Jeanne’s Pov:
He took his eyes from the paper and looked at Mr Leonard.
“Jeanne Raymond” he called and a wild g@sp ran across the crowd.
Whaaat?
Did I hear him correctly?
Did…did he just call my name?
Oh, my God!
I got paired up with Alex?
Are you kidding me???
I gulped nervously and stepped out. The entire students were all staring and talking wistfully.
I stood in front of Alex, but he didn’t look at me.
Then, we walked over to a stand together.
Seriously, I can’t believe this. I can’t believe I’ll be working with Alex.
I’m really nervous.
You know he can be annoying sometimes.
I didn’t want to look at Kim because I knew she might end up killing me with her looks.
The pickings went on and Kim got paired up with a very handsome guy – but of course, she didn’t like him.
Finally, the pickings were over and we were all standing with our p@rtners in front of a table which contained all the catering equipments and ingredients.
Mr Leo addressed us on what to do and made it clear we only had an hour for the baking.
Then, we all got busy and he left the clas-s, but made it clear he’d be back.
I gulped nervously and looked at Alex. How do we do this?
Are we really going to work as a team?
But thinking of it, am I expecting a loverboy to work in the kitchen? Get his hands stained and all that?
How the hell are we going to do it?
I looked at the rest of the Loverboys and noticed they were all busy with their p@rtners. Geez!
Why did I have to end up with someone like Alex?
It isn’t like I don’t like it; I just have a feeling I’ll be in for trouble.
Carl looked at me and laughed and I sighed.
Then, I looked back at Alex and…Holy Mary!
$h!t!
You wouldn’t believe what this guy’s doing right now.
He’s actually siting and pla-ying a candy crush game with his phone.
Whaaat?
I opened my mouth and looked at him in shock, but as usual, he didn’t even look at me; like I was invisible or something.
I took in a de-ep breath. I guess I’m my own p@rtner here.
I opened my book and started working with the steps.
I mixed the margarine and sugar and next, I added the eggs.
Alex was still enjoying his game.
Just then, Mr Leo c@m£ into the clas-s. But I guess Alex didn’t sp©t him.
“Alex!” Mr Leo called strictly as he marched to our table.
“Your job isn’t to act as a supervisor, Alex. You’re to p@rticipate in the practical. What’s this?” He asked a little angrily and Alex rolled his eyes and stood up.
He looked bittered.
He t©uçhed his forehead and c@m£ to me.
“Fine! What am I doing?” He asked huskily and t©uçhed his forehead again.
Mr Leo shook his head and walked away, going to supervise another set.
Alex sighed and t©uçhed the bowl of the mixture.
“What the hell am I expected to do?” He asked churlishly and I scoffed.
I seriously hope he isn’t trying to pour out his anger on me.
I mean, I’m not Mr Leo’s daughter.
I gulped nervously and looked around.
What could I possibly ask him to do?
The leader of the Loverboys.
“Uhm…We…We nee-d to pour in the floor, sir” I told him and he took the whole bowl of floor and tried pouring it in at once.
“No, no, no, sir. It…It isn’t done that way” I told him quic-kly and he sighed and dropped the bowl.
“Then what? How else do we pour it in?” He asked impatiently.
Gosh!
“it’s…Uhm..to be added by bit by bit. Like, a cu-p before the other.” I replied and he nodded and took a cu-p of the floor and poured it into the bowl whole I mixed.
He watched as I mixed it and with the way he looked, it all seemed to be a waste of time for him.
Then, he added the rest of the floor and while turning it in, it poured on my palm.
“Sorry” he said and rolled his eyes like he was f0rç£d to apologise.
“I’m an artist, not a caterer” he added and I just smiled and cleaned off the floor off my palm.
Hold on; does Alex realise he’s talking to me?
I mixed the rest of the ingredients and greased the baking pan, re-ady to pour in the mixture.
Alex watched me pour the contents into the pan and when I was done, he carried it into the pan and we fixed it into the oven.
“So, what is left to do?” He asked after closing the oven.
“Uhm…wait for the cake to get baked, sir” I replied with a bow and he scoffed and I wondered why.
Then he returned to his seat and continued with his game.
“Alex, what the hell are you doing?” Mr Leo asked immediately.
“I’m waiting for the cake to bake” he replied, still fixing his eyes on the phone.
“Well, keep that phone away” Mr Leo said.
“What? Am I supposed to place my hand on my chin and worsh!pthe oven while it bakes?” Alex replied and the students couldn’t help laughing.
Mr Leo stood and shut him an angry stare and he rolled his eyes and turned off the phone.
He sat, seething with anger and I stared away.
After a while, the cake was baked and I opened the oven and brou-ght it out.
“Finally” I heard Alex mumble and I shook my head and turned back to the cake.
Then, the rest of the students also brou-ght out theirs and finally, it was time for Mr Leo to have a taste of it and give out the marks.
He c@m£ to ours and when he tasted it, it was obvious he liked it.
He wrote down in his book and moved to the nest table.
I wish we get to win.
And when he was done, he stood in front of us and opened his book.
“You all did a wonderful job” he said.
“But the best here is…well, team Jeanne and Alex” he announced and my eyes beamed.
The students began cl@pping immediately and I turned and looked at Alex who had an ‘i don’t care’ expression on.
Geez!
We won it!
“Good job, Jeanne” Mr Leo said and I smiled happily and bowed.
Then, he went ahead to call the other scores and it was noted Kim’s team c@m£ 5th.
Oh – oh.
Immediately, she walked out of the clas-s.
Seriously?
Then, Alex stood up and cut a little piece of the cake and tasted it.
He ate with relishment.
“Good job” he said in a whispering tone and walked away while I stared at him in amusement.
I couldn’t st©p smiling.
Alex said something good about me.
Did you see that?
Oh, my gee!

Jeanne’s Pov:
I went for my training afterwards and when we were done, I followed Megan to her house – as agreed.
“You didn’t tell me you were working for the loverboys, Jeanne” she said as we stepped down from the car.
she had gotten to know about it on Saturday.
“I’m sorry megan. I just didn’t thought it was necessary” I replied as we entered the sitting room.
Wow! Her house was fabulous. They were doubly rich and I wondered what her mother does for a living to acquire all these wealth.
“Are you kidding me?” She looked at me and asked as I took a seat.
“You didn’t think it was necessary? Of course, it is. I’d have been paying you unlimited visits” she said and I laughed.
“Besides, why didn’t you let me visit you when you were sick?” She asked, leaning on a table.
“I’m sorry Megan. But I was scared of the loverboys reaction. They don’t really appreciate the pres£nce of ladies in the mansion” I replied.
“Oh! Alex, right?” She asked and I nodded.
“Hm. So, how were you able to work there, then? I thought he’d have driven you away?” She asked.
“Well…He tried to. But his mum is the only reason I’m still there”.
“Wow! That sounds serious. So have you gotten to know any secrets yet? Like, why he dislikes ladies?” She asked and I shook my head.
“Mmm. Too bad.
“So tell me; what re the loverboys like, huh? How do you feel around them? Do you get to t©uçh them? Do they come home with their girlfriends?” She asked enthusiastically and sat next to me.
I laughed.
“Well…they’re friendly a bit – especially Carl. But Alex…he’s unpredictable” I replied and she nodded slowly.
“Do you get to t©uçh them? Have you k!$$£d any of them?”
“Megan!” I called and laughed hysterically.
“What are you saying? I’m just a nanny there. How can I k!ssthem?” I asked and she smiled.
“Well, you see, you’re just so lucky. I wish I were in your shoes. I’m re-ady to give up my birth certificate just to work in that mansion and be close to them. I had wanted to go to the Alpha High school but mum wouldn’t approve of it”.
I was laughing because of what she said.
“So…shall we proceed to the kitchen?” I asked after a pause.
“Yeah. Just a second” she said and hurried to the fridge, probably taking a drink out of it.
I took my eyes around, admiring the beauty of the place.
My eyes got to the stars and I saw someone – a young woman -walking away.
She was putting on a long red go-wn that swept the floor and I couldn’t see her face because she was alre-ady walking away.
Huh? Who was she? And why was she leaving even before entering the room?
I looked at Megan who took out a drink and closed the fridge. She probably didn’t see the woman.
I was about telling her about it but just then, a call c@m£ into her phone.
“Mum?” She called on the phone, looking surprised.
The call was on loud speaker and I could hear her mother’s voice from the other line.
“Come upstairs, now!” The woman said strictly and ended the call and even Megan was startled at the way she had spoken.
She paused in a ruminative mood.
“Uhm…I’ll be right back, Jeanne” she said and took the stairs and I stared in amusement.
Are you sure everything’s fine?
Megan’s pov:
I felt so curios as I climbe-d the stairs to mum’s room. Why did she have to call me on phone to come up? Why didn’t she just come down stairs and say what she wanted to say?
I opened the door and walked into her room and there I met her, facing the window.
But immediately she noticed my entrance, she turned and faced me.
“Why the hell did you bring that lady here?” She snapped and I scoffed and looked at my back, then back at her.
She was really taking to me.
“Who’re you talking about mum?”: I asked, bewildered.
“St©p pla-ying games with me, Megan. The lady downstairs. What the hell is she doing here?”
Okay; this is getting really weird. I’m confused alre-ady.
“Mum, chill. What’re you talking about? She…she’s my friend. And she c@m£ here to teach me how to make sau…”
“I don’t give a damn what she c@m£ here to do, Megan. She isn’t accepted in my house. So get her out of here” she said.
“Mum, are you trying to say I’m not allowed to bring friends to the house anymore?”
‘You can bring anyone you want to, Megan. But not Jeanne”.
Her eyes dimmed immediately and her face went cold. It dawned on her she had said something she shouldn’t had said.
“Y…you know her?” I asked confused.
She covered her face with her palm and sighed.
“Damn it! This is the reason I never wanted you to go to that stupid place in the first place. Now, you’re alre-ady getting me into trouble” she groused. .
I scoffed and looked at her.
“Wh…what’re you talking about?” I asked.
“Listen to me, Megan; I don’t want you to have anything to do with that lady. And keep her away from me.
“Now, get her away from me before I do something crazy” she said belligerently and started towards the door.
“Mum…” I tried calling but she snapped at me.
“Get her out of here before I do it myself” she said churlishly and walked out the door.
I stood with my mouth open. I couldn’t move because of the shock.
Why does mum know Jeanne from? And why does she want her to leave?
Could she be hiding something?
Jeanne’s Pov:
I waited a long time for Megan to return and after a while, she returned.
But, I noticed she was kind of looking broody.
She walked slowly and stood in front of me. And she was trying not to look at me.
“Uhm…Jeanne” she called and stood in front of me.
“I’m…Uhm…I’m sorry to say this, but…my mum…she wants you to leave.” She said and I furrowed my brows.
“Your mum?” I asked; muddled.
“Yes. She said she doesn’t want any visitors at the moment.”
I scoffed and stood up and she looked at me.
I was surprised.
I looked at the stairs, then back at her.
Then, I sighed.
“Okay then. I’ll be on my way” I said and gr@bb£d my bag from the chair.
Then she held my hand.
“I’m sorry, Jeanne. Well, you know my mum, I told you about her before, right?” She said remorsefully and I smiled and t©uçhed hers.
“You don’t nee-d to worry about it. I un-derstand.
“See you tomorrow” I said with a smile and left.
As I walked out the door, I couldn’t help but think about the whole thing.
Why did Megan’s mum want me to leave?
Could it be true she really didn’t want any visitors at the moment?
Or she just made that up?
And with the way Megan was looking, I wonder what they talked about in the room.
Anyway, it’s her house and she has the right to do whatever she wants to.
Too bad I didn’t get to see her face.
I got to the road and boarded a cab, heading home.
TBC.😏
