Ms. Snob meets Mr. Intimidating

Chapter 6: Misunderstanding

Series of unfortunate events came tumbling down at me, its like the fate has turned their backs on me leaving me with nothing.

They say that a part of our normal life is to experience the pain.

I don't get it.

For me, it f*cking hurts.

For a year, I never entertained suitors, not because I haven't moved on but I just wanted my heart to rest from all the pain. Being alone in my room didn't help so I got to get out and live life.

I was forced to move on.

Aftermath of the Party left me with more realizations:

I'm so stupid to love an a**hole and dumb man like him.

I shouldn't have to force myself in that University

And, I shouldn't have to meet that WOMAN in the first place.

All of it sums up with how stupid I am.

=============================================================================

"Your project in advance programming will be by partners. I will be the one to assign who your partners are. Lets start with Sadoff, Pierce and Lawrence, Jacob...

..."Calvin, Donna and Hefner, KC"

KC and Donna? Seriously, does our professor wants a war? KC kinda LIKE Jace a lot, and Donna is the ex, what do you think will happen?

They stared with each other deeply, if only looks could kill.

"Kearfott, Cindy and Moehle, Johnson"

The Jock and the Queen Bee, nice pairing huh?

Johnson looked ecstatic while Cindy looked at him with a bored expression. Johnson just winked at her.

"Beaufort, John Martin and... Po-- Ah no, uhmm"

Ok, its now JM's turn. Our prefessor took a while to decide, maybe she's either looking for a stupid or better than him.

"Beaufort, John Martin and Carter, Katherine"

OMG! I was trying my best not to cross ways with him but what a fate!

I bit my lip and closed my eyes for a moment and looked where he was. He was busy talking again to Nicole. Maybe, he didn't mind to hear our names.

I was a bit relieved. I'm not yet ready to talk to him because of the incident last school fair. I don't know how to approach him. Should I say sorry for my brother's interruption? Ugh! This is so frustrating!

After pairing us up in the project, our professor let us meet our partners for the remaining period. Everyone seemed to be alright with their partners and I was even surprised that KC and Donna are civil with each other. They were calmly talking, maybe about the project, and they are alright...

I took a quick glance where JM is and he's still busy chatting with Nicole! Wow! Isn't he serious about the project? Maybe he's too arrogant to just take it easy.

I decided to put on my earphones and turned on my ipod for music, I'll make myself busy for 2 hours by doing my other assignments. After 30 minutes, everyone was back with their normal seats and got ready for the next class.

The bell rang for the next class so everyone, including me packed our things up and left the room. When I was going down the stairs, a hand held my arm for me to stop. I turned around to face the person who did that.

"What-" I thought it was just KC or someone but no, it was JM!

Okay, spell A-W-K-W-A-R-D

"Uhm, I'm sorry." He said to me while his head was slightly bent down.

"Why are you-" The second time I was interrupted.

"Ugh, I don't know how to explain but... Uhm, I'm sorry for ignoring you. I know, I should've be more attentive to the situation." What kind of situation? Is it the thing that happened during the school's fair or what happened today?

"I hate myself for ignoring you." He ran his hand in his hair from forehead to his nape.

"I don't know what came to me. I thought you'll wait for me then I saw you hugging... uhm.. someone." So, it started during the school fair.

"From now on, I'll try my best not to bother about you." What? What are you trying to say?

"I thought you don't have a boyfriend..." OMG! I'm going to be late.

"Uhm, JM, can we talk some other time? I'll be late in my next class." I really need to hurry!

"Ugh, yeah, sorry. I'll just talk to you tomorrow." His eyes looked sad.

"Ok. Bye!" I ran and  I was in a hurry but what he said today bugs me.

I turned around and looked where he was. He's still standing there looking at my direction. I shouted,

"He's my brother!"
