Bella head towards where they're going, carefully stepping along the craggy rocks. When suddenly, one of the rock she step into knocks her off balance. She trip on a rocky out crop and stumble toward the ground, when someone steps in to catch her.
...
"I don't know if that's a good thing, though."Bella replies.
'Easily said but It's going to be complicated now. It's better not knowing.'she thought. *********************** The guys been calling Bella to check up on her. She has an issue with them. She's confused. And she wanted them to know how upset she is, with herself and with them. She wanted and needed space, she needed time to think. So she's avoiding them all. Ezra included. They left her messages and several missed calls on her cellphone. They've also called home thrice. My personal help has been very vague to where she is. They'll know she's covering for her. She know, she'll need to face them at some point, especially now that the weekend is over.
She wakes up on the ray of sun, slanting through the window and falling across her face.
'oh, my eyes.' She rubbed them gently. Covering her eyes from the rays of the sun. She sigh when she remembers what day it is. 'Oh, it's Monday. It's inevitable to see them now, i can't hide from them forever.' She said to herself.
She ready herself to school. Stretched her arms and legs before marching to the bathroom. She hit the shower, hoping her worries will also be wash away. As she finishes in the shower, she stepped out and wrapped herself on the towel, went straight back to her room. She blow dry her hair and look for something to wear in her closet. She chose to wear something that she rarely wears. For her to be invisible, if that's possible. She wears her high waisted ripped jeans and sleeveless hanging shirt, it falls just above the hem line of her jeans. She look herself in the mirror, it's perfect. But they can still recognize her. And it's a little revealing for school outfit. if she tries to reach for something, her flawlessly delectable white skin will be revealed. She paired it with a hoody jacket to be inconspicuous. And not attract too much attention. The more boyish she look, perhaps the safer she'll be from her friends sight.
She arrive at the school early. She went to the cafe. She put her hoodie on, and take her iPhone and plug her headphones in. There's nothing like music to take off her mind from her dilemma with her friends. She slipped it into the side pocket of her hoodie. As she enters the café, she went straight the counter and place her order. As she turns, she freezes for a moment, when she saw Rain in front of her, her face flush then she instantly gather herself. 'Holy crap, it's him' she tells herself.

"Oh my goodness! Bella!"Rain sounded desperate. "Where have you been this weekend? We've been trying to contact you. Why haven't you returned my calls?"Rain asked non stop. At the same time he look relieved to see her.
she pull the headphones out of her ear and she faces Rain.
"Look Rain, now's not a good time."Bella answered with a straight face.
"Okay, I understand."sadness is written all over Rain's face . "I'll leave you alone."
"Thank you.". She plug in her headphones in again. ************************** Time flies by so quickly, Bella is relieved that her class for today is done and it's time to go home. Good thing, none of her friends have come up and bothered her again. She walk through the parking lot where she parks her car. As she gets closer, she notice someone standing behind her car. When she takes a good look who it is, she recognize it's Ali. Bella sigh. She thought she made it clear that she can't talk right now. Ali interrupt her trail of thoughts.
"Bella, can we talk?" Ali asked while his hands are behind his back.
"I'm sorry. I can't right now, Ali."Bella said to avoid any confrontation. She's not ready to talk yet.
"Just for a second, please Bella?"Ali said pleading.
"Ali..." Bella sigh then nod. Giving in to Ali's request.
Bella motioned Ali to get in her car. As She opened her car and got in the drivers seat, Ali went on to seat on the passengers side.
Ali clears his throat before he started talking."Bella, don't be mad at us."
"I'm not mad, Ali... To be honest, I don't know how to respond.. I have no idea that they have feelings for me. I know I might be, like, insensitive to all of you right now, or whatever, but you should have known how that'd will make me feel?"Bella admitted.
"I know, I... We just, don't know how to tell you how we feel."
"You too?"
"Yes. I'm sorry if it comes as a shocked to you. But yes, I like you too... A lot. We all do, we didn't plan on this to happen. You're not just beautiful, caring, thoughtful and sweet. You also have a good heart. I can go on and on on the reason why we like you. A day will not cover it."
"I don't know what to say Ali, really!"Bella felt her blood literally went up her face.
"Bella, we like you, but we are not gonna jeopardize our friendship with you. If it's even possible toturn back time, will probably make that happen. Or if only we can pretend that Friday night didn't happen but sadly, it did happen and I apologize for their behavior." Ali said to Bella pleading.
"I love being friends with you guys! Your all like family to me. It's just.. I don't feel like that towards any of you?!"
"I see." Ali sighed heavily, sadly.
Bella felt guilty for hurting Ali on her revelation, but it's the truth. He needs to know that she don't have any romantic feelings towards any of them. She doesn't wanna give them false hopes.
"Ali, I love you, you mean so much to me. You're like the brother I never had. That's not going to change. You know that."
"Can you give us another shot? We might change how you feel? There might be a possibility that you'll like us?"
"No. I can't."Bella said shaking her head."You know me, Ali. We've been friends since I was freshman here. I haven't had a relationship. I haven't fallen in love yet. So I wouldn't know how that feels. I know that I am hurting you right now for turning you down, but I don't feel the connection. I wanna feel the spark they're talking about when your in love. I would like to feel that immediate connection the moment I met the one-- the connection so strong that I am drawn to him, in a way I have never experienced before."Bella said dreamily.
"It seems like your describing the connection you have with someone."
