Bad Boy turns into a Good Boy

I know that I can always count on her

Alicia's POV

"Al." a familiar voice calls my name.

I turn my head and find Belle standing behind me. 

"Hey." I say with a small voice, didn't expect her to call me.

Belle Summer isn't the type of person who comes to you first when you just had a fight with her. She's the stubborn one.

So when I found her come to me first after we had a fight is kinda surprised me.

"Can we talk?" Belle asks without looking at me.

I try to find the other girls but didn't find any of them. Bet they are hiding right now. I know that the girls are trying to make me and Belle good again ever since Eliza told me that they're with Belle this morning.

Because after all, it's 7 or never, right? right. Why does it sound like 7 musketeers?

"Sure." I reply with a smile. Deep down in my heart, I missed talking to her already. I know that I'm overreacting, like it's only been 2 days for fuck's sake, but it's true, I missed talking to her.

I just want The Owls to have a lunch together again like last week, like usual.

"But not here." Belle says.

I look at her with a confused expression. I mean, it's not bad to talk here, it's break time and there aren't a lot of students here in the corridor because most of them are in the canteen right now, so I think it's safe to talk here?

But looks like Belle isn't agree with me.

"Okay, let's go." I say.

"Ali!" another voice calls my name, stopping me and Belle.

We both turned our heads and found Jackson waving at me, or maybe at us.

"Hey Jackson, what's up?" I greet him with a fake smile.

I didn't mean to give him a fake smile though, it's just, I'm kinda annoyed that he showed up at times like this. I mean, who knows if Belle was going to tell me the truth. Ugh, this is really not the right time for him to show up.

"I just want to talk to you about..."

"Hi Al, I need to go now, let's just talk next time." Belle leaves me and Jackson as soon as she said it.

I look at her with a confused expression. Her expression changed as soon as Jackson comes, and she keeps staring at the ground. What's happening? I smell something fishy on here.

The memory of Belle and Jackson talked in one of the school's corridors came to my mind. Right, I know that Belle is hiding something from me, but now I'm also positive, that Jackson is also hiding something.

"Ali." Jackson calls me, interrupting me from my own thoughts.

"Oh yeah sorry. What do you want to talk about?" I say.

"I want to talk about our project. Don't forget that today's after school, we are going to practice for our role play." He says with a smile.

"Oh yeah that project, sure sure." I reply.

To be honest, I don't really care about the project anymore. I know that we haven't even practiced at all, and it's only one more week until we perform in front of the class.
