The real encounter

  AVERY’s POV

  

  Finally, the class for today is done, I've been dying to go home.

  

  I stood up from my chair, opened the cupboard, and yanked my bag out from inside happily. I felt so fulfilled. Then reality hit me again, The principal. 

  

  When I first got the job he was always very nice and sweet to me, but all of a sudden he turned into something else. I did not want what he said about only employing single ladies to stress me out.

  

  When I walked out of the school building, I sat on the bench close to the entrance waiting for Camila. 

  

  I took out my phone from my bag and called her phone, but it was not reachable. 

  

  I stared at the view in front of me, and all I could do was smoke. The children ran about and waved at me. They looked more eager to leave the school to their houses than I did. 

  

  “Hey, Girl. There you are!”

  

  I looked behind me and saw Nick holding some brown files in his hands. He looked more like a professor than a high school teacher.

  

  “Hey, bestie. How are you doing?”

  

  He came and sat next to me with his eyes pointing directly to my breast.

  

  “What are you looking at, you pervert?”

  I hit his chest gently and we both chuckled. He would normally do that just to tease me. What I wore covered me almost too well. 

  

  “They are getting bigger, but that aside, did you see how Karen the principal has been moving recently? Their bond or friendship looks a bit too forced”

  

  I thought about what the principal told me earlier, and about what Nick just said. I cocked my head, lifted my eyebrows, and thought about telling him about my encounter with the principal, but Nick would force me to report the principal to the CEO. As y’all know I hate the CEO with so much passion in me.

  

  When I turned my head around again I saw the CEO and his friend coming out the door, both looking very fly and handsome. 

  

  “No wonder I allowed him to hit on the first day”

  I giggled aggressively and whispered to myself. I mean I am not saying I would let every hot dude hit it, but there was just something about him that night. He gave so much Aura, and he was very convincing too that I couldn't help, but fall into his trap. 

  

  “Avery, look, it is the CEO,” Nick tapped my hands, and said loudly to them. “You look so good, sir. You both”

  

  He said to them while I shut my eyes and looked away.

  

  “Thanks, man”

  

  They both shook hands with Nick while I avoided eye contact.

  

  “Miss Avery, you need a ride?”

  

  When he asked me that, I was too stunned not to turn around. I looked at his face, and he had that mischievous smirk again. 

  

  Avery, you can not fall for it again! Not again! You must resist.

  

  “I am fine, sir. And I am sure that you are not going my route”

  

  “Are you sure about that? I think I am”

  

  I looked at Nick’s face and we both slightly lifted our shoulders to mock Axell.

  

  “I do not think you are. You don't know where I live, sir. I appreciate it, but thank you”

  

  His friend had gone to drive the car out from the CEO's spot. 

  

  “Okay, we will see how that plays out then, Miss Avery”

  

  He nodded at both Nick and me then he walked away with a beautiful but sinister look. While I frowned at his words. 

  

  Who is this man, and what does he want with me? This is so frustrating.

  

  Nick left while I was all alone again on the bench. 

  

  Camila had never stayed this long before. “What is keeping her?” I stood up from the bench, walked outside the gate, and then continued calling her line, but still no answer or any sign of her. The school was getting dry, and the security had been looking at me like I was obstructing his work. 

  

  I hate taking taxis home, but I guess I had no choice, right?

  

  I called Logan’s school, and they said Camila had already left with Logan. So, what was keeping them? I tried not to panic even though it wasn't working. I had to pull myself together. I walked over to the tap, tied my hair to the back, and then splashed water on my face.

  

  I saw the principal and Karen walking towards me, and I knew I wasn't interested in having a conversation with either of them, so I took my bag and then ran out of the gate. 

  

  “Fine, I will take a taxi”

  

  After standing for about 5 minutes. I saw a car driving close to me, but it didn't look anything like a taxi from afar. It was a sleek black Mercedes Benz. I could see it glitter from afar. The car looked so exquisite, and I was so sure it was worth millions. 

  

  The car began to reduce its speed when it got close to me until it finally stopped. 

  

  I wondered who was in it, but no matter how hard I tried to look it was pointless because the windows were tinted. 

  

  I looked away, and then the door opened. I was forced to look, and I was shocked beyond imagination when I saw who it was. 

  

  The CEO? I thought he left. That was the first thought that came to my mind. 

  

  “I do not want anyone to see me giving you a lift, Avery,” He pointed at the school’s gate and then said. “So, you have a minute or I go my way. Your choice”

  

  He got back into the car. I was left starstruck by his words and confidence. After contemplating for a few minutes I decided to get in. I mean aside from the fact that Camila wasn't coming I had never sat in a Mercedes Benz before and I knew I was dying to have a try. 

  

  “Now, I got you”
