Chapter 62: Chapter 62

"Hey, Quinnel... Watch out!" Someone yelled and my eyes widened when I saw Quinnel ran in front of a moving bus.

With a gasp, I pulled to a halt unable to move any further. My heart was beating in my chest as the long bus passed by me.

When it had finished passing, I looked up to Quinnel, hopefully, to find him not standing on the opposite side of the road.

Another gasp escapes my lips when I find the place empty. I brought my hand up to my lips as I felt tears coming to my eyes.

"He's not dead, right?" I asked myself shaking my head.

"He obviously passed before the bus. The bus didn't hit him!" I mumbled and I shook my head again.

"His Mum... What do I tell his Mum? She helped me and this is what I repay her. Oh My God!" I muttered bending down.

"Let's not jump to conclusions... His body is not even... Oh no."

While my eyes was looking around, someone covered my eyes from behind. With an angry and sad expression, I stood up jerking the person's hand away.

I turned around with a glare to see the guy I thought he had died. I blinked before I pinched my cheeks.

"Ow, that hurts," I muttered to myself and he tilted his head at me watching me with amusement.

"Wait. He's alive. He didn't die!" I muttered to myself.

"Hey!" I yelled hitting his arm.

"Wow... You didn't catch me and what I get is a glare, a yell and a beating... That is not fair at all." He said shaking his head.

"Stop joking around, you idiot! I really thought you had... Never ever in your fucking god damned life ever! Do that again and scare the shit out of me! I thought I had killed you, you bastard!" I yelled glaring at him.

"Okay?" He asked and I sighed looking away.

"Stupid boy," I muttered cleaning my eyes.

"Woah... Were you crying cause of me?" He asked and I turned to glared at him.

"Like I would waste my precious tears on you!" I yelled back at him before stomping back to the others.

"Wait for me," He yelled and I didn't answer as I kept growling while walking faster. But not fast enough.

He pulled my hand and before I could comprehend what was happening, my nose was in his chest.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I whispered and he chuckled into my ears.

"You looked like you could use some hug from someone you care so much about," He replied and I rolled my eyes with a sniff.

"Who told you I care about you?" I mumbled into his chest.

"There. There. Stop crying." He mumbled patting my back.

"Stop patting my back. I'm not a child." I mumbled and he sighed.

"Sorry then," He replied with a low voice.

"What are you sorry for then?" I asked and he shook his head.

"For making you worry and thinking I'm dead... Even though that's pretty harsh." He said and I chuckled.

"My mind tends to go haywire when I'm too worried. I was already thinking of your Mum!" I exclaimed and he chuckled.

"No shit," He replied with a snort and I rolled my eyes.

"Coach said we can leave now. So stop your cuddling time and let's go," Zaire said walking towards us.

I tried to pull my body out of his hold but it only tightened more. Dude, let me go!

"Quin..." I called.

"Hm?"

"Let me go."

"Oh, right... Sorry... I was getting comfortable there," He muttered and let me go.

I nodded my head and walked to over to Ashley and Jake that were waiting for me.

"Ooh! Someone was being cuddly," she said wiggling her brows.

"He was just..."

"Just..." Jake joined in and I turned to him.

"You too?" I asked him and he scoffed.

"What, me too? Duh, of course... I ship you guys together. Hey, Ash... What do you think their ship name would be?"

"Quinnel... Navaeh... Quineah?" She asked and I face palmed myself walking ahead of them.

Then I remembered what I said I wanted to do.

"I'll be right back." I said making them move forward while they still continued discussing ship names. They didn't even look at me to ask where I was going!

I shook my head and found myself beside Zaire and Quinnel.

"Hey, Zaire... Could you give us Five Minutes?" I asked and he nodded without hesitation walking over to his sister and Jake.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, Zaire! Thank Goodness you're here! Ship name for Navaeh and Quinnel... Go!"

"Uhh, what are suggestions so far?" He asked obviously interested in the topic. I shook my head and turned to the guy who was looking at them with a smile.

"Don't you think we have cool friends?" He asked and I nodded my head without hesitation and then decided to introduce the reason why I was here.

"Yeah, Jake as well."

I noticed the slightest change in his jaw as it ticked before he looked down at me.

"What about him?" He asked with a frown and I sighed.

"What don't you like about the boy? I mean, he's fun... He's cool and he's hot... So you definitely can't say you don't like him because he's ugly," I said with a frown and he rolled his eyes before looking up but he kept his lips sealed.

"Oh, come on! Don't just be so lip tight over this! You're always talking if it's other matters not pertaining to Jake!" I exclaimed and he turned to me.

I saw a bit of anger in his eyes and I ignored it as I kept talking.

"And also, ever since the guy came here... You've been everything but friends to him! Gosh... I really don't like this enmity between you guys. And Jake doesn't even have a problem with you! You're the one acting all so high and mighty like you can't talk to him! Excuse me, is it because he's black?"

"Do not use that against me." He warned without evens looking at me and I scoffed.

"The heck are you trying to do? Scare me? Cause I'm everything but scared right now."

"You really are one to talk," He replied and I frowned at him.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked and he turned his head to me.

"I don't know. I wonder who was the one that was being all hostile to him on the first day of his school in Silva High! The one who hated his guts for no damned reason. So don't you lecture me about hating someone for no reason, Navaeh," He replied and I blinked at him before I looked down.

He called me Navaeh. He actually called me Navaeh.

"Wow." I breathed out and he sighed.

"Heaven..."

"My name is Freaking Navaeh! Navaeh. And fuck you, Quinnel."

"I-"

"You know what, save it. Forget about it. Forget I even came to meet you, and I'm sorry for even coming to meet you in the first place. If it's none of my business, I really think I should keep in my business and not poke my nose in other people's business that doesn't concern me. So I'm so sorry, Quinnel, for ever poking my nose in your freaking business." I spat and walked away from him burning in fury.

I weaved my way between people and finally made it to Ashley side.

"We decided on one perfect name!" She yelled enthusiastically before she paused on noticing the look on my face.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked pulling my chin slowly and softly to let me face her.

"Nothing." I muttered taking my chin from her as I glared at the back of the person in front of me.

"I thought she was with Quinnel." I heard Ashley say and Jake mumbled an agreeing grunt.

"Me too."

"She was with him. I left cause she asked me to. So what happened to the change of mood is what I'm baffled about." Zaire replied and I snorted though they couldn't hear it.

"Maybe you should go to Quinnel and ask him," Jake suggested and Zaire sighed.

"Quinnel won't talk. I know him. He is way too stubborn to answer me," He replied with a defeated voice.

"Then what the fuck exactly is going on?" Jake replied and I saw him move his hand up to rub his face.

"Woah! I just made eye contact with Quinnel. Damn, he looks like he's going to kill," Ashley whispered to the guys and I rolled my eyes with a scoff.

"If he wants to kill, let him kill then. It's not like it's any of your business," I said turning to the three of them with a cold gaze.

"What?" Ashley asked in a whisper.

Zaire looked back at Jake and he shrugged upon meeting with Zaire's eyes and then the three of them looked at me.

And then with a cold yet bitter laugh I said, "At least, that's what I was taught. Don't poke your nose in people's business. You'll later end up getting hurt." I said finally and turned my head away with a slight chuckle.
