29 A Childish Act: Part 1 (1/2)

That day inside Rex's car I didn't talk much. My heart was beating out of fear thinking that Rex can be Ben. He can be the person I loved so madly & also the person who put me in danger. I wanted to ask him about that night again. But my locker room incident with him warned me not to talk to him about it and also if he's not Ben then I'll be just dragging Rex into my messy life. I didn't want another person to be Ben's next target. WhenIt was surprising when I reached my home without me showing him my way home because I swear I never told him my address before.

”How did you know my address?” I asked him being shocked and scared.

”I have followed you before,” He answered

smirking.

I smiled nervously trying to make myself understand that this is normal. But was it really!

He didn't seem embarrassed about it. It was like he followed girls before and this is nothing for him. I wouldn't be surprised though if he had a girlfriend before. Because if he is Ben there is no guarantee that he is speaking the truth.

The following day when I reached university,

”Bella didn't you sleep well last night?” A friendly pat behind my back made me realize I was going the opposite direction rather than going to my classroom.

”Swetha!” I was so relieved to see her. We didn't talk much these days. So many things happened I hardly had time to talk to her.

”You seem distracted you ok?” She asked sighing.

”I really need a hug Swetha!” I asked for a hug shamelessly. She was one the person I could relate to like I did with Jake and Helena.

”Oh that reminds me how is Jake?” I said while having a warm hug from her.

”Oh 'Mr Hot Shot' he is totally fine!” She said giving me a wink.

” I'm just asking don't make a different meaning out of this Swetha!” I said pouting.

”Talking about me huh girls? May I join?” I heard Jake's voice from behind.

”Jake?” I looked back feeling a warm sensation behind me.
