Chapter 2 : The Rainbow

Chapter 2 : The Rainbow

Mara's P.O.V

As they always say, there will always be a rainbow after a rain/storm/problem and in my case after the disaster. My life now is not really different from before. I  was always left behind so I got used to it. A year passed already after my Grandmother's death and my school activities were perfectly fine as well as my academics. School is not a problem for me but the people in it, well let's say they're my inspiration of living because they add  colors to it which makes it less plain. I made 2 friends aside from Erica, which is my best of the best friend and family and they helped me to overcome and move on.

  The bell rang. "Hey! Mara! Wait up! " Drake says, panting like he was having an asthma attack. "Where is Chloe? " I asked him. "She, i-is" he stopped for a moment catching his breath, " she is outside already! I just went to the restroom. We were waiting for you." he adds and I smile to the way he looked like, poor thing. He really looked like some dog was  running after him.

   As I opened the door, a guy bumped into me and stumbled my things from my hands leaving my papers a mess! He looked at me then helped me pick my things, I was so annoyed. How can he not look to where he was going! He handed me my papers and I shot him a look.

His Dark Blue eyes meeting my Icy,cold, and irritated glare. "So, am I going to get a thank you?" He says. I couldn't believe what he just said. " Well, am I going to get an apology? You should really learn to look where your going." I snapped. I saw a smile in his face and my temper was growing, I couldn't believe this guy. "Well, I think it was not my fault that you were the one blocking my way." He says defending and making a stand.

  "What-you were-" Before I could even start what I was about to say at his face, Drake stopped me pulling me to go to the car. I was so mad and I couldn't stop thinking about the whole issue. Chloe and Drake were on the front seat and I was at the back. We headed to coffee shop to stay for awhile and chill. Chloe parked the car and  added make-up to her face but Drake stopped her. "What is wrong with you? " Chloe asked. Drake looked annoyed at her, " Adding something to your face is only going to irritate your skin, so stop experimenting on it. " Drake said. Chloe stopped and didn't put make-up but she gave him a really a glare. "Those make-ups won't kill me. " Chloe snapped.

There was always something between these two , I could really tell and see. But they don't, so... I'll leave them be and let them find it out themselves. Chloe is a really beautiful girl she is a cheerleader and she loves sports and Drake is a soccer player which is why they became really close with each other. Drake is really a sweet guy, I met him because of Chloe. Speaking of Chloe, she is my seatmate in almost all  my subjects and that is why we were always together. They were my friends  and they are the ones that keeps everything at place.

Drake's P.O.V

   We were at the coffee shop and the girls were waiting at the table as I was ordering them a frappe ,choco latte ,and banana cake. I could feel that Chloe was a bit angry with me for stopping her to put make-up so I decided to have an apologetic thing  for her. I ordered a cookie and requested for a flower so  that I could give that to her and say sorry to her for hurting her feelings. I came to their table and saw Chloe crying.

  Did that really have something to do with what I said to her in the car? My thoughts were bubbles and I really felt guilty. Mara whispered, "It's not your fault. It's something else." I felt relief but it was bothering me. Mara stood up and got tissue from the counter. I went near Chloe and gave her the flower. "What is this mark?" Chloe said looking up and fixing herself. " A flower." I grinned. Chloe chuckled," I know that this is a flower, silly. Why are you giving me a flower?" Chloe asked. I looked at her and answered ," I want to apologize to what I said earlier. I was wrong to what I  said. I was suppose to say that you don't have to put make-up because you are already beautiful."

 I saw Chloe blush and that made me feel something. I was smiling like an idiot but I couldn't help it. She told me her problems, about her grades that it was flunking. I told her I'll tutor her and that it was going to be fine. Mara was taking long at the counter so I decided to look for her. As I was walking I was really thinking to what I felt awhile back with Chloe. We were bestfriends and loved each other. We fight and we quarrel. We play together and we go everywhere together. What am I feeling?

  "You again?" I hear Mara say out loud. I ran towards her and saw the guy from earlier. I grabbed Mara before she does any stupid action to him. He was a new student and I know him. He was introduced to us by Mr. Roger and he is a smart, funny, and friendly guy. He was infront of Mara and apparently they are both not in good terms. So I pulled Mara heading to our table with Chloe leaving  Kevin out of sight so that everyone would be at ease.

Chloe's P.O.V

  Drake was holding Mara and pulling her and she seems very angry and upset. "What's wrong?" I asked, looking at them confused. Mara didn't answer, she took her latte and drank it and then ate her banana cake with an annoyed face. I gave Drake a look. "What happened?" I asked. Drake scratched his head not knowing where to start. "It was Kevin. He's here and earlier he kind of pissed Mara because he bumped her accidentally." Drake replies, I laughed turning to Mara. "Seriously, just that?" I asked.

  "Excuse me? Accidentally? Was that suppose to be true? He was so irritating! He couldn't even say sorry. He bumped me and messed my paper which I just organized," Mara started crying like a child. " He was just impossible, he's so annoying." Mara finished. Drake sipped his frappe and was smiling at us, somewhat amused. I gave him a confused look. He chukled and I smiled. Now, as I was making a face to Drake , a tall guy who was take note, a really handsome guy stood infront of us. He was Kevin I assumed.

  "I'm not annoying you know." Kevin said smiling. Mara stood straight and was a bit startled to what she heard. She fixed herself and said. "You are, and for your information Mr. Nobody cares who you are. I really don't like your attitude!" Kevin was chuckling. "Well , Ms. Whiny girl... I'm sorry for my attitude but not for awhile ago,you were really a block in the way." Kevin winked and head out. Mara however was really annoyed than ever. "you call that an apology?" she asked. Drake and I just laughed and for the first time I looked at Drake closely and felt something flutter in my stomach.

Mara'sP.O.V

How do I describe what a day this has been? Well, let's say it was just full of colors. That Kevin. Erica was already home and she left a spaghetti on the table with a note : Enjoy the food sweetheart. Explain tomorrow why you were late coming home. I smiled looking at the note and ate my spaghetti. Oh, I would definitely explain and tell the whole story. After the long day , I slept. The storm today was Kevin and the rainbow were my friends and the spaghetti.

Lights out everybody.
