Painful Smiles

‘Salut! Let’s start the tour. It happens that I am your tour guide. Its prep already’ Claudia stood beside him.

It was prep and she needed to eat but she had to be done with this job first, and then enjoy her food knowing she annoyed Clara. The satisfaction!

Michael sighed inwardly. He didn’t need a tour when he could have the whole blue print of the school.

And this school belonged to an annoying worker of his father, the man was desperately needing to please his father.

He smirked but it disappeared when he noticed the girl beside him saying, ‘Don’t act like you didn’t hear me. Get your butt off the chair’.

He didn’t know why she was always so haughty. He liked haughty but not that haughty.

He looked at her before placing his gaze to the person behind her, Clara. Claudia followed his gaze and turned to her back.

‘Need anything?’ she asked Clara.

‘Just wondering, I could help you be his guide’ Clara said nicely, ‘I know you don’t like these kind of jobs. That’s if you don’t mind’ she added. Claudia scoffed at her niceness.

Of course, trying to act all good and cute in front of the rich French guy, her new target. Claudia scoffed again when she noticed the French guy was totally falling for it. A smile tugged at his lips.

‘Till I need your help. Thank you’ Claudia pushed Clara slightly. She knew her twin wouldn’t act rash in front of her new target. It was fun.

‘Ouch, don’t be mean. I asked nicely’ Clara pouted and waved a little to Michael before leaving.

Claudia rolled her eyes. She could only fool the French guy here because everyone in the whole school knew how terrible Clara was. The biggest bully in history.

‘Did you need to be that rude?’

Claudia faced the French guy. ‘Did you really ask me that?’ she cocked her eyebrows.

The fool had really fallen for Clara’s play and with Clara’s cute looks and popularity, he may be convinced he’s in love with her. Just like all the boys have been. Their lives were so pathetic.

‘I thought you hear English’ Michael said, standing up. Claudia shook her head and began walking away.

‘If you want, I could point out some kids you shouldn’t hang out with as your tour guide. If you want’ she emphasized.

He walked behind, ‘No thanks. You have a bad taste in people’.

‘And you’ll judge by my attitude with that girl? Do you even know what she’s like?’ Claudia stopped and faced him.

He stopped, smirked and kept on walking. Thus was going to be a very annoying job but she’d try to scale through.

Showing him the class and their form teachers weren’t hard. Even introducing some seniors he could meet when he needed help weren’t hard either. The part was enduring the glares from the ‘stalker girl’ and the annoying aura it gave.

It hadn’t been up to three minutes she began the tour that the stalker girl was unleashed. She followed them everywhere across the hallways, classes and even to the boys bathroom.

Claudia was highly nauseated. The stalker no one else than Clara. She was unleashing her creepy cute stalking self. Obviously playing cute stalker girl for the French guy.

He was totally noticing it. At first the classes, Claudia stopped and turned back. Clara made a short cute gasp and hid behind a block. She was obvious and acting like a lovesick idiot.

‘Let her be. I’m used to this’ Michael said. Claudia rolled her eyes. Clara was just trying to make him feel special and he was just falling. It was so annoying.

‘Look, sir, you don’t know her. How can you tell if she’s dangerous or not?’ she pointed at him. He shrugged and continued walking in the fields. Claudia walked with him.

‘Baseball court is in that building’ she pointed to a far away building while her eyes eyed Clara. Michael saw her eye trail. Clara was now walking to them. Keeping her most innocent face.

‘The teacher said when you’re done with him, you should send him to her’ she said. She was avoiding Michael’s gaze. He was looking at her steadily.

Claudia was honestly impressed with her sister’s acting skills. Even this Billionaire’s kid would fall in seconds. ‘Oh and you guys should eat before preps over’ she smiled cutely.

‘Will do. Thanks’ he answered.

Claudia sighed. Clara bit her lips slowly and dragged her eyes to him. ‘Okay’ it came out tiny then she hopped away. The guy’s eyes still followed her.

Claudia felt slight pity for him. She witnessed Clark the school’s crush fall hopelessly for Mega in their grade ten. With these techniques. Clara was Mega’s Queen, she’ll do a better job.

Then leave you near broke and definitely heartbroken.

‘If you’re done drooling, we can go see the teacher’ she broke him from his fantasies. He frowned at her, ‘I don’t drool. Are you always like this?’ he had a killer look. It disgusted Claudia. Everything.

Someone ran between them immediately. It was Wright. ‘Calm down, Frenchie. Don’t hurt her’ he pushed Claudia backwards. She shoved Wright aside.

‘Don’t call him Frenchie, he doesn’t deserve it. I’m done here’ she walked away. Michael sighed and went the opposite direction.

The girl just had so much hate that she poured on everyone. And given Clara is the reason he’s in the US, he wouldn’t be letting anyone hurt her.

Wright looked at both of them. He knew Claudia was ill-tempered but for her sake she should avoid that French guy.

‘No thanks’ she pushed the milk shake down the table. Wright looked at the second milkshake Claudia had thrown to the ground. Milkshakes couldn’t even cool her temper, what would?

‘Just avoid that French guy. He part of a Mafia lineage’ Wright said as a matter of fact. Claudia looked up at him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

‘Yes, its just a rumor but I think there’s some truth’ he added. A smirk crept on her face. Wright was confused with her reaction.

‘I am an angel. We are repulsive with Mafias’ she said cutely. Wright eyes widened. Was he hearing badass Claudia speak cutely?

‘R-Repulsive? A-Angel?’ he stammered. She nodded cutely too.
