The Stonner's Chick

6

Zara POV

I looked around with a smile on my face, Adam is working and Zoya is busy taking the orders. Her shift ends at nine and I don't have much to do. Sipping my strawberry milkshake I gazed at the kid who is pulling his little sister's hair.

I'm sitting at my private table which is only reserved by me. I chuckled when Adam sent me a wink before taking the used vessels to the kitchen. Not wanting to waste, my time I decided to do my normal class assignment.

I took out my commerce textbook along with a new white notebook which I kept for commerce.

We do have accounts so, we need to keep two books for theory and problems. I started underlining the important lines and wrote them down in my notes.

Our school is an autonomous private school with its own syllabus. We kind of have a British type of schooling. After the finish of our tenth standard, a student can choose if he wants to go for science or maths or commerce stream.

If you take commerce, then you don't have to worry about physics or biology or maths. We won't be having those subjects. Instead, we will be having civics, economics, business management and commerce along with two languages. One is English and the other is your choice. You can go to French or Spanish.

I ate my cookie doing the homework, I enjoyed writing down the notes. The only subject which I don’t like that much is economics. I choose my second language French because I was fascinated by the language. By the time I finished my assignment it was 9:15.

"John is here, Zoya will be walking out of the staff room in five minutes," Adam spoke taking the seat beside me.

"Aren't you leaving? Why are you working two shifts a day?"

"Nah, taking my girl to a trip next month and need to save money so extra shifts."

"Awe, you always take your girl to trips. She is really lucky Adam." He chuckles shaking his head.

"I'm lucky to have her and taking her to trips makes me feel like I'm her husband." I laugh and he joins me.

"Ready to leave babe?" Zoya asked walking over to the table.

"Your girly like boyfriend is here," Adam joked and Zoya rolled her eyes beating him on the head.

"Shut up."

I gave a quick hug to Adam before leaving the cafe with Zoya. "Does Adam really got a girlfriend? I think he is crushing on you."

I laugh hearing that as I get into the car and she goes over to the driving seat. "Adam is in a relationship for the past three years now. She was his junior in high school, her name is Mannat. I met her many times in this cafe. You haven't met her yet because she is in another town for her college."

"Oh really. I thought he was faking about his girlfriend."

"Nope, Adam is a jovial guy, he likes to friendly flirt if he is really really close to you. And I see Adam as my brother figure."

"But you have to see him with Mannat. You will be thinking he is constantly hitting on her. Even though they are in the relationship he always makes flirty comments on her like he is meeting her for the first time. He is so in love with her. I really wish to have a boyfriend like Adam," I say remembering the times.

"See you tomorrow," Zoya said when we reached my home.

"Drive safe and text me when you reach."

"Yup." I quickly run towards the door feeling so cold. I didn't wear my coat as I forgot my coat at home.  I went inside and saw that ma and pa are arranging the dinner on the dining table.

"Hello..." I say removing my bag and placing it on the cabinet floor.

"Wash up, I made your favourite chicken lasagna," ma said.  

"Yeah, ma!" I said removing my shoes and going to the powder room to wash my hands and feet. I can hear zoe shouting and pa scolding her for shouting, I chuckle. I went to the dining room and saw ma and pa sitting down in their seats.

I took my seat and started eating when Zoe came rushing to me with her little tail wiggling happily. I spoke about my day at school and the cafe. Pa talked about his walk to the park with his colony friends.

When I'm done with my dinner I took my plate to the sink, washed it and placed it in the rack.

I took Zoe in my arms, said my goodnight’s and hugs to ma and pa before going to bed. Zoe slept on her small bed beside mine and I went into my dreamland.

Lorenzo POV

"So did you guys decided on the girl or not?" Travis asked. We are having a movie night at my home, both my parents are out of the station to meet my parental grandparents. I decided to skip not wanting to meet the lousy uncles and aunts.

I looked at the other boys then said ″ Miya".

"What?" Travis said. Looking shocked. I laughed because I know how much they hate each other. Miya and Travis never get along, they were biology partners when we were in the middle class. 

“No bro not happening," Travis replied shaking his head.

''Why not?" Ace asked.

''Guys, you know how much we hate each other and trust me, she may fall for others but never for me."

''That's the reason we chose her instead of others," I answered. To which all the boys laughed and Travis frowned.

''So, the game begins tomorrow morning at the school. We don’t know how you will make her fall in love with you and take her." 

"Who is betting how much and how many days?" I asked.

“100 dollars he will in 30 days,” Ace said.

''Yeah, same me too 100 dollars 30 days." - Yusuf and Israel said.

''Hmm, 200 dollars he can’t make her sleep with him,” Devin said.

“250 dollars he will sleep with her.” jones and Marcus said.

“400 dollars he won’t,” Zander said. I just listened to their betting amount.

''Bro? how much you are betting?" Travis asked me, all the boys are looking at me.

I smirked, “1000 dollars he will sleep with her."

“Dude that’s a huge amount on him and bro Travis can’t!" Zander said, to which all the boys except Travis nodded. I just laughed taking a bar of rum chocolate in my mouth, turning my head to the tv where Thor is playing.

I know that Travis had a crush on her when she was his partner, then because of the constant fights between them, he thought she doesn’t like him.

But I know Miya likes him too, but she doesn’t show it because Travis is a playboy and she is smart enough to not love him and have a broken heart.

I know this because of the way she looks at Travis when he is not looking at her, the way her eyes saddened when he is making out with some other girl in hallways.

I know Miya through Veronica, Miya is veronica’s best friend but Miya is different from Veronica. She is kind of a nerd. I looked to my right side where boys sat.

No one is watching the movie as they are watching their favourite p**n star’s new p**n video. I threw my pillow where they all sat, looking at the laptop. 

"f**k off!"

"Delete the history later," I say standing up switching off the television.

"You going?" Devin asked who was sitting a bit away playing COD.

"Yup, kinda sleepy. What about you?"

"Later, I'm playing this."

"Yup."

"Don't sleep here with half-naked. You guys gave the damn maid a heart attack and she complained about it to my mum. Sleep in the guest rooms," I point my finger at the boys while telling.

I took the chocolate box to my room to do my f*****g homework. I don’t want to have another class of scoldings by my dad regarding my studies. Locking the door and removing the t-shirt, I opened my MacBook and searched for the business and its types. I took out my notebook and wrote them down.

I took another piece of chocolate by which I was in the half-drunken stage, they are so yummy I thought.

I remembered the girl from the cafe. She is the same girl from my class.

She caught my eye when I entered the class. Everyone was looking at me, but this girl was so busy drawing mickey mouse. Throughout the morning class, I looked at her. I never saw her in school before or any parties may be a new girl I thought.

She is a bookworm I can say that, the way she listened to the classes and when I went to the cafe to buy something for boys and me.

I saw her sitting in the private area eating a cookie writing her notes. She didn’t care at all when the cafe became all silent when I entered. Most of the people who go to the cafe are high school students who mostly know who I AM.

She caught my eye for the second time because I never saw someone sitting there. I just thought maybe she is a cook here, that’s why she is allowed to sit there. When I'm done with my work. I fell flat on my back on the rug thinking about this year.

No matter what this year I need to pull up my grades because it's always a dream and priority for me to have our family company. Unknowingly I slept on the floor the whole night.

Zara POV

The school became somewhat fun with Zoya being my side. Except for the evil glares by Veronica and her girls, everything is good at school.

I actually love Zoya's company, she is always fun to be with, she is really a gem. She talks about her relation incidents and funny things. She waits for me at the lockers or in front of my classroom so that we can go to our spot to have our lunch. She made me feel all the things that I wanted to feel in school. Exams are coming then holidays. Before quarterly exams, we have some tests like pre quarterly which is also important.

So, here we are sitting in my room with all the notes in front of us. The thing is Zoya don’t know most of the portion of accounts. I decided to tutor her today as we have pre quarterly in 2 days.

By quarterly results, the management will decide which students need a special care on their grades and who needs a tutor.

″Zoo! Are you listening to what I'm saying?!" I asked her. I asked her a question. When I didn’t hear her voice, I turned to see her sleeping hugging my doremon soft toy.

"Uff!" I chuckled, I pulled her from the reading chair and with so much difficulty I slowly pushed her on my bed. She murmured something about chicken nuggets turning on her stomach.
