Bella's pov: 2 days later (Thursday)

~~~~~~

Me and Ryuku, plus Evie and Eldoris have a ball practice later this afternoon. We still have to go to school unfortunately, but I guess it won't be to bad right?

Dad has been way overprotective since Monday. It got worse on Tuesday, we don't know why except that Aquaria declared war on us. Mom says we all need to be careful because Dad is trying to protect us, so me and Evie have been watching Kai and the triplets a lot.

Ryuku hasn't really spoken to me since I mentioned his Mom on Tuesday. In fact he's basically avoided me all the time, only smiling and walking off when I call him. I can't figure out how to fix it, but since he has to do this practice with me today, I'm hoping it'll help clear things up.

"Bella you're going to be late." Mom called to me.

I smiled at her and gave both my parents a hug. "Love you guys, come see our practice later! I think you'd be proud of me."

Mum laughed and Dad nodded. "Deal! Have a good day honey."

I grinned back at them, then walked out and got the ride to school. Evie had gone early, since she had needed to study at the library early today.

When I arrived at school, everyone seemed to greet me with shocked faces or envy, making me worried. Had Ryuku played another prank on me?

"Hey guys, what is happening?" I asked my friends as I walked up to them.

"You're never going to believe what Ryuku did this morning." Lana began.

I glanced at the others who seemed nonplussed, so whatever it was couldn't have been that bad right?

"What happened?" I queried, concerned.

"He told everyone you were dating in the most convoluted and strange way possible." Pearl giggled.

Ryuku's pov, 10 minutes earlier.

~~~~~~

I woke up a bit more relaxed today. I ate my breakfast and then walked to school, making a bee line for Brooke. I figure, if I break up with her now, no one will question us when I propose.

After dumping my bag in my locker, I found Brooke looking like nothing short of a slut and leaning against her own locker. I smirked to myself and walked over to her, and she smirked back obviously thinking I wanted her for other reasons. I'll be honest with you, I've never slept with her. We've only ever gone as far as kissing because every time I want to Arlo makes me hurt really badly.

"Hey baby! Did you finally decide you want to have some fun?" Brooke asked, batting her eyelashes at me. Ugh.

"Hey Brooke. No I didn't. Actually I have something else I wanna tell you bout. I'm breaking up with you." I smirked. Am I an ass?

"What?!" She screeched, drawing the attention of basically everyone in school.

People who were on their way to class all stopped and a collective "ooooooooh" sounded through the hallway.

"I. Am. Breaking. Up. With. You. You speak English. You heard me the first time." I replied folding my arms.

Brooke slapped me, her face imitating that of a angry french bulldog. "How dare you?! Got some other bitch, huh is that it? Is that why no matter what you wouldn't sleep with me?!"
