",Yeah, How did I reach here ? " Leo asked in a weak tone.
" We were bringing you yesterday and you passed out from the car. " Barbara asked.
" Where is Myra ? " Leo questioned.
" She went to her father's house after your operation.." Barbara answered while she gazed at him.
" It was too late. Did you let her go on her own ? Its so dangerous for her to move alone. " Leo asked with worry evidence in his eyes.
Barbara was surprised by the fact that Leo cares about Myra this much.
... Her father sent guards to pick her...
Barbara was supposed to say this but she looked at Leo's handsome face and a number of thoughts came to her mind.
' Leo is very handsome. He is a very good fighter and he looks like someone who cares about the people he loves. I won't lie, I have been having a crush on him. I think Myra has a crush on him too. What do I do right now ? '
Barbara said these words in her head while she stared up at him. He was waiting for her answer.
"..I..am.." She tried to speak but shut her mouth again.
' I know Leo doesn't like Myra. If i make her look like a bad person before him, He will hate her and surely fall in love with me . '
Barbara thought and said.
' I am...she said it was too late and she needed to have a rest after the long day so...she called her father to send guards to pick her.." Barbara lied.
" That's good.." Leo relieved.
" Aren't you angry ? " Barbara asked.
" Angry about what ? " Leo asked.
" Yesterday, You got shot because of Myra. She just brought you to the hospital and after she left me with the responsibility of takimg care of you without even knowing how you were doing...." Barbara reasoned.
" She has her right. I am just her bodyguard. I don't see any wrong in that. " He said
Barbara chuckled. " Leo, I am not understanding. " She said and he looked at her.
" Just yesterday, You told Myra that even if she stood before you naked, You would never touch her body. But...you so worried about her today.." Barbara said to him.
" I just say those words to annoy her. But to be truthful, Her life is in danger. She needs more protection and its my role.." Leo said.
They were still conversing when a nurse entered.
" You are awake ? " The nurse asked.
Leo nodded his head. " Let me give you some injections. " Said the nurse.
" I will be back. " Barbara said and left the room.
She stood outside the door and her mind went back to the seven years back when she met Myra in high school.
Myra was the most beautiful and hot girl in the school that everyone else knew her. She had a boyfriend named Liam of the same class who was among the top four most handsome cool guys in school. But Barbara was a low key students who focused much on her studies.
The two didn't know each other until a new student called Brian joined the school. He was so handsome and cool that most girls started crushing on him. Barbara was low key but she also found herself falling for Brian.
Brian joined Liam's group and became the fifth member. Because of this, He became friends with Myra and her other two best friends.
Barbara tried to approach Brian in all possibile ways but she was always nervous. Her friends noticed and asked her to confess but she feared. One day, One of her friends told her to join Myra's group to gain popularity and get close to Brian.
Barbara took the advise and found Myra in the library. Myra wasn't a good performer in academics and it always gave her hard time.
Barbara got the guts to sit near Myra. When Myra saw her she smiled and said. ",hello..."
" Hi," Myra responded and focused back on her reading when Barbara said.
" I am...I heard that you are not doing well in your studies. Do you mind me helping you ? " Barbara asked.
Myra looked at her with a frown. " We are strangers, You really wanna help me ? " Myra asked.
" Yes. I am Barbara. " Barbara said with a smile bringing her hand for a handshake.
" I am Myra " Myra responded and they shook their hands.
" Actually I know. You know you are popular. " Barbara said.
Since that day the two started studying together for a month until Myra's friends started asking her why she was always with a strange girl. Myra told them she was just helping her improve on her studies and indeed she started improving. She even introduced Barbara to her friends but they continued ignoring her.
One day Myra and Barbara studied until it was too late.
" Myra, Can I ask a question ? " Barbara asked.
" Ask anything. " Myra said.
" About your group, I am can I be a member ? " Barbara asked a question that surprised Myra that she giggled.
" Why on earth would you like to join my group ? " Myra asked in the middle of her laughter.
" Am I not fit enough ? I can change my dress code and style if you wish.." Barbara.
" I didn't mean you don't fit. But all I do with Brinna and Samantha is walking having lunch together, partying and maybe hanging out with our boyfriends. But you are so determined on academics, I don't think you can manage our life style. " Myra said.
" I can, I want to try it. " Barbara said.
" Okay. I will talk to my girls. " Myra promised.
When Myra met Brianna and Samantha at a party she told them about adding Barbara into their group.
" Myra, Are you insane. This is a girl for the hot three. We can't bring another person. " Samantha argued.
" Why , She is beautiful she just needs few adjustments. And she can help all of us improve on our academics. " Myra said.
" Who said we want to pass that much ? We come from rich families. If we are going to insist on that then you leave the group. " Brianna said.
" You know what guys. I am leaving the group. " Myra declared and left.
