TEENS HEARTS
Teens Hearts – Episode -16
Alexandra’s POV
I was awed that the punk didn’t try to pick on me in class.
Seriously, I thought he was gonna pull my wrist, threaten me or drag me up to that dreadful balcony..
But he just sat on his seat, kept a straight face.
But not missing to yell unnecessarily at the guy at his front.
He never looked at my direction.
I wondered why. But sure, I like it.
I was happy I won him even though I didn’t win by my own ability but I just felt like I did it.
Ms Ashley isn’t getting fired and Lili woud be so excited when I let her know.
Teachings went on smoothly and I was just too excited about it.
Hahaha.
…………………………………………
At lunch, I met with Steph and we sat on the long black bench beside the Cafe after we bought Pizza and drinks and I was so elated to tell her about the bitch’s failure to fire Ms Ashley.
“That serves the arrogant brat right.” She said after letting out quite a long laughter.
I laughed as well.
“He hasn’t tried to pick on me since then. Im just so suprised and excited.” I said.
She chuckled.
“Oh, he can’t dear. He must be feeling so ashamed now. Ohhh poor little brat” She said and laughed.
“Aww I’ll call Lili right away. She would be sooo happy to hear it.” I said.
“Really? Does Lili know about this?” She asked.
I paused.
Oh Steph isn’t aware.
“Yeah. Lili and Ms Ashley are friends.” I said.
She smiled.
I called Lili.
She picked up immediately.
“Hi Liliiii.” I spoke first. I was just too excited.
“Hi Alex dear. You’re good?” She asked.
“Yeah. Im fineee.” I said.
“Great. And Stephanie? Is she with you?” She asked.
I smiled at Steph.
“Oh. She’s good and here with me.” I said.
“Hi Lili!” Steph said.
“Sweet child.” Lili said.
“Guess what Lili?” I said, I couldn’t wait any longer to tell her.
“Oh, I can’t just guess right. Please tell me dear.” She said.
“Aw, I’ll tell you anyway.” I said.
“Oh yeahhh” She said.
“Ms Ashley isn’t getting fired.” I said.
“Oh my goodness. What a pleasant news. Im so happy. You are back to Jeremy’s front right” She said.
I laughed.
“Of course not Lili. His dad couldn’t accept to fire her. Im so excited Lili.” I said.
“Oh my! This is amazing.. Such a good news. Im overwhelmed.” She said.
“Yes! Lili.” I said.
“Have Jeremy disturbed or picked on you since then?” She asked.
“Nop.” I said.
“Oh thats very good. Im happy dear.” She said.
“Alright Lili. Take care of yourself. Bye. See ya soon. Love youuu..” I said.
“Love you too dear. Bye” She said.
“Bye Lili” Steph said.
“Oh bye Steph dear.” Lili said.
I dropped the call, and turned to Steph with a smile.
“Great Aunt. Wishing I had one like ya.” She said.
Ohhh dear friend.
I don’t care about what she said to me yesterday.
I hugged her.
“Aw Alex. why hugging me?” She asked.
“Cos you are the best friend to me.” I said.
Just then, I saw Chris. He was behind us though far. So Steph didn’t see him but I did due to the way I hugged her.
I smiled at him and he smiled as well.
I really like this guy.
I wish Steph could see how cool and nice he seem to be.
I recalled he had something to tell me.
I withdrew our hug as Steph went for the pizza in her hand.
I felt like waving at him but recalling Steph words to me yesterday, I held back the wave.
And after he stared for a while, with his hands in his pockets.
Why do they love having their hands in their pockets.
Him, Jeremy.
He walked away.
I looked at Steph.
She was watching the table-tennis girls down at the tennis court.
I watched too.

Chris POV
As I walked out after smiling at Alex and wishing Steph could look at me, I headed to the school Love garden.
I was sure that is where Jeremy would be..
And yeah, He was right there, sitting down and was cutting flowers into pieces and throwing on the lawn field.
I know he’s enraged.
I just hope he don’t hurt Alex for standing him.
I have to do something.
I walked and sat beside him.
He didn’t look up. He just kept throwing the flower petals.
I watched as each falls on the smooth grass and a little while, breezr sweeps it away.
“That snail..” J said as he threw the next flower petal.
“Im gonna teach her something interesting. Trust me.” He said throwing the next flower petal.
“And my fucking dad? I fucking hate him now.” He said as the next flower followed.
“You can’t hate your dad cos of that.” I said.
“He fucking didn’t listen to me. I wanted that teacher fired. I wanted to show that snail who I am. But damn! The old man fucked me up.” He said.
“Ms Ashley didn’t deserve to be fired, Believe me dude, she’s been a great worker here.” I said.
“But I don’t fucking care. She refused to do what I want!” He said, throwing the whole flowers left on the seat away in rage.
I kept quiet.
“Im so fucking gonna deal with her.” He said.
I looked at him.
His face spoke of fury.
“Alex don’t deserve to be dealt with J, just let her be.” I said.
“She’s gonna regret ever getting her damn ass here.” He said.
“J, don’t hurt Alex.” I said.
He looked at me.
“Do you fucking wanna side her huh?” He barked.
I turned my eyes back to the littered flower petals on the grass.
“No J but don’t hurt her. She’s cool.” I said.
“Great. Then just keep an eyes watch. I just hope you can save her.” He said.
What?
“What did you plan to do to her?” I asked.
He smiled.
“You gonna see.” He said.
“You have to call off this plan. Steph is Alex friend for fucking sake!” I said.
“I don’t give a damn about that.”
He said with a smile.
“Oh Damn!” I said. Got up and walked away..
I have to save Alex.
………………………………………
It seem Jeremy is planning something bad for Alex and Chris said he have to save her.
Aww, Alex has entered!
Well let’s continue
……………………………………………
Alexandra’s POV
The rest of the class was just that way…
He just kept a straight face.
He never tried glancing at me.
He kept his gaze at the front all through the rest of the classes.
I was happy.
The bitch had finally learn not to disturb me.
……………………
School got over and I went for my bag in my locker.
As I grabbed my bag and was about to close back my locker, I felt a hand touch me.
Who?
I turned.
Chris.
“Hi Chris.” I said, letting out a smile
“You are about to go?” He asked.
“Yeah?” I said.
“Come with me.” He said.
Huh?
“To where? why?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
“So we could talk about something.” He said.
He was talking with haste.
“Okay.” I said..
He stared ahead and I turned my neck, follwing his eyes.
I saw them.
The devils..
They were up to ten, coming slowly towards us with fierce eyes.
Why?
Chris grabbed my hand and pulled me.
“Come with me please.” He said and pulled me with him as we began walking swiftly through another hallway that I know not where it would lead to.
The devils followed.
I got so scared.
“Why are they following us?” I asked.
“To gang up and beat you.” He said as we turned swifted into another small hallway.
“Beat me? Why?” I asked.
“I’ll tell you when you’re safe.” He said and began running now, I ran as well cos he held me and he was pulling me along.
We ran through hallways and finally, We arrived at the back of the school.
And a red car was parked.
He rushed to his car and opened the front door.
“Get in.” He said.
I stood as I remembered Steph.
“Steph would be worried about me.” I said.
“Its one of the reasons you have a phone hun.” He said.
Wow. Hun!
“Just get in before they get here. You can call Stephanie.” He said.
I got in.
He did same at the driver’s seat and just as he ignitated the car engine, The devils rushed out.
Chris made a speed U turn and sped off.
“I’ll take you to your house. Just give directions.” He said.
I stared at him for awhile before dialling Steph’s line.
She picked up.
“Alex, where are you? I’ve searched everywhere for you.” She asked.
“Im sorry Steph, something came up and Chris is driving me home.” I said.
“Chris?” She asked.
Her tone was loud.
“Yes he saved me from those devils.” I said.
“Be safe. Bye.” She said in an awkward low tone manner and dropped the call.
I looked at Chris.
Why did he save me?
Why’s he being this nice to me?
“Jeremy told them to?” I asked him.
“Yeah.” He said.
“Why?” I asked.
“Cos he does that whenever he’s so much annoyed.” He said.
“Have he donne that to anyone. Ganging up and beating the person?” I asked.
He nodded.
“Many.” He said.
“Girls or boys?” I asked.
“Both.” He said.
I stared at him.
“And you do them with him?”
He ignored.
“You do right?” I asked again.
“Yeah I do.” He said.
“So why did you save me and why are you being nice too to me?” I said.
“I’ll tell you.” He said.
“Alright.”
“Its cos… cos of Steph.” He said.
Like a bombshell.
Steph?
“Steph?” I asked.
“Yeah.” He said.
Now, this is heading somewhere.
“Why cos of her?” I asked.
“Cos Im inlove Steph.” He said.
I blinked my eyes thrice.
“You inlove with Steph?” I asked, not believing it.
“Yeah. Im serious Alex.” He said.
I just couldn’t believe it as I stared at Chris.
“I love Steph but she think im a crazy bad guy cos im friends with J. You see, Jeremy and I had been friends from kid.” He said.
“Im sorry but I have to save you, help you, be nice to you so Steph can see some change in me and love me just the way my heart beats for her.” He said.
Wow. I couldn’t believe it.
“So you are being nice and friendly to me cos of Steph?” I asked.
“Yeah but apart from that, You’re cool.” He said.
“Cool? How?” I asked.
He smiled.
“You’re beautiful.” He said.
I just blushed.
Do I have to?
He loves Steph. And he’s just tryna use me to get her to like him.
Its sounds kinda hurting but I just like how nice he’s been.
And I felt like doing whatever I could to get Steph to like him.
“Does Steph know about your feelings?” I asked him.
“Yeah.” He said.
He looked so sad.
“Do you truely love Steph?” I asked.
He smiled.
“You think im lying to you?”
“I just wanna be sure about it.” I said.
“Yeah I do.”
I looked out the windscreen.
“Turn to this street. Thats my Aunt’s house over there.” I said and he turned to the left, into the street.

Steph’s POV
Alex in Chris car?
Seriously?
And what the heck would have come up for her to be in Chris car?
He saved her from the devils?
Why?
Then I saw Jeremy, his hands in his pockets.
He was walking down to his car and he entered and sped off.
I entered into mine as my driver drove off as well.
Jeremy’s POV
Chris saved that snail..
Arghh, I wanted to deal with the little thing.
My phone rang.
My dad.
Fuck him.
I hate him..………………………………………………
Chris #POV
I pulled to a stop at Alex house.
“Thank you. And thanks too for saving me.” She said with a smile.
I nodded.
“Alex.” I called as she reached for the door handle.
She turned.
“Yeah?”
“J wanna just revenge, but I’ll talk to him and he won’t trouble you again.” I said.
“Thanks.” She said.
“And I wanna beg for one thing.” I said.
“What’s that?” She asked.
“Steph. Can you help me make her understand that Im trying to change for her?” I said.
She smiled.
“I will make her understand.” She said.
“Thanks.” I said.
She smiled.
“Bye. Have a wonderful weekend.” I said.
“You too.”
“I’ll miss your black hair.” He said.
I laughed.
I don’t know what to reply so I just said bye to him and got down, closing the door.
He drove off.
I inhaled and turning towards the door, I saw Lili standing at the door.
I walked up to her.
She was smiling.
“Hi Lili.” I said with a smile.
“Welcome dear.” She said.
“That wasn’t Steph’s car. Who’s car is it?” She asked.
“Chris.” I said.
“Chris? Jeremy’s friend?” She asked.
“Yeah. He’s nice.” I said.
She smiled.
“What about Stephanie?” She asked.
“I spoke with her.” I said.
She nodded and we walked in.
