Chapter 9
Jennie Wilson POV
” I’ll be back” Rose said. I nodded at sat on the chair. A person form little far away rotated his stool towards me. I froze. Vincent!
He is still in the bar! Woah! You look drunk! How much he drank!?
He was looking at me and started drinking again without taking his eyes of me like he was challenging me.
What do you think? I will stop you from drinking? Huh drink how much ever you want. Damage your kidneys, liver, etc etc I don’t care. Drink the whole bottle…… or the whole bar… or drink the whole Nile River but I will not give a shit.
Suddenly a beautiful Asian girl started coming towards me and sat beside me, driving my attention to her.
” Hi my name is Jisoo” she gave a 100 megawatt smile. She was so beautiful, black hair, perfect skin, she was so flawless. I was stars trucked by her beauty. I nodded and smiled at her.
” Hi, I am Jennie”
” I know……” She knows me!? How come I don’t know her…… did I miss something…… don’t tell me she is another classmate of mine……
She noticed my curiosity ” I am Aaron’s girlfriend…” Who’s Aaron?
Then suddenly a person came towards us…… hey it’s the guy I met him in the cafe…… the house…… at the Hunsberg University…… in short Vincent’s friend.
Well he was tall maybe 6’2…… why everyone is tall in his group……
He was so handsome, but he looked domesticated…… like not so rude boy…… he was giving a good boy vibes…… unlike Vincent and Blake. He gave a genuine smile at me.
“Hi I am Aaron…… you probably have seen me…” I nodded shyly.
Rose came towards us and said ” Bro can you drop Jennie too, she is not feeling well”
” What happened!? Are you alright!?” He asked concern lasing his voice.
” Nothing much, I feel little tired that’s all, I am not used to these kind of atmosphere ” I said nervously.
“It’s ok dear, we will drop you! Anyway we were about to leave” Jisoo smiled at me, pating my back. I hugged Rose and we left the place.
……
Jen! Jennie!…….
I could hear someone calling me in the background.
JENNIE!
Why is she shouting?
“Damn Jennie! Wake up!” I could hear her voice clearly now.
Wait? Wake up?? I am sleeping?……
I opened my eyes little to see Harper standing in front of me with both of her hands on her waist.
” Now get up and be ready” she huffed and walked away.
Shit! Was I dreaming!? I dreamt about him…??
I looked at my arms and my back to see the marks he gave me but there was none.
Umm…… I think it was a dream…… but what is the day today?
I stretched my hands towards my mobile phone and looked at the screen.
Oh it’s Monday! This means…… last night was Sunday…… it was not a dream…… it was real…
My eyes went to the time on the screen…… shit! It’s already 8 am…… I will be late to the class!!
I hurriedly went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and came out. I went to the kitchen to see Harper has finished eating.
” See you Jennie at the college” She said washing her hands.
“Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?” I asked frustrated.
“Are you serious Miss Jennie Wilson?” She said raising her eyebrows. “You were sleeping like you were half dead, I was waking you up from the time I woke up. Now I’ll be late. Bye”
“Where’s Rose!?”
” She didn’t come back, she stayed with her brother last night, bye come fast ok…… I will be in college”
I took my dress out and went to the shower.
After getting ready I was going towards the door but mom’s voice started ringing in my ear.
‘You should always have something in the breakfast before you go out or else your stomach will roar all the day’
Urghh!!!
I ate what Harper left in the kitchen and it was already 8: 45 am.
I call the cab and praying in my mind…… please please please God! I don’t want to be late in Mrs. Williams class. She will roast me if I get late.
The cab stopped at the gate and I hurried after giving the fare.
8:56…… I entered the college
8: 58 I reached my department…… and started running towards my classroom.
9:02……
” May…… I come in mam” I huffed, I was going out of breath, because I was running all the way like Usain Bolt.
Mrs. Williams gave me a death glare.
” What time is it…… are you out of your mind… what’s your excuse kid”
“I…… I…… am……” but she let me in after giving me multiple stares.
Everybody was staring at me now…… I hated attention. I hurriedly went towards Harper to sit. Someone tapped me from behind.
“Hey……” I turned and looked at him. Hayden! I smiled at him and turned front. I was nervous, he was looking so hot and handsome of course.
After 4 classes we had lunch break. Finally!! We settled in our college canteen.
” Uh…… this biochemistry sucks so much…… it doesn’t go on my mind” Rose whined.
” Why were you dancing with Blake!?” I was dying to ask this question to Harper from the last night.
” Oh he, he is a nice guy after all, he apologized me and said he didn’t mean anything at all, he asked me for a dance…… so sweet of him……”
” He apologized me so sincerely, I couldn’t say no, besides you always say whoever forgives a person’s mistake and give them a chance, have a big and kind heart. So…… I have a big heart.” She grinned widely.
“That’s my girl ” Rose hugged her.
” Blake is in industrial engineering, even other boys too…… well I kind of admit he’s hot” Harper smiled at her words. Harper and her theory. I sighed.
Suddenly my eyes went to a group of people. It’s them…… everyone was present…… Vincent, Blake , Aaron, Emma, Jisoo, Xavier. They were searching for a place to sit.
Oh God ! Why are they here…… I hid my face with my hands and peeped through the gap between my fingers.
They finally moved to go sit down somewhere, but my relief was short-lived because of all the booths in this diner, they sat in one next to ours.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
I willed myself to look at Vincent and almost groaned in displeasure when I saw he sat facing me, but then I met his eyes, and I felt a jolt down on my stomach.
His gaze was unblinking, his face serious, my chest ached with unspoken feelings, which came from a twisted place that dismissed the fact that he was abusive towards me all the time.
I lowered my head and imagined throwing the rest of my cheeseburger in his face, once more trying to hide behind my hair, but I knew it was useless. I could never hide from him.
” Hey Rose! ” Emma shouted from there. Shit! Can’t they leave us alone…
Rose turned and looked at their direction. ” Emma, Xavier…… wow you all are here!!”
I felt everybody’s gaze on me. My cheeks burned as I bit my cheeseburger again, so subconscious of myself that eating became a torture. I didn’t feel any taste as I chewed, looking at the random photos in my Instagram feed so I wouldn’t have to look at him.
” Hey what’s up everyone” Xavier said after the waitress took their orders, turning around, and slapped Rose on her shoulder in what seemed to be friendly gesture.
” Tonight’s race is going to be fun” I heard Emma say.
” Not so fun because they are piece of cake. It will be a easy victory for Blake and Vincent” Xavier added.
” Wow…… like a real race!!?…… I wanted to see it once in my life.” Harper said excitedly.
“Well then…… you are invited to see it” Blake smiled at her.
” Yay……” Harper chirped . She was asking so many questions like a amused kid and Blake!? He was so calm and answering her every question. Woah I never saw that side of him.
” Vincent is the ace of the game, the skill and strength of him and Blake, this is going to be a easy victory for them” Emma said as if it was the fact.
” Like always” Blake said in his deep voice.
” Don’t sound too smug, bro. I heard some rumours about some guy who’s supposedly unbeatable. They are saying he’ll be racing at the track soon.” Rose said.
” Let him come. I’ll show him how it’s done.” Vincent talked big, and before I could stop myself, I pull my gaze from my screen to look at Vincent.
My throat closed up because he was already looking at me, his fiery gaze making me feel like there was no one else in the diner for him but me. It didn’t make sense. If he hated me so much, he shouldn’t be paying attention to me. He shouldn’t be looking at me like that.
“So you are coming right!?” Emma said looking at me.
” Huh! Me!? No no…… I am not into such things…… I am not coming” I shuttered.
” Oh come on it’s going to be fun” Jisoo pouted.
” Sorry but I can’t come…… I have to study and I have some work to do”
” Ha! Nerd, can’t even enjoy her life” Harper cooed. I gave her a death glare.
” I think we should get going, lunch time is over ……” I said nervously.
” Okay meet you at the race then…… bye bye ” Rose said getting up from there. We were off to our class.
After all the classes…….
” You peoples should get going I will catch up…… I need to ask some doubt to Mrs Williams…” I made an excuse…… I wanted to spend time alone.
” Okay…… see you soon……” Rose said and she went off with Harper.
I went to the terrace, where there were no people, you could see whole Hunsberg University. The wind was flowing smoothly. I relaxed, leaving my hand in the air. Then suddenly I heard a voice.
” Hey……”
I jolted when I heard a sound…… a guy voice! I turned to look who he was.
“Uh…… hi…… Hayden” oh God why is he here!?……
He started coming towards me, my heart was beating crazily. He smiled at me. God! He is so charming……
” What are you doing here……!?”
” Umm…… relaxing I guess……”
” Yeah…… right…… uh…… do you have microbiology notes…… I mean…… of previous class…” he said ruffling his hair. He looked cute when his hair was messed up. I bet he was nervous…… so cute!!!
“Yeah sure, wait a sec” I opened my bag and searched the microbiology notes and gave it him shyly, because his gaze was on me…… and my heart was beating crazily.
