Reprisal [ 1D Vampire fanfic ] |ON HOLD

Chapter 5

Reclining her back on the plush pillows, Jacky kept her laptop on her belly, checking the emails if there was any from the university authorities. Despite few irrelevant mails there was nothing new. Disappointed she kept her laptop aside and layed on her back stretching her limbs. Only one thought kept running in her mind, somehow she wanted that scholarship. She needed to get to London to fulfil her motives. Maybe the odds will be in her favour and she might get the scholarship. A knock on the door snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Can I come in Jacky?, her mom asked.

"Of course mom. Come in", Jacky got up and sat on her bed crossing her legs. Her mom slightly pushed the door and made her way through the half opened door.

"Busy?"she asked, looking at the laptop kept beside her.

"Uh, no. Not really, was just checking out some mails. Thats it.", she answered. Lauren sat on the edge of the bed near Jacky.

"Honey..have you decided what you're going to do further since your school is over." Lauren asked.

"Mum. I'm yet to hear from the unis I applied for. Till then I can't go for any other option."

"So when are you supposed to hear from them?"

"Anytime this week.",Just as Jacky finished saying this a notification popped on her laptop. She glanced at the screen and noticed a new mail. She immediately picks up her lappy and place it on her thighs. She clicked on it and began to read it. Her eyes lit up and a smirk spread on her face. Her mom watched her with a confused look on her face. She looked up at her mom and said, "I got it."

"Got what?", Lauren asked.

"Admission to the ROYAL UNIVERSITY. I got a scholarship mom. I'm going to LONDON."She said stressing the last word.

"Thats great Jacky. I'm so happy for you. ", her mom smiled and pulled her into a hug trying to sound cheerful but she wasn't much sucessful in holding back her disappointment. Jacky noticed that but chose to ignore it as she didn't want to indulge in any arguement with her.

"When are you joining?" Lauren asked her.

Jacky peeped onto the mail again,"The mail says.....Ermm Monday. That means I have only 2 days for packing. Damn I need to get started today.", she apprehensively got up from her bed.

"I'll tell Tris to take you for shopping. You can buy everything you need.",her mom said.

"Mom..I can definitely go alone. If you haven't realised yet,I'm a GROWN UP."Jacky rolled her eyes.

"Of course I know you're a Grown up but you do need someone to pick up your shopping bags.", Lauren winked.

Jacky crossed her arms and stood straight, "Do you think I'm gonna buy what you say." She shot up her right eyebrow.

"No arguements Jacky. Tris will be going with you.",Lauren gave her final word pissing Jacky even more. She leaped toward the door to get out of the room.

"Jacky."her mom called.

"What?", she turned back.

"I hope you've talked to Liam about your uni admission.", she said.

Jacky suddenly realised she had not yet discussed with anything regarding her admission. "Ohh. Yea. I'e told him." She lied. She knew it very well that her mom will get mad at her and Liam...? She don't even know it yet how he will react

"Good. Anyways where is he planning to go?" She asked.

"He's overtaking his dad's business and will attend the business school side by side.", she said. Liam had told her all about his future plans regarding his studies, jobs and them. There was not a single thing that he've kept from her.

"He's one smart kid.", Lauren said.

"Yea he is.", Jacky tried to smile. She knew her family totally adored Liam. Well who won't? He's a perfect good-looking, intelligent, smart,soft-spoken and immensely rich boy. His family was one of the few highly respected human families. They had good links with the government that gained them even more respect and power over other humans. Jacky and Liam had grown up together and are said to be made for each other. Its been 4 years now that they've been officially together. Both their families approved their relationship. Their relationship held no secrets but one. Jacky never told him about her future plans and what ruled over her mind. Her relationship with Liam was at stake now. He'll be definetly pissed off when he get to know the truth.

"Congratulations my little sissy.", Tristan shouted as he walked in the room. Jacky was all readt to go out for shopping by then.

"You're late Tris."she looked at her watxh and then lifted her gaze to look at her brother.

"You know my job. There was hell lot of work to do today. My co-worker was at leave so I had to do his job too. I'm sorry.",he looked at her with puppy-eyes.

"Forgiveness not granted.",Jacky picked her purse and walked the car.  "Now get your lazy ass here before it gets too late." Her nostril flared with anger .

Seeing the blazing anger of his sister Tris rushed towards the driver seat and got it. He punched in the destination name - Silver Sterling Mall  and the automatically driven car started moving swiftly on the road.

In few minutes they reached the mall. Tris changed the auto driver to manual and carefully parked the car in the parking lot of the large mall. The entire walls of the mall were made up of shining crystal clear mirror like glass that even a small mark on your face would be clearly visible through it.

Jacky took a small device from her purse that displayed a list of necessary items she'd need while her stay in the dorms. She was busy figuring out about her stuff when Tris noticed a group of girls entering a small cafe at one corner. One of them caught his eye and she too quickly glanced at the handsome green eyed boy with messy brown hairs. Knowing that she's looking at him he winked at her making her blush. Jacky's eyes were stuck at the device.

"Tris..I think we must go to the first floor first. I need some to..." before she could end her sentence she noticed that Tris wasn't paying any attention to her words."Tris." She said again.

"UH..Jacky. you go get your stuffs. I've some important work." He replied and without taking his eyes off that girl who was now sitting inside the cafe near the glass window. She was continuously  smiling at Tris.

"Hello.. you're here to help me not to drool over some random chicks." Jacky said getting annoyed but her brother was already headed towards the direction where that girl was sitting.

"Duhhh.."she hissed under her breath and headed over to the elevator to go to first floor to fetch her things on her own.

*****

In an hour she was done with her shopping. Both her hands were carrying shopping bags. She was standing at one corner near the entrance of the mall. Her arms had started aching due to carrying lots of shopping bags. She was cursing her brother in her mind who had left her all alone to shop . From the glass pane of the door she saw her brother waving at a car. With a large grin spread on his face and his hands tucked in his jeans pockets, he walked back inside the mall and accidentally bumped into Jacky who was staring at him with a stern look on her face.

"So...", she said skeptically raising her eyebrows.

"She was easy.", he said and smirked. A chuckle left from Jacky's mouth that she tried to control by biting the inner side of her cheeks.

"Carry this."saying , she handed over all her shopping bags to Tristan. He stumbled a bit in handling her bags but managed to carry them to the car. He dropped all of them on the backseat of the car and both of them hopped in.

"Tris, drop me at Liam's. I need to talk to him."she said while tying her seat belt.

"Okay. Madam." Tristan said. "Next stop Payne's Mansion."
