. Ann you need to take something, will take some fruit instead.

Ann, junior wait for me outside let me just grab my bag then we can leave.

Brit came running downstairs)Ann i know you're feeling nervous but i know you can do these."Don't give a damn about what they say okay" You can do this, oh you look great, thanks brit.

Okay guys hurry get in the car let's go .All through the drive Ann couldn't stop thinking, she tried distracting herself with some music. Here we are guys,have a lovely day .

Junior taps Ann, ain't you gonna come down... ohh,ohh yeah, didn't realize we reached already.Thanks for the drive mum,your sister will pick you guys up

Ann stood at the entrance of the bulding scared of going in.. hey Dana how long have you been here, just came and saw you standing here. Come on let's go or we're gonna be late.

There won't be any room for misconduct so you all behave yourselves properly .Yes sir (they all said)

The Bell rings...Just in time everyone dismiss.

Andreas pauses and turn back. Jacob what is it, what do you want from me? Ana I just wanted to know if you're okay? Well,am good, I am fine. There's no need to be worried and please stop following me and looking at me. Is so creepy. I wasn't staring at you,maybe you should stop gazing at me.
