His smile turned to a chuckle after I said his name. "Yeah Kyla it's me. Or you have forgotten me already?" he faked cried like he was hurt.

I giggled at his sarcasm. "How can I forget Deveon Moore, the most wanted boy in this school?" I said in a whisper, OH NO DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD? "uhhh... I mean I'm just surprised to see you, you know."

Why would you? You go to the same school as him.

Damnit. That was lame wasn't it?

I share Maths and science class with him. Honestly I was a little bit disappointed he didn't visit or at least text me while I was mourning my parents especially since we're usually teamed up for projects so I thought we had become at least friends but then I think I was wrong. Almost everyone else in my class did come though.

"Uhh I'm sorry to interrupt your weird reunion but I'll give you two some space." Hannah stood up and left to take a seat next to Alec and that was not a very good idea. I could hear them whisper argue at each other already and I giggled.

"So how are you doing princess?" This must be what this boy calls all the girls he sleeps with. Poor them they fall for him so easily.

"I'm not sure about the princess part but I'm doing okay." I said honestly. I was okay. I guess seeing other people and familiar faces made me much better.

"Oh that's good news. I'm glad the princess is okay now." The P word again.

"Why are you calling me a princess?" He let out a chuckle.

"Well for starters you live lavishly like a princess, you are treated like a princess in this school and everyone knows your name not to mention your pare-." He stopped himself from talking when he mentioned my parents.

"Right." I said and then looked out of the window next to me. Looking at the trees disappear and reappear quickly as the bus moved.

"Um Kyla I am-"

"Please don't say sorry. I think I have heard enough of those for today." I said and it was quiet. Well until he spoke again.

"Actually I also wanted to apologise to you for not coming to check on you after Mrs Thompson told us what was going on. I thought of texting or calling but I just didn't know what to say to you or even how to act around you so I wouldn't make you feel any worse. I am really sorry. I thought anything I'd say would hurt you like I just did and I didn't want that so I thought I should stay away."

"It's okay and thank you." We both stayed quiet until I spoke again. "I'm just surprised you thought of me I mean we're not even friends." He chuckled nervously.

"Like I said you're hard to miss when everybody thinks of you as a princess and besides if you say we aren't then I say we're teammates." We both creased up in laughter. "I'm sorry though Kyla, for not checking up on my teammate. It wasn't a good thing to do." I smiled at him.

"Although I don't think you should be apologising it's okay I forgive you. And you should know I don't hate you at all well I couldn't even if I wanted to." He frowned.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Well for starter we share a few classes together and as you already know, in projects or whatever that requires group work, they always put us together so imagine the awkwardness it'd cause if I'd hate you and besides I think you're a nice person." I explained.

"Really?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Yeah are you not?" His chuckle made me smile.

"Well I happen to be labelled as the school's man-whore so you thinking I am nice is something I never thought I'd hear. Especially coming from a beautiful lady like you." Beautiful?

Seems like he likes you Kyla.

Seems to me like he's trying his luck.

"Ouch!" I bit my lip.

"What are you doing?" I giggled.

"Just making sure I'm not dreaming if I am then it's time to wake up." We both laughed. I could see a few stolen glances from other students coming our way and some whispering but I decided to ignore it.

"Why would you think you're dreaming anyway?"

"You first called me princess and now you say I'm beautiful, trust me this is one hell of a weird dream." He chuckled even more.

"You're really funny Kyla." I smiled at him softly. "Oh and my mom said I should send her condolences and......" He scratched the back of his neck.

"Aaaaand?" I asked

"And she said I should invite you to dinner sometime. She said she'd like to formally meet you this time." I frowned

"What do you mean formally this time?" I was confused

"First time was when I showed her thee Kyla Davison when you were with your dad in one of the parents-teacher meetings." I could see his cheeks turn red immediately. I burst out cachinnating making everyone look my way immediately. "Wait. Why are you laughing?" I stopped laughing and looked at him.

"Well I just can't believe you are blushing, I mean I've never imagined it happening." Now he looked at me straight into my eyes and I felt like he could see right through my soul so I turned away.

"So are gonna come over?" I turned my head to his direction again after he broke the weird silence.

"I'll think about it Deveon but can I ask you a question?" He nodded. "How does she know me? Like before you showed her who I was, how did she know there is a Kyla Davison?"

"That's a funny questions considering even people in other countries know you." Oh right.

"So basically I'm the rich kid that even your mom knows. I'm flattered honestly." We both laughed.

"Another thing is you're the smartest student there is so you're my competition. Mrs Thompson said I'm her number two best student so my mom was curious to ask who's number one and then she said Kyla. After that she saw you walk past us with your dad and that's when she was like I have to invite you over one time." Right.

Between my parents my dad was involved in my everyday school life more than my mom so he'd always be the one coming to these meetings and stuff.

"Aren't you gonna say anything?" I snapped back to reality as he asked the question.

"Oh uhm I understand." He nodded and suddenly my mind went to what he said earlier. "Why did you say you are labelled as the school man whore?" He looked at me confused.

"Don't tell me you haven't heard anyone saying that. I am literally the talk of the whole school everyday if not you of course." True even new comers go home after the first day knowing Deveon Moore.

"Well it's just that you make it seem like it's not true."

Kyla that was a bit too harsh.

Oops.

"And how are you sure it's really true?" He stared into my eyes again.

"You have a different cheerleader everyday on your lap at the cafeteria." He smirked.

"Oh my! Kyla Davison I am really flattered. You watch me everyday?"

"What?"

"I mean you said it yourself, I am with a different girl everyday." He chuckled.

"Right. You took that literally didn't you?" I rolled my eyes and he laughed even more.

"I'll see you tomorrow Kyla I have to get off now." I looked outside and noticed we were at his station.

"See you tomorrow Deveon." I smiled softly and I instantly felt arms around me and my nostrils being hit with a strong cologne. It smelled so good. He pulled back and kissed my forehead.

What the hell?!!!

"Take care of yourself okay?" I stared at him still shocked that he just placed his lips on my forehead. "And I will tell mom you said yes." He winked and immediately stood up making sure I don't protest. I just giggled and nodded. After the bus started moving I let go of the breath I was holding.

Want my advice?

No.

I'm gonna give it to you anyway. Spend more time with Deveon, he might not be what you think he is.

Yeah and you know him better?

Kyla you know I know everything better that's why I'm here to guide you.

True but no I'm not spending more time with him because after today I doubt we'll ever talk again. He probably asked me to dinner because he was being nice.

Right and lemme guess, hugged and kissed you as well because he's being nice?

I giggled at what Em said.

"I didn't know you can blush that hard." I was pulled from my thoughts by Alec's deep voice next to me. He was now seated next to me.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh so we are playing dumb now? I was practically behind your seat you know. I saw the kiss and that look on your face." Best friends and being overprotective.

"Still don't know what you talking about. What kiss?" He looked mad that I was making him look like an idiot.

"You know what let's get off this bus and I'll tell what am talking about." He stood up and walked to the front. I've been so lost in the conversation with my inner voice and how pissed off Alec looks right now that I didn't even realise we were almost at our stop. Why the hell is he angry anyway? I was only joking.

I stood up and walked to the front saying goodbyes to some of the students that were waving at me. They were really not bad people. I sometimes felt like we were one big happy family in this minibus.

We got off the bus and I already saw Jerry and the car waiting for me from a distance. He came and grabbed my school bag to take to the car.

"Afternoon ma'am. Are you ready to go?" He said in a very soft voice. He was not a loud person that's why we got along very well.

"I'll be right there. Just two minutes." He gave me a curt nod.

"Very well then." He then walked towards the car. It was one of my parents' cars well mine now, and was my favorite to ride in. An SUV. Shiny black in color and light brown leather seats. Always neat and clean.

"So what do you want to tell me? You two are together now?" I turned to Alec who was still facing me. I saw Hannah and her mom in their car behind him waving and I waved back. They must be going for shopping or something.

"Alec what-"

"Stop pretending Kyla. You know that idiot kissed you." I could see he was pissed and very annoyed at Deveon. They didn't really talk. I never knew why but I can see now that Alec doesn't like him at all.

"Don't call him that. Why are you angry anyway? I just don't understand what suddenly got into you. Can't you take a joke anymore?" He looked into my eyes with anger in eyes.

"I will see you tomorrow Ky. Goodbye." I grabbed his arm before he could walk away.

"Alec I don't know what's wrong with you or why you are being like this but what I know is I'm not losing you as a friend because of your childishness." He turned to face me quickly like someone had given him hope.

"Then stay away from that Deveon guy. Easy."

"Neither am I doing that just because you hate him. I am not with the guy, he was just being nice to me that's all." I walked away leaving him to process what I said to him but he quickly did.

"Right. Being nice by freaking kissing you. KY I'M NOT STUPID!" He had to raise his voice a little so I could hear him since I was a few meters away. I stopped walking and looked at him. He turned his back on me and left.

I arrived where Jerry had parked the car then opened the door and got in then he started driving. I could see Alec looking my way at his gate till we were out sight.

Great so perhaps this wasn't the best day ever afterall.
