Chapter 21TOO GOOD TO BE TRUERuby's Pov;" Oh, jeez Ruby!! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!!" Diane squealed in happiness, making me wonder the cause of her happiness.I arched my brows and stared at her in confusion. She saw this and let down her happy mood." You didn't know?" she asked amusingly." Know what? No, I didn't" I shook my head, looking lost as ever.What could be making her this excited?.She shrugged and the next thing I know, she took my palm in hers and started dragging me out of the classroom, not forgetting to take my bag with me.I wanted to object because it wasn't closing time yet, but she did the shush signal and that kept me shut immediately.I had absolutely no idea what was going on with her and just went with her, only to come out and meet the biggest shock of my life.Damn it!!.I couldn't believe it. Nathan's car was right in the middle of the school compound with him inside and all the students of my school practically gathered around it, gig

Chapter 23A WARM BATHERubys Pov;I scurried behind him like a lost puppy, grinning from ear to ear.I couldn't get the look on Ella's face out of my head.It was so interesting."Are you okay? How you feeling?" he turned swiftly and asked, taking me by surprise.My breath seized for a moment and all I could do was stare at him." Yeah...I'm...I'm fine" my voice came out weirder than I had expected.Why do I always seem to stammer around him?.He nodded and moved to the wardrobe. He brought out a shirt from it and walked into the bathroom.I gritted and bit my lower lip in pain as soon as he was gone. The pain came nudging at me and I fell to the bed, grabbing and holding the bed sheet tight like it's the cause of my predicament.I tried hard not to cry.No...he can't see me cry. He definitely can't. Not after I've told him I'm okay.I seem to be better when he's around.I heard the bathroom door creaking open, and I had to quickly adjust and put on a smiling face.He dropped his to

Chapter 25LOUIS!Ruby's Pov;I watched as he eyes quickly changed from anger to rage and to other emotions that I can't describe." What do you mean?" he asked calmly this time." I made her arrange for it. Ruby is still very young and this would help her learn alot. She would benefit alot from it also, I figured" his Dad spoke up calmly.He was way too calm and I know this angered Nathan more.I stared at him to see the way his fist gripped the glass of water firmly.I feared the glass might break, but the next thing I know, he got up swiftly." And where do you think you're going young man?" Mr Martins asked, his voice still as calm as ever." Work. I've lost my appetite" he replied razzingly and started walking away." Be on time. Your secretary will let you in on the rest of the details when you get to work" Mr Martins voice stopped him.He turned to look at his Dad with a look of disbelief on his face, and with a scoff, he walked off finally.Phew!! That was something.Now I kno

Chapter 27FIRST CLASSRuby's Pov;Holy Moly!! There he was. Nathan! He was walking majestically towards me, ignoring the stares, screams and shouts from people.Goodness!! I didn't think he would be able to come alone. I mean without guards, but he's here.He walked so elegantly till he got close to me.Not sparing me a glance, he walked past me, going to the class.The mini crowd that had formed began to disperse slowly, some satisfied they were able to get a glimpse of the almighty Nathan Martins, while others were extraordinarily happy because they were able to get a picture of him.I just blushed and ran after him.We met other people in the class and finally settled down on a seat at the back.I was by far the youngest there. Technically speaking, I'm not even supposed to be there." Good day couples" a very young lady came before us and said.I figured she was the marriage counselor. She was practically grinning from ear to ear, showing her perfect detention.I started wonderi

Chapter 29Ruby's Pov;I walked to class that morning feeling tired and moody." You okay?" Diane asked, noticing my mood.I forced out a smile before nodding.We hadn't settled down for long when the bell rang and a teacher came in.**" Is that all he said afterwards?" I asked, pressing her to tell me all that Mr Carmen said when I left yesterday." We would be having a parents and a teachers meeting soon" she informed, sipping out from her juice." For what?" I asked arching my brows.It sounded childish to me.She shrugged her shoulders making me roll my eyesI guess he didn't say anything meaningful after all." Hey, have you heard?" she lowered her voice and asked, her neck stretching over from the other side of the table to mine." Hear what?" I asked in return my voice was equally low too." Louis is gonna release a single soon" she said and squealed happily.I rolled my eyes again. Gosh!! I can't believe I used to be part of the girls acting this way.Now, it just seems noth
