I don't know

I don't know what happened to Belle. Yesterday, when we were at the auditorium she just ran off while Anthony was giving his speech and after that I have no clue where she has been.

Issabelle never does something like this. She never becomes invisible. Why can't she understand how important she is for me? Why can't she understand that when I don't know where she is, I become so worried.

Because last time I didn't know where she is, I found her killing herself by jumping off the cliff.
The whole time I was tensed. I tried to call her but there was no one responding. I went at her house but it was locked. So I thought I'll met her before school in the morning.

But there is no sign of her even in the morning . I'm relieved as Mr. Adams or David as he prefers me to say ( Issabelle's dad) told me that she is alright. She was just busy with some work yesterday.

And the thing that pisses me off is that she already went to school without me. It is the first time this has happened.

Belle has done a lot of new things in the past 24 hour.

-•–•—•—•–•-

It has been the mostly that whole day in school that I've not seen Belle. Where is she? She didn't attend the first four periods and lunch is also going to end in sometime and there is no sign of her.

I ran to her locker for the 100000000 time and there she is standing with a lot of papers and markers in her hand.

"Hey Ell, how you doin?" She asked casually as if nothing happend.

" Are you kidding me. What are you doing. I got so stressed the whole fuckin day. I wasn't even able to concentrate on the lectures" I hugged her while saying.

I must've looked some overprotective boyfriend type.  What an Idiot I'm

" Aww!! See how you got stressed" she said after consuming what I said as I don't swear that much

" Explain"
" Okay. Yesterday while Anthony was giving his speech Geremy got all stressed and started panicking. I promised him that I will help him with the canvassing. So I was fulfilling my promise and it was quite fun.I saw your phone calls really late."
" I'm sorry" she made her puppy face. " Don't give me that puppy face. No. Not working Ms Issabelle." I said as cold as Antarctica.

" Oh come on. Don't be a kid." And after seeing my no- mercy face she said " Okay. Fine. I'll buy you an ice cream as an apology. You can't deny now."

I'm trying so hard not to melt " Oh please. I see you smiling." She said while poking my shoulder and moving her eyebrows.

And then I smiled. Smiled like there was no tomorrow. Aghhhhhhh!!

" Are you coming for Geremy's canvassing ?" She asked excitedly. " That was unexpected and no I'm not. I asked the principal for leaving early as there is no class after lunch because of the election thing. She permitted. And I'll be going to the bakery to work. Myles said it is alright if I come early today" I answered.

"But what about your vote then." She asked.
" It's not going to make such a difference. Hey wait , but you can vote from my side" I said while giving her the slip we were given in the morning.

" Vote for whom" she asked " I mean Anthony is your friend and I don't know if you want to vote for Geremy."

" Cast my vote for Anthony. His Manifesto was good and he asked me to vote for him. Geremy didn't even asked for it from me" I answered.
" It will be the first time we don't do the same thing" she said in a low sad voice, merely audible.

" Okay bye then. I should get going." I said while trailing off. She didn't answer me back:(

-•–•—•—•–•-

Work at this time of day is negligible . Just filling and cleaning the counter as the lunch time at almost every working place gets over. But I like when there are people in the bakery. It is not so me but I like socialising with people who come to bakery.

Myles was doing the obvious,  something on her phone while smiling. I got a a deja vu as I turned and saw him coming. This has definitely happened earlier. He was here before under same situation. He, I mean

Anthony Kruger

" How come you are here?" we both asked at the same time. There was silence but Anthony broke it " I just didn't want to do that canvassing-shit so I just came here to grab a coffee"

" For me it is pretty much the same less the fact I am not one of the contenders." I joked.
Idoit.
How many times I say this to myself??
I should stop that. It is so idiotic.

But it got more confusing when I saw him grinning. Is it because of annoyance or happiness " Will you take my order or just keep looking at me?" He enquired.

I must be looking such an Idi-

" What do you want sir" surprisingly Myles spoke. " Black coffee with no sugar and foam" he replied to her. She smiled and started preparing it. It is also something new that has happened today.

When everything was back to normal , Myles was on her phone and Anthony was getting up to go, he asked a surprising but intriguing question.

" Are we friends, Elliot?"
I thought for a moment and said" Yes. I guess" . " Indeed we are" he said.

" I know it is early but can I ask you for a favour" he said with hope plastered on his face.

"Yeah. If it has nothing to do with getting punished." " I would like to help you,Anthony"
" Great. And i would prefer Anth if you don't mind"

I nodded and said" What favour do you want."
" I........... uh........... I want you to bring Issabelle along  somewhere"
It is a really off-guard favour but I see no harm in it. Moreover he is my friend and same goes with Belle,So I said just said a word "When??"

" Soon"
