Chapter 9 She likes you.

I called Grace on the phone and told her about it.

"See? I told you he's crushing on you." She said.

"That's not it Grace. I think he wants to know when I'll be coming to school so that he would continue taunting me." I said, even though something tells me otherwise.

JEREMY'S P.O.V

It was Monday already and I was looking forward to seeing Kyla. I took my books from the locker and walked to class. I shook hands with the guys. Violet was already talking about how big her birthday party would be, only Crystal seemed to be interested in what she was saying. The three of us didn't find it interesting. We just kept quiet and act like we were listening. I could see Mitch was operating his phone under his desk while Brian was almost dozing off and I was getting impatient. I wonder when she would come.

Suddenly, she walked into the class majestically, I mean Kyla. All eyes were on her including Brian and Mitchell.

"Oh the bitch came back." Violet said to everyone's hearing. Kyla just walked to her seat. I had the urge to talk to her, but not in front of these people.

KYLA'S P.O.V

I took my seat and sighed deeply. Here we go again. They are sure going to taunt me. Well I'm prepared. I'm just going to ignore them and face my studies, besides I've got just one year to be in this school, so no stress.

The teachers came and taught till it was lunch break. I had so much to cover up for the days I wasn't at school. I bought snacks for Daisy and I. Then I went to the library to read. There were few people in the library and everywhere was calm. I brought out a textbook and started reading.

"Hello." Someone said. I dropped the textbook. It was the person I least expected. Jeremy. I stared at him and he smiled and sat opposite me. What does the jerk want?

JEREMY'S P.O.V

"What do you want?" She asked looking back at her book.

"I want to talk." I said and she scoffed.

"I'm not interested. As you can see, I'm busy so get lost." She said.

"Then I will wait." I said and she rolled her eyes. Wait a minute.. has she been this beautiful? She's got small white eyes, a cute nose and slightly pink lips. Her hair was curly brown and really long.

"Will you stop staring at me?" She asked.

"It's really kinda hard to do that." I said and she arched an eyebrow. "Yeah and don't get me wrong because the reason is that you are so ugly." I said and she frowned and dropped her book.

"What do you want?" She asked.

"Finally! I got your attention." I said and smirked. "So Kyle..." She interrupted.

"It's Kyla, not Kyle." she said. I think I'm going to enjoy calling her Kyle.

"So Kyle.. I talked to sister and asked about your health." I said.

"Yeah, the health you ruined." She said and rolled her eyes again.

"Just like your sister." I said.

"I hope you didn't hurt her." She said and I gasped.

"What do you think of me? The devil?" I asked.

"Well, you are not far from it, alright." She muttered. I just ignored that.

"So how is your leg." I asked.

"I walked all the way here, duh." She said.

"Just a simple 'fine, thank you' would have been nice." I said.

"Jerk." She said.

"What did you just call me?" I asked.

"A jerk." she repeated. Why isn't she afraid of me after everything? She's really daring. I like it.

KYLA'S P.O.V

"Well, I'm going to leave you to do whatever it is you are doing." he said.

"It's called reading, dumb ass." I said.

"Whatever.. KYLE." He stressed the name with a smirk and stood up.

"I'm Kyla!" I yelled at him and everyone turned to me.

"Keep it down over there." The librarian said and the jerk giggled mockingly and left. He's such a big fool. I continued my reading.

Soon, school closed. I took my bag and went out. Mum was the one who came to pick us up. We drove home and I went to my room and freshen up. Mum came in.

"Kyla." She called.

"Yes Mum." I answered.

"Tomorrow is Daisy's birthday." She said with a smile.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." I said.

"We have to get her a cake." She said.

"Yeah, I'll do that." I said.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah I'm sure." I said.

"Alright. Dont remind her about it. We are going to surprise her tomorrow." She said and I nodded. "Get dressed so you'll go and come back on time." She said and left. I went to my closet and wore a jean trouser and a blue top. I took my phone and went downstairs.

"Kyla where are you going?" Daisy asked.

"Baby, Kyla has to go get something for me." Mum said.

"Can I go with her?" She asked.

"No Daisy. I'll take you along next time." I said.

"Okay." She said sadly.

"Bye mum." I said.

"Bye, take care." Mum said I went outside. The driver was already waiting for me. I got into the car and he started driving. I really wanted to come out of the house. I had always stayed in the house ever since we got here and I'm glad mom isn't the type that locks me in. I looked out through the window.

Soon we got to the cake store. I alighted from the car and went in. I glanced at the beautiful cakes, hoping to see the one Daisy would love. It has to be chocolate because she loves chocolate a lot.

"So we meet again." A familiar voice said. I turned to see the jerk. He was on a red pullover and a black trouser. He looked cute on mufti. Of course I had seen him and mufti at the mall but I never noticed how...gosh Kyla, what are you thinking about.

"What are you doing here?" I asked and he looked at me with creased brows.

"It's a cake store, what do you think I'm doing here?" He asked. That's true, what was I thinking when I asked that? I turned to the cakes.

"It's your birthday?" I found myself asking. He came beside me looking at the cakes too.

"No, it's Violet's birthday tomorrow." He said.

"Oh really? That's nice." I said.

"So who are you getting a cake for? Your boyfriend?" He asked and I look at him.

"Seriously?" I asked and he laughed.

"Who is it for then?" He asked.

"Daisy, her birthday is also tomorrow." I said and turned to the cake. Why am I even talking to him.

"Oh, the boss lady." He said. The rain suddenly started falling. Oh no, I didn't bring a jacket.
