Dying in silence

Fontana Pov

#At the cafeteria

I placed my tray on the table and Darrel looked up at me.

“What are your doing here?”he asked and glanced at the guards standing behind me.

“Why are your sitting here alone and why didn’t you call me along with your on your way here?”I asked instead.

He gazed down at his food and picked it with the spoon.

“Why are you ignoring me?”I asked and sat down on the chair, opposite him.

He still doesn’t talk.

I sighed and collected the spoon from him,”now, what the hell are you up to, why are you acting like this towards me, it’s really annoying”

He scoffed and stared at me.

“You’re the one annoying here, Fontana. I didn’t expect you to keep such thing from me”he said angrily and nabbed his spoon from me.

“What thing?”I asked innocently.

Honestly, I didn’t get what he was insinuating.

“Now, you’re gonna pretend as if you don’t know anything. Listen, Fontana, I don’t think you know what Friends means. Why would you lie about your identity in school and even to me after everything we’ve shared”he complained angrily.

“We’ve shared?, what have we shared”I asked and he brushed his hair back frustratingly.

“Still pretending?, yeah, fine, I’ll break it down in pieces for you. Why don’t you tell me you’re the Longworth daughter all along even after sharing secret with you”he said.

“Which secret?”

“Ugh. You take long in grabbing things, you’re once a psycho, remember?, and I, I saved you without letting anyone know about it”he explained.

Oh..

But then…

I arched my brow and placed my elbow on the table.

“It wasn’t a secret?, and besides, how many times have I told you to stop saying I’m a psycho when I have never been one”I frowned at him.

“Well, first, answer my questions”he replied.

“I did that because I don’t want to be noticed and I’m sorry for not telling you, I… I just didn’t want anyone to know my true sef”I begged.

“Lame excuse. Now, I’ve done something stupid all because you lied to me”he said and stood up and left.

I tried calling him back but you restrain my self.

Let me give him some space.

I turned around and watched his back as he walked away.

I turned back and pick a banana out of my plate, unwrapped it then shove it in my mouth.

And what does he mean when he said he have done something stupid.

Geeezz…..

I carried my box of milk, stabbed the straw on it and started slurping from it.

The more I think about his words, the more guilty and hurt I felt.

Mia suddenly walked to my table with her tray.

“Uhh…. hi?, Ana?”she smiled.

But it is damn obvious that she’s nervous.

I rolled my eyes at her,”what do you want?”

“Can… can I.. sit here, like with you?”she stuttered nervously.

“I don’t dine with losers”I said and stood up.

Then, I faced her.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“The table is all yours now, you can have it all to yourself and maybe… with your loser friends also”I eyed her and sauntered away with the guards trailing behind me.

I saw a girl taking pictures of me secretly.

I headed back to the class and the guards stopped at the entrance.

I went in and my eyes traveled to Darrel’s desk.

His head was placed on his desk.

I heaved deeply and walked to my seat then sat down.

“You came back early today”Fred smiled.

“Huh?, have you forgiven me?”I turned to him and asked.

“Yeah. I realized you weren’t even at fault and I was acting like a coward towards you”he said.

“That’s good, I’m glad you’ve finally realize it”I nodded.

The Savannah girl turned to me and beamed.

“I knew you were the Longworth daughter when you told me your name is Fontana, even your body smelt of luxury”she said.

I only smiled at her cause I don’t know how to reply to her words.

“So, i couldn’t come to give this to you yesterday but here, I hope you accept it”she said and proffered a box of chocolate juice to me.

“I’m sure you would love it if you try it”she smiled.

“Thanks”I smiled and collected the juice from here.

“Well, I also got something for you”Fred suddenly said.

“You do?”I asked.

He nodded and opened his bag then also brought out a box of youghurt.

He placed it on my opened palm on the desk.

“I appreciate”

“I would like to take one of them now, so, I will just go with the youghurt first”I said and I saw Savannah face dropped.

I guess Fred noticed this too and tried making me drink her chocolate juice.

“Uh, you can just drink mine later, I’m sure Savannah would love you to drink hers now and tell her what you feel about the drink and since she gave you first so you should have hers first”

“No. I guess you don’t know but I like taking chilled chocolate and this one is warm so I would just go with your youghurt”I said.

“Savannah won’t mind, right?”I added and she gave a nervous smile.
