CHAPTER 10

. ANDREA POV

Still standing with my back towards him, I knew I was in deep trouble.

Why did I come into this room? Why didn't I do, I have to be such an inquisitive, it's the reason why am in this mess right now? I thought as I began to think of a way to avoid him at all cost

"Didn't you hear me? Who the hell are you to come into this room ?"He said behind me and I stiffened.

Knowing that I would have to talk, say something, I said the first thing that came into my head.

"I was asked to bring this tray into this room,I didn't do any thing sir"I said still not starring at him

Just then I heard footsteps behind me and I knew that he was coming towards me

As soon as he got to me,I bowed my head making my hair spill to cover my face so he wouldn't be able to see and recognise me.

"I thought I made it very clear that I didn't want any maid coming in here"He said

"Am sorry sir,It's just that am new here and I lost my ,......."

"Save it,If you are new then rose would have told you what the consequence of disobeying me is "He said with out any compassion

he went towards the land line that was in the room and I knew that he was about to call rose

Quickly I ran towards him and the phone and threw it out of the window

"Are you crazy!"he yelled at me

"Am sorry,Am really sorry sir,If you want as long as I work here,I won't let you glimpse a shadow of me but please don't fire me,We really need this job,Please reconsider"I said with my hair still covering my face and then quickly I ran out of the room and went down stairs,Straight to my room.

As soon as I got into the safety of my room,I breathe down in relief,I still can't believe that the guy from the roof top is the son of our new boss.

That was why that picture looked familiar, That was his brother and they looked so much alike ,I thought as I layed on the bed.

Why did I have to meet him here again,Couldn't fate be more cruel,I thought as I remembered the harsh way he talked to me at the roof top and also the time that I saw him at the garden crying.

Could he be suffering because of his brother death,Could his brother death have turned him into the hard,Ruthless and merciless guy he is now.

What am I thinking! It has got nothing to do with me, What I should be more worried about is that he wouldn't try to look for me and tell me face to face that have been fired.

Mom will be so devastated if she knew what had happened,So I didnt say any thing to her.

"You have been out all day,Where did you go?"I asked as she took off her clothes.

Going to her bag she drew out a document and gave it to me

"What's this? "I asked as I stared at it.

"Just read what's in it" She said and I opened it up and when I read what is in it,I stared at her in shock

"You enrolled me into another private school?"I asked

"Yes,Jupiter high, I like the school and am sure that when you begin,You will enjoy it very much" She said

"Mom!"I yelled as I stood up suddenly

"What's wrong with you?"She asked as she stared at me

"You said I won't be attending any more private schools,So why this?"I asked

"I never said that! You assumed it your self"She replied

"But I told you that I will be fine going to a public school"I said

"And I told you that I wouldn't let you go to a public school!"She replied now angry her self

"Mom,I don't want to go to another rich school,Just let me go to an unknown school, I promise that I will work so hard and become some one great just as you want me to be,I really don't have to go to this school"I said

"You are going,I already payed for the first semester "She said

"What? Jupiter high is a very expensive school ,How did you get the money to pay for the first semester?"I asked

"My savings,Don't think that because am a maid I don't have enough money "She said

"I know but that money can be used for other purpose"

"I know what am doing okay and stop nagging me about the school and fill out the necessary questions"She yelled at me

Sitting down,I began to scroll through the page until I could stare at it no more

Blindly I put in my signature and gave it to her

"As soon as the weekend ends,You will be starting with them on Monday"She said

"Just let me ask you mom,Did you tell them that I was the daughter of a rich family or the daughter of a maid"I asked

"Don't ask that,All you have to do is to get ready for your new school and don't mess it up"She said

"Fine then"I replied and turned to look out through the window,I didn't feel like talking to her again.

Because my thoughts were now preoccupied by the new school I was going to attend.

MONDAY MORNING

I stood in front of the mirror,Starring at my self in my new uniform.

I won't deny that it looks great on me and it's well fitted.

But the thought of attending another rich school where bullying kids might be made me feel that the school is not fitted enough

"What are you still waiting for,Get off to school"My mom yelled at me and I carried my bag and head out of the room.

I soon as I got to the big compound,I saw him standing by the front door answering some calls and quickly I hid behind a wall.

Ever since that incident with him finding me in his brother room,Have been doing all my best not to run into him.

He spoke on the phone for a while and then he went back in.

Quickly I ran out of the gate and then took a taxi just as mom had instructed me.

Am still unfamiliar with the route,So I have to rely on the taxi.

I made him stop a few yards away from Jupiter High and i got out of it.

I walked the rest of the way to the school entrance.

I was amazed as to how beautiful and big it was.

Students were getting out of their cars or their chauffeur driven car and I stared at them all.

Would I have to go through the same thing again,I thought as I walked further in.

Unknown to me I didn't know that the way I looked in the uniform was getting a lot of attention from the other students.

I could hear them murmuring and I thought that it was some thing bad but then their little whisperings began to drift into my ears

"My God who is she?"

"She looks so gorgeous"

"Is she a new student?"

"So very pretty"

On hearing this I stared at them and wondered if it's me that they were talking about or some one else.

But then it was me,They were starring at me and saying nice things about me.

Will Jupiter high make a difference for me,Will I be well treated here,I thought as I gave any one I looked at a smile.

Yes,Jupiter high will certainly make a difference for me,I thought as I head to the teachers office
