The Bad Boy’s Favorite Girl

Chapter Sixty-eight

Elena pov

It has been three days already since we were caught up in the forest- well if you want to think of it technically, I was kidnapped in the forest.

The sun was almost going down and I was getting really exhausted from having to wander around the forest.

Just when I was beginning to tell myself that I would have to camp here for the night, Mac’s voice brought me hope, when he said;

“I can see the camp from here!” For some reason, I felt adrenaline rushing through my body and all the excitement in me clouded my tired body and I felt the urge to move on.

If I was ever told that I would make it back to the camp, I would tell such a person and say they were a fatal liar, but here I was finally getting back to camp.

As we approached the camps, I noticed fires were already made to light up the environment. They didn’t even bother to search for me.

Was I that of an introvert for no one to have noticed me? I was the brightest student in all of Oakwood and they didn’t bother that I was missing.

This was the only reason I had a sour mood and slowed my pace while walking back to the camp.

Mac seemed to have noticed and halted in his steps to check on me with the hope to see if, or if not I was okay.

“Why the sudden change of mood though?” He asked me to lean close to me.

Time could really be unpredictable. There was a time when I hated Mac so much for his playboy lifestyle and the times he bullied me, but here I was happily wrapped around his arms seeking comfort.

“Nothing, just tired” I replied and there was a sudden silence between both of us, as we stared at the fire that had been lifted up by the students.

So many questions came to my mind, and one of those questions was the reaction of the supervisors the moment they saw me.

Heck, I knew I had kept Vee and Sophia in so much worry that they were going to chew my ass out, but then It wasn’t my fault.

“You will have to lie to them” Mac’s voice brought me back to reality.

“What did you say?”

“Yes Elena, that’s the only way out. You cannot possibly say that Liam kidnapped you in the bush, it would sound utterly ridiculous” I couldn’t believe what he was saying!

“I don’t believe you are saying something like this man! You want me to lie to the supervisors and let Liam get away with it?” He sighed a bit and drew me closer to look him in the eyes.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Look, I need you to understand that there is already a brewing hate between the students of Oakwood and Lakewood. If the supervisors got to know about this, they would send a report to Lakewood and that would be the end for him” Everything he was saying at this very minute, was total trash to me.

“Why are you trying to protect him?”

“I am not protecting him, I know Liam more than you do and I am sure that if given the chance he would change” I don’t think that guy was the sort of person who was ready to change. They say change is constant, but for me, It wasn’t in the case of Liam.

“Look, I know this is hard and no matter how hard I try to explain it to you, it would sound utterly stupid. Just know that I will always be here for you and regardless of the fact that Liam is this wicked, deep down he is a good person” I stared at his eyes which spoke so many emotions at that very minute.

This wasn’t the Mac I had known a few times, he had certainly changed and though it felt weird, I was happy about it.

“Alright then, what is the lie” I succumbed and his face lit up and he said;

“Tell them I informed you that there was a much easier shortcut across the forest and then you followed me but you eventually got lost, I will take it from there” If I was being honest, the lie was totally lame but he was Mac and his acting skills were top notch at times too.

“Alright then, I will do it” He smiled and hugged me for a moment before staring at me in the eyes and ready to kiss me, but I stopped him.

“If we make out in these bushes, there would be no stopping and I cannot risk having my body bitten by snakes” I warned him and together we both laughed.

“So, are we ready to go?” He asked helping me up as I cleaned up my shirt

“Yeah.” I was ready to do this and whatever it was that would be the consequence, I would be ready to face it with no fear.

We walked through the forest and the moment we arrived at the camp, Vee was the first to see me and she squealed, running to hug me.

I hugged her back passionately and at that moment I knew I had missed her so much.

Everyone was beginning to gather around and when I opened my eyes, Sophia was also running to hug me but was dragged back by her sister.

I should have known Tisha would still be pissed over that Incident and would have threatened Sophia not to meet with me again.

“Miss Elena, Mr. Mac, To my office now!” The head of the supervisors said the moment he stepped forward to meet us.

While we headed towards the camp, Mac was being parted on the head by some of the guys around and he simply smiled back at them.

Once inside the supervisor’s camp, we sat down at the bed, while he leaned his body on the desk.

“You both better have a good explanation for this,” He said waiting for one of us to speak.

I looked at Mac, who nodded that I should go on with the plan.
