Hidden Love

Chapter Twenty Three

Chapter Twenty-Three

“Ade, maybe you should try get with someone to get over that idiot,” Sofia said, soothingly.

I exhaled, loudly. “As a rebound? No way Sof, I don’t do that sort of thing.”

Sofia pursed her lips. “Adrianna, I have suggested SO many things, and you have not liked any suggestion. Just freakin’ agree!”

I chewed my lip. “B-But...”

Sofia glared at me. “I’m sick of you just moping around and being miserable. You were the one who broke things up. So freakin’ get over him. But call me when you do. Cuz’ I’ve had it. I’ve tried to be positive and the best friend ever, but you just be miserable and just sit there.”

She stood up, and stalked out of my bedroom.

I groaned. Stupid Adrianna.

Now, I’d just lost my best friend.

She’s right Adrianna, you gotta get over Troy, a voice chanted in my head.

Jacob rushed into my room, a concerned look in his face.

“Ade, you’ve been stuck in your room since yesterday’s BBQ,” he said, worriedly. “Is there something wrong?’

I quickly stuck a smile on my face. “No Jacob, it’s alright. I’m uh...just exhausted.”

Jacob raised an eyebrow. “Really?”

I nodded, furiously. ‘Definitely.”

Jacob frowned. “Hmmmm...I’ll let it go this time. But seriously Ade...you gotta tell me things. I’m your big brother...not some stranger.”

I smiled. ‘I will Jacob. Don’t worry.”

Jacob headed out, leaving me with tranquillity and peace. Now....what to do? I needed to do things to get my mind off...HIM.

My gaze travelled to a stack of magazines. Hmmmm.

No, I wasn’t going to read them (besides, I’d read them just about a million times).

I was going to make a huge picture with cut-outs from the magazines.

Okay-what did I need? Glue, scissors, sticky-tape, paper, pencils...

After I’d collected all my items, I headed downstairs to the kitchen. Okay, I needed refreshments while I worked. I decided on a glass of Sprite and a plate of chocolate-chip cookies.

Then I headed back up, and plopped down on my bedroom carpet, setting down my food. I surrounded myself with the magazines, paper, pencils etc. and got to work.

I decided to make a huge collage of famous celebrities, speech bubbles, funny comments, landscapes, etc.

Half-way through, I heard a knock.

My head snapped up too quick-giving me a cramp in my neck.

“Crap,” I muttered, rubbing the side of my neck.

“Whoa, what are you doing?” came Liam’s voice.

“Wow-it looks so incredible!’ Noelle’s voice rang out.

I smiled weakly at the couple. “Oh er, thanks. Um, what are you two doing in here?”

Liam shrugged. “Noelle wanted to see you.”

Noelle gaped at the collage. “Whoa...it’s breathtaking! You are so artistic!”

I chuckled. “Thanks Noelle.”

Noelle beamed, eyes sparkling. ‘My friends are so jealous that I’m sort of sisters-in-law with the famous Adrianna Hall!”

I smirked. “They worship me huh?’

Noelle rolled her eyes. “What’s there not to worship about Adrianna? You’re stunning, gorgeous, beautiful, funny, humorous-

“Ooookay, I think we better go,” Liam interrupted, steering Noelle out, winking at me.

I laughed, shaking my head. Man, it sounded like I had a MAJOR fan club out there!

Eventually, I was done, and I was weary and exhausted.

But I was proud and pleased with my collage as well.

I had to admit, it was pretty good. And hey, I was being modest.

It had pictures of a different assorted celebrities (Rihanna, Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian etc.), and funny speech bubbles coming out of their mouth.

I’d also cut pictures of beaches, trees and different landscapes out-so it looked like a big picture of absolute RANDOMNESS.

I grinned, and decided to let it dry out on my balcony.

I stood out on my balcony, and looked down at the people below.

I spotted a guy with black spiky hair...just like Troy. But he was wearing clothes that I KNEW Troy would never wear.

I sighed. At least I’d managed to stop thinking about Troy for two hours.
