A Story of Two Silent Lovers

Chapter Three

The bell rang, and the class was over. Kylie and Stacy walked out of the class in a hurry to see Eric. They hastily put their books into their lockers and took the books needed for their next lesson and hurried their way through the crowd.

At the end of the crowd, Stacy and Kylie nodded at each other and walked in different directions. Stacy to left and Kylie to the right corridor.

Kylie knew exactly where she would meet Eric. As she walked down the hall, passing some empty classes and three or two students passing by her, busy in their conversation to recognize what she was doing in this section of the area; she gradually fixed her hair, in an appropriate and attractive way to impress Eric. She slowly took out her phone and carried it in her hand.

Then she saw Eric, walking out of a class a little ahead of her, with two more guys on both of his side, busily talking to him.

Eric was smiling and he looked very happy for some reason.  His short, dark hair was fixed up, and his broad shoulders showed strength in him even though he wore long sleeved cloth, which actually showed the perfect shape of his body. His face was peach and his cheeks were slightly red when he smiled. His forehead was a little wide and a strong nerve showed from the side of his forehead. His cheeks were bony and his nose was narrow. His smile was wide and very attractive and suited his narrowed eyes. Without any doubt, he was truly handsome.

Kylie stared at him, his grace and his flawlessness. She was stunned even though she never liked it when he chased after her to be his girlfriend. She didn’t know why she never accepted his request. Anyway, she didn’t care. She followed her plan.

On the other hand Stacy waited till Stella and Emmy walked out from their class. She hid aside in another empty classroom, all still and calm. She wasn’t nervous, scared or unconfident. She was the total opposite; confident, sure and cool.

Stella and Emmy’s conversation echoed in the hallway, “Eric will probably be out by now. I need to talk to him for some while before the next lesson.” Emmy said.

“I bet Kylie won’t spare us until she proves her point to Mr. Wyatt. We gotta keep him away from them both …” Stella said.

Stacy’s mind stirred with confusion, to whether call Kylie, stalk Stella and Emmy or stop them. She thought carefully for a while and finally decided to message Kylie instead of calling to inform her.

                The footsteps of the two girls echoed louder as they got closer to the classroom where Stacy was hiding in. Stacy held her breath and slid her phone into her jean pocket. She didn’t want to listen to their useless conversation and to get disturbed by it.

                Stacy slowly looked out from the classroom to see if they were gone. She could faintly see their figure in the far distance, walking speedily and then took a left turn. Stacy hurried out of the class, before she would be spot by other students, and before she would lose their track.

Kylie felt her phone vibrate in her hand. She walked slower than earlier and looked down at her phone. It was a new message she received from Stacy which said: Emmy and Stella got out of the classroom. They’re looking for Eric. Hurry up and quickly work on your plan. I’ll keep them busy in all ways I can. I’ll tell you the rest when we meet. Kylie quickly slid her phone into her jean pocket and took a deep breath.

Eric stopped as he saw Kylie in front of him. His conversation came to a sudden halt and his friends looked at him confusedly, and then at Kylie.

“We’ll… see you later Eric.” The boys said and walked off.
