BAD BOY'S CRUSH - Episode 8
(A make-up will do???)
Bella’s POV
Dressing up for school, I sat down facing my dressing mirror,
What stared back at me was so embarrassing
I pouted my lips touching my cheeks and forehead
Pimples filled them… I wonder when I will have a classy smooth face that everyone will trip for
I sighed in frustration, maybe I shouldn’t go to school today, that will do right?
But, my mom won’t allow that to happen
She will say that dad didn’t leave us for New Orleans so I can misbehave
I just h@?? those silly preachings of hers
My brother Brad bursted into the room as usual and stood behind me and we both stared at our reflection on the mirror
He’s cuter than me, I bit my lips
“Mom is nagging downstairs that we both ought to be in school now”
I heaved badly alerting his attention to my worrisome look
“What’s wrong this time? Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about that jerk face? “He asked and I shook my head and frowned too when I heard him refer to Nicc as a jerk face
He noticed my silly expression and he changed his words
“I mean… Nicc? “He corrected and I looked away from him sighing
“That’s not it! Everyone is just calling me… ”
“Nerd”he finished what I wanted to say and I perked up my left brow
How did he know that they call me that?
“How did you know? “I asked him fully concerned about what he said and he shrugged
“Well…. My friends call me a nerds brother and I don’t care about it and you are not a nerd in my eyes”
My heart blushed hearing him speak, I smiled at him feeling loved
“What am I to you then? “I asked wishing to hear more sweet words from him
“A bully”he said with a lot of seriousness in his voice and I frowned
He wasn’t lovely after all like I thought
Psst!
I rolled my eyes at him and hissed badly
“But you’re not a nerd at all but… Why do you feel like they call you that even in your new school? “He asked concerned and I debated within me if I should tell him what happened to me yesterday or not
His face was convincing enough so I narrated what I went through yesterday
“Hmmmm”he breathed out after I was done with my story
He went into deep thinking, he glanced at my face staring at me intently as if something was wrong with my face
I wonder what his new word will be this time
Maybe say something nasty that will make me smack him, I just wish he doesn’t make me do that
“Well…”he threw another gaze to my face
“I think we should start with your face ”
He said forming a ‘V’ shape with his two palms gesturing to my face
“What”I asked confused at what he meant by that
“I think you need to make-up a little “he suggested holding his face with his two palms
A make up?.. I ruminated
A make-up!
“I don’t have one and I can’t make-up”
He clapped his hand once as he heard me speak out my fear
“Thanks to mom she has make-up tools and I can do it too!! “He shouted to me beaming and my heart fluttered
Half of my problem is solved already
Chloe’s POV
I hung up on him when he told me that he doesn’t know whom am talking about
Why will he know? Thanks he doesn’t know else he would’ve screwed her real bad
Sheesh! I won’t share her with anyone if I manage at last to get her
I hung my back pack on my back and walked out of my room,sneaked into my dad’s room for some cash and to collect the car keys to his blue sport Benz hopped down the stairs in a hurry and then out of the house.
I locked the door and soon, I was on the highway heading for school in my dad’s car
I reached school and immediately I put my feet on the floor, noises filled the air
?He’s so flirty and cute
?Jeez! He came in a new car! Is his dad that rich?
?Look at the way he walks
I ignored the sidetalks walking briskly into the class in a hurry thinking she might be in class now
I didn’t see her, I rather saw Audrey with a number of her friends chatting
But they stopped talking when they saw me, she turned her face to me and smiled running to my side
I wad disappointed that I didn’t see her in school upon all my hurries to be in school as early as possible
Maybe she’s still in a bus coming to school
I should’ve taken a bus then, I nibbled at my lower lips when she clung to my side
“Chloe, you’re avoiding me nowadays “she said and her friends and the rest of the members in the class murmured saying good and bad words to us
I heaved my eyes wandering about searching for that mystery girl
“Who are you looking for? “She asked me and I replied;
“That fresher from yesterday, you know her name? “I asked her and she managed a smile which she never meant, she’s jealous and I saw that in those grey eyes of hers
Will I care? Ofcuz I won’t!
“Uhm.. Yes.. “she was saying when I slipped my hand away from Audrey’s grasp and went out to go look for her
Bella’s POV
I walked with confidence into the school so happy about my new look
My brother helped me make up and I’m so excited about it
Really a make-up will do for me, I chuckled making my face visible so everyone could see it but I was shocked when students do look at me and shout or get scared
I smirked, am I that beautiful to them? I giggled
I sighed walking airily towards the cluster of students trying to flirt my face, the reaction I got made me rethink on what my face might look like
?Oh my gosh! A scare crow!
?We have a drama queen in our school! What’s on her face?
?Jeez! What a scary thing I’ve ever seen
Laughter followed and before I knew it, smart phones were all over my face as they giggled and laughed at me
I realized that I was wrong, my face is scarier than it was, I covered my face from the smart phones pointed to my face running my way to the class but it was worst
?Jeez!
?Look at that honey!!
?A scare crow in our school!
?what did she do to her face!!
I boiled in anger especially for my brother for making jest of my face like this
I realized also how stupid I was to allow my own brother make up my face for me
What was I thinking? My steps which was brilliantly calculated began to sway cuz of the eyes around me until;
“Hey what’s your name? “I heard Chloe’s voice, at least I could recognize his voice anywhere
He’s a grumpy! Worst of them all
He stepped closer to me pushing some phones which pointed at me to the ground allowing them smash to the floor
“What’s your name? “He repeated and my lips was gummed and I couldn’t say anything to him
Just stares was exchanged between us
I felt shy because I felt he would laugh at my face just like the others and he did laugh
He was amused
“What’s this on your face? “He asked bringing his hand to my face and I pushed it off
“You’re beautiful without make up, who told you to soil your face this way”he said with an air of importance making me to curse him under my breath without speaking
?Hahahahahahahahha, haha haha haha haha haha
?Jeez!
?Chloe is so foul mouthed
I gulped hard seeing the students praising him as he played the hero
He stepped closer to me till he was almost half an inch towards me
He was glaring at me like I was something which should not be in this world
“You’re even more beautiful with these silly make-up on”he whispered lowly
“What’s your name please I will want to know what they call you”he pleaded with his eyes and I knew how serious he was to know my name, part of me never wanted to speak to a kind of him
His kind make people feel cheap and not upto their own ego, I don’t like his type
I bit my lower lip before answering
“My name is Bella”I said calmly almost unheard
He smiled brightly this time looking at me with a lot of admiration in his eyes
“You’re as cute as your name “he mumbled fanning it out instead of saying it…..
