More Than A Maid

Bella’s POV

“Hi darling” Monica came over, sat in front of me and smiled at me wickedly.

What does she want this time around?

“Hi” I rolled my eyes and ate my snacks slowly; trying to avoid her and acting like I do not care about whatever she wanted to say to me.

“Oh wow! You have the nerves now! Did you just roll your eyes at me?”

I didn’t say anything.

“Okay, I can see you have been avoiding Peter; just like I have told you but uhm, it’s not enough for me to decide whether to reveal your identity to everyone or not” She continued to smile wickedly.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Who does she really thinks she is? Does she really think she can control me anyhow she wants?

Geez, I needed to be like Francisca.

“Are you trying to blackmail me or what Monica?” I voiced out.

“You call that Blackmail?”

“You are threatening me! Haven’t you had enough already?”

“Oh no, I haven’t” She responded.

“Well then, go ahead and tell everyone.” I said.. I swear, I didn’t know how those words escaped my lips but I’m so frustrated right now. Sincerely, I’m sick and tired of everything.

“What? Do you really want that? Monica asked me

I was mute for a moment. She smiled evilly.

“You see, you do not want that” She concluded.

“It’s not like I have done anything wrong Monica” I spoke coldly then suddenly voiced out again..”Go ahead!”

Everyone at the cafeteria turned their glances at me like I’m insane.

I don’t know where this courage came from already; just yesterday I confessed to Francisca about who I was and I am still really scared of people finding out but all of a sudden… right now, I don’t want to care anymore because what will be will. One day, they’ll definitely find out; maybe today is that day.

Monica shot me an hard gaze like she was disappointed, she then scoffed again.

“Please Monica, just let me be” I said coldly and half pleading.

“I guess today isn’t the right time yet. Expect me sooner or later” She said, stood up and left.

She didn’t even go back to where she came from, instead she left the cafeteria.

I guess it’s because all eyes were on her.

I sighed and looked at where Francisca went to; even though she moved to sit with her crush, yet she was looking at me. Obviously she watched what was going on and she knew that Monica was gonna come for me.

She smiled at me and gave me a thumbs up.

I mouthed at her that I was leaving for the classroom.

Because all eyes were on me too.

“Hey” Vincent said to me when we were some distance away from our tables.

“Hey?” I smirked.

“Are you still mad at me?” He asked.

“Mad at you…”

“About the other time, I invited Monica over without your consent..”

“Forget about it. Yes I was upset but let await our Test results instead” I said.

“Okay” He nodded, smiling a little bit.

“So is that all you wanna say to me? You could have just said that… why bringing me over here..?”

“No.. not that”

“What?”

“I want your assistance Peter”

“Help? Are you in trouble?”

“No… I….” Vincent sighed heavily then he continued; “I want to tell Monica about my feelings for her” He finally spoke.

“Ohh” I mouthed.

“What.. so what do you think?”

“It’s.. uhm.. I don’t think it’s a bad idea”

“I can’t hold it anymore, I want to let her know about it”

“Go ahead. Sincerely, I wish you all the best. For sure If she’s more reasonable she’ll leave me the hell alone” I said and he chuckled.

“So how do you want my help?” I asked again.

“Hmmn” He hmmed and I guessed immediately that he wanted me to help him tell Monica about his feelings. That’s impossible because that annoying girl is all over me.

“Vincent I’m sorry; I can’t tell her about your feelings. It’s more proper if you let her know yourself”

“I know, I know right. Peter, an idea niggled at me… Actually, it’s been on my mind for a while now” He said.

“What idea is that?”

“Uhm.. I wanna start with an outing with her. Like a date”

I giggled hysterically “Sorry” I just had to say when I noticed he was frowning.

“You haven’t made any advances yet or even told her about your feelings and you are here talking about an outing with Monica”

“Listen” He kinda shunned.

“Wait a minute! Are you trying to make me an intermediary”

“Exactly”

I folded my arms.

“Tomorrow is another Saturday, tell her you have a date with her”

“Vincent!”

“Please help me just this once. She’ll come over, only to meet me.. I guess I’ld know how to fix things from there on” He said but I continued to stare at him.

“Peter” He held my hand.

“Okay Okay Fine. I’ld do that” I finally said.

“Tomorrow it is”

“Yeah, tomorrow” I said, sheepishly wondering about how to fix things properly between Bella and I instead since I’m helping Vincent get along with that psychiatric daughter of a bitch, Monica… She deserves to be called that.. She’s fvcking threatening her!

I hope she returns to her right senses when she finds out that someone else really likes her

“Let go” Vincent tapped my shoulder and began to walk before me.

Before I moved, I raised my head up, in search for Bella..

I didn’t see her nor Francisca; then turned my glance to where I initially sat, only to see Francis and Francisca… Monica has left too.

Uugh!

Staring at Bella keeps my company, now I feel kinda bored.

Good timing! Recess period is over.

I walked out of the cafeteria instead, waiting for my friends.
