CLOAKED Lust

3 | Worst Nightmare No.1

Upper Lake High School – Kayla's class Block!

"Hello... guys, are you two okay!?" Esme's had yelled out loud after some seconds of calling but we weren't responding. It's like my eyes and his were glued together, we couldn't look away. And for some reason, we couldn't respond to anyone who was asking for a way in class or maybe anyone who was trying to call us, like Esme.

"Guys, come on... you're making a scene!" she yelled again. And that, made me look away and stand upright as quick as I could.

"Hey, Esme... what's up?" I said.

"You tell me, what's up? You two have been staring at each other for like a month... do you care to explain!?" she placed her hand on her waist.

"Oh... it's nothing. The guy had just knocked me when trying to get in class, and he made my books fall. So he was trying to pick them up for me."

"It's more than you knocked me... you weren't even watching where you were going!" he interrupted.

"Okay... whatever, who cares! So, I'm glad I just met the two people I was so madly looking for. And by the way, are you okay now Kayla?" Esme asked.

"Wait, what is going on? Are you okay? What happened?" He added up a bunch of questions.

"Oh, you remember my bestie news I gave you about yesterday?" Esme asked him.

"Yeah, you told me, your best friend was taken to the nurse's office..."

"Well, she's the bestie!" she clarified while pointing on me.

"Oh... so, you two are best friends?"

"More like, the best of the best, best friends ever!" Esme replied.

"Oh really! I guess someone had the best friend spirit going on with someone else all that time..." he mocked.

"Excuse me!" Esme got confused by his saying.

"You know what, don't mind him. He doesn't even know about our crazy bond yet, so... just don't mind his words!" I tried to get her confused vibe out of the way.

"You guys okay!?" Tristan spoke from behind me.

"Tristan!" I yelled his name while turning around to stare at him.

"Hey babe!" he said.

What! Oh my God, don't you see Nathaniel standing just beside me? You can't just go around calling me babe. Oh no, this can't be happening, I wonder what will Nathaniel be thinking in his brain, right now!

"Hey, Tristan. You okay?" I replied.

"I should be the one to ask you!" he threw back the ball.

"Well, Tristan... I met these two birds staring at each other, and I had to pull them out of their daydream they were having on each other!" Esme had interfered.

"What!" Tristan was partially shocked by the info.

"Don't mind her!" I used the sign language to communicate with Tristan when Esme wasn't looking.

"And, before I forget... I should give the two a proper introduction!" Esme continued.

"Well, Kayla, this is Nathaniel Knight... the new boy I told you about!" she stopped for a sec.

"And, Nathaniel, this is Kayla Reyes... my one and only best friend."

"Nice to know you, miss Reyes!" Nathaniel had offered me a handshake.

Wait a minute, what is he doing? He's right now playing a not knowing me, game! He's offering me a handshake like it's the first day we've met, and I wonder why he isn't saying that we used to know each other back in the days. But all in all, I'm going to play along with his game!
