âHey, you dropped-
Jeremy tried to call her back but Alicia stopped him.
âYou know her?â She asked, giving him a blank look.
âYeahâ Jeremy nodded.
He glanced at the door and Rebecca was already out of the room.
Aliciaâs face stiffened at his response but Jeremy barely noticed as he walked to the piece of paper and picked it up.
âYou both sounded kind of close, are you?â She asked.
âNot at all. We just had few conversations In the pastâ he said.
âConversations? With McCoy?â Alicia asked, her face twitching in disgust. âYou might not know but she-
âI know. I was told but I canât stay enemies with her cos of that. If she has a problem with me then thatâs her business not mineâ Jeremy replied.
âSeriously? You donât know what Rebecca can do!â Alicia interjected. âSheâs a fvcking psychopath. You canât have conversations with her! Sheâs a loner and a freak!â she added breathlessly.
âYeah.. youâre probably right but for real, Iâve got nothing with her. Weâve only had simple conversationsâ
âJeremy-
Alicia drawled, concern etching her face.
âIâll be fine, Alicia. You, donât worryâ Jeremy said to her. âRebecca wonât harm meâ he said, recollecting her debt to him.
âYou have to stop talking to her. I donât want you to have anything to do with her at all.. you just canât!â she said.
âI donât have a problem with her and you have to stop worrying, okay?â Jeremy patted her shoulders with a smile and turned to walk out..
âWhere are you going?â Alicia asked.
âTo give this back to herâ
âJeremyâ Alicia said with a frown.
âWhat? Iâm only going to give this backâ He asked calmly.
âOkay. Youâll be quick, promise me, youâll just give it back to her and meet me at the cafeteria right away. Promise meâ she said.
Her face held so much concern and Jeremy couldnât help but wonder, just how bad Rebecca could be. Still, he felt appreciative for the concern.
âIf you donât then Iâll be mad at you all over againâ she added pouting.
âOkay. Iâll see you at the cafeteriaâ Jeremy said. âThanks a lot for thisâ he lifted the gift bag and head out of the room.
Alicia shut her eyes tightly as she released the long breath she had held in.
She hoped Jeremy would just listen to her, heâs too sweet to see who Rebecca truly is and sheâs very worried that he has to be close to her amongst others.
Jeremy made his way out of the janitor room and almost immediately found Rebecca making her way, slightly hurriedly to where the staircase was located.
âRebecca,â he called as he hurried up to meet her. âWait up!â He added when she made no move to answer him.
âWhat!â She suddenly turned cohesively, causing him to almost bump into her.
âTch..it was you who dropped your stuff and me who picked it up and ran all the way here to come give it to you and youâre the one getting aggressiveâ Jeremy scoffed. âAnd you really have a habit of dropping things when Iâm around, donât you?â he added, stretching the paper to her.
Her eyes lowered to it and a frown displayed on her face. She collected the paper from him and without glancing at the content, tore it into shreds and threw it into a wastebasket close by.
âThatâs because itâs trash, dummy!â she sneered at him.
âTrash? Thatâs your assignment scriptâ Jeremy said, pointing to the waste basket that had the torn script.
âSee? I knew youâd have gone through it. Itâs your habit after allâ she said.
âIt was unintentionalâ he defended.
âWell itâs still trash!â She deadpanned, turned and began walking away.
âWhy?â Jeremy asked, following her.
âNot your businessâ she replied plainly.
âYour score was a âBâ, thatâs a good grade to call trashâ Jeremy said.
âWell, I signed up for an A , not a Bâ she said.
âWhatâs wrong with a B?â Jeremy countered.
âIf you see nothing wrong with it, then you shouldâve just gotten it while I get an Aâ she said.
âWait.. howâd you know I-
âNo one is smart enough in our class to score that high except me but you came and broke that jinxâ she said, crossing her palm.
âSo you donât like competitions?â
âCompetition? With you? Oh please!â she gave a weird laughter.
âWhy did you say âwith youâ like Iâm a loser?â Jeremy asked.
âIâve been to a lot of competitions, both internationally and Nationwide and Iâve done well. So I wonât settle to have one with you!â She said.
âSo does that mean youâre gonna be nicer to me?â
âWas I ever nice to you? Ah, is it the music box I gave you? You think Iâm nice cos of that? Tchâ she said, scoffing and referring to the earphones around his neck.
âDo you know what I wish for most right now?â She asked.
âNo. What?â Jeremy asked.
âThat youâll stop coming to this school and Iâll go back to my usual life and positionâ she said.
âYou mean friendless, boring and lonely?â Jeremy asked with emphasis.
âMy life isnât any of that and friends? Do you really think weâre friends?â She asked.
âArenât we? Cos last time I checked, friends talk and walk together and have certain things in common; We both like a particular musicianâ
âSo? That doesnât make us friends. I donât make friends and around here, you definitely wouldnât want to found walking with meâ Rebecca said with a smile that didnât particularly come from her mind.
âWhy? Doesnât that give you a bad feeling?â
âYou can ask anyone around here and Bad feeling?â Rebecca scoffed. âNo. Iâve lived with it for years and Iâm perfectly fine. Itâs what I designed for myself and Iâm comfortable with itâ she said, dishonestly.
âI donât believe thatâ Jeremy said.
âAnd I donât care what you believeâ she said ânow, you had better stop walking or talking to me if you still wanna keep your fame and friends around here. Plus, weâre enemies. Donât forget thatâ Rebecca said, giving him a quick glance she walked away quickly, averting to the other stairs.
