Chapter 2 The new kid

"Mom, dad, Anel please wake up!" She shook her family to wake up. Her hands were soaked with blood.

"Somebody please help!" She screamed.

"Helllppp!!"

Quinifa woke up panting heavily from the dream she just had.

She is an orphan, her family was assassinated right in front of her during a rain storm. She had managed to escape.

That's the more reason why she feels comfortable and not alone in the rain.

Since then Rosalie has been the one taking care of her and her parents properties. She was not allowed to handle them yet.

"You're still too young for that" her father's lawyer had said. "You should wait till you're 19 or 20".

She has been really waiting since she was 14.

She stood up from the bed and made her way to the bathroom. Did her morning routine and shuffled to the kitchen to brew her early morning coffee.

She sat on the kitchen stool, her phone rang.

"Quinnnn" Mia screamed as Quin answered the phone call.

It was Mia calling, she wanted to tell Quinifa to accompany her to the mall to get some stuffs.

"Why are shouting my name like that?" Quin snapped, she was pissed off.

Although Mia was her best and only friend, her attitude sometimes sucks.

"I'm sorry but you should know that you're too cold, respect the fact that I'm your only friend!" Mia replied tearing up.

"Alright! Tell me why you're calling" Quin asked getting impatient, she had other things to do.

"Uhm-- I'd like us to go shopping, I need some toiletries and other--" she was interrupted by Quin.

"Alright pick me up by 10, don't be late"

"Okay" Mia hung up, feeling happy.

The cold air of the bustling New York City greeted Jason as he alighted from the airplane, rolling his luggage behind him.

He was back to NYC again..

He has come back to finish his uncompleted business he had left behind.

He placed his phone on his ear receiving a phone call.

"I can't see you" he said looking around the airport.

A blonde guy waved from a part of the airport smiling.

Jason smiled too "I've seen you".

He ended the call and rolled his luggage to where his old friend, Aiden stood.

They did their bro handshake and hugged themselves...

"What's up bro" Aiden greeted.

"Fine,how have you been?. You look good!" Jason replied.

"Com'on" Aiden jabbed Jason's arm "California's sun did a really good job on you" he pointed out and They laughed.

Aiden placed Jason's luggage in the booth of his range Rover. They both entered into the car and zoomed off.

Since Aiden lived alone, Jason was going to live with him together in his house.

They have been good friends since childhood but a foggy and shady past which they pretend not to remember separated both of them for years.

But now Jason is back they were going to rebuild and maintain their relationship.

They got to Aiden's house. The house keeper rushed out to welcome her master and his friend.

"Good day sirs" she greeted.

"How are you Maria?" Aiden asked, smiling.

"I'm fine Sir" she replied and helped them in taking Jason's luggage to the master bedroom upstairs.

Aiden and Jason entered the house and watched Maria disappeared into the stair.

"Who is she?" Jason asked, sitting down.

Aiden chuckled "The house keeper"

"Hmmm if you say so" Jason teased and they laughed.

"Do make yourself comfortable" Aiden uttered.

Quin and Mia walked out of the mall with some shopping bags in their hands.

"Ugh--I'm so tired" Mia whimpered, sitting on a stone beside the car park.

"Mia we should leave. I have to meet Rosalie" Quin replied.

Mia stomped her foot on the ground and head to the car park without Quin.

Quin shook her head and rush to meet her best friend.

The next day came, Quin got ready for school and drove in her SUV to school.

She got down from her car and walked into the big school building.

Mia rushed to meet her.

"Quinifa" she called out and Quin turned.

"Good morning Mia" she greeted.

"Good morning Quinnn" Mia beamed. "Quin there's a rumour going around that there is a new guy in the school".

Quin only hummed in reply as they walked together to homeroom.

"They also said he was going to be in our class!" She squealed, Making Quin to stop walking.

"Would you stop talking about that guy!. You have not seen him yet but you keep talking about him, what if you finally see him?!" She said in a speed that made her think she would bite her tongue.

Mia kept quiet and they walked quietly to homeroom.

As usual, homeroom was noisy but the noise died down a little as Quin entered.

Mia and Quin sat down and the noise begun again.

Few minutes later, the teacher entered the class and the noise died down again.

"Good morning students!" Mr James, grade 12 teacher greeted the students.

"Good morning sir!" The class chorused, standing up.

"You may take your sits" Mr James ordered and started roll call..

"Elena McLintock'

"Sarah Finn"

"Ashton Baxter"

"Quinifa Sheldon"...

Soon, he was done with roll call.

"I'm sure you have heard of the news about the new student newly admitted into the school" Mr James announced.

"Yesssssss" everyone chorused.

"Jason you can come in now" Mr James ordered.

Jason sighed, opened the door and stepped one of his legs into the class...
