Bianca

Chapter 13

Bianca

Bianca muttered a curse beneath her breath. Dammit, she should have never agreed to tutor Zayn after all the royals have put her through.

Her first confrontation in school was with Zayn and it didn't end well and now she was going to be his tutor, this too might not end well.

She swiped her keycard across the door knob and made her way into the room. The lights were turned off and the tap was running.

"Amelia are you in the bathroom?" She turned on the lights and took tired steps to her part of the room which was looking so dysfunctional since she had hurried out of the room this morning without cleaning up.

"Amelia!" Bianca yelled but all she got was deafening silence. Her heart thudded in her chest as she went closer to the bathroom to knock on the door. "Are you there?"

Several thought flew across her mind at that point. Did someone break into the room or was Amelia so immersed in her bath time that she didn't hear her name being called out.

Taking bold steps, Bianca pushed the door open and what left her mouth next was a shocking scream. Amelia's was in the bathtub, pills were scattered on the floor and the tap was overflowing.

Bianca rushed to turn off the tap and she dragged Amelia out of the bathtub. She pumped her chest severally to get the water out of her system but there was no response.

"Oh my God! What am I going to do?" She cried as she dialled the first number on her phone log without checking who it was. "Help me..my room."

"What? Are you okay newbie?"

"Help.." she coughed as she threw her phone on the floor and rushed back to Amelia's side to revive her breathing.

The door of the room opened some minutes later and the room was swarming with medical personnels. They put Amelia on a stroller and performed CPR on her and she coughed out some water.

"We'll take her to the school clinic. Thank you for calling us." The head doctor rushed out of the room as the other nurses pushed the stroller out of the hostel and into the van.

"I have to go with them."

Zayn held her back and stared at her like she had grown two heads. "Do you know what time it is? And you do not have a permit to leave the hostel."

"This is an emergency Zayn!"

"Not your emergency." He chuckled.

"Well aren't you such a good student." She hissed as she started waking to the school clinic.

"Excuse me?" Zayn frowned.

"You came into the girls hostel." She folded her arms over her chest.

"It was an emergency! Okay what would you have me do, break more rules?"

She turned to him with a tired sigh leaving her lips. "Zayn that's my roommate. I need to know she's okay." She held his gaze. "Please."

"Come on, we are almost there anyways." He placed his hands in his pockets and walked so fast that she had to jog to keep up with him.

"How do you know so many blind spots?" Bianca looked around in surprise. They had made it into the clinic with no camera in sight. Zayn typed on his phone and she shrugged her shoulders. He could ignore her if he wanted, after all she dragged him into this mess.

"I know everything about this school." He answered and a small smile made it's way to her face.

A nurse came into the room they were hiding in and released a long sigh.

"How is she?" He asked and she nodded her head.

"She's stable. The doctor said she overdosed on sleeping pills."

"So you're saying she.." Bianca covered her mouth in shock.

"Yes, she tried to kill herself. She's sleeping now but I know the panel is going to ask her a lot of questions when she wakes up."

"Thank you nurse.." Zayn drawled and she smiled cheekily at him.

"It's Edna. Call me Edna."

"Yeah whatever. Mr Trent will send you a package."

"If you need anything feel free to call me. And I mean it, anything at all and I'm at your service." She rubbed Zayn's arm and Bianca snorted.

The nurse walked out of the room and beckoned on Zayn to come out. We walked out of the room with our heads bowed. If anyone noticed we were here, we were going to be punished.

Zayn gasped and pushed Bianca into another hallway. His perfume scent hit her nostrils as he pressed her against the wall. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out.

A certain wave of emotions enfolded her heart and before she had time to register whatever it was that she was feeling, he dragged her out of the clinic.

"The principal was so close to catching us just now." He placed his hands on his knees as he let out a tired groan. "I'm so hungry. Are you hungry?" He pulled out his phone. "I'm going to order us some food. What do you want?" He looked at Bianca but her mind was going through a whirlwind of emotions.

"Earth to Bianca!" He waved his hands across her face and she chuckled drily. If she wasn't brown skinned, her cheeks would have turned crimson red by now. "Never mind, I already ordered and the delivery guy should be waiting in front of your hostel before we get there."

He walked briskly, as he typed on his phone. Bianca stared at his broad shoulders. No doubt that Zayn was attractive but she knew better than to fall for a guy like him. Everything about him screamed trouble. His sister was a complete villain, his friends were typical bad boys and his family was mysterious.

Earlier this week she had read that they lived in one of the biggest houses in Los Angeles. Their house was nicknamed dark castle because if the gothic and royal detailing that it was built and designed with.

"Oh there he is." Zayn laughed.

"Who?"

"The delivery guy. I am starving!"

"I thought we said no more sneaking out at night." A man who looked too built to be a delivery guy rubbed the creases on his forehead with a frown marred on his face.

"Calm down old man! A damsel in distress was lurking around in the dark so I had to go rescue her." Zayn mock-bowed and i stared at both men. They looked like they had a very close relationship.

"You must be Bianca." He held out his hand and Bianca looked at Zayn for help.

"You look like a scared puppy right now." He laughed.

Bianca rolled her eyes and shook Mr Trent's hand. "I'm so sorry but it was an emergency and I forced him to go with me."

"Yeah, right." Zayn snorted.

"I'm Mr Trent. Zayn's bodyguard and delivery guy." He rolled his eyes at the last part and I chuckled. "I'll escort you to the door, I'm sure you know the security already closed the doors a long time ago."

"Oh my God!" She gasped.

"I'll tell them to open the doors. Don't worry too much." He passed Zayn's bag of food to him and wagged his fingers threateningly. "Don't send me out to get food for you by this again."

Zayn winked. "Bye newbie, see you later."

He walked off and she stared longingly at him.

"Don't worry about him. The security guards would open the door for him willingly." Mr Trent laughed as they made their way to her hostel.

If only he knew she wasn't worried about that. She was worried about the emotions that Zayn had awakened in her.
