“Vanessa, Mr. Francisco said to take you to school ” Paul Said, holding my bag.
I walked towards his car and climbed in; I was trying to remember what went wrong, and what did I do. And then it hit me like a thunderbolt, he told me not to talk with Niall and I had dinner with him and his friends yesterday.
When I asked Enzo, he said he had his dinner and he told me that he’ll have it in the canteen, That means he saw me with them.
God, I have to talk to him after coming back from school.
I thought to myself.
Paul dropped me at school; I walked inside. The corridors were empty, I was Early. I walked towards my locker, and Suddenly someone turned me around roughly; I looked up and saw Remond’s face.
“You remember your task?” He said,
“Yes ”
“Good ”
“Why do you want me to make Zachary talk to me Remond? what’s the reason behind this? I don’t get it, why can’t you bully someone else. Why me? ” I asked,
I was already upset that Enzo was ignoring me and Remond’s stupid tasks are making me miss my classes, This is all stressful to me and I can’t handle all this.
Remond was looking at me without any expression on his face, and he wasn’t saying anything to me, when I look into his eyes I can clearly is he was hurt.
I was confused, why is he hurt?
He turned around and left me there; I signed and walked to my class and saw Zachary sitting on the last bench.
I signed again and walked to my seat and set down my bag.
I have to talk to him or else I can’t complete my English assignment.
Thank god there’s no one in my class except for me and Zachary or else it would be hard for me to talk to him.
I stood up and walked toward him; he didn’t even look at me.
I cleared my throat loudly, he then looked at me.
“Um…. Z. zachary… I. I need to…. talk… to you,” I said with great difficulty.
He didn’t say anything; he was just looking at me.
I was nervous, “say,” he said, with his deep voice.
“We need to do our English assignment together, if you don’t want to do the assignment with me, then it’s ok I’ll do it by myself.”
“Evening at four at the Library,” he said.
He continued his work, and I walked back to my seat.
I was relieved to know that he’s ok with us, working together.
Day went on, as usual, I couldn’t take Enzo’s thoughts out of my head. Enzo’s silence is affecting me so much that I couldn’t even concentrate on my surroundings nor my classes at all.
At lunch, Beth noticed my sad face and asked me why I was sad. I said its nothing; she didn’t press it.
The bell rang indicating its 4 now, I took my things and walked towards the library.
When I stepped inside it was empty, only our librarian Miss Stacy was sitting in her seat and noting something in her notebook.
I walked inside and at a corner near a bookshelf. I saw Zachary sitting on his chair, writing something.
I walked towards him sat down next to him, he looked at me for a second and continued writing without uttering a word to me and completely ignoring my presence there.
I patiently waited for him to talk, after some time he gave me a file of papers to me.
“I wrote my part and you can write remaining part,” he said very politely,
“But how did you write this? You were absent for half of the classes Zachary,” I said shocked,
“I read those previous chapters,” he said calmly.
“You read them?” I asked.
He nodded his head.
“Okay, do you have any questions, I can help you with them,” I said with a little smile on my face.
“No, I don’t,” he said,
“Okay then, bye,” I said and stood up from my seat, took my bag and turned around.
“Vennesa” Zachary called me.
I turned towards him.
“Yes,”
He didn’t say anything for a minute, and he was just looking at me.
“You.. you should stay away from Lorenzo”
“What?” I said looking at him,
He just took his things and stood up. There was a look in his eyes that I couldn’t understand, it was like he was looking at his favorite broken toy. Is it pity ?.
If Not then what is that?
He walked away from here, I was still standing there thinking about his words.
Why is everything against me and Lorenzo?
Why does everyone warn me to stay away from him?
Everything flashed through my mind, our meeting, our love for each other everything.
I couldn’t see his bad side in there, Everything I could see was love in those piercing green eyes for me.
He saved me from that monster that day, and he cared for me, he kept me in his house. He put his driver around me. Who does this nowadays? Everyone just uses you for their profit, after that; they’ll throw you out of their life like tissue paper.
But he didn’t do that, he helped me in my crucial time. He didn’t leave me alone there, he took care of me. Everything was running through my mind, and I didn’t even notice that I was outside the school and I was walking toward Paul.
Looking at me, he walked towards me, ” Venessa what happened? ” He asked with a worried expression on his face.
“Nothing… nothing…” I tried to put a smile on my face but failed miserably.
I climbed inside the car, and Paul started the engine.
“Paul, please take me to Enzo,” I said, still in the same state.
He nodded. I turned and looked outside the window. Zachary doesn’t talk to anyone, and he rarely talks to his friends. He… telling… me… to stay away from Lorenzo has a big impact on me. How come he knows that I am with Enzo if he knows why he told me to stay away from him. He doesn’t know me at all, never in our entire school life did he acknowledges me, I was a nobody. I had only one friend that was Beth. There were lots of questions running through my mind.
