Mara's POV"That is all for now. If there is anything that I would like to add then I will tell you while we continue the journey so far,Do you have any questions?" Keren asked me after she was done giving me so many instructions that I wondered if I was supposed to be writing them down so I wouldn't forget anything."But you said that I shouldn't ask you any questions" I looked at her with my confused eyes."I didn't say that, I only said you shouldn't ask me many questions and the questions I'm requesting you to ask right now are the ones that concern the instructions that I have given you.Is there anything that needs to be clarified?" She asked again and I nodded my head sideways as a way of telling her no and she started the car.It was a very quiet drive to wherever she was taking me but the silence was soon broken by the sound of cars, horning impatient drivers who were also caught in the traffic with us at the highway.I looked out the window to see the world from another per
Mara's povWhen the waiter served the food for both the lady and myself. I stared at the good and then at the akdy wondering whether it would be proper for me to eat or not.I looked at Keren who sat far behind the lady as she was also munching on her food but the look she gave me was a "don't stare at me'' look.You are going to ruin the plan" yes she didn't say anything with her lips though but her eyes were more than enough warning for me.I brought out my phone and sent her a text."Can I eat this food?" I waited for her reply."Why not?" She instantly replied."What if she is trying to kill me? I am too young to die from food poisoning" I sent the last one with a crying emoji and she sent a laughing emoji."You can also feed her some, just to be sure" she finally replied and put my phone back in my pocket before I scooped some of the spoon with a smile on my face as I fed the pretty lady.I cannot believe I am being paid so much just to feed someone this beautiful, I could do it
At Lakshmi's houseAfter Lakshmi had dropped Mia at the orphanage on an early Monday morning, she came back home very frustrated as she walked into the house like someone who wasn't thinking straight.Her eyes looked somewhere different from where her legs walked. She dragged her school bag like gabbage and sat on the couch, burying her face in between her palms.Everything that happened that dreadful night kept on playing in her head like a recorded movie, she just couldn't get herself to stop thinking about it and it was slowly driving her crazy.She messed up her hair and pinched her face a little out of anger, the worst part of everything was that she wasn't even able to ask Mia how she managed to save herself from Alyssa.Her brother carefully observed her from a distance, even though she didn't know that she was being watched."So I am guessing that the school's sleepover didn't go as planned" Scott threw an apple in the air and then caught it."No
Lakshmi's POV"You are m*d Scott! You are very m*d!" I gave him a slap across the face but the slap wasn't too hard, it was just enough to make him release his grip on me and I got up from the bed."Ouch!" He exclaimed in pain."Do you even know what you're saying?" I was so angered that I couldn't bring my voice down.He immediately stood up as well and covered my mouth. I bit his hand and he removed his hand from my mouth, waving them in the air and trying to shake the pain off."Wow sis! You are a fighter" Scott looked surprised."Next time I will break your bones" I threatened him but he just scoffed."Why are you so jealous?" Scott was trying to play with me."JEALOUS? Realty Scott? You think I am jealous? You bring a mannerless girl into the house without telling me and I am not sure mom and dad know about this. I cannot wait to tell them" I brought out my phone threatening to dial my father's line but he stopped me by forcefully taking it from
Still at Mia's schoolMia couldn't even wait for Jones to get to where she stood before she slammed her locker and walked away.She was walking so fast that it almost felt like she was running. Jones knew that chasing after her would be the worst idea ever as he went back to where he left his friend."I told you she was a very bad choice" Nathan tapped Jones on his shoulder as he pressed his lips and shook his head."Just shut up okay" Jones walked away, he looked more sad than angry.The next day at Mia's schoolLakshmi's POVI blew some air into my cheek as I played with my hair while I sat on my desk waiting for Mia.The classroom door wasn't closed and I could see what was going on. Mia was trying to enter the classroom and a very cute guy was coming from the opposite direction when he bumped into her.I didn't find it strange that Mia tried her best to avoid eye contact with this guy because, well, that's just Mia. But when I had my suspicion
At Mia's schoolThe teacher walked into class and as usual the class was noisy. Lakshmi just couldn't stop talking, she was the person that got the teacher's attention the most because she didn't even notice when the teacher arrived, the teacher was backing her and Mia couldn't give her friend a signal."I hope I will be able to join the conversation as well" the teacher hovered over Lakshmi as she turned around and looked very ashamed, she felt so embarrassed and Alyssa felt happy about it."Sit down miss Lakshmi '' the teacher ordered and Lakshmi sat back down, lowering her head in shame."Sorry" Mia whispered and Lakshmi gave a faint smile.After some minutes, Lakshmi didn't feel so embarrassed anymore if not for Alyssa who kept taunting her with her eyes, Alyssa just couldn't hide her smile."I just wish that nails would pierce her ass as she is sitting down there" Lakshmi murmured to herself and Mia heard her."I think it's possible," Mia whispered.
At Mia's school.Alyssa was making her way out of the hall when she bumped into someone. She placed her palm on her forehead which was hurting so much as her head collided with a hard chest."Nsss.. are you blind or something? Or is it that you walk around with your eyes closed?" she scolded without even looking up to see who she bumped into."I'm so sorry…I really didn't mean to bump into you. It was an accident I swear" a hoarse deep male voice was trying to plead with her.The voice was so soothing that it got Alyssa's attention as she looked up to see a fine young guy who should be around 20 years or so. She just couldn't stop staring at him as her heart skipped a bit, at least that's how she felt.Lakshmi who was coming behind Alyssa saw what was happening and quickly made her way to the boy, dragging him out of Alyssa's presence."What the hell are you doing here Scott?" Lakshmi tried to scold her brother in a low tone to avoid drawing the attention of
Alyssa's POV"What are you even saying Alyssa?" My mum was confused as she continued to stir the red glowing mixture in the big pot before putting some drops on a squirrel that was in front of her."Mum.. you heard me right and you are asking me?" I grumbled."I just want to hear you say it again." My mum teased me some more and I was a bit upset because she knew how to tease me alot."Mum I like a boy.. have you heard me now?" I lowered my voice as I looked down."And who is this boy my daughter likes?" She came closer to me and held my chin up." I don't know much about him but I bumped into him two days ago and I am sure he is Lakshmi's brother" I confessed everything to my mum."Lakshmi? Isn't she Mia's nosy best friend or something like that?" My mum shook her head as if trying to remember something."Yes mum, she is the one" I looked up to my mum with my cracking voice."And you like her brother" my mum laughed at me."Mum.. stop teasing
