Patience

Chapter 3

Nyla POV

When I had woken up the next morning I had made sure that my mum had given me a lift to school.

I didn't want to have a awkward altercation with Levi. I still didn't know how he felt about me after finding out that I was avoiding him the whole day.

In the car my mum and I conversed in small talk and she was telling me about the conversation she had with my gran.

But I wasn't really listen, I was nervous, Levi was one of my best friends and I feel like I've been so horrible to him even if it was only one day.

"Honey, have you been taking your tablets?"

I knew she was going to ask me eventually, I couldn't bare lying to her so I just told her the truth. Which obviously resulted in me getting a lecture for not respecting me illness but I nodded while she was talking.

Once we were parked outside the school. She gave me a smile as she noticed my glum face, I was yet to tell her about Levi and I wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.

"Bye mum, Love you" I said while stretching over to the drivers side to kiss her cheek.

"Love you too, have a good day"

"I will"

And now it begins.

My nerves had kicked in, I had seen Levi angry before and it wasn't nice so hopefully he won't be too hard on me.

When I found him, I was disappointed to see that he was with his boys. Being around them always made me feel uncomfortable, but I knew I had to do this.

As I walked over to him a few of his friends noticed that I was approaching and nudged him.

When he turned to look at me he gave me a faint smile, before walking over to me.

As he stood in front of me, I wasn't sure what to say so I just blurted out the only thing that mattered.

"I'n sorry" I said while looking down.

"Sorry for what?" He looked slightly confused but maybe he was playing with me.

"For ignoring you yesterday, I was just paranoid and I didn't want to face you"

He started laughing loudly and that was when I knew that April has already told him.

"Operation Avoid Levi" he said in between laughs.

I started to laugh with him, once I realised how silly I had been.

"So you're not angry at me?" I asked just to make sure that we were 100% cool.

"Of course not, I could never be angry at my favourite girl" he said while pulling me in at my waist to give me a tight hug.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck returning the hug. Before we pulled away I made sure to kiss his cheek as that always made him smile.

After my brother, Levi was one of the few boys I could talk to and I couldn't let him go. Sometimes we would do things that would make many people think that we were a couple but he was my brother and nothing more.
