**CHAPTER SIX**
************
Chloe quic-kly disĀ£ngaged from him and got down
Richa-rd got down too to face Snow’s burning look
“It’s not what you think” Richa-rd said defensively
“Yes Bess, I was just trying to…
” Shut your tra-p Chloe!, I never knew you could be this despicable, how could you be thinking of sĀ£dƻƧ!ng him” Snow said
” Well isn’t it obvious?, He’s too handsome” Chloe replied
“I thought we said we won’t have anything to do with commoners?” Snow said
“commoners my foot, I don’t think I’ll be able to work with that ideology again, so far it’s cute, than we’re cool” Chloe replied
” Unbelievable!” Snow remarked and rolled eyes at her before picking the file in the car
“Follow me in” she said to Richa-rd son before going in
Richa-rd followed him behind
Chloe drove out In dissappointment
Snow got to her office and sat on the chair heavily
She sighed before facing Richa-rd
“Drop the file on the table” she said
“Yes ma’am” he replied and did
“aren’t you ashamed of yourself?, You and my friend in my car” Snow said
” It wasn’t intentional, she caught me by surprise” Richa-rd replied, bowing
“look at him talking, you know I really don’t care if it’s intentional or not, you’re still the lowly guy I know, you’re nothing but a…
“Bloody commoner, I know, stĀ©p reminding me” Richa-rd interrupted slowly
“You just talked?” Snow said, standing up from her seat
She moved closer to him and stood in front of him
“Did you just talk back?, Same thing you did on Saturday” she demanded
His handsomeness is glaring and that alone is annoying, ” a Commoner shouldn’t be handsome to me” she thought and raised her hand to hit him but he ducked by bending down and mistakenly hit his head on the wall
The wound on his head that’s healing up alre-ady opened up again, blood gushed out
Snow covered her mouth in shock and bent over to him as his head bled
“You shouldn’t have tried to duck, are you stupid?” She said pathetically
“do you have to be harsh while sympathizing too?” Richa-rd asked, looking up at her
She stared at every p@rt of his face and her heart leapt at his perfection
She got hold of herself quic-kly and stood
Richa-rd stood too, the blood has stĀ©pped flowing by now but the front of his clothe is stained a bit
“Go..go to the hospital and get yourself treated* she said calmly
“No, a first aid kit will do,if I get that, I’d treat it myself” he replied
She immediately went inside the inner office and brou-ght it out
“I’ll nee-d a mirror to watch my face with while cleaning up the wound” he said
She never replied,she placed the kit on the table and pu-ll-ed him to sit on a chair
She sat in front of him and opened the kit
She started treating the wound, holding his face
Richa-rd smiled at the seriousness on her face even while treating his wounds, her nice side is cute but her other side is…call it anything
He smiled as he watched her dress the wound
Their eyes suddenly met and it stayed like that for some minutes
“Why?” Richa-rd son thought
“Hisl-ips” Snow thought, staring at them
“Wait…why am I even doing this?, Oh my! snow you’re going Crazy” she thought and stood abruptly
She threw the cotton wool at him
*Do it yourself,go inside that restroom and you’ll find a mirror,darn it!” She said she rushed out of the office
Richa-rd smiled before taking the kit and entering the restroom

Elite high, lunch time***
“Let’s eat at the cafeteria together” Gianna said to Drake immediately the lunch bell sounded
“I think I’m ok, I don’t want to eat anything” he replied
“Oh come on” she said and pu-ll-ed him up from his seat
The students stared at them
” Just what is their relationsh!p* Pinky wondered
“She must be the one who helped him into the school, she’s trying to control him” Riley said.. Riley is her best and only friend
” Maybe” Pinky replied, looking at them as they left the clas-s together
Gianna kept holding his hand but he re-moved it
“And you, do you know him?” Riley asked
“Somehow” Pinky replied
” We should go to the cafeteria too” Riley replied and pu-ll-ed her out of the clas-s
They got to the cafeteria and took their seats
Pinky kept stealing glances at Drake as he chatted and laughed with Gianna
“His dimples are enough to drive anyone crazy just like Richa-rd said” she said loudly without knowing
Riley smiled and waved her hand in front of her eyes
” What?” She asked absĀ£ntmindedly, still looking at Drake
“You better stĀ©p crushing if you want to live long, now that he’s with the spoilt badas-s” Riley said
” I guess he hasn’t known how wicked she is, he hasn’t noticed that she has no friends, no one will make friends with that bit-ch and that’s why everyone hates her” Pinky said, still staring at Drake
Drake looked sidewards and caught her staring
“Who’s she?, She’s pretty” he thought as Pinky hid her face
Gianna noticed he’s staring away and stood
“Let’s leave* she said
Drake wondered why she wants things in her own way
“I’m not leaving yet” he replied
Gianna sat down disappointedly
He looked back at where Pinky is sitting and she’s gone alre-ady
“Where’s she?’ he wondered
*****
” Why did you suddenly want us to leave the cafeteria?” Riley asked when she got out with Pinky
“He caught me staring” she replied quic-kly as they stepped into the empty clas-s
Riley started laughing
“Be careful, I don’t want any fights between you and Gianna again this term” Riley said.
” Now that you said it, i really haven’t fought with her this term but I have a feeling we’ll fight soon” Pinky thought
The lunch break ended and students rushed into the clas-s, Pinky kept her head down cos she doesn’t want to make any eyes contact with Drake
Drake entered the clas-s with Gianna but refused to let her hold his hand this time around
He scanned the clas-s for the girl earlier though he’s not sure weather she’s in his clas-s or his sĀ£nior
She recognized her by her hairpin as she layed her head on her table
He really wants to get a full look at her face but he never had the chance till he got to his seat
He sat and that’s when she looked up
“Their eyes met immediately cos she’s sitting not far from him
She looked away just like she did in the laboratory
“Why?, Is my face scary?” He asked himself
” Drake,let’s go eat out together after school ok?” Gianna said behind him
” I don’t think so,I have things to do* he replied
*You’re turning me down?, I thought we’re friends” she said, looking at him intently
” Gianna don’t take it that way, I have things to do means I have to help my mum out at home, I don’t mean to turn you….
“Whatever” Gianna snapped and looked away
“Are you angry?” He asked but she kept mute, expecting him to beg her
“Cool” Drake thought and let her be
“He’s not going to beg me?” Gianna thought
Drake stood abruptly and wanted to go out
“Drake” Gianna called authoritatively
He looked back
“Yes”
“Nevermind” she replied
Drake left the clas-s , deciding to go round the school and study the environment
“I’ll be back” Pinky said to Riley and also left the clas-s
” She’s right, there’ll really be a big fight soon” Riley thought
Pinky saw him entering the sports complex and followed him
Drake looked back and saw her coming in
“You” he said, coming closer
“Hi” Pinky waved
“You know me?” Drake asked
“Drake Larry” she replied
” Everyone knows, the teacher introduced me” he replied
” I mean even before you were introduced,your brother told me about you, Richa-rd ” Pinky said
” You know my brother?” He asked
“of course, he’s my sister’s driver” she replied
” Oh, so you’re Pinky White” he said
” Sure”
” Whoa, I’m glad to meet you” he said cheerfully as they shook hands , staring at each other
Gianna c@mĀ£ in and stormed straight to where they’re standing
“What are you doing with her?” She questioned Drake
“What do you mean by that?” Drake asked
“I mean,you shouldn’t be with her” Gianna said
“Why?” Drake asked
Pinky decided to keep mute
“You’re friends with me,you shouldn’t be friends with any other person” she replied, staring daggers at Pinky
” If being friends with you won’t make me mingle with others, then i can’t do it” Drake said and left the hall, deciding to ignore her just like she did in clas-s earlier
He looked back
“See ya around Pinky” he said before going out
“You’re trying to steal him” Gianna said, facing Pinky
“He’s not your bĀ©yfriĀ£nd” Pinky replied
*He’ll still be” Gianna said
“Then calm down baby, it’s a free world” Pinky replied and left the place, leaving Gianna dumbfounded

Snow opened the bottle of wine by herself as she got it from her office mini bar
She poured it into the glas-s cu-p and sipped it slowly, thinking about Richa-rd again
Honestly he can’t think of anything else,he’s just too perfect
And she almost k!$$Ā£d him in the morning… it’s close!
“I’m glad I didn’t” she thought as she gulped down another sip
She dropped the cu-p and stood
She pu-ll-ed up the blinds with the remote just to steal glances at him in the reception
She saw him sitting and fiddling with his phone, he looks cute anyhow
She smiled but when he’s about to look up,she pu-ll-ed down the blinds
Almost immediately, she felt uncomfortable, like her stomach is hurting and her head
She thought it was minor at first but it later grew worse
“Maybe I nee-d a cold shower and a rest” she thought
She gr@bbĀ£d her bag and went out
Richa-rd followed her till they got to the car
“Drive me home, I’m feeling somehow” she said
“Yes boss” he replied and drove as fast as possible
They got home and she rushed in
“What’s up with her?” He thought
Snow got to her room and yanked off her clothes before going into the bathroom
But as she bathed, the headache and stomach ache increa-sed, this time the stomach ache is more
She suddenly saw blood on the ground
It’s actually coming out of her nose
Her stomach gr!ppĀ£dher again and she fell in pains
She held it ti-ght and managed to tie her towel round her bĀ©dy
“Richa-rd !” She called as she tried to get out of the bathroom
Richa-rd head her voice and rushed upstairs
Blood is coming out of her mouth too now
And she feels she’ll die anytime soon
“Richa-rd help!” She shouted with the remaining strength in her
The door pushed open and he entered the bathroom
She fell into his arms with blood allover
Richa-rd ‘s eyes c@mĀ£ wi-de with shock at the blood allover
“Save me , plea-se” she muttered slowly before closing her eyes
