"I'm glad you guys are here."

It's been almost two weeks now that I've been ignoring the gang, two weeks of not going to and from school with Shane, two weeks of Ignoring Isabella and Tania, of not sitting with the gang during lunch, of loneliness.

The truth is, I'm tired of ignoring them all, it's true they hurt me, yet it hurts a lot that though I see them almost everyday, I still can't talk to them, especially Shane. Knowing even if we talk, we would end up arguing doesn't stop me from missing him, from being hurt.

I've been ignoring all their messages, their stories, I muted myself in the group chat, ignoring their calls, ignoring them in class and Unfournately, there's no period I don't have at least one of them in the same class and I have the same spare with Isabella and Tania.

I made up my mind I've had enough, I want to go back to being friends with the gang, I want to listen to their excuse, to the reason why they didn't tell me. With that thought in mind, I went to the cafeteria when the bell rang for lunch.

I walked over to their table, 'our table' and set down my tray, before taking my sit between Tania and Shane. Tania to my right and Shane to my left, David sitting beside Tania, then Isabella and Nate which automatically makes Nate sits beside Shane.

They looked up, surprised to see me sitting with them, they all shared a glance before looking back at me.

"BFF, I'm sorry__," Isabella tried pleadingly before I caught her off.

"Telling me sorry won't solve anything," I smilled before turning to Tania. "School daughter, tell me what's up, how your bully became your cousin, I want to know." I finished snorting.

"Really Lola, let me explain." Shane offered.

"Not you!" I snapped, making them jump. "I'm talking to Tania," I finished calmly, giving Tania a nudge.

"Honestly Mine, I'm so__,"

I scoffed, "Don't tell me sorry Tania," I cut in again. "Just answer the damn question I asked."

"Okay," she said in a shaky voice. "Shane is my cousin and I wasn't lying when I told you I hate him. We never get along and of course, he used to bully me. I didn't tell you he's my cousin because I thought it's of no use since we don't get along and you obviously do not like him. We started getting along after you rescued me the day he was bullying me and I don't know how to tell you then that we are cousins."

"Okay," I turned to Shane. "You," I said raising an eyebrow.

He looked disturbed, like he was scared of saying the wrong thing. I tapped him on the shoulder, bringing him back to us.

"Tania said it all Lola," his voice was surprisingly warm. "It's not that girl's fault, it's mine. I always bully her whenever I get the chance, at home, in school, anywhere. I've never been there as the big brother I should be to her, so she did no wrong by not acknowledging the fact that she are cousins, because I scared her. And really if you know she's a cousin to me, would you accept her as your school daughter?"

I shook my head negatively, his words beginning to make sense to me.

"So you see, knowing she's related to me would obviously make everyone stay clear of her even though I still bully her. That's why aside from all of us at this table, no one else in this school knows we are related. I'm really sorry Lola," he finished with an apology, a sincere one.
