Chapter 6
Star High College
{Cafeteria}
"Hey, what's going on between them?"Hazel asked Emory.
Emory replied, "I promise I don't know... Zinnia has been acting weird lately. It's either he comes to take her or she gets a text on her phone."
"And when did it start?", Hazel asked.
"Let's say two weeks ago. Emory replied
And when did she start schooling here?, Hazel asked
Two weeks ago... I'm pretty sure those three boys bullies this... poor girl. Hazel said
Yeah, sometimes?, Emory replied.
But it's stormy who bullies Zinnia... not Killian. But not anymore. Killian actually told her to stop bullying Zinnia."Emory added
Kilian's penthouse...
The three boys actually have their own penthouse in the school due to their family status. Killian actually took Zinnia to his place."
What do you want from me now?"Zinnia asked angrily.
You know it's because of me Stormy and her minions are no longer bullying you. If you don't want them to continue bullying you... you would have to do whatever I ask you to do."Killian said.
I know that... and what should I do so you would stop bothering me? I hate it. I hate seeing your face... it's irritating."Zinnia said.
There is nothing you can do, kitten..."Kilian replied, "
Why do you call me to this place now?,Zinnia asked frustratedly
I called you here to tell you I want coffee... so go get it for me. Killian said.
Can't you go get it from the cafeteria yourself?, Zinnia asked.
{Cafeteria}
Hazel and Emory sat in the cafeteria eating when Emory said she is going to use the restroom, leaving Hazel alone.
After Emory was done in the restroom, she headed towards the cafeteria to meet Hazel. But on her way, she bumped into someone. Immediately, she raised her head to see that the person she bumped into was Levi.
"Hey, don't you see where you are going?" Emory snapped.
Your beautiful face made me blind, darling, Levi replied
You are sick, Emory replied
I am sick for only you, my love, Levi said
Your words don't flatter me. Check... why don't you go and meet the person you truly love?, Emory replied.
You are the only love for my life, Levi replied
Did you forget what you said when we were in highschool? I am a gold digger, remember, Emory said
I will forget the past if you beg now, Levi replied.
{Flashback Golden Highschool}
{ Emory and Levi's Highschool}
Emory was walking in the hall heading towards Levi's penthouse, but upon getting there, she met a big shock of her life... Levi, her boyfriend, was kissing a girl and that to the school bully, Sasha.
What...?, Emory screamed, "
What... what you have the guts to tell me that?"Levi replied upon seeing her,
Yeah, what...? And also, didn't you see the message I sent to you some minutes ago?, Levi added.
Emory, immediately bought out her phone to check the message... 'we are done' was written in the chat, with a video of Emory collecting money from Levi's mother.
"No, no, Amor... I promised, it's not what you think... that's not what really happened," Emory said, tears falling from her eyes.
Then tell me what really happened... I'm sure you are gonna tell me some lies, and I am not ready to listen to your lies.Levi replied
You know mom used to tell me... you low lives are no good, but I told her you are not one of them... but she proved me wrong by showing me the video... and right then and there I realized she was right. Levi added
No, Amor... let me explain... let me tell you what really happened... Emory said in tears.
You can't just believe a video... you know what? I am not gonna beg... cause I realized you never truly loved... cause if you did, you would have trusted me and not a video, Emory added.
Just leave... since you've collected the money... aren't you supposed to leave me alone?, Levi said.
Levy said, "I promise you one thing... That by the time by the time you realized you've made a big mistake... I will never forgive you, Emory said before exiting his pent house.
leave," Levi said.
So you were just using me?, Sasha said
I said leave!, Levi snapped
Okay, then bye," Sasha replied leaving the penthouse.
As soon as Sasha left, Levy bursted into tears tears... "Why... why... why did you do this to me?" Levi screamed, tears falling from his eyes.
As soon as Emory left his penthouse, she texted her parents to send her a driver to come pick her up. Soon, her driver came to pick her up. When she got home, she ran up to her room and locked herself in.
"Why... why... why... at least he should have trusted me... at least," Emory said, crying in the corner of her room as she remembered what really happened
Here's the flashback of what really happened between Levi's mum and Emory....
(Miss Banks, Levy's mother, handed Emery a card)
Miss Banks: "Take this card and leave my son. There's ten million in the card."
Emory: "No, ma'am... I really love your son. No matter no amount of money can make me leave him."
Miss Banks: "Okay, then... can this make you leave my son?" (showing Emory a video of Mr Banks beating Levi up)
Emory: "Ma'am, what are you doing? He... is your son... at least please stop!"
Miss Banks: "I am not the one beating him... it is his father... and he said that until you take the money and leave my son, then he would stop."
Emory: "Ma'am, you... just know one thing... no one can come between two people who are in love."
Emory said, before leaving.
Miss Banks: "At least take the money... you would need it since you decided to leave my son... I am sure you would begin to suffer because of how poor you are..."
Emory replied, leaving completely: "I do not need it."
{end of flashback}
Emory was crying really hard at the corner of her room.
"I promise I never collected the money from your mother... the video you saw was photoshopped " Emory said to herself.
"I actually wanted to tell you that... I was never born poor... my parents were rich from the beginning... I only kept a low profile for my safety because my parents has so many enemies and they want to harm me by harming me... but no... you are too stubborn to listen why..." Emory continued.
After what happened to both Levi and Emory, Emory didn't go to school for a week. And after a week, she went back to school... but not as a poor girl... this time as a rich girl.
Levi blocked her path on her way to class.
"So now you have become rich with the money my mom gave you... you still even have the guts to show off... shamelessly, bitch " Levi said rudely.
Emory smirked and replied.
"Bitch, gold digger... call me whatever you want, Levi... but know one thing... you would regret it someday," Emory said.
Levi's face twisted when Emery called him by his name... he felt completely shattered because she doesn't call him by his name... it has always been 'amor'
Emory added rudely this time.
"Please leave my way... I'm sure you do not want to be seen with a gold digger like me " Emory said.
Ever since then, the two became sworn enemies.
{end of flashback}
"I would never ever ever beg... and also I'm a gold digger... I got to reach over now with due to the money your parents gave me... then so you would not want to get back with the gold digger right" Emory replied.I would never ever ever beg... and also I'm a gold digger... I got to reach over now with due to the money your parents gave me... then so you would not want to get back with the gold digger right" Emory replied.
"You are lucky I still feel something for you... but but too bad it's hatred... I feel like strangling you right now... but due to the love we once shared... I won't do that" Levi said angrily."You are lucky I still feel something for you... but but too bad it's hatred... I feel like strangling you right now... but due to the love we once shared... I won't do that" Levi said angrily.
"You know what... just leave... and I have got one advice for you... when you get home ask your parents... ask your parents about what really happened... and ask them if the video was real or not" Emory said, leaving for the cafeteria."You know what... just leave... and I have got one advice for you... when you get home ask your parents... ask your parents about what really happened... and ask them if the video was real or not" Emory said, leaving for the cafeteria.
"What did she mean real or not?" Levi said to himself as he took out his phone to phone someone. "Hello, Jack... please help me to investigate about what really happened between mom and Emory... then" Levi said to his investigator on the phone."What did she mean real or not?" Levi said to himself as he took out his phone to phone someone. "Hello, Jack... please help me to investigate about what really happened between mom and Emory... then" Levi said to his investigator on the phone.
"And do it secretly... do not let my parents know about it... okay... and also investigate on Emory's family... okay" Levi said again."And do it secretly... do not let my parents know about it... okay... and also investigate on Emory's family... okay" Levi said again.
"Okay, sir" the investigator said. As soon as he said it, Levi ended the call."Okay, sir" the investigator said. As soon as he said it, Levi ended the call.
Killian's penthouse
"No... you would go out of the school to get it... the school's coffee isn't my taste, Killian said.
"But the coffee shop near our school is just a few meters away" Zinnia replied.
"I know" Killian said. "You have ten minutes" he added."I know" Kilian said. "You have ten minutes" he added.
Immediately he made the statement, Zinnia dashed out running like her life depends on it... she ran to the coffee shop and ran back to the school... but by the time she came back, break was already over and the ten minutes was also over.
By the time Emory got to Hazel, the bell for break rang.
"Hey, where are you?, Hazel asked.
"Got into some trouble" Emory replied.
"Are you okay?" Hazel asked, noticing Emory's red eye.
"Yeah" Emory replied, trying to hold back the tears that are forcing their way out.
"No... you are not... there is... there is tears in your eyes" Hazel said. "Who made you cry?" Hazel added.
"No one... I'm just emotional" Emory said.
"No... you are not... but I won't force you to speak... and one advice for you is that... tears makes one weak and sometimes strong... and speaking out makes one relief... so don't keep everything to yourself" Hazel said.
"Thanks, Hazel" Emory replied smiling.
"Breaks over... let's go to the hall" Emory replied.
"Yeah" Hazel replied, leaving the cafeteria with Emory.
As soon as the two got to the lecture hall, they went to their seat. As soon as they took their seat, Hazel could feel someone's eyes on her... when she turned to see who was glaring at her, she spotted Kenzie at the back glaring really hard at her... but she ignored him nevertheless.
Soon the lecturer entered the class for their afternoon lecture.
While Hazel and Emory were wondering where Zinnia is... since Killian is already in the the lecture hall with Levi and Kenzie
"Hey bro, what's your plan?, Killian asked.
"I'm sure it's something big... you've been smiling and staring daggers at that stumble over there" Levi added."I'm sure it's something... because you are... you've been smiling and staring daggers at that tomboy over there" Levi added.
