CHAPTER THREE

Quinn 

~

  I woke up this morning with a smile plastered on my face. Am so happy to go to school, I have no idea of how I slept last night cause I couldn't stop thinking about that cute guy at the cafe. Gosh......I've never been this excited before.

  I should better get ready, I don't wanna be late. I quickly stood up from the bed, went to the bathroom and did my regular routine.

 I came out with a towel tied round my body, I dried myself, applied body lotion and got dressed in a blue jean trouser and white hoodie. I wore my sneakers, carried my backpack and my phone before going out of my room.

"Look who is ready!." Her face radiates with happiness as she sees me descending the stairs. 

"Hey mom. Good morning." I kissed her cheeks.

"Morning sweetie, how was your night?."

"Fine mom." I sat down and had breakfast.

Out of excitement, I told mom not to bother in dropping me at school cause I felt like taking the bus today. 

*****

   I walked into the huge compound with a bright smile. The environment looks more beautiful than yesterday, I can't seem to stop admiring everywhere. 

"Quinn!." A familiar voice calls loud. 

I turned around and smiled the more, she waves at me from where she stood. I moved closer to her as she gave me a brief friendly hug. 

"Good morning bestie!." She squeals.

"Hi Suzy."

"How was your night?." She asks. 

"Fine, what bout you?." 

"Awesome, let's get to class." She said as she held my hand. 

"I'll see you later Derrick." She tells referring to the guy in the range rover next to us. 

"Yes ma'am." He replies as he starts the car and drove out of the compound.

"Who is he?." I ask as we walk to our classroom.

"He's my driver." She replies. 

"Okay."

"Weird right?."

"Huh, no. Why say that?."

"I should be driving cars by now. My parents are a little bit annoying, they are really protective of me and still see me as a child."

"It's okay. If they're protective of you then it means they love and cherish you."

"Yeah.....you're right. Thanks Quinn." She smiles and hugged me again. 

"You're welcome." I chuckled. 

   I can't believe I have a friend now, Suzy is a nice and jovial person. Although we met each other yesterday, I have this feeling she is a good person. 

We were about to enter our classroom when a girl with red hair called Suzy. 

"Oh hi Nora!." Suzy says. 

"Hey, Mrs Hart seeks your presence." The girl named Nora said with a quick glance at me.

"Ohhhh yeah thanks." Suzy states. 

  She nods in response. She threw me a weird look before walking away. What's with her??.

"Quinn, I need to return the stuffs I borrowed from the librarian." Suzy smiles. 

"Okay, see you later then."

"K bye." She says and gave me a tight hug before she left. 

  I took a deep breathe and entered into the classroom. I walked towards my seat, brought out my books from my backpack and placed them on my desk. I was about to sit when a guy ran past me making my books on the desk to fall. 

"Hey!!." I half yelled. I turned to see the guy is already gone. Geez!.

  Some people can just be stupid!. I sighed and knelt down to pick up my books.

"May I help you?." A voice says. 

"Huh??."

I looked up to see it's a guy with blonde hair hearing a black hat. He squats next to me and faced me, damn!. He is so so so cute, he smiled at me and that revealed his dimples at both cheeks, his lips are really pink.

"May I help you?." He repeats. I didn't respond cause I was busy eye raping him. 

"Hey..." He snaps his finger at my face and I kinda flinch a bit.

"Yeah.....thanks." I shuddered. 

 He smirks and nod. I just stared at him as he helped in picking my books. 

"Thank you so much." I say after composing myself. 

"It's nothing." He said handling me my books. 

"Are you a newbie?."

"Yeah I am."

"Am Chad, nice to meet you." He says pocketing his hands. 

"Am Quinn, same here."

"A lovely name for a beautiful lady like you." He smirks. 

"Thanks." I blushed. 

"See you around." He winks and walks away. 

  

 Oh my goodness!. He is cute but not compared to Negan tho. How come cute guys are everywhere in this school!!.

   Suzy came in as soon as he stepped out of the door, she moves to me and nudged my shoulder. "Hey."

"Oh hi.". Great! I zoned out again.

"You okay?."

"Yup." I replied and sat on my seat. 

"Wait a sec......Chad just left here??."

"Uh yeah. You know him?."

"Yeah. He is a senior, everyone knows him. He is very popular and also good in basketball."

"Wow." I mouthed. 

"Yeah." She says.

"What was he doing here anyways?."

"Well.....I don't know. He assisted me with my books that fell down." I replied. 

"Really??." She says in a shocked look.

"Yeah...why?."

"He isn't that friendly to juniors." Suzy tells going through her notebook

~

  Minutes later, a female teacher came in. After the greetings, she wrote some words on the chalkboard and began explanation. 

.

  It was time for lunch, I and Suzy went to the cafeteria and believe me, I was really excited cause I hoped to see that cute guy named Negan again.

  We carried our lunch tray and walked to take our seats. Damn!. All the seats are already occupied.

"Hey Suzy!." We heard as we turned to see it's a short haired girl.

"Let's go Quinn." She tells while i nodded in response.

We walked to where the girl and her friend are seated. "Hi Amanda, mind if we join?."

"Sure, no prob." The girl smiles at us. 

"Thanks." We both said as we sat down. 

"Uhm are you a new student?." Amanda asks, referring to me.

"Yeah." I nod.

"Well, nice meeting you, am Amanda and you?." She flashed me a warm smile.

"Quinn."

"Nice name."

"Thanks." I say. 

  I glimpsed at her friend, it's the same girl I and Suzanne met on our way to class, Nora. And weird enough, she has been giving me dirty looks since we joined them. It's really uncomfortable.

"So can you tell us what Chad was doing with you?." Nora speaks up for the first time. She has been quiet ever since we sat with them. 

Huh?, same question again?.

"He helped me to pick my books from the floor." I replied. 

"Yeah, what were you expecting?." Suzy threw at her. 

"Nothing." Nora says giving me a suspicious stare. What's with her anyways.

"I need to go to the restroom." I said to Suzy and stood up.

  Nora is seriously getting on my nerves!.

"Oh ok."

~

  I heaved a deep breathe immediately I entered into the restroom. Gosh I almost lost it back there, Nora is so annoying!.

Mom words popped up on my head. •Be careful Zara. Do not get into trouble•

I sighed and bit my lower lip, I was about to twist the door knob and leave when I heard footsteps. 

 I turned gently to see the blue haired cutie stepping out from a door. The upper buttons of his shirt are opened, showing his chest. Waiting a sec......what was he doing here?. This is a female restroom.

  As soon as I thought of that, the sassy queen bee stepped out of the same door Negan came out from. 

"Sorry." I apologized quickly and got out. 

I can't believe they're having an affair, what am I even saying?!. Was I expecting him to like me?. Gosh why am I even bothered?. I feel so weird.

I sigh and walked back to the cafeteria, I moved towards Suzy and the others and took my seat. I didn't contribute to their conversations cause I didn't feel like. 

"Hey Quinn, are you fine?." Suzy inquires worriedly. 

"Yeah, you have been quiet since you returned from the restroom." Says Amanda as my mind flew back to what happened. 

"Am fine, am just tired." I replied. 

Why do I suddenly feel this way???.
