Jade's tent,
' Demoness, why did you call for us?' Justin asked.
' What if I tell you that immediately school resumes, there will be a petition to expel the five of us.'
' Why?' The four guys asked. Confusion flashed briefly in his eyes.
' It may not necessarily include Jayden but trust me they might find a way to implicate him. Reason? Let's just say some people are willing to go extra miles to cause trouble.' Jade says.
The guys still couldn't understand although Jayden looked like he was catching on.
Suddenly Jade understood how System Jade normally felt each time she ( Jade Thompson) didn't understand what she ( System Jade) was saying.
' It means that they might try to get us expelled by saying we'll drag them down with our grades.'
' So what? We'll just get our parents to make donations and the principal will forget all about it.' Justin says In a matter-of-fact attitude.
Jade face slapped. In the book, the principal wasn't with an ordinary background and the tactic of using pressure didn't work instead it backfired which led to the principal setting an exam threshold to punish slacker. Even though the group worked extremely hard and barely managed to cross the threshold, the prince had lost all impressions of them and titled them troublemakers.
' Have you ever wondered how Maple Grape High ( MGH) never had any board of directors, trustees, partner nothing at all?' Jade asked
' Why?' Tyler asked.
' Because he's connected to the royal family.' Jade replies.
The four guys sat up straight. Even Jayden was surprised.
That was right, Green Haven Country was a monarchial state.
' How do you know that?' Matt asked speaking for the first time.
' I have my ways. But if you want to know how he's related, he is our Queen's youngest brother.' Jade replies.
She remembered sometime in the book, The King, Carter, Jones and Brown companies tried to pressure the principal but ended up receiving pressure from the royal family.
The guys took time to digest the information.
' I'm telling you this to remind you that as long as you are seen with me, it will make people restless. They'll assume that I'm building connections with influential families and they will try sever that so called connection. It's in your best interests, to give me space.' Jade explained. It was time to make things clear, to see who would be loyal and who wouldn't be.
' Pft, isn't just an exam, we'll write it.' Tyler says disdainful.
' Do those kids think we are easy to mess with?' Justin says.
' Do not worry. We aren't afraid.' Matt says.
' I'm not going anywhere. I still need you to protect my innocence.' Jayden says. The first part was loud enough for everyone to hear while the last part was only audible to Jade who was sitting next to him.
Jade choked on her saliva and started coughing.
' Are you alright?' Justin asked.
' I'm fine.' Jade says while staring at Jayden as if she had seen a ghost.
' I'm no love expert but I think he was flirting with you.' System Jade says.
' Nonsense! Why would he like me?' Jade retorted.
System Jade remained silent.
Jade stared at Jayden's side profile which was exceptionally good looking. If only she could style the hair in the correct pattern, take off the glasses and use contact lenses, What a beauty this boy would be!
Jayden was silently questioning himself for saying something so cheesy. How could he say that to Jane King's daughter? What would Jane King think of him for flirting with her daughter?
Suddenly he remembered something.
Flashback,
A woman who looked exactly like Jade with a mature aura was gentle brushing a little boy's hair of around 7 years old.
The little boy had soft black hair and cold green eyes. His facial features betrayed the immense handsomeness the boy would grow up to have.
' I would have adopted you and brought you home but then you would become my son. I would rather you be my son in-law. In the future, if you fall in love with any of my girls, tell me quickly and I'll fix an engagement ceremony even if they are just 9 years or even younger. But if you fall in love with someone else that's okay but I pray that you will become my son in-law. If you married Ruby no no, Ruby is very emotional she cries a lot and she will annoy you.
I think Jade is better for you. She has your cold temperament and is very straight to the point.
I can only imagine how beautiful my grandkids will be.'
' Jane King, I haven't even met your daughter and you are thinking about grandkids.' Jayden says in a cold voice. If one listened carefully, they would hear it carried a touch of helplessness.
' Well, if you change your mind in the future tell me. I'll help you no matter where I am.' Jane King replies.
Flashback ends.
Jayden looked at the girl who was bringing out notebooks.
Didn't you say I could change my mind? It's not a bad idea to pursue her.
Jayden thought
