Chapter 3 3

Today is the 14th of February, it's Valentine's Day. A day full of love where all couple have been waiting for this days, I mean not only couples but people who wants to confess their feelings too.

Today, I woke up at 2 in the morning to make a chocolate. I decided to make it at dawn so my dad won't ask questions.

"Ms. North, you're still awake?" My maid asked.

"Yes, I want to make chocolate." I smiled and felt sorry. I bet she woke up because she heard me being so loud in the kitchen. She decided to help me and when it's done, I took a quick sleep before waking up again to go to school.

"Here you go.." My maid gave me the chocolate as I arrived downstairs. I thanked her and put it jn my bag. Yesterday, I bought small cheese cake too and I can't wait to give it to Christian.

Today will be a great day.

My driver drove me to school and I got out a block away. I walked to school and guess what? They decorated the school with pink ballons and heart stickers all over the hallway.

I wrote a letter for Christian too, I know it's cheesy but it's okay.

"Hailey!" I turned to see Lia running towards me. She hugged me.

"Happy Valentines day!" She squealed.

"Happy Valentines day too, Lia!" I squealed. I grabbed a chocolate box for her and she thanked me. She gave me a brownie with my name on it.

"Thankyou!"

"Thank you to you too! Let's go.." She grabbed my hand and then I saw Christian standing in front of his locker. I gestured Lia to wait and I made my way to him. I grabbed his chocolate, the cheesecake and the letter. I poked his shoulder and he turned to me.

"Happy Valentine's day, Christian Russo." I smiled as I put all of the things I want to give him right in front of him.

"For you.." I said and he shook his head.

"I don't want it." He said and I sighed.

"Take it.." I begged.

"I said.. I don't want it." He brushed his hand making all of them fall to the ground. I looked down and sighed.

"Told you, don't ruin my day today." He hissed loud enough for everyone in the hallway to hear. His friends laughed at me and tears started to fill my eyes.

"You need to stop bugging me! You're just a dumb girl that begs for love! Pathetic!" He said coldly and my heart slowly turned cold. Someone picked up all the chocolates and cake from the floor and I turned to see Dean.

"This is how you treat girls?" Dean looked at Christian straight into his eyes and Dean put his arm around my shoulder.

"What a loser, come on Hailey!" He said and he dragged me out from the crowd.

"Dean.. you're here." I said still speechless.

"Hailey, you should have just give it to me! Since you already made it, I'll eat it.." He smiled and I stopped.

"No, I'll make you a new one. I'll give you tomorrow, don't eat this.." I said as I grabbed the chocolates and the cake. Dean patted my head and smiled.

"Hailey!" Lia stopped in front of me. When I saw her, tears fell down from my eyes.

"Shoot!" Lia said as she pulled me into a hug.

"You're in 2B right?" Dean asked.

"Yes, I'm Lia. Hailey's bestfriend." She said as she patted my back.

"Dean." He said.

"Let's go to class.." Lia said and she brought me to class along with Dean. Dean sat beside me and when people saw Dean, they're so confused but Dean only smiled to them. I knew immediately that Dean will be as popular as Christian but his aura is not as cold as Chris'.

The teacher walked in and it's time to start the class. Dean kept looking at me and asking if I'm okay. Dean was called by the principal to tour him around and Lia turned to me.

"He's nice.. and cute."

"He is." I nodded.

"You knew him.. before?"

"We bumped into each other last week and he told me he will transfer here." I said and Lia nodded. After 2 classes, Dean came back with a schedule in his hands and some new books.

"Let's have lunch together." He said as the bell rang.

"Okay!" I said and the three of us walked to the cafeteria. There's girls asking his name and wanting to know his phone number. Dean politely declined and he grabbed my hand.

"I need some help with school stuff since I'm not used to this. Will you help me?" Dean asked me as we grabbed our trays.

"Sure, why not."

"Thankyou. Now I have to see my cousin, give me a second." He said and I stopped him.

"You need to order your food.."

"Can you order it for me? I trust you." He smiled and I nodded.

"Who's your cousin?" Lia asked.

"Gio." My eyes widen and he chuckled seeing my expression. He excused himself and I ordered him some food. We walked to our usual seat and walked past Dean and Gio who are currently talking near Christian's table. I turned to Christian and he's already glaring at me.

"Let me.." Dean said making me turn to him.

"What did you order me?" He asked.

"Fish and chips." I said as we sat down.

"Thank you." Dean patted my head and I nodded. After lunch, I walked back without Lia and Dean since I wanted to go to the toilet and to Christian's locker. I wanted to slip my letter to him.

After going to the toilet, I walked to Christian's locker and slipped my letter.

"Well well well.." I turned around to see Calista and her minions.

"What?" I asked.

"Do you think you still can get his attention? He fed up with you already." She said in her bitchy tone.

"Stay away from him.. and Dean too. You don't get to hang out with two, choose one." Calista said coldly.

"Like I'll hangout with you." I turned to see Dean and he looked at Calista coldly. She immediately walked away.

"Thanks." I sighed.

"Don't worry, I got you." He smiled.

"Hailey, you need to learn how to stand up for yourself." He said and I nodded.

"I'm working on it."

"It's okay, as long as you have me, you'll be fine."
