Chapter 27
As I walk in I notice that everyone is already seated,the professor already teaching.I casually take a seat in the back ignoring the stares.As soon as I sit I find a pair of eyes glued to me,I turn my gaze to see Raphael grinning cockily at me.
I turn my face away rolling my eyes,the sight of him annoyed to no ends
Don't smile too much,the only thing I need you for is money.
I turn my face back to him and I give him a tight lipped smile and a nod and turn my face away.To my surprise Selena walks through the door strutting in like to owns the place.
I scoff
"I didn't know she was in the same class with us.Its a small world after all" I mutter to myself
Not that I care though,but the last time I checked she was never really into sociology.
Unless of course she came for her Ralphy poo
I shudder, feeling embarrassed on his behalf,that's the name she used to call him when we were in highschool.
I guess she's still fangirling over him till this day
She takes a seat by my left and takes off her jacket revealing her low cut blouse showing a lot more cleavage than she should allow.She waves seductively and winks at Raphael before eyeing me up and down facing the board.
The guys in the back start to mumble loudly and start to distract the class.
This is interesting
The professor turns around clearly annoyed
"What's all the noise for, everyone shut up"he says.However his expression changes when he spots Selena and I see his eyes wander down to her boobs.Then he shoots his eyes back up clearly trying to control himself.He clears his throat standing straight.
"And who might you be,I don't remember you being in my class"he asks lowering his glasses examining her a bit as if trying to recognize her
"I am one of your students actually,I just don't come to your class ever so often" she says innocently, leaning over a bit,showing even more cleavage with an innocent smile on her face
The professor struggles to keep his composure "oh I see" he says but mutters a "I'll look up on the register" before going back to the board
She looks back at me and smirks and I return an unfazed bitch face
What the fuck are you looking at?
I really don't need this drama right now I already have enough on my plate at the moment.
I reach my hand into my coat pocket and take out the phone.Then I reach into my purse and bring out my old spare sim card that i barely use and I place it in the phone then turn it on.
I go to the message app and text my mom telling her about the day before.
She doesn't respond immediately so I text Ann, she's the second person who knows about this number.
And she texts back immediately
Good now everything is in order
I turn my gaze up and find Raphael looking at me but he throwing his face to the other side when his gaze meets mine
What is wrong with this one today?
My phone vibrates checking me attention.I received a notification from Ann
*"Ma'am a strange number called the house the other day, I didn't know what the caller wanted,they didn't say anything and just ending the call a few seconds after.I tried to contact you but your phone was switched off"
What?
Did they try to trace me to my house?
I text her back almost immediately,my thumbs clashing fiercely on the keyboards
*"At what time did they call?"
Cold sweat begins to gather on my forehead as I see the ellipsis on the screen appear
*"9:30 pm"
*"Let me see their number"
I reply in the speed of light
She sends a picture of the call log on the house phone and I i immediately spot the odd one out of it
Bingo
One this people were dumb enough to do was to not use a private number
I smirk feeling a little bit in control and I text her back.This is good
*"Once they call again let me know"
*"Yes ma'am" she replies immediately
I lean back feeling a little better,now we're getting somewhere
I receive another text as my phone vibrates and I check and see it's from my mother
*"Honey we have a problem,he wants to double the amount to 9 billion"
"what!"I burst out causing everyone to look at me
"Is there a problem miss?"asks the professor pausing from the lecture looking at me
"No,no,not at all.Carry on"he reply feigning a smile
He looks at me suspiciously but turns back anyway, everyone turns around back to the board some whispers can be heard here and there while others continue learning
I'm officially screwed
From the looks of things I'll have to do this myself
"I need help"I mutter resting my head on my desk
"What drugs are you on,I might be needing them too"I hear Selena whisper at me causing some small laughter
"The same ones you took this morning before dressing like a harlot"I reply causing some gasps and laughter "for a girl as pretty as you are you should at least have some class and not wear things that make you look cheap"
"Talk about being cheap right now huh how about you stop sleeping around with my man,you know that you're always going to be second best and there's nothing that can change that"
"Fuck you"U spit at her irritated,she always knew how to get on my nerves somehow, it was almost like that was her greatest super power
"Hey knock it off you two"whispers Raphael and I internally fight the urge him his own share of "fuck you"
I hate the fact that I need him right now more than ever.
Whoever is behind these threats is definitely going down for making me pass through all of this
One way or another
