Extra Information

So you guys might be thinking, “WTF is this girl's or boy's portion?” Let me answer that question arising in that brain of yours . So the girl’s portion means the girl’s side and boy’s portion means boy’s side. To be more specific, the Sapphire High School is divided into two sides by a wall, the boys and the girls. This makes the boys and girls stay away from each other (so they don’t date each other). Only when there are competitions in school then they are allowed to join any team you want, either a girl or a boy. So yeah that’s what the portion thingy means!

Andrew is just a famous singer, nothing more. Just mentioned him because I had to mention the things or people my characters like so.... ok just tell me from your heart, don’t you guys have an idol who you wish was your boyfriend?(if u r a girl)... So yeah that’s why I mentioned his name.

Emma's relation with other characters is a secret because if I tell you people right now then it’s gonna be a big spoiler. Harry's likings are unknown because he isn’t that expressive so no one knows about what he likes.

There will be more characters in the story. These were just the major characters!

Oh... I just wanna show you guys that the cover of this novel that I made by myself.

That’s actually my baby Avery.... \(OuO)/

The above one is the concept art for Aiden.....

About Me!

I’m Rosie Arthur. I’m Korean British (means one of my parent is from Korea and one is from England). English is not my native language so if there will be any problems in the novel in future then I’m sorry for that! I’m just a potato that loves lying on the couch for the whole day.

By the way guys, Stay safe, stay at home!

*screech*

A big car stopped in front of Avery. Suddenly the door opened and a man came out.

“Wow! Girl you are so pretty. Want me to drop you to school?” He asked her while observing her from head to toe.

“So shall we go?”

“Please get lost!”

“What if I don’t want to?”

“Mister, I’m asking you nicely. Please GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HERE!

“I’m also asking you nicely. GET IN THE CAR!”

All of a sudden Avery screamed so loud that people on the street started gathering around them. An old man came forward and asked Avery what had happened. Avery said, “He was asking me to sit in the car, I don’t even know who he is!”

“Leave me and that girl alone. It’s just a lover’s quarrel. Outsiders shouldn’t get involved. am i right, my dear?”

“Who are you calling her lover? I’m her boyfriend!” A deep voice came from behind Avery, as he slowly put his hand over her shoulder.

It was Aiden, Avery's cousin on whom she had a crush for really long. Aiden was in the same school as Avery so their path to school was the same. When Avery saw Aiden, she started to blush really hard.

“Young lady, do you know this guy who claims to be your boyfriend?” The old man asked looking concerned.

“Oh yeah... I’m his girlfriend,” said Avery as she decided to play along Aiden because he was the only one she could trust right now.The crowd started to disperse as they heard that her boyfriend was there.

“Excuse me! You just came out of nowhere and claimed her to be her boyfriend. We can’t trust you!” The man with the car said it with a smirk on his face.

“Well I am her boyfriend and she even admitted that she’s my girlfriend. If you don’t want to trust me then I don’t care. I just need her trust. And more importantly she didn’t say that you were lovers, did she?” Aiden glared at the man and then looked at Avery. Avery started to shake her head to indicate that they were not lovers.

“So the problem is cleared. Then my dear GIRLFRIEND, shall we go?” Aiden offered Avery his hand. Avery put her hand in Aiden's hand. She was as red as tomato. She was screaming inside.

The man with car was really angry. He opened the door of his car and sat inside. Just before closing the door, the man said, “Slutty Woman!”

“Jerk! Come back! Scared to face a girl... huh?

Avery wanted to punch him right in the face but he had already started the car and left. Avery was so angry that she clenched her fists but then she realised something in her hand. It was Aiden's hand that she had been squeezing. She suddenly stopped squeezing, released his hand and apologised to Aiden.

“Ummm.... thanks Aiden. You saved me today!”

“Welcome. Just be safe on your way home too.”

“I sure will.”

After saying that Aiden started to run towards the school because if he didn’t hurry he would be late for his school. Even though they both went to the same school, Avery's school started 10 minutes late and ended 5 minutes early. The school was really strict about stopping the boys and girls from dating.

Suddenly Avery saw Aiden running towards her. She was shocked to see him because the boy’s school was just about to start. Aiden came close to her and said, “*huff* I will walk *huff* with you to school today so nobody else harasses you!” He was breathing really hard because he was running really fast.

Hearing Aiden’s words, Avery’s heart skipped a beat and she could hear her heart pounding.

“But Aiden you will be late.”

“It doesn’t matter. At least you will be safe!” Aiden said to her while smiling.

Avery’s heart was beating so fast that she thought it would burst.

Aiden walked her to school and said to her, “Wait outside school for me and I will walk with you to home.” Saying this Aiden left.

“I don’t mind him walking home with me! It’s been so long since we both talked freely like this. It’s been so long, we were 6 then, the last time we talked to each other as familiar people!” thought Avery.

Avery went inside the school, heart still beating really fast. She couldn't stop thinking of Aiden.

She even spaced out during her classes, thinking about Aiden. During math class, she was asked to answer a question but there was no response from her.

Avery was one of the top students. She had a really great memory. The thing she would read twice would remain in her mind forever. So , her unexpectedly spacing out during class was worrisome for her best friends.

During the break, Avery's best friends , Emma and Lilly came to her desk and asked her, "are you fine? You have been spacing out today. Is Everything OK??" Emma asked with worry on her face.

"yeah! Everything is going great and I wasn't thinking about anyone!", said Avery smiling brightly. Suddenly Emma and Lilly looked at each other, signaled eachother with their eyes and gave eachother a smile. Then Emma said to Avery, "Avery! I didnt question if you were thinking about someo—”. Emma was about to finish her sentence when lilly interrupted her with a question.

“So Avery, who have you been day dreaming about? Hmmm?”

“W-what?...N-N-No, I haven’t been Day dreaming.” Avery replied her nervously.

“Oh come on! We have known you since age 13. You think you can lie to our faces?!” Emma barged in the conversation.

“So is the person you’ve been daydreaming about, a boy?” Lilly asked Avery curiously.

“Well i guess I cannot lie to you guys cause you guys are gonna keep insisting until I tell the truth.” Avery told them about the morning incident.

“So it’s Aiden who stole your heart?” Lilly whispered.

Avery blushed really hard. Suddenly Emma seemed a bit worried so Avery asked, “what is it Emma? Why do you look worried?”

“No, it’s just that we shouldn’t talk about a boy in our school... You know how furious the teachers will turn... you guys do remember what happened to Clarisse, dont you?!” Emma replied.

“Yeah we do. We would talk about this matter on phone. All agreed?” Lilly asked. Emma and Avery nodded their heads.

After the school had ended, Avery sat under a tree to wait for Aiden. After waiting for about 5-6 minutes, Aiden came out. Just by looking at his handsome face Avery’s heart skipped a beat. Aiden came to her and asked, “So shall we go?”

“Yeah”, replied Avery in a quiet voice.

“How long has it been when we were able to talk freely with each other?” Aiden questioned while looking at the sky.

“It’s been really long”, Avery said gloomily.

“We cannot talk to each other in a family occasion or a party. We cant even look at each other in school. I don’t know why our parents don’t like us together. We used to be the best duo in our family. We were even partners in crime.”, Aiden’s expression turned sad.

“But we saw each other today and even talked to each other,” said Avery to comfort Aiden.

“And you know what, Aiden, your voice has really changed, it’s so deep now, you used to soung like a girl back then. Seems like puberty has hit you really hard, has it?” Avery asked while laughing.

Aiden looked a bit embarrassed but he thought of a comeback, “oh yeah! And what about you? Did periods make you gain wait?”

“Ha! You still can’t come up with good comebacks. It’s a point for Avery and a big zero for Aiden!” Avery was laughing really hard and watching her laugh, Aiden also started laughing.

Suddenly Aiden said,“If it’s fine with you then I will come pick you up tomorrow morning and we will go to school together.”

“Aiden, I-I think it will be difficult for me. You know how my mom is,” Avery said hurriedly.

“Oooof.... I don’t understand our parents! What is wrong with Me talking to You!?” Aiden was quite annoyed.

“C-can we exchange our contact information, for now?” Avery was hesitatingbut still asked what was in her mind.

“Yeah sure! Because that is the only thing we can do.”said Aiden.

Aiden and Avery exchanged their contact information and walked quietly towards their home. Aiden's home was in the same direction as Avery but a bit far. After walking for 10 minutes Avery reached her home. Avery thanked Aiden for walking with her to home.

The day had come to an end but Avery was happy that she got to spend time with Aiden and even got his number.
