The Unexpected encounter

"Annabel had always loved Jack, but he sees her as his sex mate, a handsome rich Playboy who doesn't care about true love; Annabel was one of his many girlfriends.

 His house was next to ours, but he was always busy with girls to notice her. 

He walked towards Annabel, who was waiting for him in the corridor to see him 

 She was really, annoyed but tried her best to stay calm 

"Hey" Jack she said to him calmly, as she tried to hug him but he pushed her away

 'Common Annabel," what's it this time he said, frowning his handsome face. 

 " Well "Jack I called to No how are you feeling, you didn't even seem to notice me, what did I do wrong, she said almost in tears 

"Thought we broke up already, I don't need you anymore,e," he said 

 I do, but I still care for you, Jack I stop... 

"I care for no one" and you know that just take this, he said handing her some cash

 "That's for servicing me well"

"What?" Annabel exclaimed in shock and tears

"Yeah, so get out of my way OK," Jack said and walked away with style, leaving Annabel in tears

"How could he dump me like this?" Annabel said, rising to her feet in tears

 {Down the school hall}

 " How could he do this to me Annabel said in tears as her friends consoled her 

 We need to get back at her Lucy said 

" Yeah you're correct Jane said she's the cause of all this and I think it's high time we show her who's boss around here 

 No, not yet I have a surprise for him, I have something special for her, you guys should just leave her for me to deal with 

 Emily and Faith were on their way to the next class, she could not stop thinking about what just happened between her and Jack. Emily couldn't shake off the new feeling, faith who noticed her silence asked her what she was worried about 

 Hope it's not that witch that called herself Annabel cause am going to personally deal with her if she messes with us 

 During class, Miss Love dropped by to hand them some of their assignment from their previous class but Emily didn't receive 

 As soon as Miss Love was through with the class 

 Annabel barges into class angrily, heading in Emily, 's direction 

 , she couldn't contain her anger again 

 "You think you're so special, like you can just come in and take everything from me right?"

 Her eyes flashed with anger. "Stealing Jack, getting all the attention with your little tricks and smiles right, well guess what I'm sick and tired of you and am warning you to stay away from him or else...she said giving her a slap this will happen and am not done with you cause I have a little surprise for you 

 " Meanwhile Faith who was watching the fight with others came around 

 " That's enough fight for today and I mean it.

 Why don't you mind your business, Annabel said 

 Am already taking it personally so just stop and don't you ever lay your filthy hands on Emily again, 

Emily's face reddened. "I'm not trying to steal anyone's attention," I'm just here to focus on my studies, she replied, feeling nervous and scared. 

Annabel's laughter was cold. "Oh, I see," but you're going to regret crossing me Emily, we're not done, just watch your back 

"And with that, she left Emily who was now on the floor crying as Faith arrived in time to console her 

 "Hey," common now, she's not worth it, and it's my fault that I was not here in time for you, but don't worry cause I will personally take care of her, Faith said calmly.

 Emily sniffled, cleaning her face with one of her... please Faith don't start anything, I have had enough trouble for today, she said as Faith hugged her tightly 

 You deserve much better than arguing with Annabel. Let's get out of here so we can focus on the sports, and I think it's high time you make it clear to Jack that you're not ready for any relationship,p Faith said.

 As they walked into the field, they saw Jack who was looking hot and stunning as he approached them

 "Hey," Emily, can we talk for a second, ok..... 

 like privately 

 I'm going no were, just say whatever you're saying I don't have all day

 "Am sorry about what Annabel did to you seriously she can be like that when she's really angry but am sure that she will get over it 

 "Wow, so you're now apologizing for another. Behave right, faith said angrily, slapping him.

 Stay away from Emily cause the next time I see you or any of your "girlfriends" near her, I won't be this kind to you.

As the closing bell rang, we headed back home, grateful that today's classes were over.

The hot weather drove me to seek relief in our pool. After putting on my bikini, I made my way downstairs.

"Should I join you?" Faith asked.

"No, thank you," I declined. Her presence would only disrupt my peaceful swim; I just wanted to swim without any interruptions.

I dove into the refreshing water, relishing its cool embrace. This was exactly what I needed.

I swam for a while before Emerging from the pool, I started to make my way to the lounge chair when I heard music coming from the neighboring house.

Turning to investigate, I was taken aback to see a guy on the balcony, staring directly at me.

Without a second thought, I knew it was Jack, so I grabbed my towel to cover myself. What a pervert!

I glanced back, but he was gone. 

Returning to my room, I changed into dry clothes, but the encounter lingered in my mind. Why was he watching me again after all the warnings?

Settling onto my bed with my phone in hand, all I wanted was a nap.

As I turned over, I caught him staring at me AGAIN!

"What's wrong with you?" I demanded, rising from my bed.

"Me? What did I do?" He said calmly.

"I think you've been following me," I accused, moving closer to my window.

"But I'm not," he countered, making me roll my eyes.

"You were watching me in the pool, and again when I was trying to nap. You're invading my privacy," I retorted.

"Invading your privacy? My room is opposite yours, and I was on the balcony before you came out to swim. So technically, you're at fault," he reasoned.

"Me? At fault? What's wrong with you?" I scoffed.

"Jack Mrs. Austin's voice broke through the air as she entered the room where he was lounging.

"Hi, Aunt," I greeted warmly, flashing a genuine smile.

"Wait, you know this girl?" he said curiously.

"Yes, I do," Mrs. Austin confirmed with a warm smile directed at me.

"How are you doing?" she asked, her concern palpable.

"I'm good, thanks. How about you?" I replied politely.

"I'm fine," she responded with a gentle nod. "Oh, this is my son, Jack," she introduced.

"And Jack, this is Emily," she added with a smile. We exchanged a hesitant glance, neither of us eager to initiate a greeting. 

"Mom we've met already in the school 

"Yeah, correct, we met at the school, Emily said, trying her best to maintain a neutral demeanor despite the strong tension between us.

"Okay, can you and your friend come have dinner with us? I heard your parents aren't around again." 

 The mention of dinner caught me off guard, my mind racing with thoughts and concerns. Dinner with Mrs. Austin and her son? How would that go?
