ANDREA POV
“If you have ever lied to your partner, put up your hands”Beatrice said and we that were gathered there raised our hands
After the party last night, every one have decided to play around and Beatrice along with the guys were all playing while seated on the field.
I stood watching them and I didn’t want to join because weird questions would be asked and I didnt want that.
Just then I got a text and it was from Max, asking me to come to the cafeteria and quickly I gave him a reply, telling him that I will be there soon and I was heading there when Jack pulled me back.
“Where are you in a hurry to?”He asked
“To do some thing, I will be back soon”I said wanting to leave but he pulled me back into his arms
Some how I found myself being in his arms, he had a strange look on his face
“Are you going to see him?”he asked
“See who?”I asked still feeling shocked that I was in his arms.
“Did you get to tell him of your feeling?” He asked again.
I had no idea what he was talking about but when he asked his last question, I finally got an inkling
“Did you tell him?”he asked again
“Since you happen to know how I feel about Max, I think you should know that he and I are dating, we haven’t told anyone about it, you are the first and I would like it if you didn’t tell any one”I said and then giving him a smile I pulled away and ran towards the cafeteria.
I didn’t see the sad look that appeared on Jack face nor the way he clenched his fist in anger.
I got to the cafeteria only to find it empty,i walked in wondering where Max could be
I brought out my phone wanting to send him a message when some one wrapped his arm around me from behind
“Looking for me?”he asked as he pulled me to him
“Where were you, I was worried”I said as I held him in my arms
“Hiding from you, I wanted to see if you will be worried by my absence”he said
“You know I will be worried”I said sighing a bit.
Slowly he turned me in his arms and stared at me
“I will also be worried about you Andrea, so never ever leave my sight”he said and kssed me.
Unknown to us Jack stood by the door starring at us.

JACK POV
I stood by the door watching Max kssing Andrea, I felt like pun¢hing him, I felt like going to the both of them and to pull them apart but I held myself in check.
“What are you doing there?”Rose asked as she began to walk towards the cafeteria door.
“Nothing, let’s go”I said blocking her path
“We didn’t come together, so you can as well leave”she said wanting to go into the cafeteria but I pulled her hand and ran off with her
When we got to a safe distance, I let go of her and quickly sent a text to Andrea to get out of the cafeteria.
“What was that for”she asked after catching her breath
“Nothing “I replied and was about to leave when some thing she said stopped me
“Andrea and Max were the one in the cafeteria right? That’s why you ran off with me, so I won’t see them?”she asked
“If you know why did you pretend?”I asked
“I wanted to see what you will do, you like Andrea right?”she asked
“Why do you ask?”
“If you like Andrea and I like Max,we can both have what we want with out any difficulty ” she said
“So you are trying to ask for my help?”I asked
“Those two are quite too close for my comfort, I hate it each time I see them together and I know that with your help we can pull them apart” she said.
“Forget it, I would rather partner with the devil than with you”I said as I began to walk off.
“Fine then, you lost your chance to be with Andrea, I know for a fact that I will be marrying Max, his parents and my parents will make that possible, that would leave Andrea devastated and am sure that by then she wouldn’t want any one in her life again, even if you went to her, she wouldn’t be yours but If you choose to help me now, you will get to have Andrea while I have Max”
I must admit that the idea sound tempting but I know better than to join hands with Rose.
“It’s still a no”I said and walked off in anger.
If Max was to marry Rose then that is bound to leave Andrea in misery
Does she even know this, I doubt that Max have told her about it.
I turned into an hall wall only to see Max walking towards me
“Just what did you text Andrea that got her leaving the cafeteria?”Max asked as he walk towards me.
Still reeling from anger,I pulled him roughly by his shirt
“What ever you have going with Andrea should stop now”I said and he pulled off my hand
“Why should I listen to you ?”
“You know the kind of life we have, it’s either we get married due to some business arrangement or because our parents have chosen it, we have no say in it and we certainly can’t fight it, so before things gets worse break up with Andrea”
“I won’t break up with her and as you have said our future partner are either given to us by our parents or through a business arrangement but mine will be different”Max replied fiercely
“And how will it be different when your parents have already planned your engagement with Rose, am sure Andrea doesn’t know about this?”I asked
“I will deal with my engagement with my parents,so quit being annoying”
“Not when it comes to Andrea happiness, I won’t let you mess it up” I said and walked off angrily.
HIGH SCHOOL: Chapter 41 – The End
MAX POV
Hands in hands Andrea and I walked the short distance back home.
The school trip had ended and everyone head back to their respective house.
I still can’t believe that am with the girl I love although the fight I had with Jack earlier got me feeling worried.
Will my parents really force me to marry Rose whom I still hate and dislike.
Not after what happened with Nick, they wouldn’t want to get me angry, I thought as I held Andrea hand tightly
“Is some thing bothering you?”She asked and I got out my reverie to stare at her
“Am wondering where we should go to on our first date”I lied
“Ahhhhh…..I think that should be left to you, you are the guy and you should be the one doing the thinking “she replied
“Really? Why can’t the girls do the thinking too”I asked
“Because we can’t be bothered, so you better start thinking of a place we can go to, i want to know how far you are willing to please me”she said and wanting a bit of mischief, I pulled her closer and said into her ear
” I know of a better way to please you”
“My God Max, you really are a play boy”She said as she pulled away from me
“Why don’t I use my playboy wiles on you”I said as I pursued her
“Stay away!”she yelled as she ran off but I got to her and I pulled her to me, holding her tight.
We were so lost in each other that we didn’t notice that some one was watching us.
“We will have to start here”She said as she stopped us both by the route that led to the house
“Start what?”
“Our pretence, I might be your girlfriend but that will only be out of your house, in your house we are only just employer and employee”she said.
“I wish I can do some thing about it”I muttered to her
“But we can’t do a thing, we both know that I would never be accepted by your parents and if they were to find out that you and I are dating, they might do some thing to separate us quickly and I don’t want that, not yet at least”
“What has the least part got to do with this? We are not going to separate, even if my parents doesn’t wasn’t you for me,I will do my best to have you in my life , no one will separate us okay”I said and gave her a gentle peck before heading into the house first
Some how I felt that the promise I made to Andrea will never be kept.
