Just hear him out..
DAVIS POV
” Why did you lie about what happened?” Selene’s mum mouthed as she came into my room. I was busy packing up my stuff for school when she came in. Annoyed by her intrusion, I went on packing my stuff ignoring her. ” Davis, I asked you a question.” She said again and I turned to face her.
” You should not barch into my room like that, you could have at least knocked.” I responded, irritated by how she invaded my privacy.
” Am sorry I guess, I just wanted an answer to my question.” She responded insisting I answered her question. ” Please leave my room, I do not want to be late for school.” I responded, but she did not move at inch, instead she stood peering into my eyes.
I realized she was pretty determined to have me answer her as she would not leave even after I asked her too.
” You should be grateful I didn’t tell on you not coming up my room with all the questions.” I responded to her as I tried to pack my bags, it was almost time to head to school. ” But that is not the answer to the question.” She said again and I insisted she left my room.
” You should leave, I dnt want to talk to you about anything.” I responded as I picked up my bags to head downstairs, she stared at me for a moment, before motioning to leave. ” You should learn to get along with me, am sorry for how I yelled the other day.” She said and walked out of my room. I followed her and we got downstairs.
Soon enough, we were on our way to school and had stopped at a cafeteria to get some stuff. We arrived at school, same time Jade arrived. Immediately I got a glimpse of her, I called out for her hoping she would stop and want to listen to me, but she didn’t, Instead she walked away ignoring me. I knew she heard me, but did not want to stop. ” Jade.. wait please, let me explain.” I said continually calling out for her as I raced to meet her. She stopped for a moment and I was happy. ” Jade, I have been calling…” I was trying to talk but was cut short by Jade’s response.
“You have nothing to say Davis just leave me alone.” She said as she walked away into the class.
” Trouble in Disneyland?” Selene said as she walked past me and headed to class, ” You should learn to mind your business, Selene.” I told her and walked to class annoyed by her comment.
Though out the day in class, I could barely concentrate as I stole peek glances at Jade, Vala had caused problems between I and Jade and now, Jade didn’t want to talk to me.
I noticed during recess, she was out with Selene, ” when did they become friends?” I questioned as I watched them chatter along with Xavier during recess. It seemed they had developed a friendship. ” I guess she is talking bad about me to Jade.” I said as I noticed Selene talking to Jade and Xavier. They seemed to be talking about something Important as they listened with rapid attention.
I did not have a relationship with Selene so I could not possibly ask her to help out. I walked out to meet with them at the playground and meet up with Vala on my way there.
” I thought after what happened, you would have the courtesy to apologise at the very least.” She said as she approached me, but I was not ready to deal with that confrontation. Vala had ruined my friendship with Jade with her big mouth, “how she even ask for an apology?” I mumbled to myself.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I can’t deal with you right now, Vala. I will talk to you later, alright.”
I responded to Vala but she was not having it, she has come prepared to make trouble with me. I decided to ignore her presence and walk away from her to avoid any altercation with her.
Ignoring Vala’s persistent presence for now, I turned and walked towards where Selene was talking to Jade and Xavier. As I got to where they were, they stopped what they were saying and turned to look at me.
I spoke softly as I could, “Selene, Xavier could you please give us a moment alone? There are things that need clarification between Jade and myself.
” Selene dnt go anywhere, let go someplace else. I dnt want to hear anything he has to say.” Jade responded. Selene smirked at her and for the first time, I hope she would take my side. Selene’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked between Jade and me.
” It is ok Jade, just hear him out.” She said as she motioned to leave, ” Thank you.” I mouthed as she pulled Xavier so they could leave.
She left with Xavier, giving us the privacy we needed. I took a deep breath before turning towards Jade, my voice filled with remorse, “Jade, please listen to me. I never meant to hurt you or lie about what happened.” But she seemed determined to shut me out, her gaze fixed on the ground as tears welled up in her eyes.
“Jade, please give me a chance to explain. I know Vala caused problems between us, but I swear it wasn’t intentional. She twisted the truth and created misunderstandings.” My voice was filled with desperation as I reached out to touch her arm gently. But she pulled away, shaking her head.
“Davis, I can’t trust you anymore. You let Vala come between us and I don’t know if I can forgive you,” Jade said, her voice trembling with hurt. She turned and walked away, leaving me standing there feeling utterly defeated.
I watched as Jade walked away, feeling the weight of my mistakes crushing me. How could I let Vala ruin everything? Determination welled up inside me as I made a silent promise to fix things, no matter what it took. I couldn’t bear losing Jade, not when she meant so much to me. With renewed determination, I set out on a mission to regain her trust and mend our broken friendship.
As I stood wondering what I would do to get Jade on my mind again, Selene walked pass me. “I can help you” Selene mouthed. At first I wanted to reject her offer but I guess I did not have a choice. I wanted to be friends with Jade again.
” How?” I asked her. ” Leave that to me, but you have to do this for me too.” She responded and turned to whisper some words to my ears.
” I will do it, just help me.” I said as we both walked back to class.
