While the lecture was going on, Eleanor’s mind drifted away. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was going to happen that night. After hearing the news of the intended dinner, she went back to school to speak with Gavin but he’s nowhere to be found.
“And that’s it for today’s class.” The lecture said and students began to exit the hall. Eleanor met Bryan outside who seemed like he was waiting for someone.
“Hey Bryan, have you seen Trice?” She asked worriedly.
“She went home early, it seems she must have gotten it a fight. The school told dad about it and she was asked to come home.” Bryan explained and Eleanor furrowed her brows.
“A fight? What fight?”
“See for yourself.” Bryan responded while giving her a hand gesture to turn around. Eleanor did so and saw Salma coming out of the hall with her bruised face.
“Salma! What happened to you?!” She exclaimed in shock but Salma just glared at her.
“You can gloat all you want, Queen. Just wait and see, I’ll surely make you pay.” She said to Eleanor before walking away and ignoring Bryan for the first time. She would rather fall into a trash bin that let him see her face like that.
Eleanor turned to Bryan with a perplexed expression. “Did Trice do that?” She asked and Bryan bobbed his head.
“I’m not surprised, she’s always like that when someone hurts the people she cares most about.” Bryan said with a loving smile on his face and Eleanor chuckled softly. She was happy that Beatrice had stood up for her but she didn’t like the fact she would get in trouble because of her.
“What’s going on?” Jake asked when he spotted them outside.
“I’m heading home first.” Bryan responded and left before they could say anything else.
“Babe have you seen Gavin?” Eleanor asked but Jake just stared at her with a grin on his lips. “What?” Eleanor furrowed her brows.
“Babe? I like the sound of that.” He said then placed a soft kiss on her lips. Eleanor blushed slightly but snapped out of it when she remembered her earlier question.
“Gavin… Have you seen him?” She asked again and Jake paused for a while, thinking of his next response carefully.
“He went home early.” He replied and Eleanor frowned.
“Why is everyone leaving early? Did he get into trouble as well?” She asked worriedly. Jake just stared at her face, he could tell she was worried about Gavin and that somehow bothered him. If Eleanor finds out Gavin took the blame for her, it would only make her worry even more.
“Are you worried about him?” He asked before he could stop himself and Eleanor furrowed her brows.
“He got into trouble?! Is that it?!” Eleanor exclaimed and began panicking as well. “Did he fight someone as well? His parents would give him a hard time over that! What happened to him?” Eleanor kept rambling that she didn’t notice the slightly hurt look on Jake’s face which disappeared almost immediately.
“He’s fine, Eleanor. He just had to take care of something.” Jake said and she let out a sigh of relief then brought out her phone and sent a quick text to Gavin.
“This is the fifth message I’m leaving in his inbox but he still hasn’t responded that’s why I got worried. He won’t even take my calls.” Eleanor said and Jake brought out his phone and tried Gavin but it only went to voicemail.
“That’s odd. Did they take his phone away?” He muttered to himself.
“What?” Eleanor asked but Jake shook his head negatively.
“It’s nothing. Are you hungry? I know a really good restaurant —”
“I’ll take you up on that some other time, babe. I need to go somewhere.” Eleanor quickly cut him off and gave him a peck before rushing off. Jake stared at her, feeling a bit confused but just shook his head to get rid of any misleading thoughts.
“Hey you.” Meghan called from behind and Jake turned around to see her standing behind him, her hands crossed under her chest.
“What now?” He asked dryly.
“Don’t you think you’re being a little hard on yourself, Jay-jay? You deserve better than that… Thing—”
“If you have nothing more to say then I’d like to leave.” Jake cut her off and turned around but Meghan walked up to his front.
“When will you come back to your senses, Jake!” She snapped. “Eleanor is not the right one for you. She can’t possibly understand you, understand your needs like I do! You’re not you when you’re with her, it’s like you’re trying to be someone deserving of her when truly she’s the one who doesn’t deserve you!” Meghan yelled and Jake let out a scoff.
“And I’m guessing you’re the one who deserves me?” He asked and Meghan suddenly wrapped her hands around his waist as she began to move them up and down his back.
“I know you better than anyone else, Jay-jay. I know the kind of girls you like to be with, I know your weak spot, I know how you like to be touched.” She whispered as she brought her hand towards his chest and began moving lower but Jake held her hand and gently pushed her back.
“Just stop this, Meghan. Things between us didn’t work out because you did things that hurt people. You hurt Lisa simply because you thought she liked me—”
“And I was right!” Meghan snapped but Jake simply rolled his eyes.
“Can you hear yourself? You sound delusional!” Jake snapped this time around.
“Really? Then tell me I’m also delusional about this!” Meghan yelled then showed Jake a picture on her phone.
“Where did you get that?” Jake asked as he stared at the photo in shock.
“Do you still think I’m delusional?” Meghan asked angrily.
“That was a long time ago for f-__-ks sake!”
“Does Gavin know about it? I bet even your precious Eleanor doesn’t know about it. You cheated on me with that wh-_-re and expected me to just do nothing?” Meghan asked, her voice filled with genuine sadness.
“It wasn’t intentional. We were wasted and you didn’t even talk to me about it but ended up taking things too far. I’m sure you’re also responsible for what happened with Eleanor. You can’t keep doing things like this Meghan. Just move on already!” Jake said while running his hand through his hair in a frustrated manner.
“If you want me to move on, call it off with Eleanor. Tell her it was a mistake and come back to me.” Meghan said and Jake let out a chuckle.
“Can you hear yourself? Why would I do that?”
“Because if you don’t, I’ll make her life here a living hell. I’ll torment her everyday until she goes crazy and jumps off a cliff.” Meghan said with a determined look on her face.
Jake closed the space between them, his eyes burning in rage. “End it here, Meghan. You do as much as touching a single hair strand on her hair, I’ll come for you.” He warned and even though Meghan knew he was serious, she wasn’t ready to let it go so easily.
“You very much I like a challenge. Her friend should have thought twice before beating up my sister. An eye for an eye right, Jay-jay?” Meghan asked then clicked her tongue before walking away. Jake stared at her retreating back until she was out of view then let out a frustrated sigh.
He had no idea this was all because of what happened in the past between him and Lisa . He simply assumed Meghan was being so possessive of him that she began scaring off every girl who does as little as stare at him. It seems no secret can remain hidden for that long but that’s in the past now, he has moved on from that but still, he couldn’t let Gavin know about it.

“Shopping? All of a sudden?” Rosita asked, feeling a bit perplexed.
“I just feel like I don’t have the perfect dress for tonight’s dinner. I don’t want Gavin’s parents to look down on us.” Eleanor said with pout and Rosita frowned.
“Since when did you start thinking like that? You already have beautiful evening dresses, Lizzy.” Rosita said and Eleanor let out a frustrated sigh.
“I just don’t get it. Why would they want to see us all of a sudden?” She asked and Rosita smiled.
“Are you that nervous to see them again, you know, since it’s likely that you and Gavin will become a thing?” Rosita asked with a smirk and Eleanor widened her eyes.
“What?! No! That’s not it, and besides, Gavin already has a girlfriend.” She responded immediately.
“Oh? I’m so sorry sweetheart.” Rosita said with a sad expression.
“Don’t be. I also have a boyfriend.” Eleanor said with a cheeky smile and Rosita widened her eyes.
“You do? Who is he? Do I know him? Have I met him? How did you get over Gavin so fast?” She kept asking so many questions that Eleanor didn’t even know which one to answer first.
“I promise to tell you all about him but that would be when we get back. We’re late.” Eleanor reminded but Rosita frowned.
“You’re the one who wanted to go shopping this late and now you’re saying we’re late? If you think I’m going to let this go then you’re mistaken young lady.” Rosita said with a pout then left Eleanor’s room to go get changed.

“Are you sure I look okay?” Eleanor asked for the fifth time. She wore a white lacy floral dress that stopped just above her knees then white ankle flat boots to match. Her hair was packed in a bun with a few stands let loose to adorn her side face.
Rosita let out a frustrated groan. “Relax, Lizzy. It’s just dinner.” She said as she pulled over at the gate. After a while, the gate automatically opened for them to drive in.
Eleanor took deep breaths while they made their way to the front door. Rosita rang the doorbell and after a while, the door opened and Eleanor gasped.
“You!” she exclaimed.
