Title: Love knows no boundaries
Insert 5.
One week later.
The past week was hard for Calvin to accept that Dave will never notice him or fall in love with him . He had multiple asthma attacks , luckily he had his asthma pomp with him all the time , Melissa and Dave are madly in love , everyone at the school sbwl's their relationship and that was the reason that made Calvin move on , he swore he will never pour out his heart anyone again , he rather stay single. But on the other hand , it was bad , Melissa ever since she started dating Dave , she has been distant to Calvin and Peter because now she is a popular girl at the school. Find more info below ππΌ.
[ CALVIN'S POV ]
I was sitting with Peter , having our usual light conversation , but all that changed as Melissa arrived , with her new friends.
Girl 1: Melissa how did you do it ?
Melissa: What?
Girl 1: how did you manage chilling with these people , I mean look at them . * Pointing at us *
The others laughed , as well as Melissa and that broke my heart . Peter stood up to answer them , but I held him.
Me: Peter, they are not worth it . Let's find another spot because this one seems to be loved by cockroaches.
Peter laughed , we took our bags and prepared to leave. I looked at Melissa and shook my head , in her eyes I saw a confused girl , changed by popularity. I mean she has changed , completely! She started attending parties , and drinking. I wonder if her father knows about this , he would literally kill her. But anyways , let me stay out of other people's businesses and focus on mine. We got to our spot and sat down.
Peter: Melissa we knew no longer exists , because this new version hae shap ( it's not good)
Me: yeah , but in life , we have to understand that everyone always changes and we will lose some people we love.
Peter took a deep stare at me.
Peter: when did you become so mature?
Me: * laughing a little* life experiences man.
We shared a little laugh.
Peter: well, lucky me , I still have you.
Me: ncaww.
We laughed again and continued with our convo.....
I am at the mall now , my mom has sent me to do some groceries , I was walking near shelves checking for some products on the list and , unaware , I bumped into someone. It was this guy , he is tall , seems harmless , I mean someone would have pulled a stunt already.
Guy : sorry about that * offering me a hand *
Me: I should be the one apologizing , because I wasn't paying attention to where I was going.
Guy: don't sweat it , I am Daniel Lopez.
Atseba haka kopa le lebitso la hae ( Yk , I never asked for his name) now I will have to give him mine too and I hate giving strangers my name.
Me: I am cater * I lied obv *
Daniel: okay , nice to know you Cater , will see you around.
Me: see ya.
He left , if he knew he will never see me again and I am glad that he didn't detect that I lied to him , I continued on with doing the grocery.
Now I am done , all that is left is for me to pay for the grocery and head back him. I am so drained and these are damn heavy , luckily there are trollies. It was my turn to pay , I lift everything as women kept scanning the products , and putting them aside , till she was done. I gave her the credit card , she swiped , gave it back to me and I entered the pin. Then I pushed the trolley to the taxi rank , I waited and waited , but no taxi arrived and this made me begin to worry because it's getting late and now chances of getting mugged are high. A strange car pulled over , the door opened and it was that guy... Daniel.
Daniel: Transport problems?
He said leaning on the car.
Me: No , I am sure a taxi will arrive anytime soon.
Daniel: let go of pride , no taxi will arrive at this time , let me put your things in the car and I will take you home, easy right?
Me: Thanks for the offer , but no thanks .
I waited and waited , but no car came. It was getting very dark by now. I looked at Daniel , leaning on his car or his parents'car , on his phone. He sighed and came to me.
Daniel: let me take you home , it's late , and your parents must be worried about you.
Me: wait , there is a taxi approaching by , told you a taxi will arrive.
I pushed my trolley to the car , as I was about to place the groceries in the taxi , Daniel went to the taxi driver. He took out cash and gave it to the taxi driver.
Daniel: thanks , but this one is going with me.
With that , the taxi left. I looked at him with a death stare .
Daniel: what?
Me: why did you do that?
Daniel: what?
He is stupid maybe.
Me: I didn't have energy for this.
He walked to me and started taking my stuff to his car.
Me : what are you doing? * Following him*
He just ignored me , till he loaded all the groceries in his car.
Daniel: hop in.
Me: no , not after what you did!
Daniel: * laughed * don't make me come to you , and place you in the car.
Me: you won't , I dare you.
