I walked quickly to the house and thank goodness everyone was asleep. I quietly walked into the house through the backdoor and I thank God the door doesn't make squeaky sounds.

I pulled off my shoes climbed up the stairs quietly. I finally made it to my room, I opened the door and went in.

I felt so sneaky and achieved too. I undressed and didn't bother having my showered to avoid the shower noise. I went straight to bed.

"It was so romantic. My favourite part was when he kissed me. I loved every moment of it. I feel like doing it again." I said to Beth who sat opposite me in the cafeteria.

"I don't think you should do this. Sneaking out! That's beyond you Gabby. "

" Relax Beth. It's just once." I told her

" I just want to hold him and kiss him again. But next time on the lips." I told Beth

" Whatever." she said as she rolled her eyes

" You're just jealous" I said playfully

" No, I'm not." she replied

" Yes you are." I continued

" You're just jealous, you're just jealous." I sang out.

The school bell was jingled and we returned back to our classes.

"Tom and Bethany, you're next." Miss Maryanne said to us.

I stood up from my seat and took a deep breath. I headed to the front of the class and so did Tom.

"Hey guys, my name is-- ugh. You know our names already, soo--" Tom said

The class laughed

What's so funny about that

"Our debate is titled 'technology's importance to education.' " he introduced.

"Technology is very beneficial to everyone of us, from facebook to instagram to WhatsApp. Everyone has access to internet even..." I began the debate and he also continued.

At the end of our debate the whole class gave us a resounding applause.

He looked at me and smiled and I returned a fake smile back.

We both walked back to our seat which was next to each other's.

"That was an impressive presentation. Your mark is 9 out of ten." Miss Maryanne said with a smile.

I was overwhelmed. I had never gotten that high in English class before.
I must admit, he really pushed me into doing this and it was worth it. I didn't tell him that though.

"Gabriella, see me after the class." Miss Maryanne instructed

The bell rang from the end of english period and everyone carried their book and bags out of the class

I headed over to her table and said

"Miss Maryanne, you wanted to see me. Am I in trouble?"

"No, not at all." She replied.

"It seems Tom is really helping you push forward. He is really brilliant and he could really help you. I hope you take my advise and follow his tactics." She said with a smile.

" Thanks a lot. " I said as I slung my backpack over my shoulder and headed out.

                                ××××××
I got back home feeling really tired and I immediately slept off.

***************

"Ugh, I feel so dizzy." I groaned as I woke up from my slumber.

"Ahh." I yelled
"You startled me" I said to Lance
He was sitting on my couch and was watching me.

"What are you doing in my room, you weirdo?" I asked.

"Nothing," he said with a mischievous smirk.

" I came here to ask for your phone so that I can send some documents from your phone to my phone.
I saw you sleeping, so I did it myself. But I opened your phone and I saw this..

What did Lance find?
