AVA - CHAPTER 55&56
****************************
(★*Forgiveness *★)
The students filed out while master Seth went to his office accompanied by the crying harley.
They entered his office and he settled down on his chair while Harley stood.
“Harley, I know you’re not like this, I mean framing people like this, why did you do it?” He asked, his eyed boring deep into hers which sent shivers down her spine.
“So that you both would h@?? her.” She simply said looking away unfazed at his earlier reaction. As far as she’s concerned, he won’t dare do anything to her.
“So we would h@?? her?” Seth repeated confused. He furrowed his brows and stared at her.
“Well, I stumbled on your discussion with oliver a few days back, I found you love Ava and I know you don’t have a chance in winning her heart, so I thought about something that would make you guys h@?? her and forget about her.” She explained.
Seth stared at her shocked, his eyes widened in horror.
This wasn’t the Harley he knows.
His Harley is a loving, sweet and has almost all the good potential and qualities you’d evert think a girl could have but now she was the opposite of what she use to be.
He sighed. “Its all my fault, I wasn’t there for you, I neglected you and you’ve to be initiated by your peer groups.” He said sadly.
Had it been death hadn’t been cruel to take away her mother….to take his heartbeat, all this wouldn’t have been happening.
“Why death!!!” Seth said as tears trickled down his eyes.
“Dad please not now, even though Ava accepts you , I won’t let you marry her, she’s too young to be my step mother.” Harley said rolling her eyes. In as much as she h@??s seeing her dad in tears, she couldn’t help but say her mind.
“Will you keep quiet.” He yelled and she flinched.
“Dad you’re shouting at me.” She cried and he glared at her.
“You’re going to apologize to Ava in front of everyone plus you’re grounded for a week.” He uttered furiously. Heavens knows how much he’s trying to keep his anger in control.
“Daaaaaad!!!!” Harley cried stomping her feet on the floor. “Not fair dad, am your daughter for crying out loud.” She said as tears slipped out of her eyes.
“And as my daughter, you’re expected to be of good behaviour and treat your fellow kind with love and not the opposite.” He said through gritted teeth.
“Am vexed enough Harley, don’t push me to the wall.” He said dismissing her with a wave of his hands.
“And Harley am going to pay more attention at you, Malcolm complained about you.” He said stopping her and she sighed.
She walked out while he sat back staring at the door for a while before he faced the pile of work on his table.
★The Garden★
They all sat down discussing about the event that happened earlier in the day.
“I still don’t believe why Harley would do this to me. I mean I didn’t offend her.” Ava said bitterly, she was at the verge of crying and it took all her self control not to let it spill out.
“And if not for the timely intervention of Bethel, you would have been punished for someone else deed.” Isabella said shaking her head.
“Now I don’t know who’s more devilish in Harley and Amelia.” Anabella said.
“Harley is more devilish because Amelia showed her character without hiding it while Harley played the innocent girl while in actual fact she is devilish.” Isabella said thoughtfully.
“Harley is the exact definition of a green snake under a green grass.” Twinkle spat out and Ava just hissed.
“At least you both are the sane, no difference.” Ava said and she sighed.
“Look…I know what I did was wrong and am suppose to trust you as my friend but instead I did the opposite.” Twinkle said standing up.
“Am sorry Ava, I promise to trust and defend you from now.” She said and embraced her forcefully, Ava struggled to release her hold but twinkle held her firm, she relaxed and bugged her after a while.
“Friends?” Twinkle asked and Ava smiled.
“Friends.”
“Here the devil comes.” Anabel said motioning to Harley who was a few distance away from them.
‘Let’s ignore her.” Twinkle said and they all turned their face towards the other direction.
“We aren’t interested in wh@??ver you’re here to say.” Charlie said scoffing.
She sighed and rubbed her fingers.
“Let’s listen to what she has to say first, there might be a reason for what she did.” Eddie said and they stared at him.
Harley stared at them before going down on her knees, her palms clasped together.
“Ava, have got no explanation to what I did, my intentions were pure and I don’t h@?? you but I just couldn’t take it, you were indirectly hurting someone and I foolishly acted that way. Please find place in your heart to forgive me.” Harley begged. Now she was more than sorry for doing that, she h@??d herself.
How would they see her after this?, would that mutual live between them still exist?, would they still trust her? Ohhhh God how did all this escape her mind.
She knew they were discussing about her before she came and she could sense the bitterness and hatred by mere looking at them.
They had loved and trusted her as a friend and all she could do was to let them down.
Ava thought deeply and she knew the person she was referring to she hurt was no other person than Seth but what confused her the more was the relationship between the both of them
“How does this got to affect Harley.” she thought briefly before looking up.
She bent down and and held Harley, she pulled her up and hugged her.
“Have forgiven you from the bottom of my heart.” She simply said.
Everyone stared and had no tojer choice than to forgiver her also.
Slowly they began hugging her one by one.
★swimming pool★
A figure walked down the pathway that led to the swimming pool.
She stopped in front of the pool and contemplated on jumping in.
She stared in the water and a figure caught her attention. He was swimming professionally in the pool and she couldn’t help but wonder who he was.
She sat down at the edge of the pool and the figure knowingly entertained her with his swimming ski||s.
He turned and their eyes met each other, he smiled and swam towards her.
Lilian eyes glued to his body. “Ohh my, his chest, his biceps, his cute red lips now can someone be this handsome.’ she thought staring at him.
His hairs got stuck at his face making him look dangerously handsome.
She unconsciously licked her lips.
“I know am hot and breath taking but don’t stare too much.”He smirked and came out sitting close to her. He picked his clothes and dried his body.
She scoffed. “Not even handsome to my liking.” She rolled her eyes.
“But still you can’t take your eyes off me.” He said smirking the more.
“As if there’s anything interesting and attractive on your body.” She scoffed.
“My lips, bet you wanna have a taste of it.” He said and leaned forward as if wanting to kiss her, her lips parted slightly inviting his.
He drew back and smirked, Then burst out laughing
“You.” She yelled pointing a finger at him. She frowned and kept on frowning until her face turned red, she raised her fist to hit him but he caught it on time and stood up running, she chased him and he ran away.
He quickly dived into the water and she stood at the edge bitting her fingers in annoyance.
He brought his head out and stuck his tongue at her, she yelled and kicked her feet into the air.
★Evening ★
Twinkle just rolled on her bed unable to sleep. She placed the pillow over her head and after a minute she flung it off.
She rubbed her eyes, she was feeling sleepy but can’t sleep.
She sighed and put on her flip flops, she quietly opened the door and went out.
Luckily for her the door to his room was opened, she sliooed in and was shocked to meet charlie staring at her.
She smiled and walked closer to him. “Did you miss me.” She whispered.
“What are you doing here?” He asked ignoring her question.
“I can’t sleep sugar.” She pouted, her eyes were ead and weka bit she can’t sleep.
“Please sugar sing me a lullaby.” She said making baby faces t him.
“Are you a baby?” He raised an eyebrow at her and she nodded.
“Please.” She blinked cutely smuggling closet to him.
He turned and wrapped his hands around her waist, he planted a kiss on her forehead and slowly he began singing.
