Chapter 34. Plan B
The class was as silent as a graveyard as the students were busy with mathematics tests again. Carson was staring at the paper with no clue of what to write, he looked to the left and right to see the people writing on their papers.
“No side looking!” Mr Brown hit a stick on his table that made him face his book.
After two hours, the text was over, Carson sighed as he stepped away from the class.
“How was it man?” Fred walked up to him and asked.
“The usual, you know they were all looking like Chinese to me” Carson replied.
“Sorry man, next time” Fred tapped his shoulders twice before leaving.
Carson began keeping some of his books inside his locker when Gracie and Ryan walked past him, giggling and holding hands. He just sighed and shook his head before dropping his book on his locker.
“Hey,” a familiar male voice sounded behind them.
He knew it was James and his heart skipped a beat. This would be the first time he would be seeing James after finding out that he was gay.
He immediately cleared his throat before turning to face him.
“Hi,” he avoided eye contact.
“How was your math oh don’t bother answering, I saw the way you sulked on your way out of the exam hall” James shook his head.
“Sorry James, you took your time to teach me but I still ended up the same, I’m sorry” As Carson talked, James noticed he was avoiding eye contact.
He brought his hands to his chin and made him look up at him, where their eyes contact to meet.
“You’re avoiding looking at me?” He asked.
Carson stared at James’ eyes and couldn’t look away or say anything.
“Don’t be too tense, it’s just me” he smirked and Carson foolishly nodded his head.
James chuckled and Carson’s eyes widened, he immediately slapped James’ hands away from his face.
“Since our tutor continues then I’ll see you in your next meeting, bye” he turned around, forgetting his locker was behind him so he hit his head on it.
“Oh!” James winced like it was his head that got hit. “Are you okay?” He asked afterward.
“I’m perfectly fine” Carson faced him with a smile before excusing himself.
James just turned back to look at his retreating figure with a smile on his face.

DELGADOS’ MANSION★
The car finally stopped in front of the garage and Mason came down. He helped Skylar down before they took their bags.
“Bro” Hudson spread his arms and began moving toward him but Mason dodged him and he ended up hugging the air.
“That’s not fair, you haven’t even seen me for three days, don’t you miss me?” Hudson pouted.
Mason didn’t mind him, he knew Hudson was doing all this because he would come tomorrow to beg him for a post since his week suspension was already over.
“Is it Grandpa in his study?” He asked Matilda who was washing the dishes.
“Yes sir and welcome back home sir” she immediately greeted him.
“Okay, let’s drop our bags off before we go to see him,” he told Skyler who nodded then the both of them went in.
After greeting Grandpa, Skyler excused herself because the old man wanted to see Mason alone.
“So have you heard about what is happening with your sister online?” He asked.
“The rumor that came up? I thought it already went down” Mason creased his brows.
“It came up again, your sister is devastated and we have to do something about it,” he said worriedly.
“Don’t worry Dad, they just need bigger news and I have that to give” Mason rolled his eyes.
“What?” Grandpa Mario asked.
“D•S will be opening a competition show for upcoming fashion designers, I’m sure a lot of people will be excited once I make the announcement,” he said.
“Good plan and Skyler, have you told her about it?” The old man asked again.
“Yes and she’s interested, I’m sure she would do well” he shrugged his shoulders, and his eyes suddenly caught Grandpa’s phone wallpaper.
“Grandpa, where did you get that from?” His eyes widened because it was the picture of when Skyler poured flour on his face.
“Oh, Skyler sent it and I immediately used it as my wallpaper. It’s a really rare picture and I have sent it to your mother and sister” Grandpa Mario smiled.
“Grandpa!!!!”

In Maya’s room, she was sitting on the chair and looking at her family pictures, pictures of Mason when he was a baby, Ivy and Dylan, and her.
Her phone rang and she checked to see an unknown number. She narrowed her eyes and picked up the phone.
“Hello? Is this Maya?” A female voice sounded.
“Yes, and this is?”
“Agnes.. it’s me Agnes Cassandra” the woman replied and Maya’s eyes widened.
“Bestie? OMG, where are you? Why did you change your number!” She immediately stood up from the chair.
“I got robbed recently so I had to get a new phone” Agnes replied.
“Robbed? I hope you’re fine” Maya’s face turned worried instantly.
“Don’t worry, I’m not hurt, I wanted to let you know that I’m back in LA, I just arrived last night” she said and Maya turned happy immediately.
“I miss you so much Agnes, I’ll come visit you later, are you free?” Maya asked happily.
“I’ll be free in the evening, I’ll see you”
“Me too” Maya smiled and hung up.
Meanwhile,

MASON’S ROOM★
Skyler stared at herself in the mirror before taking the plan B she bought earlier. She had sex with Mason twice without protection, she still has a lot of things to do, and getting pregnant is not her plan.
“I hope I’m not too late” she muttered before opening the tablet and putting two pills in her mouth.
The door opened and Edna happily stepped in. When she heard that Skyler was back, she couldn’t wait to greet her.
“Skyler, I missed you” she shouted happily and out of fright, Skyler dropped the plan B on the floor.
“I’m sorry” Edna apologized and hurriedly grabbed the tablet before Skyler could take it.
She looked at it and her eyes widened.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
