Episode 17

ROSE POV
“Rose have you seen this”Alexia my ti-ght best friend walked in showing me her phone

It was a picture of Max, Andrea and Jack. I was more surprised to see Jack in our uniform.

“What’s this”I asked

“Jack transferred to our school”Alexia said

“Do you know why?”I asked

“I don’t know but people are saying that it’s because of Andrea” Alexia said and my racing heart calmed a bit.

For a while I thought that Jack was back to get back at me for choosing Max over him but knowing that he was only here for Andrea calmed me a bit.

But when did he meet that girl that he had to leave everything just to come here for her.

He was never like that with me, he never gave me the attention I nee-d and when Max c@mĀ£ along, I was happy to choose Max over him

Then some thing I had seen in the picture got me asking

“Why is Max here? ”

“Well you know how it is between Max and Jack, Maybe they were just talking”Alexia said

I stared at the picture and saw that the two guys were looking at Andrea.

Andrea has been ma-king me worried these past few days.

After the nĀ£Ā¢klace incident, I have been thinking that her relationsh!pwith Max is something dee-per.

I just can’t stand it, I still love Max even when I know that am at fault for our break up but I still love him and I will get him back no matter what

“You know the girls and I can get Andrea to talk” Alexia said

“No don’t! Don’t do anything, I have something else in mind, Something that will get me close to them”I said as I smiled at Alexia.

ANDREA POV
“Tell us about yourself”

“Like your age, things you like and all that”

“How were you like in the states”

“Tell us what your favourite dish is”

I sighed as tiredly, it’s been the same question over and over again.

Ever since the teacher left, the students had gathered around us, well around Jack, most especially the girls, they all wanted to know more about the second most handsome guy in Jupiter clas-s.

Knowing that Jack’s purpose for this school is only to know what my secret is, they had to bring him to our clas-s and what’s worse.

He had to be sitting close to me, I thought as I pretended to be re-ading a book.

” I don’t have much to say” He said and they all gro-an ed

” Common tell us stĀ©p being secretive” a girl asked

“Am not being secretive, it’s just that I don’t feel like talking about myself, tell me do you all know things about yourself, do you?” He asked

“Of course we do” a girl said

“We all know each other house, each other siblings and more” Geoffrey said

“Really? I doubt you didn’t ask Andrea this, So why are you asking me”He said and I knew what he was trying to do

“That’s true, we didn’t ask Andrea all this”Beatrice said and I felt my heart beating fast.

I was saved from answering this questions before and now and now by Jack instigation I will be asked again

I stared at Jack and he gave me a shrug.

“Tell us Andrea, up till today, we don’t know who your parents are, we don’t even know your house!”Brenda asked

I sat still, my heart was beating fas-ter than normal, what am I going to tell them? I thought.

I found myself staring at Max but he was just facing his work and minding his business as usual.

Somehow I wanted his help but it seemed like he wouldn’t be minding me this time.

Am on my own right now, I thought sadly.

“Why aren’t you saying a thing, we want to know more about you ,how can he know your house while we your friend do not”Brenda said Pointing at Max

“Well I……”

“That’s because it’s not something you guys should know, if I know where she live is because it’s not too far to my family Villa”Max said suddenly and I felt so relieved

“Really! Your house is close to Max family Villa?”someone asked

“Yes………yes it is”I answered quic-kly

“Now that the interrogation is over, you all can kindly go to your seats, this is causing a lot of noise and it’s disturbing me”Max added

“Wait one more thing”Jack said and they all stĀ©pped

“Why don’t we all go to Andrea house tonight, we have to see it and perhaps we can have some Kind of get together, just like In Beatrice house”Jack said

“You are right jack”they all agreed and I found myself being stranded again.

What am I going to do, the house doesn’t even belong to me, I thought

I looked at Jack and when I saw the look he gave me, I got furious that I found myself saying “I think that will be fun, p@rty at my house after school”I said and every one felt so happy.

While they all went back to their respective seats, I sat still wondering what I just said, it wasn’t even my house.

Max was back to his book, he wasn’t even saying a thing, is he angry ? But he helped me a while back, why would he be angry, I thought.

I bent my head only for someone to push my hair out of the way.

“Let’s not get this in the way”Jack said beside me and I wanted to punch his face.

“Get lost”I muttered and he laughed

“What? Are you afraid that I am close to knowing the truth?” He asked gently

“What truth are you so bent on knowing, I told you that………”

“Once have seen your house,I might believe you, so tell me have you remembered what you did last night?”He asked

“Look I have better thi……….”I couldn’t finish my word because he k!$$Ā£d me on the cheek.

“That was the same thing you did last night”he said

“Wow! Did Jack just k!ssAndrea”Geoffrey asked and every one’s attention zoomed in on us.

“What! Why would he k!ssme”I denied quic-kly

“Common I saw it, I saw the k!sshe gave you, Are you two perhaps d@t!ng?”Geoffrey asked

“Of course not!”

“Do you think we are a match?”Jack asked them.

“Of course” they all said in unison

“You guys should stĀ©p it and stĀ©p it too Jack”I said to him

He just gave me a smile and before I could stĀ©p him again, he gave me a pe-ck on the cheek.

“They all think that we can make a perfect couple, so why don’t we just be one” he said everyone was surprised at his boldness.

I was also surprised by it but knowing that my only feelings towards him is hate, I stood up

“No, I doubt if you can be my perfect guy , excuse me guys”I said as I left the clas-s.

MAX POV
“Where could she be?”I said as I went to the libr@ry in search of Andrea.

It’s been a while since she left the clas-s and she hasn’t been back since then

Doesn’t she know that we have to talk about the lie we both create.

I never get involved in people’s affairs that much but recently have been getting involved in Andrea and I don’t even find it annoying.

“Isn’t she just pretty”on hearing some junior students.

I looked at the person who they were calling pretty and I found out that it was Andrea.

She sat at one of the field benches snacking on a Chocolate bar.

“Wow, she really is’ ‘another said and I found myself staring at her.

She was Chewing a chocolate bar and with just the way she was doing it, it made her look very beautiful.

Have seen other girls try to get my attention by doing this but they only make me more angry with their behaviour.

So why don’t I feel the same way now?

‘ that’s because she isn’t doing it to get anyone attention, most especially your attention’ my conscience said to me and I found myself smiling at my thought.

“What the hell is going on with me?”I muttered to myself .

I better go to her and talk to her,I thought as I headed towards her, unknown to me I was being watched by Jack at a distance.

I was about to get to her when I saw Rose approach her.

What the hell does she want? I thought as I picked up my pace towards them.

ANDREA POV
“Hello Andrea”on hearing Rose voice I stĀ©pped munching on my chocolate and then I gave her a glance

Why is she here ? And what other lies is she trying to come up with.

Just before I could say a thing, Max called me.

“We have some things to talk about, it’s best that we leave”He said and without waiting for my response he took my hand in his.

“You can’t leave yet, I c@mĀ£ to apologise to Andrea”Rose said and I stĀ©pped

“Am sorry for what I did at the teachers office”she apologised and I looked at her wanting to know if she is sincere or not

“We better go Andrea”Max said pu-lling me again but some one hold in my hand stĀ©pped me

I turned to see Jack beside me, “she is apologising , at least give her an answer before you leave “he said

“Andrea would have forgiven her if her apology was at least a sincere one”Max said

“And how are you sure that her apology is not a sincere one”Jack said

“You should know, you d@tĀ£d her too”Max said and the smile on Jack face disappeared

“Why don’t you deal with Rose, while I take Andrea with me”Max said pu-lling me only for him to stĀ©p again

Jack wasn’t letting me go and I stood in between the two guys staring at their angry faces

“I also have this urge to suddenly take Andrea with me, what will you do about that?”Jack asked as they both held each of my hands.

What mess have I gotten myself into.

Episode 18

JACK POV
FLASH BACK
(A year ago)

“let’s end it here Jack” Rose said as she pu-ll-ed out the ring I had given her as a sign of my love for her

“But why?, Why have you suddenly come to this conclusion”I asked her

“I just don’t want this again and I want to tell you this before you find out”

“What?”I asked

“Am now d@t!ngMax, Nick brother, I like him more and have given him a chance”She said not looking at me properly

“So you left me just for Max ?”I asked

“Don’t fret over it Jack, let’s just p@rt in a good way”

“No way, I won’t let Max take you from me” I told her as I stormed off

“Where are you going Jack” she called as she ran after me

“To see the bastard who wants to take you from me”I said as I got into my car.

I didn’t see Max at home but I did found him at our usual hang out.

“What’s going on Jack, you look terrible”Nick Max brother asked as soon I walked into the club

“Have come to settle some thing with your brother”I said pushing Nick out of the way

As soon as I got to him ,I gave him a punch ma-king every one around us stare at us

“Hey what was that for?” Max asked

“You bastard, how could you steal Rose from me”I said as I tried to hit him again only to be hit by Max himself

“I didn’t steal her from you”he replied

“Yes you did, you knew that we were d@t!ngyet you began to d@tĀ£ her”I said as I went towards him but Nick and the other guys were alre-ady pu-lling us ap@rt

“Rose and I love each other, you weren’t treating her right and when I c@mĀ£ along, she chose me”Max said

“I will kill you!”I yelled at him Rose arrival stĀ©pped me from doing a thing

“Just stĀ©p it Jack, I love Max and have chosĀ£n him, just accept it and leave”She yelled at me

Just hearing the girl I love tell me that she loves some one else made me realise that have lost her.

Shrugging Nick away, I left the club.

END OF FLASH BACK
It had been ha-rd back then to forget Rose and that was why I left for the states, I thought as I walked around the school, trying to get to know it better.

Just then I saw Rose, Max and Andrea by the court yard.

Seems like Max is getting attached to Andrea, I thought as I stared at their linked hands.

Why don’t I have a bit of fun, with that thought in my head, I went towards them and before he could pu-ll Andrea away , I held her hand.

“She is apologising , at least give her an answer before you leave “I said starring at Andrea and Max

“Andrea would have forgiven her if her apology was at least a sincere one”Max replied

“And how are you sure that her apology is not a sincere one”I asked

“You should know, you d@tĀ£d her too”Max said

His reply caught me off guard and it got me feeling angry.

“Why don’t you deal with Rose, while I take Andrea with me”Max said pu-lling Andrea away but my hold on her didn’t drop.

“I also have this urge to suddenly take Andrea with me, what will you do about that”I asked and judging from Max expression, he was totally pissed.

Max moved towards me but Andrea words stĀ©pped him from saying any thing.

“Max and I have to talk about some thing, I will talk to you later”she said and pu-ll-ed her hand out of mine.

I stood watching her leave with Max and some how I got angrier.

“Don’t tell me you are also into that girl” Rose said behind me and I turned to give her a look

“And you still long for Max right? Tell me what broke you guys up, did you find some one else and dump him or did he find some one and dump you”I asked

“Sacarcism doesn’t suit you”

“Since you are avoiding my question, then it must be that Max dump you and don’t worry, I won’t ask why, am not going to pry but I like it, you have also experience the same thing you did to me, have a nice day Rose”I said and walk past her.

ANDREA POV
I sat on the pillar while Max stood by the balcony starring down at the students who were walking about.

We had chosĀ£n the school roof tĀ©p to talk because we didn’t want any distraction and we also did not want any to listen to our conversation.

“The villa on its is big and spacious, it has five be-drooms, two kitchen, two sitting room and a large hall, the guys can stay in the hall for the get together tonight and………….”he stĀ©pped suddenly to stare at me

“Have you been following me”he asked and I nodded

“I doubt that”he said

“Of course I have, this is very important to me and so I have to do my best”I said showing him the book and pen I had held with me

“Tell me something , what will you do, if the truth comes out some day” he asked

“I haven’t thought about that yet and I don’t want to think about it, I only want to focus on the presĀ£nt”I said

“And thanks! Thanks for helping me back in clas-s”I said as I stood up and walk towards him.

“I didn’t do it for you, I did it because I felt bad towards the other kids, you keep on leading them on with your lies”he said and I smiled

“It’s the only thing I can do and even if you are not doing it for me, I still want to thank you “I said

“You don’t have to, shall we continue our discussion, you nee-d to know more about the villa”he said and I nodded

I turned heading back to pillar only for me to trip on my sneakers lace.

I would have fallen if Max hadn’t caught me, I thought as I stood still in his arms

“Are you okay” he asked as he turned me in his arms

“Yes I am”I replied starring up at him.

We both stood still, looking at each other , this is the first time am standing very close to Max.

Suddenly my heart began to race fast and I could feel my cheeks going red.

quic-kly I tried to pu-ll out of his arms but he held me back

“You have some thing on your face” he said as he gently wiped off some thing from my face.

His tĀ©uƧh sĀ£nt shivers along my bĀ©dy and quic-kly I pu-ll-ed away from him.

“What’s wrong?”he asked

“I……….I think have learnt enough with this, I will see you in clas-s”I said as I left the roof tĀ©p in a hurry.

I walked throu-gh the path that led back to my clas-s, thinking of what just happened a while ago.

Why was my heart beating so fast and why was I feeling h0t, it’s not some thing I ate right, I thought tou-ching my stomach

“Hey! What have you been up to with Max”Jack said as he walked towards me

“None of your business”I replied as I kept on walking

Just then an idea popped into my head , I stĀ©pped and turned towards Jack

“Hey! hold my hand”

“What?”

“Just hold my hand”I said again

“Why would you want me to hold your hand “he asked

“Just do it and stĀ©p asking me questions”I said

“Fine”he said and took my hand in his

I felt nothing, my heart was still beating normal and I wasn’t feeling h0t.

It might just have been the weather, I thought as I pu-ll-ed my hand out of Jack

“What was that for?”he asked

“I just wanted to confirm some thing”I replied

“What?”

“That am perfectly okay ”

“What does that mean”

“You will never un-derstand”I said as I walked off.

MAX POV
“I want my as-signment first thing tomorrow” the teacher said as the bell got closing was rung.

“Yes sir” we all answered and as soon as he left, we all began to pack our stuff.

“Time to p@rty” Beatrice said as she stood up also packing her stuffs.

I looked at Andrea only to see her looking pale and a bit with drawn.

She should be feeling happy right? I had lied just to make her feel relieved , she knows every thing she has to know about the Villa, every one would not know the truth about her and so why is she still looking sad.

She looked up and found me starring at her ,she f0rƧĀ£d a smile on her face and from Beatrice pressure, she stood up and left the clas-s.

I stood up too, putting the rest of my book in my bag and just then Jack walked towards me

“What now?”I asked

“You are coming to the p@rty right?”he asked

“How does that matter to you?” I asked

“Just wanted to know so I can prepare a surprise for you” he said

“Tell me, did you come to this because of me”i asked

“You are not that important and I c@mĀ£ because of some one else”he said

“Don’t you want to know who it is?”he added

“It’s none of my business, do whatever you want”I added as I began to walk off

“I c@mĀ£ because of Andrea”on hearing what he said,I stĀ©pped

“What?”I asked

“Seems like Andrea is your business, I think I will be having a whole lot of fun”he said and feeling angry, I went back to him, pu-lling him by his shi-t.

“Dont mess with Andrea”I said

“What can I do? I can’t help but to want to mess with her”he said smiling at me.
