Friends Only?

Chapter 16 "New Bounds"

*Nef's outfit *


Nef's pov

Well, as always the weekend passed by so quickly that I didn't realise it. At Saturday the girls and I got out for dinner and at Sunday evening we went to the cinema with the boys in order to watch a full-of-action film called "The Town of bones". (It's much better than it sounds! )

Well, at the cinema we came across Jeff with a young lady standing next to him. The truth is I got jealous cause I thought Jeff was the best option to get over Rich and I thought he really liked me too. But as it seemed, he didn't.

It's Monday! That means dance lessons! I went to my class with Vic as quickly as possible because Miss Cindy doesn't like delaying students and we would be one of them if we wouldn't hurry up. The dance lessons were interesting because Miss Mark taught us some new "steps" that we could add to our final choreography for the competition. I am not nervous yet, but I think that I have to start the final choreography. My performance is becoming better and better according to Miss Cindy's words and I am so happy about that. Having Miss Cindy praised me isn't the easiest thing as she is not the kind of person awarding her students. Actually she is the exact opposite.

I tried not to meet Jeff or something because I thought that he truely liked me but seeing him at the cinema with that girl made me wrong. However, my efforts didn't paid off as Jeff found me at the dining room. For a moment, I forgot that he was eating lunch with us. He sat next to me just eating and talking with my friends. I didn't want even to look at him so I was looking at my dish or I was talking with Rich and girls about our today's plans. I didn't want to see Jeff's face. For some reason I was feeling betrayed but this wasn't his fault. However, that feeling was weird. why I was feeling that? That feeling reminded me the one I felt when I watched Rich kissing other girls and again that wasn't Rich's fault. But that couldn't be true. Did I like Jeff?

I heard Rich pausing his voice and watching over my side.

"Are you okay Nef?" He asked me.

"Yes Rich. I am just thinking about the competition. I have to start with my Final choreography."

"You will and you are going to amaze everyone. I can promise that. " He encouraged me smiling. I missed that smile. That smile reminded me why I want him so much for so much time.

"Thank you. You still can't cancel your plans in order to go out today?" I asked him. I wanted some time with him. I always want to.

"I am afraid so. I have football training and after that an appointment to my dentist."

" Again? What's that appointment for?" I said laughing. Rich hates doctors especially dentists and despite that, his mum made him go there regularly. Dentists irritated him. Sometimes he cried as well before the appointment. That may be the only drawback I guess. And that's not even a disadvantage.

"Who knows? Nickie (her mum) drive me for that meeting with my lovely doctor. " he said sarcastically. " I'll see you at the parking lot. I have to go to my lesson." He said looking his watch.

I was alone at the corridors going through my class when I bumped at the worst person that I could meet. Nicole!

"Ohh... Nefeli... its been a year since I saw you." She said with that fake, soft and innocent voice. You may wonder why she spoke to me or even talked to me. Well, the truth is we didn't like each other. I hate her for being more specific. However, she were always the girl that played her role pretty good. She was the one hiding her hate from Rich and me. That made her more irritating.

"What do you want Nicole? I thought we were done with those fake conversation..." We used to talk like we were friends at past due to Rich but now I couldn't see the reason.
