The Unforgettable Love

Chapter 3

Vanessa's P.O.V

Everyone stares at me as I enter the school with Jessica. I was already nervous and now this.
"Why are they staring at me?" I ask her.

"Probably looking at the new hottie who just walked in" She winked at me.

"Jess!" I say trying to hide my blush.

"Nessa!" She mimics me.

"Drama queen" I roll my eyes at her but end up laughing. This girl makes me laugh no matter what mood I am in. I don't know what would I do without her specially in a life like mine!

"Hey!" Jess waved at two girls of our age, over the corner and rushes to them dragging me with her.

"Hey Jessica!" One of the girl says. She has red hair, brown eyes and some freckles over her face. She's cute and seems nice.
I guess she noticed I was staring at her for a moment so she speaks to me.

"I guess you're Vanessa?" she says more like a question, "The girl you've been talking about?" She looks from me to Jess and then again back at me.

"Yuppp" Jess says popping the "p"

"Hey Vanessa, I'm Sofia. Nice to meet you" the red haired girl says softly.

"You can call me Nessa, and same here" I give her a warm smile.

"And I'm Sasha" the second girl pops out of nowhere. She was there the whole time though, I didn't pay much attention as I was busy talking with Sofia. Rude Nessa! I was snapped out my thoughts by Sasha speaking to me.

"Hey I don't think you hit your head hard enough to go into a different world time to time." we all laugh at her comment.
Yes, seems like they know about my accident because my dear Jess, is a gossip queen! But I love her anyway. And they seem to be her close friends so I don't mind.

"I'm sorry, actually I have a lot of things going in my head right now" I say embarrassedly.

"Oooh deep thinker" Sasha says. This kid seems so interesting!

"Anyway come on Nessa we need to go get your time table" Jessica pulls me out from the group, mouthing "Bye" to them and I just smile at them.

"Sasha is a goof, don't mind her comments" Jess says.

"What?" look at her blankly, "I thought you were smarter than this!" I say earning a confused look from her.
"She's funny! I found her interesting, not rude" and we both laugh.
That nervousness starts to crawl back in me again as we reach the office.

"Be here I'll go call Mrs. Levine to give you your time table, probably she's in the staff room" She says and goes in search of her.

I take a look outside the office room, it was well furnished and maintained. As I was looking around, I heard a male voice shouting. I peeped in a narrow pathway which leads to the principal's office and saw an aged man probably in his 50's shouting at a boy around my age. My heart starts to beat fast as I walk closer to hear them clearly. Sherlock much Nessa?!

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I TELL YOU TO NOT GET INTO FIGHTS??" the man shouts at the poor boy.

"B-but they were bullying her!" The boy says with fear and anger in his voice.

"I DON'T CARE! YOU COULD HAVE COMPLAINED A TEACHER INSTEAD OF PUNCHING HIS NOSE!"

The boy looks at him in anger and shouts at his face "AND WAIT FOR THEM TO MAKE HER BLEED OUT OF HER MOUTH? I'M NOT LIKE THOSE COWARDS"
My heart starts to beat even faster as if I've heard those words before.

*VISION*

"There was no need to punch him!" I said sitting in a bathroom wiping off blood and cleaning bruises from a guy's face by some wet cotton, who's sitting on the toilet seat.

"Couldn't you see? They were saying shit about you!" he said raising his voice.

"But that doesn't mean you will beat them up!" I raised my voice too.

"They just said something bad about me! didn't beat me, did they? But you had to punched him straight! What if he hurt you even more? Why can't you stay silent for God's sake!"

"AND WAIT FOR THEM TO MAKE YOU BLEED OUT OF YOUR MOUTH? I'M NOT LIKE THOSE COWARDS" he shouts at my face.

I stay silent for a while trying to hold back my tears. Not because he shouted at me but seeing his red and black bruised face.

"Look what they did to you! I hate to see you hurt and bleed like this!" I say almost in a cry voice.

"OK then don't see! Get out of here I can do it on my own" he gets up from the toilet seat but falls down soon after "Ow!" he says holding his knee.

I laugh at his overconfidence and sat in front of him narrowing my eyes. He looks at me and looks back at his knee holding it in pain.

"Want me to lift you up? Princess?" I say in a dramatic voice. He looks up at me sternly, I gave a sarcastic smile. And we both burst off laughing.

"Why are you so cute?" I say kissing his cheek.
"Because I'm your princess" he says in a girly voice.
