I dropped the phone inside my locker quickly and shut the door. I walked towards Jace who was frowning
" Hi " I smiled

" Good morning " He replied, sighing as he put his phone inside his pocket

" Is everything okay? " I said

" Yeah, everything's cool " he forced a smile

" Right, are we still meeting today? " I  asked

" Yeah, sure "

" Okay, bye " I replied and went to my next class

It was time for lunch. I got to my locker and brought out the phone Jace gave to me. I went to the restroom and dialed his number, it rang for a few minutes before he answered it

" Hello " I said calmly

" Alisha, Thank God. I...I th-thought you have decided not to speak with me again " he stuttered slightly, his voice was filled with excitement

" I'm sorry, I got busy and I forgot about you for a moment " I replied him truthfully
It was true, I forgot about him the moment William came into my life.

" That's okay, so can we get to meet today "

" No no no, we can't. I've got to be somewhere today " I rushed my words out

" Alright, that's not a problem. When do you want me to call you? "

" Call me in the night " I said

" Okay " he responded

" I gotta go, I'll be expecting your call "
" Okay, bye " he said

" Bye " I ended the call conversation and got out of the restroom, then I went to the cafeteria for lunch.

" James, will you accompany me to Chris house? " I eyed him carefully

" Are you asking me to join you? " he replied with a question

" Oh my gosh! James, just answer the damn question " I hissed

" Watch your language, Jane " he growled as he made his way to his room

" I'm sorry, you are too frustrating sometimes " I said in a softer voice

" I'm not going with you " he replied before he shut the door at my face

" James, I'm sorry. Please go with me " I knocked on his door

" Stop disturbing me, I want to sleep " he yelled

" Okay, fine " I resigned before moving away

I took my backpack and made my way outside. I hailed a taxi and told the taxi driver the street I was going to before settling at the backseat.
" Keep the change " I said, alighting from the taxi
I walked to the front porch of the Donovan's house and ranged the doorbell. Seconds later, I heard someone rushing down the staircase and a sound of footsteps could be heard as the person moved nearer to the door. The door opened and I blushed when I saw what was at the door...Um, sorry, who was at the door.

Lo and behold, Jace Donovan stood in front of the door. He was just in a pair of short trouser, leaving his broad chest out for me to stare at. It seems he just had a shower cause his hair was wet. A drop of water from his hair flowed down to his chest, this action made me more flustered. I couldn't look away as I continued to stare at him.

" Ahem, hi " he cleared his throat and greeted awkwardly

" Hi " I snapped out of the daze I was and smiled at him

" Come inside " he gestured

" Thanks " I replied and followed him inside

" Do you mind a glass of water " he asked, brushing his wet hair
