EPISODE 6
School that day was finally over after drama class and I waved goodbye to Tracey as I got into the limo, and Evans drove me home.
I got home and after taking a bath, I ate dinner and went back to my room to continue reading âman and spaceâ but surprisingly Naomi Showed up and I had to leave the book and tell her about today and how everything went with me and James and she told I was really making progress.
She left later that night and I had to continue with my book and I read another nine chapters making me complete eighteen chapters with just twelve chapters remaining.
The next morning my alarm didnât need to wake me up cause I couldnât wait to go to school so I woke up before my alarm, I already wore my joggers before Beatrice walked into my room and saw I was already dressed for my morning exercise.
I had started this exercise since I was ten years old and Iâve gotten used to it, my mom always tells me exercises makes the body fit and healthy and I do have a fit body, even though I really want to have an hour glass figure like my mom so badly, but she said Iâm still growing up.
I took my morning shower and got ready for school after my exercise, I ate breakfast and then Evans drove me to school.
I got to school and met with Esther by the gate who greeted me and complimented me of how pretty I looked. I thanked her and walked to class, getting to class I met the person I least expected to meet molly, her class is close to ours so I guess running into her was still expected.
I ignored her and continued walking but she called me which made me stopped on my tracks, ugh my name with her voice sounds weird.
âwhat is it?â I asked moving my fabulous hair back. She gazed at me before saying,
âwhy do you hate me?â she asked. Oh so she noticed it.
âwhy do you ask? Do you want me to?â I asked and folded my arms.
âI..i d-donât w-want y..you toâ she stutter and I sighed, sheâs wasting my time.
âhonestly Samantha, I really admire you, no I envy you, weâre both from the high classes of family but youâre pretty smart, bold and you have beautiful body and hair, and seeing you with my friends just makes it so hĂŚrd for me to meet with them, I donât know if you hate me because Iâm not pretty like Victoria or Tracey but If thatâs the case, Iâll change, Iâll change my looks just for you to like meâ she said looking down at her feet.
âwell if you do that you know where to find meâ I smiled and walked to class.
I saw Kaden and James talking to Victoria and Tracey and I wanted to be a part of that conversation like so bad. James noticed me and glance at me, I waved at him and he smiled a little and looked away.
I dropped my backpack on my seat and was about to go join the foursome conversation when our English teacher walked in, I was a bit disappointed but it doesnât really matter anyway. Iâm not always disappointed to learn, I love learning.. We had three more subjects before surprisingly our drama teacher Mr Yung walked in.
âgood day guys, I came here in a bit of a hurryâ he said and the school bell was rung for lunch break.
âno oneâs going out until Iâm done talking, but if youâre not in drama class, you can leaveâ Mr Yung said and five or six student left the class.
âokay, you know how I said the drama student are going to put on a play at the end of the semester based on this book âtimeâ- weâre not going to put on a play by the book âtimeâ again cause it consumes a lot of time and it also has a lot of scene which canât be acted and I donât know what weâre going to act now cause drama class is forced to put on a show every term, Esther suggested we just act a short familiar play, âthe frog princeâ but weâre going to change the story line a bit, and rehearsal starts next week, thank you all for your timeâ he said before walking out.
Everyone start to leave the class and Victoria was the first to meet me. âletâs go without Tracey, sheâs busy drooling over Kadenâ she laughed and I glance at Tracey which was true she was admiring Kaden who was laughing with Jerold, I looked around to see if I could see James but he was nowhere to be found. âTracey your saliva are all over the classâ Victoria yelled at her and Tracey shyly looked away before running up to us.
âwhat the hell Tori you totally embarrassed meâ she said and Victoria laughed ..âI couldnât help it you were killing Kaden with your gazeâ.
Someone tapped me from behind and I turned to see my James.
âJames!â I called happily.
âcan we talk, like privatelyâ he asked and I nod âsureâ
He glance at victoria and Tracey and they both glance at me before walking away..
âso..? what do you want to talk about?â I smiled and he stood still and glance at Kaden and the rest of his friends who walked out of the class, each and everyoneâs of them glancing at us.
James didnât say anything until the class was empty leaving only the two of us and I sighed and sat down on my desk.
âwhat is it you want to talk about James, Iâm starvingâ I said, Iâm not really starving I actually feel happy heâs here with me.
âW..well s..see I donât really have anything to talk about but..but seriously I have to ask you again, why do you like me?, how much do you like me?â he asked.
âi donât know how much I like you but I know if youâd walk with your legs from here to the sky, then thatâs how much I like you, and I like you because.. I donât really know what made me like you aside from your pretty face, I still donât know but Iâll tell you when I doâ I said and he chuckled. âyouâre funnyâ. âso you donât know?â he asked.
âknow what?â I tilt my head.
âyou donât see it?â he asked
âsee what?â
ânever mindâ he smiled, this time he smiled a warm smile that melted my heart.
âtruthfully James, you standing in front of me is making me so happy, you donât even know how your presence is making me feel, I didnât know liking someone would made you feel so alive, Iâve always doubted feelings or liking someone, but now Iâve seen what it does to someone, trust me Iâve never liked anyone before, youâre my first and I donât want this feeling to end and now I can see how Tracey feels whenever Kadenâs beside herâ I smiled looking at my feet.
âreally you feel all that about meâ he asked and I slowly nod.
âhold on, and Tracey likes Kaden?â he asked. âyeahâ I murmured and he smiled. We both stood still and silent not saying anything and he occasionally glance at me but my eyes never left his face.
âwe better go grab something to eat before lunch breakâs overâ he said and I nod happily.
He start to walk to the door while I quickly followed him and grabbed his hand, he looked down at me and I smiled at him.
âyouâre indeed strangeâ he wÂĄdened his eyes as we both exit the class.
We walked in the cafeteria still holding hands, actually with me still holding his hand and after ordering our food he walked to his table while I followed him. He sat down opposite Kaden while I sat down beside him. Kaden glared at me, âwhat are you doing here?â
âeatingâ I rolled my eyes.
âI thought you said you wanted to make things clear to herâ Kaden said to James.
âwell it doesnât really matterâ James shrugged. And for the first time in history Kaden glared at James, James noticed it and sighed. âI donât know why the h*ell you looking at me like that but please stop itâ James arched his breed and Kaden angrily looked away.
âwhatâs his problem?â I asked James and he shrugged, Kaden heard me and scoffed.
My eyes suddenly averted to Tracey and Tori, but this time molly was with them laughing her ass out with them, seeing that made me angry, I warned her to say away from them. I wanted to stand up, walk up to her and pull her out that place but that would ruin my vibe with James.
Jerold, James and Lucas talked about some pretty boy stuffs that wasnât my business while Kaden remained quiet. And after finishing his food, he grabbed his tray and walked away, James turned to look at him go but quickly turn to Lucas and Jerold who wanted his attention.. They talked about a lot of things which made me more interested in their conversation, but then my ears became bigger when they started to talk about Tracey.
âyeah the way you broke up with her wasnât nice at allâ Lucas said and James nodded, maybe agreeing to Lucas.
âI had no choice, she was being clingy and it was annoying as fckâ Jerold said squeezing his juice box.
âshe wasnât really being clingy, she was just fineâ James said.
âIâm sorry but youâre not the guy she datedâ Jerold snapped.
âdonât lie to yourself, she wasnât being clingy you were suddenly interested in that girl.. Uhm.. Linda or what was her name?â James asked Lucas who was cracking his name trying to remember the girlâs name too.
âLana!â Lucas snapped his finger and James nodded, âyeah, you were in love with Lana while you were with Tracey, but man, seriously thatâs messed upâ James said earning a glare from Jerold.
âactually Traceyâs a nice girl, sheâs not clingy or annoying, sheâs the type you call girlfriends not Lana who behaves like a possessed doll.â James laughed and so did Lucas.
âokay you guys are just jealous and stupid cause you both havenât dated anyone, and you James try dating Tracey and see if sheâs what you call a girlfriendâ Jerold snarled and James smiled âI willâ.
âwhat?!!â I turned to him, heâs going to date Tracey while Iâm still alive.
âwhat?â he turned to me.
âyouâre gonna date Tracey?â I asked plainly looking at him.
âwell I mean is there a reason not to, sheâs the girlfriend type,.. James said and glance at Jerold.. And then continued âsheâs pretty, but beauty doesnât matter, sheâs nice, has a sense of humour, giving, loving and caring I mean who would choose an ill-mannered possessed bitch over thatâ James explained and I raised my eye brows at him.
âand by ill-mannered possessed bitch, you mean?â I asked. And James face moved closer to mine.
âLana, the girl Jeroldâs in love withâ James whispered in my ear and I shivered of how cold his breath was. Oh heâs been drinking cold milk. He surely loves milk.
âlet me make this clear to you James, and you Lucas, including you Samantha since youâre on your boyfriendâs sideâ Jerold said angrily placing his hands on the table.
did he just call James my âboyfriendâ??.. I like this guy already.
âI date whoever I want okay? And itâs none of yâall businesses tell kaden when you see himâ Jerold warned.
âsorry Mr Jerold, weâll totally mind our businessesâ Lucas laughed and James joined him to. Jerold didnât know what to do so he just sighed and got up. âIâm going to classâ he announced and walked away. âtell Lana I said hiâ Lucas yelled and Jerold turned back to glare at him and after that Lucas and James shared a heart warming laugh.
Lunch break was finally over and everyone went back to their classes. I got to class with James and seriously I didnât want to let him go as he told me he has to go to his seat, Kaden was staring at us, and I rolled my eyes at him when we made eye contact. James went back to his seat and I went back to mine.
We had three more classes before school was over and we went to drama class
Instead of having rehearsal as promised today Mr Valentine just talked more on the story of the play.
I got home that day and after eating, I continued my âman and spaceâ, Naomi didnât show up so it gave me a lot time to read cause I would have been saying if hundred of things to her by now.
I couldnât believe I finished the story that night, cause the last part seemed interesting and I just had to finish it that night which made me slept late.
.
The next morning, I woke up, did my morning routine and went to school, walking through the hallway, I heard a somehow familiar voice called me and I huffed cause I suddenly realised it was Mollyâs, what does she want. Sheâs lucky I didnât scold her yesterday.
âwhat?â I said and turned to swiftly, only to find my jaw dropped.
Iâm not sure if it was molly in front of me cause the girl in front of me looked different, her red tangled hair has been straightened making it fall on her shoulders and instead of red hair, she had brown dark hair, her small eyes was big and round and I assumed she was wearing âdouble eye lidâ glue, the freckles on her cheeks and on her nose were gone. Not fully gone, actually theyâre still there but theyâre not easily seen, and her l-ips were red and full. And believe me Iâm in short of words.
âhow do I look? Do I look okay now?â she asked.. But I gave no reply.
âI changed my looks because of you sam..Samantha, I want to hang out with you and you said changing my looks would make you talk to me so I did my bestâ she said and I smiled.
I am such a good influence.
I moved closer to her and grabbed her hanky from her br-ast pocket and start to clean the lÂĄpstick on her l-ips.
âyour lÂĄpstick doesnât go with your lookâ I said as I gave her back the hanky.
âthank youâ she said shyly looking down âno problemâ I smiled.
âthen I join you during lunch todayâ she asked squeezing her handkerchief in her hand.
âsureâ I smiled before walking away.
