As I was still grumbling about my bad luck I saw Aria practically laughing down her little bro's neck
The last time we did such. He made her lick the sweat off the mirrors of boys toilet..
"Pay back time.." She didnt need to speak for me to know what she was thinking and the perfect opportunity just presented it's self. He knew she wasn't making it easy for him at all
"Honestly Aiden I don't think there's any girl you're gonna choose within 1000 mile radius that won't settle with in palms at first glance." Nick was feeling overly confident.
"Your pride blinds you my friend, don't think am letting you walk with my money that easy."
"Oouuchh, Aiden is threatening someone, but I'm the one whose supposed to be scared... Wouldn't you agree Damian." He messed my hair as he emphasised his threats.
"I'm winning this." I couldn't change my chooser so I had to prep for any devious plans he had in store for me.
"Okay guys..." Jason called for our attention. "So I'll give you'll a weekend to choose for each other just to be sure you make accurate choices."
"Oh I don't need a weekend I already made my choice for Damian." Nick was rubbing his hands manically.
My expression spelled my thoughts in capital letters. As he continued.
"So since this all started with Kingston High. I'm thinking why not linger around there for a little while...," Nick reconnected his screen share and zoomed in the passed Prica to some blond girl on spects sited on bench reading a book far behind. The picture was nearly a blur but her bag was black with a huge bold shy monkey emoji on it.
"You must be bluffing..," I was more shocked than scared at that point.
"Nope am dead serious... that's what you get for ever doubting my skills."
"Alright... this is looking intriguing already, good luck Damian Gonzalez... You'll need it." Aiden said tapping my shoulder.
I stared back a Nick playfully rising his eye brows at me and then back at the screen.
The blonde girl in the screen, her nose was submerged deep in her novel, Oblivious to her surroundings.
Jasmine's POV
'The ability of one to weave the fabrics of reality to favor their intent has always captured my intellect,' I read smiling in silence when phone vibrated and broke my concentration.
"Aguh.., come on it was just getting to the good parts..."
I quickly looked through my bag the world around me coming to life once again regaining it's contrast. "I really hope it's Cherry. She should be back by now."
"Hey Auntie..., you know you don't have to check in on me all the time."
"Hai Jas,..." The voice from the other end of the phone was of a little girl.
"When are you coming home....? I really miss you...."
"Oh don't worry peaches I'll be back really soon...and I really miss you more. But aren't you meant to be in class right now...?"
"Yeah..., but..."
"Your hiding under the bed again aren't you." I knew her too well. She was only four but with outstanding smarts.
"Yes..."
"We talked about this... you can't attend classes even without me being there physically."
"I remember...," even without being there I could tell she was disappointed.
"I'll be home in a couple of weeks then will have an ice cream date together.., how does that sound."
"Sounds great!..." She answered with excitement. Drawing a smile to my face.
"Alright then can I talk to auntie Veronica please...,"
"Okay." She shouted from under the bed "Auntie Jasmine!.." She was so loud that it almost bust my ear drum. "Jasmine's on the phone en she wants to talk to you."
"Thank you very much Jasmine. I was looking for her for hours... I'll have her in the study as soon as possible..."
"You're very welcome..." I started parking my books in to my backpack. "I'll talk to you later auntie don't want to be late for class."
"Yeah but, before you go... Did you take your medicine?" At the back of my head I was hoping to avoid her inquiry.
"Yeah I did... I'll talk to you later auntie."
"Alright bye love you, Ja..." I hang up on her mid way. I zipped the bag and slung it swiftly over my shoulder and as it sat on my back I heard a loud breaking sound and a loud gasp quickly seconded it
'oh shit...' I thought to myself.
I turned slowly only to find Prisca Grayson standing with her jaw to the ground as she stared at her phone lying on its screen between the both of us.
'Double Shit.! I am standing in front of the princess of Kingston High.' I had made efforts despite my standing out to avoid crossing paths with her but with one swing they all went down the drain. "I am so sorry... I didn't mean to..."
She picked it from the ground and fragments of the glass fell off the screen. A notification came and the phone showed a whole rainbow running from the top to the bottom.
"I am really sorry."
She screamed dramatically, so loud that half the campus could hear. In a blink of an eye we were in the principals office. "I really didn't mean to Principal Jameson. It was an accident.
"I believe you so I'll let this slide "
Prisca cut the principal short."but she did this on purpose .... she was jealous of me... And why does she get a free pass for all of the bull shit does. Your a cheat!."
"Grayson! "The principal's cut through the room"Best mind tounge with in these walls "prisca crossed her arms and turned away with a sigh.
"Am sorry ma'am." But she still apologized.
"But she'll still be replacing your phone, you understand that don't you " I nodded honestly, it was my fault of course I won't mind paying for the damages after all Kingston phones weren't that expensive.
In school we all used a school research phone which was basically a library, thanks to the new school developments,that was all the phones were good for. Each phone could only accept study related stuff, phone calls to the outside world was impossible on them. Mine was an exception. For health reasons of course. Also because my aunt scared the shit out of everyone but her children.
"Grayson, are you fine with that?" The principal said staring at her broken phone " but I'm keeping this"
"What why?.." Prisca shot up
"Because you'll be getting a new phone, you know the rule right. The phones in this school are specially designed for research purposes only, meaning no calls can come in from the outside" she riased the phone like seeing through it" but recently many phones have been illegally hacked.. I'll start by checking yours"
"If I find that your phone was tinkered with.." the principal's voice dropped to a low menacing wishper, "..that would be a third strike Prisca and I've no choice but to expell you"
Prisca tried putting on brave face until the cracked phone vibrated repetitive, Prisca's face went pale as a ghost, her heart pounded so loudly that I could hear it from where I was sited.
'She was so screwed...' I thought to my self, but she shoot daggers through she could read my mind.'Wait a minute why is she staring...oh crap she's not letting this go easily."
...
Nick frowned "huh??why isn't she answering??"
