Jim blushed seriously."You flatter me alot, my dear. My name is not so special or sweet, like yours. I mean, just imagine the stress we out on you name. Ju-li.... That's my favourite part. The 'Li' in Juliet." Jim siad, and Juliet laughed. Jim threw a glance at Steve. The latter was busy chatting with his girlfriend. He felt like punching his nose. The idiot would not see now, how well he was progressing."So, do you have a partner for today's show?" He asked, trying hard not to make his voice sound flirtatious."Ahh, I see. You don't know where to sit, isn't it? Jimmy is the one hosting the show, so you can as well, take the place of the brightest chap in the sciences department for the sixth form category.'' Juliet said.Jim hesitated for a while. That Jimmy! She always brought him up no matter what."That Jimmy," He said, "Is simply a demon. Just last term, I don't know how he managed to over throw me. I gave him a distance of nearly half a dozen points the other term." 'it was
Steve gave his friend a thumps up. But unknown to Juliet, or perhaps, it was what she anticipated, the duo of Jane and Jimmy had stopped running, and heard every inch of what she said - for she spoke almost too loudly, as if for their benefit.Juliet was startled when she heard her Jimmy's voice behind her - for setting all the circumstances aside, the latter was not aware that Jimmy was just behind her - but managed to maintain her composure. He wanted to know what she had just told Jim."Summarily, I said that I am happy he has spoken up about his feelings for me, and that i will give him a reply soon." She replied him.Jimmy scooped her off her feet and took her into the hall. Immediately they stepped on the stage, a loud cry rouse from the students and the coloured lights came on quickly, the disc jockey's soft music playing in the background. Jimmy held her hands and winked at her to do the gentleman dance with him."But I cannot dance it." She said, moving her body in unison to
"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
