Chapter 7

"Hey" charm looked up in Cafeteria as Stan called her. She smiled "Stanley...How are you?"

He gave a small smirk"Am hungry....can I join you?" Trish pinched Charm trying to stop her from, Accepting his offer...but Charm allowed being nice enough.

He talked about school and his Mum's NGO. Charm seemed more interested, she always had this deep admiration for those that helped people in need. "I would really love to meet your mum one day..."She told him.

Giving a short nervous laugh Stan replied" Of course you will...." Excusing himself "Umm Charm, Trish...I would just go get some juice...I would be right back" as he stood to Leave...Charm Finally Noticed Scott at the far end of the table opposite hers...He was staring Sadly at her, She couldn't tell if it was Anger...or Pain..but she could see through his eyes. She wondered why the both of them hadn't felt awkward just staring at each other. Realizing herself she broke the eye lock.

Trish slapped her head" What's with Mr Stan staying at our table?" She yucked"I have a bad feeling about that dude...I don't like how pushy he is...plus you guys just met yesterday...give me a break"

Charm replied sternly "Can't I make friends apart from you? Trish?"

Feeling guilty Trish replied"you know I don't mean that..."

Charm Nodded"it's okay...I was just joking...besides Stan seems to be a Nice Guy..." Charm spoke wondering if Scott read her lips. She felt silly just thinking about that. But she Did.

"By the way..."Trish remembered we are gonna give the class presentation tomorrow"

Charm squeezed her hand...."I forgot"

Trish held her shoulders"Scott's your partner right?...why don't you put your Ego aside and learn with him."

Charm shook her head "we have already studied"

"But you need to prepare....your grades are important...Charm don't be silly"

They stopped talking as Stan joined them.

"Charm"Scott called approaching her in the hallway after school, She stopped and looked at him without saying a word. Expecting him to say something.

"Tommorow's Class P....was wondering if we could study together...I forgot...."

Charm cut him short. "Obviously you would....Forget"

She Sighed "Let's go"

His Dad was in the house by the time they arived

"Dad...meet Charm Smith....Charm my Dad" taking his hands nervously she greeted his Dad.

"Well Son...I just came by to pick some important file....Have fun"

Scott gave a quick smile and led Charm to the basement.

Charm kept a serious face, she didn't look Scott in the eye, her eyes were on the books, she explained to him about everything.

"Peter Lou.... here's what we are gonna do, am gonna talk about his writtings and how he fought for his people....Well you would summarise his imprisonment and death....is that okay?"

She waited for a reply...but he didn't say anything. She raised her eyes and saw his on her. "Am I talking to a dead person?" He shook...Oh sorry. She realized that he was lost in thought." There was one important research we didn't get..." He finally spoke, giving her a paper. Charm was shocked "Peter was a Mute?"

"Yes" he replied"Some documentaries and researchers say, He Never spoke or said a word since he was born"

Charm was fascinated and Smiled. "Wow this would help alot..."

She then heard him say "It's been quite a while...since I saw you smile". She ignored his comments and continued.

"Soo since you know all about Peter's being a mute and all too well....you could take that.....and"

He didn't let her finish.

"Are you Mad at me for another reason?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You can't be this Mad.... because of a Kiss....is There something I did?"

"What makes you think that? Scott....did you do something?"

"I just feel, there's something making you More angry"

"We just Met a week ago...Don't be silly"she defended.

"That's the thing....The first time I bumped into you in the Cafeteria...you looked Soo angry...You stared at me that way. And trust me I know the difference between a Standoffish look and an Angry one."

Standing up from the chair...She moved away."I gotta go...it's getting late.."

"Charm?"

She heard him call her, but she ran, climbed up the stairs, passing the Living room she stood outside His house. Tears rushing in. He touched her shoulders and turned her.

"Atleast I could take you home?"

She Accepted, entering the car.

As they drove, Charm kept thinking about alot of things. The same pain, came in...it took a lot of her to hold back the tears. She stared at the road avoiding Scott's eyes.

She didn't see this coming, she didn't know what to expect.

Had she changed her story completely without realising.

She had to fix it.

"Am sorry" she said as he pulled over.

"Come again?" Scott asked teasingly.

"Am only gonna "Come again"if this car gets moving"

He laughed. "Fine"starting the Car she continued. "I am pretty jerky...Am sorry I treat you rudely."

She managed to look at him. Rache spoke up in her head. "the goal is to, win him over then break him, am glad you understand that."

Scott smiled till he got to her house and he didn't stop. She noticed how happy she made him.

"Are you okay Dear" her mother asked her while they were in the kitchen."Mum....why won't I be " Charm replied forcing a smile.

"Well lately...you have been acting different, and sometimes lost in thought, I even Noticed how you sometimes talk to yourself"

Charm thought... Funny how a Mother Could read her Daughter So well in such awkward moments.

"Oh mum...I don't know...I just feel under the weather most times...maybe it's cause we moved here newly" she lied, it was not like she wanted to, but she knew her Mum was the last person that would understand the Mission go back in time to break boyfriend's heart,She stretched. I wanna go to bed now. Am done with the dishes.

As she lay down on the bed, she thought of how things suddenly changed. She didn't understand anymore, and it became a hard task each new day. She muttered to her self. Alot of Minor Changes I have made,seem to have piled up alot of Major effects.

What's gonna happen Next?

She tried to call Rache... But later she decided against it.

I rather figure out things by myself. I started this, I have to finish it.
