Nicholas's POV

**3 minutes..
I read the last text I had sent to her last night. I moved to the rail, rested my back on it and typed a text to her.
**What do you think is a better punishment for disobedience..
I waited for a response.
**A sack letter
My brows furrowed.
**Agreed. How about I add a jail term to it since you still owe me.
It took minutes before a reply came.
**No!.. That would be completely inhuman!
I smiled.
**Good thing I'm not human, so it's fair.
**No! I mean we both agreed on leaving the cops from this
**Decisions, just like people change
**Yeah right but please don't get me arrested.. I got caught up on something yesterday, that's why I couldn't make it to your place at that ungodly hour.
**Something like?
**Uh.. Sleep?
**Thoughtful excuse... I replied
So? We're cool right?
**Not exactly but I'll let this pass, I texted.
**Thanks..
I smiled a little and was about quitting the message app when another message popped up from her. I clicked on it.
**I love you so much girl, you have no idea how spending a day at home is like.. I'll be looking forward to knowing everything about your blind date. See ya tomorrow.
My brows furrowed after I read the message, just as I stared confused another message popped in.
**OMG! Wrong message.. Sorry Nik, it was a mistake. Just ignore it okay? I'll see you at Work
I shook my head.. Stupid!
That explains why I haven't seen her on this floor trying to peek glances at me.
I tuck the phone in my pant pocket and continued my journey to class.

Jason's POV
.
I threw my bag at a maid and walked into the house..
"Mom! I'm home!" I announced and seconds later my mom rushed out from the kitchen. Her both palm covered in flour.
"Welcome honey, how was school?"
"As it always have been" I responded. She walked to me, obviously wanting a hug. I pulled back and held a restraining hand.
"There's no way I'm letting you touch me with those hands"
"Oops, sorry son I almost forgot I had flour on me. I am preparing your favorite desert ahead for dinner. Can I at least get a kiss then?"
"Sure thing" I walked to her and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Don't stand there looking gormless, take that to my room!" I said to the Maid and she bowed before walking away.
"You should go shower and come down to the dinner, I prepared your favorite" she said. I nodded and walked to my room.
.
After showering, I Pulled into a black jean, a red shirt and styled my hair. I grabbed my racecar keys and walked out to the living room. Mom was getting the dishes ready.
"Mom, I'll pass the meal. I'm among the first racers and I can't be late"
"Come-on son, Can't you just have a bite or two?"
"No mom. I promise I'll grab a bite on my way"
"But--
"I love you mom, bye." I hurried out of the house, I hopped into my sport car and drove off.
"Hey man" James walked to me when I parked at the venue, I got down and shook hands with him.
"Anything up?"
"You're just in time, Mike's getting the first sets ready" he said.
"Where's Archie?"
"Says he'll be late today, he's on the third" he said and I nodded "This baby looks super duper. Wait is it Ferrari Monza?" He asked, referring to my car.
"You bet," I threw the keys at him and he caught it. "Warm it up, I'll just grab a quick bite before the game begins"
"With all pleasures dude" he says, patted my back and moved into it.
"Hey! Be careful with it, except you have a hundred million to pay" I joked and he smiled with a nod.
...
After racing.. Archie, James and I sat on the grass, picking at the chopped barbecue in a foil paper and talking about sports.
"I think Nicholas has a girlfriend" Archie suddenly asked in-between our conversation, earning a look from me and James.
"Whoa.. Crappy dude finally decides to man up" James said, picking a meat.
"That's impossible" I said. "What makes you think so?" I gave Archie a look.
"Well because for few days now I've been seeing him talking to this hottie, I heard she's in the junior's--
"Wait Nick has been talking to a lady to a lady?" I asked, grimacing.
"I saw it man. Two times.. I couldn't believe it at first too until I saw it happen a second time"
I gave him a questioning look.. "Who's she?" I asked.
"The only thing I got is her name.. Jacqueline Dawson and yes, I have a pics too" he said and my teeth gritted.. Anger welling up. I took the phone from him and stared at the picture of a young girl in a uniform and she had a wide grin across her lips.
I frowned.
Is that dude trying to be happy.. Jeez! Such a joke. That can never happen.
Nicholas is meant to be sad and miserable for life!
"Hey dude.. What's up with the angry look, ain't you happy for your bro?" He joked.
"That isn't a funny James," I glared at him and he shrugged.
"Have you ever seen a monster happy?" I asked.
"Uh No" Archie answered. "Because I haven't seen one to begin with" he added.
"Then Nick can never be happy! That can't happen"
"Okay bruh.. You keep calling Nick a monster but honestly I've not seen anything monstrous about him. Is there something else we should know?"
"There is and trust me you'll be knowing about it soon cos In a short while, I'll tell his real identity not just to you guys, but to the whole school.
But first I have to get her..he can't have a girl when I don't. He doesn't deserve happiness. I'll get her and right before him, I'll ruin her"
"And who's her?" Archie asked. I stood up and grabbed my phone before answering..
"Jacqueline Dawson"
