Chapter 4 What group reading

After lunch Ryan and I went for our other classes and I didn't find any interesting.

After our last class for the day we both packed up our things and headed for the school car park.

At the hallway, we saw a girl about our age making out with an older guy just at a corner.

''Gross!" I frowned

"I know her. She's Penelope"

''How come you know her and I don't?"

''She was at the physics class too. She introduced herself to Mr jaxon when she wanted to answer a question while you were at the restroom"

''Oh''

''She's an unfortunate bitch"

"She looks like a doll" I said seeing the heavy makeup she had applied on her face.

Other people on the hallway didn't seem to care like it was a normal thing for people to makeout in the hallway

They broke the kiss and as we got closer Penelope turned around making the orange juice she was holding spill all over my clothes.

Ryan was about to smack her on the face but I stopped him

''Didn't your mama teach you not to hit a lady?" I asked before turning to the barbie doll- Penelope.

"Don't wait for me to say sorry. I won't!" she snarled before walking off, swaying her hip left and right while the guy she was making out with followed

"She's really bitchy" I said as I stared at her until she was out of sight

"I told you. You would have just allow me give her a little something to think about"

"Don't worry your little head. We'll take care of her very soon" I said with a smirk and Ryan smirked too getting the signal

We made our way to the car park and once we were inside the car Ryan started a conversation again.

"About the freshman party. It's this night by......."

"I'm not going. Don't bother"

"I am going and you my dear friend is coming with me"

''It's not happening. With that bitch and other jerks we've met since morning? Impossible!''

''Are you saying all these just because you won't be able to have your movie marathon tonight if you go?" He teased furrowing his brows at me

"Come on. That's not the reason. I just don't want to go" I said even if that was truly the main reason

"Save that for later. We're going and that's final"

*********

I sat on the floor, folding my legs, one on the other, inside my room

I was playing a video game and I had a serious expression on as if, if I don't win I'm gonna get beaten.

"Princess come downstairs. Ryan is here. He wants you both to go out for a night reading" my dad yelled from downstairs and I paused my video game, trying to process everything

Ryan?? Night class?

"Princess?" My dad called out again and I got up and went downstairs

On getting there I saw Ryan dressed in a plain blue shirt with a black rugged jean and a pair of white canvas

I became more confused as he kept giving me a weird smile.

"Won't you say hi to your friend?" My dad asked as I just stood still, close to the stairs without saying a word

"Ryan what are you doing here?" I asked him instead.

"To come get you for the group reading"

"What group reading?"

"Come on cami. The group reading we will be having at school, you wouldn't want to miss it" he winked and I got his message immediately

He was actually talking about the freshman party, but came up with the ridiculous lies about having a group reading because of my dad, but I wasn't gonna allow my dad force me out to a party I don't wanna attend

"Come off it Ryan, there's no group reading. Dad he's lying"

"Cami stop your childish behavior this minute. Ryan is a good child. He doesn't tell lies like you so go up stairs, wear something more appropriate and follow this young man to the school"

"Dad...."

"Not a word" my dad shut me up and I just stared at him in surprise

Ryan is a good child, yes! He doesn't tell lies, yes! But he's lying now

I looked at him and smirked having an idea.

"I guess someone wouldn't mind me wearing a maternity gown to this so called group reading" I said laying some emphasis on the *GROUP READING*

"Cami!" My dad caution

"Fine" I frowned as I ran upstairs

The big head- ryan, won

Now I am going to attend a stupid freshman party all because of him.

When I got up to my room I got into the bathroom, took a quick bath and got dressed.

When I was done I was looking all gorgeous.

I was dressed in a black v-neck long gown with a long split at the side that ended at the middle of my lap

It is a plain, but sexy dress that hugged all my curves with sequence

It is a slinky material but with sophisticated sparkles

I wore a two inches black heel and ended up leaving my long hair to fall on my shoulders.

I wore some multicolor bangles on my wrist, a long shinny necklace on my neck and also a silver earrings on my ears

I then put a multicolor hairband on my hair and picked up a silver clutch which I stuffed my things in before heading downstairs.

Any which way I'm still gonna make out time for my movie marathon tonight

Getting downstairs Ryan's mouth fell wide open.

"Girl you are looking all classic. Gosh! That's alot of sparkles on your dress" he said and I just rolled my eyes

It is a good thing that my dad is no longer here.

"And where are you going to at this time?" Lincoln asked as he got into the living room.

"Group reading" I answered and rolled my eyes at Ryan who giggled

"Dressed like someone going to a party?"

"Dad said I can go"

"If you can deceive him, but not me. You can go anyways. I guess you just want to show off your dress" he said before walking out.

"I have to receive so much scolding, all thanks to you" I said with an eye roll and started towards the front door, while Ryan just followed from behind

We got to the garage and got into my car

"Where's the freshman party taking place?" I asked as he hit the road

"We aren't going"

"What do you mean by we aren't going?"

"Come on cami. Don't think I left the comfort of my home just to attend a silly freshman party. I just want us to go chill somewhere nice"

"A party or a bar?"

"A bar"

"You should have just simply said that. Gosh! Why did you have to put me in so much stress?"

"I thought you would have declined"

"Come on Ryan. You know how much I love going out. Why on earth would I decline?"

"Your movie marathon"

"Oh!"

*******

When we got to the bar that ryan had picked we were welcomed graciously by the bouncers and were taken inside

We had decided to do everything snappy and go home on time so I could still have my movie marathon.

Still standing at the entrance of the bar I could have a perfect view of everywhere

"Here's a bit noisy, let's go over to the private lounge" I screamed into his ears so he could hear me as the music was so loud.

Ryan just nodded

We were led to one of the private lounge in the large bar, by one of the bar's staff

The place wasn't so packed up, just a handful of people occupying different seats and a cool music that wasn't so loud could be heard.

I searched for an empty seat but there was none.

"Oh my goodness gracious" Ryan suddenly exclaimed

"What?" I asked and Ryan pointed at a direction and when I looked at the direction he was pointing to my mouth fell wide open, surprised at who my eyes had landed on.

It was Mr jaxon

He sat at a table close to the middle, his eyes fixed on his phone and he was sitting alone.

His outfit alone made my heart to start beating fast and his killer look could not just making me smile

"He's hot!" I didn't know when the words came out from my mouth and Ryan just stared at me in amusement

"He's your lecturer in school, so stop crushing. Now come let's go and say hi" he said as he started pulling me towards Mr Jaxon.

"Hey" I waved at him when we got to his table but he didn't spare me a glance

Humpy!

"Good evening Sir" Ryan said and that was when he looked up at us, but he didn't look surprise- not one bit

"How can I help you both?" He asked instead.

How rude.

"Erm!... There's no empty table anymore so I was thinking if we could join you" I said anyways.

"Suit yourself" was his reply

I and Ryan exchanged a knowing look before sitting.

I took the seat beside him while Ryan took the one opposite me, leaving the one opposite Mr Jaxon empty

"You came alone?" I asked trying to start up a conversation

"Isn't it obvious?" He asked back and I seriously felt like punching his face

The only thing that is saving him is that he's my lecturer and I wouldn't want anything to happen to my grades

"About the other day. You are still yet to tell me what my fate is" I said just as Ryan went to get our drinks

When he wasn't saying anything I decided to continue.

"I would really appreciate it if all these doesn't affect my grade"

"Are you here to have a drink or to talk about your grades?"

"I just wanna know"

"If you are still thinking about the incident then I advice you forget about it cause I've forgotten about that already"

"So you mean you won't fail me?"

"No. I won't, but I would if you want me to"

"No!! I wouldn't want to that"

"Friends?" I asked and he just scoffed.

A girl dressed up in a short revealing gown that ended right below her butts walked up to us and waved at Mr jaxon

It was clear that she's far older than I'm, about Mr jaxon's age

"Hi handsome. Can I join you?" She asked making me roll my eyes at her already pissed off.

Only if Mr jaxon could turn her down

"Help yourself" he said taking me by surprise and the girl sat opposite him grinning from ear to ear

The girl got into a conversation with him, though she did most of the talking, but he gave her few replies and it was eating me up.

They are discussing like they are the only ones here, as if I am invisible

All my intention was to go over to the girl and crumple her face up.

Ryan came later on with our drinks and took his seat beside the girl

He dropped his drink right in front of him and just when he was about giving me mine the girl took it from him

"I'll take that" she said but as she was about drinking it Ryan took it back from her with a frown.

"I'm sure you have legs and they are working quite well, so if you want a drink you should go get it yourself" he said to the girl before handing the drink to me and just then an idea popped into my head making me smirk

"Thank you" I said as I collected the drink from him.

"You can have it" I said to the girl with a fake smile which looked real, but before she could get a hold of the drink I purposely let go of the glass making the whole content pour on her and a little splash on Ryan

"What the fuck!" She shrieked and I tried everything possible to hide my laughter within me.

Ryan did same, but Mr Jaxon paid less attention to us

"Oh! Seems your clothes drank my drink instead" I pouted.

"How dare you?" She rasp as she sprang up and wanted to smack me across the face, but Mr jaxon took us all by surprise when he held her hand up in the air making it impossible for her to get to me

"Not while I'm here" he said plainly

Awwwn... My superman

"But..."

"Maybe you should leave now" he said interrupting her as he let go of her hand and I just couldn't help but smirk

"I don't understand. You're asking me to leave like this?" She asked referring to her stained dress.

"Which part of maybe you should leave now don't you understand?" Ryan asked

"Don't wait for me to say sorry, I won't" I snarled as the girl fixed her gaze on me, using Penelope's words

She just gritted her teeth before storming off.

Mr jaxon got up afterwards

"Are you leaving?"

"Obviously" he said and walked out

I watched him leave until he was out of sight before standing up

"Are you gonna follow him?" Ryan asked

"Obviously" I said mimicking Mr jaxon before heading out
