Chapter 26

"Would you mind talking about it now?" Emma asked Jeffrey.
They were both walking down the street and Jeffrey sighed.
The people walking around weren't that much.
"You'll hate me once I do" He muttered and she looked at him.
"You can't just assume something when you don't know what I will say or do. Just trust me and tell me. Please" she muttered and he groaned.
"You're so persistent" He said and she chuckled.
"That's how I am, now talk" She said and he stopped and faced her. She did the same.
"I killed my parents" He dropped the bomb and her eyes widened but it returned back to normal.
"How and why?" She asked.
"Cos they killed my sister" He said and her eyes widened again.
"Mind explaining?" She asked as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"I was 9 years back then and my sister was 6. We were very close to each other. She tells me every single thing that happens in her life, whether good or bad. Our family was a happy one. Not until my parents decided to do something stupid. Azure, my sister and I were coming back from school when a black van stopped beside us and took us away. I watched how they raped my sister and also killed her and I couldn't do anything about it. They were about killing me but I managed to escape. After 2 years, I found out that my parents were behind the kidnapping of I and my sister so they could earn more wealth. I was very furious that day and I decided to hunt them down and when I found them, I killed them brutally. I made sure their death was slow and painful. I took all my parents money and gave it all to the orphanage. The children were so happy even the godmother there was happy cos the money was able to feed the children for years. I did some shitty things and I got money doing so. Now I have enough money to fend for myself. I didn't bother going to school cos I did a lot of research at home. Let's say I did home school but I was the one teaching myself. I was researching new things and broadening my knowledge" He said letting out a small smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Everyone I loved, left me and I kept blaming myself for the death of my sister cos I couldn't do anything. I couldn't do anything when she was being taken advantage of" He muttered and blinked back the tears that threatened to fall from his eye lids.
Emma was crying already and he chuckled.
"You're crying? Why?" He asked and she sniffed wiping her tears.
"Cos it hurts. I thought I was the one suffering when my step mom usually maltreat me but I didn't know you suffered worse. You had parents that didn't even think twice before selling you and your sister off to get killed. I didn't know you went through all this" She said still wiping her tears.
"There's no way you would have known" He muttered and she sniffed.
"It's okay. Don't cry for me please" He muttered and she nodded.
He sighed and pulled her into a comforting hug and she wasted no time in hugging him back.
"Thank you for listening to me. Thanks for not judging me. Thanks for being my shoulder to cry on. Thanks a lot Emma. It really means a lot to me!" He said and she smiled widely.
"It was my pleasure" She said and he pulled out of the hug.
"I told you a problem shared is a problem half solved" She said with a smile.
"But I guess in my case, it's completely solved all thanks to you" He said poking her nose and shs blushed cutely.
"Let's get ice cream" He suggested with a small smile.
"Yes but it's on you" She said and he chuckled.
"Deal" He said and they both walked to the ice cream vendor.
They got a cup of different flavors of ice cream and sat on a bench there.
"Hmm...Delicious" She moaned licking the ice cream.
It stained her nose in the process.
"Stay still" He said and she did so.
He began leaning in and she thought he would kiss her so she closed her eyes.
He smirked before using his thumb to wipe her nose. She opened her eyes and he smiled.
"There was a little stain of ice cream there" He said and she blinked before facing front biting her lips feeling embarrassed.
★★★★
Linda and Naomi were at a corner in the school hall scheming.
"We now have two people to destroy" Linda said.
"But how will we do that when they have two of the 3A's by their side?" Naomi asked and Linda punched the wall.
"I don't care if they have those guys on their side. They can even have the president as an ally but that won't stop the fact that I'll get rid of them starting with Chelsea" Linda said with gritted teeth.
"I think I have a plan" Naomi said with a small smirk and Linda smiled.
"Let me hear it" She said and Naomi leaned into her ear and explained the plan to her.
They bursted into a huge laughter after planning it out.
"You're quite smart. Good job gurl" She said and they did a high five.
They smiled as they both walked out of the corner.
Someone who heard this chuckled before going his or her way.
★★★★
Doris was heading to the 3A's suite and was about knocking when she overheard Alexis and Adrian talking.
"Do you like her?" Adrian asked.
"I dunno" Alexis replied.
"That's not an answer"
"I don't."
"So why are you following her around when you don't like her?"
"I only want what's under her skirt nothing more, nothing less" He said and Doris gasped.
Her eyes became teary as she walked slowly out of the place.
She felt a sting in her heart and she squatted at one corner crying silently.
"How could he say that?" She asked herself crying more.
★★ 1 HOUR LATER ★★
Everyone were seated on their chairs including Emma as they prepared for a test.
The teacher banged her hands on the table and they looked at her.
"I'm looking for the paper where I wrote all the damn answers of the test. Where is it?!!" She yelled and Naomi smirked.
"Chelsea took it" Linda suddenly said and Chelsea gasped.
"What? I didn't do it" She said looking at Linda.
"Liar. I saw you clearly. You put it in your bag and asked me not to tell her and that you'll help me when I need it but I disagreed" Linda said and Chelsea's eyes went wide.
"You're the liar. I didn't do it!!" Chelsea yelled hitting her palms on the table.
"I'll be the judge of that" The teacher said and walked to her.
She asked for the bag and Chelsea gave it to her.
She sent a glare Linda's way and Linda chuckled in reply.
The teacher opened the back and searched inside.
She took in a deep breath before looked up from the back. She looked back at Chelsea with a look.
