Larry ordered banana ice cream for Mildred and for him, vanilla.
After scooping a spoonful, she couldn't help but ask Larry
Mildred:" How did you know my flavor.?"
Larry:" Let me take a guess, you use banana flavored shampoo."
Mildred giggled
Mildred:" Yh, I do."
Larry:" Your bags key holder is banana shaped.
Mildred:" Hey Larry, your Soo observant."
Larry:" Thanks for the compliment, my lady."
Mildred:" Don't be dramatic. I'm Mildred Raine."
Larry:" That's a beautiful name."
Mildred:" Don't say that."
Larry:" I mean it. You said you've taken a liking into me-"
Mildred:" Just imagine I never said that."
Larry:" Alright. At least we could just be friends."
Mildred couldn't hide her excitement.
Mildred:" Alright. We're friends."
Larry:" Good girl. Eat up let me take you home."
After they finished the ice cream, Larry took her home.
He had someone look into Mildred Raine's family.
He finally understood her.
He called the HR manager of Kandle and told him to hire Nora again and give her a raise.
He covered the medical expenses for Mildred's mom's surgery.
He could have taught her( Bianca) better.
.....
Next day
Rumors of Mildred's sister spreads in school.
As expected, Bianca's name was attached to this as being the one who got Nora a raise.
This gained her more followers.
Mildred knew it wasn't her but she let it slide.
It didn't matter to her anymore.
.....
Class E
Ashton sat beside Ryanne again. Yesterday, Ryanne had warned him but he refused. He wondered what she was up to today.
The basketball coach had sent for him. He met Max on his way. Mr. Hills had asked him (Max) to take the project work he had assigned them the previous week.
Ashton texted Ray," Take my project out of my bag and submit it. I'll be back."
Ray saw that Ashton's bag was beside Ryanne and hesitated.
He told Alex to do it instead. Alex without batting an eye walked over and took the project for submission.
Later on, after Ashton returned, he was summoned by Mr. Hills.
Ashton:" Mr. Hills"
Mr. Hills:" Ashton Miles, were is your project work?"
Ashton:" Submitted"
Mr. Hills:" Prove it!"
Ashton took the book with his name on it.
Ashton:" Here it is."
Mr. Hills;" Open it!"
Ashton opened the book. Surprisingly it was blank.
Ashton:" No way! This can't be!"
Mr. Hills:" Ashton Miles, you know I'm a man of Principle. You can't escape my punishment. I heard the person in charge of cleaning the equipment room is on sick leave. It's your duty today. Starting from now. Don't return to class until it's done!"
Ashton:" was dumbfounded. He did his project work neatly making sure it was devoid of any error.
But in the end this is what he got.
....
Ashton didn't return to the class for an hour. Ryanne was happy, he won't be dare to sit beside her again.
Just then, some students came rushing in.
" Have you heard, Mr. Hills punished Ashton Miles for turning in a blank book for project."
" What's the punishment?"
" He's cleaning the equipment room."
" That's not suitable for the young Master of the Miles. Besides that room hasn't been cleaned for the past two weeks."
I heard the switch isn't working."
" And do you know the worst part? While working an old dumbbell fell on his wrist."
" That's bad! Where's he now?"
" He's been taken to the hospital."
Ryanne's ears caught the news.
Her heart stopped. ' What had she done?!', she thought.
She had wanted to teach him a lesson but how did she end up making it this cruel?
She had to see him and let him know the truth.
She went to their home room teacher, Oscar Gates. She lied about having allergies which were acting up. He asked her to go home.
She took Ashton's bag and sneaked her way out without any of their classmate's notice.
She headed straight to the hospital.
It took her time to find where Ashton was.
He was in a VIP ward.
....
Dr. Whyte, Ray's brother bandaged Ashton's wrist.n
Bruce:" Ashton, you're just lucky it's a minor injury."
Ashton:" it's such a relief. I just wanted to escape punishment."
Bruce:" But next time be more careful. Also you caught a cold but it's mild. Your meds are here. Be a good boy and take them."
Ashton:" Alright."
One of Ashton's men entered the room.
Ashton:" Speak."
" Someone is here to see you," he said.
Ashton:" Who's that?"
" I don't know but she said she's Rya-"
Ashton:" Let her in and tell anyone who comes later they can't see me."
" Okay, Young Master.", he said and left.
Bruce:" Who's that?"
Ashton:" Bro, I need your help."
Bruce:" What?"
Ashton:" Acting. Hold my wrist."
When the door opened, Ashton whispered, " Action."
