🌹Mara's POV🌹
Bryan, Kelly and i entered the cafeteria after showing Kelly round the school.
Damn! The stares were too much.
"I'm starving" I muttered as we sat round a table.
I saw Ellen pick up her tray of meal, coming to join us.
Ahhhh!
"Bryan..." She called sitting down with us.
"Yes?"
"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you so we can have lunch together" She said.
"I'm sorry Ellen,we showed Kelly round the school" Bryan said.
"Okay" she said and started eating.
"Ellen" I called.
"Huh?" She fumed.
"Meet Kelly,he has become part of us" I said and saw her face brightened up.
"Wait...is she your friend?" Kelly asked.
"Yeah. She,Bryan and i are best of friends so there is no how you wanna be friends with us and won't be friends with her" I said.
"Wow...nice to meet you Ellen,so can we be friends?" Kelly asked.
"Yes!" Ellen suddenly screamed to everyone's amazement.
Wow! Is there more to this.
"Huh... Sorry,that just came out as a scream" She smiled.
"It's okay...we should order our own lunch" Kelly said.
"Mara what do you care for?" Bryan asked..
"Normal" I said.
He nodded and stood up with Kelly.
They both walked away to order lunch leaving Ellen and i.
She concentrated more on her lunch.
"Ellen,you really hurt me" I said making her turn to me.
"Hurt you? How?" She asked..
"Don't pretend you don't know what you did.. that was cruel of you" I said.
She laughed " You are still on Bryan's issue,you have to let it go cause Bryan is all mine now and forever" She said.
"You know how much i love Bryan,you know what i did just for Bryan to love me and yet you went ahead to date him!" I said starting to tear up.
"You are talking like it's my fault" she retorted.
"Whose fault is it then?" I asked.
"Hey girls" Bryan said interrupting the conversation.
I braced up and forced a smile.
He placed a tray of French fries and chicken in front of me.
"Thanks Bryan" I smiled.
"Like it's the first time I'm doing this" He said.
I shrugged.
They both sat down and I can see Kelly ordered the same thing as Bryan...Pizza rolls.
Are they starting to get twinie now🙄 I hope not!
We started eating,i didn't realize i was starving this much.
I finished my fries and chicken and had to dip my fork into Bryan's meal.
"Get out!" He said holding his meal away, not allowing me to reach it.
I chuckled..." Bryan!"
"Don't tell me you are starting to become a food monger" he said with a fake frown which made me laugh.
"You were the one who didn't allow me to finish my breakfast" I said.
"No,you didn't finish it yourself. When i came you were like 'who's this cute guy' I was so breathtaking that you forgot to finish your breakfast" Bryan teased making me laugh more.
"Okay,for being so breathtaking and not allowing me to finish my breakfast,I'm gonna have a bite of your pizza rolls" I said reaching for his meal.
He kept moving it away from my reach making me laugh.
"What the f**k! Bryan,do you mean you were the one who picked her up in the morning?" Ellen suddenly asked making my laughter fade away.
"Yeah...i was the one and I'm also gonna be the one to drop her off" Bryan said with a note of finality daring Ellen to object.
She hissed and stood up with force, walking out of the cafeteria.
"I thought you said she was your friend?" I heard Kelly asked,and that was when i noticed he was here with us.
"Yeah she is...she is our friend,she's going through some things now so that explains her behavior" I said.
He nodded with an "Oh"
I turned back to Bryan who is eating his meal at an arm length.
I laughed.
"Bryan com'on,let me have a bite please" I said..
"No...I'm not giving you" He grinned.
"Aaaargh! so stingy" I said hitting my fork on his head.
"Ouch" he rubbed his head.
I stick out my tongue and sat down, sending him a wicked grin.
"I actually wanted to give you but you just hit that fork on my forehead so forget it" He said.
"Awwn..How would i have known you wanted to give me... Okay Sorry,let me have some" I said with a pout.
"No.." he said with a mouthful of pizza.
I rested my chin on my palms looking at the movement of his mouth.
"So yummy" he said holding a pizza roll in my face before putting it in his mouth.
"You can have mine" Kelly said shifting his plate of pizza rolls to me.
"No..I'm okay, don't bother" I said.
He smiled... "You can have it...I'm filled up anyways"
"Thanks Kelly but seriously,I'm okay" I said.
"I insist" he said.
Bryan suddenly stuffed a pizza roll from his plate into my opened mouth.
"I won't say thank you" I said to him with a mouthful.
"I don't need your thanks,fatty Mara" He said with a chuckle.
"I think you want another hit on your forehead" I said already picking up my fork.
"Okay I'm sorry" he quickly pleaded before the fork could land on his forehead.
I smiled "good boy".
I heard a little sound,i turned to Kelly to see him shifting his plate of pizza rolls back to himself.
I saw a cut on his upper arm but he quickly pulled down the sleeve of his shirt.
What's that cut about?...Well,just normal injury.
His face is down like he's not happy or something.
I felt a little bit sorry for him but I just can't take anything from him for now!
The time keeper signalled "Lunch break over" by turning off the lights in the cafeteria.
Everyone stood up from their table and headed to their classes.
💗 School Over💗
Bryan and Ellen walked in front while Kelly and i walked at the back to the school's parking lot where different cars,bus and vans are waiting.
Students walked around, pushing their way past us.
We finally got to where Rollins is standing beside Bryan's car.
"Good afternoon Rollins" We greeted.
"Afternoon students, this face is new" He said pointing to Kelly .
"He's our new friend" Bryan said bringing Kelly forward.
It seems Bryan likes Kelly a lot.
"Hi Rollins...I'm Kelly" He said.
"Kelly how are you?" Rollins asked nicely.
"I'm fine Rollins" he answered.
"Alright.. Bryan and Mara should get in.. Kelly i guess your driver is here" Rollins said.
"Yes he is over there" Kelly said waving at a man who stood beside a white Lamborghini.
The man waved back.
Ellen stepped forward holding the handle of Bryan's car, about getting in.
"Ellen is your driver not here?" Bryan asked.
"I told him not to come" She said.
"Why?"
"I want you to drop me off" She said..
"Okay no problem with that,but Mara is also coming with us .. if you are gonna argue over that you can go board a cab" Bryan said to her firmly...
She glared at me before getting into the car.
"Bryan...I think i should just board a cab" I said.
"No way!" Bryan said.
"I will be fine with cab... seriously" I said.
"No Mara...Liam doesn't want you to board cab and I promised him i will pick and drop you off till your driver is able" Bryan said.
"I don't want Ellen pulling my hair off during the middle of the ride home" I said.
"Will you come with me in my car then?" Kelly asked.
"No thanks...I will go with Bryan" I said.
I quickly got in the front seat while Bryan got in the back seat with Ellen.
Rollins got behind the wheels and began driving out of the school compound.
We waved Kelly goodbye but he stood there watching us leave with a not too happy expression.
***
"No you are dropping off Mara first!" Ellen yelled from the backseat.
I should have just gone with the cab or maybe Kelly's car.
"But Ellen we are right in front of your house!" Bryan yelled back.
"You should have told your yellowed-teeth driver to drop her off first" Ellen said.
My gaze shifted to Rollins who shook his head with a sigh.
Initially, Ellen was a rude girl but she wasn't this worst!
"Do you mean we have to go drop off Mara,then come back here to drop you off,do you know how far Mara's house is from here!" Bryan said.
"I don't care! All i know is I'm not getting off first!" Ellen said.
"I'm getting off,i will take a cab from here" I said unfastening my seat belt.
I quickly got out of the car before Bryan could stop me.
I waved a coming cab but it didnt stop..it sped past me.
"Mara" Bryan called already alighting from his car.
I walked farther away and just then i sighted a familiar white Lamborghini speeding towards me..
Oh! Kelly's car...
Bryan has almost gotten to me ...
"Mara wait" he shouted.
I waved Kelly's car to a stop.
It stopped and i quickly got in.
I'm glad the driver drove off immediately.
"Tamara what's wrong?" Kelly asked beside me.
I faked a smile... " We planned to spend some time at Ellen's house but mum just called me now and told me to start coming home" I lied.
"Oh... okay, what's your address so Leo can know where to drop you"
"Ohh...Good afternoon Leo" i greeted.
"Good afternoon tamara" He replied.
" I will be dropping at Lington estate phase 3" I said.
"Okay"
Silence filled the car and my mind raced back to Bryan..I know i shouldn't have left him like that but i had no choice.
"So Tamara,tell me more about Makers high school" Kelly said breaking the silence.
I smiled...I love talking about my school a lot.
"Makers high school should be described as one of the best schools in Paris....
