• ” No,,,,,,”
• ” Let’s stay away from each other Lisa,,,I hate the fact that you always try to talk to me when Rowan is not there,, I hate the fact that you’re using me as your second choice,,good thing you chooses Rowan over me,,,I don’t care about that though. But just stop talking to me,,, ”
• ” I don’t want to stop talking to you,,please, am really sorry. I only did that to save you two from fighting, if I didn’t hold you back, you will hit him and he’s also going to hit you again,,it’s going to cause more harm than good,,, ” she said in tears
• ” I don’t care,,,you should go on and tell him it was you who touched me,so he won’t freak out that am making out with his crush” Michael said and walked out Leaving Lisa in a bad mood,,
• Was she wrong for holding Michael back?? Now he thought she was in support of Rowan hitting him
• ” It’s all my fault,,, it’s all my fault ” She said in tears

• ” It’s fine,,” Michael replied and picked a book to read
• ” What do you mean by you’re fine?? Your face is all red,,am coming,, am bringing ice ” She said and rushed out of the library
• Seeing her that way suddenly made him smile,, she really do care about him.
• Just then he discovered a step coming closer and he thought it was Vanessa but was surprised to see Lisa in front of him holding a iceberg.
• ” Am sorry Michael,, ” She said handing over the ice to him
• ” What are you doing here??” He asked and focus back on the book
• ” Your face is ,,,,,,,,I brought this so your face will heal up ” She said slowly
• ” I don’t need your help,,thank you ” Michael said
• ” Just take it,, please,,,, ”
• ” No Lisa,,, just leave me alone,please,,, am not being harsh,,but let’s not talk to each other again,,for real,,”
• Vanessa finally got back and was confused to see Lisa ,,
• ” What do you want?? ” she asked

• ” Yeah sure,,,we both live with my parents. ” Sharon replied
• ” your parents?? How about his parents?? ” Lisa asked
• ” I don’t like talking about this but,,,,I heard his parents died when he was just 4 years old though his parents and mine were really close,,so my parents brought us up as siblings even though we are the same age,,,,we found out just few months ago that he’s not actually my brother,, but nobody knows about this. So don’t tell anyone,, to Michael am his sister and he always protect me like a Brother should do. And same goes to me also,,I love him as my brother ” Sharon explained
• ” Wow,your parents must be really amazing,, ” Lisa said
