As this thought was going on in his mind the door to their class was pushed open as the principal entered, everyone quickly sat on their seat, and Alex also removed his headphone and adjusted his sitting posture.
Following the principal closely was a teenager about their age, she was clad in a white shirt and black trousers her hair was flowing down her back like a river peacefully flowing down the mountain, her looks were so mesmerizing, coupled with the clothes she wore which brought out her perfect figure, all attention was focused on her, the boys were drooling except for Alex who only threw her a glance and averted his gaze, while the girls were feeling jealous, although they've been informed that she was beautiful they were still jealous, her looks had even surpassed Lydia's.Rachael frowned as her face swept around the class as she noticed the drooling gaze of the boys, this was the reaction of all the boys she had ever met, so she thought of them as repulsive.The principal coughed making all the boys who were drooling quickly averted their gaze as he said "this is your new classmate a transferred student from sky-high school in London, I hope you would all treat her well, and also her name is Rachael".While the principal was talking Rachael suddenly glanced at a corner in the classroom she then noticed that it was only Alex's gaze that was not intensifying as he had only taken a glace at her and averted his eyes, she was filled with curiosity as she looked at him, suddenly Alex turned his head and their gaze met, her emotions suddenly became chaotic as her heart fluttered, some kind of strange feeling welled up in her heart, she that the eye she was looking at was not cold anymore but filled with warmth, love, and care, her emotions continued to swirl up as she had no control over it, her heart started beating very fast."What kind of feeling is this," she asked herself."Is this what they call love at first sight?" she thought again."How stupid am I, let me just focus," she said to herself averting her gaze from him.Although their gaze only met and lasted for not more than two seconds it was what caused Rachael to become chaotic.Alex on the other hand had no ripples in his black eyes as he calmly averted his gaze again."Go and have your seat," the Principal said to Rachael interrupting her thoughts as he pointed to a seat near Alex.A trace of shock appeared in Rachael's eyes as she was asked to seat near Alex, she could only nod her head, while the others looked at Alex with a hint of jealousy in their eyes Alex could be less concerned about it as he did not care.When the Principal left the class Rachael walked slowly to the seat beside Alex as she sat down."Nice to meet you, my name is Rachael Fernando, what's yours," she said to Alex immediately after she sat down."Alex", Alex replied stiffly as he turned around and was about to put on his headphone."Alex what's wrong with you, can't you just reply more nicely, even if you're not interested in talking" Elizabeth suddenly said as her seat was right in front of Alex so she heard the conversation between them.She then pulled Alex's ear as she apologized to Rachael "he's very sorry, by the way, am Elizabeth his childhood friend and also his best friend" she said as she stretched her hands towards her for a handshake.Rachael smiled at Elizabeth as they shook hands "I don't mind, can we be friends" she said as she thought that Elizabeth was an easygoing person and was her type."Sure, am sure you would soon be able to make a lot of friends" Elizabeth replied.Soon the teacher came in, they were already informed by the Principal about the transfer student in this particular class so none of them disturbed her and just continued with their classes as per normal.Some hours later, the school had already ended for the day, and everyone was going home either in their private cars or in a taxi.Elizabeth approached Rachael and she said "mind if we go home together," she asked."Thanks for your concern, but I don't know where I will be living, am new in Cambridge I just moved here from London so I don't know where I would be staying, but my mom would soon come and pick me up as she would have already prepared a place I would be living" Rachael replied.Elizabeth nodded as she changed the topic as the two were conversing happily the two had gone along well.While they were talking a blue car came to halt in their front as it honked loudly "oops I would have to go or that blockhead would leave me here" Elizabeth said to Rachael when she saw the car naturally she was referring to Alex.Immediately Elizabeth got into the car Alex drove off not giving her a chance to bid Rachael goodbye."What an asshole are you, you wouldn't even wait for me to greet her goodbye" Elizabeth pouted when after the car had driven away.Alex just shrugged his shoulders and did not reply.After the car had left another car pulled up in front of Rachael, it was her mother.Hop in, let's get to your new apartment" her mother said from the car."Mum where is the apartment located," she asked curiously immediately after she entered the car."It's at Harvard square, not too far from your school, the houses there aren't too bad either" her mother replied.Rachael nodded as she looked through the window of the car as it moved admiring the beauty of Cambridge, it was way more beautiful than London, the tall building, and the others.Soon they arrived at a street after driving for over ten minutes, the houses in this particular street were a little more beautiful and bigger than the streets they had passed through, although the houses here were more dispersed within the area."Here we are, this is Harvard square and this is the apartment where you would be staying for the time being," Rachael's mother said after she had stopped the car in front of a building, next to it was another building like it."Mum isn't this apartment too large for me," Rachael said as she observed the building."No it's not too large, I think you would like it in here", her mother replied."Come on let's get into the house, I have all your luggage moved in before we arrived, am sure you would like the interior design more", she continued. The IOn getting into the house Rachael looked around in amazement, her mother truly knows what she likes, everything was to her liking."I hope you like everything in here, I would take your silence as yes, I have already looked for someone who would come here every morning to clean the house and also cook your meals, if you don't want them to cook your meals you could just ask them to leave it, by the way, I have already transferred enough money to your account to make sure you do not lack anything, don't forget to tell me once it's finished, I need to go now, duty calls", her mum said not giving Rachael a chance to reply.As her mum was about to go out she turned around and pulled Rachael into a hug as she said "be good to everyone, ohh by the way I have already informed the neighbors about you so they would soon come to visit and make sure you don't give them a cold shoulder", she then turned around and left the house.In the house next to Rachael's "Alex we have a new neighbor" his aunt Maddy yelled from the kitchen."Is our neighbor he or she" Alex yelled back from the dining as he was having his lunch.Ever since his parents had lost their lives in a car accident as he was told, he had been living with his aunt Maddy since then."What's your business about the neighbors being he or she, coke and take this meal am preparing after you've finished your lunch" his aunt replied.She knew about his attitude of indifference and being cold and mean toward girls since the incident with Lydia.Rachael who was in the next house to theirs lay down on the bed as she gazed at the ceiling her mind drifted to when her gaze met Alex in the class since then she had been trying to remove him from her mind but it seemed impossible.Suddenly the doorbell rang, she quickly got up to open the door for the visitor but she froze on opening the door as it was Alex.Alex too froze when he saw her, since the time he had laid his eyes on her his emotions had become chaotic as he kept thinking of her, he had been trying to get her out of his mind but it just seemed impossible."My aunt said I should give this topic to you," Alex said with a straight face without any introduction when he saw it was her, handling a lunch box.Rachael stretched her hands as she collected the lunch box from him and thanked him, she could only smile bitterly when she saw his cold attitude towards her she wondered what she had done to offend him, as she longed to know the reason behind his cold attitude.I hate herAfter Alex had left, Rachael stood there dumbstruck, so he was her neighbor her mother had talked about, did she know that Alex lived here beforehand, no that shouldn't be, she thought as she finally sighed before she closed the door and entered the house. "Aunt! Aunt!, why did you send me to the next house when you know that its inhabitant is a female of my age, you know that I hate all girls" Alex yelled at his aunt when he got back inside. His aunt just looked at him before totally ignoring him. Seeing his aunt ignoring him he stomped upstairs to his room. His aunt just shook her head as she watched him going into his room, Alex was not like that in the past, he was a kind person, he usually treats everyone was the love and care but after the incident, he had become cold towards everybody especially the opposite gender, the only ones he was not cold to was were the people that were close to him. Alex lay down on his bed staring at his ceiling, his mind drifting to th
The next morning Alex woke up with a yawn, thinking of what had happened yesterday he realized that he had already fallen for this new girl, he just shook his head as he made his way to the bathroom preparing for school.Thirty minutes later he was already prepared for school, he was eating his breakfast smiling to himself, nobody knew what he was thinking, if the girls of his class were to see him now they would never believe it was Alex the handsome but cold and indifferent dude. The doorbell rang as Alex shouted, "come in". The door was then opened as Elizabeth and Eric walked in. "Alex what was wrong with you yesterday," Elizabeth said pulling Alex's ear before he had the chance to say anything. "Aww! Am sorry, I promise I won't do that again", Alex apologized making Elizabeth who was pulling his ear twist it harder before finally leaving him alone looking satisfied with herself. "What are you laughing at", Alex said when he saw Eric who was by the side snickering. Some minut
As she thought about this, Eric's phone suddenly rang loudly, everyone in the cafeteria turned that look at him, ignoring everyone he picked up his phone, seeing the caller's ID he frowned, why was Alex calling him, he thought.Picking up the phone "are you Eric" a female voice asked from the other end of the phone. Eric frowned when he heard the voice he did not know who the person who was talking was, after contemplating he replied "yes I am". "Good, your attention is needed, the owner of this phone had an accident and has been rushed here to Cambridge north in Alexis hospital and we need to operate on him so we need someone related to him to sign some papers," the voice said. Eric's face increasingly became ugly when he heard the information, Cambridge north was not far from their school, how had Alex been involved in an accident, "ok I would be there soon" he replied in a grave voice before hanging up the phone. Rachael and Elizabeth looked at Eric anxiously "what's wrong" they
Alex opened his eyes to the beeping of the machine as he looked around, he was unfamiliar with the place he was, he tried to remember what had happened last before he fell unconscious it then occurred to him that the last thing he saw was a truck hitting his car, he then looked around once more before he noticed he was in the hospital, some familiar figures were sitting close to him and even a female figure among them was holding his hands, two of the figures noticed his gaze before they jumped up to hug him as if he had been missing for long, naturally, that was Elizabeth and Eric, then noticed that the figure holding his hands had left it abruptly after she noticed he had woken up. Immediately he saw the figure intently, string of memories poured into his head, he remembered that after he had helped this figure out when she was bullied in the cafeteria his emotions had gone out of control, leading him to go out of the school, he was unable to focus when he was driving because of the
"Come on guys let's go visit Rachael," Alex said much to the shock of his friends.Staring at him wide eyes opened, they looked at him in shock "he wants to visit Rachel at home", where they dreamed."What's wrong with you guys"."Nothing, nothing" they both replied."Then stop staring at me like that and let us proceed", he continued."But why do you want to visit her, you've never stepped into the boundary of that house since she moved in, or is it that our dear Alex has finally fallen in love" Alex's aunt interjected teasing him."Why can't I visit her she was by my side when I was in a coma even refusing to go to school it's just normal for me to repay her act of kindness" Alex pouted in reply."Well well somebody has finally fallen in love but is refusing to admit it" Elizabeth by the side also teased him, making Alex go in red in anger.Alex turned to look at Eric who was by his side and had yet to say anything."Why staring at me like that I was not the one teasing you," Eric sa
"Do you know where she has gone," Eric behind Alex asked the gardener calmly when he saw that Alex was no longer able to think clearly? "ERM, I also don't know where she went, I only knew that yesterday, she packed all her luggage and moved out with a woman, who seems it was her mother" he replied."Thanks very much for the help," Eric said politely to the gardener.Alex had sunk into a deep abyss of no return, the instant he heard what the gardener said, Rachael had moved out with her mother, but to where? what had happened for her to move out without saying a word to him? he asked himself. She had never said a word about it to Alex, even though she thought she would be able to stay in Cambridge for over two years, but who would have thought that her mother would suddenly come and ask them to move out, this time her mother was in such a hurry, she did not have any time for an explanation nor allowing her to bid farewell to her friends. She quickly composed a letter, and left it for
At the Randolph hotel in Oxford, Rachel and her mother had finally stopped for the night, so they lodged in the hotel, they would continue on their journey the next day, up till this moment, her mother hadn't told her where their destination was, lying on her bed Rachel thought about her last moments with Alex although he hadn't told her he loved her she still felt that their moments together was romantic, she did not know when she fell asleep.The next day Rachel woke up early, as they continued on their journey, four hours later they arrived at Bangor, there was a university in Bangor, so Lydia decided to enroll in the university. She enrolled in the university there, this time around her mother was living with her, she would come home every day, naturally, Rachel was surprised that her mother had started living with her, she was very happy about it, she did not ask her mother the reason behind her stay at home, anytime her mother came home, she would teach Rachel some self-defense
Looking at the pair of a male and female sitting down and enjoying the scenario by the lake, one could not help but feel a sense of jealousy, the two figures looked so much in peace, that they seemed to forget what time was, or how many people looked over at them, they were in such a tranquil state that it was as if they did not know what was going on, it was as if that they were not a couple from this world, it felt like they were a couple from another world that came to take a vacation on earth. Many people who had passed by, looked at the two sitting by the lake in such a tranquil manner, and could not help but feel somewhat jealous of the two, it seems like they were a match made from heaven.The young woman sitting by the young man was so beautiful, her looks mesmerized all the males passing by, to the point where they were left in confusion, "how could someone be as beautiful as that?" that was the question that appeared in their mind, the young man also sitting by her side was s
Alex looked at the soldiers who surrounded them with a smirk on his face. He knew there was nothing he could say that would convince them not to shoot when Clinton gives the order."So are you willing to surrender now," Clinton smiled, walking toward Alex, stopping only when he was some meters away from him.Hey had mistaken the smirk on Alex's face as that of fear thus which led to his confidence.In a normal circumstance, he wouldn't have dared to go near Alex as he knew he was very cunning and could do anything to him."And what do you plan on doing to me if I don't surrender?" Alex replied with a smile.Clinton's expression became ashen when he heard Alex's words. He wanted to go forward and strangle him at the moment but he couldn't do it.He was sure if he went any closer to Alex he was going to use him as a hostage to escape from the place."Aren't you going to give up? It's futile if you think you can escape with her in one piece." "And how's that your business?" Alex frowned
"I would ask you once again Alex, What's your stand?" Clinton frowned when he saw that Alex didn't reply."I refuse," Alex replied, smiling smugly.Clinton's expression became ashen when he heard Alex's reply."How dare you?" Clinton gritted his teeth glaring at Alex.If it was not because he could not beat him, he would have long used force.He must use this opportunity to teach Alex a lesson he would never forget in his lifetime.Alex ignored Clinton and continued playing with his phone. The professor's expression wasn't good either as he could smell gunpowder in the air."I hereby order you on behalf of the government to hand it over," Clinton glanced at Alex ordering with a smirk.The professor's face became even more ashen when he heard Clinton's words.He had been expecting the day Clinton would use the government's name to try to get what he wanted.Even though he was sure that it was the higher-ups that had instructed him to come to collect it, he didn't expect them to be out
Before any of them could react, a man with concealed features walked into the room in large strides.Alex looked at the man who had just barged in uninvited but didn't say anything.Instead, he looked at the professor as he was sure the professor would know the man.And not much to his surprise, he saw the professor's expression become distorted from anger.Alex smiled seeing this, even though he didn't know what relationship the man and the professor had."Old man, how have you been?" The man smiled as he glanced at the professor with a mocking smile."Clinton, what are you doing here?" Professor Wilfred gritted his teeth as he managed to ask the man directly, ignoring his question."Your temper is just as it had always been...""I've told you old man many times that your temper won't change a thing." The man smiled mockingly, ignoring the professor's questions."Get out!" The professor pointed at the door signifying the man to leave."Ohh no professor, you have some visitors." The m
Not long, the four reached the home of the elderly in Cambridge located at.Parking the car, they came out of it walking with the items they bought at the mall on the way."Do you think the authorities would allow us inside," Eric whispered to Alex."Yeah, they would allow us. Why do you ask?" Alex turned to look at Eric."Because I feel it's awkward visiting," he replied."Well, I don't think there is something awkward in it visiting the elderly. It just reminds us of our grandparents," Alex smiled.Eric nodded and didn't say anything again. Soon they reached the gate. After the securities finished checking them they entered the building.The building was a tall and magnificent one painted white. There were flowers all around. The air in the surroundings was pleasant and nice to breathe in. The four took in some of the air as they smiled.The four walked into the building looking around. Immediately they entered they were surrounded by the elderly who had longed for people to talk wi
The three sat down beside Alex's bed. While Elizabeth and Eric sat down beside Alex's bed. Rachel sat directly on Alex's leg on the bed."I thought you would still be sleeping." Rachel said kissing Alex on the cheeks."How's your health now," Elizabeth asked looking at Alex."Am fine now." Alex yawned loudly."But how came you were beaten till you fainted." Eric suddenly asked."Well, you see. I was attacked by some enemies of the organization I work for who wanted me dead." Alex lied. He couldn't tell them the truth.Eric and Elizabeth shook their heads. This was the theory they had come up with and it turned out to be the case.Suddenly Alex's stomach growled and a pang of hunger hit him.Elizabeth, Eric, and Rachel looked at Alex. Alex rubbed his embarrassedly as silence descended the place.Suddenly the door to Alex's room opened and aunt Maddy came in."Alex you've woken up. I was about to come to wake you up to eat." Aunt Maddy said breaking the silence."Ohh yeah, aunt. Am very
Alex opened his eyes slowly, everywhere was blurry at first, but it soon became clear, he felt a spinning headache, it was as if someone was pounding on his head, he couldn't understand what was happening.He looked around his surroundings and noticed he was at home, on his bed, suddenly the splitting headache became stronger as he screamed in pain loudly, memory of what had happened came rushing into his head as he remembered everything.He remembered the last thing he saw, was Rachel drifting with the car she assembled at the underground lab to hit Richard who was hitting him, then Richard threw him at the car in an attempt to stop Rachel, but Rachel drifted the car in a manner that he was able to land at the back seat, that was the last seat he saw before he lost consciousness.He wondered how Rachel was able to escape the men and bring him home from Wales, cause he was sure that the men would chase after her.Rachel who was sitting on the sofa in the sitting room heard Alex's scre
Due to some technical problem the writer had problems in writing, I hope you can bear with him.Sorry for the inconveniences.----Lydia looked at her father and the other man as they go into the helicopter, she had lots of questions running through her mind, why were her father and the other man so desperate that they went as far as to go to Rachel's house? what was it they were after, could the thing be so important they had to forgone everything and chase after a girl and a guy who had fainted?She watched as the helicopter rose in the air wondering where they were headed this time, she wished she could ask her father all the questions in her mind, but she knew that right now he wouldn't give her a satisfactory answer to her questions.---On the highway of Wales. Rachel sat in the car thinking about what had been happening ever she met Alex again, from the run to the accident, then the attack at her house, to the truth about their parent's past, and then this haunted building, was
"Searching for the perfect match," the Al voice was heard again.The top of Rachel's car automatically opened and something like a scanning machine came out from the top scanning its surroundings, after some seconds of searching, the machine was retracted and went back into the car."Perfect match found, changing structure and color, please let go of the steering, would go in automated driving mode," the AI said again.Immediately, Rachel let go of the steerings as she watched, suddenly she felt the car she was in began to restructure itself, she could feel as some parts of the car enlarged while some parts became smaller, it was as if someone or something was remodeling it, all this while the car didn't stop and continued to move at the same place Rachel had left it, after sometimes, the Al voice was heard again, "camouflage completed, deactivating automated drive."Immediately Rachel took hold of the steerings again as she continued driving, but this time she didn't drive fast but r
Harry and Richard stood rooted to their spots, there was dust everywhere, but they could care less about it, they stared at the hole in the wall, only they knew how strong and hard the wall was, but here the car had broken through the wall with just a ramming, they had not believed their eyes at first, thinking the car would become spoilt the instant it hit the wall, but it was then they realize the car had indestructible features to its already amazing features.Their eyes burned with hatred, Drake and Fernando had not told them the car had this feature, they wished they could go back in time and kill the both once again, but there was nothing they could, just now the car was in their reach, but now they had lost it, if not for the fact that they had underestimated Alex and Rachel, this wouldn't have happened, instantly the two regretted not stopping Rachel immediately they entered the garage and saw what she was doing."Mobilize your men, they should follow that girl," Richard said t
