Lily was waiting patiently for geometry class to be over, the teacher was just talking about things she didn't want to know, Everyone didn't seem to pay attention but Sylvia did, she was sitting next to her and had paid full attention, she was even jotting down notes, lily massaged her temples and when she heard the bell, she was beyond happy, nothing can surpass the happiness of a student when a boring subject period is over she thought as she gathered her things.
"Where is Jane?" Sylvia asked
"She went to the ladies an hour ago"
Sylvia laughed and took her books " come on lets go we're having chemistry"
Lily groaned as Sylvia pulled her along
During chemistry class Jane rushed in and sat beside lily, luckily the chemistry teacher did not see her as he was writing on the board.
"Where have you been?" Sylvia whispered
"The ladies" she answered absent mindedly as she brought out her note and started writing, " guess what?, Claire has a huge crush on Jack"
"Who cares?"Claire was her enemy she has a sassy attitude and she did not want to hear anything that has to do with her
"I do, tell me more" lily leaned in closer
"I overhead her when she was talking about it in the ladies?"
"What exactly did you do in the ladies?"
"what do people do in the ladies Sylvia? " lily asked annoyed
"Okay class the teacher turned around, you will be having a project two paired partners" he announced breaking the conversation between the two girls.
Every girl looked at Jack at the other end of the classroom who was sitting with his normal companions Leo, Ryan, Ace and Haze.
" I want you all to write your names on a sheet of paper and put it in this bowl, the teacher brought out a glass bowl from under the desk which perplexed the students "does he always have that there?" They all thought has they all tore out a sheet of paper and started scribbling down their names.
"Do you know what all the girls are thinking right now?" Sylvia asked as she wrote down her name.
"What?"
"Oh God let me be paired up with Jack Brooke" she said in disdain only Lily laughed, Jane just smiled.
After they all submitted their names the teacher stood in front of the bowl, " your partners can not be changed, so whoever you're paired with is who you're working with, so it all depends on your luck"
"Luckily for me I have great luck" lily boasted.
"Gavin and Jacob" the teacher called out and both of the students called smiled at each other
"Stephanie and Caleb" and the procedure continuedSylvia watched as all the other girls crossed their hands and she rolled her eyes but her attention was court off when she heard her name.
"Sylvia and ....." Anticipation built in Sylvia for no good reason and when she heard the name of who it was that the teacher had paired her with, it was as if her world had been put on a pause.
******
"Can you believe this guy, making us put our names in a jug, can't he just pick randomly" Leo said as he played with his pencil.
"It's intensive this way" Jack replied not taking his eyes off the teacher.
"Stephanie and Caleb" the teacher continued but Jack wasn't listening he had bigger issues to worry about than the project, being the heir of a well known business tycoon was no where near easy, the pressure and then the press, he was going to take up the business soon and it won't be easy.
"Sylvia and ....." His attention was dragged back when he heard her name the next word that came out of the teacher's mind wasn't something he thought would ever happened.
"......Jack, Sylvia and Jack!" The teacher said again as if reassuring himself " This is quite interesting both are top student of the school"
Sylvia and Jack looked at each other mirroring the expression on her face, ' what the heck?' Was what came to Jack's mind, all the student looked at both of them as if the end of the world had finally came and a fight was about to break out between God and the devil.
*back to third person*
After the bell was rung, everyone went to meet their partners except from Sylvia and Jack, Lily had been paired up with Ace, she had a crush on Ace, the school second bad boy, he didn't necessarily act like a bad boy he wascalm, genuine and has a boyish charm every girl seems to fall for, Lily was right she was lucky.
Jane was paired up with Sam. It was only Jack and Sylvia that was left in the lab, she looked over to him he sat as it he was lifeless not moving a single muscle, looking at him Sylvia remembered the first day she had saw him it was the first day she had came to school and the first day she decided not to have any relationship of any sought with Jack Brooke.*flashback*
There was commotion in the hallway and everyone gathered, Sylvia and lily being transfer student just followed blindly. There at the school hallway was a girl who was tossed on the floor by a guy cried in the most heartfelt way "I love you Jack!" she shouted and the guy who was supposedly Jack chuckled and bent to face her, " but I told you I don't fall for back stabbers" he said dryly
"I am sorry, I am so so sorry" she knelt down and started begging
"Sorry won't fix anything Jessy" he stood up frustrated
"What do I do then?" She sobbed bitterly
He bent down and pinched her cheek, " you love me?" he said meekly "and you will do anything for me?" She nodded in response."Then....." He brought out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it over to her while she unfolded it,
"....Get your father to sign it" her eyes widened and fresh tears fell down her cheeks.
Sylvia knew what the paper was ,it was a contract to hand over his company.
"Tell him even though he doesn't sign it I will take the company from him myself" he stood up and started walking away when he was about to pass Sylvia he couldn't believe she had the guts to do what she did, she obstructed him.
"You can't do that to her"
"Excuse me?"
"You can't play on her feelings like that"
"And who are you to tell me what to do?" When he got no response he shoved her roughly away from his path.
"Mind your business newbie and don't get on my nerves"
*end of flashback*
But getting on his nerves is what she had always been doing and now she as paired with him for a project, oh what a rotten luck.
