Perfect (On Hold)

Chapter 9

Ember's pov:

I was helpless at that moment. I cannot afford to get suspended and being thrown from the team is much more heartbreaking especially when I gave up everything for my dreams. All I did was at that time....

< Flashbacks....>

"Miss Courtney I was studying on this laptop here have a look" as I was handing the laptop to her. I dropped it on the floor. "oops!" and then hit the table so hard that Wayne's bottle of water fell off the table on the laptop and it became completely wet. She sent me death glares and just then Prof. Walter entered the library.

He looked at me and then Alex and said "oh if Alex and ember are in one place no doubt there is something going wrong. I can say with so much experience you cheap creatures"

I hung my head low

The librarian explains the whole scenario as I stand there with my head down. Prof. Walter looks at me and says
"ember! Meet me in the office. You have damaged the college property and according to the rules you will get the punishment"

As soon as those words are uttered, my eyes become blurry due to the tears forming in my eyes. I silently walk to the office and see the principal along with prof. Walter. The principal speaks up "I saw it, the cameras are the proof, so according to the rules you will be suspended for a whole week" I am about to open my mouth but prof. Walter stops me and says "You are irresponsible ember. You don't care for any one, atleast open your eyes and see what you are doing. *he yells* Next week we have the health care camp and you are suspended wow!fantastically drastic. You are important to the team and look at you now. I think we need to someone who is responsible enough to help assist the team and I dont think you will be one" tears well up in my eyes as I stand there speech less.

<end of flashback>

I sit down in my dorm and start crying. I keep getting flashbacks of the days I spent here and I can't seem to control my emotions. Just then Lauren enters the room and sees me crying she comes and hugs me tight "I'm so sorry em, I wish I could help you" I snuggle up to her as she says some soothing words that we end up falling asleep then as there.

*Alex pov*

Yesss!! This is the end to her. No longer will I get worried by her and I can live in peace. I walk to my dorm and lie on my bed and hear balls of victory ringing in my brain.
As I keep thinking about my happy days in the future, Wayne walks in and with anger in his eyes he says "th-this is not funny Alex! How could you?"
If he's trying to fight me I think with his pretty nerdy attitude and loveliness towards ember he's doing a pretty 'awesome' job.

"Oh" is all I say and ignore him and go to take my most awaited happy shower

*Wayne's pov*

No, ember can't leave. And Alex I will make sure he rots in his own guilt. I pull my phone out of my backpack and call ember.

After 3 rings she picks up and I hear her sniffing. That means she is crying. I feel so sad for her.

"H-hello?" She says into the phone. Her soft, tender words slip out making me get those tinglies. "Hi em! I'm sorry about earlier I wish I could help you" I say. "N-no *sniff* it's okay don't be sorry. Don't worry about me I will try to talk it out with the principal again" I can't see her so hurt. I need to help her. I hang up by saying 'bye'

I immediately run to the library and pull out the 'Computer hacks for techno savys" book and go through it. I get the laptop that was spoiled and try to revive it. After a few tries. The computer opens with a 'ding' sound and the laptop is restored to its normal state. Yessss!!!!!
If I go give this to em, she can show it to them and say she did it and then no suspension. Yasss!! You go wayne! I congratulate myself.

I take the laptop and text Em to come to the cafeteria. After a while she appears and I see her face all red because of the crying. But still she looks beautiful as ever.

" Ember I repaired the laptop and it is completely normal now. All you have to do is show it to the principal and say that you have repaired it. That way you can not get suspended" I smile at her but she rejects my help
"that is so nice of you Wayne but I can't do this. You did it and I take credit for it. It's not right"

I assure her "it's totally fine,.this is the least I can do for you. I just want you to stay and achieve what you want"

But she again rejects "please Wayne if I do this I will feel very guilty than what I'm already feel--" i shut her off by saying "it's alright, I am very glad to help, no need to feel guilty. Please do it" Finally she gives in takes the laptop.

Then the unexpected happens.....
.

She kisses my cheek *fireworkssssss!!!!!*
and hugs me * bom!bom! * Those weird tingles go crazy in my body. I shakily embrace her and stand in silence, smiling to myself

*embers pov*

I'm so grateful to Wayne. He's such a sweetheart. Though I rejected him for the fear of feeling guilty, he still convinced me. I'm lucky and sure I have a thing for him. A special one *smiles* a very special friendship no one can break

(A/N : so sorry she thinks of him as a friend haha. Kept your hopes high I see. Don't loose hope we have a lot to go. Things "might" change)

I kiss his cheek and hug him before I even realise what am I doing. But I think he deserves it. I thank him once again and go to my dorm.

*Room no. 303*
I quickly change into my pajama shorts and jump into bed with my laptop. I open the site where I've been trying to track the number and type in 'unknown27' Unfortunately it shows error. Error. Error.

Dang! Ughhh!!.....what kind of a number is this. I give up on it as I get distracted in watching my favorite movie 'the notebook' This movie makes me happy and also sad.

I get engrossed into it when suddenly my phone notifies me that I have a new message. I quickly open it and see the text :

"Oh I see you got suspended. How sad? :((( the grass is not always greener on the other side, princess"

To hell with this......who the heck is this and what are they talking about?!?! Surely they love to mess with me.

Its from the same 'unknown27' What do I do?
I need to take someones help. Lauren.
No bad idea she will read the text from earlier and she will kill me.
Wayne.
But if he comes to know about the kiss there is a possibility he will think bad of me
Alex.
No that duffer no. He is no longer a person I wanna even think about.
Fine
Ember.
Yes, I will do it by myself

I shut the laptop and lie my head on my minion pillow. Yes I love minions. I've been obssessed with it since the beginning of time haha.....well! Anyways! Thinking about the 'unknown27' it seems related to Alex because that 'whoever' came to know about the kiss might know Alex or else how will they know his name right?!

Mmm.....I'm sick of this. Tomorrow I need to do a big job and then I need to track this person. And of course stay away from alex.

I slidee off to sleep with so much hurt in my chest that never seems to leave....
