MEGAN'S POV
"Steven you came very late. What if you found me when something has happened to me? Who would be your cute little cousin?" I said trying to act funny. "Megan, I heard from Aunt Jones that you are a grown up now. Now you are acting like a baby." SteBen replied." Am not acting like a baby and if it wasn't my tutor, you wouldn't find me at home." I said trying to scare my cousin. "Megan I never knew that you are still jump on me as if you have seen something that has scared you. I'm still wondering if what aunt told me is really true. I'm really doubting wh aunt told me." said Steven. I replied as I was getting off Steven from carrying me. "Look, I'm really a grown up now. It's just that I was a little bit nervous to stay alone at home with no one. I was excited that you came to see me that's why I jumped on you. If I did wrong then I won't do it again." "It's okay, I just wanted to make fun of you." Steven replied back. "Did you bring me something on your way?" I asked. "Of course I brought my cute little cousin chocolate." Steven replied. "Thank you my handsome cousin." I replied with a hug.
"Megan how are you studies going?" Steven asked. "Not bad, thanks to my mom." I replied. "You have proved me wrong. You are a grown up now. By the way, why did aunt get you a tutor who is a man? "Steven asked. "Why are you asking me that?" I said. "OK he looks cool but I want you to watch out on guys like that. He seems to be a ladies'man." Steven replied. "It's not like he is my boyfriend. He is just my tutor and I don't find any problem with that." I said.
I wondered why would my cousin question on this tutor that my mom brought me. What if my family gets to know that I have a crush on him. I have to act natural whenever he comes home because if I don't, I will get caught. My tutor is going to be coming next Saturday. I wonder what my strict cousin will ask him. I hope he won't cause trouble at all. Why am I over thinking? I don't think I have to stress on someone that doesn't know that I have a crush on him. I had to change a topic of the conversation. "By the way Stephanie how is aunt Madeline and Uncle Jack your dad?" I asked. "My mom is alright. I don't think that you have to ask about that shameless Jack who tends to act like my dad. He left me and my mom for almost fifteen years. Now he came back and my mom accepted his fake apologies." Steven replied with an aggressive tone . "I think you are right Steven but try to know your mother's feelings also. I think your dad had some reasons to why he left you guys." I said trying to calm my cousin who was to burst at that time. "By the way Steven my tutor is coming next Saturday right. I hope you won't ask him questions that you asked me OK?" I said. "I don't have to do that unless when he crosses his boundaries. How old is he?" Steven asked." He is 21 years old and he has just graduated from college this year." I replied. "He is even three years older than you. You have to watch out. Don't get his attention so much. I understand girls in your age are easy to be lied by guys like him who are very handsome." said Steven. "I don't say that you have to fall for him or crush on him although he is handsome. I am 26 years old and I am also five years older than him. But I don't want you to fall in love with guys in their twenties you are still a teenager OK."Stephanie added.
I still asked myself the same question why would my cousin ask me all these questions about my tutor. Does he know that I have a crush on him? No, I don't think he knows. Nobody else knows it apart from Mia. Mia doesn't have my have time to chat with my cousin . I trust her.
"Ok Steven, I get your point." I replied. "It's already getting late. I have to prepare for tomorrow. Good night." I said." OK good night my little Megan." Steven replied.
I went in my room and put on my pyjamas.
It was very early in the morning. I found breakfast on the table. I had to eat and after go to school. I arrived school and I found a crowd of students. As if they were watching someone. Indeed it was. A new fresher in the unknown department I had to know after. "Who is this new guy who has captured every girl at school?" I asked Mia. "He is Liam from the Music department. He is handsome isn't he?" Mia replied. "I don't think that he is more handsome than my tutor." I replied with a giggle on my face. "I will prove you wrong when I get to come on Saturday in your sessions with that old tutor guy." said Mia. "Come on Mia let's go for the lecture. Don't act stupid like these other girls." I held Mia's hand as I was mumbling.
The new guy who came captured every single girl at the campus but it wasn't on me. You can tell that I don't want to capture any guy's mind apart from Harris's. "Hmm Megan, did you really see that new guy Liam? I think he's quite handsome and he looks young. What do you think of him?" Mia asked. "I think he is cool." I replied. "That's all?" Mia complained. "Of course that's all girl and stop complaining anyway. It's not like I know him that much. By the way Mia, you can go ahead with him if you want to. You know that I hate that stuff of playing around with guys."I replied ,holding my arms. "All you think of is that old guy. What if you don't get his love? " Mia asked. "I need positive thoughts from you not negative. I got to go Mia let's meet tomorrow." I replied packing up my belongings. I thought that day would be something like a miracle but it ended up boring. All I had to do is to call my driver to pick me up. I had a little argument with my best friend Mia but I understand that all happens to best friends. Sometimes in friendship there are arguments between the friends and everything can be solved at the end of everything. I was taking a walk around the campus as I was waiting for my driver to pick me up. As I was getting my phone from the bag, it fell down and I had to pick it up from the ground. As I was getting it from the ground, someone whom I never expected picked it from the ground. "Here is your phone." A voice that I never recognized and I have never heard it elsewhere. I had to take a look at the person who had picked my phone from the ground and gave it to me. "Oh thanks!" I appreciated as I was putting a smile on my face. "Aren't you the new guy in the music department?" I asked. "Perhaps I should introduce myself to you." He replied. "I'm Liam Russell from the Music department as you mentioned earlier." He said trying to shake hands with me. "I'm Megan Jones, you can also call me Megan. I take Economics." I replied.
"Sorry I have to go right now but it was nice meeting you gentle man." I said walking away from him. I finally got to my destination which was my home. "Steven!" I shouted ,calling his name. "Yes my little cousin." He replied coming downstairs. "I'm home and I feel very hungry." I said with a sad face on me. "You don't need to look sad, I already ordered your favorite meal. Crispy chicken nuggets and fries." Steven's tone put me at ease and I felt relieved. I had appetite that I had to express as I was digging in my meal. "It's delicious!" I complemented. "I knew you would like it." "Steven can I ask you something?" I ventured. "Of course you can." He replied. "When are going to start working? Don't get me wrong I'm just asking?" I said . "I will start going back to the company when aunt arrives back from the village. I have to take care of you. I also requested for a one month leave. My boss agreed. You don't need to worry about me OK." Steven replied.
My phone buzzed up,It was Mia's text. It said. "I'm sorry about the way I reacted but don't worry we shall talk it on Saturday. I will come over to your house." "OK cool thanks, I'm also sorry." I replied. I went upstairs to take care of everything like having a shower and lastly get a nap. As usual you know your girl Megan has to get prepared for her last day, Friday at school. I woke up as usual and wore my nice looking outfit. Take breakfast and then lastly go to school. I arrived at college. I took my lectures today early because I wanted to go back very early at home. But I had to get to a nearby cafe with Mia. Mia and I walked to the cafe as we were chatting and laughing. We reached the cafe and ordered two cups of coffee. "Megan look! Isn't that the new guy at campus?" Mia whispered. "Hmm.." I mumbled. "Shh.. Shh.. He is coming near us." Mia whispered.
Hey beautiful girls? said Liam as he was smiling. "Hello!" Mia replied and I remained silent. Megan hey? said Liam smiling at me. "Hello Liam!" I replied. "Can I have a seat next to you guys?" Liam ventured. "Well you can have a seat next to me." said Mia as she was insisting and acting like a dumb and mostly petty. By the way I'm Liam. said Liam as they were exchanging pleasantaries with Mia. "How did you get to know Megan?" Mia asked. "Well I picked up her phone which had accidentally fallen from her hands. That's how I knew Megan." Liam replied giving me a sharp eye contact. That I was getting uncomfortable. "Can we be friends guys?" Liam asked me and Megan. I hesitated first as Mia already agreed to be friends with Liam. "Yes we can be friends." I agreed. "We have organised a house party with my friends. I had to call some of those whom I got as friends right now so that it can be merrier." said Liam. "When is it going to be held? I asked. Hmm.. This Saturday of course." Liam replied. "You guys can attend but unfortunately I can't because I have my tutoring sessions on every Saturday and I don't have to miss any of them." I said.
The new guy called Liam from the Music department suddenly became our friend with Mia.
