Jasmine POV
I woke up happy because its school day again. My last year as a high school student. I study at One of the most famous schools here in America .
Because of our clothing business I was still able to study at a famous and well known school. I can not say that my family struggled too send me to such a famous school.
I was excited to come in this Monday. When I woke up, I went to my bathroom and take a bath myself in the bathroom immediately. And I finally put my uniform on. And I came down to eat breakfast before going to school.
I saw my mom eating with my only brother when I went downstairs.
When I got to our dining table, I greeted them.
"Good morning brother. - Good morning mommy. I satated.
"Hello, sweetheart." My mother said that. With smile in her lips widespread.
I also smile.
But my brother is cold, He said to me, "What's good in the morning," the evil of his greeting. He told me that.
So when I heard what he said, I lost my smile, because he ruined my good mood.
So I sat down to eat so I could go to school.
. My older brother and I both completed eating at the same time. That is why my mother told my brother to drive me to school because she uses my car, but he does not. I follow him up to our house's parking lot.
"I don't want to drive, so take me with you, brother. Mommy told you to take me with you. Because she'll be driving in my automobile." With a pitying effect on my eyes, I said.
And it worked because he consented...
We were only a few minutes away from being in front of the main school gate...
When I got out into the car and I spotted my best friend standing at the gate's entry, so I waved to him.
I rushed as quickly as I could go to my best fried.
"Hello, good morning, and have a wonderful Monday." I stated it with a smile on my face when I approach him.
"It's the same for you my best friend." Jordan McGraw remarked.
Jordan McGraw is the son of a well-known lawyer in this country.
He is the brightest student in our class. If he does not appear to be formed and is labeled as a nerd because he always wears an eyeglass, he is a nerd.
Jordan and I were overjoyed to enter the gate and immediately began discussing our summer vacation.
"Have you seen Tricia yet, Jordan?" I inquired as to whether we were in the school hallway.
"Perhaps not just yet. It's first day school maybe she's hasn't home already" He stated his case.
"Perhaps he hasn't returned from vacation yet." As I previously stated
"Jasmine, please. Let's take a look around the classroom." Jordan was a huge supporter of mine...
"All right, let's go." I stated it once again.
as we walked together to go our classroom...
We had just walked in the door and were instantly perplexed as to why our classroom was so silent.
Because they've set up a new trap for us...
When Jordan first opened the door, The door slammed shut behind us. From the top, a bucket of water. We couldn't speak straight immediately since we were dripping wet like chicks when we were surprised... Screaming in its purest form What we heard...so Jordan and I left and went to the washroom to change our clothing since we didn't want to argue on the first day of Scholl.
Jordan went to the boy restroom as I went to the girl restroom.
I heard someone talking in the next cubicle while I was getting dressed in my cubicle.
"Do you know Billy Johnson, the well-known adolescent Hollywood actor?"
"Why did you ask me that, who doesn't know a famous actor?"
"Because he is now promoting her new film... I'm excite. girl Let's go to the cinema today let's watch.
"Ok girl. Let's go."
And the laughter of two girls is deafening.
"It's quite irritating." As I changed my clothes, I merely whispered to myself.
I went out as soon as I finished changing my clothes, and Jordan emerged from the boy restroom just in time.
I dashed over to him.
"Jordan, let's go home; I don't want to be in the classroom any longer." I mentioned it in hushed tones.
"Let's still go in Jasmine and show them that simply because of what they did to us earlier, we'll never be able to return home." He takes a step back and raises his eyes.
"I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been your best friend. I smiled as I said, "You're so bold."
"What a stroke of luck!" You're implying that you've been unlucky. They don't bully you if we're not maybe best friends." He murmured this as he wrapped his arms around himself.
"Perhaps if we're not friends, you won't have to deal with our classmates' bullying." He stated his case.
" Hey, buddy, let's get this drama over with. I patted his shoulder once and giggled softly.
We both burst out laughing.
We didn't get into our first subject since we were talking in front of the restroom, and we took a long time. So we went directly to the canteen for a bite to eat.
While Jordan and I were queuing, someone unexpectedly entered us, and it was none other than Jordan's and her group of bullies. James Lawrence was their leader's .
James Lawrence is the son of the principal of this school. As a result, he was a fearless bully. In terms of appearance, he is attractive, cool, and a womanizer.
Luke Moore and Lance Moore were the names of his aides. They are identical twins. Likewise, the evil of their mindsets is multiplied.
When they entered the queue, we paid no attention to them. They remained unsatisfied.
Because James poured a can of soft drink on Jordan's head after they bought their food. As he poured Jordan a refreshing soft drink, when James continued to giggle.
I just suddenly, I punched him in the face as a result of my shock.
Jasmine POV
When I punched James in the face, the entire canteen erupted in laughter.
Is it because of the intensity of my blow that he went down, and because of his rocking, he didn't stand up right away, and if his companions hadn't forced him to stand up, and I could feel the wrath in his eyes in the way he stared at me...
"That's the problem with you; your behavior is so horrible."
As it stands, I yell at James.
"Is that Jasmine?" "I'm pursuing females." He said something while folding his arm. And his eyes are becoming redder.
The students in the canteen screamed again after James finished speaking.
"I don't give a damn." I said this while pointing at him with my finger. "As you know, I've been putting up with all your rubbish. Do you realize that you're just brave because you're the son of the school's principal? With my eyes straining, I said.
The students screamed once more.
His friends intervened just as James and I were going to be punched.
"Hey friend, that's a girl, don't punch her; if you do, you'll be damned; you'll just hit back in another way." One of the twins, Lance remarked.
"Okay, punch me in the face. I'll inform your principal's parents about you ".. My mouth was wide open when I said it.
But he just like a devil me. While I'm talking.
So I took Jordan away from the canteen after I finished fighting with James, and even though we were outside the canteen, I could still hear the students' screaming.
We stopped and sat down when we arrived at the school park... But, because his t-shirt was soaked, I urged you to take his garments.
I took my second extra t-shirt to give him as he was re-moving his t-shirt.
I was digging through my backpack for an additional t-shirt. Jordan spoke out out of nowhere, and I locked my gaze on his.
. "You impressed me, Jasmine." He said it with a look of amazement on his face.
"What is Jordan, exactly? That moment, I was quite jittery." I said it with a quiet giggle.
I just took a chance. He's quite irritating. We've been bullies since we were freshmen, after all. That's his symbol, and he hasn't changed. As I previously stated
Jordan burst out laughing. I was laughing as well.
The bell for our second subject rung correctly after Jordan's clothing were changed.
And we were in the corridor when we heard the whispers. On the other hand, we'll just keep walking straight and ignore the students.
Before walking inside, we took a big breath as we neared our classroom.
I'm afraid James may retaliate against me because of what I did to him.
But I'm glad he didn't retaliate straight soon, because I'm the one who was retaliated against.
Our second subject got deafeningly quiet.
In addition, we will discuss the following topics.
When the afternoon rolled along, James had still not retaliated in our classes, and he was unusually silent, so I couldn't be complacent because I knew him well. The man who wasn't just fighting for the sake of fighting.
Because James didn't respond when I punched him earlier, the afternoon ended without anything horrible occurring to Jordan or me.
Jordan drove me home after class because I didn't have a car.
Then when we arrived at in front of my house I say goodbye to him before I get out in his car.
There was a bustle when I entered our house since I think my parents were fighting.
I went to my room carefully so they wouldn't notice I was there.
I felt relieved as soon as I entered my room, so I changed my clothing and grabbed my phone, which I used to go into my social network account.
But, to my surprise, when I opened my account, I immediately saw the viral video on the school's Facebook page, which shows me punching James in the school canteen. To avoid thinking about it, I simply logged out and dialed my friend's number.
To inquire about what he had observed on the school's social media. He was quick to return my call.
"Hello Jordan," Have you seen our viral video with James when I punched him,?
I see on social media! You know, I'm embarrassed that I won't be able to go in tomorrow because it's the first day of school, and I'm going viral right away." In a tense tone of voice, I said.
.
"Calm down, Jasmine, don't be alarmed. Just come with me to school tomorrow and don't stay away from me. Most importantly, we'll avoid them." He stated his case.
"I sincerely hope not.." His vengeance on me, I'm sure, is a source of embarrassment for his parents, particularly for our principal. In a deep voice, I said.
"You know what Jasmine." Just remember that I'm right here with you, and no matter what happens, we'll be brave and meet them head on. We're not going to lose to your cocky ones. "Just fighting Jasmine." He added a faint laugh to his statement.
"All right, friend, thank you for your words of encouragement.
"By the way my friend my mother call me Bye friend, I'll call you later." In a toneless voice, I said.
"All right, friend, bye." He stated his case.
Then I'll drop the call.
They were all seated at the dining table when I arrived. So I went straight in the dinning table for me to eat.
When I sit down, I have the impression that I am not eating properly, because formerly, when we ate, we would always talk about what we had done throughout the afternoon, but now there is no such conversation. Then after I eating, I decided to say goodbye. But when I'm talking there's no one respond me.
So I believe our family is having an issue again because I heard several parents fighting when you got to our house, but I didn't pay attention.
But when I stood up my daddy called my name as I stood up.
'Come to my study room later, Jasmine, and we can discuss.' He didn't look at me when he said it.
"Yes, daddy," I replied. I give my response even I don't know what we were talking.
"Can I go first, daddy?" I inquire.
He simply nodded.
I was curious as to why he wanted to speak with me, my daddy, so I turned to my mother for an explanation, but she just smiled, and when I turned to my oldest brother, he just shrugged.
So I sighed softly and walked away from the dining room table.
Jasmine POV
I went directly to my room since I couldn't understand why daddy wanted to talk to me.
So I'm scared because daddy is the type of father that only speaks to you in secret when he has something important to say.
I'm too nervous to be bothered, so maybe daddy see the viral video of me punching James in hid face at school page in social media so that he want to talked to me wants to talk to me about that viral video. I'm so very nervous.
"I sincerely hope not." I murmured in the void.
When there was a quick knock on my door as I was walking into my room, I leapt in fear and looked at my door.
And when the person on the other side of my door spoke, I opened it right away.
"Jasmine daddy is calling." My brother expressed his thoughts.
And all I did was nod.
My older brother then turned around to depart, and I followed him slowly.
I was the only one who headed towards daddy's study room before knocking after we parted ways. I took a big breath and exhaled slowly.
When I knocked, daddy told me to come in right away. As a result of the fact that the door is open.
So I cautiously opened and closed the door, and when I turned around, I noticed my father seated in his swivel chair, staring at me intently.
Mommy was sitting in a chair beside daddy, and when I looked at her, she just smiled.
I walked up to them slowly and sat down in the chair in front of daddy's table.
As soon as I sat down, I noticed that daddy took a long breath before speaking.
."Jasmine I've summoned you because I have something vital to communicate to you." While staring at me, he said.
"What it's daddy?" I inquire, yet I am apprehensive...
"Jasmine, our company is going bankrupt." He stated his case.
When I hear daddy say something, my eyes start to tear up.
And it's more painful for Daddy to express than I had anticipated.
"I'm not going to study anymore, Daddy." I inquire in a brittle voice.
"You're still studying Jasmine," mommy replied, "but..."
And I fixed my gaze on her. With astonishment in my eyes.
"You're still studying, Jasmine," he explained, "but you have to marry Mr.'s son, Johnson's."
And I was taken aback by what my father said...
No, I screamed, and then I stung.
Mommy and daddy were taken aback by my behavior and did not react right away.
As a result, I became aware of my reaction. So I sat down gently and apologized.
"I'm sorry for my negative reaction, mommy and daddy, but I genuinely don't want to get married I'm still young I don't want a commitment." I avert my gaze.
I felt someone caress my back and looked up to see Mommy's beaming face in my eyes as she continued to caress my back.
When Daddy spoke, my attention was drawn back to him.
"Please accept, Jasmine, believe me, I also don't want you to marry at your young age. But I'm hoping that if you grant my request, it's not just in our business save it's also for you, Jasmine, and when you marry him my daughter. I won't worry anymore because I know your life will be good with him. " He spoke in a calm tone.
"Daddy, don't you think I'm too young to marry someone that I don't know or even see him, and how can you say that maybe my life will just be horrible with him when we get married.
Others who fall in love before marriage do not get along well.
"How can we get married without knowing each other and only now meet." I described my voice as brittle.
"Jasmine, you are our only hope for our family's desire to invest in our business so that it does not go bankrupt, but when you marry his son, that's all he wants. When you give it to me. My request is that I don't want you and your brother and your mommy to see you having a hard time in life. "He leaned back and looked up.,'
He takes a step back and raises his eyes.
I feel nailed to my seat because my head is a complete wreck, and tears will always fall, little by little.
"I'm so sorry, Jasmine, if only there was another way for us to save our company, but there isn't. Getting married is the most effective strategy for our company to avoid total collapse." My mother murmured something to me, and I gently stood up, turning to face her, and she hugged me tightly.
But I couldn't stop crying when Mommy and I hugged.
My Mother stroked my back as I cried. And I'm relieved in some way.
When I heard what my father said, I just let go of mommy's grip.
"Jasmine, I don't need your opinion right now; my ultimate decision is your be getting married as soon as possible; return to your room, and we'll have a family meal with your soon-to-be husband and his family tomorrow at our house."
He said it in a frigid tone and then walked over to the window, where he didn't say anything else and simply stared out the window.
After hearing what daddy said, I just closed my eyes tightly. I couldn't say anything because I was speechless. And I couldn't even say goodbye to mommy because I went out sobbing, and I didn't even turn around when my mother called my name.
I went to my room to cry when I got there.
"I despise this existence." I mumble something.
Because of my frustration, I was thrown into my other possessions in my room.
I can't fathom them making that decision in my life, and I grew up to be a decent daughter to them.
But I can't expect them to organize a married for me where I marry someone I don't know and have never met.
I just cried and screamed until I finally fell asleep in my bed. I was completely unaware that I had fallen asleep. because I'd had enough of crying.
