Chapter 3 HELPING AN ENEMY

THIRD PERSON POV : Jack took Clara to the health center, where she was treated. They inquired to know what happened and Jack answered " Leo happened " they didn't ask any further questions which suprised Clara, she wondered who Leo was and why he was feared by all including teachers and students. Her bone shifted that was why she was in so much pain. Luckily the medical practitioners there were able to fix it. She was in so much pain during the the process. She held Jack's hands through out the process and he didn't resist surprisingly, he just stood there looking at the Medical practitioners trying to re adjust her shifted bones. It took just few minutes and they where done.

CLARA'S POV : I was thankful to Jack for helping me, I don't know what I would have done without him, I just didn't want to imagine. " I will drive you home" " What no, no no, you have done a lot for me thank you. I will find my way home" I said with shock written all over my face, I could tell that he saw it. " Well I have to finish what I started right" He grabbed my hand and we were walking towards the parking lot. We arrived in front of a black car, it looked quite expensive, I didn't know the name but I could tell it was very expensive. I stood there admiring the car, looking at it with awe. I can't possibly enter this kind of car, no way, I stood there thinking if I should just tell him that I wasn't going to enter his car or if I should just run off. " Get in" he said hurriedly, i noticed he voice became hoarse. I wondered why his mood changed suddenly, like he saw something that pissed him off or we were been chased, I couldn't explain. Oh no it was my fault, maybe he got disgusted with the ways I was looking at the car, i felt a bit embarrassed. I just entered the car, he told me to put on my sit belt, which I did. He asked for my address but I can't possibly give him my address, instead I gave him the nearest bus-stop to my house. He looked at mean suspiciously but he just drove.

JACK POV : We had just finish biology class, I was heading towards the class with friends, we were talking about the new girl. I was wondering what Leo would do when he sees someone stitting on his sit, i knew it wasn't going to be good . The good side of me wanted to warn her about Leo, so that she wasn't going to leave his sit before he arrives, but the bad side of me was also curious to know what Leo was going to do. I guess the bad side won over the good side because I didn't tell her. I got to the class room, I saw Leo as usual with his earpiece and eyes closed, then I looked down and saw the new girl's bag on the floor her books torn, her food scattered on the floor. I felt pity for her, after all she has being through today then this, I had seen her hold back her tears from the beginning but she was going to cry now there was no doubt about it , maybe I should have just warned her at least. I went straight to my sit, waiting anxiously to see her reaction when she get in. I looked around and it seems like I wasn't the only one waiting others were also waiting too, but they were excited to watch the drama that was going to take place soon. The good part of me wanted me to go out and warn her about Leo and for her to just walk into the class pick up her stuff and come sit with me, but the bad side of me still won. I looked up and saw her standing at the door and just as I expected, the tears she has been holding back since finally let lose and she started crying. I heard her asking who did this but nobody told her instead they all looked at Leo, I was still thinking of what to do before she ends up doing something that might lead to her death. I have seen Leo kill people close to him, he wouldn't hesitate to kill her. I saw her moving toward Leo shouted at him and even touched him" Hell no" no one dares to touch him. By now everyone was looking shocked with their mouth opened, some now had the pity look on their faces while some were still excited and eagered to have fun with the scene that is about to take place. And in a blink of an eye, she slapped him. I was shocked, immediately I saw Leo standing up with anger. I have seen this look on his face before, I tried to recall and boom it came, the day he killed his dad after he killed his only sister and the only sibling he had. I said to myself " she was going to die now" I don't think Leo wouldn't hesitate to kill her. Then what i never expected from him happened, i raised his hand to slap her, at first i thought once he hit her it was going to lead straight to her death, but surprisingly to my greatest dismay, he stopped and just pushed her in a very hard way though. Did Leo just leave her, wait he didn't kill her, I was still in shock and lost in my thoughts . Then I saw her crying, this time the bad part of me musn't win. I saw struggling to stand up but she wasn't able to, I went ahead to help her, knowing fully well that I musn't be seen by Leo helping his just turned enemy.

I took her to the health center, where she attended to, her bone shifted, very painful indeed. After we left the health center I insisted on driving her home, she looked shocked and disagreed but I insisted. We walked to the parking lot, got to my car, I could see her looking and admiring like has never gotten close to this kind of car before, not to talk of entering it. I tried not to laugh. I was about to enter the car when I saw his car " Hell no" Leo was still in school, probably inside his car, I was scared and angry at the same time. Has he seen me helping her?, He was definitely going to get mad at me. Immediately I shouted at Clara to get in and I drove off. I asked for her address which she didn't and I wonderd why, instead she gave a bus-stop and told me to drop her there. I was lost in my thought thinking of what Leo might do to me, I didn't bother to insist, I was going to drop her off anywhere she wanted. I was very sure he had seen me help her. But then I was relaxed again, yeah he might be mad at me, but he wouldn't kill me. I was the only friend he ever had right from his childhood days. I was relieved for some time but I never underestimated Leo, he is capable of anything.

LEO'S POV : I started hearing footsteps of people and I knew biology class was over, we were free for now. Though I was on earpiece I could hear everything they were saying, I heard a girl saying just pack your those garbage and burn them because they are contagious, for a minute I was wondering why she was saying that and who she was talking to but why do I care?. Then I was beginning to hear someone's light sobs, it was definitely a girl. I wonder what happened but I still didn't do anything then I heard " Who did this", I wonder what these kids had done again, then it dawn on me that I was actually the one. I had even forgotten what I did. I heard a footstep fastly approaching toward me, who dares to walk towards me without my permission. Did the person just touch me, I hate it when people touch me. Did they suddenly forget the rules. Who just touched me? I opened my eye and turned to look at the person with anger, I could kill this person instance, i wanted to grab the person throat and and strangle whoever it was. I opened my eyes and I saw a young girl. I haven't see her before, she looked, sad, scared and angry, for a moment i remembered my sister she always had this look on her face when ever my dad was threatening her about the day he was going to kill her which he eventually did. I couldn't bring myself to do what I intended, instead I just looked at told her what I heard a girl said earlier " Pack those garbage, dispose them because they are contagious, do it while I still letting you to, the smell of you food irritate me", I was about to put on my ear piece when she slapped me. I could kill her right this instance for this, where did get the courage to walk up to me, touch me and slap me, all in one day. Nobody try that with me and go Scott free, the consequences was definitely going to be death. I had raise my hand to hit her in way that was going to send her to her early grave. Then I saw that look, the look on my sister's face when she was about to be killed by my dad. Why must she remind me of my sister? if I kill her there would no difference between me and that monster. Besides no girl has ever put me in this position before, all the girl were afraid of me, they don't even come close neither do they try to touch me. Who was this Clara girl, doesn't she know who I am, who doesn't. I couldn't bring myself to do what I intended to do. I just picked up my bag push her in a very hard way, she fell and was wincing in pain, I left the class. I didn't know where but I was walking, I didn't want to go home now, I was still walking until I found myself in my car. I entered it, put on the air conditioner and just stayed there thinking. Who Clara was, did I just spare her? I have been in my car for about 30 minutes, I decided to just go home. I got up to start the car, when I saw her again, this time she was with Jack, my only friend. How dare he help my enemy, I just sat there watching them. I saw her looking at the car with awe, I saw Jacked smirk then he looked up and saw my car immediately his calm, caring face changed to an angry, scared face. He knew I saw him.
