Simon's POV

"Darn it! " I kicked the door as I entered with so much aggression.

"Dad your meal is on the dining table" I said without going to his room to meet him.



Audrey later got me my orders after lambasting me with hard words.



Is she for real?

How would a girl be so bold to talk to me that way? Even guys cannot.



I just wanted to be at least friends with her but she threw harsh words at me? Me?

I saved her crazy ass yesterday, she seems to be forgetting about that.



"Arrrrrrrrgh"

I kicked my wardrobe and groaned as a result of the pain that bounced back on me.



But there's something unusual about her...

I mean, she is making me go crazy now.. How?



My phone rang, I picked it up angrily but when I found out that it was Jessica that was calling me, I threw the phone on the floor and it broke and pieces.



Whatever, I have another one and I can always get another.

I ran my fingers into my hair - backward.

Calm down Simon, what's wrong with you?

Audrey's POV

He intentionally put his necklace into my bag so that I can get into troubles.

..I've been calm throughout but today I just can't. He really need to be taught some lesson.

And I need to stay away from him just like Kyle had said.

Why do everyone think Money is everything?

Yeah, it's everything but not for some kind of people.

Why are wealthy people mannerless? Full of themselves and very arrogant?

Does he really think that a gold necklace would freak me?



It's time to for me to crawl outta my shell and stop allowing some people like him make me feel intimidated.

Oh Good, the funny crush i was having on him is dead already.

I no longer see him as Handsome but a useless being.



I checked around for who to attend to but there was none, every one had a meal in front of them, Felix served most of them.

Oh Felix..



Mr Gary, The pervert didn't later show up, what a relief. He would never show up!



And Vivian, she is one of the best people I've met when I came to Wearous. I've never thought that she would be into something so unheard of.

Since she won't listen to me and I won't want to start a fight with her over little thing.. Little thing?



"Audrey" The feminine voice was very solemn.

She was behind me, with red and almost teary eyes.



"Let's talk again" She said and I followed her.

"Audrey, I'm sorry" She resumed.



"You already explained it to me. So I know it's not your fault" I just said.



"I wish I wasn't born into a poor family. My Dad died two years ago at the hospital, he had heart disease and we were unable to pay the hospital bills" She said and tears began to flow down her cheeks.



I sat next to her and wiped her face with my fingers.

The life is somehow with people with unequal lives.

One who doesn't even know her father and another whose father is dead.

Sad.



"I'm sorry" I muttered patting her on her back.



"My mom do not even care about our welfare. My sister and I are struggling to live. The only thing my mom does is to sit at home an watch me put food on the table. She isn't even concerned about how and where I got the money. Audrey, I know what I'm doing is wrong but it's the only thing that can help.. " She said and paused..,took a deep sigh and wiped her tears herself this time.



"My little sister is still in elementary school. I'm also doing it to pay her fees too" She said.

I was dumbfounded.

Will I tell her to continue doing it Since it matters alot to her?

I would rather stay dumbfounded.



"You see.. " She concluded and stood up.



"Vi... Vivian"



"Audrey, I'm not planning to change anything now or soon and I also don't want this issue to affect our friendship" She said and it made me swallow my saliva.



-_-

More customers came, we attended to them silently.

Today we received a good pay.

Kyle's POV

Ok, it's too early to tell her that I like her.

I smiled.

I hope she will read my heart one day herself.



In my whole life, Throughout the years I've spent at WearousHS, I have never felt this way for a girl.

Audrey is different from all girls I've met, apart from her background but she's beautiful to sum it up.

I actually liked her right from the first day I saw her.



I just hope she'll feel the same way I do and Of course, she should..I'm the only guy she talks to and move with in school, so why not?

Hmm, but what if she already has a boyfriend?

Oh no never.



I smiled again, my first time in 18years - I'm in love. Whoa!



I brought out my cell phone, clicked on the music app.

Well, that's what I do mostly with my phone - Play music and listen to it.

I scroll through my five hundredth music list and before scrolling further. I found one titled: INTO YOU by ARIANA GRANDE.

And wonderful, it's the perfect song that suits how I feel now.

I clicked on it and began to sing it even before it plays..



🎶 I'm so into you, I can barely breathe

🎵 And all I wanna do is to fall in deep..

🎶 But close, we ain't close enough 'till we cross the line..

🎵So name a game to play, and I'll roll the dice..

🎶 Look what you started - Audrey

🎵 My temperature's rising in here

🎶 Is this gonna happen?

🎵I'm waiting and waiting for you to.......



"You stupid! " Mom's voice interrupted me.



"Dumb! Shameless! " Dad's fired at her.



They destroyed my music... Again! Not again!



I paused the music and sadly pulled off the headset.

I laid on my bed, lost in thought.. Thinking about Mom and Dad, I'm not just happy with them.



I turned sideways, only to see Audrey's lying beside me, smiling. That beautiful smile and eyes and Oh, the dimple.

I smiled back at her.

We kept smiling at eachother and I didn't know when I slept off.
