The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

_New day. _

“I called Irene yesternight but she didn’t pick, i guessed she was asleep” Arusha said to Olivia after she asked what Irish said about Jessica.

“Ohh” Olivia said.

“If she doesn’t come to school today, then something is definitely wrong” Arusha said.

They were yet to see Jessica.

“She must have been so affected by what happened… i understand” Olivia said.

“Uh… She’s here” Arusha said and Olivia raised up her head.

Jessica walked into the class and there was silence for a while before the students started murmuring and mocking her.

No one greeted her like they used to but she looked like she didn’t care.

She dropped her backpack in her locker and headed to her seat.

Surprisingly she wasn’t on make up and she still looked flawlessly beautiful.

Her hair was packed in a simple ponytail and she didn’t even had that arrogant look anymore. Her eyes met with Olivia’s and Arusha’s as she sat down.

“Woah” Olivia said.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“I’m wowed too, this is the first time i’ll be seeing her without make up” Arusha said.

“And she looked so beautiful still”Olivia said and Arusha nodded.

“Didn’t you see she’s changed a little… there’s something about her face that looked calm, did you noticed?” Arusha asked.

“Of course i did, i hope she has really changed though.. for better” Olivia said.

“I’m glad nothing seems wrong with her” Olivia said.

“Me too” Arusha said.

“Arusha,, come with me, Mr Natalie wants to see you” Mrs Gina Said as she rounded up her class.

Arusha got up and followed her.

Olivia started going through the subject all over again.

Mrs Gina has a way of explaining so fast.

She was halfway through it when she heard a familiar voice.

Cooler though.

“Hi” Jessica said and Olivia slowly raised up her head.

Jessica was standing before her, and Olivia wasn’t surprised.

“Hi” Jessica repeated.

“Hey”Olivia said.

“I know i should have waited till lunch break before doing this but.. i just have to do it now that i have the courage to. I’m so sorry” Jessica said.

“For?” Olivia asked.

“Everything” Jessica said.

“I’m not pissed at you over anything, Arusha is the one who deserves your apology” Olivia said. “I know, I’m gonna apologise to him too but do you think he’s going to forgive me?” Jessicaasked and Olivia smiled.

“Did you purposely waited for him to leave before coming?”

“Well.. yes” Jessica admitted, she’s so ashamed to face him.

“You think he might yell at you or something?” Olivia asked and Jessica nodded.

“He won’t, he forgave you already. He doesn’t hold grudge. I’m glad you finally snapped out of your oblivion Jessy”Olivia said.

“All thanks to you on that” Jessica said.

“All thanks to you too cause i feel no matter how much i speak to you, if you don’t want to change, you wouldn’t have. Change is a personal decision” Olivia said and Jessica thought she speaks so intelligently.

” I’m so happy i made you consider changing cause i couldn’t even imagine you going that way forever” Olivia sigh.

“I must have been such a bad girl” Jessica said.

“Yeah, you should be called bad girl Jessica” Olivia joked and they chuckled.

“Thank you” Jessica said and Olivia nodded.

Arusha walked into the class and was surprised to see them together, not only him was. The whole class was.

They’ve been monitoring Jessica’s every movement and they were so pained she didn’t seem to mind them.

Irish had actually told her not to mind them at all.

“So..” Jessica cleared her throat and rubbed the back of her neck.

“Do you still want to be my friend?” She asked Olivia nervously.

She would understand if she says no though.

“I have to go” Jessica said when she saw Arusha approaching and she had gotten to her seat before Olivia could stop her.

“Hey, what’s going on?”Arusha asked Olivia as he sat down.

“She came to apologise to me and she’s worried you might yell at her or not forgive her if she comes to you” Olivia said.

“Ohh… is that why she walked to her seat when she saw me approaching?” Arusha asked and Olivia nodded.

She noticed there was a different look in his eyes though, like he just discovered some piece of news he’s not happy with.

“And she asked me if I’m still interested in being her friend” Olivia said.

“Are you?” Arusha asked.

“Of course, she realised her mistakes already, she has turn a new leaf plus she’s so lonely. I wouldn’t want to make her feel bad by turning her down” Olivia said.

“That’s cool”Arusha said.

“And it’s time for me to also have a female friend, you have Ryan already” Olivia said and Arusha laughed.

“You have to stop getting jealous Olivia” He said.

“I’m not” Olivia said and Arusha arched a brow in disbelief.

He looked cute and Arusha felt her inside flutter.

“Anyway, i still remain your best friend, remember that” Arusha said and it was Olivia’s turn to laugh.

“You’re the one getting jealous here” She said.

“I’m not” Arusha said and Olivia shook her head in disbelief.

“Did Mr Natalie discussed anything with you?” Olivia asked and Arusha hesitated for a while before speaking up.

“Olivia, is there anything you aren’t telling me about you?” He asked and Olivia felt instantly alarmed.

“W.. what made you ask that? Did Mr Natalie told you anything?” Olivia panicked inwardly. “Not really… he only told me to protect you and i keep wondering why he said that” Arusha said.

‘fuck!’

“Could it be because of my phobia? He might be asking you to protect me from other students so they won’t find out and… ahh” Olivia sighed. She hated lieing to him but she has no choice here.

She doesn’t want anyone to know about her identity yet.

Arusha’s look showed he didn’t believe her and she felt so bad for lieing to him.

“Anything it is, you should tell me soon, i might get pissed when i find out myself. We’re friends and i told you everything about me already, it’s not nice to hide things about you from me when you already know everything about me ” Arusha said and all Olivia could do was nod.

He was obviously starting to suspect.

“I even asked you severally why you don’t have a last name but you refused to tell me” Arusha said unhappily.

“I’m sorry, I’m going to tell you everything once I’m ready to” Arusha said and he nodded..

“Hey, smile” She said and the frown left his face but he didn’t smile.

“Com’on” She whined and then starter tickling him.

“Okay.. St. op ” He said in between laughter.
