章 37: What Could Be His True Motive?
Fountain High School.
Samantha was leaning against the wall by the boys' washroom when Noah walked out. He saw her, but ignored her and continued to go until she stopped him with her words.
''I can make Inayah yours!'' Samantha smiled when Noah stopped in his strides and turned to look at her. ''You heard me. I don't know why you seem so interested in her, but I could make her yours!''
''And what makes you think I need your help in getting her?
''Well, even with your money; you still can't have her. She is quite the tenacious type. She won't bulge easily even with money and especially now that your uncle is also in the picture. Any woman would pick him over you.'' Samantha was quite confident with her words.
Noah chuckled and looked at her with a cold gaze. How she managed to get his Achilles heel, he was impressed. ''I don't need any help from a greedy bitch like you!'' He said to her.
''Oh, really?'' Samantha asked and laughed, ''sorry, my bad. Well, the offer is still available in case you decide to change your mind.''
Noah's phone buzzed and he took it out. Without saying anything to Samantha, he walked up the stairs to answer it.
''What did you find?'' He asked the person on the other side.
''Well, it seems Miss Ibrahim has a special relationship with your uncle. She spent the night at his place on the day you called her and also, I found out something concerning your uncle's inability to touch women.''
''Yes, what about it?
''It seems the young master can touch Miss Ibrahim without getting any allergic reaction.''
''What?'' Noah acted surprised at first but slowly his lips turned into a mischievous smirk and he remarked. ''Really? So, I guessed right. She really means something to my uncle? Alright, continue to observe her every move. Don't make a mistake like the last time again. If she notices anything strange; she might react. She is quite smart for her own good.''
''Yes, sir!''
''Bye!'' Noah hung up. he turned and muttered, ''Inayah Ibrahim, I finally found your weakness, dear uncle!''
...
Noah entered the classroom with a box of chocolate. He walked to Inayah's desk as the girls looked at him.
''I heard chocolates are good for apologies. Inayah, I hope you forgive me for pressuring you. I am sorry!'' Noah bowed and apologised.
His gesture made Inayah frown.
''Wow!!'' The class exclaimed.
''Inayah, I want us to go back to how we were. I promise I won't over step my boundaries this time around.''
''Okay. You don't have to do this.'' Inayah said, feeling rather uncomfortable.
''Inayah, please say you've forgiven me. I promise to not act rashly again, if that will make you feel comfortable around me again.''
Seating from the side, Samantha snickered. She had overheard bits of Noah's conversation on the phone earlier on and had picked up a few things.
If she was sure of one thing, it was that, Noah wasn't with Inayah for the best reasons.
But, she was curious as to why he was going through all the trouble to make her fall for him.
''Accept the chocolate already!'' Bertha nudged Inayah from the side.
''Noah, thank you and also, I'm sorry for been hard on you.'' Inayah accepted the chocolates.
''What a perfect reunion!'' Samantha said and shifted her gaze towards Gideon, ''It's a pity, Gideon is not a part of it. Don't you think you should forgive him too? After all, he is the one who loved you first!''
Bertha turned to look at Samantha and commented sarcastically. ''And here I was wondering why the class was so peaceful. Turns out, you were waiting for the right opportunity to barge in.''
''Oh, Bertha. I see you a lot now that you two have made up?''
''You…''
Clara held Bertha's hand saying, ''don't pay attention to her, Berth. She is a mood spoiler.''
''Exactly. Don't be bothered by me.'' Samantha said and chuckled.
''Inayah, let's take a photo together. Since we made up.'' Noah said, taking out his phone.
''Huh, I don't like taking pictures…'' Inayah didn't finish when Noah held her closer, placing his arm around her shoulder before taking a picture.
''I'm posting it on my moments.'' He said.
''Don't!'' Inayah stopped him.
''Why? You dare to do it but dare not to be caught?'' Samantha walked closer to them.
''What is it with you?'' Clara clapped back.
''Don't mind me, I was just speaking my mind.'' Samantha smirked.
''Yes, why don't you continue to speak your mind? It won't be long till everyone sees your true colours.'' Clara said, glaring at Samantha.
''Ayah, why don't you want me to post it?'' Noah asked innocently.
''I have my reasons I can't talk about. I'm sorry.''
''No, is alright!''
The bell rang and Clara stood up, ''Berth, the milk. We didn't collect the milk from the chef today.''
''Right. I will go and get it. You guys can wait for me at the usual hangout.'' Bertha said as she hurried out.
After collecting the milk, Bertha walked out of the canteen, humming a song by Leona Lewis.
As she turned towards the hallway, an external force pulled her forward before pushing her against the wall.
She screamed and looked up to find Gideon who didn't look that pleased with her.
''You…''
Gideon's lips curved mockingly as he asked her. ''You. What is your deal with me? Why do you hate me? Why do you look at me with those eyes?''
''What?'' Bertha looked at him confused. They always hated each other.
Even she didn't know when it started, but the two of them never wanted to be in the same space with each other.
They would always end up fighting. When he finally hurt Inayah, Bertha hated him even more.
Bertha pushed him aside and remarked sarcastically. "Do I need a reason to hate you?"
''Trust me, you don't want to cross me. You would relocate the moment I start to mess with you.'' Gideon stated and pinned Bertha against the wall again.
Inayah whom was walking towards the canteen after waiting for Bertha saw them. She immediately hid while watching.
''Let go of me. You're hurting me!'' Bertha realized that he was quite stronger than she took.
''And if I don't?'' Gideon looked at her mockingly.
''And if you don't? I will just report you as a pervert to the school authorities.''
''You? Report me, as a pervert? Look at yourself. What would I do with someone like you?'' Gideon continued to mock her.
''Rude jerk!''
Gideon tightened his grip on her shirt as he warned her. ''I'm warning you; don't look at me with those eyes. Unless you want them gouged out.''
