JEREMIAH'S P. O. V.
"Yes Melantha, That's a contract."
"Well what are we gonna do? I don't understand." She looked at me innocently and tilted her head.
I cleared my throat before explaining it calmly. "This time, I'm asking you a favor, all we need to do is pretend as couples to make Valentina jealous and so she would get back to me. You know, like how they do in the movies."
She widened her eyes in shock. "In the movies?! But— But they always end up falling for each other!"
Exactly, Xera. Nice guess. That's why I'm doing this with you.
"Of course we won't end up like that dummy! We're cousins." Yeah, right. We're cousins.
She just nodded. "Okay, okay! I'll help you!" I felt my cheeks heat. She agreed!
"Okay~ Thank you~" I sweetly said before handing her my pen to sign it.
She chuckled and shook her head while singing the contract. "Why does this look so formal. Pfft—"
"Whatever, Xera. Just sit there and I'll open the door for you so the whole campus will see!"
"This is embarrassing!"
"Why would you be embarassed with me? I'm so handsome and charming and—"
"Okay, Je! Okay! I know that already!"
"Did you just say I'm handsome?" I teased her.
"Shut up." I chuckled and got off the car and went around it to open Xera's door.
She stepped off the car so I held her hand to help her get out. She might struggle cause she's in heels. That's how fashionable she is, in school, she wears thigh high black boots. She's just so gorgeous.
Since I'm quite famous in this school, most people were looking at us, especially girls. They're even gasping. We're both famous but no one knows we're cousins and that's a good thing! Very good!
We held hands and I walked her to her classroom. Everyone was looking at us, someone even followed us. We stopped infront of her room then I kissed her forehead. She waved her hand at me so I waved back and she slowly walked into her room.
I was on my way to the seniors' building when suddenly, Valentina appeared in front of me, causing me to stop and walk back slightly. Her face is too close. She's weird, I hate her. Everyone was looking at us
Well, what do you expect from a supermodel? She's been to Paris just to walk with designer clothes!
She held my wrist and pulled me to the Girl's bathroom and locked it. Luckily, no one was inside.
"What the fuck is up with that, Jeremiah?!" She whispered but in an angry voice, pointing her finger at the direction where Xera's room was.
"What?" I asked, serenely.
"Who's that girl, huh?!" She messed her hair up while walking around in front of me. She's about to cry.
"My girlfriend." I proudly responded.
"Wha—" She scoffed. "Your girlfriend?! After you— breaking up with me yesterday and now you're saying that— that young girl is your girlfriend?!"
I pinned her to the wall and put my hands beside her. "I don't love you, Valentina. Please just stop. Did you know why I broke up with you huh?!"
"W-Why?"
"Because you're to controlling, possessive, and manipulative! So just stop it! You're toxic!"
She cried so I handed her my handkerchief slowly. She ignored me so I put it in my pocket. I was about to go out the washroom but she shouted.
"What does she have that I don't have huh?! I—I'm pretty, I'm sexy, I'm smart. I'm a supermodel! Javeon! Every boy's admiring me and you have the courage to just leave me like that?! What the fuck do you want, Jeremiah?! What?! Tell me!"
"Her." I said and walked out.
I got in my room and sat on my chair. Ian sat beside me and looked at me with a teasing face. "Who was that? Hmmm?"
"Who?"
"That girl that you opened your car door with?"
"Oh.." I chuckled. "She's my girlfriend, Xera."
"Xera, huh... Xera.. Xera?! Wait what?! Do you mean Javeon's project partner?!"
"Yeah, yeah, I guess."
"Pfft!" He laughed loudly. "So Her and Javeon broke up?"
"Well, yeah. Xera broke up with him because she said she knew that Javeon was playing with her."
He nodded and looked in front. "You know, Xera's really pretty." He said while smiling.
"What did you say?!" I furrowed my brows.
"Hey! Hey! Calm down! She's not my type okay? She's— She's just a little bit, you know, intimidating." He chuckled.
I just nodded and smiled but the Lecturer got our attention. He was holding someone by the collar, pulling it into the classroom.
"Go to your seat!" He said to the man. Wait—That's Javeon!
He's bleeding! His face! I helped him stand up from his seat and walked him to the clinic, ignoring the lecturer.
"What happened to you?"
"I was beaten up. I don't even know who did it! Who the fuck were they!"
Of course they were my boys. Pfft! I paid them to do that dummy! Javeon's so naive, isn't he? Oh, yes he is.
He went into the clinic. I stood up in front of the clinic to wait and to also skip classes. I just leaned on the glass wall.
"Je!" Xera saw me through the glass I guess. She ran to me. "Why are you here?" She smiled at me. I put my hand on top of her head. She's sweating since it looks like they just had P.E.
"Javeon's there, he's bleeding." I said, waiting for her reaction.
"What?! What?!" She looked through the clinic's window. "What? Where? Is he okay? Is it severe?!" Fuck. Why's she so worried?! Oh, Javeon. That man, really!
I walked to her and held her shoulders before gently turning her around to look at me. "He's okay, it's mild." No, it isn't. "Now, wipe your sweat and change your clothes okay?" I stroked her hair. She nodded and I kissed her on her forehead before going upstairs. She's so precious to me I can't let just someone make her cry.
Javeon, Javeon. Get ready.
I whispered before putting my hands in my pockets and walked back to the classroom.
