ೃ⁀➷ ╱ CHAPTER TWENTY THREE ━THE 411

ওBELLA felt deja vu as she leaned against her car in the school parking lot at dismissal.
she did the same thing yesterday. she came to school, looked for chris, went to class and yet he was nowhere to be seen.
she tried texting and calling him such she heard he was sick, but she had a feeling that something else was going on.
she asked matt and nick earlier at lunch, but they didn't know what was wrong. chris wouldn't come out of his room or talk. jimmy and mary lou were worried about him.
since it wasn't his normal behavior to slip into depression.
bella sighed as a slight breeze ran through her hair. she tried to shake chris out of her thoughts, but it wasn't working. because all she could think about was him.
she turned her attention to her mother who was walking towards her with a warm smile on her face, which she returned.
"hi." she greeted. "hey." she waved. "so i wanted to tell you something really quick," she began.
"your father's re-election campaign is coming up and based on how everything turned around here for the school because of our scholarship program, the town is thinking about just merging the towns." mercedes smiled.
"really?" she looked at her. "we figured it would make more sense to have kids like chris, nick, and matt to have more opportunities to succeed. rather than being divided." she pointed out.
bella looked down at the mention of chris's name and her mother noticed, but thought it was because of a different reason.
but on the other hand, she realized her mother didn't butcher their names on purpose.
"your father and i have that to thank you for bella." mercedes praised. "really?" she furrowed her eyebrows.
"without you, baylen, alahna, and madi showing there is more to the upper east side, we can start to have a fresh start in this town." she began.
"and along the way, i've seen how you changed into the person how i used to be as a kid and not who i've become," she admitted.
"who did you use to be?" she asked intrigued. "humble," she spoke.
"thanks, mom." she smiled as her mother pulled her into a hug. "i love you arabella." her mom squeezed her.
bella tensed up, not ever expecting to hear those three words from her mother ever again.
