A Rough Day

Thinking of how to help him, Lesley pointed to the opposite direction shouting,

"Isn't that the Actor Ryan Reynolds"?.

Every single face turned to that direction hoping to see him and so did the securities, even the staff.

Using that opportunity, the boy reached out for the necklace and hid it behind another necklace.

"Where the hell is Ryan Reynolds"? a random guy asked.

"Oh wait, My bad, I don't think that's him. I guess that's just his lookalike".

The crowd all made groaning noises.

Resuming the search of the boy's pocket, the security couldn't find anything. Same goes with Lesley.

"We didn't find anything on them".

"Are you sure? Did you search them thoroughly"?.

"Yes we did".

"Then where could the necklace be"?

Using this chance to redeem himself, he pointed to where he hid the necklace.

"Isn't this what you are looking for"?

"Oh my gosh, yes, yes, yes, it is".

"You see, I told you I didn't steal it" Lesley said.

The crowd not getting what they wanted , dispersed.

"Well, I guess neither of us stole it. So next time make sure to get your facts straight" the boy said in a cold manner.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for misunderstanding you guys. I'm really sorry" She apologized slightly bowing her head.

Lesley was quiet and staring at him the whole time, letting him be in charge. He gave her a glance, grabbed his backpack and started walking away.

'Isn't he even gonna thank me' Lesley thought.

She ran and grabbed his hand making him turn towards her.

"A thank you would be appreciated".

He looked at her and tilted his head slightly.

"A thank you? To whom? And for what exactly?.

'Is he actually kidding me' She thought.

"Obviously you're supposed to thank me. I literally just saved you like a minute ago".

"Oh that?..... Well all this drama wouldn't have happened if not for you".

"What the f*ck!!!!!!! Are you seriously blaming me for your actions. You literally brought that up on yourself".

"I'm not blaming you, just stating the facts, just as you said, and besides i would have gotten away with it if you hadn't implicated me and you yourself wouldn't have been implicated if you had walked away the minute you saw her searching for the necklace".

"Oh I see, you aren't even sorry for what you did. Besides how would I have known that she would accuse me of stealing it"?.

"Whatever, just be on your way and I'll go my own way" He said and walked away.

"You're such a jerk, I hope you know that" She shouted.

Lesley was really furious.

"How dare he blame me for what he did. Such a rude jerk".

"Lesley, Lesley, Lesley".

Upon hearing her name she turned and saw Julia running towards her.

"I'm sorry that I'm late. We had an issue".

"It's okay. What issue did you have"?.

"The orders my mom placed was actually switched with someone's else order. My mom's order was given to the person".

"So as it been solved"?.

"Yes, they called the person and told her that what they gave her wasn't her own order. She came here and we ended up switching it back".

"That's a relief".

"Your face isn't looking too good. Did anything happen, because I was hearing noises from inside".

"Ok, the craziest thing just happened to me now, I'll tell you all about it on the way home".

Upon getting to school the next day, Julia and Lesley continued their conversation about the boy.

"So did you get his name"?.

"His name? I didn't. He couldn't even thank me so I doubt he would've told me his name if I asked, besides he's a jerk so I don't even wanna know his name".

"Did he get your own name"?.

"Seriously Julia, why would you even think I would tell him my name"?.

"Because you think he's gorgeous".

"I don't think he's gorgeous".

"Yes you do. You made sure to emphasize that he's gorgeous when you were telling me everything".

"Oh did i"?.

"Yes you did".

"Well, I think he's handsome but he really has a bad personality and that spoils everything".

"We'll talk about this more during lunch break" Julia said upon seeing a teacher come into their class.....

During lunch break, the main door swung open and a boy accompanied by another boy walked in causing a stir amongst the students.

Girls were smiling sheepishly at them and whispering to each other.

Lesley mouth were wide opened making her spoon drop upon seeing the boy.

She totally recognized him.

It was the same boy that stole the necklace, causing a ruckus at the mall yesterday.

'What was he doing here' she thought.

Julia upon seeing her jaw dropping face smiled.

"I know, he's handsome. Everyone thinks so".

"Does he school here"? Lesley asked.

"Yes he does, that is Rodney and the boy beside him is his best friend Nathan. He's actually the most popular boy here in Hayfield. His dad is actually the most wealthiest sponsor the school as ever had. This is probably your first time seeing him, he hasn't been in school since last two weeks due to his mom illness, but I guess he's back".

She happily clapped both hands.

"Oh no, of all the whole school in this city, why does he have to attend this school"?

"What are you talking about"?.

"You know about the boy I told you yesterday"?.

"Yes I know, we were just talking about him in class".

"That is him".

"Who? Rodney? Nathan?".

"Rodney".

"WHAT?!!!!!!! Are you sure you're not mistaken"?.

"I'm sure. This is my third time seeing his face, so his face is literally implanted in my memories".

"Oh no, this is not good. We don't want to mess with him".

"Why not?. Besides he was the one that messed with me first".

"It doesn't matter. Didn't you hear what I was saying earlier. His dad is literally the most wealthiest sponsor the school as ever had".

"Holy shit".

At that moment Rodney was looking around and turned to their direction. In an attempt to hide her face from him Lesley banged her head loudly on the table making everyone look at their direction..

It was so awkward as it was Julia that had to bear with the stares.

"Why did you do that"? Julia whispered.

"Didn't you see? He looked at our direction and I don't want him to see my face" Lesley said still hiding her face on the table.

"How are you sure he hasn't seen your face"?

"Oh my God, do you think he already saw me"?.

"Yes I think so".

"For real"?

Julia stared at her and laughed.

"No I don't think so, just teasing you".

Lesley smacked her laps.

"This isn't the time to be teasing me. This is a life and death situation".

"Ok calm down, it isn't that deep".

"But you're the one that said we shouldn't mess with him".

"I know I said that and I still stand by it, but it hasn't reach life and death situation yet".

"Yet? That means it could still reach it".

"Ok calm down girl. You know what, this atmosphere is kinda suffocating, let's get out of here".

"Yes, let's do that. I can't even eat my food in peace anymore. Please cover me Julia".

They stepped out of the cafeteria with Julia covering Lesley with her body.

"What should I do now Julia?. If I had known he was this influential I would have just avoided that situation".

"C'mon girl, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm sure it wasn't that serious".

"I called him a jerk Julia, A JERK".

"Oh........ Well, maybe he won't take it that personal besides what is he even doing stealing? It's not like he couldn't afford it".

"That was what I thought too. He was literally on expensive designer outfits that day so I was wondering what he was doing stealing a necklace he could probably afford".

"Maybe his dad cut off his credit card".

"Or he could be a kleptomania".

*Laughs* "Oh my God Lesley, you have a wild thought".

"It might be true".

"I doubt it is. Anyways so what is your next plan"?.

"I DON'T KNOW, I'm probably gonna avoid him for the time being".

"But you know you can't avoid him forever. You both attend the same school. One way or the other, you guys will encounter each other".

"Uuuuuuuuugh, I don't like this but this is the only option I have... Wait, please don't tell me he is part of our class".

"Don't worry, he's not. He's in the upper class".

"Phew".
