SINGLE FOR LIFE.

"Wait, did you say her name is Mary?"

"Yes"

"That bitch"

"Wait, you know her?"

"Yes, she has been pretending to be Eric's friend since we moved here; I even hate her more than I do Becky."

"Brianna, you hate everyone in this school, except for me, of course, and your brother."

"Actually, I hate Eric too."

"I know you love him, so stop acting like you don't." I know I love Eric, but at this moment, I don't.

"I used to love him; as long as he is going to date that Mary girl, I am not going to love him, even though he is my brother and he always has my interest at hand."

"Why are you acting like you are jealous of Mary because she might steal the attention you are getting from Eric?"

"But wait, are you on my side or hers?"

"As much as I hate the fact that Eric said I am like his sister, which means he sees me the way he sees you, just the thought of that is making me sad."

"That's more reason you need to keep fighting until Eric notices you; I don't want any other person around him but you."

"Thanks, Brianna, but the heart is sometimes very hard to understand. The person you like won't even feel the same for you."

"I need to go see Eric."

"Why?"

"To get Grandma's chocolate back, he doesn't deserve to eat a bit of it."

"No, please, Brianna, let him have it."

"Okay"

"I need to join business class; I will see you later," she said immediately. I headed towards Eric's class and found him chatting with Mary.

"Oh, hi, Brianna," Mary greeted me, but I passed her without bothering to look her way.

"Where is it?" I asked Eric, who was looking at me totally confused.

"Where is what?" Eric asked, but I didn't bother answering him. I took his bag, found the chocolate, and took it.

"Brianna, Gia gave me that chocolate, and I am not letting you take it."

"I will like to, but you don't deserve to eat this."

"Why, I don't get it?" He asked with that annoying smile on his face.

"You don't need to know why."

"Then you are not leaving here with my chocolate."

"Catch me if you can," I told him, and I ran out but ended up bumping into someone. I looked up to see Dax standing right in front of me.

Again, why can't I bump into someone else? I haven't gotten myself to see him as a bad person yet, but I am still curious about him.

"Brianna, are you okay? How come you don't always look where you are running?" He asked with a smile on his face before he gave me his hand to help me up.

"Actually, I think you are always the one on my way," I replied to him as he helped me up. Just then, Eric walked up to me and took the chocolate from me.

"I can let you have anything but this chocolate," Eric said, patting my head before he left.

"I will get back to you," I told him before he walked away.

"Are you always like this with your brother?" Dax asked.

"It is worse than this." I replied, and just then a girl walked into the class with tears in her eyes. I was surprised when she walked up to Dax.

"So I didn't mean a thing to you?"

"I didn't say that; I only said we were both having fun." I was surprised by the event; I didn't really believe I was going to witness this again. When it was Becky, I thought maybe it was just Becky, but I guess it isn't.

"You know what? You are just a fool," the girl said, slapping Dax across the face. I looked around and found some students videoing the event.

After the girl stormed out of the class, I just stood staring at Dax. What is up with this guy and girls having to hit him all the time for dumping them, and he always has one thing to say, which is that we were both having fun? How can he toy with people's emotions like that?

I walked out of the class confused and angry. I went in search of Gia and found her waiting for me outside our class.

"Brianna, where have you been?"

"I went to Eric's class, and it happened again."

"What happened again?"

"Dax, he treated another girl like she was nothing, the way he said we were both having fun, like she was a thing he was passing time with."

"Dax is a jerk; that's one of the reasons why I am crazy about your brother; he treats girls the way they are meant to be treated."

"Yeah, because I am very sure that all his life he has seen how my dad treated my mum like a queen. That was the reason he protects me so much."

"I will forever love Eric," Gia said with a smile on her face.

"Okay, that's enough. I hate it when you smile like that after looking so sad a few hours ago. I thought you were over with him."

"You thought wrong; I don't think I am ready to get over him yet."

"Whatever, so are you in the school group?"

"No, I never bothered entering since I heard it wasn't fun."

"In that group, all videos or gossip are being shared there, right?"

"I guess, but what are you up to?"

"Nothing; I just want to figure something out."

"Okay, let's go home. I went to eat your mum's food before I go home. And besides, I saved some chocolate for her."

"Fine, let's go."

A week after the incident, I started seeing Dax with a new girl. I decided to set off a bomb and see when it would explode. I was also able to convince Eric to add me to the school group.

I only joined to watch more videos about Dax, but it seems like the only video about him was the very one I witnessed. I don't know why, but I just find myself getting involved in his life.

Eric had to travel for a week for his upcoming exam to see if he would be accepted at his new college school.

I was so happy with a whole week of freedom that I can finally go out freely without having Eric interfere with it. Well, mum is not going to complain as long as I am with Gia.

I decided to spend the rest of the week at Gia's place. I got up this morning with a bright smile on my face. Today is going to be awesome. No Eric to disturb me for a whole week.

While I was happy and all, Gia was unhappy and didn't want to go to school. She kept singing in my ears to call Eric.

"Gia, if you don't start dressing up, we are going to miss our bus."

"But I don't want to go."

"Gia, get up this instant," I said, sounding like my mum when she was trying to persuade me to go to school.

"Then will you call Eric?"

"How about I give you his number?"

"No, it is not going to be right if I just call him out of the blue, but if you call him, it will just be like a sister checking on his brother."

"Oh, really, how about you call him and tell him that Gia, you know, the girl that is just like a sister to him, just called to check on him? Now go take your bath. Let's get going."

"Fine, you are no fun."

"I know"

I went downstairs and found our breakfast already on the table. I sat down and started eating as I waited for Gia.

I made sure I looked my best while walking in the school hallway. I was being stared at. I mean, I took my time to look good this morning.

"Hey Brianna"

"Hi, am I sorry? Do I know you?" I asked the guy in front of me. I don't think I have seen this face before.

"I'm Jake I just started yesterday."

"Wow, welcome to Freedom High School."

"Thanks, so can you show me around?"

"Sure, but how come you know my name?"

"I just heard your friend call you Brianna and decided to use it. It is a very beautiful name."

"Thanks"

"So I will see you during the break time."

"Yeah, see you later." He waved me off and left. Wow, he is so cool.

"Who was that guy?" Gia asked. I thought she left to see our English teacher.

"A friend," I said with a smile on my face.

"Are you sure about that? The smile on your face is so cool."

"His name is Jake, and he wants me to show him around the school later."

"So that means you are planning on leaving me all by myself."

"You will be fine. Come on, I need to find someone who will ask me to prom. It's just two weeks until the party."

"But I thought I was going to go with you; this is not fair. But wait, Eric is not going to let Jake take you; the only reason you are even talking to him is because Eric is not here."

"Gia, I am almost seventeen, so why can't I go to prom with a guy?"

"Like you said, you are almost seventeen; you are still sixteen. Even if you are up to seventeen years old, I still don't think Eric will let any guy besides you. You, my friend, are going to be single for life," Gia said, waving her head with a pitiful expression on her face.

"If I am going to the prom single, then so is Eric."

"Don't worry, I will help you out."

"Wipe that expression off your face; you are sounding like it is the end of the world. Eric will soon go to college, and I will have at least two years to date any guy I want before I move to college."

"I hope so."

Gia said, still keeping that expression on her face. I wanted to make her see that I could make my own choice with or without Eric, but she wouldn't listen.

Just then, our English teacher entered the class, and we all went to our seats. During the teaching, I couldn't focus; all I was hearing was Gia's words, You will be single for life.
