Zahra Bello's POV

Honestly, I still don't get why this is happening to me. I've been the highlight of the Archtattler's story for the first time and everyone can't seem to take their eyes off me.

Before school hours, during school hours and even after school hours. And worse, the guy I broke my rules for and got intertwined with didn't spare me a sight even though he walked into my class. And the height of it all?

He hugged a girl in front of me.

He didn't care about me at all. He ignored me all day and didn't even ask if I was okay. He went about this day as if something isn't going on. As if everything is okay when nothing is.

Am I being too overdramatic about the issue? Am I getting too attached? Am I being a petty jealous girl? Or am I just in like with someone?

If this is how tiring and annoying it is liking someone, why do people fall in love? Is it not meant to be thrilling and full of cheerful and blissful moments?

"Unrequited love is one of the worst things that can ever happen to you." Itunu said as soon as she closed the novel she was reading and placed it on the table.

"I know right. Been there." Chiamaka agreed with Itunu and then turned to me.

Itunu invited me to the Artist Hub as if I haven't gotten enough entanglements with Art students. I'm sure she and Chi are burning with curiosity. They can't wait to know what is going on and why I will break the rules we created.

I stared back at Chiamaka and she groaned out of frustration. She has been doing that for a while now.

"Come on Zahra. Say something." She said.

Well what am I supposed to say? I'm sorry I broke our rules and I think I for the first time in my entire life like someone? My butt has been opened for all to see because of that post. Anger can not be up to par with what I feel about that Archtattler but it still doesn't compare to the anger of how Jaiye ignored me all day and hugged a girl right in front of me.

What was that supposed to mean?

"I'm sorry." I said and stared at my nails.

Itunu sighed and stood up. She walked to one of the shelves and grabbed a book before walking towards me.

"You know I don't really care about whatever the archtattler wrote about but there are some things I just don't understand." She said and opened the book.

"Some things? I don't understand anything." Chiamaka said, her voice a little bit high.

"It sounded as if I was reading about the Zahra I do not know. The Zahra I know won't peep at a couple in the Love garden. The Zahra I know won't step a foot on the football field. The Zahra I know won't talk to a guy not to talk of wearing his jersey and the Zahra I know won't lie to her friends." She ranted.
