Crush, jelousy and popularity

Chapter 7;

Jaden

That new shaggy girl really pissed me off. How hard is it to say sorry. I missed the first three classes. After the break, I came back to class and headed straight to my seat. Our encounter earlier had already circulated the whole school, and I didn't want anything more to do with that unbearable creature. I hated attention in class, and I always resort to sleeping. Everyone knows I hate disturbance while sleeping. I smelled a faint, beautiful fragrance near me, and I knew the owner. I opened my eyes abruptly, and there she was. My guess was right. After ambushing her this early morning, I smelt her scent, and it was mesmerising. We locked eyes for some seconds, and she seemed frozen. I wanted nothing to do with her, but when she was near, she felt welcoming and non judging. There comes the witch.Julie placed her hand over miss Shaggy, and they started murmuring.

"Hey Jaden, Julie greeted me."I'm good. What about you, sweetheart? that pet name earned me a blush from Julie. I saw Miss Shaggy distorting her face. I chuckled at her funny expression, and she looked kinda cute. The two girls both looked at me, and with their questioning looks, I turned a serious expression.I knew the reason Julie was there was to chase Miss shaggy away but I never knew what Miss Shaggy's intentions were. What brings the both of you here, i asked them. Julie seemed perplexed by my question, and she fumbled, trying to search for an answer. "Umm, I...I came here to check on Sandra, right Sandra?" "Mmmh, me? yeah, yeah, she came to check on me."Shaggy replied. I knew she was lying, and she was pretty poor in that.

I raised an eyebrow and looked directly at Shaggy. So what brings you here, Miss Shaggy? I asked her. She gave me a weird smile, lifting her upper left side of her lip with a farrowed brow." Jeez, Mr whoever, who gave you that idea to call me Miss Shaggy, it's kinda annoying, and you really suck in nicknaming people, just don't try, okay dear?" .Hey, hey, excuse me, and who gave you the right to call me Mr, whoever, that's pretty sick, you know? "Ah, come on, it suits you with your arrogance." Are you mentally ill? I asked. Have you got too much time to waste, that you had to walk all those steps just to come here and annoy me? "Eww, are you normal? who the heck would waste their precious time time to just come here to banter with you over small issues?

I raised an eyebrow and looked her, clearly, she's bantering with me and clearly clueless and innocent.

Julie just stared at us with an eye killing look as we were arguing like couples. f**k did I just say couples. "You know what," Shaggy started talking again, " I came here to apologise for what happened in the morning but we are now even, you have called me Miss Shaggy which isn't an awesome name, so we are even, continue with your sleep and im gone, and yeah you will have a nightmares." She rumbled like that, turned and murmured at Julie, donnow what they said.She then looked back at me, snorted and went away. Now im pretty sure this girl is a lunatic. She's at the wrong facility, she's supposed to be at a mental asylum and not here.

Clearly we are not even, she has also named me Mr whoever, who, nick names a person Mr whoever. What the heck is that? And she never apologised. im literally having a headache thinking about her tantrum. If she came to annoy me, mission success. I watched her as she settled on her seat. She offered Resley a smile, turned to me again,made me a goofy face then winked. I felt hotness rising up my ears. I quickly covered them and looked at her. She had looked back at the front.

No one has ever flirted with me like that. I turned to look at Julie, who was looking at our nonverbal insults with a grumpy expression. I then looked at her, and she offered a nervous smile. She then gave me a package and wished me a nice class. She made her way to her seat. I kept the package in my bag as I knew I would be giving it to the proud Allan. I really admired Miss Shaggy, and she seemed pretty welcoming. She was simply going, and I wanted no connection with her. During the fourth period, I could see Julie throwing dagger looks to the clueless Miss Shaggy. Being in the back seat was really advantageous. You could observe everything without effort. On the other side, Allan kept looking at Julie instead of focusing on his class.

After the fourth period, it was lunch time. As always, I never scrambled for the door, and I knew my admirers were on their way anytime from now. I received a call from my modern bites manager, and I knew it was important. I received the call, and it connected. I saw Allan coming my way after being done with Julie. "Mr Martin, there is an employee in our restaurant that has been working diligently as a part timer. I have forgotten her name but she has been good. She had called me previously asking for her salary as it has been long since she was paid. Her salary is huge, and I thought I had to ask for your permission before paying her."

After my managers report I could tell that the employee was really hardworking. He has never favoured anyone, and he was always truthful.

How much is the salary? I asked. Nine thousand dollars was the response I got. Damn that is a huge sum of money, I thought to myself, but for me, it wasn't big. I had multiple branches of modern bites in the whole country with other types of businesses. Is the employee quitting? I asked," No, she isn't ", that's a relief, I thought. You can pay her to keep her motivated.

"What is going on?" Allan asked. It is work related, i answered,"Now, im not talking about that." Are you okay,"yeah im fine." What is going on between you and pretty?". Pretty? who the f**k is that?. "Aah jeez,"Allan responded with hitting his palm on his forehead." It's Sandra you nincompoop ," Oh , so that alien was the one being referred to as pretty? Allan, I never knew you had such taste. I saw a frowned settling on Allan's face, and I knew he was annoyed. "So are you going to tell me, or will you keep brushing me off?" We have nothing between us, and there will never be, rest assured. " Im not interested in her just so you know." Okay, okay , why are you going in a defence mode, pal? "You know what, Jaden? you are useless, that's why you are single. "With that, he stormed off.

Hey Allan, wait for me? I shouted while laughing. He seemed to have slowed down, and I matched his pace. You know im never the dating type. How can I be interested in that lowly shaggy looking Sandra? She comes from a poor family and will have nothing to do with me. She's never and will never be my type. If im to date, I'd probably go for someone like your pretty Julie and not some low life poor looking Sandra girl. Let her date that nerdy Resley. They are pretty much a match made in heaven. She's the type to leech of on a rich person and dump them. So don't worry at all.Suddenly Allan stopped on his tracks. Hey pal, you okay, I inquired." You should be worried about yourself," he responded.
