Chapter 28Charity POV"What happened back there, Cha Cha? Are you not going to tell me?" Enny asked me during lunch break, but I just smiled at her."Nothing happened. The principal just scolded me for something, and nothing serious. We are cool," I wrapped my arm around her neck."Why don't we go eat at the canteen?" I asked her."I told you that I brought food in the morning. Are you going to let it waste?" She pouted her lips, and I sighed."I'm sorry, I forgot. Should we go to the rooftop to eat?" I asked her, and her face beamed excitedly."Yes. Let's go there. Hold on let me pack it up," She said to me then went ahead to get her food flask. We headed to the rooftop."This place is so cool. I can literally see the whole school from here," Enny whined as she leaned over the rail, throwing her head up. I guess she was enjoying every bit of the fresh air, which even I wasn't missing out on."Yeah, it's really cool out here. Come on, let's eat our food. Lunch break is going to be ov
Chapter 29Charity POV"I don't think we will be able to go home together. I need to go somewhere on my way home. I'll come over later," Enny said to me before she left the class once it was closing time, and I guess I would be going home alone later.Done packing my things, I was about to leave the class when a junior student came to call me that Chase asked me to meet him on the rooftop, and the glares I got from the students made my skin crawl. Regardless, I left to go see him. I found him sitting on his usual seat when I got to the rooftop."You asked to see me," I spoke up as I stood in front of him."Have you made your decision? You are going to get expelled from the school if by lunchtime tomorrow you don't do the needful. I'm not going to accept your public apology, so don't waste your time," He said to me, and I clenched my fingers tightly beside me. Allowing myself to get laid by this bastard was the last thing I would do, I didn't also want to get thrown out of the school f
Chapter 30Charity POV"I'm going to apologize to him myself to pardon my girlfriend. Forgive her, Sir," Mason apologized to the principal on my behalf."You don't need to. I'm going to talk to Chase myself, and everything will be settled. You have nothing to worry about," I never imagined the principal could be this considerate, and seeing him like this was a bit shocking. Although I was enraged by the shit happening now, but I was also grayed to Mason for coming to save me when I thought there was no other way."Thank you, Sir. Can I make an announcement in her class, please?" He asked the principal, and he quickly gave him his permission. I had no idea what his connection with this school was, but it seemed to me like he was someone powerful and has an impact on the school for him to have been respected like that."Thank you," He said to the principal, then held my hand and led me out of the principal's office."What is going on?" I whispered as he walked me down the hallway, but h
Chapter 31Charity POVThe long wait was finally over, so I took a cab to the restaurant where Mason asked us to meet. The journey was a long one as there was a traffic jam, but I got there regardless. "Sorry for making you go through the stress of coming here. You should've just allowed me to pick you up," He uttered when I walked into the fancy restaurant. It was literally my first time being to such a beautiful and big restaurant, and my instinct told me immediately that this place would be meant for only wealthy people. Even average people won't be able to afford food here let alone poor people like myself that could barely survive."It's fine," I stated as I pulled out the chair and sat."What would you like to have? I'll call the wai...""No, I'm not hungry. Let's go straight to the business why we are here," I cut him off, but deep down, I wanted the food here and would even love take away if I was given the opportunity to. I would eat it for breakfast."Come on, you can't com
Chapter 32Charity POV"How did the date go?" I met Enny waiting for me at my doorstep when I got home, and she rushed to me as soon as I stepped out of the cab that came to drop me off."Why would you do that? It was all your doings and you pretended so we'll like you knew nothing about it?" I scoffed unbelievably, but she sighed."Doctor Mason is sure a snitch. I thought he promised me he was not going to tell you about it," She mumbled disappointedly."Come on, Charity. I wouldn't have folded my arms and watched you get bullied like that. I'm your friend, and I needed to do something to help you out," She pouted her lips, and I scoffed unbelievably."Whatever!" I rolled my eyes at her."How did it go? I mean the date," She asked curiously, but I shook my head."You better go back home because you are getting no words from me," I smirked at her."You can't do that to me, Charity. I've been waiting here in the cold for close to an hour. Are you going to treat your friend like this?"
Chapter 33Charity POV'I'm going to chase you for real this time' I scoffed and cursed under my breath before walking into the school compound. As always, some of the students I bumped into on my way kept throwing glances at me and I didn't even bother to give them attention. I held my backpack tightly and headed to my class.I stopped in front of the class and took a deep breath before I walked inside, and headed to my seat. "Who does she think she is? Because she is dating one of the shareholders of the school now she thinks she can boast about like that?""She's so shameless. Who knows, maybe she seduced him too. Doctor Mason would never have settled someone like her,""Seducing Chase wasn't enough, now she has seduced that young man and had him wrapped around her finger? Gosh! I had no idea people are still this shameless these days,""If she were my sister, I would've cut ties with her. I can't be family with someone this shameless," Some of the students were saying clearly to
Chapter 34Charity POV"I'm so jealous of you, girl. Everyone is going crazy over you. I'm the best friend to a celebrity," Enny whined on our way to the canteen, her attention all on her phone, but I scoffed."Does this look like a joke to you, Enny? My life is getting messed up and you are making a joke out of it? Amazing! I should cut you off real soon," I rolled my eyes, and she scoffed."Who said that I'm joking? Two handsome and super-wealthy men are going to be fighting over you soon, isn't that amazing? It's no joke," She cupped her cheeks in her palms and whined. I stopped and glared hard at her."Do you want to die?" I glared at her, but she grinned at me foolishly while still holding her cheeks."Ugh! You are so annoying," I shook my head and turned to go to the canteen, I stopped when I spot Chase and the other members of the group walking toward me, and as expected, students were following them. What do they want now? I already rejected and told him I wasn't interested, s
Chapter 35Charity POV"Ugh! I think I'm going to lose my mind, Enny. Chase is driving me nuts," I whined frustratingly as we walked down the road minutes after the school dismissed."You are in the spotlight now, so you should enjoy all you can," Again, she spilled those annoying words and I could swear that I had the urge to strangle her but tried to resist it."I may end up killing you one day, I promise," I glared hard at her, and she chuckled."Whatever! Guess what?" She squeaked excitedly."What's up?""I had lunch with Knox on the rooftop earlier, and I must confess that he's really sweet. I think I like him already. Do you think he likes me?" She held my hand and asked, blushing hard."In your dreams!" I slapped her forehead, and she winced."You didn't have to do that..." She whined, and I scoffed."I'm trying to wake you from that nonsense fantasy. You are not mad, right?" I asked her, but she rolled her eyes."Knox is not as bad as other members of the group. He is humble,
