Norah's P.O.V

I rushed towards them "Mama, what happened, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

I spit out in a breath. As for the answer for all the questions she tilted her head to one corner and I could see Charles sitting on a chair with a smirked face.

"Oh, Your Highness Norah, as a queen of education you just can't forget the date for the payment" he spoke dramatically.

"I just don't care about your stupid day care or that damn waitress job or whatever, I just wanna get my rent on time" he raised his brow "Dates are floating baby" and now with a Flirtating tone.

I should talk something, I need to do something before mama become totally torn out.

"Sorry Charles we couldn't reach up-to and..... and I'll assure you we will pay you in a month. Please..." I look like shattered but my voice was stern to the situation.

"In a month?" he rubbed his nose.

"Please, I will assure that we will payback all the debts of rent. Please... " I asked hopefully.

"OK, then fine" I sighed in relief. Thank god.

"But one condition" he walked towards me.

He continued "You princess.... If you are delayed for that, I'll took advantage of your beauty" he bit his lips.

"Oh my god..... please, leave my child " Mama started crying with both hands folding together as begging like hell. I wanna show up some courage now.

I wrapped my arm around mama holding closer and said "OK, I'm cent sure I'll payback your rent WITHIN A MONTH"

I can hear my voice as an echo, because of the sharpness.

"Good" Charles and get off from the house.

"Are you sure about it Norah?" Mama cupped her hand on my face.

I could see her teary eyes and wet cheek, her fear is clear in her eyes.

"You know Charles, I don't think this would end in a good way, I can't take a risk your life.... We can stop this journey, let's move to somewhere" She again started crying.

"But where? it's not easy to start over again and I'm sure about this. I'll be able to pay the rent mama, don't worry, I and Eva is planning out some programmes in cafe, so don't worry" I assured her.

We cleaned the mess made by Charles in home. Tris is in a calm sleep. I don't even know what to do, my intention is to make mama assure that I'll sort out some thing for this.

I took an appointment with my brain and immersed myself in a deep thought of getting some miracles as writers are still for their stories.

Why is my phone crying? I saw the message from college group. Argh..... Notice of dance competition,

Yes, DANCE COMPETITION!

Let's give it a try. At least making up for my family. Sorting out something I gone for a dead sleep.

"Norah are you coming or what, that muddle headed Johny will be pissed off" Eva shouted.

Ouff. Weekends are just a day for us making deliveries and those bullshit. We headed to our cafe .

I took my orders and headed to 'Whimpis Nagar' for the delivery.

OMG! Is this a house or a Palace? It's so huge that I can start a daycare plus school on the ground floor itself.

Ooho... that's why there is a bunch of parcels. I delivered the food and returned with 2 big plastic bags with the remaining boxes after leftover. That disgust.

I think I am too short for this thing, holding up this is not easy to walk. I ran from there and of course I hit on a wall and fell down.

All the waste spread over there as spring kissed the floor. As I was about to stand I noticed the shoes in front.

Is this the owner? Did I destroyed the place? Congrats Norah bad luck hits on you in every match.

"I'm so sorry for the mess, actu....." I stopped when my eyes land on a boy with a hat.

Is this boy the owner of this? He is too young for it.

"Hey, don't stare like that, maybe I have to find a way to fix your eyes from the ground" he said with a laugh. Ugh.. The worst.

"Hmm.. No, it's like, I'm wondering is this tiny bit the owner of the whole of it?" I pointed to place.

"Hey no, no it's not my house. You're Norah, right?"

"Wait, how do you know my name?" Am I so famous?

"You are a quite famous, you know?" Did he just read my mind? Did Eva post my frog dance on instagram? Oh god it's mocking me.

"Don't be so confused, it's just the battle with the most bitchy girl aka Tia." There comes the answer.

"So, are we both in the same college? I asked.

"Of course" he smiled.

"So you are an empowered girl doing all such jobs and rising yourself?" he looked me while picking the plastic bags.

"Sort of" I smiled back.

"And what about you?" I questioned

"You want an info? OK fine. I'm Ian Isaac, studying at the same college of yours."

"Cool, are you doing any suspicious things over here?"

"No, I'm just staying the next house, just heading for a walk."

"OK then and thanks for your kind help."

"No mention" I gave a bye and walk past him.

"Hey warrior! Too busy for a coffee ?" Ian shouted from back. God, I love this kids voice.

"Until you promise, it's on you" I said teasingly

"Very well." He chuckled. We went to a coffee shop near. A man, who looked so tall approaches Ian and they exchange a bro hug.

"Hey, what's up bro?" he asked

"Nothing just a walk"

"With a Beauty ?" he teased Ian. I felt a little embarrassed

"No, she is my friend at the class, Norah. and Norah this is my friend Jack. The owner of this castle." we exchanged a smile.

Ian guided me to a corner seat as a father guiding his little boy who argued to walk alone.

"What do you want?" Ian give me the menu for my choice. "Anything" I said in an uncomfortable zone. "Why?"

"Actually as I owe you one for helping me with my plastic bag, I can't put you down. I'm not hungry though."

"Hey it's not a big deal. I think umm.... OK coffee?" he asked while putting the menu aside. I smiled acceptably.

I feel comfortable towards him. OK, I choose him to my friend, as he get a rarest opportunity that he would ever have. We chit-chatted for sometime and headed back.

"Hey, you look like a sad minion" Eva pointed.

"A bit, you know yesterday Charles appear with an evil look."

"Did he do anything? Gosh!"

"I promised him I'll give the money within a month, otherwise.... "

"Otherwise?"

"I'll no more be a virgin!" Eva gasped hearing that. "What are we gonna do now?" Eva said in a tired voice.

"What about the dance competition ?" "Sounds great" she kissed me.

Why is this girl like this?

After a quick fresh up Darren texted me. I didn't dared to say about Charles. Maybe he'll be boneless fellow and poor Darren, I want to meet him in jail. I avoided further battle. The next day flood by.

Weekends are over. I need to focus on money making

'DANCE COMPETITION'.
