They were back in class after lunch break and Dan looked like he was focused on his book, he doesn’t want to speak to Layla, yeah that’s petty but he’s a little bit pissed at her or rather he’s pissed at himself.
He couldn’t wait for a teacher to come in so Layla would stop giving him those sorry looks, he was watching her from the corner of his eyes and she wouldn’t remove her gaze off him.
She hadn’t tried to talk to him since lunch break was over and he guessed his mood must really be reflecting on his face or she would have excitedly filled him in on the details of the lunch with Dylan.

“Are you pissed at me?” She finally asked and when he glanced up to look fully at her face, every anger in him dissolved.
She looked like she was really sorry and it made him get real pissed at himself for overreacting. She did nothing wrong, who wouldn’t grab the chance to eat with their longtime crush and she never would have thought sitting with Dylan would offend him. He hates that his feelings is getting the best part of him.

“No, I’m not pissed at you” He said.
“Then what’s wrong? You look moody and you didn’t even talk to me” She said.
“Im sorry about that, how did it go with him?” He asked and felt a painful tug in his heart when her face lit up.
“Great, I’m so happy. It seems he’s starting to like me? Don’t you think so too?” She asked, grinning.
“Yeah” He mumbled, the anger he’s feeling towards himself intensifying.

He fucking caused this!
Now Layla’s is thinking Dylan is really into her, when Dylan is doing that just to piss him off!
He gave Dylan the fucking privilege to use Layla.
He had been a fool to make his feelings for her so obvious, he had been so dumb!
What the hell is he going to do to this.
How’s he gonna fix this mess.
He can’t allow Dylan continue to lead Layla on falsely.
He wish he could tell her about what Dylan is really doing but is there a way he would tell her without revealing his feelings. And that would even leave Layla more flummoxed.

Why does everything seem so complicated, he has never been in a situation as this, he’s at loss over what to do.
How can his feelings put him in this type of situation.

“You’re pissed at yourself?” Layla asked.
“Huh?” He ask.
“You’re chewing on your pinky finger” She said.
What. . He hadn’t even realised he was doing that.
He dropped his finger and faked a smile “I think it has become an habit”
“No, there’s something wrong with you Dan, there’s something bothering you. Do you mind sharing?” She asked, shifting closer to him with a worried look.
“I’m fine, honestly, there’s nothing bothering me” He said.
“There is, you started chewing your pinky finger out of nowhere, looking lost and bothered. What’s wrong?” She asked.

“Hi” They heard and glanced up to see who interrupted them, it was Chloe, wearing a firm look. Layla remembered the look as the one Chloe do wear whenever she bullied her. She wondered who Chloe is about to bully now, definitely not her and absolutely not Dan either.
Why’s everyone suddenly looking in their direction, it’s annoying actually and she wondered why Chloe’s puppies are not with her.
They were seated and this would be the first time Layla would see them look so uncertain.

“You want something?” Dan asked sounding harsher than intended, he looked a bit irritated with Chloe’s presence. He doesn’t like Chloe, he doesn’t tolerate her a bit and the mood he was in worsened it.
“I just want to know why you hate me so much! No doubt she turned you against me! She filled your heart with false stories about me!” Chloe said, glaring at Layla.
“You came over to say that?” Dan looked stunned but Layla wasn’t even moved a bit. She smiled, irking Chloe further.

“Yes! I need to know why you won’t even answer my greetings, why you won’t be nice to me, she planted my hate in your heart right? I’m not surprised, she’s African and sure has the blood flowing in her veins” Chloe said, breathing heavily. She looked pissed enough.
“That’s lame, did you really left your seat for this?” Dan raised a brow in surprise.

“I won’t deny that I do not like you a bit and it’s actually funny you want me to be nice to you when you’re not even nice to others. So bad of you to have assume Layla filled me with terrible things about you when I see them myself everyday, she didn’t even have to tell me anything to dislike you, that wack behavior of yours that’s always on display is enough to do that. Your attitude sucks!” Dan said calmly, though loudly.
Chloe’s face ashen and she stared at him like it was the first time she was seeing him.
Layla folded in her lips and started drumming her fingers on the desk. Way to go Daniel.
Their classmates whispered amongst themselves, bracing up for more drama. Chloe’s friends looked like they were arguing.

“I don’t have a terrible attitude!” Chloe said shakily, recovering from the shock of Dan’s words.
“You do!” Dan yelled, startling everyone. Layla turned to him in surprise. It’s unlike Dan to yell and even so loudly at that.
“You do” He repeated calmly this time.
“You’re a bully! And I hate bullies, I hate people who seek laughs from others at the expense of someone else’s embarrassment, I hate people who derive joy in hurting others! I hate people who put others down, i’ll never tolerate such people. They are soul killers! Do you even know the effect of your bad attitude on people, i bet you don’t even care, some of these people are probably thrown into depression at the expense of what you did or said to them. So inhumane ” Dan shouted, the weight of his words bringing absolute silence.
Layla stared at him, her mouth slightly opened, she knows he hates bullies but he has never been this expressive about it. She was impressed, though a little bit stunned.

Chloe who looked like her breathing was snatched, started walking slowly to her seat, her shoulders slumped.

Wow.
The mighty Chloe.

“Some situations deserves second chance and it’s only if you change your ways will you get tolerated, not only by me but others as well” Dan said after her, loud enough.
She continued her walk to her seat, and finally got seated after what seems like ages. Her face looked robbed of its bright color, Chloe has never looked so flustered, she sat limply looking straight ahead.

“Did you see what you’ve caused?” Miranda whispered to
Sabrina and Christy.
“We warned her not to go confront him” Christy whispered back.
“I’m glad she did though” Sabrina said, knowing Chloe would come to her right senses after this.
Her obsession for Dan is sickening.
“You both are disappointing” Mira snapped.
“Same here” Rina and Christy snapped back at her.

“I’m sorry I’m late” The teacher said, walking into the classroom.

***NEXT DAY.

“Did Chloe just let that girl go without doing anything?” Sarah asked, .
She wasn’t the only surprised one, her friends were also, everyone in the cafeteria was.

Someone just mistakenly made body contact with Chloe and while everyone expected her to come into display, she had just told the girl to leave, calmly.
The girl was so surprised that she stood rooted to the spot even after Chloe told her it’s fine.
Confusion and surprise was written on everyone’s face. They watched Chloe walk to her table with her friends.

“She’s even looking so calm, didn’t you notice?” Jess asked her friends.
“Yeah, that air of pride isn’t even there anymore” Sarah agreed.
“I wonder what happened” Kate said.
“Could she be putting on an act?” Anne asked.
“I don’t think so, there’s this new calmness to her” Sarah said, still watching Chloe.
“And if it’s an act, we’ll know soon because Chloe can’t keep acting that way for long” Jess said.
“Exactly” Anne said.

“Wow! Dan did you see that?” Layla asked Dan.
“I did” He said.
“Your words changed Chloe” Layla said.
“Well…we can’t be sure yet” He said.
“I really wish she can keep being this way, it suits her” Layla said, glancing in Chloe’s direction and for once Chloe wasn’t glaring at anyone. Dan’s words must have hit her deeply..
“I hope so too” He said.

“OMG, it seems Dylan is coming to get me again” Layla said blushing hard as Dylan approached their table.
“Hi” Dylan smiled at her.
“Hi” She smiled back.
“Wanna join me?” He asked and she nodded almost immediately.
“Dan” She called and he glanced at her, restraining himself from yelling at her not to fucking call his name when she already made the decision to go with him.
“It’s okay” He mumbled and she stood up while Dylan grabbed her tray.
He didn’t glance at Dylan because he knows the fool would be smirking and he might not be able to stop himself from punching him.

They both walked away and he continued his meal in anger like he had yesterday.
Is he going to keep allowing Dylan lead Layla on!
What the fuck is he going to do!!!

“Can I seat?” He heard and on glancing up, his eyes met with Chloe’s.
He had almost not recognised her voice and her eyes, there wasn’t that normal iciness in it. She looked so subdued and he was confused if his words had really had this effect on her.
“Of course” He said.
She smiled and placed her tray on the table before sitting on the seat Layla vacated.
Dan knew everyone was staring at them but he wasn’t bothered about that.

“Thanks for saying those things to me Dan, it..it made me see things in a new perspective, I..I don’t even know what to say to you, just thank you” She said and Dan smiled.
“You don’t have to search for words Chloe. I’m so glad I did what I did, who would have thought Chloe would look this calm, you can also see the surprise on everyone’s face right?”
“Yeah” Chloe nodded. “It made me realize how much my attitude suck” She said, looking ashamed.
“We all have our flaws, just let go of the past, you should stop feeling guilty about it now that you’ve stepped onto a new path”
“Thank you” Chloe smiled gratefully.

“Is this really you? This should better not be a dream” Dan joked and she laughed.

“You’re not eating?” Dylan asked Layla who was picking at her meal as she watched Dan and Chloe.
Yeah, she’s glad Chloe has turned a new leaf but why the hell is she with Dan!
Why the hell would she leave her table for Dan’s!
Why the hell are they laughing!

“You’re not eating?” Dylan asked again.
“I’m eating!” She snapped at him and gasped, on realising what she just did.

“OMG, I’m so sorry”
