Chapter 78
After a while Carlos decided to part ways with the group as he had an important class in which he would not want to miss, so he bade them goodbyes and told them that he would see them at the game the next day.
Audrey and his brother then decided to look for his sister as she was the only key to finding out whether their mother is Nanny Maria or not.
” don’t tell me you are thinking of bothering the innocent girl” Austin looked at them suspiciously
” no no, we just want to make friends with her” Derrick said feigning ignorance, but Austin knew that Derrick was a very bad liar, he did not know how to hide his intentions it was written all over his face what he intended to do with the girl.
” Do not even lie to me you guys because I know when you are both up to no good,” Austin said.
” see, Austin our nanny has lingered for her son for the longest time, what if this is our chance of letting her know about his whereabouts’ ‘ Audrey said pleading with Austin to understand where they were coming from.
” And how are you sure Carlos is related to that woman? ” Austin asked. He understood where they were coming from but he did not want them to make a big mistake in case they turned out to be wrong.
” we can never tell, we can only know the truth by investigating, we do not intend on hurting anyone” Derrick pleaded
” Alright, I just hope this thing does not backfire,” Austin said with all skepticism.
Before they proceeded to go to Audrey’s room, hoping to do what little brainstorming they could do to help their friend Carlos, even if they had just met him he really seemed cool and they enjoyed his company so much, they decided to go have some lunch at a nearby restaurant and most probably order take out too, as they were really hungry. By the time they had finished it was almost evening so they went to Audrey’s room and found Bradley, his roommate was around, he hardly ever went out.
” Heyyy Brad’s, what’s up ” Derrick said slamming his fists into Bradley’s, this took him aback as they had just met that day, this was their first encounter and he was greeting him like he had known him for ages.
“What’s up Derrick, you know me?” Bradley said receiving the fist bump in a friendly manner.
” I have heard so much about you, my brother talks way too much” Derrick teased.
“Ooh i see I hope they are just good tales” Bradley joked
They then had their meal in silence afterwards in total silence, Audrey was not a fan of talking during meals but if Derrick was given a chance he would sing the whole National anthem while eating his meal.
” Bradley are you busy?” Audrey asked
” no, no what’s up?” he replied and looked up at his roommate who looked like he had been meaning to ask him a question for the longest time but did not know how to bring it up without fearing that he would disturb his roommate.
” so I wanted to know if by chance you know any Carlos Rodriguez in Sophomore year, he plays basketball ” Audrey asked.
“Sure I do, I mean who does not know Carlos, he is like the biggest player in the basketball team” Bradley scoffed and said.
” so if you know Carlos you must know his sister” Derrick said feeling hopeful
” Well I would not say I know his sister but all I know is that her name is Selena and she is a freshman, I heard she is in English, isn’t that what your girl is studying?” Bradley asked, looking up at them as he continued typing.
“Yes, Yes, Yes thank you” Audrey asked feeling excited he knew what to do, he was going to tell Stephanie to get close to the girl and make friends with her maybe she was going to open up to her, like Derrick knew what he was thinking, he walked up to him and gave him a smack on his head. ” Are you crazy ” he said and smacked his brother with the pinky finger on his hand.
“Why did you do that” Audrey asked wincing in pain
” and I am going to do it again, are you crazy do you know what you are thinking, don’t tell me you want to drag Stephanie into this ” Derrick asked.
” what harm could that be, I mean she is only helping is befriend the girl nothing more” Audrey asked nonchalantly
” that’s ridiculous, she has her own issues to deal with don’t compile it because you are her now her boyfriend if you can not to the walking up to talk I will” Derrick said and picked up his bag to leave
“I advise you guys to tread carefully, if you’re are planning anything, did Carlos ever tell you that their father is a police chief and could easily get you arrested, you guys are not above the law” Bradley warned.
Audrey then decided to go with Derrick’s plan; it made more sense than his by the way, it would not have been advisable using Stephanie for their plans , tendencies that it would flop if they made use of her was high so they were going to do it low-key. After a while Derrick left his brother’s room for his hotel he needed to get some sleep before night falls, shortly after that Austin who had been mute throughout the whole conversation decided that he was going to leave too, leaving just Audrey and Bradley to themselves
