Problems || Leondre Devries [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter Three

Della's P.O.V

What happened with Leo earlier was weird, more than weird in fact, it was just bizarre. I've never seen someone get that angry that quickly. But I also don't get why Zoe got so angry either. She seems like such a sweet person, and I know she had a problem with Leo because of what happened this morning, but the way she came over here and had a go at him for talking to me was out of the ordinary. I know I've only known Zoe for a day too, so I can't really judge her, but I still don't see what someone can do to make them that angry.

I want to ask Zoe why she doesn't like Leo, but I don't know how to. I feel like she would get angry and not like me, and I really don't want to be lonely at this school too. Maybe I could just subtly hint at the fact that I want to know.

"Sorry about earlier," I decided to speak up. Zoe and her friends all looked up at me with the same look on their faces, confusion. I took this as my cue to carry on talking. "For letting Leo stay over here, I should have realised from this morning that you don't like Leo so I shouldn't have let him sit here." I was a little nervous about their response to this but I felt like I should have said that, just so they don't completely hate me.

Zoe sighed and said, "Don't worry about it Della, we know that you're new here and you don't know anything about the people here. I don't wanna go into why I don't like Leo but I just want you to know that he is a bad person, and not the type of person that you should hang around with, and please don't think that we're angry with you or something," and she came over to me and gave me a side hug, "You're one of us now and it's pretty hard to make us angry so don't worry."

I smiled at Zoe's response, now knowing that I have actually made some friends. It feels kinda weird, having friends, I mean. I've never had friends before, I've always been the lonely girl who gets made fun of at every school I've attended, so to actually have friends is a great achievement for me, and I'm really pleased with who they are. No one's ever cared about me before, not for real anyways.

The bell rang to signal the end of lunch, and so myself, Zoe and her friends all packed our bags up and I checked my timetable against Zoe's and saw that we both had History together. We made our way up to the room and I got put in a seat next to a girl called Charley. She was really nice and helped me catch up with everything that I didn't know.

After the history lesson ended it was the end of the day, so me and Zoe made our ways outside until she had to catch her bus and I was walking home.

"So me and the girls have this, what we like to call it, Friday night binge night," Zoe told me and we both laughed at what she called it. "It's just me, Katie, Leah and Sarah hanging out at my house and just eating pizza and watching whatever is on TV and having a girly night in. And I was texting Leah in history and I asked her if we should invite you to join us and she said yes, so I was wondering if you wanted to come and hang out with us on Friday?"

I felt complete and utter happiness flood through me when she asked this. I had never been to a sleepover before and from the sounds of things, they have a lot of fun together, and being able to be a part of that fun sounds incredible. I nodded my head and said, "I would love to, it sounds great."

"Wonderful," she replied whilst clapping her hands with excitement. "I've gotta get my bus but I'll text you the details for Friday later, yeah?" she said as she started walking away. I nodded my head and we both turned our separate ways to go home.

I know that I had an idiotic grin on my face, but who can blame me? I've never had friends before and when I make some today, they already want to hang out with me on Friday. It just makes me happy that some people in this world actually like me.

"Della," I hear someone shout behind me as I walk further away from the school. And with a thick welsh accent like that, there is only one person that it could be.

I turned around and sighed heavily as my eyes met the person who shouted to me, Leondre. Part of me wanted to talk to him, because when I was talking to him at lunch he actually seemed like a great guy to talk to, and I didn't understand why Zoe didn't like him. He was nice, to me at least. But the other part of me didn't want to talk to him. My friends all hate him and I don't want to lose those friends, and he did get a little too close for comfort when he first came over to me at lunch today. I'm just tied.

"Yeah?" I asked in a monotone voice. I didn't want to seem rude, but I don't know if I wanted to talk to him or not.

"Urm, I just wanted to say sorry about earlier. Like, getting really angry, I'm sorry if it scared you or anything," He sounded really sincere with his apology, and I was thankful for it because he did slightly scare me, but I don't want the girls to get annoyed with me because I'm talking to him.

"Thanks, but what made you so angry?" I asked in a slightly nicer voice than before. I started walking and Leo immediately started walking with me.

"It's complicated, and I don't really want to talk about it," he told me. I understand where he is coming from. There is so much stuff that I don't want to tell people. Mainly because I don't want to get hurt again.

"Fair enough," I said. The air between us became a little awkward so I decided to carry on talking. "So, do you know if there is a café or something like that around here? Just because being at home isn't my thing."

"Yeah, my mum owns a café if you wanna go there. She makes the best milkshakes in the world," he told me with a slight laugh at the end. I laughed with him because it was kinda cute, the way he acted when he mentioned them.

"Sure, it sounds good," I said with a smile.

I know, I shouldn't really be hanging around with him and being all friendly with him, but I want help it. He seems like such a nice guy and I'm not gonna turn down a friend because of someone else's grudge against them. And anyway, what Zoe and the others don't know won't hurt them.
