Chapter 10

I could hear voices around me and it's kind of too noisy as I could hear people talking all at once. I wanted to shout and yell at them but I didn't have the strength to shout. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around.

" She's just unconscious. The doctor said it's just because of not eating anything properly. She'll be fine Meg after eating properly, so you don't have to come. You know her, you will just make her angry..... how's the party going??......... that's good to hear. I hope Becca won't be angry with you guys for not telling...... bye..."

The woman on the phone ended the call and I could feel someone clutching my left hand. I could hear some people talking too. Then I remembered and suddenly jolted up, which made me dizzy.

" Oi oi calm down. "

Someone tapped my forehead and I said, "ouch", cause it hurts. I turned to find Andrew staring at me and I suddenly became embarrassed. He just mumbled an apology, looking away.

Then everyone surrounded me and I just looked at my aunt and asked,

" What happened to me?? Why am I here......"

She gave me a small smile,

" You fainted. "

Oh! I remember that I didn't eat or rather I didn't have the time to grab something to eat. Trying to avoid the question of why I didn't eat, I asked,

" How's Papa's party?? Where's mom and bro?? "

Don't ask me why I hate my lil bro's name.

My aunt smiled at me and said,

" They are with him and they were worried about you. "

" I know. But I guess I shouldn't have been worried and at the same time surprised with mom. It's in her nature to plan crazy things afterall. "

" Remember Rebecca, even though he's still the president, he's still your father and Meg's husband, and my sister is loyal. "

" Yup, I know. "

" As you are awake, I'm going back. I've a meeting to attend. You can skip classes today as you fainted. Carter, Andrew and Chloe..... one of you stay here and other two, please return to the respective classes. And Rebecca, next time eat until you want to puke. "

Ok... puke??? Yikes..... before I could protest to her idea of eating until I puke, she went after looking at us for a second.

Before the others can decide who's staying, I said,

" You guys go ahead. I need sometime alone. "

" But Becca....."

" It's fine Chloe. I can always call right?? "

" Yeah, but........"

" Just go."

" I don't really know from whom you got your mind. " said Carter chuckling.
" Then call if you want anything. Let's go bro.. "

He put an arm around Andrew's shoulder and started walking towards the door followed by Chloe. But Carter and Andrew stopped suddenly. I could see Andrew telling something to Carter who glanced at me for a second and nodded and left with Chloe, leaving Andrew behind.

I have no idea why Andrew stayed behind but I got this strange feeling of...., I don't know.

He turned towards me and started walking back to me. Without wasting my time I asked,

" Do you need to ask something??"

He looked at me and shook his head.
Which was so ADORABLE. I don't know why he should be so cute. I hate spending alone time with him as I become so conscious.

I kept staring at him thinking that he will say something, when he kept staring at me telling nothing, I gave up and asked,

" Don't lie to me. If you want to ask something go ahead and ask. "

He shrugged,

" Why did you start modeling?? "

Ok. Now we are going somewhere even though it's a topic I don't want to talk about. Looking at him, I just feel like I can open up to him.

If looks can make you open up to people, then I'm gonna do it right now.

" Well...... I never liked modeling... ahhh... it's kind of a long story. "

" Never mind. I'm free now as I always cut classes. Tell me. I want to know. "

" Hmm... ok I guess. I'll try to summerize the story as possible..... Ever since I was little I wanted to become a traveler as I liked traveling and taking notes. But one day when a camera crew came to our school to get photos to put into our school magazine, they told us to stand.... well... you know? "

" Yeah, I guess I know what you meant."

" Good. So we stood normally and on the next day Alfred came to the school and asked for me. At that time I didn't even know who he is. He asked me if I want to model for the K-POP magazine, which I refused straight away. "

" Why?? "

" I told you, idiot. I never liked posing in front of a camera. "

" Oh yeah. Go ahead "

" He kept coming after me for months and months and one day he came to my house. That's when he found out who's daughter I am. "

" Wait..... does that mean no one in your country know you are their President's daughter?? "

" Hell no. My father wanted to hide it because he has enemies. He didn't want his family to end up getting hurt cause, he was a candidate for the President election , which he eventually won. Alfred found out because when he came, my father was at home. Even though he was in casual clothes without any bodyguards, people are able to recognize him wherever he go, except us. That's why my mom wanted to live separately. So yeah! Even after knowing, who's daughter I am, Alfred didn't give up. To make matters worse he showed my photos to dad and dad wanted me to do it. Not as a carrier but for fun."

" So you did it only because your father wanted you to do it?? "

" Yes, it was like that at first before I came to love modeling. Afterall my father never asked me anything. I couldn't let him down. So I started modeling and dad was happy. Sometimes he used to skip meetings and came to see the shooting. "

" Oh! Wow what a story. But why aren't you doing it now?? "

" One day when I was driving, I got into an accident face to face with my ex-friend's, Katherine's car. She's also a model. We were friends before I started modeling and now as far as I can remember after I started modeling we hated each other. I ignored her as much as I can. Since that day Kathy never liked me and her only wish was to surpass me, an idea, which her parents put into her head. But with me she knew she wouldn't get all the attention. "

" You mean she purposely hit your car?? "

" I know Katherine. She did modeling as her carrier while I did it for fun. She wanted fame more than anything. For her I was the biggest threat. Our families got into fights after that and the fights only stopped when I said it was just an accident."

" So you gave up??"

" Katherine's father was the other candidate who ran the presidential election. They had every reason to hate. My father kept blaming himself for months. I couldn't walk for months even. He's the one who wanted me to give up. But I didn't. I wanted to fight. I modeled secretly, because I wanted to see him smile and be proud of me. But when he saw my pictures he made me leave immediately and that was the end. "

" But you said you hate modeling now, right?? "

" Andrew, the thing is I didn't want to model after the accident, even if I knew it was the only way to fight with Katherine. But when my father kept blaming himself, I couldn't just sit and do nothing. I wanted to prove to him that I'm doing fine. Well, it didn't work. After that I don't model. If I try seriously, I'll always remember the accident. Now they are all in the past. "

" Oh! Well.. when you said it was a long story, you weren't kidding. "

" Tell me yours now. "

" What?? "

" How did you start modeling?? "

" My mom was a modeling agent and my father was a model. Mom introduced me to this path. And now with my father's help, I'm still walking on the same path. "

" Sorry for asking, but your mom isn't a modeling agent now?? "

" Um.. I don't know what she's doing now. "

" What?? You never asked your own mom?? "

" No Rebecca, my mom left me just when I started modeling. I don't even know where she's now nor I care about a person who left her family behind. "

Oh Andrew. I feel sorry for him. But I'm glad he's doing ok regardless not having a mother beside him to help him.

" Oh! I'm sorry. "

" It's ok. "

Then there's a dead awkward silence. I saw Andrew staring at me. I blushed and looked away regretting it immediately. I should have looked at those amazing ocean blue eyes. I don't know, what's this funny feeling I have nor why I'm acting like a spoiled kid in front of him.

Just then he coughed and I raised my face to know why he gave an utterly fake cough. When I looked up, he asked,

" Umm... do you want to go out?? "

" I'll be glad to get out from this room, but what'll happen if nurse come?? "

" Ha ha ha pretty much easy. All we gotta do it leave before she comes. That's all. "

Then before I could even tell anything, he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the bed.

His hand is big and it's quite warm.his hand is so soft even.  

Before he could open the door, I said,

" Wait, my slippers. "

He kept staring at me not seeming to realize that he's holding my hand. I pointed my eyes to our intervened hands. He blushed and let go of my hand immediately.

Ahhh..... why did I let go of his hand????!
