Chapter 16: Chapter 16

BELLA

I was dressed up and ready to go to the studio when I suddenly felt a sharp pain beneath my abdomen. I knew it was my period knocking at the door. I couldn't go, so I sent Lucy to go tell them I couldn't make it. I took some drugs and lay down to sleep. When I woke up, Lucy wasn't back yet. I was so bored, so I picked up my phone and called Diana and Katie. We talked for a while. When the call ended, I decided to play a game to keep myself busy. I was lying on the bed playing games when Lucy walked in. I sat up. "You're back"

She sat beside me to pull off her shoes. "Yeah". She turned to face me. "You won't believe what happened when I got to the studio"

I rolled my eyes. I suspected it has to do with Jayden but I decided to ask. "What happened"

"I met your Mr. Rude"

I batted my lashes. My Mr. Rude?. "My Mr. Rude?"

She chuckled. "Jayden"

I frowned. Is she been serious right now?. "He is not my Mr. Rude"

She chuckled. "No, I don't mean it that way. I meant you gave him that name"

I sighed. "What did he do?"

She scoffed. "That guy is so rude. You won't believe he called you by your name"

I laughed. "That's Jayden for you"

"You won't believe he was asking me what you were up too"

I chuckled. "And what did you say?"

She chuckled. "I told him, You must be Mr. Rude. You are just as rude as she said"

I furrowed my brows. "You told him that?". She nodded. "What was his reaction?"

"He was so shocked"

I chuckled. "But you know that's harsh"

She smiled. "That put him in his place. By the way, how are you feeling now?"

I shrugged. "Better, I guess"

She nodded and stood up. "I'm going to the cafeteria, do you want me to get you anything?"

I nodded. "Two hotdogs and cola drink will do"

She smiled. "I will be back in a bit"

I nodded. After she left, I picked up my book to read.

I walked into the classroom. The students were chatting as usual. They kept quiet when they saw me. I scanned through the room for Jayden and Ethan. I sighted Ethan at the far end of the class but couldn't find Jayden. I wondered why he was not in school today. Ethan stared at me and smiled. He raised his hand. "Excuse me, miss"

I sighed. "Yes, Ethan"

"Can I make use of the restroom?"

I rolled my eyes. "Sure"

He walked closer to me and whispered. "Jayden is sick. He wants you to visit him"

I batted my lashes. He is sick and he wants me to visit him?. Why?. I frowned. Why would I want to visit him?. "You should head to the restroom before I change my mind" I whispered back

He smiled and raised his hands. "You win, miss"

I frowned. Why will Jayden want me to visit him?. I saw him in school yesterday. And he doesn't look sick to me. I decided to brush the feeling aside and focus on the topic at hand. "Where did we stop class?". Someone raised his hand. His head was bowed to the desk and he was wearing a hoodie, making it difficult to see his face. I wasn't too familiar with all the students yet so I felt he has to be among those I'm yet to get their names. I gestured with my hand. "Ok you. Your name first"

He stood up. "My name is Jayden"

I batted my lashes. Did he just say Jayden?. No other person bears that name except Mr. Rude. And that voice? belongs to him. I could bet I know his voice very much. He pulled off his hoodie and smirked. I blinked my eyes rapidly. Didn't Ethan tell me he was sick? And wanted me to come?. Why is he in school?

Ethan walked him and I frowned. He stared at Jayden who was explaining the last topic I wasn't listening to. He stared at me too and I glared at him. He chuckled and walked closer. "He made me do it" he whispered

I rolled my eyes. These two are pranks on me. I sighed. I will know what to do when I'm done teaching!!.

I picked up my books from the table. "That's all for today. Make sure you do my assignment and submit them at the said time"

"Yes, miss"

I sighed. "Jayden and Ethan meet me in my office"

"For what ma'am" Jayden asked

I glared at him. "Now!!!. Don't make me repeat myself" I yelled and walked out of the class. I got to my office and dropped my books. I began to pace around. I heard a knock on the door. "Come in"

Ethan and Jayden walked in. "We are here, miss," Ethan said

Jayden walked to the nearest seat and sat down. I frowned. "I did not ask you to sit down"

He shrugged. "Well, I offered myself one"

I hissed. This guy is so rude. "Get your ass off my sit" I yelled

He raised one of his legs and placed it on the table. "Chill. You don't yell at your visitor"

I rolled my eyes. I realized there was no point in arguing with him. I returned to my seat and sat down. I picked up a book and opened it. I began to go through it. "You called us ma'am," Ethan said

I dropped the book and relaxed. "Jayden, why did you send Ethan to me"

He dropped his leg and frowned. "What are you talking about?"

I hissed. "You don't need to pretend, ok?"

"I did not send Ethan to you. He might have sent himself"

Ethan frowned. "I did not send myself"

Jayden shrugged. And I frowned. "Are you, both playing pranks on me?"

"I'm not playing a prank on you. Jayden is"

I sighed. "You know what. You both you leave. There is no point calling you here"

Jayden stood up. "Are you sure you have no reason calling us here"? He touched his hair and I frowned. "You can tell us why you called us". He bit his lower lip and I groaned.

"Get out!!"

He chuckled. "Ethan, let's go". He turned to leave but stopped. He turned to face me. "I almost forgot. I was supposed to ask you this". I furrowed my brows. "Did you give me, Mr. Rude?"

I frowned. "Get out. Or I will call the securities on you"

He batted his lashes. "You won't do that"

"Dare me"

He stared at me. "Whatever" he mumbled and finally walked out.

I hissed. "Pervert". The door opened again and I frowned. "Jayden!!"
