STRANGE LOVE

chapter 10

Alia's p o.v

The rest of the week went by in a blur for me, I was mostly on my own, Tracy was always busy with Zion and Daniel with Pearl.

Whatever Zion was playing at was working, if he wanted to hurt me because of what I told his mum on pearls birthday then he was doing a good job, he was slowly taking away the people who cared about me, and he was taking the attention or would I say care away from me.

So that's how I was sitting alone in the cafeteria on a Thursday afternoon, Tracy sat with Zion with the excuse of a class project, and Derrick who was meant to be my partner was nowhere to be found so I studied alone.

The food in front of me didn't look appetizing to me, which was it's first, I loved food, food was my everything, but now look what Zion has done to me, you know that saying speak of the devil and he would appear? Well, it just came through , as I looked up Zion was making his way to my table with a bold smirk on his face, I didn't want anything to do with him, I somehow hated him now even if I knew it was wrong to hate your fellow human, but I guess anyone in my shoes would do the same, he proved to me that he could take everything from me if he wanted to and that hurts.

"Hey lovely" Zion said and took the seat next to me.

I turned to the other side as I didn't even want to look at his face, I didn't want the anger I had towards him to fade away because of how handsome he looked, stupid but true.

"Alia love" he said again this time he ran his hands in my hair which made me finally look at him.

"How are you" he asked with concern, honest concern,which made me roll my eyes at how unbelievable he was.

"Hey lovely how about you go to hell"I said and picked up my bags and stood up.

"Hey," he said and held my hands stopping me from leaving.

"Let me be Zion, please, "I said the anger building up inside me.

"Nope," he said popping the P which was kind of cute, and the fact that I could find whatever he does now as cute made me face-palm myself mentally.

"Why? if I may ask?"I said trying my best to still stay mad at him cause it wasn't really easy to look him in the eyes and still be mad at him, he just had that thing about him.

"Am not done with you yet, you know I would like to end this torture for you, all you need to do is go on a date with me and my mum" he said with a smile revealing his perfectly white teeth.

I rolled my eyes at him and yanked my hands away from him.

"Thanks for the offer but no, I would never go on a date with you and I would never take back my words, so screw you Zion knight" I said and left him.

I walked as fast as I could out of the cafeteria and made my way to the library, I needed a quiet place to think and the library was the best place to do so.

"Hey Alia wait please"I heard Tracy's voice calling out to me, I was mad at her, not because she was Zion's partner but because she couldn't even stay true to her own words because she jumped at the opportunity of being Zion's partner, and the fact that it affected our friendship hurts.

"What do you want?"I asked her immediately she caught up with me.

"Please let's talk please am so sorry I am, I....I....was so stupid and am still stupid, I shouldn't have eaten my own words and done the exact thing I warned you not to do.....please forgive me Alia please" she said.
