Scars

A Bestfriend's Request

Even though Romela was wondering why she was being asked to go upstairs, she just followed what the maid said. James' bedroom is in the end room on the second floor of the house. She gently knocked on the door but no one answered, so she decided to open it. She saw James lying in bed and looking sick. He entered the room and approached the young man. “ James, what happened to you? Why didn't you get into school?”. James just looked at her and smiled while saying "Do you know that you are the first girl to enter my room", James confessed to her. Romela's face suddenly turned red and her feelings secretly rejoiced. "Are you sick?" Romela touched his forehead. "You have a fever, have you taken any medicine?" the young woman worried. "Yes, a while ago, I got wet from the rain last night, so I got sick," James said, seeming weak. You can see the worry on the girl's face, but you can also see happiness on her face because, for the first time, she and James were together in his room.

"The reason I came here is because we need to do a project, and you're the only one who can do it" said Romela. James got up from lying down and sat next to Romela on the edge of the bed. "Ah, I thought you missed me so you came here", James said, smiling while staring at the girl. "No, why would I miss you?" Romela avoided. “Can you do it or not? Romela asked. " Just leave it there and I'll do it later. For now, what I want is for us to talk seriously", James said. "What should we talk about?" asked Romela. "Us, Romela, I like you and I intend to break my relationship with Ivory", James said boldly. Even though Romela was surprised, she seemed worried because she knew what the young man's girlfriend's behavior was. " Are you sure? You know Ivory, I'm sure she won't just break you" said Romela. "I'll find a way, any possible way Romela, you like me too, right?" James asked the girl directly. Romela didn't answer right away, she looked away from James because she suddenly remembered Wendell, who she had allowed to court her. James held the girl's face and presented it to him. He slowly brought his face closer to Romela so that he could kiss her. Romela didn't even flinch and just closed her eyes.

For the second time, their lips met again. James kissed Romela tenderly. After a few seconds, the young woman suddenly turned away and said “ How about Wendell? How do we tell him this ? About us?” the girl said worriedly. "It's up to me, I'll think of a way", James answered. Because of what he said, Romela calmed down and the young man hugged her. "I didn't think this day would come, James, I hope everything will be alright.. For the meantime, we have to hide whatever we have" said the girl. "Yes, okay, but starting from this day you will not avoid me and we will always have time for each other", James begged Romela. "Okay, I need to go home.. you should rest so you can go to school tomorrow, bye James" said the girl smiling. "Bye Romela!" kiss the girl's forehead.

Romela had already left James's house when a classmate who was Ivory's friend saw her. She immediately called Romela to ask what she did at James' house. " Romela! what did you do at James's house?" asked the girl. '"Ah, I just delivered a project and then I immediately left" she seemed to answer nervously. "Ah okay, bye, see you at school tomorrow" said Ivory's friend. When the girl left, Romela could breathe a sigh of relief. The next day, James went to school. Ivory immediately greeted him and asked " Why didn't you come to school yesterday?". "I had a fever but I'm fine now" replied James. "My friend saw that Romela came from your house yesterday, what did she do there?" Ivory grumbled. "He just delivered a project okay? Are you done asking? Because I have a lot of things to do", James seemed annoyed at Ivory. James immediately entered the classroom and found Romela reading. The girl looked at him and smiled. He also returned a sweet smile to the girl.

Wendell was just about to enter the classroom when Ivory immediately stopped him. "Wendell, can we talk?" asked the girl. Although confused, Wendell agreed. "Are you courting Romela?" Ivory quickly asked the young man. "Yes and why, is there a problem?" replied Wendell. "Nothing, but my friend saw her coming out of James's house last night.. do you know that?" the girl asked flatly. Even though surprised, Wendell immediately replied "Yes I know" he lied. He had to say that to protect Romela from Ivory. Because he knows the behavior of his best friend's girlfriend.

Wendell seemed reluctant to sit next to Romela. Because of this, the girl greeted him and talked to him. " What happened to you? Why are you speechless?” he asked the young man. "Romela, are you not telling me something? What were you doing at James's house last night?” Wendell's question to Romela seemed to make him cry. The young woman was surprised by that question but she had to answer it. "I just delivered the project he was going to do, because his house is close to ours, so I was the one who was ordered to bring it to him", Romela answered nervously. Wendell first looked at the one he was courting and let out a sigh. "Sorry, I just felt a little jealous, but tell me I have nothing to be jealous of?" asked the young man. Romela just nodded, she thought she wasn't ready to tell the truth to her suitor.

"Bro, I heard you got sick?" Wendell asked James when they were together in the comfort room. "Yes bro, I got a fever because I got wet from the rain but I'm fine now" James answered. "Bro, can you help me? I want Romela to be my girlfriend and I'm thinking of a plan on how to ask her," Wendell confessed. James's mood suddenly changed and he thought of something he could excuse to his friend. "You seem to be in too much of a hurry? Is it just a while since he allowed you to court her?" James answered worriedly. "I don't want to take this long bro, I don't want to lose Romela!" Wendel declared.
