I was going back to school which I didn't like because ever since that stupid student took a photo of me and Benedict; we been distancing ourselves more than ever exception we were home because we miss each but even that it became awkward.

I was always asked inappropriate questions so they could laugh and tease me. I don't why it how it's funny? Two; I was watched by students so they could prove their point to other student. It's like being monitored by high classified government official expect their not.

I tried to kiss Ben cheek while no one is there but it soon became a struggle with random students popping up to say hello and stay for a chat, of course Ben couldn't do anything since he's a teacher so I gave up.

It settle down after a couple of weeks but there always a group of jealous girls who always try to test me. They always tell me if I was ever in a relationship with Mr. Cumberbatch that he'll won't love a slut like me. Yet, I was dating him and it puts me in doubt and guilt that I have done something wrong to love this man. I started to question myself and our relationship but of course I couldn't tell Benedict. It'll hurt him to hear.

I just finish lunch after getting away from the group of girls. I took my phone out from my bag to check if Ellison has texted me back. Every since he gave me a phone I have been texting him since its the only number I gotten and no am not getting Benedict number. Why? He'll probably going to spam me asking if am alright; I not going to lie its kinda adorable and hilarious. But mostly I don't know how he'll react if I tell him I having a phone. Sigh, I'll tell him... one day.

"Hey there. What are you doing here all alone?" I jumped hearing another voice, I looked up to find another student looking down at me. She has the darkest hair I seen in my life time and her skin was chocolate brown. Just thinking about chocolate reminded me of an funny accident in the kitchen with Benedict. Good memories.

I looked back at my shoes, "Nothing. Hiding. Why are you here?" I saw that she sat down next to me, "Well... you seem like you needed a friend." I scoffed, a friend? Seriously? That's the last thing I needed. "I heard the rumors," She told me which caught my attention. "You-You believe them?" "What? No. Girl, whatever you got going on with Mr. Cumberbatch is your business not mines." I smiled that the first time I heard someone respecting my affair with Benedict.

I turned off my phone then put it back and stood up, "Love to chat but I got somewhere to be." "Where? The bully box?" She said sarcastically which cause me to roll my eyes playfully. "If you want to tag along then it's your choice." And she did join me, I was just stopping by Benedict room plus am worried that she actually being kind. Everyone will usually find me weird and boring so I don't why I seem interesting to her eye.

I knew he had no class so I just walked inside. "Hey," I smiled, knocking on the door to let him know am here. He looked up from his paperwork and sigh, "Did you skip lunch just to see me?" I walked towards him while the other students was behind me, "No... I ate somewhat." "Somewhat?" His voice turned to concern, I stood next to him and shrugged. "What are you expecting when people are chasing you?" I giggled as he turned his chair so he could face me. "I was chase before too," "But sir! Your use to it! Am use to being push around and being trapped," I whined a bit then we both chuckle. I lower myself a bit so I could give Ben a quick peck on the lips.

They we heard a thud, in which scared us both. "Sorry to ruin the moment. I thought I saw small spider and immediately freak out. You could go on though." I completely forgot about the student, not to be rude! "Aren't you Paola?" "No that's my sister, am Nia." So we introducing each other now? Great! "Sorry, you two look alike," Ben apologised, Nia chuckle. "Its okay so the rumors were true?" Ben sigh then looked up to me then looked down at his papers and whisper, "Yes, am dating a student." "A student?!" I burst out in whisper then he groaned, "Don't groaned at me! Ugh! Your so aggravating!"

This always happens when we speak about our relationship. It always ends in a fight and us being roiled. It wasn't like this; we were happy and giggling all the time. I guess love isn't always heaven. 

"Am not coming home today," I grumbled, crossing my arms. "Nia close the door," "What why?" She asked then Ben glared at her. "I said close the door!" I looked at him confuse on why he's ordering the poor girl. Once she closed the door Ben got up and walked towards me but I walked back slowly until I bumped into a desk in which I couldn't move. "Hugh was right you have change and you have gone absolutely bonkers!" I curse at him, hissing a bit, "Let me go Ben. You said you'll protect me and this isn't protection!" He looked at his watch then at me, "I want to tell you so much but am afraid that you wouldn't like it."

"There's so much your father wanted you to hear," Grandpa told me, lifting me up from the grass. "What did papa want to say?" He gave his usually breathless laughs, "Your father has a book that he wrote before you were born and before he met your mother." I loved Grandpa story's about my papa, telling me how brave he fought for Ireland and Germany. "He told your mother that if she gave him a girl or boy that this book contain his life story because he was afraid you wouldn't like it if he told you," Grandpa told me, I frowned.

I gasp in the tears as everything was a blurred. I wasn't in school. I was connected to machines... oh no. Am at the hospital. "You alright?" I turned to the door finding Andrew leaning on the door with a frown. He walked towards me, sitting down on my bed. I couldn't resist hugging him for comfort. "Its okay. Breath, am here," He soothes him as I sobbed on his shirt. "Ben told me you black out. He call the hospital immediately because you hadn't no pulse." I pulled back and wiped my tears, "Is he here?" He shook his head, "He thought it'll be better if I came in instead of him." God this man, he's so stupid. "And he left his number... told me to give it to you," He gave me a folded piece of paper, I knew Ben found out it. Damn it I shouldn't have told him and not have him found out like this.

I suddenly heard a loud thud was heard, I looked at Andrew, "What was that?" "Uh... nothing, probably the doctor's dropped something. I should go and check," He got up and left. Strange. I looked at the small table next to my bed and saw my bag, I immediately grabbed it and searched for my phone. Two messages from Ellison:

Am fine -EP
Amanda is everything alright? -EP

Ya, am at the London hospital near my school -AT
What happened?! You scared me! I thought I loss you -EP 
I don't remember much... all I could remember is being with my boyfriend and Nia -AT
I'll come to visit. Hopefully your not there for so long -EP

I smiled; he such a sweetheart. "So... um, they had an bit of an accident," Andrew said, walking in, "Got a play to catch. I'll visit if you need me text me." He winked at me then left. I lean back on my bed and closed my eyes until I realized my parents might come. Shit!
