No one's PoV
It was probably not a coincidence that Bella and Tom and Aneisha and Kevin were walking through the park at the same time.
Fate works in funny ways.
But, coincidence or not, fate still took its sweet time to works its magic.
"And she was totally lying," Bella was saying to Tom. "I am obviously the most pretty girl in our school. Right?" she looked at him pointedly. He mentally facepalmed.
'It's prettiest" he moaned. "Not most pretty." She looked at him weirdly.
"Is that you agreeing with me?" she asked. Tom rolled his eyes.
"Yes." He sighed. Naturally, he thought that Aneisha was the school's prettiest but it probably wasn't wise to tell Bella that.
They had been aimlessly strolling around the park for the last hour and quite frankly, he was getting very bored of listening to her rant about how some other girl thought they were prettier than her.
Things were similar with Aneisha. Kevin wouldn't shut up about how he was obviously going to score the winning goal of the championship football league. She was very quickly getting sick of his bragging.
"You know what?" she snapped finally. "I think I'm going to see if I can find a toilet." He looked very peeved off but shrugged.
"Whatever," he muttered. Rolling her eyes, Aneisha hurried to the nearest restroom and stepped inside quickly.
A little too quickly as it happened, for the moment she shut the door, Tom rounded the corner, having pulled the same stunt with Bella. She was off sulking somewhere, but he couldn't care less; far to happy to be rid of her endless stupidity to be concerned about her feelings.
Also entering the toilets, Tom relieved himself before going back outside, wondering what he planned to do now that he had dumped Bella.
Here was when fate decided to play its card, for Aneisha, also exiting the toilets crashed into him. They fell in a heap on the floor.
"Tom?" Aneisha asked. "What are you doing here?" He shrugged and helped her to her feet.
"I was supposedly on a date with Bella, but I got bored of her and left." He answered truthfully. Aneisha laughed.
"I can say the exact same about me and Kevin!" she smiled. Tom grinned, before realising the awkwardness of the situation.
"Look," he started breaking the silence. "I owe you an apology." She looked surprised but didn't stop him.
"After the kiss," he paused looking for a reaction. He was not rewarded with one. "Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about it. And I thought you did too." He stopped and she slowly nodded.
"I did." She admitted. "But if this is true why didn't you? Why did you go off with Bella?" Tom shook his head.
"I didn't. She sent me a note saying that she wanted to talk to me and had signed it 'A'. I thought it was from you, so I waited until you made your move."
"Which was never coming." She realised. "Is that why you went with her?" Tom shook his head again.
"Like I said, I didn't realise that the not was from her, so it was a complete shock." Tom rubbed the back of his neck. "I was all ready to reject her, but she wouldn't leave me alone until I said yes, and at the time…"
"Frank called us back to HQ," she finished in understanding.
"Yeah. But my biggest mistake was doubting how much she like me. I was going for a hug when you saw us." Tom said. "But, she kissed me instead." he dropped his head. Aneisha kicked the ground.
"I'm so sorry, I should have let you explain yourself, instead of storming off like that." She muttered. Looking at Tom, she smiled slightly.
"It was a misunderstanding on both of our parts," he replied. "I assume that's why you got with Kevin." She looked embarrassed.
"The biggest mistake in my life," she laughed. "I hope I can forget it easily."
"Friends again?" Tom asked extending his hand. Aneisha met it.
"Always."
