( Can I be your friend?)
Chapter 54
Jayson's pov;
I walked back to class moodily and sad. There was no one there when I got there. It was empty
I didn't even have the time to think of where they could be
My mind was so occupied with what Skyler had said
She's more cold than I had heard.
All through my conversation with her, she never smiled - not even for once or a little bit
Is that how she really is?
Damnit!!

I have been in class for a while now, and no one had entered.
Come to think of it; the whole school was quiet. it was unusual
What's going on?
Did anything happen?
I racked my head and tried to think of what could have happened
" Shit!" I shouted as I sprang up to my feet
Mentorship!!
Today was Mentorship
How could I have forgotten? How could I have been so carried away?
Not that I cared about it, but they would all be waiting for me by now
What should I tell them? I asked myself as I ran out of the classroom going to the parking lot
I got there and I was damn right.
" Where did you go, huh?" Myra asked instantly. She looked so worried and had her phone with her
" Were you calling?" I asked her. She scoffed and turned away
" My phone's in my bag and it's on flight mode" I told her
" You think I didn't find that out?" she snapped at me
" Where were you man? You got us all worried" Aaron. asked
" I know okay, I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional. I just lost track of time" I tried to explain to them
" You can tell that to her when you both get home. I'm out of here" Stacy said as her car drove in.
She walked to it and opened the car door then, it left
" I'm sorry guys" I apologized sincerely
" It's okay. We understand" Aaron said
" We were just scared. We thought the bad guys got you" he said and we both laughed over it
" But sincerely, you had us" Ben said
" Are you now conniving with her" I asked him pointing to Myra who was still very much angry
" It's not about conniving. You really should watch your back" Pecthra said sounding so serious
" Yeah. What if one of the boys had you. We wouldn't know where to find you?" Ben concurred
" I understand you all perfectly well, and I promise you it's not gonna happen again" I assured them
" You promise?" Pecthra asked
" I promise" I said
" Enough with the promise stuff. Let's go home" Aaron said. His car drove in as well and we went in

I went home and didn't bother going to the coffee shop - Grandma's instructions
Myra insisted that she wanted to go and so I allowed her and came home alone
Grandma wasn't in the sitting room as usual so I guessed she was in her room
I went to freshen up,then looked for something to eat, before taking my drugs
There was nothing to do in the house
Music wasn't helping me at this point because my mind was far from it
Skyler!! Did she go home??
Skyler's pov;
I got home feeling nuesated. I slumped on the couch in the parlour
I was so stressed out. This week has been really stressful for me
Dad wanted me to release an album before the term ends; and so, I have been spending most of my time in the studio
The worst part of the thing was that I wasn't having any inspiration coming. I could really use a lot of it at the moment
I couldn't ask my sky friends because I was the adorned and almighty Skyler
They would start seeing me different
No; I just can't. I need to think of something soon - for a way out
This whole thing was freaking me out and driving me crazy
I better do some about it. The term was running so fast
My Dad was being so unfair to me. All he does is show me off to his friends
I was still thinking when a maid rushed to where I was
" Good day ma'am" she bowed and greeted
I didn't respond and so she went on
" Your mum called. She told me to inform you to call her as soon as you get back from school" the maid said
" What for" I turned to her and asked
" She didn't mention it to me," the maid replied. I didn't say anything after that. She figured out I was done talking to her, so she bowed again and left
God!!! Why does mom want me to call her?
She knows how much I hate doing that. I reluctantly brought out my phone from my bag to call her
I dialled her number and she didn't pick up
" Why ask me to call you when you know you aren't gonna pick up" I said under my breath, really irritated
I dialled rhe number again and she still didn't pick up
I wanted to stop calling, but then she would nag at me all day when she gets back, not minding it was her fault; and also, I don't know why she asked me to call her; so, I called again
It had almost rang to the end before she picked up
" Skyler" her bleary voice came up
" Mum" I called
" You asked me to call you" I said hoping she would just say what it is and get off my phone
" I want you to meet your dad and I at Marx Eatery" she said
"What for?" I asked her rolling my eyes
" Don't ask me questions, and make sure to be there before 6" she said and hung up
Perfect!!
How ridiculous!!
How do I go to a place I don't even know the reason I'm going there?
I checked the time and it was almost 5pm. I think I better start dressing up
I wouldn't want to keep my nagging and perfectionist mom waiting
I picked up my hand bag and climbed the steps, going to my room
*

I stared st my reflection in the mirror. I was beautiful
I look so stunning
" Get me that" I said to no maid in particular as I pointed my finger to a box of jewelries. One of the maids in the room ran to get it
I didn't know why they always had to cluster round me each time?
If I had known being a superstar was this hard, I wouldn't have signed up for it.
I took out a set of golden earrings and put them on
Cool!! Just what I needed
" How do I look?" I asked them, while twirling round for them to see
I was dressed in a black sleeveless gown with gold jewelries all over
I literally dripped and sparkle in them
Everything I had on apart from the dress were all gold. The shoes, the earrings, neck chains, rings, shoe, and even the purse I was holding
" Tell Mars to get the car ready" I instructed again and another maid ran out to go deliver my message
I didn't have to point or assign anybody, I just give out the instruction and it's carried out; I just say the word and it's done
That's to tell you how powerful I am
I checked around to see if I was missing something.
Nothing! It was time to leave.
I walked out and the maids trailed behind
me
I met Mars on my way out
" The cars are ready ma'am" he said. I nodded and he led the way out.
I got to where the cars were. There were about six of them. Two at the front - filled with bodyguards and the third was the one I'll be in. The other three are also filled with guards
I'm sure gonna need them
Marx Eatery was one of biggest and most expensive Eatery in the city. Only the rich and wealthy goes there to eat , and it was located on a very popular spot, so people were usually around
I had been there a couple of times, and I know what it is like
I felt I won't be able to get in,because of my fans that thrilled all over me. It took huge efforts from the guards before they were able to disperse the crowd and get me in
So, ever since, I always made sure the guards were more than enough
The car door was opened for me to go in, I did and cars started driving out
Jayson's pov;
Gosh!! It's so frustrating staying at home. Grandma was asleep and I didn't have anyone to talk to
I decided to turn on the tv, if I would find anything interesting to watch
I did and the programmes that were showing weren't encouraging so I angrily switched it off again
Should I just go to the coffee shop and disobey Grandma. A part of me wanted me but I couldn't. she would be so infuriated when she finds out
So, it is a no
