'Former prosecutor, Bob Anton Emerson, currently the chairman of Central law firm made a statement saying the managing director's post would be handed over to his long lost son, Aiden Emerson of Hogworths high. He made it clear that it doesn't matter if he is still an high schooler and his reasons are as follow.....'
I picked up the remote and turned off the television.
Long lost son? Is he serious? He doesn't want the media to know he abandoned his family and now he turned it around to say his son was lost? How ridiculous. And who the hell hands the managing director's post to someone who is still in highschool?.
Ugh! I get it, he only came back to look for his son, just because he doesn't want the director's post to be handed to someone else.
Who cares about his reasons anyways. His so called, long lost son is still a senior highschool student.
I turned to look at the couch, Aiden was still asleep...I pray he doesn't get to watch the news or else he's gonna get more mad at his father.
I never thought i could see him become so vulnerable, last night was still a shock to me. He cried like a baby.. it seems he loved his father to the extent of his heart shattering to pieces when his father left him.
Still surprising, who would've known he's the son of the chairman of Central law firm. Hogworths high would surely be shaken by this news.
There was a knock on the door and i got down from the bed to get it...
"Good morning sir". I greeted as i came face to face with Mr Gretonia.
"How are you and how's Aiden?" He asked.
"I'm fine...Aiden is...". I paused and sighed. "I dunno, i really don't know".
I turned back to look at him, opening the door wider and giving him a better view of Aiden who was sleeping.
"He didn't see the news right?"
"He didn't". I replied.
"Alright, both of you should be at the hall downstairs in one hour, there'll be an announcement for the students".
"Yes sir". I murmured.
He took one last glance at Aiden and left.
I closed the door and walked back to the bed, then decided to order breakfast for both of us.
The delivery guy arrived sooner than I expected and i collected the meal then paid him.
I set up the meal on the table....
My stomach grumbled at the mouth watering sight.
Never ordered much before.
Aiden stirred on the couch... I was praying silently that he would wake up soon coz i didn't want to be the one to interrupt his peaceful sleep.
God answered my prayer and he sat upright, wiping his eyes...then his eyes met mine.
"Good morning". I beamed.
It sounded so weird greeting him....
To think, we've never greeted each other before.
"Have you been watching me sleep this whole time? C'mon, you look like a creep, pinky". He said, still cleaning his eyes.
Ugh! I guess he's still the jerk...
"Breakfast served". I said, pointing at the table, then smiled..."you must be hungry".
Waffles, bacon, scrambled eggs, cereals, milk, cinnamon rolls, pancakes, fruits, roasted meat, potatoes and seafood.
He glanced at the table....
Yeah... it'll be fine if he declines.
"I'm allergic to seafood". He muttered.
Ow!
"How come you ordered this much...I didn't know you're a glutton". He joshed.
Nitwit! I ordered for both of us.
"I'm not a glutton". I replied calmly.
"Well, I'm starving... so, i might help...minus the seafood though". He said...
A smile crept to my lips...
"Yes". I threw a fist playfully in the air.
I lied earlier tho....it wouldn't be fine if he had decline...coz i wonder how i would eat 'em all on my own.
"Thank you". He muttered, suddenly.
I looked up from the food and met his gaze.
"Wh-wah?" I stuttered.
He smiled at me...and I felt my heart stop for a second.
"Thank you". He repeated and i had goosebumps all over my body.
He...he..just sm-smiled at me? and... he's a-appreciative?
He freaking smiled....this once! I've never seen him smile so beautifully before...
"Are you alright?". His voice brought me back to my senses and i noticed, i had been staring at him, mouth ajar.
"I-i... I'm fine, I'm fine...I uh..." I stammered, short of words...then stuffed some eggs in my mouth to prevent saying anything more.
He stifled a laughter at my reaction and went ahead to the bathroom...to brush, i guess.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
After breakfast, we went downstairs to join the other students.
They began to murmur as soon as they sighted Aiden...i expected that.
"You're CL firm's chairman's son?" Trent, one of our class boys asked, approaching Aiden.
"That's cool man". He punched his shoulder lightly, in their boyish style.
"Don't touch me". Aiden murmured coldly as he stared at the spot where Trent had touched him.
"Sorry bro". Trent apologized quickly and went back to his crew...Dennis and Scott.
"Can he get any cooler?" One of the girls squealed and three of them dashed to meet him.
"Aiden hun, is it true you're the chairman's son?
"Are you going to become the next managing director?".
"You're so cool... everything about you is cool...."
I rolled my eyes and walked up to Mia who was waving at me to get my attention.
"I've never heard of Aiden's dad before, I didn't know he has a dad". She said.
"Yeah...right?"
"He's such an amazing dad, entrusting the director's post to his son, after finding him". She beamed.
"Totally". I said, exuding huge sarcasm. "An amazing dad indeed".
She doesn't know the real story.
"Where's Raven?" I asked, scanning the room.
"I don't know....and how did you guys get so close?" She murmured, looking away. "She isn't your best friend right?".
"What if she is?"
She stared back at me with an annoyed pout. Then looked away again, folding her arms...
"I'm not jealous". She spat.
Can she be any cuter?
I giggled and poked the fuming baby.
"You're my best friend...duh".
She squealed in excitement and wrapped me in a hug.
"Why did it take you so long to say that...I was waiting for the day you consider me your best friend". She muttered, still crushing me with the hug.
"I...can't...breathe..". I gasped out and she quickly released me...
"Sorry.."
"Students,". Miss Becca spoke up and the hall became quiet.
"Sorry to inform you that our field trip will be discontinued due to certain reasons, connected with the basketball competition coming up. And the little drama involving the chairman who's our supposed sponsor".
"No.." the students whined.
"At least you got to explore the museum for a day...the remaining days will be added to the training days". She said.
"We'll compete against Summerville high school".
Say what? My former school?
"And we'll have to head back today".
"Can't we spend one more day here?". One of the students asked.
"Yeah, you can". Miss Becca replied smiling.
"But on your expenses, no sponsor. And when you're done, come back to school". She scowled at the student and was about to leave.
"Go pack your bags, we're leaving soon". She added and left.
The students began to murmur amongst themselves.
"Aww, i wanted to stay longer". Mia pouted.
***********************************
Time skip... Wednesday morning, Hogworths high;
I shut my locker and whirled around to face Raven.
"Oh, hi"
"Hey". She murmured.
"What's the fuss about?" She asked, looking at the chirpy, giggly girls in the locker room who seemed to be really excited about something.
"No idea". I shrugged.
"You! Junior student with the weird shoe, come here". She called one of the girls whose face turned pale when she saw Raven.
She approached us, her face downcast.
"What's going on? Everybody seems to be talking about something". Raven asked her....
"It's the opponent team members... they're..."
"Shut your hole twerp!" She snapped back at another girl who had chipped in. She scurried away.
"They're talking about the opponent team members from Summerville school." The girl she had called, answered.
"What about them?" Raven asked again.
"They think they're quite handsome especially the team's captain". She said, then i noticed her blush.
"Gross...". Raven spat then stuck out her tongue in disgust.
"Out of my sight chirpy thing and go change those shoes, you look stupid".
She dismissed the junior and turned to look at me. "Unbelievable". She pinched the bridge of her nose.
We heard high pitched screams and quickly turned to the direction.
Three fairly familiar guys were approaching our direction, wearing the crimson lion basketball wear, their team sports wear.
I sighed when i knew they were headed for me.
"What's up babe?" Adams said, winking at me.
"Hey Bella". His friends chorused.
Ughhh!!
"Hey", i smiled back at his friends, then turned to him.
"What do you want and don't 'babe' me" I said in a low tone, leaning closer so that he'll be the only one to hear.
"I came to see you, isn't it great we'll be seeing more of each other these days beautiful?". He said reaching out for my hand..
"I've missed you".
"Don't touch me". I moved backwards, away from him.
"Who's the 'over the top with tattoos' guy?" Raven asked.
I mouthed 'my ex' to her and thankfully she got my message.
"Hi, 'over the top with makeup' girl, I'm Adams Everett". Adams said, with a smirk, he clearly used her line against her.
"How did you ever end up with this stupid delinquent? I'm so glad you broke up. Just his appearance is enough to make me barf". Raven spat.
"Who are you calling a stupid delinquent?" Adams raged.
Oh precious Lord!
"Not good enough? How about asshole?" She asked, with a smirk.
"Or this?" She casted her middle finger at him...then mouthed...'f*ck you'.
"Just so you know...I didn't apply any makeup, I'm just so beautiful you can't even imagine... that's why you thought i put on makeup". She pouted.
"And you're so ugly you can't keep up with me... stupid delinquent". She snickered.
"Just wait right here, I'll be back". She smirked and left me.
Why did she leave me?!
"Is that bitch your friend?" Adams asked.
"What's your business?" I asked.
"And you allowed her insult me?" He asked again.
"What was i supposed to do?"
"Nevermind, what more can i expect from a Hogworths student?" He sighed.
"They're all brats, pompous brats".
"I'm one of their students now yunno" I said and was about to leave....
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.
"Are you still mad at me? You suddenly left me that day without any reason".
"I said to not touch me!" I gritted my teeth.
"Why are you making it so hard to get you back?!" He raged.
I scoffed..."It's over between us.... don't you know the meaning of over?!
I'm done, we're done! There's no us anymore". "And you can't be serious bringing up such topic right here".
I wriggled free from his grip and tried leaving again...but he stopped me.
"I won't stop till you accept me back".
This dude is crazy!
I heard the girls in the locker room scream again and we all turned to the direction it came from....
Aiden, Carlos, Jerry and Lucas approached us, in their own team's sports wear, black bulls.
"I've been looking for you, what's going on here?" Aiden asked, sizing up Adams and his friends with his eyes.
Looking for me? Whoa!
"Uh...I.."
"To think you thought you had a chance with her...how cute". He mocked Adams, interrupting me, then held my wrist and pulled me closer to him.
"Looks like we aren't just rivals in the sports game...but then, you'll never have her". He said with a smirk.
"I'll win that competition". Adams spoke up, glaring at Aiden.
"And I'll make her mine again...no doubt".
"I'd like to see you try". Aiden muttered then entwined our fingers, holding me tight
"No one can take what's mine from me". He said again..."The trophy...and this cute little kitten beside me".
My heart dropped.
"She's mine". He said huskily and smirked.
"Mine alone."
My heart beat accelerated.
"Stupid delinquent, told ya I'll be back". Raven sneered as she walked up to us with folded arms.
My mind was clouded....what just happened?.
