Elina held Jennifer's hand until they went to the exam hall. Cassie who was standing near the entrance, said "Hi"
"Hi, I want to talk to you alone for a minute" Jennifer removed Elina's hand forcefully and held Cassie's hand while pulling her away.
Elina felt too hurt and tears rolled down her eyes. She silently went inside the exam hall and sat on her assigned seat. Her eyes kept roaming around the entrance impatiently.
Jennifer had never hidden anything from her before and the way she is behaving now made Elina feel even more guilty. She knew she had done something unforgivable and she can never turn back the time to correct it.
Elina held her face in between her hands as she tried to hide the tears which were now flowing uncontrollably. Why did she make such a mistake when she knew that it would hurt her as well as everyone else around her?
When Jennifer pulled Cassie's hand, Cassie felt happy as she already noticed how Jennifer ignored Elina right from the time she got down from the chairman's car.
Even though she felt like jumping up and down from the joy she felt, Cassie controlled her feelings with great effort and asked Jennifer, "What is going on? Why are you ignoring Elina?"
"Nothing is going on. Just that I want to ask for a favor from you. Cas, I have never asked anything from anyone until now but I want to ask of something from you. Will you promise me that you will do it for me?"
Jennifer hesitatingly asked, while looking at Cassie with lots of expectation. Cassie wondered what is this all about? If she never asked for a favor from anyone then why the hell is she expecting from me all of a sudden.
This better not be about taking care of Elina or else I would just really take care of Elina and finish her off for once and for all. Even after waiting for a long time, Jennifer did not receive any response from Cassie.
"Please! This is not something serious, it is just a simple task. I would ask Elina to do this but after what happened to her a few days ago, I couldn't bring myself to ask her for help," Jennifer held Cassie's hands while almost begging her.
"Ok! Fine. Tell me what I should do!" Cassie withdrew her hands. Then she held Jennifer's hands while patting the back and looking at Jennifer with kindness.
"I need you to deliver this message somewhere. I have written the address and the name of the person you should deliver this on the backside of the envelope. Please make sure to give it to that person alone and no one else" Jennifer said with a smile as she hoped that her message would be delivered appropriately.
"Is it just this? I thought it was something serious. Do not worry I will go once the exam is over and will deliver it to that person" Cassie said.
"Thank you!" Jennifer felt relieved.
"Oh! Come on! What are friends for? How can I not even do such a small favor? Do not worry! I will take care of it" Cassie assured her and turned around to enter the exam hall as it was almost time for the exams to start.
When Elina saw Cassie and Jennifer enter one after another, she felt slightly jealous but also helpless. All she wanted to do now was to hide somewhere so that she could not see her friend's face.
She wiped her face and lifted her head to smile at Jennifer and Cassie but both of them ignored her once again. They both went to sit on their respective allotted seats. Looking at her friend's seats from where she was sitting, Elina felt like her friends had moved very far from her.
She wondered if they would ever be able to go back to how they used to be like before! Elina knew she was at fault for sleeping with her best friend's boyfriend but the horrible feeling she was having after being ignored by her two friends made her feel even worse.
Elina held her head down and she could not even concentrate on what she wrote on her exam papers. She finally gathered her courage and decided to be open with Jennifer, so that she could tell her the truth about what happened between her and the chairman Jayden.
Jennifer finished her exams before everyone and left immediately. Once she was out of the exam hall, she saw Aiden standing in front of his car. Being a chairman does allow him to park his car wherever he wants to.
"Let us go" Jennifer climbed on to his car and said.
"I am not your personal Chauffeur! I came here to do work and not to pick you up." Aiden barked while his eyes roamed around in search of Elina.
"If you did not come to pick me up, then it is fine. I will stay in the dormitory for the time being." Jennifer took her belongings and tried to get down from the car.
Aiden rushed forward and held her hand and pushed her into the car.
"You better stay inside. Do not test my patience. I already warned you before but let it rephrase it once again. If you ever try anything funny, then I cannot promise your parent's safety."
"What? What did you do with my parents now? It was my friend before and now even my parents? Have you gone mad?? Did I not marry you already, so that you can fulfill your crazy wish? Why are you trying to drive me to an edge? What have I ever done wrong?" Jennifer said and rushed towards him while trying to punch his face.
Aiden swiftly avoided it and held both her hands behind her back. At that time, Elina came rushing out to talk to Jennifer. From there she saw Aiden holding Jennifer from behind romantically and they were engaged in doing something naughty.
Elina's heart broke and the tears which she was trying to hold back from the morning came bursting out. When Jennifer and Aiden heard someone's yelp, they both turned around.
Jennifer wanted to rush there but Aiden held her hands and once again pushed her inside the car while locking the door. He went around and started the engine. Once he looked at his rearview mirror and then he hit the gas.
The car flew away in a minute leaving dust behind. Elina who raised her head saw them leave and she held her chest tightly. It pained a lot worse than she imagined it would.
Cassie who just came out saw this and had a devilish smirk on her lips. Then she hurriedly fixed her expression and came towards Elina. She lifted her up and hugged her.
"Shhh! Shh! It's ok now! It is ok! Do not cry, my baby. Please don't cry" Cassie pretended to comfort Elina.
"I am sorry Jennifer, I am so sorry! I should have not done that! I did such a bad thing to you when you were such a sweet person. I am sorry! I should have not slept with Jayden! Why did I do that? Why?" Elina, while leaning against Cassie blurted out which she thought to tell Jennifer before anyone would know.
Cassie pushed her back and asked while being in shock, "What? What did you do?"
Elina lifted her head up and said, " I.. I … Slept..."
Before she could even finish, a hard slap landed on her face. Cassie without even realizing what she was doing, just slapped Elina hard.
'Why? Why? Why does no one in your family can ever do anything good at all? Your father killed my whole family while you even tried to destroy your friend's happiness? How does your family even sleep at night?' Cassie wanted to shout at her but she controlled her temper.
Instead, she pointed at Elina and said, "You better tell Jennifer about it before she gets serious about her relationship with our chairman Jayden. I do not know what I should say any more to you. You are definitely an utter disappointment"
"I am sorry! I am sorry" Elina held Cassie's legs while squatting on the ground.
