30. Cara and her attitude

Chapter Thirty – Cara and her attitude.

I walked away from them and joined the line. Since when did Reuben become my problem? They could both argue till death if they liked.
I was too close behind Chris so I moved back. But he turned and gave me a cheeky smile, I casually smiled back.
“Hey, bro” Chloe came behind me and greeted Chris.
“Sup” and he turned back again to move forward as someone left.
The line didn’t move till the next till the next twelve minutes. I was tired of school for a day and wanted to go home. Today was going too long with lost of realizations.
Chloe stretched her neck to see who was delaying and face slammed.
“Who?” Sheena and I said at the same time.
“Who else? The goddess Cara” she whined tiredly.
I kind of knew it would be Cara. She’s been too quiet and hadn’t been acting up. I’d been looking forward to her.
“Hasten your butt, would ya? We still have other classes” Chris yelled at her.
I tried to look over to see what exactly she was doing but my height and Chris' broad shoulders said no.
It was like she was looking for who’d speak against her cos the moment Chris spoke she bounced to us.
A student among us wanted to use the chance to move forward to sign but Cara blocked the student and pushed her backwards.
“Hey Chris, you ask like you even care about the class. Like you aren’t hoping for today’s school classes to end” she eyed him from head to toe.
“Well yeah, help me hurry so the classes would end then” he replied.
She returned to the table and still stood there doing nothing.
Jasper walked away from the line. Reuben looked back to ask him where he was heading to but Jasper zoomed out of the gym hall.
There was no gym teacher to control us so Cara just stood there, unmoving.
When Reuben saw Sheena, Chloe and I behind him, he dragged Jacob by the hand and came behind us.
“Ladies first” he pushed Chloe, Sheena and I ahead. Chloe looked confused but Sheena just thanked him. I said nothing. To avoid sparking another Reuben talk.
“Cara, I haven’t said anything you know” Jennifer sighed. She was directly behind Cara.
Cara faced her with a smug grin. It was obvious to me that Cara had been waiting for Jennifer's reaction.
“What does our Class rep. have to say? Cara teased.
Cara must have been feeling sore about her rival being the class rep. Like she could have done a good job if she was given the position?
“Hurry up. We have other classes” Jennifer said calmly.
Cara shook her head and kept on resting at the desk.
My phone beeped. I carefully took it from my pocket and saw a message from Charles:
“Come out of the school now. I brought lunch for you”. I reread the message to be sure I wasn’t dreaming.
“Boyfriend?” Sheena asked from behind Chloe. I looked up to her.
Reuben was behind her and had heard her, he was looking at me suspiciously. I’d use suspiciously not jealously.
“Um… no. My friend. He’s outside the gate. I have to hurry” I said to her.
Reuben looked back. He turned back and avoided my steady gaze at him. Okay, that was weird.
Jasper came back with two snack pack and handed them to his brother and Reuben, “Since we won’t be leaving anytime soon and I’ve sworn not to interfere with Cara’s madness” he scoffed as he gave them.
Jacob smiled and tore the pack open. Reuben still avoided my gaze so I turned before Jasper caught me staring and assumed things.
“So Cara can I hurriedly sign? I have to leave now?” I spoke up to Cara.
She acted like she didn’t hear me. Chloe gave me an unsure look but I didn’t plan of standing for twenty minutes just bearing with her personality disorders.
“Hurry and sign. You don’t have a signature or you enjoy attention?” I folded my hands as I broke off my the line.
Jacob’s snack fell from his hands. He staring at me surprised.
Yeah, I was very sure no one spoke to Cara like that but if Charles was with a delicious meal outside for me then I gotta go.
Cara stormed to me and stopped in front of me, “You want a piece of me?”.
“No. Full body out of that desk? Yes” I replied without hesitation.
She pulled my shirt and looked into my eyes, “I don’t care who your mom is…”.
I swung her hand away and pushed her into the desk, her back hitting against the desk's edge.
“What are you doing?” Sheena whispered to me but Chloe clapped in tiny.
“Don’t involve my mom in this. She’s too busy to be dragged into your personality issues. You can stand in front of the desk when everyone else is done signing. Stop being a pest” I yelled at her.
I signaled for Jennifer to sign but she didn’t move. Fine, I signed and walked off.
Really hoping that the meal Charles brought was worth my drama. One thing I won’t be regretting is warning Cara to let my mom be.
Mom is really too tired to be dragged in all her stupid talks.
The gateman gave me a suspicious look before letting me go outside the gate. He followed me and saw the car outside.
He then raised four fingers meaning four minutes. I nodded and dashed towards the car.
I flexed my fingers for the attack I was about making on Charles.
“Heyyy” he waved.
I slammed the car behind me and went straight for his neck, attempting to choke him.
“This caller cannot be reached. This caller cannot be reached. How dare you put me on voice note” I gagged at his neck.
He tore my hands off his neck and gasped for breath.
“Don’t tell me you’ve been hanging out with Cara the tigress from your school. How has your grip become stronger?!” he frowned.
I stopped my hands from reaching his neck, “You know the jerk Cara?”.
He frowned deeper, “Don’t tell me you guys had a bad start now”.
What? He really knew her. And bad start? Who wouldn’t have a bad start with someone like her!
