LOVE RESURRECTION

Chapter 13

Shelly's POV:

The morning seems dull to me coz I lied to my best friend and hid myself in the house, seems like I am currently the worst person in this world hiding from my bestie rather than being strong and helping her with whatever it is.

It felt so difficult getting out of the bed and have to go back to school. Yet I made it to the bathroom and getting ready. I was as slow as a snail and didn't have the track of time. I happened to look at my watch and realize that I am 10 mins late. I grab my lunch and shut the door behind me. The door hit with such a force that it scared me. Yet I brisk walked towards the school seeing Harper waiting for me at the gate. She had been calling me but I didn't receive. She saw me coming and waved at me. "Hey Shell! Where have you been?" She asked with a bright smile on her face. "Uhh.....I woke up late and got late" I panted. "How you feeling now? Any better?" She looked at me while walking. "Y....yes. I just feel a bit tired" I stammer as I struggle a little for breath. "What happened to you exactly? You didn't tell me" she faced the way we were walking and then at me.  "Oh.....umm..... just......ha....got sick. I....uh....I caught fever. But I am okay now" I stammer more. "Okay" she gave me a reassuring smile.

We reach the lockers. As soon as Harper took her books out she shut the door and looked at me "Yesterday was good, no one bothered me even a bit. What did you do?" she sarcastically said. I chuckle "Am I a fairy with a magical wand that's gonna go all bibbidi-bobbidi-bo and people will stop bothering you?" I say rolling my eyes, "I just said that to boost your confidence so that you face this huge world without me" I said gesturing to my self and flip my hair. "Luckily I faced the huge world for a day without you" she faced me. We let out an annoying laugh and start walking towards our classes. 

Harper's POV: 

I am so excited to tell Shelly about yesterday, but I didn't get an opportunity to also I don't know how she would react because she is least interested to hear about Dean. But nevermind I'll tell her anyways, as my bestfriend she should listen me and understand my feelings. 

I walk into my classroom waving Shelly off and wait for the lecture to start. I wait for the distraction co show up but hen realize this is math and he won't be there for that. 

I somehow managed to survive the math lecture and walk out of the class and wait for Shelly by the lockers. "Hey" she tapped on my shoulder from behind. "Hii" I smile. "I heard there's a party at Jason's this evening" she sighed. "Not like you're going" I shrug. She nodded and gave me a little smile. "Uh....hey....I have to tell you something" I say. She turned to me "I think this is not the time" she said holding her books. "Yeah...right" I nod and take my books too. I want her to know about yesterday so desperately, but didn't get a chance anyway. "Okay see you at lunch" she closes her locker door and faces me. "Yeah sure" I give her a half smile and turn towards the hallway and walk for the class.

I see Dean during this class and I sound like a creep but all I did was look at him and smile. The rest of the lecture passes and just a single class away from lunch. I manage to get through the classes and wait for Shelly in the canteen. She shows up after some time, "Hey! Sorry for being late I was discussing something with the teacher" she huffs. I turn to face her, "I've been waiting for you" I glance at her and see her breathing heavily, "You ran?" 
She sighed, "Yeah"
"Why?" I scoffed. "I can't leave your all by yourself to deal with this huge world Harper Crosslin, I care for you" she flipped her hair and folded her hands to her chest. "Thanks Mom, for taking care of me" I wink.

"So you mean that the Dean guy was staring at you" she stir her food on the plate and looks at me. "Yeah.....I mean I caught him staring at me...." I say before she cuts me off. "What if he was just glancing around and you just caught his eyes right at the moment he looked at you" she rolled her eyes. "Harper you're an overthinker, you know that right?" She placed her hand on my shoulder and faced me. "Shell, he was staring at me and I felt......" My eyes abruptly stop at a person. ".....did you see that" faced her. "See what?" She took a bite. "Shelly I caught him staring at me again" I look at Dean who is now sitting with his friends facing me and Shelly. Shelly followed my gaze and looked at him, "I don't see it. He's talking to his friends." She rolled ger eyes again. "Okay just wait and watch" I shoved the food into my mouth as I give Shelly nasty looks. "What's that look for?" She raised an eyebrow. "Proving you wrong" I narrow my eyes.

We walk back to the lockers from the canteen. "He looked at me several times Shell and you're saying you didn't even see him once." I fold my hand to my chest as I walk beside her. "I am saying what I saw, and I did not see whatever you saw. Harper I think you're daydreaming" she chuckles. "The one to pull all nighters are you and you're saying I daydream?" I say with an Irritation in my tone. "I'll believe you once I see him staring at you" she looks at me as if I was lying. "Fine then, we'll sit the same place everytime and see whether you're right, then we'll think about it" she said it in a low tone not wanting to say whatever she said. "Okay" I smiled as I turned to face her while walking. 

The day is finally over and I discuss about Dean walking back home with Shelly and as usual she was not interested but then I just talked to her about him. All she told me was to wait and think about what's happening because I maybe taking it the wrong way.

I think about it after dinner as I try finishing my homework. And after an hour I am done I sigh and put my head down on the table.

I get to bed after I cleaned everything up. As soon as I hit the bed I fall asleep.
