Cause this is South Africa [A Caspar Lee Fanfiction]

Chapter 10

K.C woke up early the next morning and made breakfast. She was exited that she had a chance to hang out with Trent again. K.C cooked up some bacon and eggs as the scent filled the room. Suddenly her cellphone rang, as she turned off the stove.

The phone continued to ring mindlessly as KC reached over to answer it.

"Hello?"

"K.C! How have you been? It's Brianna!"

"Brianna! I missed you! I've been fine, how's London?"

"It's great! There's loads of people at my college though. Anyway, I heard Trent is in South Africa too." Brianna hinted with amused tone.

"Haha yah, I'm actually meeting him today, we're hanging out."

"What?! Why are you talking to me? Go get ready girl! Bye!" Brianna hung up instantly, as KC laughed.

'Same old Brianna. She should come visit sometime. ' KC thought as she glanced at the clock.

"Crap! It's 11:30! I'm late!" KC ran to her bathroom and got ready as quickly as any girl would. tFeeling confident about her appearance, the blonde ran out the door. Unknowing to the girl, she had just past Laura, nearly knocking into her in the rush.

K.C headed outside and down the path to town. Sore from yesterday's events, she chose to speed walk the rest of the way downhill as she approached the bustling streets. The girl checked her phone to see that there was a text from Trent.

[hey i'm running late! Sorry about that, something came up. Meet me by the cafe right next to the pier. It's called 'Kenya's Finest'.]

"Kenya's Finest?" KC thought to herself. "Where's that?"

K.C looked around to find herself unable to find any pier or even any cafe looking buildings.

"Looking for something?" Came a cheeky voice.

KC knew it long enough to recognize it as Casper's.

"Hey Caspar! What are you doing here?" K.C smirked.

"Nothing, just running into you I guess." He shrugged. "Anyway where are you heading today?"

"Oh umm this place called 'Kenya's Finest'? I'm meeting my friend there..." K.C sighed.

"Oh I know where that is! It has great iced coffee, and their scones are really sweet!" Caspar grinned as he motioned KC to follow him.

The two began walking as Caspar began telling jokes and stories, making KC laugh. KC didn't notice but Caspar was staring at her, and was smiling warmly. He liked to see her smile, it suited someone like her.

"We're here!" Caspar pointed at a elegant looking building. The outside had colorful umbrellas and brightly colored tables and chairs. The window showed various pastries and tarts that would make anyone's mouth water.

KC pressed her face against the glass. "They all look really good!" She giggled.

Caspar chuckled. "So who are you meeting?"

KC turned around. " Oh my friend Trent he shoul-"

The girl was interrupted by someone calling her name in the distance.

"Hey KC! Sorry I'm late!" Trent ran up to her. The brunette glanced at KC but then frowned when he saw Caspar.

"Who's this?" He pointed.

Before KC could respond Caspar spoke up.

"Just some guy leaving, See you later!" He waved before the spiky haired boy ran off.

"You know him?" Trent eyed suspiciously.

"Kinda," KC waved it off. "Anyway what do you wanna get? The tarts look good!" She smiled attempting to change the subject.

Trent sighed as he blew off the image of the blonde haired boy, and put on a smile.

"Yah, whatever you want. I'll buy it today okay?" Trent chuckled.

KC nodded and the duo went inside.

...............................................................

Meanwhile, downtown Caspar was walking furiously down the street. His hands clenched in fists as his nails dig into his skin.

'She had a boyfriend! A boyfriend this whole time!' Caspar fumed as the images of KC being with Trent infuriated him.

He finally couldn't take it anymore, Caspar walked into an alley and punched the hard brick wall. His knuckles stung and blood trickled off them, leaving them blistered.

Caspar let out a long sigh, as he tried to recollect himself. Why did he feel this way? Thoughts of KC's face filled his mind. He remembered her gentle touch when she took care if him. Her smile that he always liked. Somebody like her was hard to find. She wasn't scared of him or judged him for what he rumored to have done. It wasn't fair to him, to see her with somebody else.

'I guess it's for the best...' He thought as he ignored his injured hand and walked towards who knows where. At the moment he just didn't care.

As Caspar walked down the paved road he stumbled upon a lost dog begging for food. The dog was white, or it looked like it. The mutt was filthy and its fur matted. Caspar could hear its stomach growl loudly as the dog whimpered. Without realizing it Caspar reached a hand out to the dog and stroked its head. He reached in his pocket and took out some beef jerky he had saved for later. He threw it to the dog before standing up and continued to walk down the street.

Suddenly he heard a low bark as he turned around. To his surprise the dog followed Caspar, looking at him with grateful eyes.

"I don't have anymore food bud, sorry."

He urged the dog to leave but it just strut by his side and sat down waiting for Caspar to continue walking. Caspar grinned.

"It looks like I have a new pet" he laughed as the boy and his new companion walked into the distance.

K.C and Trent were eating some pastries as they laughed about old times.

"Haha and remember when we almost got arrested at Julianna's party?" KC laughed loudly.

Trent nodded happily, as he tried to swallow his coffee.

KC laughed. "Don't choke okay?"

"Anyway," Trent asked. "I was wondering, who was that guy you were with?"

KC nearly choked on her water. "W-What about him?" She laughed nervously.

"I saw him before at the university, he ran out of the dorm in a hurry." Trent continued. " Did he visit you at all?"

KC felt the pressure build up on her. What could she say? Hey that's Caspar and he slept in my dorm? KC shook her head. Trent would get the wrong idea.

"I only helped him with directions," KC lied. "He might live in the dorm."

Trent nodded. "That's great, I was getting worried." He chuckled.

KC blushed. He was relieved? Is Trent jealous? KC shook the thought out of her head. Focus KC! You're just friends! Focus!

Trent stood up and tipped the waiter.

"Ready to go?" He asked as put on his shades.

KC nodded as the two walked down the street, disappearing in the crowd.
