So Close To Being In Love | Completed √

Chapter 29

Amelia's p.o.v;

At cafeteria,

"What do you want to discuss with me?" While stirring her smoothie, Cathy questioned me.

"I need a favour from you. And, only you can do this."

"What kind of help can only be done by me?"

"This is a fairly classified mission."

She broke out into laughter and said, "Why do you sound like we're going to murder someone?"

"Andrew should not be aware of this. Anna included too. Although you and Anna are close, you should keep this out of her."

"You sound serious. And, why shouldn't Andrew and Anna be excluded? Did this relate to them?"

"Yup! It's comparable like that but not entirely."

"You're confusing me but It's exciting for some reasons I can't explain. What do you want me to do now, then?"

"You need to understand this assignment in order to complete it honestly, otherwise I can't offer it to you."

"Seriously, Are we going to murder someone?" she muttered as she drew closer to me.

"No! Murdering someone is not that easy, we need more experience… Urgh! Why are we even talking about that? Listen to what I have to say. Please respond to this query first. Are you aware that Anna is dating someone?"

She took a taste of the smoothie and nodded.

"Do you know that person?"

She remarked while shaking her head, "She didn't tell me yet. She said that she will tell me when it's the right time. Why? "

"Then forgive me for what I'm about to do. I'll now reveal the person she is in love with. It's my brother, Ashton Scott."

"Really? Now I see why she hid it from me. Why are we discussing Anna now?"

"When I tell you this, you'll understand it. You already know that my parents and Andrew's parents are rivals, therefore no matter what, they won't accept my brother's love. However, I won't leave it that way. I'm going to solve the problem between our parents and make my brother get his girl. Every conflict has a justification, right? There wasn't a single pointless argument, therefore my parents' conflict must also have a cause."

I presented her with the photo of my mother and Anna taken in high school.

After taking the picture, she remarked, "Yeah, I've already seen this. What do you want me to see here?"

"This is Andrew's mom, Laura Beckett as you said. The girl next to her was my mum, Caroline Scott," I added, pointing at the photograph.

"They studied together?"

I remarked, nodding, "Yup! I picked this out of our storage closet, along with mom's school-related pictures. They are classmates based on how closely they are standing next to one another. Now, Check out this thing. I handed her my phone, which had a picture of my father with the winning trophy."

"They're all wearing the same uniform."

"My mom, Andrew's mom, and my dad, Jeffrey Cooper, all attended the same school but they never mentioned that they went to the same institution as us."

"Why does it seem so challenging?"

"A teacher at their school told me a story about my parents during class that will only complicate things for you if you hear it."

"All ears," she says.

I related to her the tale of Andrew's mother, my mother, and my father.

"From the information I gathered, I guess it's some love rival."
