Chapter six

Different comments were flying in the air from the student present. Everybody knows Quicney to be a playboy. Why is he so soft when he met Sapphire which everyone doesn't know? Quincey stood up as well as Sapphire with a book in his hands. 

"Here you go" He smile and stretched his hand towards her with a book in it. 

,

"Thank you. I am so sorry for bumping into you like that. I was in a hurry to miss Mr. Bonks's class" she giggled. 

"Oh! He is not coming. I didn't find you in class so I decided to come out and look for you. Where have you been? " he stuck his hands on his trousers. 

"Oh! That's bad. I enjoy his lecture. I think I had to go back to the library. Thanks a, lot" She was about to leave when Quincey held her hand. 

"Please wait. I had something really important to talk to you about" He giggled and she was surprised. 

"What could that be? We can talk about that later because I have a class to attend" She increased the pitch in her voice. She tried to walk away but Quincey held her hand and she removed his hand from hers at once. 

"Jeaune, as I said earlier he is not coming. I am just coming out of the class. Can I have some of your time? " he asked with a smile. 

"I can't and besides I had to be in the library. Courtney is waiting for me and I don't want to keep her waiting" She looked away and Quincey held her left hand. He used his two hands to cover hers and she stare at both hands for a while before staring at his face without saying a word to him. 

"Jeaune, you don't have to keep avoiding me. I know I act rudely to you the other day but I apologized for my mistake. I don't know why you keep doing this to me" he asked but Sapphire didn't say a word because she is still shocked by what is going on. 

"Jeaune, I want you to be my friend. I am so sorry for keeping you waiting. I will love for you to accompany me to the cafeteria, please" He stares at her and she nods her head in agreement. They both walked to the cafeteria. He order two plates of mashed potato waffles. 

"Jeaune, what's wrong? You haven't been talking to me. Are you okay? " he held her hand and she removed her hand from his. 

"Quicney, thanks a lot for the meal. This question I am about to ask you bothers me. Why are you doing this? " she stares into his blue eyes. He takes in a deep breath before giving her a reply. 

"I am doing this to show how sorry I am for the way I treated you the first we met. I don't want us to continue those disagreements we have been having for a while now" He rests his hands on the table. 

"I had told you that I had forgiven you. Why are you still sticking me? " she narrowed her eyes. He couldn't say a word and that is unusual of him. He had never found it hard to find his words. 

"Jeaune, I am sorry for making you feel uncomfortable. I am deeply sorry. It's just that I want to be your friend" he pleased. 

"A friend? I have a friend who cares more about me and I am cool with her. I don't need more friends" she said in a harsh tone. 

"Calm down, Jeanne. You can still have more friends " She leaned closer. 

"I am not yet your friend and I am getting all this ill treatment from Henrietta. What will I get when we are finally friends? I don't want any of that at all. Be with Henrietta because it seems you guys are dating and she is trying hard not to get you off her sight." She said and turned her face away. 

"Look at me" He used his fingers to turn her face in his direction. 

"Henrietta and I once had something in common but not anymore. I don't feel anything for her. We only had sex together in the past not anymore. I assure you if you are my friend. I will promise to protect you and she will never bother you again" He held both hands. 

"Are you sure about what you just said? I want to be free from her bullying. She is making me feel uncomfortable that's why I don't stay in class after lectures but in the library. I don't mind being your friend but you have to keep your promise" she said and checked her wristwatch on her wrist. 

"I think I had to go now. Courtney is waiting for me at the library" She stood up. 

"Really! Why don't you finish your meal before leaving" he said with a cute smile. 

"I would have but I don't like keeping her waiting," she said with a smile. She did something surprising, she hugged him passionately. Quincey wasn't expecting that from her and he don't want to let go of her. 

"I will see you some other time" She waved him goodbye. She keep looking back at every step took as she walked to the library. 

"Does it mean I had fallen in love with him? He had shown me the love and care had missed years back while my parents were still a life" Her tears roll down her cheeks. 

Flashback 

Sapphire Sky runs around happily playing with her toys. Sapphire was the happiest kid on earth. She has everything she ever wanted in life. Maids, nannies, and guards worship her like some kind of God. She is the only daughter of the most respected billionaire in the whole of California, Mr sky. He is loved by all because he treated everyone equally even if he is extremely wealthy. Sapphire rushed to embrace her parents when she saw them walking into the mansion. 

"Mum! Dad!" She embraces them happily. 

"Hello! My angel" Mr. Sky pecked her on her cheek. 

"Dad, what's kept, you guys? I was really worried. " she sat down on a sofa. 

"I am sorry, my angel. It will never happen again" he apologized. 

"You have been forgiven. You are my world" She smiles and her mother cleared her throat. 

"It seems someone is jealous. Mom, you are my everything. I love you both a lot and nothing will ever take you guys away from me" She crinkles her eyes and nose. 

"I love you too, my princess. I am so happy that you felt so comfortable. You are my only child, it seems as if I had thousands. You are a gift to me" She playfully touches her cheeks. Sapphire Sky was so happy to be with such an amazing soul as her parents. She stepped out to feel the cool breeze which she does very often. She spent more time than she normally does spend. God save her from the hands of the assassin. Immediately she stepped out, they walked in. They shot her both parents and their servants. They searched everywhere for her but couldn't find her and they walked away. Sapphire walks in happily only to see her parents in the pool of their blood. She screamed and rush to where their body is. She cried out but no one seems to hear her cry. Her whole was shattered without any trail.
