The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 5

Anna's POV

I wake up the next morning and rush to take my bath. I have an 8:00am class. It is already 7:30 a.m by the time I am out of the bathroom.

I get a hold of the first piece of clothing my hand comes in contact with from my closet and wear it. I don't have time to make up so I dash out of my room, hoping to get a cab on time.

I see a tray of food right outside the door. I smile. I know it is my mother's handwork. I picke it up and realize she dropped it there the night before. I take it to the kitchen before walking to the living room. I don't have the intention of badding her goodbye, I am still a bit angry with her.

When I get to the living room, I see her talking with Pamela. They are whispering. They stop when they notice my presence. Pam bade my mother goodbye and we go out of the house.

"What's with you and your mother?" She ask as we get to the car.

I shrug. "What was she telling you?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Yes."

We remain silent till we get to school. I know Pamela has a lot to talk to me about but the news we heard yesterday is still strange to her the same way it is to me.

When we get into the school premises, Pamela parks the car and we get out.

We walk fast towards the lecture hall because we have just a few minutes to the start of our first class for the day.

Before I can step into the lecture hall, my eyes interlock with Tony's and he quickly looks away.

I look away too and enter the hall for my first class this morning.

"You didn't go out with Tony last night as intended, right?" Pamela demands from me as we find our way to the parking lot around 3 pm. We are done with the lecture for the day.

"Yes."

"I saw the way he was....."

"Ignored me?"

"Yes." She answers. "That's so bad of him."

"Don't mind the idiot."

"Did you tell him what happened?" She asks with curiosity.

"He was ranting about how he had told his friends that I was coming and how disappointed they would all be if I didn't come. He didn't even care to know why I said I won't come again before saying all that bullshit."

"What about when you told him?"

"I only told him I am sick. Maybe he thinks I am lying since I look healthy today."
