Behind Everything...

Chapter 5

Veronica's (Vicky's) POV:

When I first meet Tristan, in the morning traffic, I was really annoyed by the fact that he was staring at me as if I'm some kind of alien or something. I really hate when people look at me with such kind of expression. It usually happens to me all the time. It usually because of my clothes and my wild appearance as I get myself dirty. My hairs always get dirty due to my everyday adventure with Jasper. 

Jasper and I were childhood friends. We used to do everything together. We ate together, spend time together, did pranks on our neighbour together, went to school together until one day after some months later of his parent's death, his Grandma begged his uncle to shift far away from here. She asked Jasper, not to spend time with me or have any contact with me in future but fortunately, we still go to school together. He always managed to escape from his home to spend time with me. 

Jasper is my other half or I say, he's more like my twin brother. He is my partner in crime and always there for me whenever I stuck in a problem. He always supports me in everything. When I embarrassed myself in front of people, he always stands up for me and always there to wipe my tears away. It is always him to take all the blames for me when I'm in problem and I did the same when he gets in a problem. 

I smiled at the thought of helping him out today. His grandma is sick and his uncle is out of town due to work. There is no one but Jasper himself to take care of her so he asked me to bring the medicines for his Grandma as my father is a scientist but has very strong knowledge about the medicines. due to that, I had to sneak into Dad's old private laboratory. James would be there and I don't have much time to answer his stupid questions. He asks more questions than my mother does. My brother is a scientist too but he never agreed to works with dad. He always wanted to become independent.

Because of James, I had sneaked into the laboratory and I got myself dirty. Mommy would kill me today but I really don't care as soon as Dad is with me. He is always kind to people. He never refuses to help anyone and also askes me to do the same.

Usually, whenever Jasper asks me something to do, I really don't mind. Actually, I must say that he never bothers to ask me whether I mind or not because he is way too kind to people. Just like Dad but when he introduced me to this idiot, I was really mad at him but quickly I calm myself down because he obviously doesn't know what happened between this idiot and me. I ignore my inner voice, who was continuously telling me to give this idiot at least a friendly smile to avoid the awkwardness. 

It's an illusion for my family that I get nervous or awkward in front of guys, where's the reality is I really just don't care about them. Actually, if I say even more clearly then I should say that I really don't trust anyone except my Dad and Jasper. Jasper once tries to convince me that all people are not the same but in the end, he realizes his mistake. 

I controlled my anger as the flashbacks made me angry even more. I looked Tristan and asked him to sit in the back seat of my bicycle but he first refuses. I tried to ignore his stupid refusals and excuses to let him ride my bicycle. I never let anyone touch my bicycle. Somehow managed to show my bad side to him so that he doesn't argue or question me anymore and I don't get late for the school. I mentally cursed Jasper for his another useless try as I already knew that he will not go to his Grandma straight because she might doubt about where did he get the medicines so fast.

As I expected, he is also arrogant, proud of his great looks. He has fair skin with a pair of ocean blue eyes, a straight nose, perfect peach coloured lips and the sharp jaws. Just like the exact youngest version of any Hollywood hero. I adjusted my side mirror and take a quick glance at his perfect face. When I saw the way he was interacting with Jasper, I understood that he is quite rude too.

When Jasper was about to leave he didn't forget to tell me to be patient with him. Probably he was quite aware of my anger. Jasper is an expert in reading people's mood. 

I knew the perfect way to get him back to the track. Dad once told me that a person is always nice to you when he is either genuinely nice or needs your help or afraid of you. I think he has said quite well. I purposely took the unalarmed turns and direction. He is pretty annoying and sometimes he really screamed so hard that it gave me a heart attack but he actually needs to learn a lesson from it. 

That's right, I really want him to be nice to me and also I didn't really want to be late for my school. Actually, in school, I really don't have a good reputation so I need at least anyone to respect me. This guy seems to attract many girls so I need him to regain my image. Yeah I know I'm evil!
