CHAPTER SIX

Thompson's POV

What did this little brat actually mean by me apologizing to the whole class if I am a gentleman? Does she really know me? How can I possibly do that. I shouldn't have written that for her. She had that courage to approach me because I have got too much time to apologize to her by writing a letter. Do I need to apologize to the whole class just to impress her? To hell with an apology to the whole class. What did I even do wrong.

I realized she didn't want to get close to Dayne anymore. But why? Did she hear us quarreling outside the classroom? Dayne's mood was not as usual throughout the day. He didn't go out for lunch and he didn't walk with Dora to the bus stop also.

I feel very disturbed for hurting my bestfriend because of a girl and this girl is not even ready to pay attention to me. I feel I am selfish just because of what I did. I think I need to apologize to Dayne. I will do that tomorrow when we meet.

I went to my locker and as I was about to open I saw Dora walking alone down the car park. She wasn't happy. But where is Chloe, her friend? I can't go and ask her so I went back to the music studio where Chloe usually go after class to ask her why Dora is sad. She responded she didn't know why. I wasn't expecting the next question that came out of her mouth.

"Why do you care about her? When did she become your friend? If you care about her that much why not walk to her to ask her what is wrong with her?"

"Nothing but i just want to be her friend. Is there anything wrong with that?" I responded trying to process what happened during the day in my mind. I didn't wait to hear anything else from Chloe.

I decided to apologise to the whole class the next day but I'm only doing this to impress her.

I have to do the same to Dayne. Dayne just passed by me without even looking my way to talk of talking to me.

" Dayne, please listen to me. Dayne. Dayne". I followed him but he didn't bother to stop.

My driver just arrived and I need to go.

" Dayne I am so sorry for hurting you with my words". I shouted out at him hoping he will hear what I needed to tell him.

I gathered all the courage in the world just to stand in front of the class to apologize. Immediately I saw Dora and Chloe walk in, I walked to stand in front of the students.

All I could hear myself say was " class please pardon me for disturbing the whole class yesterday. The worst part was that it was my personal issue. Please forgive me. Thank you".

Students started murmuring among themselves. They were wondering why I could do such thing in-front of the class. A whole me.

I think I have done my part to impress her. My next move is to befriend her.

I was immediately depressed when I saw that she wasn't bothered about what I was doing at all. I went to my seat and the day went by as usual. I promised myself to just to take my mind off her but its not easy for me.

Dora will not have me as a friend again.

After the tutor left the class this morning, Dora walked to me.

I was rejoicing in my heart because I actually thought she was coming to initiate friendship between us but was disappointed once more.

She came to apologized for ordering me to do something that was not out of my will. Seriously?

I presented the bouquet of flowers and other gifts to Dora on her birthday this year but she returned the gifts back to me in front my friends. Which girl in his right senses will turn me down in this school. I am every girls dream boyfriend and future husband, the heir of the Jones group of companies.

I also took a step on Valentines day and same thing happened. Which kind of hard is she. Its been 3 years she was admitted to this school and she still hasn't changed. I have to do something to make her mine before best friend makes his move to win her heart.

We have been in multiple work groups. That is the only way I could communicate with her. I have fallen in love with this girl since day one but she keeps ignoring me all these while. We will be graduating this December and will that mean that I wouldn't see her again?

I have to do something.

College selection time came and we all chose our preferred colleges and courses we would love to pursue. I am going into business management at Harvard University while I learnt from Chloe that Dora wants to pursue Law in Stanford University. Wow that is wonderful.

She deserves the best anyway. But I have to continue the lineage of my family.
