Chapter 4

The next day was Tuesday. Charm signed up for the Art and Dance clubs. she and Trisha were getting to know each other well, She pretended that everything was really new to her.

When it was time for history class, She knew what was up.

Mr George the history teacher was quite a man of his words. He took everything seriously and he didn't like failures. Well that day he started his usual Challenge my students to do better and greater. Setting his assignment, he told them eagerly.

After the class lesson.

"I will share you guys in groups of two each." He said" you will research on a historical event and prepare a speech for the class...Now choose your partner"

Trisha was obviously about to ask Charm to join her, but David asked Trish immediately. She couldn't refuse him because she already had a thing for him. Charm knew who her partner would be, in the past she didn't expect Scott to come to her, But this time in all expectancy she looked at him, and saw him turning Samantha's offer for a partner down and making for her.

It slowly dawn on her... Scott and Samantha already knew each other. She never knew that they did. "Hi...umm Charm" she heard him say her name, Looking up shyly she replied"Hi.."

"I don't think no one is serious about this History project..I was wondering if you would...be my partner"

She smiled "But am a transfer student...Do you know if am serious or not"

He stood and thought for awhile"I love trying new things"

After school the next day they decided to Move to Scott's house to learn, as Scott drove her, she had a lot of things on her mind. On getting to his house, she stared at his room window, Not saying anything to him, he took her to his basement, where there was a reading table and two chairs opposite each other.

"My Dad isn't around...umm"

She looked at him and smiled "it's okay"

When the sat down, he brought two cups of lemonade, suddenly recalling how conservative she was and how she hardly trusted people in the past she turned down his drink offer."I don't want it..."

"Miss you really have trust issues"

"Am glad you Noticed, but I still don't want it".

He took a sip, just to prove to her that it wasn't poisoned. Looking at him for awhile she still stood her ground" hope you don't get dizzy after that.."

††††††††††††. †**********

Trisha ran towards her in the hall way, "Baby girl!!!!" Staring at her mad friend she asked "what's up."

Trisha obviously out of breath asked coyly "is it true that you hanged out with 'The' Scott Willson"

Charm laughed, it was like, her life was a Movie, she had her favourite scenes and her worst, laughing out loud she replied" whats with the emphasis in his name, is not like his a rockstar or anything, and plus we didn't hang, we are project partners, period"

At that exact moment Scott, passed them with two of his friends, he winked at charm, Looking less affected she murmured "Am I supposed to smile at that?"

Trisha stared at her "Am weird, but you are absolutely anormal"

Another day in his house,Charm felt more comfortable, They were supposed to talk about a certain Man, Peter Lou a popular writer,who was unable to speak who happened to be one of the important people who brought about the Emancipation of his town from injustice. He was not fully Educated but his written works was able to save a lot of people. He was brave and fought courageously, imprisoned Many times, and punished but he still persevered.

Charm kept writting and a certain thought came into her head, she was about to say what she hadn't said before in the past.

"it's really hard to see the likes of Peter in this day and age..."

Scott stared at her " Why would you say that..."

She lowered her eyes" imagine if Peter promised to save his people and all of a sudden after the first imprisonment, he gives up and let's Everyone he has ever loved down....am sure you and I wouldn't be writing about him right now"

"He was a promise keeper for sure"Scott smiled Trying to make the conversation less emotional.

"Why do people break promises?" She asked Scott, tears almost coming out. "Charm!" Rache screamed "Change the topic!"

Realizing herself, she thought of something "Scott.." she said his name in her perfect sweet pretend voice. "You keep promises right?"

He looked at her, like he had been casted by a spell. "Of course Charm...I Never let people I care about down.." Charm thought scornfully, let's watch you keep that.

Rache appeared to her in her room , after her shower. "Do you have to be emotionally stupid all the time?"

Charm put on her night gown "I have to be honest with you, a lot of teenagers are emotionally stupid most of the times...so yh I guess it's pretty normal that I am!"

Rache regarded her sternly "I don't need to remind you that you have two parents that seem to be living with you under the same roof. I would appreciate it if you kept your silly voice down".

Charm sat down on the floor, she seemed to tame the anger in her slowly, burying her knees in her arms, she sighed. " I should have just let Samantha, hurt him"

" I won't lie" Rache replied"that could have been better"

Charm replied "I need to learn control, I need to have Control, I need to Control..."

"That shouldn't really be your aim..."Rache answered bluntly "You have to work on yourself, And to do that you have to stop lying to yourself, in other to discover what's really wrong with you."

Charm stood up slowly" Changing some lines in the script won't affect anything in the future right? Rache laughed "Now her life is her Movie....well If there are Minor Changes, Their will be Minor effects, Major changes Major effects, it's that simple"

Charm laid down, covering her self with the bed sheet. "Well I guess there isn't any problem...I just have to play along more."

Rache looked at her like a mother would stare at a stubborn child."it doesn't mean you shouldn't watch the things you say to Scott or anybody..Do you hear me?

Charm gave a Coy smile"yes Goddess"
