Chapter 13

Sometimes miracles do happen.

----------------------------------------------------------

Its Monday morning, I'm my way to school on a bus and I don't want to go but I don't have any choice because my dear mother came early this morning, she lectured me about rules and regulations and threatened me that if I"ll did something beyond her expectations then. I"ll be grounded for the rest of my life before I can protest and talk to her she kicked me out .so, that I can go to school.

You can pity me because I'm doing the same thing from previous hours and one thing I understand about my mother is that she is a dangerous woman very dangerous woman when it comes to rules and regulations.

I arrived at school the journey from home to school is not that much affected me, coz I was lost in my thoughts as always. I entered the school building with my bag hoisted on my shoulder without thinking anything, I headed straight to my English Literature Class.

As I entered Class my first reaction is horrible completely horrible, why?  Because everything is a mess in here students were Shouting and chattering their voices echoed the whole room and some of them were playing with paper balls and flying aeroplanes, made with paper like they don't have any tension they just enjoying the moment in their life, I wish if I can do things like this without any care but I know that is next to possible so, I ceased that stupid thought of mine immediately and then my eyes landed on that boy who is flirting with other girls and when I said girls it doesn't mean that they are like me, no. not at all these girls are those which show their assets in a very inappropriate way and most of all, their lack of clothing which they think that this will make them more stylish and popular, it may be correct but for me, they are all fakes who don't care about anybody just want to use them.

So does Cole he also doesn't care about anybody he just wanted to use them well good for him then, they perfectly fit for each other.
Suddenly, as Cole sensed something then his brown orbs meet with my blue ones.  He furrowed his eyebrows as if asking why I'm starting him!  Then his famous smirk appears in his stupid sexy face, mocking me to do something!

HA!  But he doesn't know who he is dealing with so, without showing any emotions I looked away and shrugged my shoulders. I made my way to a seat near the window.
Thank God. Today, I don't have to sit near him.

Completely lost in my mind to do what or not to do? I started flipping pages of my notebook when someone cleared his throat.

"Hey,  can I sit here? " A voice all I heard before I glanced in the direction of that voice.
"What? "
I don't know why I said why maybe because I don't believe that someone will someday really ask me this question with this much sincerity to only sitting beside me, well don't get me wrong if I'm making a big fuss about this but this is like a miracle to me.

"Umm I said can I sit here? " and here ladies and gentlemen stood a very cute boy in front of me he had green eyes and a body like a model.
Enough is enough I can't stare at him for that long.

"Sure, why not! "

"Thanks, by the way, I'm Nathan "  he extends his hand for the shake.

"Amanda," I tell him while shaking his hand.

"Beautiful name just like you," he said with a smirk

"Uh, thanks?  And same to you"  OK I should stop pretending like a wuss and what's the matter with him my name is beautiful and even I am?  Humm yesss maybe I'm. OK, oh who am I kidding?  I very much like it when he said this but I should don't have said to him thankyou, seriously? Now he seriously thinks that I'm an idiot.

"HA! HA! HA!  you're funny, I like that"

And I like you too, OK seriously I need to put a stop to my thinking

"When you blush like that it makes you more beautiful " he whispered playfully.
But hey, what the hell when I'm started blushing?  Suddenly I realised the heat in my cheeks. yeah so,  I'm blushing now! 

"Amanda I think you dropped something! " he said with his curious gaze.
But wait!  What?  Did I drop something?  How complete idiot I'm, I started bending down to find out what I dropped when he cleared his throat.

"I was talking about my jaw, you dropped my jaw"

"Ar!  Thanks? "

Seriously thanks?  Is that all you have to say

"You also dropped something else! " came a voice from behind us and when we both moved our head we found the very favourite person of mine seated behind our seats, hovering our side with his head oh, by the way, can you guess who is the favourite person (Note the sarcasm) I'm talking about?
Yes!

You all guessed right the joker himself Mr Maxwell the heir of Maxwell enterprises, in short, that stupid Cole.

"What is it?  Mr Maxwell! what do you want?" I snapped.

"Do not call me that! " he said in a very irritated voice. 
At least one thing that happened in my favour is that I got to know he doesn't like himself called by Mr Maxwell.

"I"ll call you whatever I want! don't teach me anything "

"Yes. babe,  I know you're dying to call me by the silly name of yours but save it for later, will you? "

Anger boiled in me, how dare he?  He sounds like that does he think I'm one of his girls whom he can flirt with? And what the hell he wants?  Why he came here, I pretty much know myself that He was far away from me when I was seated here, then how the hell did he come here?  And most important why?  When I'm enjoying a friendly conversation with Nathan.
Wait a minute.  Is it not possible?  No no not at all there are no chances of it but somehow is he?  Jealous?

"Are you jealous?"  Words come out from my mouth

"Yes, Miss universe. I'm jealous of your beauty. " he mimicked me.

"You know what?  Forget it! " this guy is seriously getting on my nerves it's better to back on from this conversation and start reading a book.

"You also dropped something else! " again his voice, this time more demanding. Poor Nathan he's just staring between me and Cole with confusion all over plastered in his face.

"What it is?  Come on tell me .so,  we can get over with this! " I snapped.

"Your sense of dressing!  Geez, You're such a boy, " he said with a disgusting face.
What the hell?  What is wrong with my dressing .baggy pants and a shirt, nothing is bad in it. Umm, my hairs were also tied in a pony and not to forget I have got that kind of figure which makes other girls jealous well not that much .ok!  I accepted it but it's not that bad. Then why the hell he makes commenting on it and embarrassing me in front of Nathan.
My ears were burning from heat due to sudden embarrassment.

"Get lost shit head. " I muttered.
Then he walked away glaring at Nathan in a threatening way.

***

"Is he looking on our table? "

"Yes, he's looking at our side since he came here. " I told Vess almost the tenth time about Daylan and let me tell you one thing it is getting on my nerves he's glaring in our sides with the facial expression like he's been tortured for his life and the girl who's sitting in front of me just kept asking about questions that if he's going to talk to her then she'll ignore her. She couldn't even see his facial expressions coz she has her back on his side and I'm enjoying the whole scene with my own eyes, I'm looking at Dylan every ten minutes just to check his expression while Dylan is burying his gaze at Vess, and Vess?  she kept asking questions.

"He got up!  And and and finally, He's coming here. " Ok!  I said with a little bit of excitement

Why?

"Shhh.  Keep your voice down!  We don't want to create any soap opera scene here!  Now would we? "

A voice came from a throat .first we ignored then again it came. Again again!

"Amanda if you have a problem with your throat then tell me what it is? " Vess asked with determination.

"Ah, it wasn't me! " I clarified.

"Vanessa, why are you not picking up my phone? " Dylan asked with a serious tone.

"Amanda where are these voices coming from? "

"Vanessa I'm talking to you, I asked you a question. "

"Amanda is there any problem with today's atmosphere or my ears is not working properly. "

"I guess your ears are not working properly. " I pointed.
Oops!  I need to keep my mouth shut coz she's glaring at me at my little remark.

"Then, I must leave. I'm not feeling good today, " she said and walked away.

My phone beeped and the good news has I received a message.

''Time starts, you've to find out in the cafeteria now. I'm heading to the girl's room. "
Come on let's start then, I thought to myself.

"Ah!  Isn't it nice weather today? "
What?  Where the hell does this question come from my mouth. Seriously, I need to do something to enhance my skills and if you're wondering what was his reply then he glared at me with his deadly eyes.
For one moment I thought to go back to my class but when I see in his eyes his eyes were calculating as thinking something. Still, he's not moved an inch from his place still standing glaring at me.
As thinking or fighting with himself to do something?  But the thing is what?  What does he wants to do and why the hell he's thinking too much about that thing which he's going to do? Well, I think maybe I know what he's thinking.

"Amanda? "

His voice zoomed me out from my thinking.

"Dylan," I said his name most politely or sweetly while blinking my eyes.
I thought that I have overdone it.  He just glared at me for it.

"I was thinking that, yes"

"Yes? "  I asked dumbfounded.

"The weather is nice. "

Oh, my miracles do happen, I just noticed it in front of my eyes.

"So? "

"So, I think you are Vanessa's friend. "

"Best friend .since, long time ago. which I can't remember," I said proudly.

"Yeah. Yeah,  so you must know what is wrong with her. Is she ok? " he asked with concern.
Yeah, Finally he asked. what if?  He's slow at least he asked suddenly Dylan seems a nice guy to me although he's not that much nice to me but who cares.!

"Yes, I know "

"Arrr then help me, will you?  She's driving me crazy and if you didn't help me I"ll became mad. Help me, it's the favour which I want from you and in return, I can do anything you want. " he said in his serious tone.

What?  Did I hear right? Did he just say that he"ll do anything in return that I want?

Yes!  Yes!  He said that

Then why not in favour I ask him that question which I'm dying to know?  Yes, I'm going for it.

"Fine I"ll help you but you've to tell me an answer to a particular question which I've in my mind. Since last week. "

He narrowed his eyes and open his mouth to say something but I cut him off.

"You. yourself said that I'll do anything for you if I"ll help you and don't worry I'm not going to ask your age when you loosed your virginity. So, just relax. " A smirk appeared across my face.

"Fine. then" he muttered some unusual word.

****

After one hour of talking with Dylan. I'm on my way to go home, I'm leaving early today and the reason is my head is somehow started beating drums. I mean that I have got a major headache and it is painful  I can't take it anymore. So, I decided to leave early otherwise I"ll make fun of myself by fainting in front of all people.
And If you're wondering about me and Dylan not in that way of course not, I mean what we talked about.

I told him everything that how Vess finds herself in bed in his clothes while he was in the shower and also that she thinks that she's not a virgin anymore. when I was finished telling him all this. His face was horrified like he didn't believe what he just listened to.

"I"ll never take advantage of her or any girl which is not in his consciousness, and if you're wondering about clothes, then I swear I didn't it for fun. She puked all over her dress. That's why I changed her clothes and believe me only I know how I restrained myself. I"ll never do anything to her without her consciousness. "

"Do you like her?" Words slipped out of my mouth before even considering.

"Yes.  I do.  I like Vanessa "  he said with the most sincerity.
When I think about him. Well,  He's not that bad. Under his stone face masked there is a genuine and sincere man.
"Then I"ll help you. " why not?  I'll help them they both like each other. Soon they will become a couple.

"Thank you. You're not that bad and ask me whatever you want to ask. "

"No. Forget it"

I don't want to ask how he's a genuine guy.

"Amanda ask" he commanded.
Or anyway I want to ask.

"Why the hell that gala transpired?  And why did you throw It? what use of it. if you work constantly in your time to deliver pizzas just to give a party? "
Ok!  Stupid question I know that.
He hesitated for a moment. Then open his mouth to tell

"I don't throw parties. " In only one sentence he closed his mouth.

"What? " what is he saying everyone knew that he was the one who throws a party.

"I mean I didn't throw that party. I don't throw a party at all. The party which were held Friday was Cole's but the name was mine for it. "

"Why? " I asked

"Oh can't tell you that. it is not my place to tell you. I already told you what was in my hand to tell. Now if you excuse me. I have a class to attend. " then he walked away leaving me in all confusion.

That's all talking happened between us.  Before my head starts burning I need to get out of the hallway.
A sound was made all over in the school. I stopped in my tracks and an announcement was made.

"Students of CrossRiver School we are happy to announce that the competition for Student of the year is going to happen this month. You've one week to give your names. Who is interested in it. And one more thing only senior year students are allowed to give their name. We will give all the information about this competition when we receive our students' names. Thank you. Have a good day. "

Good day!  My foot .so,  this all drama is going to happen this week I muttered some curses then I exited from school.
