Falling for Him

Chapter 19

Two chapters updated at one time. Ok this is dedicated to my friend GallivantGold for helping me :) thank you =D

Feeling something buzzing on top of my hand, I lazily opened my eyes to see I received a text from Mary. Unlocking my phone, I immediately replied.

Hey wanna come to the mall?-M

Yea sure what time?-B

3? Good for u?-M

Sure, see u then =) -B

I looked at the time and to my surprise it was half past two. No way! I slept for nearly the entire day but on the bright side, my headache was gone. I ran to my bathroom where I brushed my teeth again, showered and then changed into some black skinny jeans and a loose white top with a black heart in the centre. It was a half shoulder top meaning, the neck line was really close to my neck on one side and far on the next. Finally, I pulled my hair into a side braid and applied some lipgloss, as my only makeup and my ballet flats. Just as I was about to leave, I grabbed my bag and told Nikki I was feeling better and was going to the mall. She said ok, that I could go and so I left.

The mall which Mary and I hung out at was really close to my house so, I decided to walk. In addition, the fresh air would do me good. I arrived at North Shore Mall and as I entered, the air condition instantly cooled me. Walking to Alegría, which was a cupcake shop where we always were, I spotted Mary. She was sitting in the corner with Jasmine and Nate. Oh my god, I didn't know Nate was going to be here. Mary was laughing at something Nate said and she was also blushing like crazy.

"Hey guys," I said taking the seat opposite Jasmine.

"Hey Belle," they greeted.

We sat there for a little while eating our cupcakes before Jasmine wanted to go shopping. We paid for our treats and left to go to our favourite store Forever 21. The best thing about Nate was that he would stay with us no matter where we went, even if it was a girly store.

Mary was the fun one in our group, when I say that, I mean, she was defiantly the one that came up with all the wild and crazy ideas. Of course being the good friends we are we always agreed and that's probably why most my memories are with the four of us. I could say hands down that, if it wasn't for her, over three quarter of my funny, weird and slightly disturbing memories would not be present since, she had some part to play in them. She had chestnut brown hair and eyes and when she smiled, you could see her dimples. To add to the above she was smart, like a genius. Whenever we had any problem with school work we would always go to her.

After going to a few more stores, we were tired so we sat at the edge of the giant fountain in the middle if the mall. There was a little edge and it was there we sat and talked.

"So Belle, how was the big date?" Mary inquired.

This was the topic I was trying to avoid for nearly the entire time here but, I knew sooner or later it would come up.

"It was good, normal I guess,"

Who was I kidding, I mean who cries on a date? I guess my date was anything but ordinary.

"C'mon, tell us everything that happened," said Jasmine, her excitement clearly noticeable.

I told them everything but before doing that, I glimpsed at Nate. He was staring at me and with each word I said, he grimaced as if I was hurting him. When i finished just as he was about to say something, Jasmine exclaimed,"That was so sweet and perfect!"

Smiling a tight smile, I asked Nate how he was since I desperately wanted to change the topic from Brandon and I had not spoken to him in a while. Not answering my question, he asked one of his own.

"Belle, what do you see in him?"

"Well, he's kind and sweet," I finally answered unsure of what to say.

"He made you upset for heavens sake! Can't you see he doesn't care about you!"

I tried looking for Mary or Jasmine to see if they could help me but to my disappointment, they were not around. Probably they didn't want to get in our way, I wasn't too sure but I guessed that was why. I looked into Nate's eyes and I could see him concerned.

"I don't know why, he makes me feel different than any other person," I finally responded.

"Belle, you are different, and special, and caring, so caring. You have this spark in you that no one could extinguish. I just don't want to see you get hurt. Especially by him,"

With that he pulled me into a hug and I smiled. Hugging him tighter, my mind raced for I did not know who I liked. Nate or Brandon? My mind was screaming Nate but, my heart had already chosen Brandon.

So second chapter I promised. Ok I'm tired gonna go to bed now goodnight! Hope you guys enjoyed :)
