Lost

chapter 5

Annabelle's POV:

It's lunch time, as I was about to eat.  i started thinking of Elizabeth and her weird attitude. It feels like she is going through a lot but I don't know what it is she hasn't told me anything and it feels like she doesn't want me as her friend.

I have this strong feeling it's something God wants me to help her with. But how can i?, What can I do?, I don't even know what up with her, so how am i suppose to start?

I bowed my head a little and said few words of prayer to God,

"Father, I know you are aware of everything that is going on in our lives and you know what Elizabeth is going through. I pray that you give me the grace to help her in Jesus name, Amen"

I was about to open my lunch and start eating when I heard Gazelle talking to Elizabeth. I had to intervene cos' it seems Elizabeth is getting hurt by her words. Although, I didn't quite hear what she was saying.

I walked over to where they were and I said to her, "can you stop being mean, Gazelle?"

"If i don't what would you do?", she said

That's a really good question what can I do?. I can't fight her so what am I suppose to do. I then said to her,

"Nothing, but please just leave her alone"

And I prayed to God that she doesn't do anything stupid cos' I don't want to know how her hands looked on my face.

She just turned around and said to the girls behind her,

"ok ladies let's leave this creeps alone"

I thanked God in my heart that she left because I don't know what it would have been like if she decided that she  wanted to fight.

So I looked at Elizabeth and asked her if she was ok. She nodded to tell me she was. And I offered to share my lunch with her but she looked reluctant at first then, she accepted later on.

So we chatted all the way or maybe I just did most of the talking but she smiled anyway and it was really nice. I still wonder what might have happened. I know Elizabeth from afar and I don't know her to be this reserved.

She complemented my cooking, not to brag but the food taste delicious, if I do say so myself. My mom is a chef so you can understand where I got my culinary skills from. Ok this is not about me . I still feel worried about Elizabeth and I wish God gives me the grace to help her with anything she is going through.

She laughed at all my jokes but I can feel she is holding back. What can it be that has happened. I can't ask her now cos' she might get angry and she might also decide not to talk to me anymore and I wouldn't want that so I didn't

It seems she wanted to tell me something but I guess she changed her mind. I gave her a warm smile.

Hey guys what do you think about this chapter?
Do you think it would have been nice for Anabelle to start asking Elizabeth about her problems when she is just getting to know her? I would love to hear your views

Am so sorry for the short chapter hopefully next one would be better
