 Sadie was buying food from the cafeteria, she bought her usual always, but when she was about to pay she checked her pocket but she didn't see any money, she excessively check and check, again and again but couldn't find any .

 '' I swear i kept the money inside my pocket before i left home'' She said rechecking her pockets, she couldn't find it inside her pocket anywhere, so she gave up and decided to return the food but as she was about to give back the food, a hand reached out given money to the launch lady, Sadie looked at the person behind her and it was Billy, Her eyes widened in shock looking at him from that angle looked hot, she could feel butterflies but as she is who she is she brushed it off.

 '' Here take some, i am paying for her and mine'' Billy said handing over the money. The launch lady collected the money and gave him the change which he gave to Sadie.

 '' Thanks Billy'' Sadie said as they take their seats.

 '' You're welcome!, am always happy to help you'' Billy said and winked and Sadie smiled.

 '' Aren't you a senior what are you doing here?'' Sadie asked.

 '' yes i am but you're the only person i get comfy with,'' he said and she could feel her cheeks turning red '' aren't you happy to see me?'' He asked.

 '' i didn't say that'' Sadie answered sipping her drink.

 '' Any news?'' Billy asked munching on his food.

 '' Yes....actually Rose is missing,'' Sadie said her voice barely above a whisper. Billy, Hearing that, eyes widened he choked and Sadie handed him water, he drank and gave it back.

 ''Sorry... are you ok?, why did you choke?'' Sadie Asked concerned.

 '' I thought she left, i have to tell Sadie if not she will find out herself and we will have a problem'' Billy thought.

 '' What are you thinking about?'' Sadie asked.

 '' Nothing is just that.... yesterday... Rose wasn't missing like that she came to my house'' Billy spilled out, Sadie shocked asked.

 '' What?!'' Sadie asked confused. Billy sighed.

 '' keep it down, i will tell you everything, here is how it happened'' Billy started. '' That night i went home after getting beaten and brutally hit by the people at the hospital, i went home crying and wincing in pain. I was applying ointment when.....'''

 FLASH BACK>>>

 Knock!, Knock!, Billy heard a knock on his door as he was applying ointment to his wounds and bruises, he annoyingly opened the door, shirtless and was surprised who was there. 

 '' Rose? what are you doing here?'' Billy asked She just shushed him held his hand, entered the house and pinned him on the door that she closed.

 '' Keep your voice low... i came here no one knows'' Rose said in whispers, she didn't let go until when Billy squeals because of pain, that's when she realized his shirtless body was covered in wounds and bruises. Rose did not think much she slowly pulled him and sat him on the couch, she grabbed the ointment and began to apply it on him carefully.

 '' Ouch!'' Billy winced.

 '' Does it hurt?'' Rose asked concerned blowing his wounds.

 '' Why are you here?'' Billy asked confused.

 '' i came here because i couldn't stand you getting humiliated and brutally beaten in my front and i didn't help'' Rose replied calmly.

 '' And how is Sadie is she ok?, is she going to be fine?, i hope nothing happened to her, I'm actually glad you came, tell me in which state is she in'' Billy asked hurriedly and concerned for Sadie. 

 '' Why Billy?, i came all the way at night just for you and you're concerned about only Sadie?, but if you must know she's fine, she has been discharged, her head was only injured.'' Rose said playing out a little sign of jealousy.

 '' Thank you for the information, and thank you for coming here for me'' Billy said. '' You're most welcome Billy, there i have finish applying it on you you can put your shirt back on don't stay there looking all good looking'' She said adding a little jock and Billy puts his shirt back on, smiling.

 ''Thank you again Rose, i really appreciate what you did to me'' Billy said smiling thankful.

 ''It's ok.... are you hungry?'' Rose asked smiling, Billy just nodded slowly.

 END OF FLASHBACK>>>

 ''After we finished eating food, it was already late and it was time for bed Rose slept in the guest room where You slept, because she obviously can't sleep with me'' Billy said explaining.

 '' She even have the audacity to go to Billy's house and sleep where i slept before'' Sadie thought her eyes fuming with unreadable rage. 

 '' Sadie are you ok?'' Billy asked waving his hand in front of Sadie's face.

 ''I'm fine...'' Sadie replied.

 '' she even said she will come back today, actually we are going out today don't look for me, or try to reach me i might not pick up or be available'' Billy said.

 '' Where will you guys be going?'' Sadie asked.

 '' Oh to that new Arcade next town, then to the Amusement park'' Billy answered every words with a smile.

 '' Can i come too?'' Sadie asked quickly.

 '' I mean if you want to then you can come'' Billy said, stood up and left.

Sadie clutching her fist in anger grinding her teeth stroking her hair aggressively thought in her mind.

 '' Why is he taking her to the arcade i always wanted to go?, no Rose i will not let you take Billy away from me , not as a lover but as a friend'' Sadie thought.

 '' Sadie are you okay? are you feeling better?'' Amelia asked as both her and Sadie walk out the school gate.

 '' i am ok.... but i can see you've been ignoring me now'' Sadie said.

 ''it's nothing is just some family issues... my dad'' Amelia replied looking down as they walk down the street. '

 '' Amelia if you had known what i have been through since when my family got killed by your dad, you will have ran away from me'' Sadie thought keeping a smile on her face.

 '' Sadie Rose got missing yesterday but she came back today this morning'' Amelia said.

 ''Oh really? am glad she's back'' Sadie replied Amelia smiled and nodded .And soon they arrived at the end of the street where they always part ways, bidding each other farewell they went their ways.

 '' Amelia is ignoring me now, why? what is happening?'' Sadie thought.

 '' And Billy too, no i will not let him go alone with that Rose i must go with them'' Sadie said in her mind her face looking determine and angry.

 She soon arrived home, she didn't waste anytime, she went straight to her room, when she opened her door slowly and what she saw scared her like literally , she shouted jump scare but it was just Amanda.

 '' Amanda what are you doing here?'' Sadie asked, holding her chest breathing heavily.

 '' Relax i came here to gist'' Amanda replied, Sadie raise one of her eyebrows entering the room and closing the door behind her.

 ''You have friends, Nena and who is the other one? Jennie, and your boyfriend you have them go gist with them '' Sadie said crossing her arms and moving forward to her wardrobe.

 '' Well actually, Nena travelled and Jennie stopped being friends with me, Faiza became a bad friend, we broke up with Jason, and my dad is so obsessed with his business, so you see you're the only person i have, my enemy'' Amanda said keeping her voice low and soft the whole time. Sadie froze for some time before continuing to look for the best outfit in her closet.

 ''That's really sad Amanda, but i too have to go, we are going some where me and Billy'' Sadie said and then she found the perfect outfit for her , a short brown beautiful new dress and a blue jacket with white shoes more like boots.

 '' You are going out with Billy? is he out of the friend zone already?'' Amanda asked excited, while Sadie puts on her cloth and simple make up, she dressed her hair beautifully and made it smell good, putting on necessary accessories that matches the vibe, her brown dress. 

 '' You look nice'' Amanda said.

 '' shut up'' Sadie replied avoiding compliments.

 ''Really you look great'' Amanda said again.

 '' Thank you Amanda sorry but i have to go'' Sadie said feeling bad.

 '' I's okay, you really love Billy, i won't mind i will just use your computer here.'' Amanda said pointing at the computer. And then a car horn followed, it seems Billy is here to pick up Sadie, she excitedly climbed down from her window not wanting trouble from Mary, and quickly enter the car after waving at Amanda who waved back and then they drove off.

 '' wow! she seems excited, i hope she will be happy '' Amanda thought.

 '' Oh well let's listen to soda pop, i hope she has data'' Amanda thought already on the computer and started singing which her voice isn't bad.

 Billy was driving, Rose was at the front seat while Sadie is at the back, the front seaters chat leaving Sadie rethinking her decision, of coming with them just to get ignored.

 ''Billy where are we going?'' Rose asked with a cute face which Sadie found annoying as she gave a disgusting look.

 ''it's a surprise'' Billy replied.

 '' we are going to the Arcade and amusement park'' Sadie said nonchalantly, intentionally destroying the fun.

 '' Billy why did you bring her here? i thought it was only for the both of us'' Rose complained glancing at the back, Sadie looked at Billy hoping for some support but it got shattered.

 '' Do not worry she will not disturb us, she will you know... as she is always, she will be on her own'' Billy responded and Rose giggled.

 ''First she is sitting on the front seat and now she's talking nonsense and the fool is not defending me, maybe he is just pretending? maybe he is not.'' Sadie thought.

 '' ok here we are'' Billy said and the car stopped, and they all looked at the arcade big and beautiful in front of them, got off the car, they ran in with no hesitation. Billy spotting a toy machine dragged Rose to get her a toy, leaving Sadie alone, it took some seconds for her to notice and she ran after them.

 '' Get me this one'' Rose said jumping holding Billy's hand pointing at a cute pink teddy bear. Sadie glanced at their hands and felt more jealous. And Billy really got Rose the toy , seeing that, Sadie asked for her own.

 '' Where's mine?'' she asked and Billy turns to her and gave her a coin.

 '' here win it'' Billy said and dragged Rose to another place, Sadie was left there her mouth open and her hands only holding the coin, she shakes her head but had no choice but to win on her own and she did, a cute elephant and followed, they where already having fun, playing a game for two.

 '' Billy can i play?'' Sadie asked.

 '' you would if you can but only two people could play the game, only me and Billy'' Rose said not exactly harshly but for Sadie those words cut like razors.

 '' we can play another game, next time'' Billy said and Sadie nodded feeling sad, embarrassed and abandoned.

 '' Billy let's go to that other toy machine '' Rose said pointing at another machine and of course, Billy went , won it for her and then gave Sadie a coin but she could only keep it for future use, all she has is an elephant stuff animal and Rose has half of Billy's love.

 '' Let's go to the Amusement park now'' Billy said to both Rose and Sadie and they left for the car and drove to the Amusement park, it was huge and has many rides, snack bars, ice cream, and many fun stuffs. They walked in hand in hand inside, well at least Billy and Rose did , Sadie just followed them.

 '' Wow Billy look at that ride, let's go Billy'' Rose said jumping up and down, Billy smiled as if he known her for long.

 ''oh wait i did not get to compliment you, your hair looks beautiful and smells nice'' Billy said smiling. Rose swayed her hair and laugh.

 ''thank you, your hair is beautiful too'' Rose said scattering Billy's already messy but nice hair, and they went to get tickets.

 ''what about my hair?, he did not even compliment me about mine?'' Sadie said and quickly rushed to them.

 '' we want three ticket to the Monster train Ride'' Billy said giving money and receiving the tickets, when they went to the ride it looked fun but scary, something Sadie would like but Rose wouldn't.

 ''ah ah Billy i will pass on this one, you and Sadie should go'' Rose said letting go of Billy's hand '' it's just looks scary, i hate scary'' Rose added.

 ''Are you sure?'' Billy asked.

 ''of course she is'' Sadie said dragging Billy for the ride.

 '' you wait here do not go anywhere'' Billy shouted as Sadie dragged him, she felt a little happy again. They hoped on the ride and followed the instruction, the ride was so scary that only screams were heard, Sadie was just happy she is riding with only Billy, holding hands as they scream, but she became sad when the ride ended, Immediately Billy went to Rose and she handed him a bottle of water as he pants, followed by Sadie behind him.

 ''Thank you'' He said taking the water. Sadie taps Billy from the back.

 '' i need water too,'' she said panting and he gave it to her she drank all. 

 ''Billy... I'm really hungry, why don't we go eat'' Rose said.

 ''I'm hungry too Billy'' Sadie said holding her stomach.

 ''ok let's go'' Billy said entwining with Rose, Sadie got pissed with what she saw and seize the opportunity to hold Billy's hand too. Billy was being dragged from every side.

 ''Let's eat Billy...i saw one place over there it's like a small restaurant over there let's go there'' Sadie said and they went and ate . After that, the fun was over , Rose has a total of 15 stuff animals and snacks, while Sadie has only her elephant with her, it started to get dark not night, rain and they decided to go home. But something chilling happened their car brock down in the middle of the road it was technically Rose's car, they were glad it stopped on the street with car passing by.

 ''what are we going to do?, it will rain soon'' Sadie asked.

 ''Let's get a Taxi'' Rose suggested and Billy went with her idea. He booked a Taxi, and it came after 3 minutes.

 ''Rose, Sadie let's go..'' Billy said and as they were about to enter,, the Taxi driver stopped them.

 ''Wait i only allow two people in my taxi'' The driver said.

 ''But we booked for three people'' Billy said.

 '' didn't you read the label?'' The driver asked.

 '' that's stupid...'' Sadie said annoyed. Billy turns to Rose and Sadie not wanting to choose between the both of them so he asked.

 ''what are we going to do now?'' Billy asked.

 ''Go with Rose, actually you planned to come only the both of you but i interfered in your fun so you can go, my house isn't that far i will just find another Taxi'' Sadie said not looking at the both of them her hands crossed.

 '' I will not leave you here Sadie'' Billy said '' you're my friend'' he added and Sadie smiled.

 ''just go am tough, i will manage on my own'' Sadie said.

 ''come on Billy she said she can handle, let's go, she will be alright'' Rose said and Sadie looked at her. Her blood was boiling with anger.

 '' are you sure?'' Billy asked concerned. Sadie nodded slowly and whispers '' Just go''.

 '' You're wasting my time'' the driver said '' it's going to rain be fast'' he added.

 '' wait a minute'' Billy said to the driver and turns to Sadie '' Take care'' he said and entered the car with Rose and they drove of. Sadie scoffs watching them drove off.

 ''That is the most stupid idea, i have ever made, i thought acting all sympathetic will do but i am left here, he didn't even say i won't go without you let's go together, he just left, fool'' she said hitting her head with her hand. Then she got and idea.

 '' Let me text Amelia to come pick me up'' She said pulling her phone from her dress which has pockets.

 ''Amelia, i am here on the street alone, come pick me up please'' She texted and waited, and soon a notification comes in.

 '' Sorry...am busy'' Amelia texted with a sad emoji and Sadie lost it she stomped her feet and puts her phone away.

 '' i asked her so nicely and she is busy, what's important then your best friend?'' Sadie said angrily. But she cooled down and sighed then she looked up to already almost will rain sky.

 ''well at least it's not raining now'' Immediately after she said that you know it's started raining '' i should not have said that'' She said regretfully covering her head with her jacket. She decided to just walk home, the rained showered over her , she was shivering, her hair wet, her jacket obviously wet, everything was wet. Her cheeks got red and her legs was shivering until she went home, Water was dripping on the floor everywhere, Amanda was still in her room this time sleeping as Sadie went in to freshen up. After changing her cloth she hopped on her bed laying down on her stomach and face, Amanda heard something as if someone was sobbing she woke up and found Sadie on her bed crying, she stood up and sat beside her making her look up. 

 When Sadie saw Amanda close to her, she quickly wipes her tears, and place a smile.

 '' You're still here? why haven't you gone home?'' Sadie asked sniffing.

 ''I guess i slept...After listening to some music'' Amada said and Sadie nodded.

 ''then go home..'' Sadie said.

 ''in the rain oh hell nah....'' Amanda replied '' in fact am here to ask, how did the outing go?'' She asked curious acknowledging Sadie's red cheeks.

 ''so...what do you want?'' Sadie asked looking the other way.

 '' How did the outing went?'' Amanda asked clearly wanting to hear positive answers, but Sadie kept quiet, Amanda did not give up she starred until Sadie couldn't hold back any more.

 ''it didn't end well'' Sadie said crying and hugs Amanda.

 ''don't cry, don't cry...tell me why did you say that?'' Amanda said holding Sadie's face and making her look at her.

 ''he ignored me the whole time....he only focused on Rose, he only got me that elephant stuff animal and he got her almost twenty, he rode home with her, and left me to get drenched in the rain. And that stupid Amelia said she was too busy to come pick me up'' Sadie said crying even more.

 '' Billy did that? i could not believe that, with Rose even. No Sadie they must be a reason, and Amelia is your best friend how could she do that?' Amanda asked concerned laced in her voice.

 '' i don't know, i just kept feeling something in my heart, every time i look at them holding hands he even complimented her hair without noticing mine that i dressed beautifully and made it smell good'' Sadie said wiping her tears, Amanda hands her a tissue to wipe her nose and tears.

 ''That pain you felt is call jealousy and it only happened when you love someone, since Billy is your friend you're not supposed to feel jealous'' Amanda explained.

 ''Then why did i felt jealous?'' Sadie asked in whispers to hear.

 ''You love him, you love Billy with all your heart not as a friend more then that you just love him and can't stand seeing him with another girl'' Amanda said Sadie's mouth were just wide open.

 ''i...i...me love him? no.... i don't..... stop talking nonsense Amanda'' Sadie said stuttering not wanting to believe her feelings. And then the rain stopped and Amanda noticed.

 ''See the rain stopped!, i should get going now before my parents begin to to get worried that am gone'' Amanda said ''Today they are less busy so... they will notice that am gone'' she added.

 ''Ok... Amanda you can go!'' Sadie said softly and Amanda stood up, she spotted the elephant stuff animal she picked up and turns to Sadie.

 ''This elephant will make you understand what i mean'' Amanda said and threw it at the bed close to Sadie and left through the window, well because of Mary. Sadie takes the stuff animal and hugs it thinking.

 ''I don't understand he said he hates Rose then why did today....maybe it's part of his plan i should not worry'' She said making positive thoughts.

 ''And then they geos Amanda's talk is she right?. Do i love...him?, No. Just because i got jealous they were holding hand chatting, he complimented her hair..'' Sadie said and paused then smiled.

 '' Although i feel safe when am with him, his eyes is like paradise, i live in his smile, i sometimes feel nervous around him but had to keep that tough exterior,'' She said smiling. 

 '' Maybe i do love him, thinking about him just made me smile without any reason'' she said holding the toy much more tighter and closer.

 '' Maybe i do have feelings for him but how did i..? that dream i had most be connected'' Sadie thought.

 ''But still am his friend why did he chose to care more about Rose then me today i felt really jealous, let tomorrow come i will talk to Amanda about this'' Sadie thought in her mind.

 Billy was in his couch starring at the ceiling blankly recalling and remembering everything that happened that day,

 '' I know Sadie must be mad at me right now, but i can't tell her that i love Rose or she would kill her and me'' Billy thought feeling sad.

 '' i did not know how i fell in love with her, is it her hair? or her beautiful smile?, i don't know, Sadie is my best friend, my partner in crime, she changed my life but why did i fall in love with Rose instead of her'' Billy thought throwing a pillow on the ground.

 '' Even though Abeer liked her, and ended his life for her, doesn't mean she killed him, and it's not everything you exact revenge on, I'm not like Sadie i don't hold grudges for so long'' Billy said '' but Rose woke up a part of me i thought never existed, although i use to have a crush on Sadie i fell in love with Rose instead, i don't know how, I'm so confused'' Billy said getting up to get some water, to clear his mind.

 '' I haven't tell her that i liked her, i did not tell Sadie that i love her so that means i don't, but i will tell Rose that i love her before is too late, i have to make plans, and Sadie must not know or she would explode'' Billy said thinking of what Sadie might do '' i have to think of a plan'' He thought.
