MAX POV
“Don’t you dare deny it, I can see that you like her “He said and having no choice I had to confess.
“Is it that obvious?” I asked
“Of course it is but thank God that only I noticed” Geoffrey said
“Don’t tell anyone, I haven’t told Andrea yet and I don’t want her to feel pressured by me or my feelings” I said
“That’s where you are wrong my dear friend, you should go after her now, as I see it Jack is also going after her and if you are not quick enough, he might just take her from you”
“And how do you know that Jack is interested in her”I asked
“Because I can see it, I can’t believe that the two great studs of Jupiter high fell for the same girl “He said
“As I have said I don’t want to put pressure on Andrea but I also don’t want to lose her, can you tell me what I should do not to lose her? “I asked
“Is the almighty Max asking for my help?” Geoffrey asked.
“Don’t joke with me! “I warned and he gave me a smile
“Of course I will help you, you might be smart when it comes to books and numbers but you are totally clueless when it comes to getting a girl, you can count on your best pal to help you”He said, giving me a grin.
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 31 – 40
ANDREA POV
“Now that we have all of our couple together, the game should begin” the announcer said
“For the first phase, you are to lift your partners for a whole twenty minutes ”
I stared at Jack and he lifted me up in his arms
“You should have just let me get on your back” I said.
“And let you think that am not strong?” he replied and I smiled in return
I would have like it if I was doing this with Max but he had refused and Jack had offered his help and I wanted to have my own phone.
So I have no choice than to do it with Max, I thought as I held onto Jack.
A lot of people were already losing but Jack stood still holding me in his arms.
“Give it up for the two couples that are left” The announcer said to the crowd
“Now on the second phase, with the way you were holding your partner before,you will raise a leg up” he said
“Will you be able to do that” I asked Jack worriedly,
“There is nothing I can’t do” he said as he lifted me in his arms again and raised a leg up,
“This is for the phone you want So much” He said giving me a smile and I gave him a smile in return.
“You can do this! You can do this! You can do this” I muttered to Jack softly,
When the twenty minutes was over we won and got to the final round.
,”Now this part will be more tough, this is the riddle part” He said
“One of the couple will think of a sentence and try to tell it to their partner so they can say it out”
“The couple who gets it right? Gets to have the phone”He said
“Apart from math do you lack in other things?”Jack asked and i punched him
“Am a master when it comes to solving riddles”I replied and his answer was to ruffle my hair.
The first couple did theirs and fail woefully, now it was our turn
Jack told the announcer the name of the riddle that he was going to ask me and then he stood in front of me and started giving me signs with his hands.
It was kind of hard and at my first two attempt I failed what he was trying to show me but on the third one I got it
“Oh I know !I know ! You are trying to say that you love me “I said even before I realised what I just said
“Correct!” the announcer said and every one who witnessed the show began to clap to for us.
“Ahhhhh…….it’s so good to see the love between two young couples, never ever break apart” the announcer said and it got kind of awkward between Jack and I.
We came out Pretending to be a couple and we must keep up with the act.
The phone was given to me and then he gave us two set of box each
“With just what have seen today, I can tell that true love last” he said.
“This is a token from me personally” he added as he gave us the ring,
Together we went back to Beatrice and Brenda who were waiting for us
I didn’t see Geoffrey or Max which was quite odd,
“Wow this is the latest, I have asked my parents to get it for me but they keep on telling me that I have to improve with my work”Beatrice said.
“But something keeps bothering me ,you are rich and can get a phone by yourself,why do you result to this?” Brenda asked
“I……well I ……..”
“Oh isn’t that the merry go round, I thought you said you want to ride it ,Why don’t we all go there ” Jack said distracting them.
“Yes, let’s go” Brenda said as she pulled my hand and we ran off.

MAX POV
“What am trying to say is that you should fight for her before it’s too late, you will have to fight for her before it’s too late” Geoffrey said
“Andrea doesn’t like Jack”I said
“She might not like him but she might meet someone else for instance someone like me”Geoffrey said and I pulled him roughly by the arm
“You better not go near her”I warned
“Fine,I won’t,I was just joking,I mean it”He said when I wasn’t letting go of him
“Am just trying to help you, if you keep on with this then am sure that Jack will take her from you,just look over there”Geoffrey said pointing at the merry go round
I saw Andrea on the ride waving at Jack who was watching her
“That is the look of someone who is In Love”Geoffrey said as we both stared at Jack who kept waving at Andrea
“What can I do to get the girl I love”I asked
“That’s a great question, to get the girl you love, you will have to confess to her first ,then we can hit off from there”Geoffrey advice me.
“I just have to confess right?” I asked and he nodded
“Fine then, I will do it “I said feeling a bit nervous.
This is unlike me, I have never felt this way before, when it comes to wooing women I have always been on top but when it comes to Andrea I get scared and nervous, just what is this? I thought as we got to them.
“Where were the two of you? Jack and Andrea won the competition and she got the phone”Beatrice said
“Isn’t it good?”Andrea asked as she showed me the phone.
“I have to talk to you Andrea! Alone” I added for the benefit of the others
“What do you have to talk about with her that we can’t know?”Jack asked
“Something that has to do with us”I replied giving him an angry glare.
“Let’s just continue with our tour, Max has to tell her something important and we must not interrupt,Let’s just go”Geoffrey said as he pushed us off
As soon as I saw an empty seat in the park, I pulled her there
“What do you have to tell me?”She asked and I felt more nervous
“I……I…….I just……'”
“Max what do you want to say? You are getting me scared!”she asked
“I just…….I want to know If you will be going to the school trip”I found myself asking, have really blow this up big time,I thought
“I won’t be going?”She replied
“Why?”I asked
“You must have forgotten that am not rich like you,the school trip is a luxury that i can’t afford and besides I have to take care of mom”she replied
“But you can’t just give up going for that reason, we can get someone to take care of your mom and we can pay for the trip ………”
“Your friendship I can accept, your protection I can accept but your money I won’t , I don’t want your money and I won’t have you spend it on me”She said
“But I want you to go on the trip”I said
“I can’t go because I don’t have the money and also I have to stay with mom”
“Andrea……”
“Let’s not argue about this,I am not going and that’s that” she said and walked off to join the others.
Unknown to us Jack was eavesdropping on our conversation.
