21 Revealing Mystery:Part 3 (1/2)

Distance

I had my library duty but I was in no state to attend. Mom always says my face reflects my hidden feelings which I buried deep inside and I knew at that time if I went to Jake he would ask me questions. I wasn't ready to answer.

It was raining. I came to my locker to fetch my umbrella. I was trembling. I was frustrated in anger. How could someone say that to me. What just happened....

Maybe....maybe I was at fault. It was a wrong decision to ask Rex. I shouldn't be hurt like this either. This is not the first time I'm abused. The person I trusted the most betrayed me before. Rex I only know him for a few days. He's a nobody.....nobody.....

I shut the locker with all the force I had. It was childish of me and it also made a loud noise. There was a group of boys standing a little far away beside the gate. I think I caught their attention by this childish act of mine. I saw one of them coming in my direction. I was in no position to explain so I kept facing downwards and started walking in the other direction.

”Bella!!!HEYYY STOP!!”

The boy's voice sounded familiar.

”Bella!Stop please!”

He ran and caught up with me and gave me a shaking. I was surprised to see it was Josh.

”Josh!! God it was you! You scared me!”

I tried to sound like I was fine. But great my tears didn't listen to me and started falling.

”Oh man!Damn did I really scare you that much?Why are you crying?” He was at loss what to say.

”No! No!I'm fine!” I assured him it wasn't him who made me cry. Josh patted his head in disbelief.

”Yes if u say so bells! Now umm... You going anywhere?” He asked in hesitation.

”No just going home! Why?”

”Oh you going home! Lemme drop you off then.”

”No I'll take the bus.Don't worry.Go hang out with your friends.”

”Nah I was with them the whole practice. I'll drop you at your home. It will be my pleasure.”
