CHILD OF PROPHESY

CHAPTER 2

Drake had been avoiding Elvine's gaze for a while and started doing the thing she hated most, he was looking at Ana who was smiling at a girl in the door way.

"Why don't you try and talk to her?" Elvine advised.
"Who? What are you talking about?" Drake asked.
"Do you think people are blind? Every now and then you are watching her and we also see you."
"I asked whom you are talking about so according to what you said I think you are not Ok, have a drink." He said handing her a bottle of water.
She drunk and handed the bottle back.
"Now you can believe what I say? Ana is my sister first of all and you are my friend aren't you?"
Drake was now ready to hear Elvine since she was Ana's sister and he could use her to reach Ana.
"Um, so what makes you bring that?"
""I think you can go and first befriend her just normally then after you are friends you can confess one day. I think you should start before others start, don't wait for the right time other than this and good luck."
"Are you sure that's the best way?"
"Yes! I know her, she is my sister remember."
"Okay thanks and I think you're a good friend." He said as he took off.

Drake's POV

I thought that Elvine loves me but it seemed to be a misunderstanding. I surely will since she is Ana's sister then she knows what she likes. Good! Finally I'll be dating Ana the queen of my heart.

But how will I start a conversation? Do I look smart today? I should impress her to gain her attention.

Time went until we went for lunch and ate then came back. I was fast to get time to talk to Ana.
I went and sat near her chair and waited for her to come.

"What brings Mr. Drake here?" She asked reaching out for her bag to keep her handkerchief.
"Hope it's not disturbing you."
"It will depend on what brought you for the first time to see me but I wish it is not. So what is it?"
"You seem to be so curious but I just wanted to ask if you would allow a talk after classes."
"I finish studying going home right away, so I don't think I would allow that." She said leaving.
"No! Please don't leave just like that, I can take you home but please help her." I pleaded with her.
"Who?" She asked as she came back.
"It's my sister but I can explain later, she needs someone to talk to and she doesn't want to tell us her problem."
"Oh! I think you can get many others, this is our first conversation, how do you know that I am the one she would prefer to talk to?" She asked looking seriously through my eyes for a serious response.
"I believe that what one thinks may be expressed by actions and I trust you to be the right person for her." I said after a while of silence and exchanging glances at each other.
"Okay then I won't betray your trust, I will first go home and we will meet here at the gate after two hours then I can come with you." She promised.
"Thanks! I knew that you can't deny helping people and she will be happy to meet you." I said standing up to leave.
"Drake, thanks for trusting me." Ana said before I left, I looked at her and smiled gently as she smiled back driving me crazy.

Yes!!! I've impressed her this time. I am looking forward to seeing her soon. I went to see Sam where he was waiting from.

"Did she accept?"
"Of course, Sam , she would not deny." I said with pride.
"Drake promise that you aren't playing with Ana's heart coz you know I can kill you with my bare hands if you try."
"I think you are the one who knows how much I love her. Do you think I can misuse this chance?"
"Ok, you know that one unserious idea will grab her from you and many here are waiting I inclusive!"
"I'll be careful bro, if I fail you are free to try and we still be friends for life."
"I like that speech bro, let's go and have some fresh air." Sam said heading outside.
