Chapter 3: You are rude
Mia
Today seems bright, I hope it's a good day today. I just kissed my mother goodbye now and I'm heading to school.
"What the…." I yelled when a black Bentley car just passed by and splashed dirty water all over me.
The driver didn't care to stop. I had to go back home and change. I guess I'll be late for lectures again today….. right!! I sighed in frustration.
"Honey, what happened to you?" my mother asked immediately after she saw me
"A stupid driver I think" I said in anger
"Hurry up get changed if not, you'll be late for school" my mum said to me
I went back to my room to change my clothes.
I was practically rushing for my lectures again. I just hope no one bumps into me again today.
"Urghh!What did I do to deserve this?" I say when I bump into someone just before I step foot in the corridor. Could today get any worse? The moment you pray against something, the reverse happens.
"Are you blind young girl?" he asked me.
God, he is so fine. He is dressed in a fine tuxedo like it was tailored just for him and no one else. His hair was clean and he had these grey eyes that almost got me enchanted only that his eyes held no emotions in them. They held a cold demeanor instead. His lips looked soft. Wait, is he a god?
I snapped out of my dream world to focus on the matter at hand, he just spoke to me with no respect besides I had a boyfriend.
"If I'm blind, then so are you. We just bumped into each other" I fired back
"Children these days have no respect anymore" he said to me
I couldn't explain why I felt so annoyed that he called me a child.
"Apologise to him girl" someone said from the other direction. What is wrong with everyone bumping into me and telling me to be the one to apologize, what is wrong with everyone in this city? I was so pissed.
I turned my head to look in the direction where the voice came from only to find someone leaning on the car.
I gasped, not because of the person but the car. This was the same car.The same black Bentley that made me come to school late this morning.
"You splashed water on me just a while ago with this car and, you didn't even bother to stop and apologize. Don't you think you owe me an apology" I said to him crossing my arms on my chest
He smiled. somewhat a wicked smile like he was telling me I was in trouble.
"You are rude" he said to me then he adjusted his tie and dusted on his suit like I poured something dirty on him and then he attempted to leave.
"You are arrogant as well sir. You can't take even a little responsibility for your wrongdoings" I said to him, I was angry.
He shook his head with a straight face and left me there.
I turned to the driver leaning against the car.
"You must have been the one driving, didn't you see me?" I asked him
"Go to class little girl, you are messing with something bigger than you" he smiled at me
I stumped my feet and went straight to class.
I arrived in class and was looking for where to sit.
"Mia, over here" someone raised a hand and waved at me, it was the guy I met in the last class.
I walked in his direction.
"Here, I reserved a seat for you" he told me
"Thank you, you didn't have to" I tried to be polite
"Well I already did and you are here" he smiled at me
"Thanks again" I said
"It seems the teacher will be late today" I tried starting a conversation
" It looks like it" he said
"Nice trousers" he said
"Thank you" I smiled at him
"How old are you?" he asked me
I chuckled before answering his question "Is it that obvious that I'm kind of old" I asked him
"No, no, I just wanted to know. I don't even know why I asked such a stupid question. I'm sorry" he apologized
"It's fine Henry" I told him
Most of the students in my class are younger. Don't get me wrong, not like I am a granny but most of them are teenagers. They should be in their seventeens, eighteens, and nineteen while I am twenty-two years old.
"Just in case you want to know, I'm 22" I told him. I'm usually not this cool with everyone but Henry kept a seat for me.
Looks like Henry and I are going to be good friends.
"Cool, I'm 19 Mia" he added
"Cool" I replied
"You got any friends here?" Henry asked me
"Just one, my bestie. I'll introduce her to you later during the break, that's if you don't mind" I suggested
"It's cool Mia, I don't mind. I'd love to meet her" he said
"What about you, have any friends here?" I returned the question he asked me
"Nope, some classmates from high school but no friends" he explained
"That's cool too" I said
"Can we be friends?" Henry said, stretching his hand towards me. I thought we were already friends(lol), looks like Henry wants the friend label.
"Why?" I asked him.
He retracted his hand and scratched his head like he was looking for an answer. I think he looks cute when he is confused.
"Calm down I'm just messing with you, it feels good to tease you" I chuckled
I stretched my hand forward "We can be friends, Henry" I said.
Henry smiled at me.
"Move over" some girl said to Henry. I turned to see who it was that talked with such disrespect. I agree she's so sophisticated, too much jewelry on her; a very short skirt and crop top, fancy boots, and her lipstick is a little too red for my liking, why does she chew gum like that?
"Why should he?" I asked her
"It's ok Mia, I'll just come over to your right" he said
"Henry, don't you dare move a muscle" I warned him
"Who are you and why do think you can just boss people around" I asked her
"This seat belongs to me, everyone knows that" She glared at me and I just laughed
"I don't see your name on it, did you make this particular seat? no body knows you sit here because I have no clue or do you know Henry?" I asked him but he didn't say anything
What is wrong with him? Does this girl have any dirt on him?
"See he knows, the war isn't yours to fight so stop sweating" she mocked me
"It's barely been up to three weeks since school started, how can you own a chair already till everyone knows it's yours" I cried. This is injustice. I cried but she just smiled and everyone just stared.
"Let it be Mia, I can sit over here" Henry tucked at my arm dragging me away
"Why should you allow yourself to be pushed over in that manner? she was wrong" I cried again in annoyance
"She's wrong and everyone knows that, but no one will say a thing" Henry told me
"And why is that" I asked
"Her name is Olivia and she's the queen here in just three weeks. She's a bully, she picks on students, her dad is very wealthy too, and she's terrible" Henry narrated
"She has it coming I swear" I said between gritted teeth.
"And you, don't let people trample on you, especially women. I thought you were a man, do you have a vagina somewhere that you should let me know" I said without any shame
"No Mia, how can you say such a thing" Henry laughed and I joined him
"I'm serious about what I said though, you need to man up" I told him
"I hear you, now stop sounding like my mum" he pouted
I was about to give him a response when the tutor came in.
"Guys sorry I'm late, reasons beyond my control" the tutor said
"For you to be successful in any career path, you need mentors, people who have been there before you. That said, I'd like you all to welcome a mentor, a boss at what he does, he's a very successful businessman and he's here to help you better understand business. You all welcome Logan Adams" the whole class cheered for him
When I raised my head to see the famous Logan Adams, I was dumbstruck.
He's the arrogant guy who splashed water on me earlier today. This man right here and Logan Adams are one person.
"Henry Henry, please pinch me" I begged Henry
"What, you look like you just saw a ghost" Henry observed me and said
"I would have preferred to see a ghost than him" I murmured
"Him? who's him?" Henry asked me
I just pointed to what I wanted to show him.
Logan Adams came in immediately after he was introduced
He came up and started talking, he spoke for about about 10 minutes
"Any questions?" he asked
No one answers.
Many students were eager to ask him questions. He made sure to answer several questions.
"I'll do the asking this time and I'll be choosing people at random to answer" he announced
When I tried looking at him again, our eyes met for a brief moment and he smiled at me. I knew I was in trouble because we weren't on good terms
"The lady in black, can you answer" he pointed towards me.
I don't even know what the question was, this was an intentional attack from him.
