Chapter 18

I left the hospital after the boy's parents had arrived and returned back to the flat.

I had thought of giving the boy a visit but thought against it after realising that the boy barely knew me and it would be kinda embarrassing for him. What all mattered was that he was now in the hospital and safer.

Arriving at the school gate I was immediately questioned by Zaden about what had led to my wired call last night.

"Is the boy alright" he asked after I had finished explaining as we entered our register class.

"I'm not sure really... but he's alive" I finished as we sat down. Easton entered the class soon after my eyes lingered on him for a while wondering if he knew how the boy was doing since after dropping me of Boss Dai returned back to the office.

"What about you?" my eyes darted back to Zaden.

"What..." I asked a bit confused.

Rolling his eyes he said again "Nothing happened to you right you're okay" he said in a montone voice as he took out his phone to play games.

A smile made its way to my face "Are you worried about me Zade" I honestly felt touched.

He scoffed before saying"Of course I am whose gonna annoy me when you're gone, and why'd you call me Zade?"

"What you don't like it?"

"No it's-"

"Then I see no issue" I cut him him.

"Why do I even bother" he murmured as he returned back to his game.

After register I went to business studies which was the first lesson for today and set down. The teacher began giving us classwork after classwork based on what she taught us yesterday.

My hands began to cramp at the amount of work but nevertheless I continued on because I knew it would benefit me at the end of the day.

"Austin why aren't you doing your work?" the teacher said as she made her way to an arm folded Austin. His dyed blonde hair still on full display.

"Why should I?" he returned a few students shaking their heads, others ignoring him and doing their work and some like me paid attention to the drama.

Wasn't he the boy Zade told me to watch out for not forgetting the history he has with this guy.

"Because it will help you in the end game, and being 'cool' won't get you anywhere but on the streets" she finished standing in front of him as the whole class snickered in silence.

"Tch listen lady just do your job and I'll do mine or you won't have a job at the end of the day" he shrugged as he took out his cellphone. My eyes rose in interest at his words.

'Did his parents own the school or something' I internally thought.

The teacher paused before signing "If what I say becomes a reality don't say I didn't warn you" after saying that she returned to her desk as she began to sort out some paperwork.

Another Belinda I see... weren't they cousins no wonder. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Realising that someone had been staring for far too long Austin's eyes made eye contact with mine and sent me a sneer, yep definitely cousins.

Belinda and Austin's look was both similar it was charming with an addition of girl/boy next vibe the only difference was that Belinda wants to be an actress and Austin a business man. But I don't think that's true based on his behaviour.

Getting back to work I continued on with my class work.
