ANABELLE POV
My alarm rings reminding me of school, I get up quickly and start preparing for school. After doing my morning routine in the bathroom, I remove an army green cargo pants and a black hoodie, I pick my bag from my study table and leave.
The living room looks and feels the same.
Quiet.
Mom's not yet back from her business trip, maybe dad and Freddie are at the office. I go to the kitchen, checking my wristwatch I have an hour and thirty minutes before class starts...
Time to make some pancakes.

I get out of the car, waving bye to my driver I enter the school building trying to get to my class as soon as possible. I get to the stairs climbing so fast that I trip, ready to feel the pain of the year, but an arm wraps my torso from behind stopping me from falling.
I stand straight and I feel the hand unwrap from my body, I turn around to see who it was and I'm greeted with a smiling face.
"Wow, its only our second day of meeting and you're already falling for me" he says wiggling his eyebrows at me and I feel like slapping him.
I turn around not wanting any of his shenanigans.
"Wait" he says and I stop I turn around facing him.
"What!" I snap at him
"I wanted to give this to you" he says and hands me a small box wrapped in shiny paper.
"What is it?" I ask taking it from him
"Just open it and see" he says smiling at me.
Seriously does he eat rainbows for breakfast.
I slowly unwrap the gift and my eyes widen at the content.
A new phone.
Its just like my phone, the same model and colour.
I stare at him wide eyed.
"Yesterday I broke your phone and you were pretty mad about it so I thought of buying you a new phone, exactly like yours. I'm really sorry that I broke your phone, will you forgive me?" He asks with a pout.
A pout.
And he looks adorable while pouting.
What the hell am I thinking?!
I open my mouth but no words come out. All I do is stand there staring at him.
"So am I forgiven?" He asks still pouting. I open my mouth to say no but he cuts me off...
"Please forgive me, I promise I won't do it again, I'll be a good boy I swear" he says holding his ears and I think I'm a goner.
"Yes, i forgive you" I say and his face lits up, he grins so wide I'm afraid his cheeks will hurt.
"Thanks... so does it mean that were friends now?", he asks and I shake my head.
"No!, just because I accepted your apology does not mean that I'm your friend, do you understand?" I say and I put the gift in my bag and turn around to leave.
"Please" he says and I turn around to face him.
He has a pout on his face.
Nuh uh, this poutey face is not going to work on me this time.
"So it worked on you before?" He asks tilting his head to one side. Making me realize I said my thoughts out loud.
I don't answer his question instead I walk away and head straight to class.

I stare at our physics teacher Mr Daniel writing God knows what formula on the board. Physics is the subject I hate the most so the fact that I always have a 'B' in this subject is still shocking to me.
Someone taps my shoulder and I turn around facing a nerdy looking girl, with the glasses and all.
She hands me a paper, and I take it from her, facing the teacher again I decide to keep it till later. But my minds keeps bugging me to open it and see what's written inside.
My fingers slowly open it and my brows furrow in confusion as I look what's written inside.
'Will you be my friend please'.
I look around the class and I spot Christian grinning at me, I glare at him which only makes him grin wider.
Ugh, what is wrong with this boy. If he thinks I'm one of those girls he sweet talks into bed with him he's got another thing coming.
I tear the paper into shreds and throw it away. The bell rings signalling lunch time and the teacher leaves quietly like he never came.
I sling my backpack across my shoulder and leave the classroom heading to the library.
My place of comfort.
But my comfort is cut short when someone covers my mouth and drags me into an empty classroom.
I try to scream but then the person speaks
"Shh, its me Christian" he whispers releasing me.
"What is wrong with you?" I whisper yell.
"I just want to talk to you" he whisper yells too.
"About what?" I ask then he grins again.
" will you be my friend please?" He asks me and in this moment I feel like choking him to death.
"You brought me here for that" I asks him and he nods like a 5 year old boy.
"No, I will not be your friend and I want you to stay away from me" I say sternly glaring at him.
"Okay then, its either you agree to be my friend or I'll take drastic measures baby" he says in a serious tone one I've heard seen him use before making my heart race.
Did he just call me baby?
"What drastic measures?" I ask almost stuttering.
"Its either you agree to be my friend or I'll ask you in front of the entire school"
"What!"
"You heard me well sweetie" he says smirking at me and let me tell you he looks insanely hot while doing that.
Not going to argue with that.
"Are you threatening me" I ask him
"You can take it as whatever you want baby girl" he says "you have ten seconds"
"One, two, three,"
"You know you're just bluffing right" I asks trying to sound confident while inside of me I'm freaking out.
"Four, five, six,"
"Why do you want to be my friend anyway"
"Seven, eight, nine"
"Okay fine I'll be your friend" I say and he stops counting, and then he smiles at me biting his lower lip making him look crazily hot.
"I knew you would agree" he says
"So you were just bluffing" I scoff
"Oh no I wasn't bluffing sweetie" he says winking at me, he opens the door and leaves me standing and gaping like a fish.
I don't know why, but I think that this friendship will change my life forever.
