The Love Diamond

Counting The Days

Monday December 21 (3 days till Christmas Eve)

Novembers POV

I started the day with the worst class imaginable , GYM. My teacher was considered the creepiest due to him checking girls gym pants to see if they are wearing school pants under them. He also forces us to do good in fitness testing, which I am crap at. At least I have my friends Nathan and Ebony. With them the period seems to fly by or at least when we make fun of each other and verse each other in sports. As we walk out of the weight room Zikomo is outside waiting for me. What could any girl ask for? He is sweet, kind, funny, and athletic. I am happy when I am with him, he makes me feel like... I am special. He even waits for me outside of the locker rooms and hugs me when I am sweaty. This time was different though. Instead of my usual post mile run hug he was holding a box in his hand and roses in the other. His face lights up when he sees me. Just seeing this made me realize I fall for him everyday. And I wonder, does he feel the same way?

"November we have been dating 4 months and yet no matter what I fall in love with you," He says with his perfect voice. I'm on the verge of tears. Never in a million years did I think this would happen.

"I know how you love big flashy showy things so I come bearing gifts. My arms can barely hold onto these much longer so I just got to ask.Will you go to formal with me?" He says, while flashing his perfect smile. Almost too perfect.

I fake think the question then scream:

"Yes! A million times yes!" as our lips crash together with a pool of love. The cheering of the rest of my gym class while Nathan and Ebony yell EWWWWW. I flick them off and continue the kiss. When we break I ask, "Can I have my hug now?" I lay my head against his chest and think to myself, "What can get better than this?"
After getting the hug of a lifetime I dash off leaving him in the hall way, almost hiding my excitement. I had to get changed for lunch.

Adande Philllips POV

"I don't even know why you like her man. She is stubborn, impatient, sneaky, and rude as fuck." I utter, trying to hide myself from jealousy. I hated talking bad about her, but it just came out. I immediately regretted what I had said to my best friend. He might beat me up for his girl.
Forget that she might beat me up if she heard the crap I was saying.

"You can't even keep a girl. You just date them for two weeks until you can get a kiss or nude and then break their hearts." Zikomo retaliates.

He wasn't wrong. I do things like that all the time, everyone knows. But I only do it because I ain't got the girl I want. In other words, the girl he already has.I love her with all my heart and she even told me that she loved me before Zikomo came around. Now I'll be stuck with anyone who throws themselves at me. I look off in the distance so he can't see my envy. Man I wish I got to touch her hair, look at her eyes closely, kiss those perfect lips. I just know that if we were together everything would be perfect. Our personalities match. We are both smart and she just takes my breath away. If she ever gave me the chance I swear I would die for her. I know how to win her heart.

Zikomo Rudo POV

I was walking down the hallway slowly. Everyone was in class but me. Sometimes I ask to go to the bathroom and end up roaming these halls. Gives me time to think. Time to reflect on all my mistakes.
"Lucky, lucky man." says someone nearby.

" What? Who are you?" I ask with a tone of annoyance.

"Just someone who knows about your little secret." Dustin Kracer whispers back. He walks in front of me with his emotionless eyes and pale skin. I would love to beat this guy up but I hold myself back. He knows something I can tell.

My spine stiffens. I close my fists, and I can feel my heart pounding.

" You know, what you have been doing to November." he walks around me, investigating me.

" What have I been doing to her? Huh? I haven't done nothing. I gotta get back to class man." I say in the weakest way possible.

" What have you been doing to her? Ha! The better question is why have you been doing Angela?"

I stopped in my tracks. My mind racing. I didn't know someone would find out. I thought I had been careful.

" Angela? Who? I ain't been doing no Angela. Leave me alone creep." But I know its no use playing it dumb. I would soon become the prisoner of this frail scrawny weirdo. I could pound him if I wanted to. But he could snitch, or worse I could really hurt him. I already hated myself, and I didn't want to add things go the list.

" Don't mess with me sicko I know what I know. But I won't tell."

I sigh, but I already know whats coming up next.

"Lets make a deal. November doesn't find out about your side piece and I get a date to Formal."

"Alright. Who do you want? I will get anybody just don't tell please, I am begging you."

" I want Sage. Sage Sivan. I want her. Convince her, and I won't tell. But remember whats going to happen, if you can't get her." He says while motioning his finger across his neck.
This snail really think he gonna kill me? But i don't utter a word.

And with that the creep struts away. I pray November doesn't find out. I love her but I made a mistake. One thats going to be hard to get out of. I didn't mean to. I need side action but I don't know why. I don't even like Angela anyway.
