NEXT MORNING>
“Ahhhhhh!!!!! No!!!!! Please!!!!!” Vanessa screamed out from her sleep,panting heavily as she finally opened her eyes. Her body was covered up with sweats.
She immediately hugged a pillow to herself,her lips were trembling and her whole body was shaking. She’s been having the nightmares since she was a kid and strangely they only got worse as she grew up
Vanessa sat down there for few minutes before realizing that it’s actually morning already. She let go of the pillow and checked the time,it’s almost 10am and the seminar starts by 10.
“Oh no” she rushed out of bed and was about rushing into the bathroom when she saw a note on her table,she took it immediately. It’s from Gigi,she actually left without waking Vanessa up because she was in a deep sleep
“Can’t believe she went to school already” Vanessa squeezed the note and ran into the bathroom.
••••
Valentino kept staring at the hall entrance waiting for when Vanessa would come in,the class would start in just two minutes and it’s rare for her to miss classes. His worries even grew more since Gigi is in class already
‘Is she okay??’ He thought inwardly
“Gosh,I’m tired of waiting. We shouldn’t have come so early” Virgil complained
“It’s Valentino’s fault” Terence scoffed
“You should have just stayed back” Valentino said and Reed pushed his head
“You insisted that we come together,ungrateful idiot. Just tell us that you’re coming to meet Vanessa” Reed said
“Whoaaa” Terence and Virgil grinned
Valentino scoffed but just then,Vanessa walked in and his eyes followed her till she sat down just beside Angelique
Almost immediately,Prof Anna walked into the hall
“Morning students” she said excitedly
“As you all know,we have a very important guest today,and I am so happy to welcome…The brilliant female general attorney,Mrs Noel” She said and the students began clapping
Attorney Noel walked in and some students who recognized her screamed out
“Oh my gosh,Vanessa it’s my role model!!” Angelique screamed and Vanessa smiled
“I also know her,she’s really amazing” Vanessa said
?Hello everyone
Attorney Noel waved with pretty smiles on her face.
Prof Anna moved aside
? It’s my pleasure meeting you all,as I was introduced…..I’m an Attorney General,and I’m sure you know what that means. I was once a successful Barrister but now more than that
The students clapped
? I actually have a son here
? Whoa!!
? Maybe you know who he is,Giovanni Noel
The students all gasped
? Oh my gosh!
? Senior Giovan??!!
? I can’t believe this
“Wow,no wonder he’s so Füçking smart” Erica muttered
“I know right? Now I’m jealous” Quinn said
? Without wasting time,let’s proceed. So the main reason why I’m here is to enlighten you more on criminal cases and I would also like to know how experienced you are so far, I have a clip here to show you.
Prof Anna turned on the smart projector and the video clip started playing.
? Please watch carefully.
The whole hall was silent after that as everyone focused on the video playing.
A whole family of seven were murdered on the same day by the eldest son.
Attorney Noel stopped the video
? So what do you think about this video? If you’re gonna be a Prosecutor on a case like this,what next?
Becky raised her hand
? Okay?
“Well,I don’t think there’s much to say. The evidence is right before us that the eldest son is nothing but a murderer,defending him might be useless” She rolled her eyes and sat down
Attorney Noel chuckled
? She’s right,defending such case with a clear evidence might or is actually useless. But as you all know,things don’t work like that here. Next…..As a defendant..how do you think you’re gonna take care of a case like this?
Few students raised their hands but Vanessa didn’t move
? You there
Attorney Noel pointed at Vanessa and she stood up
? Tell us if you’re chosen as the defendant,how will you take care of it??
“Uhm…..With the looks of things,defending might not really change anything coz everything in this video is clear,he might still end up going to jail or getting killed. But as a defendant…it’s my responsibility to take care of it. Like,why did he do that? Why would he kill his family? I don’t think there’s any action without a reason,is he mentally stable?? We might need to find out……..
Attorney Noel suddenly started clapping and Vanessa kept quiet
? Wow,just wow. Do you all know why I’m clapping?!
“No!!”
? It’s because….the video we just watched,the murderer we all watched is actually a mad man
Everyone gasped
? Or should I just use the word mentally unstable?? Right,back then,when this happened. I was a the prosecutor and I really didn’t care finding out what the hell was going on,all I cared about was the evidence….well….I ended up losing the case
The students all laughed,including Attorney Noel. Except Becky who was fuming with anger.
••••
The students all walked out of the class one after the other,the class ended up taking more hours than they thought
“Hey pumpkin,I said I’m sorry. I just didn’t want to disturb your sleep” Gigi groaned
“Seriously? You know I don’t joke with things like this,I missed all my classes yesterday and expect me to repeat the same,oh please” Vanessa scoffed
“I’m sorry!!” Gigi hugged her
“Don’t hug me,I might pass out” Vanessa said
“So am I forgiven?” Gigi asked
“Cook for me” Vanessa bashed her lashes cutely
“Cook? Like something like cereal?” Gigi asked and Vanessa frowned
“What do you mean by cereal?”
“Come on,you know we are not even allowed to cook” Gigi said
“Then I will follow you to your parents house and you will do the cooking” Vanessa grinned
“Let’s break up” Gigi muttered and walked out of the hall
Vanessa laughed and also followed her
Outside she saw Attorney Noel with Paige holding her,they were both having a conversation and seems they know each other really well,soon Giovanni also showed up with them. Vanessa kept on staring at them,Giovanni suddenly looked up and their eyes met but immediately Vanessa turned and walked away.
Valentino who was staring at them quickly followed Vanessa.
“Nessa!” He called and caught up with her,he stopped in front of her
Vanessa looked up
“What is it?” She asked
“Last night” Valentino muttered and her eyes widened
‘Don’t tell me he remembered how our lips met!! Don’t tell me!!’ She screamed in her head.
“Thank you” Valentina said and she exhaled
“So,I was wondering if…..you wanna have lunch with me” He asked but Vanessa only stood there without saying a word
She was about saying something when Becky came over and kissed Valentino right in front of her,he immediately broke the kiss but Vanessa already walked away
“I missed you” Becky said and touched his chest
“Stop” Valentino said,staring at Vanessa’s back
Becky grabbed his face and kissed him again
Valentino pushed her off forcefully
“What the Füçk are you doing?!” He yelled
“I’m doing what we’ve always done!! Don’t Füçking yell at me!! I miss you so badly and I want you right now that’s it!” Becky yelled back
Valentino glared at her and walked away
“Ahhhhh!!” Becky screamed
••••
Gigi turned off the water when she finished washing her face
“Gosh,I feel so alive!” She exhaled and walked out
“Boom!” Someone appeared in front of her and she almost screamed until she saw Terence
“Hey!!” She yelled and Terence smiled
“What the Füçk are you doing in ladies restroom? They might think you’re a pervert” Gigi said and Terence looked up
He waved at some of the girls and they almost fainted
“I think it’s the opposite” He grinned at Gigi
“Then you must be proud,have you been following me?” Gigi asked as they walked out
“You’ve been avoiding me” Terence said
“No” Gigi muttered
“Do you think we slept on the bed together?” Terence asked and Gigi frowned
“Trust me,I slept in Reed’s room. Not by your side,so unfortunate I still got punished for it” Terence muttered
“Does it still hurt?” Gigi asked
“Do you wanna check?” Terence smirked
“I h@të you!” Gigi hit his chest and he laughed
“Just joking,so just buy me lunch and we are even” He said
“Fine,follow me” Gigi said and he smiled
•••••
<5PM>
Vanessa was on her way to the study lounge,she was passing through the corridor which lead to the lounge,a Lollipop candy in her mouth while she hum to a song. She was still walking when suddenly someone pulled her into an empty class. She looked up and it was Giovanni.
“Vee” He called and Vanessa removed the candy from her mouth
“Vanni” She called
“I’ve been calling you but you ignored my calls” He said and Vanessa looked down
“You didn’t tell me you have a girlfriend” She muttered
“Girlfriend?” Giovanni asked
“Earlier….Paige…..”
“She’s my ex girlfriend” Giovanni cut in
“But….she’s quite close with your mom” Vanessa said
“That’s because,she doesn’t know about our break up. She thinks we are still dating” Giovanni said and Vanessa nodded
“Was that why you didn’t answer my calls?” He asked
“Why should I answer someone else boyfriend’s Call?” She scoffed and Giovanni chuckled
He pushed her hair behind her ears
“You look so cute” he muttered and they both maintained gazes,Giovanni’s eyes fell on her lips
Meanwhile,Valentino was on his way to the lounge when he suddenly saw them,Giovanni was about kissing Vanessa,his eyes widened and he entered the class without thinking twice.
Vanessa turned and Giovanni also looked up with a frown to see the jerk who just spoiled his chance,his gaze hardened when he saw Valentino.
“Hey Nessa,I’ve been looking for you. We don’t have enough time remember?” He said and grabbed her hand
Giovanni immediately disconnected their hands and pushed Valentino off
“I h@të it when you touch her!” he yelled
Valentino also pushed him even more harder
“I h@të it when you touch her too!!” He yelled back
Vanessa only watched in confusion as they both glared at each other
