Janes' POV
We went back home after shopping, I and my friends kept our horses at the stable and went into the main building(𝚖𝚢 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎), the servants entertained my friends while I went upstairs and freshened up.
"So why did you both want to follow me home? " I asked. "What do you mean Jane, can't we just come visit you without much reason? " Marcus asked. "Lucy may come but you surely won't, let me think... the last time you visited was 2months back" I replied. " Of course, she's a girl and I'm a male, I'll bring too much suspicion if I come to your house regularly, you know what I mean" .
I rolled my eyes but still asked, " What are you here for? " I got no answer, instead Lucy and Marcus exchanged a glance.
"Are you going to tell her? " - Lucy. " Is it not obvious enough? " - Marcus. "Two words, No Way"- Lucy. " Ladies first "- Marcus. "Aren't you a gentleman, a gentleman needs to earn his title " - Lucy. " I don't want the title" - Marcus. " Fine "- Lucy. " Glad we have an understanding " - Marcus. " There's no understanding, how about we do a rock, paper, scissors game for it " - Lucy. " Alright" answered Marcus.
" Yes, I win, have a nice chat boy "Lucy taunted sipping her orange juice. Marcus took a deep breath and moved forward to where Jane was seating.
" Jane, you know Jamie right?, Jamie Ashlock" Marcus paused for me to answer.
" Yes, who doesn't know the all-round parrot and her two lackeys Zoe James qnd Betty Michael, so what about them " I asked seemingly unconcerned but only I knew how much I hate them. " So you know how Jamies' dad is the Kings' royal advisor and Jamies' other relatives are high ranking officials" Marcus paused again. "Yes, yes I know get to the point" I answered.
"Okay, Jamies' Uncle, Duke Sylvester Of Camforzon had one of his best scholars to come to our school as an overseer of our exams this year and well..... " before Marcus could finish his sentence I complained a lot.
"What?! How could this happen? when did this happen? why did everyone remain tight-lipped? why is no one saying? anything answer me, as a matter of fact tomorrow you two follow me we're going to confront Jamie Ashlock and we're also going to talk to that homerooom teacher of ours, how could you two not tell me something like this?
Why was I kept in the dark? Why? Your actions hurt my heart? Where was I when this information was spread? Did you both eavesdrop on them? Since when did you both become fans of Jamies' group? Where did I go wrong? Where? Tell me, answer me, say something"
"Jane, Jane, inhale, exhale" Lucy said.
"That's not what I want to hear" I replied quickly. "We know, we know just calm down, calm down" Marcus added.
..... 10min later .... Janes' POV...
"What should we do to stop this? " I asked.
"Your family's also influential but likes to keep a low profile so it's going to take much of our effort" Marcus analyzed the situation.
"Maybe we should just give in, after all he can't do anything obvious" Lucy said
"Lucy, power and money has a voice of their own" I told Lucy and then added " Don't worry too much I'll think of something later" I said.
"Sister, sister" Avril suddenly called out my name as he ran towards us. Avril is my younger brother and the last child of the Frendezo family, he's 8yrs this year while I'm 14yrs, my elder sister Chloe is 16yrs and my older brother Kastan is 18yrs.
"How was school today Avril? " I asked my younger brother. "It was was fine, I enjoyed my day at school".Avril replied to me, he then turned to Lucy and Marcus. " Good afternoon 1st Miss Michael and Master Marcus".
Marcus is the only heir of the Donluck Family. When his father did, he and his mother, Lucia were almost killed several times by relatives and in-laws so they found a way to escape and here they are in Ventasy. Only I and Lucy know about this.
" Good afternoon Avril" Lucy and Marcus answered in unison.
"Avril go freshen up in your room and come back to meet us at the gazebo" I told him. "Okay sis" Avril said and headed towards the building. " Lucy, Marcus, let's go to the gazebo and have lunch" I said
