Chapter 5

• The next day at school, my elder brother wave at me as he walk away with Michelle.
• "You are so lucky" a voice said and I turned to see Mark Walking towards me.
• "Lucky? Good morning" I replied.
• "Your brother and sister are lovely" he replied and I smiled.
• I don't know why am always feeling like this around him.
• "So how is your project going" he asked.
• Should I just tell him about Jeremy been adamant.
• "It going fine and Jeremy is a good partner" I lied.
• "Actually I really wanted to swap so am asking if you could join team" he said.
• I wanted to tell him we should join team but I remember Dad word so I just smiled.
• "Am totally fine with him, am sorry if your partner bother you so much" I replied.
• "It okay" he said scratching the back of his head and it was awkward between us.
• "I should probably head in first" I said and walk away fast.
• "Hey why are you always with Mark every morning" Jessica asked immediately I enter the class.
• "Oops just coincidence" I replied with a smile.
• "Seriously I don't even know who you would choose because it going to be tough" she said and I wanted to ask what she meant but the teacher walk in.
• Class finally ended after two hours in Math class.
• The teacher left the class and It was a chance to talk to Jeremy.
• I don't really have choice so I have to do it.
• Jessica already went to meet her paired mate for the project so I just walk to the arrogant jerk.
• "Hi" I greeted and he raise his head up and smirk form on his lips and I felt like punching them again.
• "How may I help you Miss Rachael" he asked.
• "Hey don't start with that am here because of the project" I replied.
• "Actually am not interested in that so can you let me be" he said and I was surprised.
• "You want to fail your first project and we are defending it in two weeks time and time started counting yesterday"I yelled a little.
• "Like seriously do I look like am bothered about it" he replied.
• "Jeremy" I yelled.
• "Now that sounds like the rachael I know, always calling my name unnecessarily" he said.
• "Jeremy I need to pass or I would lose mark in my first year" I said.
• "Since you are not going to allow me have peace here and if I try doing anything your so called superhero would show up" he said and pick his bag and walk out.
• Is this guy for real, we have limited time and he is still acting like a jerk.
• And who say that Mark is my superhero 🙄.
• Wait! he stopped bullying me because of Mark?.
• Did something happened that I didn't know about?
• I have an idea I can get to know Jeremy is best color, food and all other related, he doesn't need to know mine since he isn't interested.
• "Jeremy" I called and quickly ran after him.
• "Miss Rachael what is it this time" he asked.
• "I was wondering if you want to hang out with me on Saturday" I asked smiling.
• "Are you asking me on a date" he asked.
• "That should have been my line but it vice versa anyway so we could get to clear our dispute" I replied.
• "Then am not interested" he said and made to walk away again but I grab him by his arm.
• "Okay there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago if you really want to know then come to my house on Saturday" I said and walk away.
• I hope this works, once I get to take him out I would stylishly ask him all that and he won't know.
• Omg!!! Rachael you are a genius.
• I laughed and giggled a bit.
• "Am never coming" he yelled but I just laughed.
• "Why is my friend so happy today" a voice said and I recognize it was Mark.
• Did he just call me friend maybe I misheard him.
• "Nothing" I pretended to act normal but I was laughing really inside of me.
• "So how is the project thing, I saw you call Jeremy angrily when you left the class" he said.
• Why is he always asking about the project and how did he even notice all that?.
• "Actually it going perfectly fine" I fake a smile and he just nod.
• "You can join me for lunch if you don't mind" he said.
• "Sure" I replied and we walk to the cafeteria.
• I order my usual and Mark order same.
• Something about this school is they cook the best meal for their kids and it quite remarkable.
• "Do you really like shrimps because am allergy to it" Mark said looking at my food. I had ordered the chef to put enough shrimps in my food.
• "I like them and don't even think of trying them because you are allergy to it" I replied and stuff some into my mouth.
• I sighted Jeremy walking into the cafeteria and I pretended to be concentrating on Mark so much.
• "What are you own allergy" he asked.
• Come to think of it I doubt if am allergy to anything I just don't like some taste.
• "Not really I don't have allergy just
• bugs they make me sick" I said and that was true during camp last year in high school I was sent to the hospital right after a bug bit me.
• Maybe that my allergy am not even sure.
• "Can I ask a question" he asked.
• "Sure", "Why are you always on Jeremy bad side" he said and I choked.
• "Sorry are you okay" he asked and I just nodded.
• "Am sorry if I ask a question you don't want to hear" he said and I smiled.
• "Actually Jeremy and I attended the same elementary school and high school but I changed high school that all' I replied.
• "And why should you even answer that question in the first place" Jeremy interrupted.
• "Not again" I muttered.
• "Rachael we need the talk" he said and walk away.
• "Don't mind him he just been rude because we aren't in good terms right from kid" I said and stand up.
• "See you later it must be about the project" he said and I walk away.
• I followed Jeremy to the class and it was empty only few students where around.
• "When are we starting the project" he asked and I smiled to myself.
• "I know you would do this" I said and he looked at me for a while.
• "Am not doing this for you excuse me? am doing it for my grades and trust me it would be an opportunity to screw you off" he said and walk away.
• "That jerk certainly doesn't learn a lesson" I muttered.
• "Why are you talking to yourself" Jessica said and place her hand around my neck.
• "Nothing just someone trying to piss me off again" I replied.
• "Jeremy Jeremy Jeremy" she said and I laughed with the way she call his name.
• "Actually it Jeremy Jeremy Jeremy" I replied and she laughed.
• "Mine isn't funny it yours" I said.
• "You even feel like you are the only that can call his name well" she said with a smirk.
• "And what do you mean by that" I asked.
• "Did you both have feelings for each other during elementary because it obvious you are fighting over silly things" she said I hit her playfully.
• "You are saying trash, I don't have anything to do with him ever since we were kids"I said and we went to sit.
• "Rachael actually I got to know Bred and he is really amazing".
• "Don't tell me you are....." yes rachael' she interrupted.
• "This project is certainly going to join a lot of people together because it obvious when you get to know who they really are, you can't help it only if they are badass or bad boy" she said.
• There is no way me and Jeremy would ever come together 🙄.
