Chapter 13

Clara held his neck and kissed him deeply. At first, Clyde didn't respond to the kiss, which made her worried. She then became rough, and then it worked. He kissed her back intensely and squeezed her hips that were rubbing on his manhood.

A moan escaped her lips, and as they continued with their illegal activity in school, Liam spotted them.

Mia noticed Liam's eyes were looking elsewhere, and she turned her head to his direction.

At a wall where the popular kids usually stayed, she saw two people making out. She a girl with long pigtails, and she immediately knew it was Clara.

But then she saw medium length black hair that cascaded beside Clara's cheeks.

'Clyde,' she immediately knew.

"Mia, let's head to class, two minutes for the lessons to start," Liam saw how distracted she was by the scene.

Mia felt her heart strange, as if her heart was crumbling to pieces. She did know why but she felt sad.

She nodded at Liam, and they walked together. She felt her poor heart calm down when she conversed with Liam. They had so many things in common, which she noticed. By the time they opened the class door, the bell rang, and students sprinted to class.

The chemistry teacher entered and the class became as quiet as if no one was inside.

"Okay, so, for this weekend, I want y'all to have a partner. There is an experiment I want you to work on. Since y'all ten pupils, I only need a duo to carry out this experiment. You are gonna chose your partners for yourself, I need teamwork, and by Monday, you shall present tour work on the current topic. I shall leave y'all to choose a partner. Strictly two people equals to five teams," the grumpy man walked out and noise ensued. Everyone hurried to their friends to team up.

"Mia," Clyde called her, but Mia quickly stood up headed to Liam and held his arm, smiling. Clyde was about to follow her when Clara interrupted.

"Hey boo, let's team up," Clyde just looked at her, passed her and approached Liam and Mia. She felt like crying. How could he do this to her!

"Mia, remember? Since we are not gonna do Physics, lets do Chemistry. You and I could make a pretty good team," Clyde said after reaching to where they were, and glared at Liam's arm, where Mia had intertwined their arms.

"As you can see Clyde, she chose me, Clara is still waiting for you," Clyde seemed pissed off, ready to punch him. Were they really best friends?

"Sorry Clyde.. I...am..s..orrr..y," she felt bad for rejecting him, but after what happened between him and Clara, she wanted to avoid him like a plague.

"But Mia, that's not fair, OK let's do this, Liam, do you want to work with her? Because I was supposed to this weekend," Clyde frowned at him, his brows almost knotting. He made a threatening gesture to Liam, which Mia didn't notice as she didn't want to look at him. Clyde got whatever he wanted, and if he didn't, he would make the person live a nightmare.

Liam felt bad, he knew what Clyde was capable of. He himself had grown a liking towards Mia. He wondered if Mia liked him too, but then he noted how Mia behaved after Clyde made out with Clara. 'Maybe am meant not to have a girlfriend after all,' He thought. Clyde was always taking every spotlight for him and other guys in school. Girls would drool for him, be used then dumped. Too bad Liam was not into used trashy girls.

"Uh..sorry Mia, I... I...since Clyde said he was gonna be revising with you, I can't be so unfair, thank you though, how about next time?" he offered Mia a fake smile, feeling bad because he was letting go the girl he genuinely liked.

Seeing she had no other partner, she nodded. Clara went and joined one of her friends, and Liam teamed up with a girl.

Some pupils in the class were quick to notice the scenario.

***************

Evening reached, and it was time to go home. "How was your day, Mia?" Zane asked as always after they entered Raquel's car.

"It was good, how about you?" she replied smiling, almost hypnotizing Zane with those ocean blue rare eyes.

Once again, he was lost in her beauty, staring at her red plump lips and long eyelashes, that when she blinked someone would think of it as seduction.

"Zanneee, wake up! whatchu staring at, do I have something on my face?" she snapped her fingers at the boy, who had sat so close to her.

"N..nothing," he laughed awkwardly.

Raquel came a bit later, and sat in front of them, next to the driver. Her mood seemed gloomy, and it was not a good idea to talk to her. She probably fought with someone.

Mia was dropped off first this time, and suddenly, a white fluffy animal approached the car.

"Toby!!" Mia was happy to see him. "Zane, this is Toby, my loyal friend that I told you earlier about," before Zane could say anything, Raquel interrupted.

"Ewww... don't let that dirty thing enter my car, chauffeur, let's go," the driver drove off.

"I wonder who was the dirty thing, am so happy you're here Mia, let's go inside, I thought you abandoned me, Phew!" the dog exclaimed, if a person person by, the would think the dog was ferocious by the way it was barking.

"Awww, buddy, I missed you too, I'll never abandon you, come let's get you something to eat," they entered the house, and Mia quickly hugged Greta, who was now happy.

"Greta, I shall be bringing a guest tomorrow to work on an experiment our Chemistry teacher has given us, hope you don't mind?" she said opening the fridge to take a refreshment.

"I don't mind at all, but I won't be in the house, I found a job at the market, so you'll be seeing me less, there is plenty of food, for you and for Toby. Also, I shall be leaving extra money under your pillow if you need anything, Sunday I will be free, so don't worry dear," she said and Mia nodded.

They cooked ate supper, and retired to bed.

*************

In Mia's room.

"Toby, how was your day? I still haven't got over the fact that I can understand you, do you think I can understand other dogs?" Mia said lifting Toby and snuggling him on her bed.

"My day was relaxing, I am also excited that you can understand me. According to what I know, I don't usually understand my fellow stray dogs, that is because they aren't the intelligent species like me. I was trained, and that is why when you tell me to sit, I will. Some dogs can't understand a thing, because they are dumb. So if a dog isn't trained, we can't understand each other. My conclusion is that you can only understand the intelligent types of dogs. In cases such as squirrels, cats, birds, you won't be able to understand them, They are so stupid...I feel sleepy, goodnight, I..love..y.." the dog fell asleep, and Mia smiled widely at the last words of the dog. Toby had fallen asleep on her bed.

She snuggled it and eventually drifted to sleep.

************

The next morning, Mia woke up to find Greta already gone, there was a box of cereals and milk on the dining table.

She ate breakfast, and took a bubble bath. Toby still sleeping like a toddler, though he was a puppy. A talkative intelligent puppy.

She wore a blue dress with a knot at her waist, and blue stockings with a blue garter. She had never worn a dress before, but Greta bought her many of them, and told her to make use of them.

She tied the knot that complimented her ant waist, and her glass hour petite body. The dress was at knee length, but she didn't feel comfortable with it, because her hips had raised the dress above her knees, where her stockings had reached. Her thick white hair cascaded down to her hips, since It was hard to tie her thick long hair by herself.

The dog woke up later, and Mia trained him his to get food, use the toilet well and flush it. After bathing Toby, they watched TV and the bell rang. Mia's heartbeat increased as she knew whom it was.

Toby barked at the door, shouting visitor which of cause, Mia could only understand.

When she opened the door, Clyde was already waving at her.
