✿ CHAPTER 20 ✿
FEW DAYS LATER
I arrived at campus, and as I got out of my car I also spotted Sofiya coming out from her car…
"Amelia!" she ran to hug me tight.
"I…I can't, can't breathe!" I choked on my words.
"Oh, sorry" she let go of me as I gasped for air.
I glared at her.
"Seems like someone wants me dead!" I cleared my throat.
"Come on…I was just excited to see you…it's been days since I last saw my sweet cousin!" She smiled and I rolled my eyes walking ahead of her.
"Hey!, wait up!" she ran after me.
While we were walking down the hallway.
"Right, Amelia!!" she yelled.
"Jesus Christ Sofiya!... I'm next to you, why shout in my ear" I touched my ears to make sure I wasn't bleeding.
"Amelia guess what!... I heard that a very handsome CEO is coming to our school today!" Sofiya squealed in excitement.
"Huh?, CEO?" I was confused.
"Yes, I heard his company is one of the people who sponsors our school"
I halted in my steps.
"Wait a minute…do you have an idea what the name of this company is?" I asked Sofiya.
"No, I overheard the news from some students, it might be a rumor you know"
"It might be a rumor and here you are screaming in excitement" I face palmed.
"Come on, I wasn't interested when I heard them talking about it, but immediately I heard HANDSOME, my ears stood up" she giggled.
I stared at her with DISGUST written all over my face.
"What, what's up with that look?"
"You never told me you were into old and grumpy men" I walked forward.
"Wait a second!... I never said I was into old and grumpy men, Amelia!" she caught up with me.
"What…aren't CEOs always old and grumpy men?"
"Handsome…I said handsome!... I can't believe this is coming from someone who called her fling Hot, Sexy, Manly, Handsome, Tall, huge di-"
"Shut up Sofiya!!" I hurriedly covered her mouth as I looked around, luckily some students passing didn't pay us any attention. I sighed in relief.
"Run Sofiya…cause if you don't you're dead meat!"
She chuckled as she ran away.
DURING CLASS
It was our third period of class.
I and Sofiya sat next to each other chit chatting while students who weren't for the next class walked out.
A few minutes later Principal Martins walked in with a few other school directors. I was surprised when I saw there were like 20 school directors with some unfamiliar-looking faces who gathered by the teachers' desks.
Even our teacher was surprised as well. We were just 30 students studying for the next class as everyone had left.
"What's happening, why many directors?" Sofiya looked at them.
"I don't know what's happening either," I said as I looked at the directors.
I was in shock when I spotted Mr. Lewis (My Dad's friend at his company)
What was he doing here…this only means one thing and I wasn't ready to accept that fact.
Luckily, Mr. Lewis also scanned the class as his eyes landed on me…he waved with a smile…I also waved back.
"who's that man that waved at you, Amelia?" Sofiya whispered.
"It's My Dad's friend at his company"
"Company? You mean 7-Eleven right?" Sofiya's eyes widened.
"Yes…what's wrong?"
"I knew I was right Amelia!... I told you earlier, a handsome CEO is coming today!" Sofiya squealed. I stared at her in shock, could this be true?
I suddenly remembered last night when Leonard told me he had a surprise for me…could he be the CEO coming today?
My heart raced just by the thought of seeing Leonard at my school.
"I want everybody to settle down, after now no student is allowed to go out or come In," Principal Martins said sternly while scanning the classroom.
Everyone in the class began whispering to each other… I gripped my pen tightly as I nervously looked towards the door.
Footsteps could be heard nearby, everyone was feeling tensed and uneasy…I wasn't an exception as cold sweat dripped from my forehead…the footsteps got louder in my ears…I knew that footstep, It felt familiar…
I shut my eyes as I gripped my pen tightly until it broke into two…
"Hey Amelia, you good?" Sofiya whispered and I nodded in response.
Immediately I could feel a sharp pain on my shoulder as Sofiya slapped my shoulder continuously…
"Amelia!, Amelia look! Amelia look!"
