I do not own the Winx Club

CHAPTER 11

TING! TING! TING!

Looking at the front of the room Sky was tapping a glass, giving a toast.

"I want to thank you all for coming out and celebrating with Bloom and I. Freshman year I never would have thought that I would meet the love of my life. This is especially true seeing as I was going to an all boys boarding school at the time. " Everyone laughed. "But no seriously. Bloom. You are everything that I could ever need. We have had our misunderstandings in the past, but understand this. I will always love you."

"Oh, Sky" Bloom cooed as she kissed him and everyone cheered.

That was really beautiful. I'm happy for them I thought. Suddenly I saw Stella tackle them into a hug. Looking to my left I wondered when she had even left from standing by me. Hearing laughter behind me I turned around to see Layla. She wiped a tear from her eye. I wasn't sure if it was from laughing or from the speech.

"This is really nice. It's been so long. We really should find a way to do this more often."

"Yes we should" I replied with a smile. Looking around I noticed that Helia wasn't there. Where did he go?

"Who are you looking for Flora?" Aisha asked.

"No one really. Helia was just here a minute ago. He must've left during the speech." I replied pretending to be nonchalant. Layla raised her eyebrow.

"Riiigght. We're going to get past your bad acting and get straight to what's going on between you and Helia. As far as I know you two didn't even know each other in highschool." Geez, here we go again

"You're starting to sound like Stella." I retorted, walking into the hallway.

"How so?" She asked following me.

"Nothing it's just that she wanted to know how we knew each other as well, and before you ask again, we are just classmates." Layla nodded her head, but I could tell she didn't fully believe me. I rolled my eyes at this. "Look. While we're on the subject. What is this whole thing with Krystal?"

"Oh wow I remember her. What are you guys saying about Krystal?" Bloom asked walking over to us with the rest of the girls coming out into the hall as well.

"Probably about how she was so horrible to Helia!" Stella responded.

"What happened? Bloom and Layla asked

"Get this! Helia told me and Flora that Krystal left Helia for James! He said she found someone better, but the way he said it you could tell she cheated on him first!…"

"Stella you're being too loud!" I quietly screamed.

"That's so sad! I told you guys that they seemed a bit too close even if they did all grow up together!" Bloom exclaimed.

"Yes it is but, Flora I thought that you hated Helia why were you talking with him?" Techna asked dumbfounded.

"Why would she hate Helia?" Layla and Stella asked in unison.

"Because we found out that he was the one leaving aggravating reviews on her blog all of the time." Techna stated very matter of factly.

"He's Realism?!" Bloom asked her eyes wide open. "Why didn't you tell me?!"

Everyone started speaking all at once yelling questions at me. This is getting out of hand.

"FWEEEEEEEE!" I whistled loud enough for the Winx to hear. They all froze and stared at me.

"Look. Today is not about me, it's about Bloom, so I say we get out of the hallway and besides we are making a scene." Looking around there were random passerbys looking at us.

Musa who had been quiet the whole time was the first to speak while walking towards the door.

"She's right. We should go back in. Knowing the guys they are all wondering where we are by now. I wouldn't be surprised if they were on the other side of this..." Musa opened the door and five boys fell down. "door." She finished her sentence.

Relieved by the temporary distraction I stepped over the mound of boys being scorned by their partners. One boy to go I temporarily lost my balance. As I prepared for a hard impact with the floor a pair of strong arms suddenly grabbed me by my waist. Looking up I saw Helia. He had been standing alongside the wall by the door. Had he heard the conversation in the hall that we just had? Mentally I shook my head at the thought. Before I could even say thanks he abruptly spoke.

"I should probably go break this up and go say hi to everyone. I haven't even congratulated Bloom and Sky yet, but hopefully I can see you later Flora?" He stated more like a question. I gave a smile and a nod causing him to smile even brighter. Helia turned and walked to our friends.

Returning to the party I talked to Daphne while the Winx and Specialist talked with Helia. I knew they were catching up talking about the times that they had spent together and I couldn't help feeling a little left out.

"Hey Flo." Musa said walking up.

"Hi Musa. Why aren't you with Riven and everyone else?" I asked

"Well they're all talking about old times, and I felt a little left out so I came over to talk to you thinking that you might be feeling the same." She replied.

Out of all of the Winx Layla and Musa were always the ones that understood me the most.

"Why do you feel left out Musa. Weren't you friends with Helia in highschool too?" I asked a bit confused.

"Not really." She replied, sitting next to me looking over at our friends. "When they were all hanging out a lot that was around the time that me and Riven were fighting a lot and I used to hang back with you and Layla before she met Nabu. The only things that I know about him are what the girls would say and what Riven told me seeing as they were roommates. I don't know much more than you do, but from what everyone has been saying about him, he seems to be a good guy. What do you think Flo?'

"I think that you're right Musa. As you probably figured out we talked the other night, and even though we didn't go over everything we are on good terms now, and decided to try to be friends."

"Just friends?" Musa said looking at me

"Musa really?" I pouted, crossing my arms.

"It was just a question Flo, that's all. I mean come on. You guys are getting along now, I know you think he's hot and I'm pretty sure that he likes you."

"Why would you think that, any of that, especially him liking me?" I asked clearly aggravated.

"Because I know you Flo and why else would he go through so much if he didn't. I mean getting Riven to get info out of me about you so that he could find a nice way to apologize. Guys won't go out their way like that. Besides that… I have my way of knowing things." She winked at me and walked over to Riven who was walking around clearly looking for her.
