see the disappointment on Mr and Mrs Chen.

 

"She'll learn as time goes," I told.

 

"I wish she was like you, more responsible and organised," Mr Chen said. I smiled.

 

"Everyone is different, she just needs someone to guide her," Crystal said.

 

"Crys, finish up your breakfast," I scolded.

 

"I am full," I winged. She turned back to Mr Chen.

 

"All I would say is that I cannot understand your pain. If I had a father, I would've understood," Crystal said sadly.

 

"Crys is right, you should not focus on it too much," I agreed as I picked up her half glass of milkshake and handed it to her. She drank a little bit and placed the glass on the table.

 

"Crys, finish it all!" I yelled. "My stomach will explode," she complained. I grabbed the glass and put it to her lips making her drink all of it.

 

"Do yous love each other?" Mrs Chen asked. 

 

"No, we're just best friends," we both said at the same time. Mr and Mrs Chen giggled.

 

"Erm, I think we should get going. We don't want to be late for school," I said. Crystal grabbed her backpack and ran quickly.

 

"You didn't finish your pancakes!" I yelled. I grabbed my backpack and ran after her as I said goodbye to Mr and Mrs Chen. I saw crystal in the driver’s seat. She had locked the door.

 

"Crystal get out!" I yelled.

 

"No, I am driving today," she laughed.

 

"No, get out. You're not well," I said.

 

"Do you want me to leave you?" she giggled. I gave up and sat in the passenger seat.

 

"You're ridiculous," I complained. She poked her tongue at me and made a face as she laughed.

 

"I have something for you," I said to her as I took out a huge Lindt chocolate box. She gasped.

 

"THESE ARE MY FAV!" she screamed. She opened the box as fast as she could and ate one chocolate. This girl is unbelievable. She’d do anything for chocolate.

 

Crystal's P.O.V:

As we arrived to school, I saw Michelle with SALMON! I couldn’t afford to let my brain mess with me, Ivan was already very suspicious about me. I decided to ignore then walk to my role class with Ivan. These mixed emotions were messing me up, so I ate a few more chocolates. They worked pretty well on me, and I felt really happy with a lot of energy. Ivan was finishing off his math homework and I was really bored. I decided to annoy him by blowing in his ear.

 

"Crys, stop I have to finish this," he complained.

 

Then I started tapping on the table. Ivan was still not giving me attention. I grabbed a pencil and tickled him on his back. he turned to me and gave me a STOP smile. I gave him a naughty smile. He turned back to his work. I decided to put my face on his book.

 

"I am taller than youuuuuu!" I screamed.

 

"Shh, Crystal you're too loud," Ivan said. There was no one in the room.

 

"Sit up," Ivan scolded.

 

I sat up and saw the class fill itself. The bell had finally rung, and the teacher came in. She had been going through the names. I looked around to see where Michelle was, and she was sitting next to Salmon. I had to focus so I ate another chocolate.

 

"Crystal," the teacher called out. "Heeeeyyyy Mssss," I yelled hyperactively. Everyone started giggling.

 

"Are you okay?" the teacher asked me.

 

"Yeesss Msss," I exaggerated again.

 

"Crystal, calm down," Ivan said.

 

The teacher continued marking the role and I decided to eat more chocolate, since I was bored, and no one was giving me attention. Ivan had decided to snatch the chocolate box out of my hand.

 

"You're going to get sick," he said.

 

"Give it back," I growled.

 

"Wooah, calm down," Ivan exclaimed.

 

"It's not calm down. It's clam down," I said making a childish face. Ivan had turned my chair around and trapped me with both of his arms as he leaned forward towards me.

 

 ---------------------------------------

Ivan's P.O.V:

"Really?" I smirked as her lips caught my eyes.

 

"Ahan," she mumbled in a cute voice. At this point I was really tempted to just kiss her but I just stared at her. She gave a cute smile. Crystal started playing with my hair.

 

"Ooo, it's softy," she squealed.

 

I put my right hand on Crystal's waist. She gasped but was still playing with my hair. I was rubbing my thumb on her waist which increased my temptation. I got closer to Crystal, and again she smiled as she looked into my eyes.

 

"Awee, yous so cute," the classed sung.

 

I got of Crystal quickly who was playing with her own hair, unaware of the surrounding. I packed my stuff for next class and the bell had rung. I grabbed Crystal and left the class.

 

"I am so adorableeeee.... I am the oneeee...," she sung.

 

"Let's go," I said as I pulled her. Crystal was greeting everyone in the hallway. She seemed so elevated.

 

"Look at this hot stuff," a guy smirked as he checked her out. I got really annoyed by the other comments that were made by the guys.

 

"Crystal, What are you doing?" I asked Crystal.

 

"What do you mean what am I doing? I am flyingggggggg," she yelled as she ran across, with everyone looking at her.

 

I quickly ran after her. She had gone into class and was greeting everyone individually. I sat down at my desk and watched her. She was herself again, the happy soul. Her actions were really cute. She was really cute. She had finally finished greeting everyone and had come sit down next to me. The teacher had also arrived. It was Martial Arts class.

 

"Good morning everyone. Today we will be practicing the waltz," she said.

 

"Yaaayyy, waltz," Crystal whispered. I giggled.

 

"First you will be practicing it with the partners I will assign you and then with the partners you have chosen for yourself," the teacher said.

 

WHAT! Crystal, dancing with another guy. This day couldn't get any better. I didn't want to see her dancing with another guy. The teacher started reading the duets. I was assigned with Alina and Crystal was assigned with Salmon. Crystal grabbed onto my arm and her head was leaning on my shoulder with her face facing towards me.

 

"I don't want to be with Salmon," she softly complained with a sad face.

 

"Don’t worry you'll be fine," I said. She held on tighter and complained that she didn't want to go. I tried convincing her but it was no use.

 

"Alright everyone, get with your partners please," the teacher instructed.

CHAPTER 14: Crystal’s Past

Crystal got up and walked over to Salmon and I walked over to Alina. We got into our positions and followed according to the video Ms had displayed.

 

"So, do you like Crystal?" Alina asked.

 

"No, no she's just my best friend," I said.

 

"It doesn't look like it," Alina smirked.

 

Crystal and Salmon were nearby us and my whole attention was towards Crystal. I had noticed Crystal was going pale and she was feeling uncomfortable. Salmon was getting really touchy with her and it was getting annoying.

 

"Ouch!" Alina shouted.

 

"What happened?" I asked.

 

"You stepped on my feet and squeezed my hand," Alina told.

 

"I'm really sorry. I didn't notice it," I apologised.

 

She looked over at Crystal and Salmon. "OOOH, I see" she said.

 

"What?" I asked.

 

"Salmon is Crystals ex-boyfriend," Alina said.

 

"What!" I shouted in a whispering voice.

 

"Crystal didn't tell me about him," I complained.

 

"It ended so suddenly, without any explanation. There were many rumours that blamed Crystal but more blamed Salmon. But Crystal was the one to end it. She didn’t even tell me the reason. She showed as if it didn't affect her, but it did. She’s not a natural happy anymore, its always like she’s forcing herself to be happy,” Alina explained.

 

I was so surprised and shocked. Poor Crystal.

 

"She feels as if she cannot trust anyone anymore," Alina finished.

 

"That's Salmon's loss. Crys is such a great girl," I said.

 

"Crys?" Alina asked with a suspicious smile.

 

"It's a nickname for her," I smiled. 

 

"Alright class, let's get to our chosen partners," the teacher had announced. Crystal had come over to me and was stumbling on the way. I had cached her before she had fallen.

 

"Are you okay?" I asked.

 

"Y-yes, I am fine," she relieved. 

 

She felt better doing the lesson. The whole day went by fast. We had left college early to collect some goodbye gifts for Mr Chen and his family, since they were leaving tomorrow. Crystal had picked up a unique diamond statue of a lion. It was a small house decoration piece. She got a travel safe card with a bouquet of white flowers.

 

"Ivan, don't you have football practice?" she asked.

 

"I do but I’m skipping it because I am not leaving you alone," I said.

 

"I've got plans with Alina so it's fine," she informed. I thought twice about this but it would be good if Crystal had some enjoyment time. I dropped her back home and headed back to college for my practice. 

 

 --------------------------------------- 

Crystal's POV:

 

I was getting ready for my evening out with Alina. I chose to wear a peachy strap crop top that said 'baby' with a black pleated mini skirt. I wore giant black heals and peach jewellery. I grabbed a peach purse and a peach phone case. I did the Mikey mouse hairstyle and applied peach lip-gloss with normal face makeup. Just as I had finished, Alina texted that she was waiting outside for me.

 

"Damn girl," she commented as I walked out. I twirled around.

 

"My best friend so pretttyyy," she giggled.

 

"Let's go," I said.

 

We had spent so much time on shopping, then played in the game centre and took photos in a photo booth. It was 8pm and we were at a Korean restaurant. We had ordered bulgogi (beef barbecue) and Ddukbokki (spicy rice cake) with 2 soda bottles.

 

"So Crystal, do you like Ivan?" Alina asked whilst we waiting for the food.

 

"No he's just a good friend to me," I giggled.

 

"I see," Alina commented. When the food arrived me both put a selfie of us with the food on our Instagram stories. By 10pm I was back at Ivan's house.

CHAPTER 15: His anger

I walked up to my room and found Ivan sitting on my bed in a bad mood. 

 

"Do you have any idea what time it is?!" he yelled.

 

"Duh, it's 10pm," I giggled. He walked towards me with anger. At first I thought he was messing around but then he grabbed me and pushed me against the wall.

 

"Can you be serious!" he yelled as his grip on my arms got harder.

 

"I-Ivan, let go. It's hurting," I said. He let go of me and took a deep breath. I walked away from him to my bed
