So this is what some of you have been waiting for..... Hannah's POV.

For those of you that don't know the meaning of POV. It simply means 'Point Of View.' And then please note that if I don't specify whose POV it is then that means, it's Noellia's POV since she's the main character. So apart from Noellia's POV, I specify other people's own.

This chapter is dedicated to my best friend uwu_tan12 You guys should go check out her book 'BORN WITH A SINGLE MOTIVE.' It is a 'one in a million' storybook.

THAT'S THE NAME OF MY BABY NIECE.

Hannah's POV

As I took a book from my locker for my next class, my thought drifted to Noellia. She was finally fitting in- I thought. She always had been insecure and naive ever since we met in year three.

I still remembered that day, she couldn't stop looking at me because my hair was left untied. She always held hers up into two bunches or a pony tail.

I didn't know if she knew but I really did love her so much as a friend. I wasn't trying to change her. Or was I?

My mind drifted to the scene I had just seen few minutes ago. Her eyes met with mine. She pushed him away, acting all normal like nothing ever happened. But it was too late, I had seen enough.

I turned around to walk away. Feeling hopeless and weak, my legs took me out of school. I usually wouldn't care less, but, this was from my best friend.

I didn't care about Adrick, we were already on the verge of a breakup, he didn't like me anymore and I didn't either. He had even confessed that he liked Noellia now but I didn't think he would move on so soon.

I tried really hard to push it off my mind but it didn't want to. I thought I had stopped loving Adrick. I knew I did but why was it still hurting? Like a nail had pressed into my heart or was it because I saw him with my best friend?

I tried concentrating on the road I was walking on, but it seemed like the nail was getting its way quickly. Memories of when Adrick and I were together, started pouring into my mind. Tears rushing down my cheeks.

No, no, I couldn't still be in love with him. I couldn't even start to think about Noellia. I couldn't believe she could betray my love- the love we shared. Wasn't she the best friend I called my own? And the one who understood me better?

But then again, it wouldn't have been her fault. She would never do that to me, but Adrick. That huge flirt, I didn't love him, I despised him rather. I cleaned my tears with the back of my hand and took my phone out of my pocket. I dialed Noellia's number. I knew it by heart.

When she didn't pick, I called her several times. Still. I messaged her that I was okay and that we needed to talk. About something different. Still no answer.

Maybe she didn't have her phone or she had already gone to class. I walked properly on the road so that people wouldn't think I was a girl that had no life to live at all.

Seeing a café, I entered it to relieve myself a little. As usual, the door of the café rang a bell when I pushed it. I acted as if everything was okay, with a smile plastered on my face.

The smell of coffee hit me, but I didn't react much to it. I went straight for a table at a corner, avoiding all the stares I was getting.

A waiter came up to me, he looked young for the job, like someone my age. "Hello young lady, what can I get for you?" He asked with his accent that sounded Italian.

"I just want coffee, nothing else."

"Okay," He walked away.

I slowly surveyed the room. There were few people present, it wasn't really filled up seeing that people were probably at school or work. I noticed two boys, like around 19 or 20 years, staring at me. I removed my gaze from them so I wouldn't seem rude.

"Here is your coffee, young lady."

"Uhh, thanks, but I'll appreciate it if you call me Hannah."

"Oh, Hannah. You have a really nice name. That's the name of my baby niece. Don't worry she is really cute." We both shared laughter.

I wanted to ask him why he was here and not at school but he was called by his boss. Sipping my coffee, I took my phone out to check the time. It was 10:30 am.

Wow. Time really went fast.

Looking back at the two boys, they were still staring at me. Awkward.

*******************

Finishing my coffee, I got up, paid and left immediately.

I decided to go to Noellia's home to see her parents. I had planned to lie to them that I wasn't feeling well and I took it as my reason for returning quite early.

I waited outside the café for my driver that I had called earlier. Arriving minutes later, I entered the back seat and looked back at the café where the boys were sitting. They weren't there.

Turning back, I see them entering a taxi. Strange people. Why were they even wearing a black jacket with hoodies? Shaking my head, my driver took a left turn drastically.

My phone beeped. At last, she had seen my messages. I glanced at it and frowned. It was from the group chat specific people at school shared.

It said:
We are having a meeting at our usual place.

At 10 pm. I hope to see all of you there. Including Noellia.

I didn't know why this person needed or wanted to see Noellia. She had nothing to do with this bet. How would I even convince her to come for this meeting, most of all, it was at 10 pm.

Why today?
