CHAPTER 24
The weekend rushed by so fast and Monday is here already.
Troy and I arrive for the class early and find other students seated and studying. I'm surprised to see Danna sitting at her desk silently. She's rarely early for any class. She gets on time for classes but not earlier than usual. She's leaning her hands on the desk, her focus on books. This is strange. Really strange.
"What's up with that snake today? I'm surprised she wasn't expelled," Bruna says as she pulls a chair.
I'm surprised she was not expelled too. But she looks sad and there's just something strange with the way she's acting.
After the class, I'm quick to follow Danna behind. Thank God she doesn't have her girl gang. They must have ditched h

Trent and I can get along after all. We ate the delicious meal he had cooked as we watched a movie. You won't believe what movie he selected.Me before you...He says he has watched it a thousand times and it gets to him every time. I didn't expect he loved romantics. He looks like an action movie type but he proved me wrong. After that dinner, I catch a bus back home after I say no to Trent's free drive. I'm glad that he's making my work easier now. I just hope it stays that way.Strolling home, I remember I had a dinner date with Nate. Shit! I had already forgotten about it. I see the lights to his house are still on, so he's not asleep yet.I knock on the door. It takes some seconds for him to open.

What!Why does Grammy have to embarrass me in front of my boss? I look at Trent and see him smiling at Grammy. Why is he smiling at her? I'm sure she just said that because Trent is not white. Told you she's racist. She keeps insisting how white men are not for coloured women like us. Bla. Bla. Bla."Grammy, this is my boss, Trent." I introduce her feeling a little bit embarrassed. "Trent, my grandma..."Grammy grins at Trent and winks. "Call me Grammy boy..." then she pauses. "How is a young man like you my baby's boss?"Trent is looking down at her since Grammy is short. "Because I'm rich."Grammy laughs and I don't find that funny. I shuffle for keys in

I speed off without thinking twice and I hear Grammy call my name but I can't look back. Trent is stranded right now and he needs my help.I get to the gas station within twenty minutes. I stop the bike and leap. I don't see Trent anywhere. It's just an old man standing stiff, smoking a cigarette."Are you Becca?"

I'm taken aback by what he says. What is that supposed to mean?"If he sees that I have this bandage, he will dig deep until he finds out that... That it's you I drove home last night. Then he'll assume that I have feelings for you...""Trent!"His dad bangs the door this time. We can hear the faint voice in the room."So, what will we do?""I should hide in my room, then you'll go open the door for him. Tell him I'm not in..."I'm in silence, confused."Stop thinking! Go!"I run

The park covers a wide area that could fill a mansion or two.It's quite hilly with a tall tree or two near one hill. There are benches for people to sit in although they are all empty. Except for an old couple that's sitting on one bench enjoying the view. Flower hedges and bushes grew all around making the bush look more attractive.Trent and I sit beside the small river, flowing gently. It amuses me that the water is so clean that you can see the pebbles underneath. I open the dish full of ice cream and scoop some. Damn! This ice cream is so sweet. I can't get enough of it."Thank you..." Trent says out of nowhere."Thank you for what?"He smiles. "for e

I hop from the bike after Troy climbs off and walks to his house. I put the bike back from where I stole it and sneak into the house before I'm caught returning it."Thief!" A voice barks.I leap back in shock only to see Nate's face through the curtain."You scared me!""Next time, just borrow."Thank God he doesn't create a scene. Drama is the last thing I need right now. Yea, I know it was mannerless of me to just take his bike and speed off with it like that. But I had to... I had to save Trent. A choice I regret by the way.I walk back to my house and find Grammy waiting for me. She's pa

Trent is unconscious. He's restless. He's breathing hard. I don't know why the doctor said he's okay but he's not okay. And he's calling my name. That melts my heart. He's calling me. I'm the one he always calls in time of need.I grip his arm tight and I don't care if his cousin and his dad are standing beside me, staring at me. Trent suddenly opens his eyes and relief washes over me. Believe me, I've never been so relieved to see someone open their eyes. And that feeling scares the shit out of me. I shouldn't feel anything for Trent.Trent glimpses at me sweetly and you can tell his vision is a blur. He blinks twice then looks around the room. He freezes at the sight of his dad, then looks at me again. This time, angrily. Typical Trent is back.Trent snatches his hand from
