Chapter 34

MARY POV
I stood in front of the mirror , all dressed and ready for school.
I wouldn’t deny, Jupiter high uniform fits me perfectly and it gives me a certain aura,I thought as I picked up my bag and went down stairs.
I saw my mom by the phone, she was talking to some one and she had a smile on her face, i hardly see her smile like that, who is she talking to that is making her smile in that manner.
“A restaurant? Hope it’s not that fancy place you took me to the last time”
“Fine then, I would prefer that place”
“No, I don’t think we should tell them yet, we just started going out Jack, I think we should just hold on”she said
What? Mom and Jack are going out,I thought as I kept on listening to the conversation
“Fine then! I will see you in the evening”she said and switched off the phone.
I hid behind the door and watched her walk into the kitchen to cook the meal
“Mary! Come down now or you will be late for school”She yelled and quickly I pretended that I was just coming downstairs.
“Wow, look at my baby,you look gorgeous”she said as I went to sit at a chair to eat break fast
“Thanks mom, after all I take after you”i said.
I didn’t ask her about Jack because I didn’t want to pry and if she has a reason for not telling us then it should be left that way, mom have always been alone and if she has some one now am content with it.
“Won’t it be better to take a taxi!”she asked as she walked me to the bus station
“It would but I don’t want to, I don’t mind walking into the school, I know the school is meant for rich kids, that is one of the reason you asked me not to go but don’t worry, they are social care students like me and I don’t mind if am not rich like the other students, so don’t worry mom, I will be fine”I said softly and she nodded her head.
As soon as the bus arrived,I boarded it and when it got to its next stop, I got off and walked into the gate.
This is it, my dream school, here I come, I thought as I walked past other students who you could tell that they are all rich.
A car drove past us but I wasn’t really interested in it because I got a message from James.
“How was your night! Hope you are ready for school today”on reading his message it made me remember what he said last night.
He said some thing about attending this school too, what am I going to do if he comes to school?
“Why would he even like some one like me”I said and I didn’t realise that I had said it out so loud until I saw the other students starring at me
“Sorry! ” I muttered and began to walk fast but I stopped when I heard them whispering and I thought that it was about me but I saw them starring afar.
I also stared at the same place and was shocked at who I saw standing talking to a woman, it could be his mom!
“Isn’t he so hand some?”
“I wonder what class he is?”
“If he is single,I don’t mind going after him”
“Why the he.ll is here? “I said and the three girls who had spoken earlier stared at me
I turned to see them starring at me and I gave them a smile which they ignored and walk off.
I turned to see if he was gone but I stood shocked when I saw him starring at me.
I watched him wave his mother off and began to head towards me.
“Oh no!”I muttered and began to head back out side and if I hadn’t been watching, the car driving in would have hit me.
I was still reeling from shock when the driver got out of his car.
Just by hearing the scream every one made, I knew who it was before he got to me
“Are you okay?”James asked as he stood in front of me
“Yes,am okay”I said still shaking a bit
“I don’t think you are okay!”he said as he held my hand
“What are you doing?”I asked
“I will drive you in, you are still shaking from the shock”he said as he pushed me into his car and got in beside me .
I sat in the car and stared out only to see the rude jerk starring at me through the car.
James held my hand making me look at him and then he pecked it.
“What are you doing?”I asked trying to pull away but he held it tight
“Am I not even allowed to kiss your hand ?” He asked giving me a smile and then he began to drive off.
I turned to see if he was still standing there but he wasn’t there.
He wouldn’t have seen that kiss right? I thought.
As soon as James stopped the car, I got out of it and he did the same thing too
“Wait let me go in with you!”he said
“I’d rather you don’t do that, I want to go in my self”I said and with out waiting to hear his reply, I began to head in.
A lot of students were starring at me and am sure that it’s because of James, after all they would be wondering what a hot shot is doing with a girl like me.
With the help of no one, I got to the teacher office to register but I stopped when I saw him there already.
“Come in! You must have come to register too!”the teacher said leaving there no room for me to escape.
I walked in and as the teacher asked him some questions, he asked me too
“Your father is Max Callaghan, isn’t he that wealthy ty……”
“I would like it if you don’t talk about my father”he said quickly and the teacher stopped with his questions.
“Let me go and get your ID for you two”He said and walked out of the office.
There was silence in the room as soon as the teacher left, I turned to look at him,only to find him starring at me
“Do you have some thing to ask?”he asked
The thing about his father made me curious but I held it in
“Nothing!”I said swiftly hoping the teacher will get back soon, I don’t know why I always feel nervous around him.
“I have some thing to ask if you don’t !”he said and I turned to stare at him
“What?”
“Are you dating James?”he asked
“Of course not!”my answer was so swift that he gave me a smile
“Why do you ask and why are you smiling? Are you making fun of me because I don’t ……..”I stopped when he moved his chair close to mine
“Why are you coming close !”I asked shrinking back on my seat
“Tell me why he is always around you?”he asked
“Well that is because his father is a friend of my mom”I said
“You don’t like him right?”he asked again
“I don……wait why am I even answering your questions?”I said to myself
“If my father becomes your mom friend m, would you be close to me!”he asked softly
“Why would my mom be close to your father?”I asked
“Once a man and woman are close,it only means one thing and that is they are lovers, your mom being close with his dad certainly means some thing and you being close to that guy means some thing too, so quit the act and tell me right now, are you that guy lover?”he asked
“Really is that the only thing you can come up with! I can’t believe you said that!”I said getting angry
“Then tell me why he is always around you? A guy won’t act that way if you aren’t…….”
“Don’t you dare complete it, don’t you! I can tolerate any thing but you insulting my purity is some thing I won’t take from you or from any one else”I said seething with anger
“Just because he is always around me doesn’t mean that am sleeping with him and you having such thought makes you an idiot”I said and the teacher walked in handing us our ID card
“Your class is…….”
“My class is down by the right, I know it because you have told me, excuse me sir”I said and left the room.
I was still seething with anger as I went to my class.
Why would he think such a thing, it some how hurt hearing him say such a thing and I don’t even know why!.
