I told the cook that I didn't eat breakfast, out of pity she made noodles for me and they were smoking hott!! and good too. I couldn't save any for Liam though. I'm just too hungry. Another thing I love about this school is the food... Forget I said the cook sucks, it was a dare remember??
I try to forget but it just keeps playing and playing and playing no matter how good the food is. Crystal using me was just too sickening it made my tummy almost hurl
"Heyy" Liam said sitting down
"Heyy, look... I'm sorry " I said
Raising his brows he looked at me confused "why, for what? "
"You were right... About... About crystal" I said tears slowly forming in my eyes
"I saw her talking to Georgina some minutes ago, she talked about my punishment and that... And that... Georgina should do anything to make me unattractive to you" I said finally
"Is that what she said... Look at me" he said touching my cheek and making me turn to see those green eyes... "You will always look beautiful to me, no matter what you wear or when you cry ok? "He said seriously
OMG wow... Just.... wow..... What would I do without you Liam....
I couldn't find words to say so I just nodded and missed the warmth of his hand when he let go of my cheek
"I should have told you this before but I don't think it would have stopped this mess from happening. " he leaned back on his chair as if to brace himself for what he was about to tell me, then he composed himself and continued
"You see, me and crystal had a falling out before you came. After her previous boyfriend got suspended for unknown reasons she wanted me to take his place. I wasn't interested at the time so I declined. after that she developed a suldden hatred so much that she hated every girl around me. So when I saw you guys becoming friends I felt... Very un easy about it" the way he stretched his sentence made me believe he really was worried.
"You know, maybe all this was my fault... I should have warned you but I thought she had changed, but I was wrong " the way his fists tightened made me almost wince... Almost but I couldn't be afraid of him... Poor guy thinks its his fault...
Placing my hands on his I said what came from my heart "Its not your fault ok, everyone makes mistakes. Ok, If we had kept proper caution of our surroundings we would have noticed that the door wasn't closed. If I had ran a little bit faster maybe I would have caught her but all that is in the past now. We can't change what has happened but we can determine the future. It's what we do now to stop this punishment that matters cause I can't do another or bare to see my friends cry, instead I want to pay her back. So help me, help us... " he released his grip and looked at me then slowly he nodded.
"So what do you suggest we do" I asked
"You sure you don't want to still have her as a friend?, maybe talk to her about what you heard? " he asked. He was worried about me... But I was soo done with that b***h I didn't even want to see her pretty face anymore, all I wanted to see was a river of tears flowing all the way to the entrance of the home building and I was going to get my revenge. Nothing will stop me.
"Not anymore, for all I know she was playing me since day 1 putting on a phony smile around me like I meant something to her... Damn she didn't even tell me about her other friends and beau. I think I'll do just fine with the trusted friends I have" I smiled.
"Ok, now that I have your permission let me start. Do you know the annual history competition coming up on Wednesday??"
"Ah yes! the assistant to the head mistress announced it, she said we have to elect one of us we know is very active in history and they get to compete with the other classes in history. Mr. George does it in order to challenge our brains. If you ask me I think the exams and assignments are enough challenge for me" I shrugged
"Good. Atleast you know about the competition, now everybody knows Crystal likes to be number 1 in everything so that is what we will use as her weakness."
"So?? "
" So we get her to enter the competition, the assistant is the one who normally sets the questions, no one will tell you that but I know cause I've seen her. You will go with Nora and do a chit chat about the competition and how the questions are so simple its become almost predictable. knowing her, the assistant would make the questions more tougher than before... Then you guys have to convince Crystal not to study for the competition... Catch my drift? " he asked
"Wait a minute... If she doesn't read she won't be able to get the questions correctly and that would be a total embarrassment because the competition is in front of the whole school!!... Nice" I smiled
"That's right, the total payback" he said.
"You are such a genius... But how do we stop the punishments" I asked... We had the total payback all planned but we were still under her control.
"I'm sorry but you guys would have to give yourselves in... That's the only way " he said.
"So it has come to that huh... I guess there's no other way... I'll tell the girls about the plan. I'm sure they would be delighted. "
"Hold on a minute... There's one small problem though, how do we convince her to enter the competition and how do we make her not study?? " he asked
"Don't worry your pretty head about a thing... you've done enough already so let us handle the rest. By the way, Thank you... For everything " I said getting up
"My pleasure " he said and then he smirked.
What a smirk... No wonder everyone has eyes for him. I waved him and went back to my dorm. I prosponed my meeting with the girls because I was so tired so I just wanted to sleep. The noodles was just enough to sustain me till tomorrow so I didn't go for dinner. I just slept off like a baby...
