17. Who's the hacker?

Olivia

''Dad!'' I yell at the top of my lungs.

I get out of my room and head downstairs.

"Dad!''

''What's wrong pumpkin? '' dad asks worried.

"Look at this.'' I say showing him the Instagram post.

"What?" Dad says furrowing his brows, ''I didn't write this email.''

"You didn't?" I ask confused.

"No, I'm not facing any financial problems.'' dad says giving me the phone.

''If it wasn't you, who wrote it then?" mom asks.

"Dad your email might be hacked'' Lucy says and mom gasps.

''Quick check your email.'' I say to my dad.

"Wait principal Nova is calling.'' dad says as his phone rings.

"Hello, principal Nova.'' dad answers, '' No I don't want my money back, my email has been hacked...yes...I don't know who did it, but I'll find out...please don't panic...I'll fix it and I don't want the money back...yes goodbye.''

I'm more then sure that she started with her drama speech.

''Steve.'' dad calls his assistant, ''Call our hacker to find out who is the one who hacked my email. And tell him to win the email back and change all the passwords.''

"Yes sir.''

"Dad, we have to write a social media post to explain that your email has been hacked and you don't want your money back." I say.

"I don't have time for that pumpkin.'' dad says,

"But dad we have to. Our school figure is ruined.'' I say.

"Pumpkin, that email has too many information, the school figure is the last thing I'm thinking right now.''

"But-''

''Olivia, leave your dad alone. We'll do it later okay?"

"Fine.'' I scoff.

''Do you think the Cullens did it?" I ask Lucy.

"I don't think they're able to do that.'' she answers.

They can do everything.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, Joel is good with computers.

I have seen him in computer science class, he completes every task even the hardest one that no one can do.

I often look at him in awe because he looks so fucking hot in front of the computer.

Was it him?

''Sir.'' Steve calls at the door.

"Come in Steve. Did he find anything?"  dad asks.

"He did sir. The intruder is from Royal Elite school. The hacking is done by the principal's computer.''

I knew it.

''What?" mom asks.

"From the school?" dad asks, ''Did he find out who was it?''

"No, sir. That's all he can do.'' Steve answers.

"Okay. Tomorrow we're going to check the school cameras, make everything ready.'' dad says.

"Yes sir.'' Steve leaves.

''How can it be from the school?" mom asks.

"The Cullens.'' I say.

''That's what I'm thinking too.'' dad says.

"No way.'' mom says. ''Do you think Adam did it?"

''No.'' dad answers, ''If Adam did it, he would have stolen all my information and damage my company. His kids did it to humiliate our kids.''

"They are grown smart.'' mom smiles.

No way she's smiling at that. Is she proud or something?

''Okay. Are you doing the social media post now, dear father?" I ask.

"Principal Nova will do it pumpkin.'' he says.

Thank God.

"Okay good.'' I say.

''Well, good morning, princess. Why so sad?'' Joel asks and I narrow my eyes at him. He's repeating my yesterday's words.

''You did it.'' I say walking towards him.

''Did what?'' he asks putting on the 'no clue' face.

''You hacked my father's email.'' I say hitting his chest.

''Who me? Princess, I don't even know how a computer works let alone hacking.'' he says.

"Stop playing, I know it was you.'' I say hitting him.

He grabbed both of my hands, forcing me to stop hitting him and pushes me against the wall, holding my arms.

''How can you prove it?" he asks smirking.

"My dad is coming with his team to check the CCTV camera. You're over Cullen.'' I say.

"Oh, am I?'' he says smirking and my face fells.

He didn't hack the cameras too, did he?

''You...didn't.'' I say.

"Yes, I did.'' he smirks.

''You mother-'' I struggle to free myself from him. ''I won't let you get over with this Joel.''

"I would love to see you trying.'' he chuckles.

''You...let me go.'' I say and he doesn't.

''Let. Me. Go.'' I say glaring at him.

But instead of letting me go, he did something that cut the breath from my lungs.

He kissed me in my check.

What. The. Hell?

I look at him confused and he lick his lips.

My gaze immediately dropped at them.

''I like it when you're angry.'' he says and walks away leaving me speechless.

''This isn't over, Cullen.'' I yell.

"Who said it is?" he says walking backwards.

I hope he trips and falls.

He doesn't. Bah!

"Ughhhhh!'' I scream as soon as he's out of the view.

''Hey dad.'' I say.

"Hi pumpkin.''

"Did you find who the hacker is?" I ask.

I know he didn't because the freaking Cullen hacked the cameras.

He hacked everything.

He's so smart and that makes him hot, and I want to cry.

''No, the cameras are hacked too it doesn't show the moment when the hacking is done. The principal is changing them.'' he says.

"You know the Cullen did it right?" I ask.

"Yeah, but which one of them?" dad asks.

Should I tell him that I know which one did it?

No, Joel is mine.  I'm the one who gets to make him pay.

''So? Did they find it?" Lucy asks when dad leaves.

"No. The fucker hacked the CCTV system.'' I say.

"Who?" she asks.

Come on, she hasn't figured it out until now?

''Joel Cullen.'' I scoff.

"Are you sure it was him?" Lucy asks.

"Yes. He admitted it himself.'' I say.

"Oh.'' yes oh.

''I'm going to make him pay Lucy.''  I say.

"How are you going to do that?"

"I don't know, but I will. This game has two sides and I'm not going to be the one who lost it.'' I say.

"Okay.''

"I'm going to my class.'' I say and Lucy nods.

''Ohh, school queen is here!'' Justin shouts.

''Well, I'm disappointed in you Justin, so don't speak at all.'' I say crossing my arms.

''Why? What did I do?" he asks.

"You immediately believed the rumors, and so did you others.'' I say.

''Well, everything that comes out of Royal Academy news is true so...'' Justin says to explain.

"Right.'' I roll my eyes.

''We know now that it wasn't true, that's the important thing, right?"  Sarah says.

"Right.'' I fake smile at her and walk toward my desk.

''What's up?'' Joel smirks leaning back in his chair, ''Did anything come up from the CCTV footage?"

"Shut the fuck up.'' I glare at him.

''What? I'm just asking.'' he shrugs.

At the moment I was going to speak to him my phone vibrated as did his.

I get my phone out of my pocket to check the message.

Royal Academy news mentioned you in their post.

''Fuck!'' Joel curses looking at his phone and I look at him in confusion.

I open my Instagram and go straight to Royal Academy news.

Shit!
