Chereads / E.S.C.A.P.E: Underworld / Chapter 38 - The Contract

Chapter 38 - The Contract

I was subjected to a lie detector test on my body; nervously I pulled out the question. I didn't read the question aloud first; I just read it in my mind

"The fuc*k! you such a freaking bullsh*t!" I cursed after reading it

Trembling in angry I crumbled the paper I was holding and quickly stood up on the floor, I rushed to violet and grabbed the collar of her uniform. I can no longer control my anger, she exhausting my patience.

How does the fu*ck she know that?

They stood up to take me away but I didn't let go of Violet

"Seven stop, she's still our professor" I heard Seth say, but who cares if she's our professor? This is below the belt

I was surprised when she brought her face close to mine, and whispered just enough for the two of us to hear

"Why? Are you scared princess? I can make you experience the nightmare you fear. I see so you are afraid of losing your prince huh?" I looked her in the eyes, she looks scary, even though she is smiling I know she was planning something bad

Zendaya approached me and removed my grip on the collar of Violet's uniform. I removed my hand there, when I lowered my hand, Zendaya took the paper in my hand and then replaced it with another paper without anyone noticing it.

I looked at Zendaya and she just gave me a meaningful look

"Just read and answer the question to finish," Zendaya said

I need to trust her, I took a deep breath and then I read aloud what was written on the paper

"Why is the color of the sea is blue?" There was a moment of silence in the gym and then they burst into a laugh

"Are you kidding me Seven? You get angry because of that question?" That's Celine

"I don't know, maybe I should ask my elementary science teacher" I answered, and they laugh again

Violet lost her smile and snatched the paper from me and looked at it; she looked at the two of us; Zendaya and I give her a smirk

I don't know how Zendaya copied the handwriting in the question but I am grateful that she saved me

"Okay, it's your turn now Miss President," Violet said

Zendaya pulled out a question and like my question, it's just a basic question

I don't know how quickly Zendaya changed the question, maybe when I was busy with Seven then she quickly changed the questions

"Okay let's call this a day," I said

I noticed Zendaya walking towards my place

"Did you enjoy your open forum Violet?" She smirked

"Don't worry I'm just starting the next one I'll make sure you don't get through" I said, I will make sure you will pay big Zendaya

When they were all gone the president of this school, who had been watching what was happening, walked up to me.

"Their courage is surprising, isn't it? You didn't think they could get through your traps?" He said while mucking me

"I'm just starting.." I said

I will not miss the humiliation you have inflicted on me a while ago

Our class is over and Seth and I have also gone home to his unit, I heard a know in my door

"What? Do you want something?" I asked Seth

"You have a visitor" He informed me. Visitor? Who is my guest?

When I came out of my room I saw Zendaya sitting on the sofa while sipping her tea

"Oh there you are, you said you would go shopping with me because you owe me, remember I freed you earlier? But why did you run away from me" there was a melody of sullenness in her voice

I get what she was saying, what she said when he freed me earlier was that she saved me from Violet, she seems to have read the question I should have answered earlier

"Okay I forgot, I'm sorry; let's go" Seth still wanted to come but I stopped him; I just said that was a girls bonding

We got to the mall and went to the coffee shop; we choose the less crowded place to talk properly

"Explain this?" She put the paper with the question on the table, that's what I should have answered earlier. I took a deep breath before answering

"I'm not Seth assistant, my job is to teach him to know what love means and let him fall in love with me" I could do nothing but bow down, I'm ashamed of myself

"I never thought you could do that Seven, you disappoint me. I have been friends with Seth for a long time and I know how he will feel when he finds out.. That you used him for the money" She said

"I--- I .." I don't know what I should say

"Who hired you to do that?" She asked

"Samantha.. Samantha Zoldcky, her sister.." I answer

"Samantha?.." She said with a confused look

"Wait! I just noticed now it's just making me confused, how on the earth Violet knows about the contract? Only Samantha and I know that" It made me think

"There is only one answer for that; Samantha told Violet about the contract," She said while sipping her coffee

"But why she will do that?" My confusing question

"I don't know either," She said

"I need your help Zendaya, please help me" I convince Zendaya to help me, I don't know who else I can trust
