The Bet

Chapter 22

Emilia's POV

I never felt so relieve for a long time. Talking about my past greatly help lessen the burden. Nicole and Natalia were both very kind and caring people. They weren't judgmental not looked down on me.

The incident on the woods was kept private that even the council was not aware of what truly happened. All everyone knew was that Nick had gotten into fight. My attack was not disclosed.

Nicole and I was allowed to get the rest of the week off but I chose not too. Nick did the same even if I told her to just rest.

"Em... we're here." She said and parked the car. But before I get off, she stopped me for a while. "Hey... Just wondering how we will be today... I mean... we're together now... I'm wondering of we would kept it to ourselves or you know..." She blushed as she tried to asked me those questions and she looked so adorable in being confused.

"Well... I don't want to stir much attention... And I wouldn't really want to get attack by your fan club so maybe we could keep it down a bit?" I responded.

"Sure... No problem." I was about to alight but I noticed that the door's still locked. "Is there anything else?"

"Erhmmm... you see... Next week's the ball... Would you be my date?" She finally asked.

"Yeah... About that... I'm not really coming."

"Why?"

"It's complicated." I lied but the only reason that I'm not coming was because I don't have anything to wear and I don't really want to spend my little savings on a dress.

"Okay then..." She replied.

"If there aren't anything else then can you unlock the door? We're going to be late."

"Oh yeah.., sorry."

Nicole's POV

"Argh... My whole body sore..." I whined to myself. It was best if I probably just rest since my ribs still hurts like a bitch.

There's only one place that I could go now... The clinic. I'm sure Lindsay will let me rest for the whole day.

"Heh Nick! I heard about yesterday. I'm glad you're okay." I said thanks and went directly to the bed. "So you finally graduated from my clinic to hospitals ah..." She joked.

"Yeah..." I ran along since I wanted to kill the conversation. "Can you wake me up at lunch?"

"Sure... Just rest."

Jane's POV

It was already lunch time and I have never seen my best friend around. I have sent her several messages but she wasn't answering.

"Hey Jane!" I turned around to see James. "Have you seen my iPad? I can't find it sine yesterday."

"You probably left it at the penthouse." I replied. "Have you seen Nick?"

"No... She wasn't at our class this morning. Have you tried the clinic?" I shook my head no. "She's probably sleeping somewhere since I saw her truck's still on the parking."

Brad, Tony and Tin then appeared from the corner. The three have the same classes before lunch. "Sup guys!"

"Jane..." Tin started. "Have you got your dress already?"

"Tin... I was actually debating on wearing a tux." I honestly said. "For a change..." I have nothing against wearing a dress... In fact, I love dresses and heels but this time, I feel like wearing a tux. I can already picture myself wearing an all black tux with bow tie that matches Tin's dress. Then I would just tie my long brown hair into a pony or something.
