Michelle slept with anger still in her heart.
She woke up a bit earlier the following day and took the normal morning routine lazily.
She was in no mood to see Lucas and fortunately he wasn't at breakfast.
Michelle taught that it would make her happier but it only increased her anger.
Bowen felt the anger surging through her and tried making jokes to cheer her up.
All his attempts were fruitless it only made her more and more vexed.
Michelle went to school still in a gloomy mood.
Through out the journey she tried lifting her mood telling herself that Lucas and her were never meant to be.
Upon her arrival,Michelle put up a fake smile to make people believe that she wasn't affected by Lucas breakup.
She walked to her class with her head held high and to her surprise no one said anything to her.
As soon as she got to class she met with Henry first and gave him a casual greeting.
To her it was casual but to Henry it was the best thing in the world.
Another surprise with her as she met Lucas sitting on her sit. She forgot to close her mouth.
"Hey",Lucas broke the awkward silence.
"Hey,what are you doing here?",she asked trying to look like she doesn't care.
"I just wanna apologise,I shouldn't have gone viral about our relationship",he said in a low voice making it sound like he was really sorry.
Michelle heart started beating fast. She was indeed happy that he came to apologise but she tried to hid it.
"Yeah,no problem",she said casually.
"Okay,bye then",he said and stood up making Michelle feel oppressed.
'Damn,he is too tall. Imagine I only reach his chest',Michelle thought inwardly.
"And I told everyone that you broke up with me not the other way round",he said in her ears before he left.
'That's why no one attacked me today', she thought and was left at awe for the man before her whose figure was already disappearing.
She took her sit after sometime and settled all her things down.
She was about dove when George came to meet her.
"Good morning",he said and picked a book of hers which had previously fallen down.
"Morning. Thanks",she replied without looking at his face. How could she forget all the bed things he had done to her.
"I know you are upset with me because of how I had treated you before,who wouldn't? But I want to apologise and start all over,what do you say?",he dropped the bomb all in one go and Michelle was left dumbstruck.
"I will accept your friend request only if you tell me why you did all those things to me before",she said once she pulled herself back to reality.
"It was because Lucas and you were together. Actually Lucas and I aren't on good terms",he said and then laughed dryly.
Michelle was even more surprised at what he said.
'How many enemies do I have because of Lucas',she asked herself.
"Okay,we are good",she said and flashed him a smile then continued arranging her books.
George looked at her for seconds before walking away.
'I really do need friends so I should just forgive him and any other personal',she thought when he was away.
Her life indeed was boring after Grace and Beatrice had been arrested their was no more action in her life plus Serena had been keeping a low profile. How boring.
Class went by fairly quickly and recess time came.
"Lucas! How dare you",Eric shouted as soon as he spotted Lucas.
"The audacity",Lucas responded his face turning grim.
"Do you know how hard I worked to make Michelle like you? And what did you do? You broke up with her,oh damn you",Eric said fuming.
"What work did you do?",Lucas said interested.
"You don't know? I convinced Michelle to stay with you and try to make space for you in her heart,this is how you repay me!!",Eric was furious. This side of him rarely comes out.
He liked Michelle,no doubt but he let her go for Lucas as he had never seen Lucas being interested in someone.
He wanted Michelle to melt the coldness in Lucas heart so that Lucas would finally forgive him. Everything was now down the drain.
Lucas walked away without replying him.
'Michy only gave me space in her heart because of that bastard',Lucas thought making him feel like killing Jake.
"Lucas!!",Serena shouted.
Lucas was getting pissed from people calling out his name that he didn't answer.
"Please give me another chance,it has been a month now and I haven't gotten so much as one contract,please",she begged and begged but Lucas just kept on walking.
'I don't have any work now and it is all because of that girl. Am gonna make her pay',she said angrily to herself.
Although everyone was pissed off, Michelle was having the time of her life.
She and Henry were doing some catching up and were all in drenched in laughter.
"Remember that girl we met when we went to the mall like three years ago?", Henry said smiling.
"Yeah,yeah that one that was on her knees begging you to be her boyfriend after only just meeting you in that day", Michelle said laughing at that thought.
"Exactly,she was at the school I went to after we departed and worst of all she was in my class,sitting exactly beside me",Lucas said. The word departed' brought a mixed feeling in each of them but they still kept a smile.
"Really? What great luck,you are a really luck guy my friend to have someone obsessed with you",she said trying to provoke him.
"Ha...ha...ha not funny. Anyways she almost got me in trouble when she jumped in front of my car threatening to kill herself if I don't date her",he didn't finish his sentence that Michelle burst into laughter.
"It wasn't funny,I almost got arrested because of that",he said seriously but was still laughing.
"Sorry..sorry...what did you now do to chase her off",she said amidst laughter.
"I wasn't able to chase her off,I ran away. Changed my school,location she is the reason am attending this school"
"Coward"
"I should be grateful towards her,I mean if not for her I wouldn't have met you again",he said and touched her hand.
Michelle smile dropped and she said, "Lucas we can't be together again".
"I know,Am satisfied with being friends only. At least I get to talk to you",he said and Michelle almost felt pity for him.
"What about you?",he asked and eased the air around.
They started another round of discussion.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped and the only person that could exclude that much aura was no other than Lucas.
Of all the sits in the cafeteria Lucas chose to sit with Michelle and Henry.
"Hey",Michelle broke the awkward silence.
"How did you manage to come here without your fans?",she asked after not getting a reply to her previous greeting.
"I have my ways. Disappointed?",Lucas said coldly.
"No,why would I",she asked even though deep down she felt like a woman caught in adultery.
Michelle was about to finish eating when Lucas placed more food in her plate.
Michelle looked at him surprised but ate it without question.
They continued lie that and looked like an happy couple. Henry was burning with jealousy.
Michelle and Lucas had gone on dates before and it had always been like that but it didn't stop a blush from appearing on her cheek.
She blushed harder when she saw everyone eyes on her.
'Lucas what are you doing?',she was screaming inwardly.
