Mr CEO’s Little Bride

Chapter 26

HIS EYES

Ruby’s Pov;

I turned slowly as if being controlled by a remote.

I was now looking straight into his dazzling eyes.

Goodness!!.

He smiled at me and I almost lost it.

For goodness sake! What does he want? He should just say it and let me return back to what I was doing.

I didn’t think I was completely in control of myself right then.

” Uhm… can I see the note?” he asked.

His voice was soft and tender… like a girl’s voice.

I was lost staring at him for a while but I had to quickly snap out of it.

” W… we are just starting” I had to tell him, and completely faced the board.

Gosh!! That was something’s.

All eyes were on us.

Why does he have to sit behind me of all places?.

I tried my best to concentrate and listen to all that the teacher was saying.

” Woah!! Isn’t he so cute?” Diane asked, looking and gushing over Louis who sat three rows away from us.

His table was packed full with girl giggling and trying to get a conversation with him.

He left more than six years ago and now he’s back when we are almost done with highschool, making him seem like a newcomer.

Things have completely changed around here but it’s a good thing he’s loved, hence, making friends won’t be a big deal for him.

I took up my head to stare at him and he choosed to look at our direction right at that minute, making our eyes run into eachother.

I flinched and brought my head down again.

” He’s still cute as ever” Diane went on.

” Tell me about it” I replied.

I looked up again to see Lily and Ivy have joined the group of girls that were sitting with him.

Good for them!!.

At least now they wont see anyone to stop them from exhibiting their dirty traits.

My eyes ran into theirs also and I gave them a deadly glare to which Ivy hissed at and Lily gave me this ‘ do your worst’ kinda look.

It seems they are forgetting who I am so soon.

The bell ran immediately making the whole students angry.

They mumbled and grumbled.

It was time for counselling class. We usually hold it every Wednesday but am guessing there are some adjustments and they want to use it make the necessary announcement regarding how the term is gonna be like.

I stood up and struggled to find my way out of the place.

Diane catwalked behind me in a funny manner.

She dressed to kill and that wasn’t badnews.

There’s no one in school that doesn’t know or love her for her fashion sense.

It’s one of the reasons I became close to her in the first place, and now, we are literally the best of friends.

” Gosh! All that boring talk again” she rolled her eyes, referring to the talk we are gonna be having fee minutes from then.

I only giggled as we hastened our footsteps.

We got to the hall and walked to the third room by the right.

” Just hope we won’t sleep here as usual” Diane whined behind me again and I couldn’t help but burst into laughter this time around.

” Just chill” I told her smiling.

She rolled her eyes again before relaxing her back on the chair.

It took a while before the rest of the students settled into the hall.

Orderliness and quietness were maintained and then, the principal – Mr Carmen, walked in.

His usual smile on his face. His charisma and unique aura clouding him like a rainy day.

” Good morning students” he said and we all chorused our reply back to him.

He grinned and continued.

” Welcome back to get another wonderful time and term with us. For some of you, this is gonna be your last term in this school” he said, referring to those in my class and I.

We smiled hard at this, finally glad we would be done with high school in a couple of weeks.

Can’t wait to get this uniform off of me. This journey has been hectic so far and I couldn’t wait to round up.

” We are looking forward to get another memorable and wonderful time with y’all”

” The events that are layed out for this term would be commencing earlier than usual as a result of some issues which we would get to discuss about as I go on”.

” But just have it at the back of your mind that we are gonna have a blast this term also” he said and the hall cheered, going mad with joy.

The students of JENNERS HIGH sure love to party and this term was filled with lots of that.

We have the prom, dinner party, social gathering, graduation ceremony, name it.

It’s definitely gonna be a blast and I’m not gonna miss any of it.

Those will be my last moments in this school so am gonna treasure them and make lots of wonderful memories.

” And also, there’s something that we would love to try out this term also and it depends on how the terms go – if there will be time for it or no; a field trip” he announced and every started mumbling and whisperings.

It has been long we went on one and we thought it was aborted from the school.

Why the sudden suggestion?.

” I know. I know what you all are talking but like I said earlier…” he was cut off my the assistant principal who came to whisper something in his ear.

He left when he was done and Mr Carmen turned back to us

” Uhm… Ruby Staffers” he called suddenly making me flinch.

What the..? What now? What did I do?.

I sluggishly stood up as I thought I was in big trouble.

What’s going on? I was so scared and prayed fervently in my heart.

” Your attention is needed” he said to me and I saw one of the teachers beckoned on me.

I left my seat and followed her out.

What the hell is going on?.

She didn’t say a word to me and just continued walking till we got outside and I saw a car parked outside.

Hold on!! This… this looks like the car that comes to drop me off every morning.

Well… I could practically call it mine because Mr Martins told me it belongs to me and a driver was only assigned to drive me anywhere I want because I don’t know how to drive yet.

My bad.

He told me to consider it his wedding gift to me.

And to be honest.

Phew!! Enough about the car.

” Good day ma’am” the driver greeted warmly as I approached him.

I was just about to ask him what he was doing in my school when he replied.

” I was asked to come pick you up and drop you at the venue” he said.

Venue? What venue?.

” What?” I asked looking completely lost.

” Fro the marriage counseling class” he said refreshing my memory.

Oohhh!! That!! I had completely forgotten all about it.

But why isn’t Nathan here?. I thought he was the one picking me up.

Goodness? What have I been thinking? Was I really expecting him to pick me up?.

I smiled and nodded before going back into the school to get my back.

I came out moments later and we were on our way in no time.

The car stopped in front of a magnificent building.

It has the build of a company but it was hard to tell what it actually was.

” So…”

” Uhm yeah. Juts walk in and tell the receptionist why you’re here. She’ll direct you on where to go” he instructed me.

” What about Nathan?” I had to ask.

I can’t go in there looking all alone like a deranged divorce woman.

Walking in there all alone? What would that even make me?.

I nodded in understanding and he bowed before taking his leave.

I walked in and did everything exactly as he had said.

The receptionist directed me to the place the class was taking place but I didn’t go.

According to her, I was early.

Anyway, I would gone inside to at least wait for Nathan but I decided to wait outside so we go in together when the class starts.

I sat on a chair at the hall, waiting patiently for him.

I used that time to reminisce on all that has transpired in school.

The pains from yesterday was gone but I was still feeling weak and drowsy from the menstrual stuff.

I can’t wait for it to finish already. My life is already hard as it is. Why did it have to come now?.

I suddenly started hearing screams, shouts and some other noise that made me feel like I was gonna pass out anytime soon.

What the hell is going on? And why are they screaming this way?.

I was annoyed but it was shortlived when my eyes came in contact with his.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
