Unexpected Us.

Chapter Ten.

Isabella's P. O. V.

I had just met this guy and I was kind of free with him considering I'm that introverted kind that doesn't let people in so easily but with him laughter, conversations, teasing it all flow so easily.

After we gave Isla a double dose in entertainment with our bickering and battering plus Sandro constant teasing and the use of the endearment Baby. She found our actions cute.

Its Monday and for first period I usually normally didn't share the class with my friends. Summers usually had photography for her first period and Olivia had fashion for her's.

Sandro was practically glued to me. He's so clingy I had to practically plead with him in order to have a private conversation with Summers as he wouldn't let me be on my own.

Bells, her tone carried excitement. How did you land and hottie like him. Summers demanded excitedly I need all of the gists.

Calm down. I said to her in a hushed voice due to the fact that Alex was standing less than a ten meters away from us and could probably be eavesdropping.

I can't girl. She screeched over excited. My ears are all itchy.

I knew Summers I wouldn't get away from her if she didn't get her gist so I succumbed.

Well we kind of bumped into each other. I ended beneath and he ended on top. I hadn't even finished narrating before she swiftly interrupted.

Wow. She exclaimed and had that dreamy look on her face I wish I had there. I would have photographed the moment. It must have been so romantic.

I sighed at her hopeless romantic behavior I wasn't even though talking yet.

Well I know she shrugged wanted to add my opinion tell me more. So he began calling me Baby then since then he's been glued to me. I finished explaining.

No you left out some parts. Summers protested I'm sure you looked so smitten by him. Who wouldn't he's so hot.

You are boosting his ego. I cautioned plus can you stop creating those scenes in your head.

I can't Bells, she groaned. I'm picturing how the event happened though I wasn't there. She closed her eyes I knew Sandro would be like. Extend his hand for an handshake and you would be reluctant but later comply.

He's going to introduce himself with his deep beautiful voice that would send tingles down your spine. And then you will introduce yourself too in that sweet soft voice of yours.

My ears couldn't take it anymore. Isla stop. I hated how accurate she was, how well she knew me it was like she was there.

Don't tell me you placed a tracker on me because it's like you are reporting a life feed. I tried to make a joke because her level of accuracy awed me.

That means I'm correct. She exclaimed in jubilation bouncing on her sneakers. Well she puffed out her chest I have that ability to picture to see.

So you are now some seer or sorcerer. I shook my head at her way of thinking.

Don't think I didn't miss the way you looked at me when he kissed my hands. If looks could kill how be dead by now.

That was me looking like a normal human being. I defended plus why do you two think I was jealous.

You two. She repeated that means Alex saw he saw too the way you looked at me.

I was silent.

Isla continued Just wait till lunch till we come together and Olivia is done with that boyfriend of hers I'll happily announce the gist.

Isla you are not making me the topic of discussion during lunch. I frowned not subscribing to the idea at all.

Well what can I say. She said innocently. Let's just see things how they play. After all we all will be present plus bring Mr Hot to Lunch.

Mr Hot??

Yeah it describes it features. He looks like some geek God. Doesn't he??

I guess. I shrugged acting nonchalantly.

You guess. Isla snorted or you know.

You might be late for photography class?? Do you realize that.

Your way of discharging me. She sighed well am off.

There was no point denying it was my exact intentions.

She turned to leave then halted mid step see you later Babe while she blew a playful kiss and walked away.

As soon as she left. Sandro began to approach.

I see you are done. What were you talking about??

Girls stuff. I replied not wanting to go into details.

He didn't press any further and just nodded.

We walked side by side with me observing how much more beautiful our school had gotten compared to the last time. Flowers had been planted, walls were also coated in fresh paint too until his voice brought me out of my thoughts.

Isa may I have your time table. He requested.

It took much more than necessary to give him a reply because Isa no one ever called me by that only my mom. It was either Bella or Bell's and that one kinda stuck to me.

Unknowingly my eyebrows lifted, something I did if I was confused or didn't understand something. Isa I repeated looking confused like f**k.

He looked at me as if he wasn't sure if I was overreacting or if something truly was the matter with me. Yeah Isa he repeated as if to ask hope no problem??

I decided to clear up the confusion. Its nothing just that no one calls me that. Everyone either calls me Bella or Bell's. I explained.

His lips curled up into a smirk. It felt like a pleasure to me like he was the only one who was ever going to call me Isa.

Technically He began in a clear sharp voice Isa and Bella are both fragments of your name and Isa sounds so much more better in my ears.

Well he was right both were fragments of my name but did I really feel comfortable with him calling me Isa but his mind is already made up to call me that and the fact no one addresses me by that seems to be a bonus to him.

Isa I repeated shrugging my shoulders in that whatever kinda weird but I like it. She admitted slowly.

Then all of a sudden his hands were thrown over my shoulder in that careless, playful kind of way. I tensed up before slowly relaxing into his touch.

Don't worry you'll grow to like it think. of it as my special nickname for you. How does Isa Baby sound.

Why does it feel like it's trying to win me over but then I'm not jumping into conclusions. Isa Baby doesn't that seem cringe.

I appreciated his efforts but though Isa Baby, I raised an eyebrow. Dude it sounds cringe as f**k. I was laughing out my brains out by now.

He pouted and I thought he looked cute like my fluffy pet whatever. He groaned to me It sounds nice to me and I haven't forgotten about that special nickname I asked you to think for me.

Wow, The special nickname it had begun to skip my mind but for now my brain is blank and I don't want cheesy cringe nicknames.

You look like a cute puppy when you pout. I told him unable to keep in my mind, Infact you look like my cute Luna. I had a dreamy look on my face when I referred to my fluffy pet. What can I say she's adorable.

For a moment he looked still, then his brows furrowed, then his lips lifted up in confusion, then he looked like he was thinking.

Luna. He repeated so I was like lemme explain myself to clear up the confusion.

I looked over at him yeah my puppy. I admitted, She's so cute, Super pretty.

He had an understanding look on his features. And his next words shocked me but not as pretty as you.

Was he trying to woo me. I thought but didn't mention it out loud.

Instead I said Stop flattering me. At this point I was so sure I'm as red as a tomato. The number of times I had blushed around this guy is unhealthy. We just met!!!!

He grinned at my blushing state before commenting Am I making little Miss Isa blush. He teased as i averted my face in embarrassment afraid at how my body was betraying me around this dude.

I didn't say anything after my little moment of embarrassment and started to pick on my fingers some habit I had developed.

Your Schedule let me have it. He demanded.

First off that was rude. His tone sounded too commanding m it was like he was used to getting everything he wanted at the tip of his fingers.

why is your voice so commanding and demanding I couldn't help but ask. infact you are requesting something from me. You are supposed to be like please can I have your schedule.

Really. He chuckled looking at me in disbelief are you being petty?? He asked.

No I shook my head maintaining my stance I'm being serious here.

He looked unhappy turning his face to the other side. How could the word "please" be difficult for someone to say just a six letter word however I was determined on making him use that word otherwise no schedule.

Eventually he succumbed. Please he said in a voice lower than a whisper.

I would have loved for him to repeat the word again but I didn't want to make life so difficult for him.

I laughed at him before reaching out into my blue bag pack when I laid my hands on the sheet and handed my schedule to his waiting hands.

He grabbed the white sheet of paper from me and brought out his from his pocket while comparing it to mine.

I took time to notice his features while he was distracted by the schedules. He looked two handsome. His skin looked well nourished and also spotless, He also had very pretty eyes and a very sharp jawline.

Our schedule are so much this same except for small differences in subject he pointed out see I have computer science on Friday third lesson while you have arts he pointed out.

I took it from him to and also confirmed what he was saying as soon as I was through observing he spoke up See our schedules are almost the same He stated beaming.

Ohh okay. i nodded wondering why he was overly so excited. Did he want to spend more time with me??

The feeling of spending so much time with him was well I was not to sure i just knew I had been more open to him in the last thirty minutes than I had been to some people who were in my life earlier.

Plus I had met different caliber of guys but no one made me feel, made me blush like he did and he was so far the most handsome guy I had ever met, that was also talking to me and somehow willing to show interest in me.

Hey let's go to class quickly first class will start soon. I said voice hurried and urgent after I realized I had probably spent too much time having a conversation with Summers and I was also doing the same with him.

Alright He nodded running along with me. Since I was walking a bit faster than usual my education are of paramount to me also I hated being late to classes punctuality is a very big deal to me.

We arrived at the classroom together . As soon as we stepped all eyes turned in our direction. Different pairs of eyes staring at us weirdly like we were some aliens in another town.

Baby Sandro leaned in to whisper into her ears. My body shivered he had no idea how much that endearment of id usually affected me though I forced my mind to keep working.Why are they looking at us that way??

They are probably wondering who you are after all they all know me and we are classmates. She whispered back.

I noticed the flirtatious gaze girls were throwing at him they weren't even discreet about him especially a girl with tinted purple hair and piercings she kept on winking and boys had their envious look on their faces.

At this point I was so sure Sandro was aware of the stares we were getting. Then I noticed girls looking at me like they wanted to murder me then I realized Alex's hand was carelessly thrown over my shoulders.

I felt uncomfortable and stylishly removed his arms around my shoulders although he appeared hurt and his face already said he was not cool with what I did.I flashed him a guilty look hoping he understood.

This school and rumors are besties living together in one flesh, rumors travelled faster than air and I didn't want my name to be on the lips of every student. I did want to attract that kind of attention.

I ignored the murderous gazes that were directed at me and pulled Sandro by the arm who didn't hesitate to move after me. Come I told him gently while he followed I led him to the first seat at the front row that I usually occupied whenever I was having English classes.

I was preoccupied with bringing out my books from my backpack and placing it on the desk that I didn't know when scrawny looking Marcus began to approach.

Hey Bella. He greeted looking up at me with that perverted gaze. I didn't like him one bit. The guy had been after my life since sophomore year kept on approaching even after I had made it clear severally that I wasn't interested.

Never the less I maintained a classmate relationship with him as long as he didn't pose a danger.

Hey Marcus, i greeted back not looking fully up at him.

You look so beautiful. Well it wasn't like you didn't always. You just look so extra today. He stated with a sick fine.

His own way of complimenting but who needed his compliments. I managed to reply huh thanks I guess.

I was wondering if you are up on Friday?? He asked.

Was he trying to ask me on a date. If he was it's a capital letter NO I couldn't even stand this guy for five seconds a whole date impossible.

Before i could politely turn him down Sandro spoke .

Hey Dude the girl is clearly uncomfortable and whatever plans it is on Friday night she's not interested.

I didn't expect he would intervene but I slowly sighed in relief nodding her head in approval.

Marcus eyes looked red and furious annoyed at the fact Sandro intervened. Let the girl talk for herself.

And you heard her. She's not interested. Sandro screamed back he looked so angry everyone were already watching us with keen interest due to the commotion.

Who the f**k are you?? Marcus demanded pointing fingers accusingly.

Get the f**k outta here. He cursed eyes red in fury.

I quickly stood up whispering words of comfort and sweet nothing into his ears in other to keep him calm and he slowly relaxed slumping down on the chair.

Who was that guy huh?? He turned to me still looking angry.

He's Marcus I said calmly and just ignore him she added he's some troublemaker.

Does he approach you everyday to come discuss some trash?? He asked

Most days he does other days he doesn't.

You shouldn't handle this matter with such levity. He suddenly said.

I was not some weak princess that needed his rescues I was doing just alright while he wasn't here.

Then you should have allowed me handle the situation myself after all I was doing just fine.

Really. He muttered looking shocked by my words so it's all my fault now.

I'm sorry. She apologized I didn't mean it that way.

I wanted to try to speak or say something in my defense but I zipped my mouth shut immediately after noticing his foul mood.

Mrs Robert walked into the class, she was late today. Her eyes roamed around the students as if she were looking for someone before her eyes settled on Alex. You?? She pointed I heard there was a new student and I haven't by any chance met you. Are you??

He stood up gracefully rising to his feet and gave a curt nod aware of the numerous eyes on him.

Do you mind introducing yourself she asked waiting for my reply.

I nodded before beginning. I'm Alessandro Rossi Eighteen years of age I relocated from Texas and I'm new here. I concluded.

It's a pleasure to meet you Mr Rossi I'm Elsa Robert.

After the introduction had ended, class continued and after it was over. A certain somebody in High heels and strong perfume began to march towards us.
