Chapter 8 - 8. July,who?

Jack Harrison: When I entered the office, I could see Xavier Abied, an old man with a white French beard and rose-pink skin with long eyes and a mole on his right cheek. Xavier didn't need any "introduction" from my side. He was attending an important call. I was in the chair in front of him. He called out to "July" to bring some sort of letter and a file. I know at this moment, 9:45, everything will be still; it will be a matter of half an hour. When I saw "July," she greeted me, "Hello, Jack." I said, "Hello." July: "Hey Jack." Jack: Hello (awfully). July: "I hope you remember me; I am your classmate.". Jack: "Off course, Jule Abied." July: " it is July, jullayyy (the season) abied." Xavier said, "excuse us, July, we are here for some important things. Isn't Jack in?"? Jack: "Sir, I hope you will at least listen to me." Xavier: "Sure, my son, I would love to hear what Elbert's son has to say." Jack: " he is the top. most lawyers among the Qatar group of lawyers". Xavier: "I know. I know, but right now, dear, this serviceman "has your record." Jack: "I didn't mean that..." Xavier: "Anyways, does punching another student to the end he has breathing problems justify any cause? For a girl I have never seen you with Harrison, I have been keeping an eye on freshers and old friends both to save them from the scandals. July: "Oh, for a girl, you don't like" strangers, "right...strangers, huh...". Xavier: "July stop listening to our conversation; it is none of your business. go back home..." Jack: "Stop, we could clear. July". Xavier: " So you are being suspended for 3 days, Harrison. I have especially told our guards to prohibit your vehicles." Jack: " just three, seriously "? Xavier: " you may leave." Ugh, I was filled with so many thoughts today, and July the fall was still surrounding me. I don't know how to clarify my love and hate for the fall, the season July. Where I left a baggage, I carried myself. The season of madness, chaotic sadness, falling in love. but I never fell in love, though. There are no leaves and falls; it is mere imagination, the world I like to have.... For now I have balance... seeing July simply fills me with nothing at all. It was the new deep winter for me. Hailey was waiting outside. Hailey: "Why didn't they call me? What happened?"? Alex: " what happened? Emma: " did he listen? Jack: "Alright, guys, Hailey,Hailey you don't have to meet him." Hailey: "Oh reallyyyyyy, what did you do, Jack?" Jack: "Just Jack and Jack's legacy." Alex: " you father called him up."? Jack: " I don't know." Alex: " anyways, we are trouble-free." Emma Alex wrapped Hailey in a hug, and she insisted I come along, so I did. I could spot July Abied moving towards the campus. She glanced at me, and I walked towards her. I told her not to disclose anything about my suspension. I don't want anyone to worry... not anyone, maybe just Hailey... July was trying to friendly fade away her old image out in the campus. Hailey: "Who is that girl, Jule Juul, July whatever? Emma: " are you jealous, Hailey?"? Alex: "damn she is juicing." Emma: " why don't you go and greet our senior, Alex?". Hailey: "Ahem, jealous whooooo and why? Emma: " as you say, we will see." Alex: " she is walking towards us with Jack.". July Abied, daughter of our principal, the prevailed brat, was walking old Cannes model lol, and Dior doll was walking towards us three, but I appeared as an invisible woman. I was not interested in meeting any seniors, especially female ones; I never had a good history of female friends. "Pick me up" ones. July comes. July: Hello, newbies! I am July-abied! Diplomatic lawyer and a model. Before you ask Julayyy, not Julle! . Alex: Hey, Alex Wright, your own campus drummer from "7 Stars." Emma: Hey, this is Emerson/Elle. My friends call me Emma. July was staring at me, and it was a second of awkward silence when I responded. Hailey: "Hey Jullyy, this is Hailey Roosevelt, the next diamond woman lol." July replied, " nice to meet you. The Bieber fever?" (giggling) Hailey: "The falls are off.". This tension between all the 5 members was none other than nations of UNO, parliamentary debates, or like a daily soap. Jack was forcefully smiling to maintain the convo as healthy. Emma was giggling, stopping herself and again giggling; Alex was a bit tense. The four lines at our rockstar's head were hinting at the broken rhythm of the violin going on in his head, hearing me and July. Nobody talks to a senior like that here. But I didn't care if she was a daughter of principle or a senior of mine. I don't like being nice to everyone. I didn't hate her, of course; it was the heat of the moment. I didn't like her interrupting Jack and our conversation, yet it was only Jack who did go to her. I was not ready to invite her to our group. Soon after half an hour of shit, a bit of ketchup, gowns, dry ,drycleans, music, aim,aim ,flirt ,the conversation was over. I was the quietest among them. Author's POV. Meanwhile, scenes at Jack's home were quite different since the conflict. Jack didn't talk to his parents much; he just came, ate, and slept. All wasn't going quite well between him and his dad, and now he was going to his home suspended. Hailey had no idea about his suspension; he didn't tell her to make her feel guilty. Now the task for Jack was to make everyone believe that he had real reasons to not attend the college. James was connecting with Emma from the day she accepted his request at Cultural Global Qatar. James Harrison, a playboy, never had any loyal history. Emma was unaware of his dark past. On the other hand, Alex knew that his brother was a passed-out Robert Gordon. He was stopping Emma, but he wasn't sure about it; Alex was falling for Emma's innocence, but he didn't confess as she brought up James's topic. Emma did feel for Alex, but she was too confused between love and a crush. As she had a crush on James since the lift meet-up. Emma didn't tell Hailey about anything due to Hailey's mess at college.
