Mystery Mail
Andy's POV
"Andy girl! You got a mail!" an overly excited Mandy Gorov said. She's my best friend. The daughter of a multi-billion Russian businessman.
"Mail? Who is it from? Do you know? Did you open it?" I asked her
"Like heck would I open it. is it mine? duhh" Mandy
As I reached my locker, I saw a pink rose attached to the mail.
"You look stunning in your pink dress. Enjoy your day."
I scanned everyone, trying to decipher if there is something unusual. But I don't see one. Who could it be?
I zoned out and didn't realize, I'm in my classroom already.
"Hey! Andy! A N D Y!" Phil trying to catch my attention.
"Oh, hey! What did I missed?" I asked trying to regain and internalize the scene.
They stare at me as if I've gone two heads.
"What?" I demanded.
"What's bothering my lady?" the annoying jackass quarterback Jacob.
"I think, you could help me with my problem." grinning like a leopard.
"Yes, finally!" he exclaimed
" Shut your mouth and leave before I kill you!" I said calmly. Yet in a serious tone.
"Alright, alright. Chill! Call me when you're free. I'll be there " he said then he left.
I handed the mail to Phil. He read the note and his face turned serious.
"Any idea?" he asked us all in serious tone.
"No" we answered in unison.
Just in time our teacher arrived. Grade 12 sucks, but we gotta do it.
Being a member of a multi-billion family, it is a pressure to be on top always. My parents don't mind. They seem to like what, how, and why do I do things. As long as it is reasonable. Sometimes I wonder if they have hidden agenda.
I'm study at North Harbour High together with my friends. Our parents are stock holders, mine specifically is the major stock holder owning 90% of it. Most elite families are here so, expect the dramas and all.
" Phil, have you contacted Mason? Lately he's been off. Even during our business dinner, he doesn't show up. He's not the usual Mason that we know. Somethings up. Deal with it." I said as we eat our lunch.
Phil's POV
As I read the mail given to Andy, I clenched my fist. I don't think it is an admirer, it is more of a warning. Someone is watching her.
I am Phil, one of Andy's friends. We grew up together, we know everything about each other. Except her knowing about our family background. We are Mafia's offspring. My dad is the second command. Everyone is trying to protect Andy in the most subtle way, nobody wants to get in her bad side. No one has ever dared. No One.
"I'll be meeting Mason after school. I texted him." I informed Andy.
She is so pure, she's caring, sweet and all just don't mess with her.
ANDY'S POV
We were walking towards the school's parking lot when we noticed all eyes were on me.
" What's wrong with these people? Can't they live a normal life?" I muttered
Then, Mandy nudged me.
A pink rose with a card is on the hood of my precious Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. I stopped in my track, Phil got it and read it.
"Get a life of your own!" Phil shouted then everyone hustled and left the parking area leaving us 3.
"Phil, what does it say?" asks Mandy
"Feeling the cold breeze as you pass me by. The smell of cinnamon coming from you is addictive. Drive safely Me Amore"
"The hell is that!" Mandy shouted furiously and went back to the Admin Building
"Let's, go back inside. Maybe the CCTV caught it." Phil consoling me as if he can read my mind.
I absent-mindedly follow him, still lost in my thoughts. Who could this one be?
MANDY'S POV
"Guard, can I check the CCTV? I need to check something." He obeyed and leave.
This mail is not your typical mail. It sends a message. I must know who is this before something happens.
I started from this morning, from the locker but no one came near her locker except me.
I gotta hurry before Andy arrives. She knows I'm tech savvy but not a mafia hacker.
I caught something near the boy's comfort room. Wearing a blue hooded jacket, the same person who put the flower on Andy's car.
I don't have time to examine the footage, I quickly copied it. I will check it later.
ANDY'S POV
"Andy, ride with me. I will drop you off. I called your dad, he will have your driver get your car. Let's go." Phil informed me, before I know it I was dragged and running with my friends. I quickly got in his car and drove of.
I don't have time to process everything and suddenly, a defeaning sound echoed through.
"Oh s**t! Mandy! Booster! Now!" Phil shouted.
"What! What's happening!" I exclaimed, feeling nervous, anxious. I don't know!
Phil looked dangerous, I've never seen him like this, even though he gets furious sometimes but this. This is different.
"Your car's blown." he said simply.
It slowly registered in my mind then it hit me.
"My, my, my car!!!!!!!" I exclaimed looking at the mirror, sure enough. The sky is as bright as the morning. My car, the mail, the rose.
"Is someone trying to kill me?" I muttered to myself quietly.
I hold on tight as Mandy and Phil drove of. Never in my life have I prayed to ride as fast as this two going.
Crying quietly until I fell asleep.
MANDY'S POV
I call Phil trough intercom.
"How is she?" I asked worried
"Asleep, she was crying a while ago." he replied
"Check your back, make sure you're safe. I activated the safety. Make sure you don't have a tail." I instructed Phil
Focusing on the road, at the same time looking at the screen to see our 100 meters distance. We have to be on guard, we'll never know who our opponent is. As we reached our territory, I feel secured but still on guard until we arrive at Andy's house.
Phil's POV
I can always rely on Mandy when it comes to tech, she's a nerd. But since I still want to live, I wont tell her that or else... You'll get free coffee.
I can see Andy's house and she's still fast asleep. I'm worried, I don't know how to comfort her.
We came to a stop.
" Boss" We greeted her parents.
They nodded as a recognition as the butler carried Andy up to her room.
"My office" Mr. Dorove said
ANDY'S POV
"My head hurts, the rose, the mail, the car, the bomb. Oh my gosh!" I screamed my heart out and cried.
My mom barges in my room and hugged me tight.
"Shhhhh, it's alright. I'm here. Shhhhh" cooing me.
I hugged her as tight as I can be burying my head in her shoulders. I continued crying until I can cry no more.
My dad was looking at me, with mixed emotions. I can't blame him.
"Why??? Am I horrible? What did I do to deserve this kind of treatment?" I asked to no one in particular.
Soon enough, my dad embraced me with his warmth muscles. I continued crying.
"Shhhh, darling. We will find out. don't worry. For now. You are to stay in the house. You are not to leave unless with your guards. We are on high alert."
I just nodded in response.
"Your friends are down stairs. I told them to stay until everything is sorted. I won't risk anyone. I've called their parents so they will also prepare." My dad informed me.
"Andy! how are you?" Mandy asked as I entered the garden
We like to be here since it is calming and relaxing.
"Good I guess. Any news?"
"Mason called."Phil said
