Chapter 7

ANDREA POV
“I can’t believe that he is in our class”Beatrice said as we all sat together in class.
It was a free session and every one was doing their thing.
“I heard that he asked for the transfer”Brenda added as they kept on giving max one glance or two
I couldn’t join in their conversation because I was busy thinking of some thing else.
Why did he have to chose this class,From what I know,The school has plenty of class,So why choose the one am in,I thought as I kept on starring at my book
“Oh my,He is starring at us”Brenda and Beatrice said and I turned to see him starring at me instead.
Quickly I looked away and prayed silently that the bell for lunch would be ranged
Just then the door opened and a girl who looked so beautiful walked in.
She went straight to max and stood in front of him.
“What do you want?”
We all heard max ask her and she closed the book he was reading
“We have to talk ” She said and went out side, Max also stood up and went out side with her.
“Who would volunteer to eaves drop on them”A student who is known to be the funniest guy in class asked
“You of course”They all answered him and he gave them a nod and went out to do the eaves dropping
“I hope Geoffrey brings back some juicy gossip”Brenda said
“Who is that girl?”I asked
“Rose,Rose temple, She is the school queen and she was once Max girlfriend”Beatrice answered
“But ever since Max brother died,They broke up”Brenda added
“Maybe she is the reason why Max changed his class”Beatrice added
“Any news Geoffrey?”A student said as Geoffrey came back in
“I couldn’t hear what they were saying and besides,It’s not good to gossip”Geoffrey said and went back to his seat.
As soon as max walked in the bell was ranged and quickly I left the class with Beatrice and Brenda coming after me.
I sat with my tray In front of me,I couldn’t eat neither could I chat with my new found friends, All I was thinking of was Max.
The cafeteria was a safe place to be with out feeling threatned by Max presence.
“You have been quiet ever since Max showed up in our class,What’s wrong?”Beatrice asked
“Nothing! Am just thinking about some thing”I said quickly
“Well if it has to do with your parents then it’s best that you don’t let it get to you,Live your life Andrea and let your parent handle their own affair” Brenda said
Just then Rose walked in with her group of friends.
“Here comes the snob”Brenda muttered
“It’s best that we leave before she sees us”Beatrice said
“And why is that?”I asked
“Believe us when we say that Rose is a wtch and you won’t want to get on her bad side”Beatrice answered as we stood up to put our tray away.
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 1 – 10
*********************
The bell was rung and every one left the class to head to their respective house.
While Beatrice and Brenda packed,I wondered how I will get into the house with out being spotted by Max.
“Shall we three go out”Beatrice asked suddenly
“Sure”
“I can’t,I still have my part time………..”I stopped when I realise what I was about to spill out
“Your part time what? ” Brenda Asked
“My part time class”I lied quickly and unknown to us Max was eaves dropping
“Can’t you skip that today,Let’s hang out together,Hang out with us Pretty girl”Beatrice said
“We want to show you off”Brenda added
“Fine “I said.
If I skipped work today,My boss wouldn’t really mind, He knows that I wouldn’t miss a day.
Together we went to the zoo,To the cinema and then to a game bar.
Have never had this much fun in my life,I thought as we three began to head home
“Am going to save this day Always”I said
“Why?”Beatrice asked
“Because it’s the day that I got the most exciting friends ever”I said and they both laugh.
“There is our car”Brenda said as she point at the two different car waiting for them
“What about your ride home”Brenda Asked
“Have given my chauffeur a call,I will just wait for him “I said as I waved them off.
As soon as their car left,I took the route that led me to the bus station
As soon as I got to Max residence,I made sure that no one will see me and I got in through the back entrance.
I went straight to the maid quaters and changed my uniform
Feeling a bit secured in my clothes,I went in search of my mom
I found her in the kitchen cooking as always
“How was School today?”She asked after I greeted her
“Good”I said nonchalantly
“At least am not hearing I wasn’t to drop out”She said
“That’s because I made friends and the students there treated me well”I said
“That’s great,So Jupiter high is the right one choice for you right?”She asked and i nodded
“What can I help you with”I said
“Nothing in particular,Am through cooking supper,You just have to help me take this food to the young master room”She said
“What”
“You heard me Andrea,so common take it to his room”
“Do I really have to,Can’t I just do some thing else”I asked
“There is nothing you can do for now,So just do this one instead” She said giving me the tray.
On shaky feet,I went to Max room, All my effort to avoid him today have just been for nothing,I thought as I knocked on his door
There was no response and when I put my ear on the door,I could hear the shower running.
Seems like I will go through this ordeal without being caught.
Quickly I went in and put the tray on the table,I was about to leave when some thing caught my eye.
It was my resume,I had submit it with Mom, That was the criteria for me to live in the house.
It was suppose to be with his mother,After all she hired us ,So why is it with him now,I thought as I took the resume and stared at it.
“Didn’t they tell you that I don’t like people touching my thing”He said suddenly and I turned to stare at him.
“I didn’t mean to,I just came to give you your food,I will leave now”I said
“Stop right there Andrea”He said and I stopped
“Sir!”I answered as I stared at him nervously
“Take the food with you,I don’t want to eat”He said
“Yes sir”I replied turning to leave but he called me again
“The food?”
“Oh right to it sir”I said and quickly went to carry the tray and then I left his room.
All through the way to the kitchen,I kept on wondering if he knew the truth about me.
If he knew i was the same person he saw on the roof top and also the new student at Jupiter high.
“What’s wrong?”my mom asked
“He said he doesn’t want to eat”I said as I put the tray down.
“That kid need some one to talk to him,Why don’t you offer him some jui……..”
“No mom! Please not again”I said as I quickly went to our room and lock myself in
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 1 – 10
THE NEXT DAY
I woke up still feeling agitated and restless and it’s all because of what happened last night
I couldn’t even sleep well,I thought as I got ready for school.
As usual I woke up early and got ready and then I left the house.
I got to school early ,There were hardly any students in the school and I preferred it that way.
Seeing that there was still much time before the first period,I decided to sleep a bit.
I woke up a while later and the first person I saw was Max,He was starring at me from his seat.
I sat up and went to the ladies to wash my face.
“Has he recognised me”I whispered to myself
“What am I going to do if he does recognise me,My life is over “I said aloud this time
“Stop being noisy,Some people would like to use the toilet in peace”Some one said behind me.
I turned to find rose standing in one of the toilet starring at me
“Am sorry,I will leave now”I said and turned to leave.
“You are the one every one is referring to as the angel right?”She asked
“Pardon?”
“Put some thing on your face before you leave,You don’t want people running away from you”She said and left the ladies.
I went to stare at myself and I saw that I look different with out make up.
Quickly I put some shade on my face and when I was back to my old self,I went out of the ladies only to stop when I saw Max waiting for me by door
“Have been waiting for you”He said As he stared at me
“Me? Why?”I asked feeling nervous
“You know me right? “He asked
“What?”I asked staring at him in shock.
