~Chapter 10~

Greg

I would be lying if I said if I wasn’t grateful for Jamie. as annoying as she was, she obviously meant a lot to Belle.

Taking a second to inspect her, I noticed that she was the opposite of Isabelle. To a person passing by, you wouldn’t be able to tell that they were friends unless you saw them talk one another and then you would see the bond between them.

Jamie had a childish aspect to her that showed despite her choice of clothes. She may come across as a tough girl but she was the opposite. But dang, did she have a temper on her!

But then again, Belle was the same. She came across as someone to not mess with but personally, I think she was just a big softie.

It makes me happy to know that we’re making progress. I don’t expect her to spill her deepest darkest secrets but at least she’s trying to accept what’s going on. That’s something to be proud of in itself.

At least now that Jamie is here, Isabelle will be happier. She has someone to talk “girly” stuff with. I chuckled in my head...Isabelle and girly stuff. That’s like a no-no!

I shook my head to clear those thoughts and turned towards Jamie and Belle who were currently whispering to each other,”We really do need to go now or else we’ll be late for our next lesson. Frankly, I don’t want to late twice in one day.”

Jamie understood what I was trying to hint at and turned towards to Belle “Okay then. I’ll see you both at lunch then. Don’t listen to what others say ok?” She said the last bit to Belle and then turned around and started walking away from us.

When she was out of sight, I faced Belle and asked,” What was that about?”

She sighed and hoisted her bag higher onto her shoulders, a habit of hers that I’d noticed ” Nothing. Let’s go.”

I didn’t need to be told twice and started to make my way to our next lesson.

Before we went in, I turned to Belle and said,”Promise me you won’t fall asleep in this lesson. If you can, I’ll buy you a cookie form the canteen.”

She didn’t look fazed by my comment and replied with a blank look before saying,”Seriously, I thought you’d left the childish approaches already. Get some new techniques’!”

She pushed me out of the way and entered the room. I sighed loudly; she switches moods so often it’s hard to keep up.

I entered the classroom and hoped that the rest of the lesson would go quickly and that Belle would learn to behave.

Isabelle

I spent the remaining lessons of the day sleeping and listening to songs on my I-pod. I didn’t bother making conversation to Greg; he made me want to kill him sometimes.

He seriously should stop treating me like a child; it’s not working!

When the bell rang to indicate the end of the school day, I grabbed my bag and didn’t bother waiting up for Greg.
