Love With Her Unknown Mate

Episode 7

Summer's P. O. V

After school, I was waiting for Kaith outside the gate, when I saw that girl. The girl from the other night. I wondered what she was doing here in our school. And when I noticed that she was wearing the same uniform as mine, it didn't take long for me to realize that she was a student here as well. But even then, what was she doing outside that late at night the other day?

"Hey!.. " I called her loudly without thinking much, as I didn't know her name either. Yes, I forgot to ask her, because I was so involved in my own thoughts about the strange man that we encountered last night, all the way back.

I waved her from a distance just when she turned back to see where the voice was coming from. And when she did notice me, she stopped on her tracks as I went running to her side.

"Hey, I wanted to know if everything is okay?" I asked casually and tried to put on a faint smile on my face so that I don't scare her away.

"Yes. And it is good that we got to meet today. Because I wanted to thank you for the last night." Her voice sounded so gentle as she spoke.

"No, it's alright. I wanted to intervene cause seeing such men from the other night, my blood boils and I just can not mind my business, when someone is already becoming a victim of those nasty brutes before my eyes." I said continuously remembering the moment from last night.

She didn't say anything for some moment, only looked at me intensely.

"I am Jennifer. And Jenny for you, because only my friends can call me that, and that is you are to me now." She extended her hand towards me in a friendly way.

I was taken aback by her sudden action. I wondered if she really wanted to be my friend. I mean, I know that I am the most hated person around the school, but my instinct said otherwise this time, when I saw that she was still waiting with her hand for me to grab, without any intention to take it back.

"Summer, you can call me Sam." I took her hand after thinking for some time, cause I didn't want to disappoint someone who is willing to be my friend out of all the odds.

"Yes, I know you. I mean everyone does, and I am no different." Jenny said smiling.

"Then, you shouldn't be asking me to be your friend I guess. I mean, if you are well aware of, why everyone knows me." Yes, I saw that coming. Because it's the same every time.

"No, no, you are getting me wrong, Sam." She said quickly without giving me time to assume further.

"I know what others think about you, but to me, you were always someone to admire.

Yes, I never got to know you any better before today, but I saw you most of the time, when you were unaware of my presence. Obviously, you didn't know me that's why.

And I also never got to talk to you, even when I wanted to. Cause, you see, I am nothing like you. I am not strong to stand against my bullies. I am pathetic. So yeah, the fear of being bullied always kept me a step behind.

But last night, when I saw you as my saviour, I wanted to be like you, I didn't want to stay as the fragile girl anymore.

So what do you think? Do I hate you like others?" When she stopped, I was already stunned at my place. Yes, I was left speechless after hearing her long speech. This was the first time to hear something good about me from others.

"Umm.. Well, I wasn't prepared for the whole thing that you have just said, Jenny. But you didn't have to say all this, and yes, I believe that we could be friends." I was overwhelmed, for the first time in my life.

"But, Jenny... If you don't mind may I ask you something?" I said cautiously, as I didn't know what her reaction would be.

"Of course, and you don't need my permission to ask. You can ask me anything, you know?" She said with a smile. I must say, her smile is surely something that could easily take one's breath away. And her dimples were enchanting, that I never realized she had before.

"Well, I was curious about you. I mean what were you doing at the dark alley that late last night?" With my words, I saw her dimples faded away along with her smile. Her beautiful brown eyes looked down for a moment to get lost in her thoughts, only to look up at me again.

"It's my fate, you can tell. I have to work at night clubs to earn my living." Jenny answered in her low voice, and I realized in an instant that fate is not only cruel to me but it has other victims as well, one like Jenny.

Even though I wanted to know more, I decided to let it be for this moment. I mean we just met, so it is not good to ask for everything at once.

"I see. But you better make sure of your safety first. Okay?" I said only to earn myself a nod from her.

"Okay. See you then. Otherwise, I will be late for work." She said with a sigh, maybe for the realisation that she had to go back to the trash world of her again.

I sighed too.

"Yeah, take care." I bid her goodbye just before she left... left only to engulf herself with another kind of darkness of her own world.

Right after Jenny went out of my sight I heard a familiar voice coming from behind,... So I turned back to meet him.

"Hey!!! What are you doing here? I was looking for you outside." Kaith said in between his breaths as he was almost running while coming to me.

"Are you even a wolf? Look how weak your respiratory system is. You are struggling to breathe after running this little distance? Seriously?" I made fun of him of course, though I knew why he was that tired today.

"Yeah yeah,... Take one class from my coach and then say that again." He retorted back immediately.

"Ha ha... Let's go." I started walking towards my bike with Kaith, and just when we reached the parking area, I saw his bike. It was indeed in a pathetic condition.

"What would you do with it?" I pointed towards his bike.

"I can't get it out today. So I'll leave the bike here, and bring someone with me tomorrow, so that he could take it to the garage." His words were unable to hide the fact that he was very frustrated to see his dear bike in its present condition.

"Okay. Get on. Let's get out of here." I asked him to sit at the back of my seat quickly. Because the longer we stay, the more frustrated we would become to see his broken bike in front of us.

So, yeah... as soon as he settled himself on the bike, I hit the accelerator pulling my bike out of the parking area only to let those sexy wheels run straight on the road with quite a speed.

We felt the wind sped up too to keep up with our pace, making our hairs all messy with its aimless wandering. But I least bothered, because I was quite enjoying the ride. Kaith didn't say anything, neither did I. It was a peaceful ride, but just then I remembered something that I forgot to tell Kaith. So, I broke the silence.

"I'll get off at the cafe, and you take the bike back home. Okay?" Yes, it was time for my part-time job.

"Okay. I will come to take you back home then. Text me when you are done." Just when he said, I pulled my bike aside, in front of the cafe. Yes, we had reached already, as it is on my way back to home from school. So, without a delay, I get off the bike and Kaith slid himself to the front.

"Well, about that. You don't have to come all the way here. I want to walk back home." With my words, Kaith looked at me for a while but couldn't get enough energy to argue this time I guess. So, he just nodded, while his face stayed expressionless.

"Okay, bye then. I don't wanna be late." With my words, I earned another of his nod just before I saw him disappear with the bike in no time.

But I think my day never completes without declaring itself as the worst day if my life. Each day, worse than the day before. And why did I say that? Well well...

Cause just when I entered the cafe, my eyes met with the familiar four pair of eyes which I always try to avoid but fail every time. But today they had company. Yes, bitches with the dogs. Those girls were eyeing each of the boys as if they were licking all of them in mind.

Ughh..

Keeping the disgusting sight aside, I made my way to the counter in an attempt to make myself ready for work.

"Go, attain table number three." As soon as I finished changing, I was assigned to take orders immediately.

"Right away." But as soon as I made my way out I realized that the table that I was assigned this evening was the table that I wanted to avoid.

Yes, me and my pathetic destiny, you see. But what could I do, it was my job for which I get paid, so I had to do it no matter what.

So, without hesitating any longer, I went straight to the table.

"Hi, I am Summer, and I will be taking your orders if you have decided anything yet?" Yes, I was acting according to my job, because it says to be always polite with the customers.

"Yes, Four coffees and take the rest of the orders from the girls." Jeremy said, letting one of the girls place the rest of the order, and believe me it was long, cause I kept writing and writing. Anyway, when the girl was done I made my way out of there instantly.

In no time I had to face them again to serve their orders. I just kept wishing not to lose my temper. But no... This stupid Adrian had to open his mouth.

"You know what Summer, this is what you are born for. To serve. And as I can see, you are pretty good at it." All the girls laughed at his cruel words without thinking for themselves.

"Yes, I am good at so many things, nothing to be ashamed about. And if I am not wrong, you are also aware of my capability very well by now. Isn't it?" I scoffed and gave myself a pat in my mind for making the stupid mouth of Adrian shut, for once.

"Is that how you should talk to your customers?" Markus said out loud.

Oh no. I am done today. I'll lose this job definitely. But this is no reason to tolerate their nuisance. Never.

"Yes, sir. But only if the customers start to humiliate the workers first." Not bothering about the others who were watching us, I said out loud.

The manager came running to the spot, attempting to control the situation.

"We are extremely sorry for all these, sir. This won't happen again. And you don't have to worry about today's bill sir, it would be taken care of. I would suggest you to enjoy your time here with your friends. Sorry for the chaos once again." My manager said cautiously with which I definitely didn't want to agree at all.

And most of all, what the hell did she mean by ' bill will be taken care of?' ... Was she saying that I have to pay for what they did?

Seriously?

I kept looking at my manager sternly as I couldn't believe her words, and just when I heard Kazan.

"Don't bother. We will pay for what we have ordered." With that, the discussion was over. At least I didn't have to pay for them. But I didn't know what will come next, as I was yet to face my manager.

"Summer. My office. Right now." I sighed as soon as I was called for what I was afraid about.
