MAX POV

“Please can you just tell me where she is?, I have to see her”I begged her mother who refused to tell me where Andrea went to

“I think you need to stop young master, you just got engaged a while ago, can’t you live my daughter alone”she asked looking angry.

“I just want to tell her some thing”

“You can tell me,I will relay the message”she said

“It’s some thing I must tell her myself”I said

“If you won’t tell me,I won’t let You see her, so you might as well leave,your fiancee will be waiting” knowing when to resign,I left the maid Quaters.

I walked out through the back door and was heading to the front door when I saw her and she wasn’t alone, she was with Rose.

This is what have been trying to avoid, now Rose will know the truth, I thought as I head towards them.

“I just asked you a question, what are you doing here?”Rose yelled at the silent Andrea.

“What’s going on?”I asked

“It’s a good thing you are here Max, Tell me what Andrea is doing here”she asked

“I called her here”I said and the two of them stared at me at the same time

“Why?”Rose asked

“I had to get some thing from her and since have done it, she can leave now”I said

“Why do I find it hard to believe?”Rose asked as she stared at the two of us

“It’s the truth, you can leave Andrea” I said and immediately she walked off

“No, Andrea……..” Rose said trying to stop her but quickly I pulled her to me and gave her a kss

When I was sure that Andrea might have gone, I let her go

“Y-ou- you did that to stop me from asking right?”she asked

“Just ask me what you want to ask her?”I said

“So you can lie to me again, forget it I won’t ask you, I will ask her when I see her myself”she said turning to leave but then she stopped and stare at me

“Have been curious about Andrea for a while now and you kssing me have fuelled my curiousity,I will find out the real reason that she is here. that I can assure you”she said and walked off.

I hope she won’t be able to find out, I thought as I brought out my phone and send Andrea a text

“Tell me where you are and I will come get you”.

I have to talk to Andrea or Rose will find out every thing.

HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 41 – The End

ANDREA POV

I walked through the busy streets still feeling shocked about the engagement than of Rose seeing me in Max house.

Just then I got a text and when I saw that it was him, I didn’t reply.

I didn’t feel like talking to him, not now or ever.

Wanting to buy myself some time, I went to a restaurant and ordered a drink, I sat by the window thinking the event of the day.

Just then some one pulled out the empty chair in front of me and sat on it .

I looked at the person only to see Jack sitting There.

“What are you doing here?”I asked

“I happen to be lunching here when I saw you walk in”He said

“But Beatrice said you were studying at the cafe with them”

“No! I didn’t go to the cafe, I decided to skip it and it’s because of you”he said suddenly and i wondered what he meant by that

“What do you mean?”I asked wanting to know

“Max got engaged today right?”He asked

“Yes he did”I replied softly

“How are you doing?”he asked

“What do you think”I said as I held back the tears

“I knew this would happen, I should never have let you get close to him”he muttered angrily

“But I did, even with the warnings, I fell in love with him and now I have to suffer the consequence”I said sadly

He held my hand and kssed it softly ,I stared at him in surprise and he gave me a smile

“What can I do to bring back your lovely smile”he said jokingly

“I doubt that you will be able to do that”I said

“Then can I just be your companion till you decide to go back home”he asked

“I would rather be alo……..”

“I promise not to bother you”he said quickly and I had no option than to let him stay.

He did as he said, he didn’t disturb me and the only time he said some thing is when I talk to him.

Some how I enjoyed his company and I thank him for being here with me,trying to distract me even if it’s for a while

It was late when I got back to the mansion, the place was quiet and every one would have gone to bed.

I sighed as I walked on,I passed through the garden and then I stopped when I remembered how Max and I had come here just to spend time with each other.

It was magical then and I had been happy but now am sad, so very sad.

I was about to go back when I saw Max watching me.

With out expecting it, he walked towards me and hugged me.

“Thank God you are back! I was so worried”he said as he held me tight in his arms

I found myself wanting to hug him back but Instead I pushed him away and turned to leave only for him to pull me back

“Why didn’t you reply my text, you could have at least replied and stopped me from being worried”He said

“Why should you be worried about me when you have a fiancee now”I asked

“About Rose,I can explain, I……….”

“Save your excuses for some one else, you asked me to pretend not to know you and also to ignore you, I was reluctant to do it before because I still had a bit of hope that you will come back to me, that I should give you time, that time is all you need but seeing you today at the luncheon…….”

“You were there?”He asked

“Yes! I was there, I heard them talking about your engagement and I saw Rose holding you like you were her possession”I replied still feeling hurt by what I witnessed a while ago

“You shouldn’t have seen that”he said softly

“Why? So you can keep on with the lie?”I asked

“Andrea I……….”

“Did you sleep with me knowing about your engagement to Rose?”I asked

“Andrea I …….”he said prevaricating

“Just answer me!”I yelled

“She told me about it before you came to my room”he answered

“So you knew and yet you slept with me,why?”

“Because I love you and even though I knew that I was getting engage and i would have to break up with you, I will still keep on loving you, Andrea you n…….”he moved wanting to touch me but I moved back and he stopped what he about to say

“You are now engage, we should keep some distance”I said

“You are right, we should keep some distance”

“Though I love you, we can’t be together and so I wish you all the happiness in the world Max,you deserve it”I said as I walked past him

“Do you think I can be happy with out you in my life?”he asked and I stopped

“You will have to Max because I will also try to move on”I said

“And will that be with Jack?”he asked

“That doesn’t concern you”I said and turned to leave again

“Be careful of Rose, she now suspects some thing, good night”he said and walked into the mansion.

“I don’t think I will have a good night,I really don’t think so”I whispered as I watched him leave

HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 41 – The End

JACK POV

I got to class quite early, I know Andrea always got to class very early but I was disappointed to see Rose there.

“Good morning “she said

“What’s so good about this morning” I asked

“That am seeing you instead of Andrea”she replied

“Well am not feeling good that am seeing you here”I said

“Don’t you even want to know why I wanted to talk to Andrea?”she asked

“Why?”

“I found out her secret,the secret she has been hiding”She said

“What?”

“Judging from your expression, you knew her Secret too right?”she asked and quickly I pulled her by the shoulders and push her to the wall

“Don’t even think of letting out her secret”

“Why?”

“Andrea is scared of the other students finding out that she is poor and the daughter of a maid, so just as you have found out,keep your mouth shut”I said and she smiled

“So that was her secret?”she asked

“What?”

“Thank you for confirming my suspicions,I knew Andrea was lying when I saw her at Max house yesterday and I decided to investigate myself, you just helped me by telling me everything now”she said as she pushed out of my arms.

“I really thank you for the info but I can’t guarantee that I will keep it a secret just like you and Max did”she said and left the class.

Quickly I took out my phone and dialled Andrea number…..

HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 41 – The End

ANDREA POV

I walked into the school only to see the students starring at me.

And while they stared,they kept on muttering things and they were also starring at their phone.

What’s going on? I thought as I walked towards my class.

They kept on starring until I got to class and as soon as I got to class every one got quiet

“Is it true Andrea?”Beatrice asked looking at me with anger

“What?”I asked

“It can’t be true,it’s just a lie right?”Brenda said as she came to hold me by my shoulder.

“What are you all talking about?”I asked again

“Look at your phone and stop asking,you liar!”a student said and then I began to panick.
