Chapter 11

ANDREA POV
I stood still in Jack arms hoping that Max will drive off without uttering a word but he didn’t try to move his car.
“What’s your problem, you almost hit her.”I heard Jack say to him.
“This the only way the cars can pass, If you two had any sense, You wouldn’t be standing on the street.” Max seethed before driving off.
“What a j.erk.”Jack said looking so furious.
“What happened and why are you two holding each other?” Beatrice asked and seeing that Jack still had his arms around me,I quickly pulled away.
“A car was just about to hit Andrea and so I pulled her out of danger”Jack replied giving me a smile
“Isn’t my cousin a hero?”Beatrice said as she pulled us towards his car.
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 11 – 20
We got to the karaoke bar and booked a room for only the three of us.
While beatrice and I took the mic and began to sing, I forgot that Jack was sitting by the seat watching us and I had a lot of fun.
It’s been long since have had this kind of fun, Ever since I started Jupiter high, have always been worried about people finding out about me and have been more worried about Max.
He doesn’t show that he remembers me or not and that alone Is driving me crazy.
But tonight,I will forget my worries and just have fun,I thought as I danced around with Beatrice.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Am so thirsty, I will go get us some thing to drink and when I get back, You will be singing us a song Jack”Beatrice said as she left the karaoke room.
I stood starring at the screen, not wanting to talk to Jack but I should have known that he wouldn’t back off.
“Why don’t you come and seat”He said
“Am fine where I am”I said
“Are you scared that I might manage to get you to say the truth?” He asked.
“What truth are you talking about ?”I said wanting to clear things with him
“Don’t try to act ignorant Andrea, We both know the truth that am talking about” he said
“You are poor and what I want to know is how a poor girl like you manage to enrol in Jupiter High and why you are doing your best to keep it a secret ” He said guessing my secret.
“What rubbish are you saying”I said feigning ignorance.
“Don’t force me to get to know the truth by force”He said and just then Beatrice walked back in
“Hope you weren’t waiting for long ?”She said
“Of course not cousin”he replied giving her a smile
“I have to use the rest room”I said as I quickly left the karaoke room.
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 11 – 20
As soon as I got to the rest room,I could finally breathe in peace.
Jack is getting close to knowing my secret,I thought.
First Max and now Jack, Why am I so unfortunate, I thought as I washed my hand.
“I think the rest room is here” a voice which I recognise so well said as they walked into the rest room.
Erica walked in with two girls that I didn’t recognise.
There was no way that I could have hide with out her seeing me.
I stood still hoping she wouldnt see me but she did.
“Oh my God! I can’t believe it’s you Andrea”She said came towards me.
“Do you know her?”one of her friend asked
“Of course, She is the nobody who claims to be some body”She said
“The girl you said lied to every one that she is rich when she is nothing but the maid daughter, is it her”Another asked
“Of course,It’s her, the bitch who left with out even saying good bye”She said as she pulled my sweater.
“You must be attending a rich school right? And am sure that you must be lying to them too, Tell me what your school is, who knows I might come to pay you a visit”She said
“You don’t have to”I said feeling so scared.
“Why? Do you think I will tell on you? Am a changed person, I can help keep your secrets from your friends”She said
“Yo…you don’t have to”I replied
“Why are you being stubborn right now”She said as she hit my head.
“Don’t get me angry Andrea”She added when I still didn’t say any thing.
Just then two ladies walk in distracting Erica.
I used that opportunity to run away and judging from the noisy footsteps I was hearing behind me, I knew they were following me.
I didn’t want to go back to the bar room, I didn’t want Erica seeing Beatrice and jack.
So I ran out side, I was still running that I didn’t watch my way and I bumped into some one.
I looked up to find Jack starring down at me.
“Where have you been, Have been looking for ……..what’s wrong?” He asked when he saw the tears in my eyes.
“Please help me”I begged as I turned only to see Erica running towards us.
He saw it too and I thought he wouldn’t help but he did some thing that surprised me.
He pulled me into his arms and hurried my face in his arms.
“Just follow my lead” He said and i nodded
“Andrea we still have some unfinish business” I heard Erica say
“Who the he.ll are you? And why are you bothering my girl”I heard Jack say
“What? Your girl”She said
“Judging from your looks, you must be a rich kid right and you wouldn’t want any scandal for your parents,So while am being nice, leave before I create a mess that not even your rich father will be able to clean”He said
“So you got a protector right! We will meet some other time, that I can assure you”She said as she walked off.
I stood with in Jack arms long after she left,. It wasn’t until he pulled me back that I stared up at him.
“Am sorry, Am really sorry”I begged as I cried again and gently Jack drew me into his arms and walked me to a seat.
It took a while for me to calm down and when I did I was so embarrassed.
“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to bother you with my troubles”I said.
“You aren’t bothering me with your Troubles Andrea, instead you are making me more curious”
“You are like a mystery that I want to solve” he added
“You won’t find any thing worth your while Jack, so don’t bother trying to be curious about me”
“But I am, I am curious about you, You have managed to get me intrigued” he said
“Just stop it Jack, am not worth knowing and I hope that you forget what happen today”I said
“How can I? I saved you from that girl and so you owe me one”he said
“A debt! Fine I owe you one, I have to get home”i said
“Will you go back in ?”He asked
“No, will you help me bring my bag, I don’t want Beatrice to see me this way”I said and he stood up and went in to get my bag.
By the time he return, I had called a taxi and as soon as he gave me my bag, I got in buy it before I could leave, he gave me his handKerchief
“You don’t want people to know that you cried, Use that for protection”He said and went back into the karaoke bar.
As soon as the taxi stopped, I walked the rest of the way to the estate and I got in through the workers gate.
I went into the house and still feeling down, I went to the kitchen in search of my mom.
There I heard voices and i think it’s the voice of the workers.
I walked to where they were and when they saw me they quickly ran towards me
“Your mom!”
“What happened to my mom”I asked scared
“Your mom is in the young master room and from what we saw,He might be doing some thing bad to her”As soon as I heard that I ran to Max room.
I didn’t even bother to knock because I was worried.
What I saw made me regret my action completely
There was my mom sitted on an empty seat writing out some thing Max was telling her .
“Why are you here?”Max asked
“Andrea”my mom called as she stood up and walked towards me.
“The maids told me that you were here and so I came to check on you”I said starring at Max.
“Oh it’s nothing child, The boss was just telling me the list of things that he likes and dislikes” She said
“Oh!”I said feeling foolish
“This is my daughter Andrea” my introduced me to Max and gently I greeted him acting like this was our first time.
“I will leave you to what you are doing”I said turning to leave
“Andrea stay , I want to talk to you “He said and that made me stop
“But what about what we were discussing together” my mom asked
“That will be later, I want to discuss some thing with Andrea”He said and reluctantly my mom left the room.
Nervously I stared at him only to see him starring at me too
“Now have got you and there is no way you can deny it now”He said suddenly
“What?”.
