Chapter 10: An Apology or not? 1.

':Huh? Did I say that out loud?'' Maria didn't know she said that out loud.

''I don't have bipolar disorder. I am just different when I am outside school''. Carl said.

His feet are different. Only he knew how he coaxed Calia into teaching him how to behave towards a girl he liked.

He even had to give that wrench a blank cheque just so she could teach him. He learned everything and decided to come and look for her. He felt great that Maria noticed the change and felt he didn't waste his money after all.

Meanwhile Calia was at her quarters swinging the blank cheque fanning herself with it. She was yet to decide on the amount to put in it and how to use it.

Calia never imagined that her cousin would be a hopeless romantic when he was in love. To the extent of giving her a blank cheque. She was in a very good mood but was soon disturbed by the doorbell that rang.

Calia walked to the door and opened it and saw the butler at her door 'Uncle Max, is anything the matter?'

''Like this, young Miss. There is someone here looking for the young master. She said her name was Karen Kash. I saw the young master coming to your quarters. Is he still here?'' Butler Max said.

''No, uncle Max. He stepped out in his car to get something. You can tell her to go back. Even if Ad is around, he wouldn't want to see her''. Calia smiled mischievously.

''Yes, Miss. I will do that''.

''And, don't mention anything about me. She is from our school. I don't want her to know about me''. Calia added and the butler nodded his head before turning to go.

Calia went back to her hall and picked the iPad on the table. She turned on the screen to one of the cameras at the main quarters and saw Karen standing at the door. Calia sighed and murmured to herself 'wow, she is trying too hard'.

The butler went back to the main quarters gate and spoke to Karen who was waiting there.

''Miss, our young master stepped out a few minutes ago''.

''Carl is not inside?'' Karen asked cautiously and looked at her wrist watch. It was almost 19: 00PM.

''Okay. I will come back another time''. Karen said and went out. She got into her car and the driver drove away. Karen bit her lips angrily. She decided to come against her own pride and he wasn't even in the house. Where could he have gone? She thought.
