''Does he think we are acting 'Jewel in the Palace. I'm really going crazy. I'm should just die. What terrible sin did I commit in my previous life to be treated this way in this life?'' Paige continued to talk as she and Carlien walked out of their chemistry lecture hall.
''So, he gave you a new phone just so you could run errands for him?'' Carlien asked finding the situation quite amusing and Paige not sensing the sarcasm in her question turned to face her.
''Yes, but Carly, why does it have to be ? Why did I have to et that guy? He is suffering from a prince syndro. He is just a stack up bastard'' Paige cussed again and Carlien couldn't stifle her laughter anymore and busted out laughing uncontrollably pissing Paige off the more ''Carly, are you even my friend? What is funny about my predicant?''
''I'm sorry Paige. Is just that I haven't seen you so mad at soone like this before. This guy must really be your nesis. Is just so funny the way he is literally bossing you around'' Carlien said and tried to stop laughing.
''Is not funny that you are finding joy in my problems, Carly'' Paige said.
''Alright, I won't laugh again. Let's go and get sothing to eat. I'm so hungry'' Carlien said and held Paige's hand as they walked away.
''Wait. Carly, I forgot to tell you sothing important. Even though my life sucks right now, I suddenly feel that my love life is going to take a turn for the better very soon'' Paige said excitedly.
''You still have the ti to daydream?'' Carlien said to Paige and shook her head.
''I am not daydreaming, Carl. Guess who broke to school today?'' Paige asked.
''Do I need to guess when I already know the obvious answer? Is it Joel?'' Carlien said and asked back. Paige nodded her head excitedly and pulled Carlien along towards a restaurant in the school campus.
''Yes, he even said he likes the fact that I greet him every day before I go to school'' Paige said.
''Did he?'' Carlien asked sceptically.
''Oh, look at you with those doubting eyes. He did and he was so cool, I almost cried right there and then'' Paige said.
''Does it an he is finally noticing you?'' Carlien asked curiously.
''Yes, I guess so. Oh, I'm so happy?'' Paige said and grinned happily as they went but the voice of a certain soone drained all the joy in her away a second after.
''Hey, Part-ti. Didn't you see my missed calls?'' Jordan Attoh said and the two ladies turned and saw him right in front of them. Paige gave a fright and almost fell but Jordan Attoh stretched his long hands and held her hand steadily adding ''are you going to pretend that you didn't see my incoming calls, Part-tir?''
Paige pursed her lips and stepped away from him before she removed the phone to check and chuckled shockingly at the amount of missed calls in the call ''20 missed calls? Hey, are you kidding ? You started calling the second I stepped out of class?'' Paige asked and looked at him.
''Hi, you must be her friend? I am Jordan Attoh and you are?'' Jordan Attoh ignored Paige and turned to Carlien. Carlien blushed and nodded her head saying.
''Yes, I am Carlien. Paige, I guess I will see you at ho'' Carlien said and turned to go but Paige held her hand.
''Where are you going? Wait for , we are going together'' Paige said and turned to Jordan asking ''can I help you with sothing?''
''My lunch'' Jordan said and Paige chuckled.
''Your lunch? Why are you asking about your lunch? Is not like I am the main chef in your palace or a royal concubine to provide you, a prince with food every ti'' Paige said and Carlien almost chuckled and leaned closer to her saying.
''Have you forgotten you are a slave and not even close to been a chef or royal concubine?'' Carlien said and laughed. Paige's face turned ugly as the realisation dawned on her. Jordan seeing her face changed had a smile on his as he said.
''I will be waiting inside my car, over there. I've sent you a list of the food I eat in the afternoon'' Jordan said and walked away and Paige shouted.
''Are you just taking revenge on or are you really hungry?'' Paige said angrily and turned to face Carlien. ''He is doing it on purpose, right? he is just doing that to rile up'' Paige complained helplessly and noticed Carlien smiling mischievously ''what is funny? Are you rejoicing in my pain?"
''Paige, I was just thinking. Maybe''
''Maybe what?'' Paige asked impatiently.
''Well, you know, maybe, he could be the one to help you get over Joel. If you two continue to spend ti together. he is also very handso and a total eye candy'' Carlien said.
''Stop!!!'' Paige placed her three fingers on Carlien's lips adding ''nothing is ever going to happen between that insufferable bastard and . even if it will happen, trust I will postpone it to the next two lives of my existence which also ans never in this entire lifeti. Are we done here? Let's go and get so food because I am starving'' Paige said and walked away. Carlien shrugged her shoulders and murmured as she followed closely behind Paige.
''But, I can already see it happening just like in the movies''
.....
20 minutes later, Paige arrived with Jordan's food and stretched her hands towards him saying ''here, your special salad dish''
''Thank you. you are such a good worthy slave. You listen and follow instructions well too'' Jordan said.
''I'm speechless'' Paige murmured to herself.
''Did you say sothing?'' Jordan asked.
''I said, I hope you don't choke on the salad and die a terrible death. It will be a waste of my good intentions'' Paige said and smiled pretending to be happy.
''Are you sure you are not cursing to choke on the salad and die, Miss Payin? Anyways, thanks for the food'' Jordan said.
''Okay'' Paige walked away murmuring ''how can there be such a man alive? He is like a chaleon, changing colours every ti''
....
The Choice Restaurant.
Paige walked out of the restaurant holding dressed in the staff uniform taking a heavy bag of refuse to put in the big dust bin at the corner of the restaurant. She opened the lids and separated the refuse according to their shapes and types before she closed the lids back.
Paige stretched her body tiredly and murmured ''finally, I can go ho to my bed'' she looked at her watched and went inside to grab her bag.
Paige walked to the roadside since the restaurant she worked for was located at a remote place in the area where only the rich dined.
Paige looked at a clubhouse across the street from where she stood and sighed. She looked at the different kinds of people walking and chatting excitedly as they walked towards the clubs. They were all about the sa age with her yet she was spending her twenties working part-tis just to make ends et.
'Let's go ho, Paige'' Paige said to herself as she walked away leaving the loud music behind her.
....
The next morning, Paige had an early lectures so she decided to go earlier and get a good place for herself only to arrive and Carlien sent her a ssage that the lecture had been called off. she cursed after looking at the ssage on her phone. She was already losing breath after running like that only for the lectures to be called off.
Paige kept the phone in her bag and turned to go towards the library when a car pulled over sharply right in front of her. it gave her a fright. When she saw Jordan getting down from the car, she scread at him.
''Are you crazy? You almost ran over with your car''
''I didn't. did I?'' Jordan said and flashed her a smile while looking at her scared face.
''I'm late for lectures. Excuse !!'' Paige lied and turned to go but Jordan held her hoodie, pulling her back ''what? Let go'' Paige protested.
''Co with '' Jordan said and held her hand.
''I have class to attend'' Paige said and frowned.
''It was postponed'' Jordan said.
''How did you know about that?'' Paige asked surprised.
''I saw your friend, Carly. She was the one who told about it'' Jordan said.
''That girl sure knows how to say what she is not supposed to say. And you, why are you calling her Carly so affectionately as if you two were friends? Only I can call her Carly. Everyone else must called her Carlien'' Paige said displeased.
''You sure are a jealous one. Co, I will miss the match if you waste any more ti'' Jordan said and dragged her to the car. he opened the passenger seat and pushed Paige inside and also got inside the driver's seat.
''Where are we going?'' Paige said as she buckled the seatbelt securely around herself.
''To watch football'' Jordan said as he drove out of the campus.
''But, I don't watch football?'' Paige said.
''Just sit and hold on tight'' Jordan said and started driving fast. Paige sat and held the holder at the top securely.
