Married At Nineteen

Episode One

WINIFRED'S POV

"What's taking you so long Nelly?" I asked with a frown on my face. I'm standing outside the coffee shop and I've been waiting for almost an hour now, I love nelly so much and I would do anything for her and she knows that. I prefer being open with Nelly than Bianca and Stella. 'The Elite' is the name of the coffee shop, they sell toasted bread, delicious cookies and ice cream too. This is the only coffee shop that's close to my school, Nelly and I like it so much cause they've the best ice cream and smoothie here.

I'd lost my patience already so I angrily opened the car door and walked out, I didn't notice anyone walking towards my direction so we both bumped into each other. I was holding a water bottle in my hand earlier and it was still open, was going to drink it later but I kind of forgot. He just froze not uttering a single word for a while. I dropped the water bottle in a trash can and ran back to meet him, he was trying to clean his shirt but it seems the wet area was so obvious. "I'm really sorry."I apologized.

He finally raised up his head up to look at me properly, I had a clear view of is face now and I'd to admit that I've never seen any guy as good looking as this young man standing infront of me. The smile on my face turned into a frown when I saw the angry look on his face.

"You bumped into me and all you could say was sorry, who do you think you're?"He spat.

I twitched my brows and just stared at him in shock, "Young Man are you deaf or dumb?."I asked.

"And what's that supposed to mean? "He asked back with a confused look on his face.

"It's just a simple question"I corrected and he just walked closer to me.

"Don't think you're so smart high school girl, look at what you did to my shirt. I just got it today."

I scoffed. "So what if you bought them today? I apologized didn't I? What more do you want from me hah?."

"A lot of questions at once, you sure do talk a lot"He drawled and itched his eye brows.

"Here you go. I'm sorry"I apologized again, finally letting go of my pride. Today has to be a good day no matter what. I stretched my right hand towards him, my small white towel was in that hand. He took a step back and stared at the towel in my hand.

"What do you want to do with that?"He asked with a disgusted tone.

"To clean the wet Area- what else?"I answered with another question.

"You wanna use that dirty and germ infested towel to clean my cloth."

"What's your problem? Okay fine, I'll pay for the shirt"I offered. He just laughed hard.

"Can you afford this or do you think you're richer than I'm?."He Roared and I flinched. I frowned and stood at akimbo.

"And what makes you think I can't afford this?"I questioned.

"What's going on here?"Nelly asked,well I'd already seen her coming from a distance. Just a few more steps and she was finally standing in front of us, I took one of the smoothie in her hand and walked closer to his car and without thinking twice, I emptied all it's contents on the front of is car. Nelly just watched the everything with her mouth wide open.

He glared at me with his blood shot red eyes and bit is lower lip out of frustration, he walked closer to the front of his car and half of it was covered with smoothie. He sighed and looked away before he glared at me. "Who the fuck! Are you?"He asked, not taking his eyes off me.

I scoffed and walked majestically to where to he stood. I rested both hands on my waist and raised up my head to have a clear view of his face. "And who're you t ask me that question hah?!"I asked back ,he just stared at me in disbelief.

"Look here sugar queen...the next next time you would say something like this, I won't be so forgiving. Witch!"He warned.

"Do you know who I'm Romeo? And all of your little threats don't scare me."

"Girl like you aren't fit to be in this world"He grumbled before looking away.

"How do you feel after saying that? You know I barely know you but still, I hate you so much and you just ruined half of my day"I spat. I was so angry so I used my purse to hit his chest. He dragged the purse from my hand and used it to clean the smoothie stains on his car, he looked at one last time before throwing the purse on the dirt floor. I just watched him awe.

"And sorry to burst your bubbles but you're a pretty girl with no brain, girls like you Irritate me so much!"

"and guys like you Irritate me too, pray we don't meet again cause it wouldn't be good for the both of us if we did"I stared at my purse on the floor and it was stained with the contents of the smoothie I was holding earlier.

"But he is kinda cute"A voice said in my head. "Not now girlish thoughts"I exclaimed before walking away. Nelly just ran after me.

"What was that all about?"she asked me from a distance but I just ignored her.

Since it was our second day of resumption the class was kind of empty, seems everyone was still enjoying their summer holiday and they've totally forgotten about school. Nelly was standing by my side as we walked inside our new class room, everyone's eyes were fixed on us now. I smiled lightly and took my school bag from Nelly. I spotted Bianca and Stella sitting at the back, Nelly and I walked close to meet them. "Your always so beautiful Winifred, No wonder all the guys at school are tripping for you"Bianca complimented and I smiled.

"Same goes for you girl, you girls really do look beautiful but not as beautiful as me"I Bragged.

They all forced a laugh and smiled at me. "What took the both of you so long?"Stella asked with her eyes still glued to her phone.

"Oh! That, well one idiot just wanted my number and since I refused to...he decided to create a scene"I lied.

"Was that what really happened?"she asked with a confused look on her face.

I smiled lightly at her and sat down close to Bianca, "Of course that's what happened."

"Oh! okay"she Exclaimed.

"Is Hardin not coming to school today?"I asked while running my eyes around the class room.

"You still haven't gotten over Hardin yet and I thought you said you wouldn't bother him anymore."

"Stella I know I said all that but I can't just help it cause I love him so much!"I Confused.

"Awn you're in love girl!"Nelly teased. Bianca rolled her eyes and rested her hands on her desk. Hardin walked into the class and I just waved at him with a big smile on my face. He waved back at me and sat down close to Bianca and i.

"I missed you so much Hardin, and you really have gotten more handsome since the last time I saw you."

"Thank you so much Winnifred and same goes for you. Hmm Winnifred, can I talk you somewhere quiet later?"He asked and I Nodded.

"Oh My Gosh! I think he is gonna ask me out today. I'm so happy for you girl"Stella Exclaimed. Bianca hissed and walked out.

"What's up with her?"I asked sounding so worried.

"I really don't know but she's been acting weird and all of a sudden very rude. That's unlike her"Stella answered.

"we even saw her with Claire and Mandy earlier today."

"I'm not going to think about all that right now. I've got a good reason to be happy now."I said with so much excitement in my face.

An Hour Later...

School was over for the day and I wore my school bag properly over my shoulders and walked out to meet Hardin. "He was waiting for me, he sure looks so cute!"I said to myself. Hardin walked closer to where I was, immediately everyone's attention was fixed on us. Stella, Nelly and Bianca already walked out of the class room and Bianca was standing beside me.

Hardin held my hand and at that I thought my head was going to explode. "Winifred I've known you for a long time now and I'm aware of your feelings for me but I hope you don't get angry at what I'm about to say"He explained. I was the happiest girl in the whole world right now. I noticed his eyes were fixed on Bianca before he looked at me again.

"Saying it here in front of everyone I figured is the right thing to do, so Winnie I was going to ask for your consent...well I really don't know why but I wanted to tell you that I've been in love with Bianca for a while now and I was going to ask her to be my girlfriend."

I just froze because it felt like my heart had stopped beating and I could no longer breath. "you like her and not me, Hardin please don't do this to me"I cried and held his hand tight. He freed my hand from his and held her hands instead.

"I'm really sorry Winnie but please just be happy for me."

"Winifred let's go home...please!"Nelly cried and tried to drag me out but I was reluctant to go.

"Bianca will you be my girlfriend?"Hardin asked and she blushed hard.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend and I also feel the same way for you"She said and wrapped her arms around him. The whole school video the whole scene and winifred knew at that moment that her social life was over. A tear escaped from her eyes. "Hardin I love you so much! Please choose me instead. I'll do anything you want me to do"I cried.

"winifred you've to stop all this and accept the fact that I love someone else."

"Don't you get it, he doesn't love you so accept it and move on with your pathetic life. Loser!"she mocked.

"Bianca why would you say such a thing?"Nelly asked In disbelief.

I glared at Bianca, my heart was bleeding and for some weird reasons I felt Bianca and Hardin were already dating and just made all this up so I would be humiliated. After everything I'd done for her she still did this to me. Nelly just grabbed my wrist and dragged me away, I didn't resist this time cause I also want to get far away from here. "so this is what betrayal feels like?"I asked myself as we walked on. I'll never forgive her for this.
