Ava POV

"Pass me that paint." I ordered Lucas who obeyed like a obedient dog handing me the bucket immediately.

Well, yes! I agreed on helping him with this room but in return of something. Like I am not a dumb to help him without getting anything.

And the thing I asked was to cancel the deal we made.

I'm not a bodyguard here to protect his plump ass from the jocks nor his friend to help him out of any situation.

And as I knew, he agreed. Because who would like to stay in a room of shits.
Noone.

It has been 2 days that we both are just cleaning the room and today I decided to paint it.

I picked the roller, rolling the paint over the dirty wall while Lucas was painting the other wall.

I painted the wall real quick as I had done it before too. I glanced back at Lucas and he hadn't even painted the half of the wall.

Such a dumb!!

He wasn't even holding the brush, the way we do. He always had his own physics on while he did something.

I defeatingly, went over him handing him the brush properly instructing him to do it properly.

As he began doing so, I went out to throw the trash away.

We were having dinner in my room all quietly as we both were tired as hell.

Suddenly my phone rang and I glanced at the number displayed on the screen.

"It's Michael." I told Lucas and he instantly picked up the phone.

"Hey!"

"Oh thanks."

"Yes everything is alright now."

"It's ok Michael. I'm fine. She helped me."

"It's almost done so it's alright. She would be enraged if she got to know."

"I'll manage that. I'll see you later sometime."

He talked and cut the call giving me my phone back.

"I've got the recharge done on my phone. Thank you for letting me use your phone. You turned the only friend helping me here in this condition."

He smiled and I nodded.

"Well, your mom is a real savage to throw you away with no balance." I said taking another bite of my food.

A genuine smile cracked upon his lips as he nodded.

"Yeah. She's cool. Just as you."

Ok so.... He just told me that he thinks that I'm cool, I am as like his mom...

I'm not shocked or flattered.

After he was done with food, he did dishes while I got ready for my job.

"Come back safe." He smiled handing me my bag. I maintained that cold look on my face, nodding and left.

Lucas POV

As she left the room, I plopped myself on the bed sighing heavily as I was tired of the chores I did all day and the work she was making me do.
