Chapter 430 - Revenge 431: Zens Assignment (1/2)

”What are you so nervous about? You're just gonna have a talk with my grandfather, there is nothing to be worried about.” Lannie who heard the whole story from Anna chuckled at how nervous Anna is right now.

”But it's your grandfather. He doesn't really like me, Lannie.” Anna said with a pout. From what she heard from her grandfather, Elijah Robertson still refuses to believe that truth about his sister's death. And in other words, he still reluctant to liking any of the Coleman family members.

”Please. Don't say that, you never know unless you actually show up to spend time with my dear grandfather.” Actually, Lannie thinks that her grandfather is still against the whole Anna and Kyle thing, but she's hoping, deeply hoping that is not the case.

”Your face says otherwise.” Lannie may not verbally say what she actually thinks about this set-up, her expression is telling Anna something else. ”You are very encouraging right now,” Anna said sarcastically.

”Anna, stop worrying about now. You can worry about it later, so just help me with this assignment of mine.” Zen said with full of worry in his face. He wasn't listening to the whole conversation that the two girls are having, but it's clear to him that Anna is worried about something, but then again, he does not care.

All he cares about right now is his assignment that he has forgotten to do last night.

”Excuse me? That's not how you ask for help, you idiot.” Lannie said with a frown on her face. Zen can sometimes be so needy and pushy, and whenever he is like this, he sometimes forgot to mind his proper manners.

”I'm sorry. It's just that, this class is right after the break, and I haven't been able to finish half of it.” Zen felt like he is about to cry thinking that he is going to have extra work if he doesn't show that he finished his assignment. ”This class' teacher is extra scary, so, please! Help me!”

”Why didn't you just ask Josh for help? Aren't both of you in the same class?” Anna asked as she takes a glance at Josh who is currently eating his sandwich peacefully. Clearly, he's acting as if they aren't close to him.

”This guy?” Zen started as he points at Josh. ”He said he won't help me and that this is my problem. I know that this is my problem, but the teacher! I can't!” Earlier this morning, when Zen arrived in the classroom, he went straight to where Josh is sitting.

Before he could even say what he wants to say to Josh, Josh immediately turned him down.

”Well, it is true that that problem is yours and yours alone.” Aaron who is enjoying Zen's dejected face showed a smirk to him.

”Oh. Shut up!” Zen replied, then he faces Anna again while holding both of her hands. ”Please, Anna. You are my one and only hope.”

Anna stared at Zen and the longer she stared at him the harder it is for him to reject him. Zen looks like an abandoned puppy, and she can't refuse abandoned puppies like him. ”Fine!” She said.

”Anna, you shouldn't give in to him. If you do that, he will get used to it and will take advantage of you.” Josh spoke in a matter-of-fact tone. Zen heard what he said and only glared at him.

”It's only a one-time thing, I promise that it won't happen again. And besides, I will tell Aunt Andrea that Zen is being lazy to do his assignments.” Anna promised that this is going to be the first and the last time she will help Zen with his assignments. Also, if Zen ever comes to her again, she will have to call his mother and report to her.

”W-What? Now that is unfair.” Zen pouted, but Anna didn't reply and only pinched his cheeks.

”Wait. Am I not your friend?” Lannie suddenly asked Zen and the only response he to Lannie is a confused look on his face. ”I mean, you haven't asked me to help you with this. Or is it because you think I'm not smart enough to help you?”

From the sound of this, Zen has this feeling that this conversation is going to be a childish one. But even knowing that, he still responded to her. ”Of course, you are my friend and I think that you're very smart. It's just that I don't think that I can work with you.”

”You think you can't work with me? Now, that is mean.” Everyone that she is been with, they all think that she is fun to be with. None of those people have ever told her that they don't like working with her. Zen is the first one to tell her that. ”Why? Why do you think that way?”
