Chapter 6

Scarlet POV

I draw in a long breathe and exhale again. I repeated a couple of times as I relax myself. My heart started racing when Noah approached me, then from a fast beating heart to a cracked one as soon as Bella came in between us.

I don’t need to think over the rejection again. He rejected me and that’s okay. I need to focus more on my studies and get out of this school.

Jeez, I’m just a new student and I’m already feeling so sophisticated. Never thought it will be this hard to breathe in Virginia College.

I take another long breathe before I knock on the door. Mr. Jack’s office. It doesn’t take a second I heard the high pitch of his voice telling me to come in.

I don’t know what I have to do in his office. The whole stuff just gets weird for me. I tuck my hair in front of my eyes, behind my ears.

I push the down open as I see him sitting on the chair in front of his office desk. “ Sir, you asked me to come.” I mumble, trying not to look at him as I drop my gaze to the ground.

“ Yes. Come in and feel free.” His winsome smile spreads on his lips. I exhale slowly trying to be calm because there is a lot running through my head at the moment.

I settle down on the coach beside his desk, but refuses to take his eyes off me. The way he stared too long at me, got me nervous, pondering on the thoughts if I have some part of my body exposed.

I nervously drop my eyes to my breast and to my thighs, knowing that they are not exposed.

I’m on a red gown with a length to my knee, obviously not exposed to get that kind of flirtatious behavior from him. I take another glance at him but he still stares, causing me to feel uneasy.

“ Sir.. why did you call me here?” I rub my hands around my arms breathlessly.

He finally takes his eyes off me and sighs.. then comes up with a large smile again as if we have been something to each other.

“ First, I want you to call me Jack and not Sir.” He demands, smiling smugly at me. I hate the way he smiled that way at me, I mean , it doesn’t suit him because those kind of smiles should be for the younger boys not this middle aged man..

Those kind of smiles are perfect on Noah’s lips. I mean guys like Noah..

“ Sir.. please I can’t call you Jack. You are my teacher and I need to give you that respect.” I pout, trying not to show my irritation.

“ Then as your teacher.. it is an order to call me by my name.” his voice sterns. I stare stunned at him and mute.

“ Okay.. Jack.” I mumble.

“ Jack why am I here?” I raise my brow a little. Taking advantage of the privilege to call him by his name instead of sir.

“ Good. To talk about your rejection with Noah.” He heads straight to the point, which I far prefer but it’s a bit off that he wants to talk about the rejection with my mate.

I mean, how does that relate to him making me the President or prefect of the class? And calling me to his office?

“ I’m okay. He rejected me and that’s fine. Things happens.” I rush the conversation, so I can get out of this place already.

“ No, you are not okay. No female is okay when they get rejected by their mates. Besides I see them in those pretty blue eyes of yours.” He says flat out, rising on his feet as he approaches the couch where I am seated.

“ Scarlet… I know you are heart broken and you need someone.. to help you…” he comes in front of me as he begin to stare at my body like he did earlier.. Giving me this chills on my skin..

“ Let me help heal..” as he goes on to say, someone abruptly throws the door open without getting to knock.

“Goodness, at the perfect time.” I gasp. As if the person is aware that I needed to be out of this place immediately.

“ Scarlet!” the way she screams my name, tells that something is wrong. It’s Jane.

“ Don’t you have your manners? You can’t barged into my office without my permission.” He yells. There was anger in his tone, which got me scarier that this man might be …. Not good for me. He looks like the possessive type..and that’s wild.

“ I’m sorry , Mr Jack. Just that I need Scarlet for something urgent!” her voice loud, she doesn’t pay much attention to him , she just comes to pull me out of the couch.

“ Hey girl we need to leave!” She sounds like something happened, which is making my heart throb. Racing more than it was a moment ago when Mr Jack stared at way at me.

She push me out of the office and shuts the door behind us. She grabs my wrist and begin to run, now I’m so curious.. what’s going on with her?

We run to an extent and she stops, then she burst into a loud chortle as confusion dawns on me.

“ Did something happened?” My eyes wide, as I panicked.

“ No girl!” She screams, laughing loud as her blonde covers her face. She appears really cute with her fallen blonde hair as she chuckles.

I watch her funny gaze and quickly grasp a cue of what just happened. “ Wait… don’t tell me you purposely did that?” I stuff my laughter.. then chuckles..

“ Of course girl!” she chuckles.

“ Oh jeez. Smart. But how did you know I was there?” My brow climbs my face. Jane and I don’t have same class so she definitely would have no clue that I was at his office..

“ Well…Noah didn’t want to piss you off so he told me to help him out.” She speaks.

I frown as I don’t understand what she meant by that. “ what do you mean help him out?” I frown, that weird odd stares comes up on my face again whenever I hear his name. The rejection seem to have messed me up mentally.

“ See.. I think.. he still cares about you..” Jane’s eyes looks serious as she speaks.

I feel my chest tightens when I hear that, “ No, Jane, please do not say something like that to me. I have nothing to do with Noah anymore.. He rejected me for Bella and that’s fine.” I shun her, rolling my eyes.

“ Let’s go home please, I’m already so tired.” I grumble. As we turn to walk towards the hall way, I caught sight of him.. just staring right at me. He stares at me with curious eyes.  And shit, I don’t care to know why.. but he looks like he has something to say to me, and I’m not interested to know or speak to him anymore.

Jane pauses when she sees him too. Thinking, we both going to talk, to her surprise I hasten my step to avoid him..

I see how rage fills his eyes all of a sudden as soon as I avoided him. “ Scarlet.” He calls my name, his tone low but full of emotions and it baffles me.

“ Scarlet, we need to talk.” He says in a haste and I halt my step.

“ We have nothing to talk about.” I say immediately with no hate, just.. shutting him out.

“ Scarlet..” his voice skips, as if his lips are suddenly dry as he attempts to speak.

I have nothing to say, I really do not have anything to do with him anymore.

I walk away, knowing that my steps are slow I begin to run.. running back to my hostels. Jane screams my name as she runs along with me , but I don’t stop.
