Liana's Pov:
When I wake up the next morning, I can't find mum at home as she has already left for work. Perfect!
I follow my normal morning routine take my bath, eat and leave for school.
I get to class and meet Nicole there already, I wonder if I can ever beat her to it, She comes too early.
"Hello princess," she teases as I sit next to her.
"Hi," I reply with an eye roll, and she laughs.
"I've been waiting the entire day for you Liana. So tell me how was-"
"You wouldn't believe what happened," I cut her off knowing what she wants to say.
Her eyes beam immediately.
"Oh my gee! Liana spill it out already," she says curiously and I smile.
"Well first of all, I caught him making out with a lady in the restroom," I say and she gasps eyes widening.
"What???" she shrieks. "Making out... you mean they were having s3x?"
"What else does making out mean?" I ask and she gasps again.
"Oh my God Liana! Are you kidding me? And... hold on did you say you caught them? Like... you really?"
"Gosh! Of course not. I only heard them moaning from the room," I reply irritably and she sighs.
"Better. You're too young to see such a view," she says and I glare at her. She laughs.
"But this is really incredible. Hold on did he see you?" she asks.
"Yeah... when he was done with the lady. I had to wee and was washing my hands when he came up and stood behind me," I reply and she gasps, holding my hand.
"Oh, my God! You saw him? He... he saw you?" she bumbles,and I huff, releasing my hand from hers.
"Stop being so dramatic, Nicole. I mean, he asked why I was there because he had ordered the guards at the entrance not to let anyone in. Gosh! That guy's so rude. I felt like smacking him in the face. You won't believe what he told me. My bag had slipped from my hand and almost hit him and he asked if I was blind," I say loathfully and she gasps.
"Oh my gosh! He did?" she shrieks.
"Yes. And it was so annoying. Well I told him I wasn't blind."
"What? Liana, you did? You spoke back at him?"
"Of course. He's lucky I even apologised in the first place. Seriously, Nicole he's too rude and grumpy. I wonder how his friends cope with him.
"Mum had taken me later on to say hi to him when we were about leaving and you wouldn't believe the way he snubbed me. He completely lacks manners. Even his mum had prodded him to give me a handshake, but he ignored her. He's such a spoilt dumb-ass brat," I say angrily and Nicole starts laughing.
"Oh my God! Liana, you're so funny. You're acting like the whole thing happened this morning. I can't. You're talking about the world's famous Ethan in such a manner.
"Anyway, I've always heard how rude he was. I just never knew it was to this extent. But tell me how does he look? I mean, is he really as cute as he looks on TV and on stage?" she asks and I roll my eyes.
"Well when it comes to good looks he's the top. I don't think I've seen someone as cute as he is," I reply and she shrieks covering her mouth with her palm.
"Oh Liana! You're giving me goosebumps. I can't imagine it."
"Yeah he's handsome and all that but his looks are the exact opposite of his attitude. No wonder they say beauty lies in the heart."
The ABC girls don't show up in school that day and it kind of puzzles me. Well it's better that way.
We receive the morning classes and during lunch Nicole and I eat together in the café. After a few more hours school finally comes to a close.
"How's Jackson?" Nicole suddenly asks as we walk out together.
I sigh and tuck my hair behind my ear.
"He's fine," I say perfunctorily. I need to get ready for my date with him.
"Is everything okay with you guys? I mean you sound-"
"I'm fine Nicole. I know you're just trying to look for a blame to put on him," I cut her off and she chuckles.
"Well you're wrong, Liana. I'm just being concerned. I don't want my best friend to fall into the wrong hands," she says and I just roll my eyes.
"Hold on; isn't that your mum?" she asks, and I stop walking as I also catch a sight of her.
What? Mum? What the hell's she doing here?
She's standing by her black jeep looking around, and finally she sees me and starts walking toward me. What's going on? What's she doing here?
"Wow! I must admit Liana this mother of yours is really something else. She's so pretty and hot," Nicole says but none of it interests me as I just keep pondering mum's unheralded appearance at my school.
"Good evening, ma'am," Nicole greets with a little bow when she gets to where we are.
"Good evening," mum replies and turns to me.
"How're you Liana?" she asks with a smile, making me even more confused.
"Uh... I'm... I'm fine. Good evening," I stutter helplessly.
"Come on I came to pick you up," she says, holding my hand and starting to walk with me to the car.
I turn and look at Nicole and she just shrugs and waves at me.
"Hold on mum; did you just say you came to pick me up from school?" I ask as we both sit next to each other in the jeep.
She chuckles. I can't remember the last time she ever did something like that coming to pick me up from school. I mean... mum???
"I've got great news Liana great news! And I just couldn't wait for you to get home before spilling it out," she says excitedly and I just watch in mere bewilderment.
"Wh... What news?" I ask curiously and she laughs.
"Wait till we get home," she replies and speeds off.
So many thoughts keep dancing through my head as I think about mum's uncanny attitude. What news could she possibly have to tell me that'd make her come all the way to school to pick me up? I can't believe she even laughed. I mean I can't remember the last time mum laughed with me.
She's so excited during the drive, and it only increases my curiosity.
Finally we get home and I feel so relieved because I can't wait to hear the "great news."
We step down from the car and go into the sitting room together and I sit down and await her to speak up.
"Liana," she calls ecstatically as she sits in front of me.
"I'm listening mum."
She pauses and giggles.
"Do you remember a few days ago when I told you I was working on something important?" she asks and I try to think.
Of course.
"Y... Yeah I do," I reply and she continues.
"Well, guess what? It's finally been accomplished. And guess what it is," she enthuses and I scoff.
"What is it mum?" I ask not interested in guessing.
"Come on just guess," she says but I keep mute, and she laughs.
Oh, God! I can't believe mum's actually laughing.
"Okay fine I'll tell you. Besides I'm sure you won't be able to guess it right," she pauses and clears her throat a bit.
"This Saturday," she says.
"You'll be getting married to Ethan."
TBC.
