Double Star.

12: Legacy.

PoV Sarah:

The next day, I prepared myself and left the house quickly. My aunt was still sleeping which made me a little bit relieved since I didn't want to cross her and feel guilty about hiding from her the key I found on my bed, yesterday. I'm still wondering what can I do with it though and why my father's name is engraved on it.

As I walked into the institution, Noelle called me to join her.

-" Hi ! ".

-" Hey ! Have you seen how all these people are looking at me? ". I looked around and I noticed that a lot of students were staring at us.

- "Oh I knew it was going to be like this! ". She said, with a tremulous voice.

"It's okay, you can ignore them ...". I tried to calm her then suddenly someone patted Noelle's shoulder. Our surprise was great when we discovered that this person is none other than the captain of the rugby team ''Tommy Cross''.

-" Hey ! ". He gave us a charming glance and Noelle and I looked at each other at the same time, surprised by this sudden introduction.

- "Euh ... hello". Noelle replied with a shy voice.

- "You really impressed us yesterday ! I never thought anyone could face the great Taylor !".

- "Oh thank you ! I surprised myself too". She said putting her hand on her neck and looking elsewhere.

- "Will you accept to go out with me, this Sunday ? ". He seemed as embarrassed as her.

-" You and me ? ". He nodded, she looked really surprised and I hit her elbow to make her come back to reality.

- "Y...Yes of course! It would be really amazing to go out with you! Well...when I say go out, it doesn't necessarily mean going out like lovers, we can go out like good friends or just classmates or something like that ...". He frowned sign of incomprehension and I had to intervene to save the situation.

- "What she wants to say is that she'll be very happy to go out with you this Sunday, right Noelle ?".

-" Yes, yes that's it ! ". She nodded and smiled at him, shyly.

- "Good then, see you next time". He walked away while greeting us.

- "I didn't know you had a crush on him!". I asked when he was far from us.

-" Me too". She said placing a lock of hair behind her ear and I gave her a sly look.

- "Okay I admit, I fell in love with him since primary school". She said all excited.

-" You kept it for yourself all this time ? ". I asked surprised.

- "Yeah, at the same time, when you were wearing a dental appliance and your mother was calling you my big petty bear, I don't think I could've done something ". She rolled her eyes and I started laughing while heading to our class.

When we joined our class, the same strange looks welcomed us, some persons were impressed by the way Noelle managed to face Taylor and Britney and shared their approval with her, others preferred to stay in their dark contemplation. Ashley was sitting in her usual place, typing away on her phone.

- "Ashley? ". She raised her head suddenly at the sound of my voice. Her stare seemed vacant and...lost?

-" You're okay ? ". She shook her head to wake up and looked at me surprised.

- "Oh yes, everything is fine, I was just looking at something on my phone". She turned off her phone and put it in her pocket quickly.

- "Are you sure ? cause it looks like you haven't slept in days? ". Asked Noelle, worried.
