The atmosphere engulfing the counseling room was tightening. The eyes of the student were glaringly intensely into those of the counselor's. Yet, even as the passing second ticked on by, the demand and determinations of Diana Lombard's dominance overthrew that of the delinquent's attempt to scare her.
"Seriously Carl, if you keep on doing this, you're not going to make through college." The brunette's words were affirmative yet, her concern for the young man's future was definitely there.
"I know so because, I used to be in this school and honestly, if you don't work hard enough, you're not going to get the scholarship to Torrington University."
The teenager remained hushed. He completely acted as if her words were pointless to him. Diana sighed deeply. She was pissed but truthfully, she didn't want to scare or persuade the youngster to surrender. All she needed was to encourage and motivate them.
"Look Miss Lombard, I don't care alright. The bloody principle sent me here because he didn't like the way I dressed. So, screw that bastard. As long as my grades are above the red line, I'm safe" exclaimed Carl rudely before suddenly getting off his chair and making his way to the exit.
"And for the record, I'll prove to you that I'll make it into college. You'll see. Even better, I'll BREEZE through it." With that, he slammed the office's door.
Diana was speechless. The sensation of heat and angered raced through her veins.
"Ugh. I just can't take it anymore! Why the hack am I even here in the first place!?" exclaimed Diana mutely as she felt the fume of annoyance and regret raging in her mind.
"I'VE GOT A DEGREE IN PHYSCOLOGY FOR GOD'S SAKE! And here I am, being a miserable student counselor to all the sluggish assess of this stupid damned academy!" unmistakably, Diana's lost it.
Then, out of the blue, her phone rang. Diana hurriedly picked it up and answered it.
"Hello agent Lombard, this is the center. Apologies for calling at such a timing but MOM needs you to assemble in the center today"
"What? Whoa, wait a minute. Why are you calling me? It has been three years since I last worked on a case!" answered Diana with a tone that carried shock. She was certainly surprised by the notice of MOM calling her back for an assignment.
"Besides, I think you've gotten the wrong person. Maybe it's martin you're looking for. Not me!" continued Diana. She was definitely feeling pretty irritated and pissed when she heard her stepbrother's name being pronounced by her own voice!
"Nope. MOM specifically ordered you to come. Anyways, we'll see you in a bit. Goodbye" with that, the caller hung up the phone.
It was understandable that Diana Lombard had not seen martin mystery for some time now. As a matter of fact, they had not been in contact for more than two years now. Frankly, Diana was a little indifferent about the whole situation.
Ever since their parents had separated again, Diana and martin rarely talked to each other. Strangely enough, even so when they were no longer step siblings, martin always landed his invasive visits into Diana's dorm room or during her study breaks.
All Diana did was to either welcome him or completely knock some sense into the boy for interrupting her precious time. Their friendly love was always there until graduation.
Even so, now and again, she never did fail to receive letters and postcards from him. Once every two months, Diana would get martin's letters from overseas and this, honestly, made her delighted.
But as the year grew on, martin has stopped his annual postage and he rarely called her. Nevertheless, Diana strengthened herself into forgetting any wonderful memories she had with martin.
However, deep within her heart, Diana knew that she had always cared and missed him dearly.
Diana hurriedly stuffed her belongings into her handbag as she speedily rushed towards the door. The thought of MOM bickering at her for being late frightened her. Worst still, the scene of martin mockingly taunting her for being late pissed her off.
With that, Diana rushed out of the office and headed straight towards her car.
When all of a sudden, she saw a man standing right beside it. As she approached nearer, she politely voiced the stranger to move aside as she has to move the car. He ignored her.
Not wanting to waste anymore second, she braced herself up and rushed towards the man hindering her way. Diana felt her heart skipped a beat when he showed his face…
"Hey there, di"
