"Now that's the question more appealing than your previous useless queries."
Ronan commented with a smirk and let go of Alizah's hand and she turned around to face him. Her wrist had marks from Ronan's grip and it hurt her a lot. She massaged the area around it a bit and then looked back at Ronan.
"I think you'd be fit for the position and moreover I would need some motivation when I'm playing the game, seeing you cheering for me could work."
Ronan winked and Alizah rolled her eyes.
"I have no idea about cheerleading, so you better not waste your time trying to manipulate me into doing it."
Alizah told him. It was the truth, she has never been engaged in any such activity before. She barely paid attention to any extracurricular activity in her last school.
"I think you're just waffling, why can't you do it?"
Ronan challenged.
"For obvious reasons... I have never done it in my life. How could you possibly ask me to do something that I'm completely unaware of?"
Alizah asked as a matter of fact.
"Hmm... So, you're giving up before even trying?"
Ronan was only playing his mind games again to manipulate Alizah into doing the task.
"I'm not getting into your trap again. And also, what benefit would you get by making me do this cheerleading thing?"
"Why would you think that I would be benefitted in any way by making you become the head cheerleader for the match?"
Ronan questioned with a twisted face.
"Oh my God! Did you forget, you are Ronan Morris! Why would you do anything that doesn't benefit you?"
Alizah said in a way to make Ronan's personality look mockingly larger than it was. Well, it was only a rude, arrogant and psychotic personality for her.
Ronan laughed and looked at Alizah's eyes and this time, Alizah thought, he had actually laughed and not for mocking.
"Well, I told you. I'd be motivated if the cheerleaders are good and I get to hear good cheering for me, from you."
He told with fake flattery eyes. He was being sarcastic.
"I can never understand you, Ronan, there are times when you can't even tolerate looking at me and then you want me to become the cheerleader because you want me, out of all people, to cheer for you?"
There was no way Alizah could ever be confusion-free around Ronan. He always made things hard for her just by simply being around.
"Just for this instance, know that I want you to be the head cheerleader for this match!"
He said and left perplexed Alizah in the middle of the football field. Shawn only saw her in bewilderment and didn't bother going to her to ask what was going on. He was aware that Ronan didn't like anyone intriguing in his business and if Shawn tried to grasp any information from Alizah, it would only mean going against Ronan.
The other footballer players left right after Ronan, maybe their practice was already over and they were just standing there to witness Alizah and Ronan talk for their own insane purpose. Everyone knew, if Ronan targets someone then he never makes it easy for that person, and those guys were shamelessly interested in witnessing Allah suffer after being Ronan's target.
Even after school, Alizah was in bewilderment, she didn't know what to do about Ronan, what to do about his crazy mind games, or what to do about his manipulative nature. She didn't want to listen to anything he said but a part of her always surrendered to him. She knew if she didn't do it then he would make her do it.
"You seem quite off today, everything alright?"
Linda asked as she saw Alizah in some psyche perplexity.
"Umm... Yeah, it is just about school, you know. Nothing else."
Alizah gave a tight smile and started cleaning the counter at the cafe.
"Is it still hard for you to get merged with elite class students? Did you make any friends yet?"
Alizah wanted to dodge those questions as she didn't want Linda to know what exactly was going on with her. Linda would only feel bad about Alizah but there was nothing she could do. But Alizah didn't even want to lie to her only friend.
"It's hectic, you know. The assignments, the workload. I really didn't get time to chat with many students but I'm sure, I would make some friends soon."
She smiled and went back to her work without waiting for Linda's response. She knew if she went on chatting with Linda then she would have to tell more lies and that was not acceptable by her.
Alizah was thankful that she didn't have to go to Mrs. Smith's home for babysitting her children today because they all were out of station for a while. Alizah's head was aching and she wanted nothing more than to rest. When her shift was over she refused to go out with Linda for a meal and went back straight to the home.
She hasn't expected her father to be home this early. Since he had joined the work at the bakery, he usually came back home just an hour before their usual dining time, so that he could prepare the meal for them both and Alizah don't have to bother with doing kitchen job after having a day filled with the workload.
"Hey! Dad, why are you home so early?"
She asked putting her bag on the table.
"Oh! I didn't go to work today. Actually, there hasn't been a sale of our products yet so our owner told us that he'd first focus on clearing the stock so he asked us not to come today."
Her father explained and scooted on the other side of the sofa to make space for Alizah to sit.
"Oh! That's alright!"
Alizah said.
"What about you? Why are you back home early today?"
His father asked concerned. Although he was happy that Alizah was back home early and now he could spend more time with her.
"I didn't have to go to my part-time job at Mrs. Smith's today. And I will be coming back home early for a few days now."
She told him with a smile.
"That's great!"
Her father said as now Alizah would get more rest and she could focus on her health better.
"Should I prepare us dinner tonight?"
"No honey, you don't need it. You can complete your school's assignments meanwhile I prepare the meal."
Her father offered and Alizah was again reminded of the school. She wanted that place and the worst thing was she couldn't even admit to someone about it. Her father always wanted good for her and that was the reason that he was so happy when Alizah got admission to Avalon high but by telling him the hard reality she couldn't upset him. She needed to deal with this on her own because her father has already done a lot for her and she couldn't pester him with her school life problems anymore.
Alizah went back to her room and table and sat on the bed. She needed to find an excuse that she could use to deny Ronan, who was forcing her to become the head of the cheerleading team which she wasn't sure how she could do because never in her life she has been a cheerleader and let go of trying it for the person she hated the most. Ronan hasn't done any good but only given misery to Alizah and made her school life no less than a hell.
Her head was spinning by thinking about the incident again and again but she couldn't come up with a better answer to give to Ronan for denying his stubborn wish. Wish? Was it even a wish? He was just forcing his psychotic decisions onto her and he wanted nothing but to see Alizah suffer while trying the thing she had never done before in her life.
Alizah completed her school work in the meantime while her father prepared food for them and when it was time for dinner, he called for her, and she went back to the living room.
" What happened Alizah? Is everything alright? You seem to be lost in your thoughts today that something happened in school?"
Her father asked in between eating the food an even Alizah knew it was evident in her face that she wasn't feeling very good but she was afraid to confess the truth to her father because she knew her father would not be able to take that her daughter was getting bad treatment at her school. Her father lived nothing more than Alizah's happiness and he could not compromise it for anything else.
"Dad, actually the thing is I'm quite perplexed about a situation, that I should become the cheerleader for the upcoming football match that Mr. And Mrs. Bradford were talking about last night. What do you think, if I should take this opportunity or drop it?"
Alizah couldn't tell the whole truth to her father because she couldn't tell him that she was actually being forced to do this job but she needed to know her father's opinion on the subject. Now she only hoped that whatever her father said could bring her some help to solve this conflict within herself...
" I think that's a really good idea, sweetheart. You should go for it! I have never seen you doing any such activities and I would want you to do it in your new school I would encourage you to go for it!"Alizah's father was optimistic about her daughter getting immersed in extracurricular activities. He wanted nothing but Alizah to have all the fun of high school life that he always wanted her to have but because of certain responsibilities which Alizah took upon herself from a very young age, her school life has never been really fun." Are you sure? Because I have never done anything think as such in the past and doing something new doesn't quite come under my enjoyment level."" Aliza how would you come to know about what you're capable of and what you're not if you're not even ready to try something new? You need to get out of your comfort zone to find and try something that tells your true prospect. You are very talented and you can do anything. But you ar
"So, when and how is your girlfriend... I mean ex-girlfriend going to start my practice?"When Alizah was getting a chance to learn something she was determined to go for It. Even though the teacher she was getting was related to Ronan. she was also nervous at the moment because she wasn't aware of his true intentions behind doing all this for her. She needed to be alert to know his motives."After school, at my home!""What do you mean at your home? why can't she teach me in the school itself? I don't want to be anywhere around you, okay?"Alizah did not want to go to his house or be anywhere around him even at school. He already knew this fact but still, he proposed this in front of her."She doesn't studies at our school how could you reckon her to come here and teach you specifically?"Alizah obviously did not that Ronan's ex-girlfriend wasn't a student in Avalon High. She wondered how they both would have met but she better did not ask
"Come, sit!"Ronan said offering his helmet to Alizah. He made her follow him to his bike and now he wanted her to ride on it with him."Seriously, Ronan! You know I don't like riding on your bike. where are you taking me? It's not like I can believe you.""Don't worry sweetheart I promise I won't kidnap you."Eliza rolled her eyes but unwillingly sat beside him on his bike and soon he started his bike and they were on the streets of London."Can you at least slow down the speed? My head has already started spinning."Alizah complained but Ronan only increased the speed even more and she knew it was useless debating with him when the control was under his hands.After traveling to a very short distance, Ronan stopped his bike and Eliza got up from it. It was a beautiful area with a lot of trees and shrubs around and nice vegetation. Right in front of where Ronan parked his bike, there was a really beautiful Cottage kind of Cafe, which
"Can you hurry up with your eating, please? Don't forget we have classes to attend."Alizah rolled her eyes and got up from her seat and without looking at Ronan, she headed straight towards his bike and Ronan followed after saying goodbye to Bob.She sat on his bike and refused to talk to him at all."Why are you so silent?"Ronan questioned while the ride. Alizah's silence was strange to tolerate because she used to rant at him for pestering her, all day."So, what do you expect me to say, now? I can't fight you anymore. I told you, I am not a very violent person as you are. It's better if this could be dealt with in silence."Alizah answered."Whatever you say, sweetheart!"Soon Ronan and Alizah reached the School. The students moving around the campus saw them both in awe. It was pretty sure soon gonna be the hottest gossip in Avalon High because students have been noticing Ronan and Aliza spending time with each other. The
Blonde hair with Crystal Blue eyes, her skin was flawless and glowed like a lotus in the sunlight. She stood in a perfect posture, she looked no less than a supermodel. Her dress spoke about her sense of fashion. Alizah was stunned when she saw Ronan's ex-girlfriend standing right in front of his house. She hadn't expected her to come this early, she thought Cynthia might make them wait for her but she showed up in time.Ronan gave her an awkward smile and opened them after inserting the passcode and they all walked inside his house."Long time no see Cynthia! How are you?"Ronan asked trying to pull her in a hug but Cynthia moved back."Don't you even dare fake that with me? I know you don't care about seeing me. Did you forget the deal we had?"Alizah was clueless about what they were talking about. She had no idea what this deal Cynthia meant. Ronan was only smiling nervously and moved back this was the first time she was seeing Ronan so quiet.
Ronan stopped in front of a big apartment. Looking as huge and luxurious as his apartment. Alizah looked in perplexity, waiting for Ronan to explain why they were here. "Let's go in, Cynthia is waiting for you." He said and guided Alizah inside the apartment as Cynthia was standing near the door. Her expressions were what Alizah guessed to be annoyed. "Hello, Cyntia." She greeted regardless of her 'Doesn't give a shit about' expression. "Yeah let's go inside now, you are already late." Cynthia takes them inside her home and Ronan seemed to be in a bad mood today as he didn't talk to Cynthia nor tried to make any sarcastic comments. Alizah was sure that something was wrong with him whereas Cynthia barely paid any attention to him. They proceeded with the practicing and Ronan settled on the couch facing another side of the room and busy on his phone. After practicing for a while, when Alizah took a break to drink water, C
"Seriously Ronan, what would you gain out of getting me into the cheerleading team?"Alizah expected him to give an honest reply as he was very easily conversing with her but it wasn't that easy to get answers from Ronan Morris."Why would you think that I would gain something out of it?"He questioned."Because that's so your nature, Ronan. why would you be doing it if you have no gain?"Alizah spoke as a matter of fact."It's as simple as I want you to have a certain reputation in the school so that bullying you would be more fun."He said as if he was cracking a joke and laughed at the end but Alizah could not disgust anymore."You are doing all this just so that you can gain more amazement out of bullying me? How pathetic you could get? I never imagined this could be that sick reason I have been worrying about your intentions for. That's so lame and that's so you."Alizah admitted her disgust and expected Ronan to sh
Shawn was left startled by Alizah's so many questions. He just looked at her waiting for her to give him a chance to speak but her questions were non-stop as she was panicking a lot."Hold on, hold on, you don't need to panic and I'll answer everything. Just drink some water, you are not well."Alizah did exactly the same as he said and drank a glass of water waiting for him to tell her everything."So, it was my car with which you collided and about those two bastards, I figured out they were chasing you. I don't know the reason why, but they are taken care of. You don't need to worry about them. And as you were not in a conscious state to go back your home so I brought you here to mine. Hope you don't mind. Also, I didn't know about any one of your contacts and just waited for you to wake up."Shawn told everything at once and now things started making sense to Alizah."I am so thankful for how you helped me out today. I don't think if I'd ever b
