Chereads / My Secret Affair / Chapter 2 - New Friendship

Chapter 2 - New Friendship

I can't believe I am in this situation. I don't want to face her as I had bad impression about her. Wait, am I judging her too fast since I've never met her before.. at least I can conversate her to dig up the truth. She is quite beautiful girl with blond curly hair. Anyways, Jeniffer responded to James," I'm certainly fine thanks! Is she Rachel Taylor?" She directly pointed upon me and asked to James and he replied," Oh.., yes Jeniffer I want you to meet her. She's my girlfriend. Rachel, meet Jeniffer she's our senior here and you can say she's the boss here,hehe!" I was soo shock with his answer but I noticed James was tapping my shoulder and somewhat hinted like he's trying to help me out of this situation. I guess that was wise decision to stay out of limelight so I replied," Hi Jeniffer, nice to meet you. It's my first day here and he's very helpful to me. Ah well! Are you looking for me?" I could say that she looked kinda relief to hear James's answer, she said with a great smile," Oh it's nice that he is very helpful. You two look nice together. Anyways I thought you were trying to get close to my boy. Listen, Raymond is my boyfriend and I don't want you to be around him. I hope you clearly get me. Anyways nice to meet you too Rachel." And she quickly left. I said, "Wow! that girl has some nerve." James shyly said, " Sorry Rachel, I didn't mean to be like that. It's.. just that I don't want you to be hurt so I.." I told,"Please stop, don't say sorry as you helped me from her. What makes her think I'm gonna steal her boyfriend. I really don't want to mess with that girl. Anyways I'm better off myself. Thank you soo much James. You are so kind to me. Thank you!" He said," Well, then what is friendship for? I'm not your boyfriend but atleast we are friends right? so I can help you." I said," Oh James, you're soo sweet and yes! we are friends! Hip-hip Hooray!" I can say he was very nice and reliable guy. I am happy that I met a friend like him. I better try to avoid this drama so try to stay away from Captain Raymond.

We went to the canteen as James showed me the university it was quite big and beautiful. As we went to canteen, three students showed up to James and one of them said," Hey James! How are you bro? Who's this beautiful girl?" James looked to me with bit dilemma and said," Hey Troy, I'm good thanks! Meet Rachel she my classmate. It's her first day so I'm helping her out." He said," Hi Rachel, nice to meet you. I'm Troy and he is Max and.. She's Lily! We are all friends and welcome to our university. How do you like it?" We shook our hands and I said, "Thank you guys! It's very nice and big university. James is helping me out. He's very kind and thoughtful." Troy was very handsome with dark skin and was kinda leader of that little group (Hehe!). Max is a shy type of guy but he is quite cute. And Lily! She has small face with beautiful eyes and black long hair. As I was talking to Troy I noticed Lily, the other student friend was just staring at James and I saw James was kinda avoiding eye contact with her. So I said," I guess we could be good friends, right? Why don't we make some plans to decide what to do during our weekends?" Suddenly Lily was enlightened and said," Yes! That is a great idea. Of course, we are friends! We should!" Troy excitedly said," Guys why don't we go to hiking this weekend. It's going to be very fun and the weather is quite good." James responded with a smile," Well if everyone has agreed I suppose I don't have a choice." Finally Max spoke," Yes I'm in." So we all decided to go out for hiking this weekend and everyone looks happy atleast I have made some friends, all thanks to James.

As the break was over, we went back to our classes. I told James,"James, Thanks to you, I made some friends and it feels nice having someone to help. Really! Thank you so much James!" He said with a sigh," Mention not! Please stop to thank me all the time." Soon after a middle aged lady appeared in the class with a stick, papers and a note book in her hand. She was dressed quite elegant, besides her age - she still looks very fit and beautiful. She said with a smile," Everyone good morning! Today for the class we are going to revise the basic formation of music, here's the papers. Students please pass these papers behind keeping one each. Look and study the melody as we are going to perform in the Music Festival and it's next month. I'm gonna select some students for vocals and we are representing our university so we can't loose our chance." Everyone was surprised and she looked at me and asked," Oh dear, are you the new transfer student?" I stood up and said,"Yes ma'am! My name is Rachel Taylor! Nice to meet you." She said,"Sit down Rachel my dear, sorry I didn't notice you. Well I am Megan Jones, I am your Music Professor. Nice to meet you too young lady. Did you change your stream or you were learning something else dear before?" I replied," Thank you ma'am. No I used to be a Music Student back in Louisiana University. I transferred here as my father is a judge and he was posted here so I chose to study here." Professor Jones said," Very well dear, your father is a great man. Pay my respects to him. Okay, I suppose you have knowledge in music as you were Music Student before as well." I replied," Thank you. Sure! I will ma'am. Yes I do!" She said ," Then let's start with you."
