The Love Diamond

The Begging Ends

ZIKOMO POV

It was chilly when we came back from break. I hadn't talked to November since the incident. I felt so bad about what I did. A different person came out of me. But I had to get away from Dustin. I had to stop playing these stupid games, and show Dustin that November and I are really together and nothing will change that. I really need to help Dustin get Sage before November finds out. Speaking of which she is walking my way. I think I did a double take. My beautiful ray of sunshine is walking towards me probably for the last time. I see the large bandage on her arm. How could I do something so bad to her. I have to prepare myself for hard words. I can't even imagine what she is going to say to me. When she reaches me all she does is hug me, tightly. I hug her back, thanking all the gods out there.

"I am so sorry." I say affirming my love for her. " I should have never done this. I made a huge mistake, that may seem impossible for you to forgive me."

Tears starts to stream down her face. She wipes them on my shirt. She is so perfect even when she is sad. She stops crying so I lift up her chin to face me. I kiss her. All my love flies into this passionate kiss of a lifetime. When we break I hold onto her as tight as I can. She smiles at me.

" I got to go to my next class." she says in a angelic voice.

" Nooooo don't leave me." I say whining. But it's true, I really do not want her to go.

When she heads into her math class, all I can think about is how I hurt her and how I am going to if she finds out. I need to make up for it. As she heads down the hallway I see Adande lurking in a corner. If this is some petty way to get back into November's life and steal her from me I will beat him up.But I have bigger and more important things to do. I start to look for Sage. Sage can fix all of this. Plus, it helps that she is one of my closest friends. If she can get rid of Noah. Nah, I can't do that to one of my other closest friends. Maybe I can get Noah to go with someone else. Yeah, I can do that. Okay here we go. Let's do this.

Sage POV

I was headed towards me and Brooklyn's usual spot when I felt a large tap on my shoulder. Zikomo again.

"Hello Sage." He says questionably.

"No, again, Rudo." I affirm.

"But Dustin is a good guy Sage. From what I can see he really likes you. A guy like him on our side could really help us." He pleads.

" Oh sure a guy like him. You mean a down right stalker? This kid has been stalking November since pre-school, me since the fifth grade and Sage ever since. " says Brooklyn.

"He is a changed man and if you know what's good for your friends you would do this." Rudo begs as he gets on his knees pretending to be a puppy.

" Man what does this stupid kid got on you anyway Zik?" asks Brooklyn.

"Just trust me that you don't want it to be revealed." He says to Brooklyn still is on the ground.

"What about Noah?" I ask.

"I can get him a date easy just promise me you'll go with Dustin." He says.

"I am sorry, I just... can't do that to Noah. We have been planning this day for months together.

"Noooo Sage please!!"

"Why can't you just get Dustin another date?"

"NO! It just doesn't work that way. Have Noah go with someone else it is not a big deal. He can go with Brooklyn! Huh? It can all work out."

" Nope, Adande asked Brooklyn to go with him."

I am so happy that Brooklyn got a date. She kept saying how she won't come to formal and all that, so now she has an excuse. At least it was Adande and they are going as friends, knowing that A dandy has a thing for November. Jeez, how is poor November going to work her boy trouble out?

"Just go away Rudo we can talk later. But the answer is no." I confirm.

He walks away slowly saying you should've helped me out. I wonder what's going on between him and November. I just hope whatever it is, they solve it. But I do know one thing, I am going with Noah, and that is it When school was out the whole squad headed to Brooklyn's house to prepare for formal.
