Chapter 1:Avoiding You

The wind blew gently and warm, on a warm sunny day gentle and clear yellow bright. There stood a lovely girl in blue, holding a fan like summer's dawn. She looked around left and right and saw the man she always knew she liked for a very long time. Slowly she walked and tried to approach, but a woman ran beside him and held his hand with a bright smile. An unfamiliar feeling, raged inside her heart, then she smiled and left, leaving the two of them behind.

A few months passed and there she avoided that man she liked, trying to move on from the feeling she had inside. Each day, each night she looked for Mr. right but then her heart only yearns for one name " Novie John" lots of men caught her interest but that's only that as her heart still goes back to that man she oath to forget.

One day as her friends and her were cleaning the gardens, Novie approached with his same old smudge face. Her friend since childhood "Apple" called Novie as she grinned knowing she had trapped her childhood friend in an awkward situation.

"Nov!"

Novie looked at Apple and approached.

"Oh Apple, Jheanelle! So it's your time. to dean the garden tody huh?"

"Yeah"

She mumbled.

"Why is something. is something the matter?..

Apple looked at her and got a very weird idea.

"Novie can you help me with something""

"what?"

"I really need to go to the bathroom, but I can't possibly leave the plants hanging."

Novie raised an eyebrow.

"Then?"

Apple grins.

"Will you do this for me? Jheanelle's here anyways.

Novie backs out and crosses his arms

"No way. I'd rather play Ml than do so."

" Please, please, please.."

Apple looked at him with a pleading eyes that shines so brightly like the stars.

"Stop looking at mu with eyes like that, it feels like I'm going blind."

" Come on, Just say yes! Isn't Jheanelle your beloved friend anyways."

She winked

"Fine fine"

" Good"

Apple smirked and saw Kristel looking at them with a grin.

"Kristel!"

Apple shouted at Kristel.

"Yes."

"Can you go to the bathroom with me?"

She hints to leave Jheanelle and Novice alone.

"Sure, sure why not."

Kristel went to Apple and they both left the 2

two of them hanging.

On the way to the bathroom Kristel could not help but ask Apple why she did it.

"Apple Juicy!"

"What? Stop calling me juice... it's not my name!"

"Well what can I say.......it suits your name"

Smiled as she annoyed her.

"Hmmp!"

Looked at Apple.

"seriously, are you trying to make a bridge for them?"

"Yeah, you could say that. Didn't you see the way Jheanelle looks at Novie, although she's good at hiding it, I could tell that she likes him......I know her long enough to not realize her feelings."

Kristel nods in agreement.

"Come to think of it, she seems awkward with Novie"

"Yeah at least, I hope it will help them both."

Apple said with a smile.

" Yeah, I hope they could both make up"

Smiles stiffly

Back in the garden both Novie and Jheanelle were left alone doing all the chores. Novie held the broom so tightly in annoyance.

"Hay, don't grip the broom that tightly"

" Ohh!"

Said in realization.

" May I ask you something?"

"Yes"

"Why are you avoiding me?Did I do something that could upset you?"

Asked in confusion.

"Avoiding you? You must be mistaken because I haven't."

Said not looking straight on Novie's eyes as she hesitates.

"Then look at me in the eyes and tell me you aren't avoiding me"

Looked at him and looked at the skies.

"The sky looks cloudy today he probably should finish this now."

Picks up the dustpan and begins to gather the trash Novie returns his gaze to his work and shakes his head at Jheanelle's refusal to answer.

"You're always like this .Even though you said you didn't avoid me,but I know you are. You couldn't even handle a small conversation with me now."

Jheanelle looked at him nonchalantly and turned to leave, leaving Novie alone.Then with a slight of hesitation she looked back at him and smiled bitterly.

"How could I stay close with you, when you needed to give your the fullest of your attention. to the girl you like."

She started walking leaving Novie troubled.
