We left the school building heading straight for the parking lot since jaya insisted we ride on her bicycle, but the loud yelling of a person stopped us. we looked around but no one was there.
" where are you going" the voice yelled, it sounded like a guy and he seemed very angry, jaya pulled me towards the voice
" away from you andrea!" A female's voice replied in the same tone
" I think the voice is coming from the parking lot Claire" jaya whispered as we kept going toward the parking lot, our eyes finally sighted who the voice belonged to....andrea and aurora
" uhh they are always fight let's go" I turned to jaya, she shook her head in disapproval
" let's wait for some minutes this is free cinema bae" she replied chuckling. I rolled my eye but still kept my position as we went to a parked car and hide behind it watching the whole drama unfold
" I am not done talking to you bitch!" He cursed grabbing her wrist, she stopped walking and glared at him
" really? Him again....of all the people your grandfather is to appoint as his right hand man it had to be luca?!" He growled, she yanked her wrist from his hold
" look if you are looking for someone to vent on go to mattio, but am not your fucking therapist" she replied, he laughed bitterly
" why do I feel like your old man's decision doesn't bother you one bit " he said coming closer to her, she rolled her eyes staring at her nails like it was the most interesting thing right now
"He is your uncle for fuck sake, for grandpa to chose him it must be he is capable....beside why are you so bothered. you thought he would pick you" she gave a mocking laugh that cut through the air. he clenched his fist breathing aggressively
" why....was I expecting much....my father served your old man for year's and now he is in a bad shape. is it wrong for me to want a position that is rightfully mine " he said in a deep voice she sighed
" why are you telling me all this " she said with a smirk
" because you hold something I want....your old man doesn't make a decision without consorting you first and I know it was with your permission luca got that position. I want you to change his mind so that he will give what is rightfully mine" he said with a slight smile, she tilted her head to the side placing her arms around his shoulder.
" awwn....the Almighty andrea is begging?....face it you are not competent enough for that position" she replied pecking him, he pushed her away from him
" wow you behaved just like I expected, a selfish spoilt bitch. now that I think of it you are right, I am almighty" he replied pointing at himself
" I shouldn't be moving out with a worthless whore like you" she scoffed coming closer to him
" but you just can't get enough of this whore" she chuckled placing her hands on his chest, he removed her hands pushing her away from him
" it is over aurora Esposito" he said walking away she scoffed chasing after him
" what...what did you say...andrea you don't mean it...tch besides this is what we always do. we always play this game but you come crawling back to me like the little dog that you are! " she stated giving a fake laugh
" you wish,.....besides I am not a fan of plastics " he replied walking away. She stop in her track clenching her fist.
" son of a bitch!!!!" She screamed leaving as well. we both came out of our hiding shocked.
" They broken up?" I asked as we walked to her bicycle
" I guess" she shrugged
" why is your crap parked nest to my bike! " a deep voice roared from behind. we both flinched turning to see a fuming andrea
" I....i.....i" jaya starmmed, he rolled his eyes going to his motorbike that was parked next to our bicycle, he put on his helmet climbed on it before turning his head towards us
" next time, you both will not be pardoned for this mistake. The parking space can start with anyone but ends with me....." he stated with a frown. I narrowed my eyes confused
" no one must park after me!." He yelled
" I don't....think it's how parking lots work" I blurted out making jaya stiffen a laugh.
"You, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked staring at us, both I and jaya exchanged glances before staring blankly at him, he cleared his throat
" I will take your silence as a yes " he replied driving away
" what?" We said in unison utterly confused before finally deciding he must have gone mad from the break up.
The next week passed quickly with the same amount of bullying.
"Uhh" jaya groaned as soon as her eyes made contact with the novel I was reading. I rolled my eyes already familiar with her reactions, this was how she behaved anytime she read the names of my novels and I never asked her why but now am curious
" what's wrong" I said without batting an eye, she rolled hers dropping a bowl of chips between us, she wanted a quick snack since we already had breakfast at her house. she was craving some chips so we decided to get it from the cafeteria then run for our lives before something dramatic happens
"It's just the name...I mean, please my angel?" She asked pointing to the novel, I frowned
"And what is wrong with that it's a nice name. you don't like it?" I asked almost raising my voice
" it's not just it, but all like it " she stated throwing a chip into her mouth, I snorted
"Oh your not fond of romantic novels?." I said and she replied with a smile
" I just feel they are stupid and predictable " she said laughing, I scoffed
" and how is that" i crossed my hands against my chest
" well for example the female lead is a poor and helpless girl but some how ends up marrying the rich billionaire?, because he is in need of a bride and she needs to save a family member, really?. And what's worse is the one where the girl falls in love with her bully or a guy who has been really mean or rude to her because she found out there is something more to him than the arrogance he portrays. hon the list goes on" she narrated her face crunched up in disgust. I chuckled.
" hmm you sure do know a lot for a romance hater!" I yelled playfully she chuckled and rolled her eyes
" I was once like you until I realised it was all BS and this world knows nothing about the word called love " she shrugged
"And you do?" I asked with a narrowed eyes, she brought out her phone scrolling on it
""Can you fall in love with Bruno or one of his friends, Carlo?" she asked, My eyes widened in horror. When I said nothing, she laughed, but her smile quickly faded into a frown. She screamed, and I held her.
" what wrong?" I asked worried
" well didn't you hear the news. it's all over the students portal" she said as everywhere was filled with murmurs or maybe they have being murmuring but my ears were too busy listening to jaya
" the student what?" I asked confused she groaned
" don't tell me you don't know the students portal....its a portal where students share news either from the school authorities or students. someone posted aurora and andrea break up" she said with so much enthusiasm
" so?....how does it concern us, couples break up and get back together all the time should the school turn upside down because of those two couples" I said bitterly
" well your right, but this means the argument we witnessed was serious. andrea has been missing from school for more than four days now" she stated still scrolling on her phone
" Don't tell me you a hidden member of sunflowers girls" I joked, she gasped placing her hands on her chest
"I might be a member they haven't discovered yet. I mean I do sound like them" she replied as we both busted into laughter
"So tell me are you an andrea fan" I teased taking a bite from her plate of chips she groaned with an eyes roll
" more like an emillano fan" she said in the sweetest tone I have ever heard. she stared in the direction of their table smiling, I gave her a light tap to bring her back to her senses
"What? He's cute...nice dark skin giving me hot cocoa vibes, nice brown eyes with full curly hair, and perfect height," she described, lost in her thoughts
" you mean he's as tall as mt Everest, he is a freaking giant, jaya" I shouted staring at his figure
" uhhh his in the basketball team what do you expect and he leads their team, their is no win without him" she defended
" not to talk of those biceps oh God" she said basically drooling
"Jaya!" I called out snapping my fingers
" what were you saying about Romance....romance hater?" I asked chuckling. she rolled her eyes ignoring me as she kept drooling, I on the other hand grabbed the bowl of chips and began to shove it into my mouth in huge chunks, when she noticed she joined me as we both dragged the plate to our side so we could grab enough
"By the way why are we supposed to wear this stupid uniform anyway half of the school do not wear it and the other half redesigned it, except for us on scholarships. Besides other schools here do not wear uniform" I thought out loud sipping from my bottle of water
" School rules and choices, I guess. And since we're on scholarships, we have to obey, or our scholarships could be taken away. Those who pay can do what they want," she stated. I hated to admit she was right. Well my aim in this school was to mind by business but my business seem to not want to mind me, without warning the cafeteria became loud we looked around confused
" what's the noise about?" Jaya shouted so I could hear her through the noisy environment
" Andrea has finally come back" a girl from behind us screamed
" let's leave before anything happens " I said holding jaya's hands. we both stood up as the crowd gave way for him to pass and strangely he was heading towards us
" why is he coming this way or is it my imagination?" Jaya asked equally as worried as I
" I don't know perhaps he wants to sit here?...." I replied as he stopped right in front of us staring between both of us. we stared back our face in confusion, the entire crowd encircled us even the m5 had left their table and were facing us now
"Claire are you thinking what am thinking" she asked turning to me
" I don't know what you're thinking but I am thinking we should run " I said as she nodded in reply, I began to run when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his chest
" wh....at...?" I tried saying but he cut me off with his lips on mine I stared with wide eyes as the entire crowd gasped almost immediately, followed by loud murmurs.
