The Girl In The Purple Dress

Runaway

Today was Klairee's last day of school as she's going to start her hospital duty as a nurse intern. Scarlett and the rest if the guys planned for a farewell dinner for her in the pool.

Everyone's already there except for Klairee. She's in her room and had no idea what's going on in the pool area.

"Hey, are you home?" Scarlett called her over the phone.

"Yeah, I'm relaxing. What's the matter?"

"Can I come over later for dinner? I'll bring food." Scarlett had to make sure she's not going anywhere tonight and that she didn't have to prepare anything for dinner.

"Yeah, sure."

"All set. She's not going anywhere." Should I go get her now? Scarlett said.

"Didn't you say later?" Dean reacted. Then everyone laughed.

"Guys. Hear ye." Darren asked for their attention. "I have to be honest with you guys." He continued.

"Is something the matter?" Scarlett asked as if she didn't know anything that's going on between him and Klairee.

"Well, I'm not sure if you already knew but I like Klairee and I already told her about it." Everyone was shocked except for Scarlett who just pretended to be. "The thing is,"

"The thing is... your ex girlfriend." Scarlett wasn't able to control herself.

"You knew, right, I pressume you already knew Scarlett. And that's good because I can be open to you guys about my intentions to Klairee."

"What's going on? How come we have no knowledge about all these?" Jag murmured.

"Yeah, I didn't realize something's going on here. So are you guys something now?" Dean asked.

"I told her I like her but I'm feeling so guilty about what Kaye did." Darren uttered.

"Why what about Kaye?" Dean asked.

"Oh, the scene she made on stage?" Jag was a bit confused.

"Yeah plus another scene in the library. I'm supposed to meet Klairee in the library but Kaye grabbed me out just when I entered the door. And Klairee saw everything.

I went to say sorry but she just cried. What should I do."

"I promised Klairee that I'll keep this but I guess you should know Darren. Klairee liked you since day one. But she hesitated when she knew that you're already a professor." Scarlett confessed.

"Seriously? She's too good at hiding. I really can't tell."

"What do we do now."

What's your plan?"

"I'm planning on asking her to go out with me."

"When, now?"

"Yeah. Before it's too late. I know she's leaving soon for the hospital duty."

"Should I go get her now?" Scarlett said.

"Yeah."

Scarlett went to fetch Klairee who's innocent about what's going on in the pool.

"Hey, what have you been doing since I called you?" Scarlett asked Klairee when she entered her unit.

"Darren texted me if we could meet up. I said I'm having dinner with you but he said you can tag along."

"Hey, are you two together now?"

"Hey, no. I should have told you if that's true. But..."

"But what... you like him right?"
