Hidden

Chapter 7

"Good morning everyone". I said dragging my bags out of my room. My flight does not leave till ten and it's some minutes after eight but, I didn't want to stay in this house any second more. I can not stand the sight of Frank's face.

"Isn't it too early darling, how about have breakfast with us? You got lots of time left." My mom asked looking at the wall clock.

I stared at her. I was about to answer when my phone started ringing.

"Excuse me." I said to her then went to the back of the other end of the house.

It was an unknown number.

"Hello, Michaela Hunt." I said.

"It's Harry" I heard a male voice

Why does that voice sound familiar?

"Harry? Harrison Turner. Like the superstar, Harrison Turner. " I was mind blown

"Yeah"

"My-my number. How did you get my number. When did you get it?" I stammered. I was super excited.

"You kind of gave it to me personally but, you were drunk. I took advantage of the night. Am so sorry" He apologized.

"No. Don't apologize. I hope I wasn't too crazy the other night." I said.

"Nope, not that crazy..."

"So, I was crazy?"

"Everyone is crazy in a way when they are drunk"

"You have a point there."

" Cool. Um...Are you free this weekend"

"What's happening this weekend"

"The Adult park launching. Thought you could be my plus one."

" Am sorry, I'm leaving for London today, I mean in less than three hours."

" Oh"

"Am really sorry"

"Quit apologizing, it's alright."

"Thanks"

"Well we could talk when you get to London."

"Sure. I'll call you. Is it alright with you."

"Totally."

"Great. Bye."

"Bye Michaela"

"Call me Kayla." I corrected almost immediately.

"Bye Kayla"

"Bye."

I started blushing like a fool once he hung. I have Harrison Turner's phone number. I just spoke to Harrison Turner. We are going to keep in touch with each other. I am freaking excited.

I can't wait to tell Max. Ugh... He says he doesn't want to see me again........ Lies. I laughed to myself, then thought of the fact that I just talked to the Harrison Turner.

I couldn't help but blush.

"What's the good news? You are as red as a tomato."My sister said looking at me from the back door.

"Nothing"I said trying to stop blushing

"Your eyes are getting watery... You ate obviously lying"

"Leave me alone. I said nothing" I kept my phone in my pocket and held my face, trying to calm down.

"Mom's dishing out breakfast personally for you" She said and I hot alarmed.

I dashed to the front of the house and picked up my bags. I went to the front door and bid everyone goodbye.

Am not going to stare at that creep's face for another day.

London

I live at Florida, to be precise Orlando. I am currently studying at Royal Holloway University of London. I am studying media arts and this is my last year . It is a 3years full time BA . It's Campus is just breath taking. It's like you are living in a fairytale castle like in Disney movies. But, I don't have much friends, not always on campus. Well you can say I don't have any female friend here. I don't have much female friends.

Ha! I need to sit and think about the people in my life. This is alarming all my female friends are either the exes or the current girlfriends of all my male friends.

"Michaela Hunt? " I heard someone ask.

"I'm here. I mean present. Yes!" I shouted. It was surprising to hear my name immediately I just entered the class. Especially when you are me. Am also in a world in my head.

"Why didn't you answer at the first call? " The person who called asked

I shrugged. I felt like hitting him. I just entered the room. How would I know he called me earlier. Oh my... The things I don't say out loud are the things I really want to say.

"Follow me" He said

"To where exactly?" I asked

Everyone gasped. Wait. What's wrong?

"I am a new professor here, Michaela" He said

"Oh. My bad. I'll be with you shortly"

I walked behind him closely. Why did I leave for a week. I almost got into trouble.

We walked to the other end of the building, then entered a room which I thought was restricted to students.

Am I in trouble.

A beautiful woman who looked like she was in her early fifties was seated by the time we entered the office

"Mrs Andrews, this is Michaela Hunt. The best student in her department. Final year." Our head chancellor said

I smiled warmly at her after that introduction.

Am not in trouble.

"Have your seat he said" He said

"I am Mrs Veronica Andrews. Michaela I have heard so much about you from my children. I could have never imagined you schooling here." She said with no expression on her face.

I tried to take that as a compliment. I really hope it is.

"Thank you, I guess" I said and she laughed.

"You seem tense." She said

Who wouldn't?

"Am here with a proposition" She said.

We talked for a really long time. Till I was finally able to leave with the best news ever.

Got to tell Max fast

****

"Let me go John" I said angrily

"Fine. Glad you are back. Lunch is on me your Majesty"He said half laughing.

"Well, with this irresponsible attitude of yours am not happy about coming back" I said in a British accent.

We both laughed

"And you ask me why I love, every time" John said suddenly.

"I didn't ask now. Did I?"

I ignored him and continued walking to my house. I looked back after walking some distance. He was still standing at the same spot and our eyes met. Four years and he still thinks I might fall for him. He is pathetic.

I also need to come clean with him since am graduating soon
