Behind Everything...

Chapter 9

Veronica's POV:

As usual, before getting into the class. He just mocked me for my looks and also warned me to not to get along with Tristan. As if I was dying for it. I walk into the cafeteria late from others as Professor Greyson always take half of my lunchtime. He asked me to moves the boxes from his room and shifted to the other room. In Professor Greyson's class, I get punishments for almost every time.

The reasons why I get punishments are really common. Sometimes I get punishments for not being attentive to the class and thinking about having some fun or being the fantasy world where I can go for an adventure or sometimes I get for coming late in class, sometimes for eating, etc. I must admit the fact that his way of teaching is fun. I mean, I rarely attend his classes but I always manage to get enough good marks.

He always calls me for lifting things but sometimes he really acts weird and also always acts cold towards the innocent kids too.

Professor Greyson maybe weird or strict sometimes but I must admit that he is the only teacher that is a bit less ignorant in compare to the other teachers or else every other teacher just ignore me or insult me.

From the morning only I was too panicked and pissed off. In the morning James was mad at me and I don't know why. He always scolds me for almost no reason. James Brown, my elder brother is the one who runs our home when our father is at work for months. No doubt that he does his duty of an ideal son so perfectly and take responsibilities for everything but sometimes I just feel like he doesn't want me in this house.

My father works at the Science and Technology Research Centre. He is always busy with his works and barely gets time for us. When I was young, my father used to spend time with me and those were my golden days as no one would dare to scold me. Even though James was always a mood spoiler, he never interrupted between us but once Dad started to work for long hours, everything was changed. And now, it's been months since Dad left for his work.

Dad has an old style of telling about his well beings. He always sends us letters whenever he is some special work which I don't know why but found it very interesting. It may be because we are living in the time of mobile phones it's really very rare for anyone to actually spending time writing a letter to someone and I really appreciate the effort of my father for showing his love for us in such a unique way.

I smiled at the sweet memories of my father but the morning events really upset me very much.

In the morning after James scolded me for no reason, I rushed towards the medical store to buy medicines as Jasper asked me to bring the medicines for his grandma but I didn't have enough money so I needed to sneak into Dad'd laboratory. Jasper parents died when he was young and he himself doesn't know how he lost his parents.

My family knows his parents for very long and my father had a great bonding with Jasper's mother. That is the reason why my parents love him so dearly and help him to get over financially. Jasper actually doesn't like his Uncle and Aunt that much because according to him, they are rude to him. After they shifted from here, his Uncle got promotion in his work but instead of taking Jasper and his grandma along with them, they just visit them at once in a month.

After lifting those boxes I was hungry so quickly I ran to the school canteen for getting me some snacks. As usual, I took my snacks and went back to my place but my eyes went unknowingly to the closest table where I found Mr Perfect is sitting with those group of idiots, whom I hate the most.

For a fraction of second, I was too shocked to see him with that Bitch Christina but quickly I overcome from the shock as I was quite aware of the results. Soon he will regret of sitting with those cheaters. 

They are the worst people I have ever met in my life. They just ruined my life. I hate to admit that once I was Christina's best friend and once I used to tell her all my darkest secrets and now I just totally regret that.

After I entered the cafeteria everyone's eyes were on me.

I really hate the fact when people laugh at me or insult me and now they got a great reason to make fun of me because Christina told almost everyone about that kiss which happened between me and Noah. They even spread the rumours that I even slept with Noah. 

My anger boiled inside me when the moments of Christina's birthday events flashed into my mind and I felt the dirtiest when the kiss happen.

I hate to admit that I had a huge crush on Noah from the beginning and I revealed my feelings about Noah to my closest friends. Unfortunately one of them was Christina. I always feel exhausted whenever the clips from that night flashed into my mind.

Pushing those thoughts away from my head I went to the food counter.

After that night incident, I rarely talk to people around me in this school as I know they will judge me for that incident. I quietly went at the corner of the room and felt that all the eyes were on me only.

Christina cheated on me and I hate her.

I knew that they must be talking about me. She always did the same with me whenever a new student arrives at school and as usual, every male student falls for her beauty and her fake miserable tale about me cheating on her. I hate to admit but she is not only the smartest girl in the school but also the prettiest. She is not only the favourite of the other students but she is also the favourite of all the teachers too. 

People just love her and why wouldn't they. She is just perfect as a model, tall, smart, attractive and also have a perfect small innocent face. She just carries all the good features in her body and here I am. Just opposite of her. Neither I'm as good looking nor smart. My reputation is also not good and I'm horrible at dancing. 

At least my Dad praises me when I used to wake him up in the morning when I was young. I never sing in front of anyone but my Dad, who never judge me for anything. I'm the exact version of my Dad except for the brown hairs and the pair of black eyes. Neither of my parents has this feature. Both of them has beautiful blue eyes. Sometimes I was teased because of that but now I'm not afraid of these idiotic people or maybe I should say, I try to avoid them at least. 

To divert my mind I pulled out a random book from my bag and pretended like I'm reading it with passion. I usually do in the lunch period whenever Jasper left me with these groups of idiots. I hate it when everyone is eating with their friends and here I'm sitting alone and staring at everyone. 

I knew that Christina would definitely tell Tristan about that kissing incident as he was staring at me with the expression. I was quickly losing my temper because of that. Why she always do this to me? She is quite aware of the fact that she is the most beautiful girl in the whole school yet she wants to say all those lies just to get sympathy.

I tried to ignore them when suddenly a message popped on my phone screen, "I need you in my room now". It was from the Principal. Horror struck inside me when I get that message. He's definitely going to send the letter to me being late for the sixth time and I don't want Mum to find out that I usually bunk school just to spend some in the forest. She hates the idea of me getting into the forest.

Quickly I ate my snacks and as I was drinking the juice, some spillover my T-shirt. Oh no! Mum will surely kill me today. I thought to myself. I throw the plate and the cup in the trash bin and left the cafeteria.
