something seems off

Adeolu p.o.v

The drive to school felt so weird, I guess it will be weird since Ananya lost her memories. she looked very shocked when she saw me downstairs, I guess it's because am black-skinned or that I have a different accent from her.

when my family moved to England, as the new black kid in a school of mostly white kids I found it hard to make friends. I sat down during lunch alone until a red hair girl asked if she could next to me not knowing what to say I just nodded.

she tried to start a conversation with me, asking me questions like where am from or how am liking Korea lately, and at the end, she introduced herself as Ananya.

we exchanged phone numbers and asked me to call her if I had any problems then we parted ways.

"hmmm sorry excuse me can I ask you a question"

I turned to find a short girl with glasses talking to me.

"yeah sure ", I responded.

"are you related to ananya in any way ", she asked.

" no why are you asking "

"it's just that Ananya is the school's queen bee and she rarely talks to anyone outside her inner circle", the short girl added.

" Thanks for the tip, my name is Adeolu adejumo am new here and you"

"Lucille"

since that encounter Ananya and I went out together, slept over at each other's homes we were inseparable but now she seems to avoid having conversations with me and not with Margo.

"Adeeeeeeee we are at school", margo yelled.

" Sorry I seemed to have zoned off a bit, my bad", I quickly apologize.

"margo and Ananya see you during lunch", then I said goodbye to both the girls.

........................................

Ananya's p.o.v

" bye adeolu", I say as I hug her goodbye.

with Ade and my new brothers out of the way, we can finally discuss.

"margo if you want me to catch the criminal then I must plead for her memories can you do that ", I ask in desperation.

I am in front of my locker now and I see margo opening the locker next to me " wait how did I know that was my locker and how did I know it's the combination".

"I can only give you small of her memories like memories of her locker, dates with Nate but if you want to know Ananya you must call her", she says pointing to the invisible pink iPhone.

" call her", I ask.

"yeah but on your own, I can't help you in any way", she said before walking away from me.

" We have to get to class ", she yelled as I followed her.

we got to class late thanks to Marco but I was pardoned for some reason, I picked a seat in the front next to a boy whom I smiled at.

" good morning ", I say to him.

" good morning "

I looked away from the boy as the teacher calls for our attention to the board, my first class was literature.

I paid attention in class because I am a sucker for classics and Shakespeare.

"Ananya are you listening", my teacher Mr. Parker asks.

" yeah sorry sir"

"Just don't do it again as I was saying we are holding a school play on Romeo and Juliet and I would like for everyone to be involved"

"Have a nice day "

Before I knew it, I was in and out of all classes till it was lunchtime.

"Ananya", someone pulled me for a hug then I realized it was Nate.

" Nate hi ", I hug him back trying not to make this more awkward for the both of us.
