Change of heart ❤ (unedited)

A New Turn

We were walking. He didn't say a word neither did I. We walked till my apartments came. He waved and waited for me to go inside. I smiled and went inside. I didn't know what was happening with me. But now I felt nice around him. After all he was a nice guy.

I washed up and changed. I saw a message on my phone. It was from Andy. I had a smile on my face. Oh my god.. What was happening to me. I threw away my phone , looking at it with a disgusting face. But then I picked it up again and saw the message. It said,

*Good Night. I hope you wake up with a beautiful smile. I hope your life makes a new turn and you smile every day. *
~Your new friend - Andy❤

I don't know why but I blushed after looking at the message. It was sweet. My new friend... So does that mean I have a friend. How is that possible, I tried so hard not to make friends. Though my mom forced me to, but I had a lot of attitude that everybody stayed away from me. Someone like Andy can only be my friend. He dragged himself along with me every day. Well! I have to give my mind some rest.

*************************
I waved mom goodbye and headed towards the bus stop. I saw Andy coming too. He smiled at me, I blushed. Am I sure this is only friendship. I hope!! I smiled at him in return . he came and stood next to me. He said,

"Hi! Miss Anthrophobia"

"Would you stop calling me that!"

"We are friends so let's call each other by nicknames."

" OK ! Mr. Monster!"

"Yaah! What's that? Do I look like a Monster to you?" He came close to me showing his face and making faces. I laughed

"You do." I couldn't stop laughing. He looked so funny.

"You look beautiful when you laugh." He smirked and patted me on my head. The bus came. We sat next to each other. I didn't insist he did that. I was listening to music. He took out one of my earphones and tugged into his ears. We were listening to songs. He made a face on my choice. I was listening to kpop. I loved it. If he didn't then he should take the earphones out I didn't tell him to tug them in. Well! He did listen to the songs. I was looking out of the window the whole time. The school came. We headed towards our class. He excused and said,
"I have to go somewhere, you go first." I nodded. I entered the class. I went to my place , I was reading a book. He came in, every girl was drooling over him. I noticed that today but instead he came and looked at me. I picked up my bag from the seat next to me and let him sit. We spent the first half without talking because everybody was looking at us as if we did something wrong.

It was the lunch time he went with his friends. I felt bad. First he made me his friend, now he was not hanging out with me, friends do that. Well!  I shouldn't care. I took my lunch and went for the rooftop. It was locked. A message was written on the door,
* I knew you would come back here. Take a turn and go to the cafeteria.*
I didn't know why but I felt like laughing. Well! I took a turn and went to the cafeteria. Everybody was looking at me but I was only finding Andy. I saw him at the end. He smiled at me I smiled at him back. I sat on one of the empty tables. I was busy eating when a girl approached me and said ,

" yaah Silent soul!! What's wrong with you. I see that you are hanging around Andy a lot."

I looked up at her and said,
"Me?"

"Why? Do you think someone else is sitting beside you?"

" I don't think so, but if you are talking to me , then better get lost or I'll slap you so hard that you may not be able to show your face to anybody. "

I know I was rude but what could I have done. What if I get bullied again. She looked at me first then she took my lunch tray and threw it away on my face. I looked at her with anger.

"Why? Now who will be able to show her face again huh?"

"You need to learn some manners sweetheart."

Everybody was looking at us. I think I made a mistake accepting Andy as my friend , I shouldn't be doing that. Maybe girls who like him will kill me. I don't want that life again. While this happened Andy came and slapped that girl so hard that even I was shocked. He yelled at her ,

"You! Dare you come near Julia again!!"

"But..but Andy.." That girl said

"I don't want any excuses. If you annoy her once again, I will not leave you alone."

Andy grabbed me and dragged me to the washroom. He didn't have any problem coming into a female washroom. He cleaned my face and my blazer. I looked at him all the time. I didn't say a word. He looked at me and said,

" I am sorry. It's all because of me but I promise you this will never happen again so Julia don't ever stop smiling. The way you were yesterday and today. I totally loved it. You were so brave. I am proud of you."

He patted me. I didn't say a word. Tears streamed down my face. He looked at me in shock. I don't know why I was crying. I just wanted to run away. I was a strong girl I wasn't suppose to cry. Not in front of Andy at least. I think I felt comfortable in front of him that is why I cried. He hugged me tightly and said,

"Julia, I was always by your side and I always will."

He looked at me and bent down to kiss me. I didn't say anything. I allowed our lips to meet.
