💘Bella's p.o.v 💘
My dream school turned out to be my worst nightmare, from one disaster to another, and on my first day?!
I'm such a loser!!
Days passed, with me getting used to the ways of the school, with the help of Mia, she's been really helpful with her notes and introductions...my! She's weird too...
No offense Mia
Seriously, I now see the reason why Courtney, Raven and the rest call her a 'Weirdo'. But then everybody can be weird too...
Thanks to Mia, i'm now familiar with all the teachers in the school, i even picked a favorite...Mrs Joan Stewart, our P.E teacher, she was so kindhearted and really determined and dedicated to her work.
Of course, i also picked a least favorite, if i shouldn't say the teacher i hated...Miss Becca Hale, our English teacher....and the so called 'miss obvious' who sent me to detention on my first day. She was so mean and snobbish and evil and...and...ugh! Nobody likes her... The students gave her a nickname... 'Miss Tupperware'
Clearly, she's made out of plastic
*giggle*
And then there's the fat one.... Mr Valentino Eduardo, our Spanish teacher...he was a funny one, sadly, some students didn't take him serious coz he was always eating and telling us about food, half of the period he was supposed to teach.
The C3 Divas continued being the b-i-t-c-h-e-s they were....Raven? She's just so scary to talk about, and the bad boys...A4 or whatever they call themselves, continued being the jerks they were.
Its currently weekend, Saturday to be precise and i woke up to my ringtone blaring from my phone...
''Why..you...", i groaned, picking up my phone and answering it...
"Bells!! I'm currently at L.A, i just descended from the plane, aren't you gonna come pick me up?". Ashley's voice blared from the other end.
Good gracious!!
"Ash? You're back? Uh...." My voice trailed off.
"Yeah...i know you miss me...well hurry up, come to the airport, don't keep me waiting". She replied and hung up.
The nitwit!! Miss her? She wish...
"Ugh! Why do you have to torment my life and disturb my sleep?", i groaned, sitting upright as i stuffed my feet into a pair of cute bunny flip flops. What did she say again? Pick her up?
I scoffed and went back to the comfort of my blanket....
My phone rang again...."She can be really frustrating!", I snapped and answered the call....
"Ashley, its too early! Get a cab and find your way!", I yelled.
"Um....oookay?" The voice at the other end replied, confused....definitely not Ashley's, plus the voice was a male's.
"Good morning my Belle", I quickly recognized the voice....
"What do you want?", I asked, grumbling.
"It wouldn't hurt if you would've returned my greetings".
"It wouldn't hurt if you would just let me enjoy my peaceful sleep". I replied.
"Please, we need to talk....i'm begging you".
"What's there to talk about?"
"Just hear me out for once....please".
"Fine! Just this once,....time and location?", I murmured, rolling my eyes...
He seemed to sigh deeply, before he replied...."Summer ville's garden? Please? 1pm".
"You want us to talk at school? Well....whatever, i'll be there". I said and hung up.
I can't go back to sleep because of two fish heads!!
I dragged my feet lazily to the bathroom to brush my teeth....a knock was heard on the door....
"Breakfast's served", Rosita announced from outside.
"Coming...." I replied as i rinsed my mouth and went out of the room....
I stretched and yawned, then bumped into something....or rather, someone. I opened my eyes.....
"Are you blind or something?" A pissed off voice asked and i looked up at the face....
Demon king..
"Uh...I'm sorry, I...I...", how would i even explain that my eyes were closed as i was rubbing the sleep off 'em. I just ended up stuttering.
"Save it! Go get some glasses, i think you have eye problem", he said with a scorn, then scoffed....
"What a nuisance", he murmured more to himself, but i heard him..
"You....", I bit my lower lip in anger as i pointed my index finger at him, forcing back the words i wanted to say.
He gave me a mocking look and headed downstairs....I followed suit.
"Good morning Bella!!", Annie's chirp reached my ears...
"Morning pixie", I waved at her as she giggled at the nickname i gave her.
"Mom's not in, we'll have breakfast without her", she said. I nodded....
We sat down, Demon king, pixie fairy and I , eating our breakfast of toast bread and tea....coffee for demon king.
The doorbell rang suddenly, Annie looked up from her seat...
"Mom's back!!", she beamed....

"Can't you do anything right?!", a chirpy, slightly pissed voice asked from the door....
That isn't Mrs Sophie....
"I'm sorry ma'am", I heard Rosita's apology.... Who's that??
"Out of my way, and take my bag upstairs, you filthy creature".
Huh?!
"Who's in, by the way? I'm so tired and hungry, where's principal Sophie and Aid...", she stopped in her tracks when she approached the dining, I looked up to see the lousy visitor...
"You?!", we chorused.
"No....", i heard Annie whisper.
"And, what are you doing here?", Courtney, the lousy visitor i least expected to see asked.
"This isn't your house, you have no right to ask me that", i replied, staring at her in distaste.
What the heck is she doing here?!
"Oh....i see", she faked a smile, then diverted her attention to the demon king.
"Oh Aiden, how are you?", she asked, rushing to his side quickly, she sat down and helped herself to his meal.
"What're you doing here?" He asked, anger visible on his face.
"Uh...I....principal Sophie invited me over", she replied, twirling her hair round her index finger as she smiled at him...
He scoffed and stood up, then went upstairs....yeah! I totally understand that, even i, have lost my appetite. Before i could stand up, Annie grabbed my hand and pulled...
"Let's go do some gardening", she said and scowled at Courtney.
Oh! She doesn't like her too...
We left a fuming Courtney at the dining who was literally throwing dagger glares at me.
She's such a killjoy!
🍉🍓🍅🍒🍎🍏🥑🍄🥕🌽🌶🍑🍊🥭
Apparently, Courtney's mother and Aiden's mother were also good friends, just like my mom and Aiden's...and their kids, Aiden and Courtney used to be childhood friends.
Uh...doesn't seem like it....
Coz literally, the demon king seem to not want to breathe the same air she's breathing, more like, doesn't want her anywhere around him and from the look of things, I feel like she's forcing herself on him which irritates him.
Oookay, let's get past that
"So you're telling me....those two were close friends?", I asked Annie who was telling me their story, coz i was wondering why Courtney showed up.
"Yuppie!", she replied putting more impact on the 'p'.
Wow!
"They became boyfriend and girlfriend, and they broke up", she added.
Wait! What? Their story just keep getting interesting.
"You're kidding right? Those two dated?", I asked.
"Yes, and I'm glad they broke up", she sighed in relief.
"Oh my God! This is.....wow! They dated...what are the odds?", I giggled the paused.
"How do you know so much?", I eyed Annie, she gave me a bunny smile.
"Aren't you too little for that?", I teased...
"What are the odds?", she replied...
"You little....", I rumpled her hair playfully and she giggled........

"Annie, come watch T.V with me", a voice popped out of nowhere and i turned to look at the owner...
Eishhhh!
"No thanks, I'm fine", Annie replied, holding my hand like she was gonna be snatched.
I smirked at the raging eyes of Courtney who stood with clenched fists.
"You're gonna get dirt all over your body if you do the gardening, that's the work of the gardener...where's he by the way?", Courtney asked, folding her arms.
"What do you care? Well i don't know what your problem is, i'm guessing its hard to pronounce", Annie spat out.
My eyes widened as i looked at her and whipped my head back to Courtney...
"Why you little....", she pursed her lips as she glowered at Annie..
"Don't be such a brat and...."
"Save your breath, you'll prolly need it to blow up your next date". Annie interrupted her, I draped my hand across her mouth to prevent her from saying more...
How is this girl a six-year-old?!
"You....you! Arrrgh!", Courtney growled and stormed back into the house. I stifled a laughter.
"I hate her", Annie murmured.

"You have eyes on my Aiden right bulldog?" Courtney asked, glaring at me as she folded her arms. She was currently blocking my way, just above the stairs, at the hallway.
I scoffed....what was she thinking? She must be nuts.
"You left your house to come after my Aiden, how pathetic of you....I see, you must be in need of financial assistance, that's why you're chasing my boyfriend like the bulldog you are!", she spat.
Financial assistance? Boyfriend?
I scoffed again...."Boyfriend?", that was the first word that came out of my mouth.
"I thought you guys broke up?".
"We didn't...whatever, its none of your business, that hasn't answered my question to why you're here", she scowled.
"Why are you here?", i asked in return....
"Well...I...I...I came for a visit, isn't it natural for a girlfriend to visit her boyfriend?", she replied, twirling her golden hair round her index finger.
"Same!", I said curtly and she gasped, covering her mouth....
"Except for the girlfriend, boyfriend part", I added. "Would you just step out of my way?".
"No! You step out of 'My' way", she retorted and pushed me....
I lost my balance and fell backwards.....
This is the end of me...
I won't survive that great flight of stairs....
I prepared my self for the painful impact but then I landed on something else...
Those felt like strong arms...opening my eyes, my gaze locked with my savior's.....the demon king's....
He stared at me confused. I had an odd feeling he was gonna let go again as he had done before.
"Do you want to die?", he asked sternly. I shook my head negatively in a quick way as my heart raced.... Courtney almost killed me..
I slowly looked up at her and saw that she was covering her mouth and her eyes were widened in shock....
"Aiden...I...I..it was an accident", she said, pouting.
"Avoid Jezebel",he told me and scooped me up, bridal style, ascending the stairs and heading to my room, but I didn't miss the death glare he gave Courtney....
He isn't really a jerk after all....he saved me...
He placed me on my bed, whilst I got to stare at his face. For some reason, my heart fluttered when he looked at my face....I looked elsewhere, not wanting to have eye contact with him, in this awkward situation....
"Tha...", I wanted to appreciate him, but he sighed deeply interrupting me. Then he stared at his T-shirt..
"Sh*t's creased", he cursed under his breath, but i heard him....
Eishhhh!
"Don't get the wrong idea kitty, seriously you're annoying and i would really prefer you dying, but...what'll happen if Mrs Sophie comes back and finds out her dear guest is dead? She'll have a heart break yunno and i really care about Mrs Sophie...so don't get it twisted". He smirked and left, dusting his clothes.
"Ugh! Just for few minutes i really thought you were good! You're actually a real jerk!", I yelled out.
Seriously? Annoying? Who's more annoying? Me? Or him? Ugh! Kitty? Who's he calling a kitty?!!!
I scoffed and sat upright...
"That son of a *", I pursed my lips and sighed deeply....
No offense Mrs Sophie...
Thanks for always using that swear word Ashley...I finally get to use it on someone worthy.
