A/N Sorry for taking forever to update, a lot was going on. My asthma has been playing up but no asthma attack... yet. Plus I went round a friend's house for a sleepover and I also had a skateboarding accident on the half pipe but that's just some cuts and grazes. Read the A/N at the bottom it's important.
Chapter 10 - A Shock
(Flora's POV)
We just sit there talking for a few minuets until this one girl walks over to us and ruins it. I don't know her name though as I don't recognise her, but then again I don't know that many people here. She has long light ginger hair, golden eyes and pale skin. "Oh look who it is." She laughs as she looks straight at me. I turn away not wanting to have to deal with this right now.
"Hey leave her alone." Helia tells her firmly much to mine and her surprise. She steps back slightly shocked. "I'm the only one aloud to tease her." Helia then adds. I shake my head a little from how he just ruined the moment while the ginger girl quickly runs off.
"You didn't even say much to her to make her leave." Aisha says slightly surprised. She's right, that girl left rather quickly.
"Maybe she just had a proper look at your face." Helia whispers teasingly in my ear. I roll my eyes and gently hit him.
"Or she saw Nabu's deathly glare." I reply pointing to Nabu, ignoring his previous comment. All of us look at Nabu who is still giving a death glare to where the girl was standing. Me and Aisha can't help but laugh as Helia spends several minuets snapping Nabu out of his daze.
"Oh uh sorry." Nabu apologizes slightly embarrassed. I can't help but giggle a little.
"It seems like Nabu sees you as the younger sister he never had." Aisha tells me. At first I thought she was joking around but then I realize she's being serious and Nabu isn't exactly denying it either. Well I have to admit I do kind of see him as an older brother but there is no way I'm saying that out loud. We all talk until the end of lunch and then Helia walks with me to our next lesson which is art. The lesson seems to go on forever with me getting continuous glares and dirty looks from pretty much everyone.
"Thank God." I whisper quietly to myself as the bell goes for the end of the lesson. Helia walks with me to our next lesson which is geography and luckily for me the teacher tells me to sit next to Helia. I try to only pay attention to the lesson instead of everyone around me but it's hard, especially when they keep chucking mean notes at me. I stuff the few notes currently on my desk in my bag but Helia catches the next one. He frowns as he reads it and sends a glare in the direction the note came from.
"Flora don't let them do this to you." Helia tells me quietly. I sigh.
"What did it say?" I ask him as I reach to take it from him but he quickly crumples it up and shoves it in his pocket.
"It doesn't matter." He quickly replies. I open my mouth to argue but the bell goes for the end of school before I can say anything. Everyone rushes out of the classroom including the teacher leaving only me and Helia. "Come on we need to pick Macy up before we go home." Helia tells me. I grab my stuff before following him out of the classroom. We walk to Macy's school and pick her up before walking to Helia's house with her.
"Can we order pizza tonight?" Macy asks hopefully. Helia lets out a small laugh and nods. Macy cheers happily before running off to play. I laugh as Helia picks up the phone and orders some pizzas for the three of us. Once he hangs up I switch the TV on and decide to put a film on for us to watch while we wait. It's not long before I fall asleep on the sofa while Helia is sitting on the sofa still watch the film. I wake up to someone shaking me. I open my eyes to see Macy with Helia behind her.
"Macy?" I ask tired.
"Foods ready." She announces as she sits on the carpet where Helia has laid out three pizzas. I notice I haze a blanket covering me. Ignoring the blanket that wasn't here when I fell asleep I get up and sit on the carpet with Helia and Macy.
"Thank for getting pizza Helia." I thank him as we eat.
"It's fine, saves us time as we don't have to cook." Helia replies. After we've finished eating Macy rushes upstairs to get ready for bed while me and Helia clean up. "Had a nice sleep?" Helia asks me amused as a grin appears on his face.
"Yes actually I did." I answer him ignoring his teasing tone. Helia lets out a small laugh. After we've tidied up we go back and continue watching some films on the television before we both go upstairs and go to bed after showering.
I wake up earlier than usual so I quickly get dressed and decide to make breakfast. I start cooking pancakes. Luckily it's Saturday tomorrow so I can get a break from what's happening at school. It's not long until Helia and Macy come downstairs all ready for school. We eat together before leaving. We quickly drop Macy off at her school before we go to ours.
School passes by slowly with me getting regular glares, dirty looks and mean messages. I don't even know why I bother! Finally school finishes and me and Helia pick up Macy before going home. "I swear school goes on forever." I tell Helia as we get home. He laughs as he heats up some leftover pizza from last night for the three of us to eat.
"It's not that bad." Helia replies.
"Yeah maybe not for you." I tell him as I think about the rumours about me. He sits down and hands me and Macy some of the pizza he's just finished warming up while keeping a plate for himself. We begin eating.
"Don't worry Flora it'll get better, we will get to the bottom of those rumours and find out who sent them and why." Helia assures me. I nod wanting to believe him but honestly I don't know if I can. Once we've finished eating all the leftover pizza me and Helia clean up while Macy watches some cartoons. "Got anything planned tomorrow?" Helia asks me.
"Just work in the afternoon but that's it." I reply.
"You work at the big flower shop don't you?" Helia asks me curiously. I nod. "You might want to check when you're there, I heard it's closing as the owner got offered a job at a bigger one somewhere else with better money in come." Helia tells me. I hope it's not closing. After all I haven't been working there that long but I still love it there.
"I'll check tomorrow, I didn't know that." I reply as I dry my hands on a towel before walking back into the living room with Helia. We sit down on one of the sofas together and watch the cartoons with Macy. After a few hours Macy gets tired and goes to bed and I go up not long after her.
I wake up late in the morning. I think I'll just be lazy this morning. I go downstairs not bothering to get changed out of my pyjamas. I sit down with Macy and watch some films with her. Suddenly Helia walks in. "Flora good to see you're up but you might want to get dressed soon." Helia tells me. I look at him confused since I don't have to leave for work any time soon.
"How come?" I ask him confused.
"Brandon, Stella and Musa are coming over because I have a project I need to do with them." Helia replies. I groan as I get up and go upstairs. I get dressed and brush my teeth and hair before coming back down.
"I'll be going then." I tell Helia as I walk towards the door when suddenly I'm picked up. I squeal out of shock as Helia carries me into the living room and sits on the sofa with me.
"No you can go later, they won't say anything about the rumours." Helia tells me. I tense up a little just at the mention of the rumours. Helia smiles gently at me as he leans down and rests his chin on my forehead while I'm cradled in his arms.
"You can let me go you know." I whisper to him. He laughs at my comment.
"Wow thanks for ruining the moment Flora." Helia laughs as he looks down at me. I don't know what happens but one minuet we're staring at each other and the next his lips are against mine. At first my eyes widen in shock but then I manage to relax as I return the kiss. We pull apart after about a minute and I blush bright red while Helia's cheeks turn a light shade of pink. Macy gets up and runs to the door as someone begins to knock and when she returns she's with Stella and Brandon.
"Looks like something happened in here! Did Helia finally admit his feelings?" Stella asks. My eyes widen as I turn to Helia in disbelief as he just shakes his head at Stella and I can tell she wasn't meant to say it. "Oops sorry." She apologizes quietly.
"They were kissing." Macy giggles as she sits back down to continue watching some films. I open my mouth to say something before instantly closing it knowing I'd only make it worse. I quickly get off Helia and stand up.
"You should really make a start on that project of your's. Where's Musa though?" I ask quickly attempting to change the subject.
"Musa called and said she can't come because she is helping Tecna with something but she'll defiantly be here next time we work on it." Brandon explains. "Anyway back to you two, does this mean you're together?" Brandon then asks changing the subject back to me and Helia.
"No it doesn't it was just the heat of the moment." Helia answers him, I can't help but be a little disappointed but I don't let it show or say anything about it. I guess it didn't mean anything. I don't know why I thought and hoped it did.
"Yeah whatever you say Helia." Stella replies obviously not believing him but if he says it was just the heat of the moment then it probably was and there's no point in me getting my hopes up. After all he should know if it was the heat of the moment or not, he kissed me. Helia raises his eyebrows at Stella's comment.
"What do you mean by that Stella?" Helia asks her knowing she didn't believe that us kissing was the heat of the moment.
"Helia she means she thinks you're lying about the kiss being the heat of the moment and that she thinks you two should get together." Brandon explains even though we all know fully well that Helia knows exactly what Stella meant.
"Plus you two would look so cute together." Stella can't help but add in.
"You know what I think I'm going to go now. I'll go to the park for a while before I go to work so I'll see you all later." I tell them. The three of them nod as Macy isn't really listening to our conversation.
"By the way Flora I just thought we'd let you know, we don't believe those rumours about you and we're going to prove that they aren't true." Brandon assures me. I give him a friendly smile.
