"So, what will happen if I reject you?" She asked."I will collect back the money from them of course." He said, and they laughed. He was really humourous."Ehen... And about the money; Why did she give you as much as ten thousand pounds? That is a huge amount." She said. It did not bother her to think about the possible sources of the president's income. As the president of the board, they knew that she must have several millions of pounds stalked away in her bank accounts. "She called me and asked how much I received from Mr Sullivan to sponsor the talk show.""Mr Sullivan?" Juliet asked, looking up a him."Yes, Mr Sullivan. The president told me that Mr Sullivan came to her office, requesting to withdraw as much as a hundred thousand pounds to fund this year's talk show. I told her that I funded the show from my own pocket. She was shocked, and gave me ten thousand pounds." He explained."I see." Juliet said, her clever eyes narrowing. "So, she actually allowed Mr Sullivan to go
AUTHOR'S NOTE The Last Days At Reekfield's is a highschool romance/action/adventure series. It has six books in it. My aim of writing this series is to enable my readers experience their highschool days from a different angle; be it bad, average, good or what have you, and as you read, remember to indicate your predictions for the second book in the series in the comments/ratings section. The Last Days At Reekfield's is a series that is completely incomparable, given the perfect blend of love with studies, mysteries - which must be unfolded - and adventures.Chapter OneIt was a chilly winter morning. Juliet grumbled as her best friend shook her violently."Hey, get up! We are going to be late for school if you spend another minute in that bed." Jane's voice came to her.That instant, Juliet sprung out of her bed and stared at her friend lazily."Hey! What the hell were you saying just now?" She asked. It took her a few moments to remember that she was back from the holidays, and as
"Oh.. Very true." Jane said. Just then, their alarm clock started ringing. It was seven thirty! The two stared at each other. The senior boarding house mistress would come to the dormitory in no time. Juliet quickly packed her hair into a ponytail and wore her shower cap. Soon, water started gushing out of the shower which hung just above her. She hurriedly washed up and soon, she was done. When she threw a glance at the direction of the bath, her best friend was no longer there."Oh!" She exclaimed, hurriedly mopping her body with her towel. She had to escape the senior boarding mistress at all costs. "Hey, let's get going." Jane said as Juliet walked into their room."You witch! I will deal with you. You dare not leave that door without me." Her friend swore.Jane laughed heartily. You were dreaming of who? Phillip? Jack? Jake? Jimmy? Which of them?" She asked, laughing."Look at you! I am still single. Because I was pictured with each of them doesn't mean that I am dating one of
Janet fought hard not to laugh. Her best friend never failed; it was certain. Old Mrs Lara stared at the two carefully. They could not be acting. They were both of reputable behaviour and all excellent students. She smiled kindly and dipped her hand into her handbag. Soon, she produced a card of drug with black coloured tablets."Take it, my dear. I am very sorry. I bought it for my grandchild, but it's not her period yet. You can as well, have it." She said, reaching out for Juliet's palm."Oh no, old Mrs Lara. It is fine. I took some drugs. My friend is very thoughtful. Right now, I am craving for a bite." Juliet said in a pained voice."Argh, daughter. It is alright. Have it, just incase of next time. And if you don't meet breakfast, come back and meet me. I will personally send you with a note to the kitchen department." Old Mrs Lara said, forcing the card of drug into Juliet's clenched fist."Thank you so much, old Mrs Lara." Juliet said, her hand still on her stomach."Go now,
"Oh, he has greatly recovered. He pledged to come for my visit mid winter." Juliet supplied."Wow... I can't wait to see him! I will be most excited." Jane said.While Juliet was always in the UK and rarely flew out, Jane was the near composite. She was based in the UK, but she always preferred to fly out during the holidays in between the school terms. She was a bit wild. Their parents both, were all super rich, and it is an entirely different story, if you are wondering how they first encountered and how their friendship kicked off.Presently, it was their turn. The two friends greeted the cooks politely and bowed low as they were taught to do on receiving their food, after which they proceeded to one of the free tables with two chairs that faced each other."What a waste! I can say that the authorities spend several thousands of pounds each day for our daily meals." Jane said, staring at the huge freshly baked bread and heap of fried eggs on her plate. Juliet shrugged, pouring a c
"Hey, you heard my bestie's question. What do you want? We don't need you here." Juliet said quickly."Fine... I want you... Let's be honest here. I want you." Jimmy said."You want me?" Juliet said and laughed, dabbing at her eyes."Yes. You got my words right. I want you." He said firmly."You want me? How does that even sound to your own ears?" She asked."Honest, sincere and down to earth." He replied."Hey, Jimmy, Jinny or whatever you are called, are you a cop? How can you just show up and demand my friend? What a weird thing. What kind of joke is this?" Jane asked.Juliet, however, did not dim it as a joke. She could tell that he was serious."Hey, you want me, Jimmy?" She asked."Yes. I want you. But don't get my words twisted. I am in love with you. I have waited for you for over four years. I started noticing you the very first day you walked through Reekfield's gate. I was watching you under that cashew tree." Jimmy replied.Juliet stared around. "Hey... see, we need to be
"Good morning beautiful students of Reekfield college." She spoke into the microphone.The thunderous reply form the students filled the hall. The freshers' voice stood out."You are all welcomed from the short holiday, and I am both elated and sorry to inform you of the sudden changes made at the board, resulting to me, emerging as the new President of the college. My predecessor, Mr Johnson Duke was needless to say, a hard-working man. I will follow his steps and leave the same legacy for my successor. Whatever good thing it is, that Mr Duke had done for the college in the past, be expecting it back in two folds. I don't joke with my words. I will deliver. And this is specifically for the last year students; I want Reekfield to claim all the top spots in this year's national colleges academic awards. For each price won, I am going to give out a cash prize of ten thousand pounds from my own personal funds. I want to hand out as much as half a million pounds. Let me see if you student
"You!" Juliet cursed on opening her eyes."Juliet. You need to be careful while walking, next time." "I will deal with you, Jimmy. How dare you?" She asked.Jimmy, instead, forcefully took her schoolbag and walked ahead of her.Juliet bit her lower lip and followed him. If he was dwelling in what her friend had told him, he better give up, for she had moved on. Long ago, when she was madly crushing on him, he failed to notice. Why was he bothering her now that her feelings for him had dwindled?Soon, they were on the second floor of the art complex. Juliet followed Jimmy into the seventh room by the right - which was her classroom. Jimmy placed her bag on her desk and drew back her chair for her. He then sat in a chair which was unoccupied."You can leave." Juliet said with clenched fists. She was still standing."But what wrong have I done to you, Juliet? You asked me what I wanted, and I said without mincing my words, that it is you. Why not give me what I want?" He asked with unb
