THE OLD ME BACK

Chapter 19

"Listen, class! I know you're not familiar with this so pay attention!"

The room became so silent. No one dared to talk even just a whisper. Even the most noisy classmate we had could not utter a single word.

Our Science teacher spoke many things about the lesson we're not interested. However, because he was so terror, even though I felt bored and sleepy, I really needed to be awake during our session with him. I could not stand if ever he mentioned my name because I fell asleep in his class.

Ugh. I got to shake my head to clear out the sleepiness in me.

"Since we're already done with this, now let's go here."

While our teacher was speaking and giving his best to be heard and understood, I suddenly looked at the other row where the members of Boylight were sitting. Their eyes were on our teacher, as if they were really listening. They were as if innocent children who were forced to listen to the folktales told by the grandmother. That was something to be laughed about, but I needed to be serious because the silence in here dominated. I was not actually used to find them out so silent, because they had naughtiness in their own ways.

"Let's call it a day! Goodbye!"

During our break time, I waited the Boylight to be all out of the room before I got out, too. I wanted to follow them to see if they would go to the food court or they would eat their lunch in their exclusive room. While I was behind them, many greetings and shouts were heard along the corridor because of them. They were really famous.

"OMG! The Boylight my loves!"

Some even took a picture on them, few distance apart I just saw them waving their hands to our fellow students at the second floor.

I bowed my head when someone noticed me and directly hurried my steps. Due to making my steps faster, I accidentally bumped into someone and he was surprised when he saw me.

"Alesha? Oh no, you must be Alesha!"

What he did next was to hug me that all passersby were able to notice me too. They waved their hands and others shouted out my name.

My gosh! What would I do then if the Boylight knew I was following them? I didn't usually go this way. My eyes quickly darted on them. I felt relieved when I saw them still walking towards the leisure room.

"I have to go. I'm sorry," I uttered after I let go from his embrace, then I walked out from where I got stuck.

I ran towards the boy group, and I was lucky enough that they already got in their exclusive room.

Sighing deeply, I leaned on the wall beside the opened door and calmed myself.

I almost got caught. Good thing they didn't mind the shouts and yells a while ago.

Daring myself to look inside, I glimpsed for a while and I saw them doing their warm-ups. They were used to doing that before practicing their dance steps. I darted my eyes to Hanky, then to Tyler afterwards. What Thea dared me to do popped in my mind very sudden.

Still standing for how many minutes while I felt the sweats on my forehead, I saw three girls walking towards the leisure room. They didn't notice me right away because I turned behind. No way they should recognize me at this place because my plan would fail.

As I tried to catch sight from these girls, I caught them taking pictures inside. I didn't know who they were capturing photos, but I did not care anymore if that would be Hanky. By that, I was able to remember how much I chased Hanky back then. The last time I did what these girls did was when he caught me standing here too beside the door before I confessed my feelings to him.

I was thinking at this very moment that these girls might help me in my plan, so I approached them. They were terrified and shocked when they saw me.

"I would report this to them. Do you want?!" Then I took their DSLR.

All of them shook and frightened.

"No, please. We're begging you, Alesha. We know you're so much kind person."

I just grinned when I gave back the DSLR to her.

"Ok, we can settle this. Can you do me a favor?" Quickly, they nodded. "I assume you already knew Tyler."

"Yes we know him! Is that the one who has crush on you, right?"

I changed the flow of conversation as I heaved a sigh.

"Can you call him out right now?"

They all exchanged glances to each other as if they could not really believe of my favor.

"But we can't do that, Alesha. It's such a big deal."

"Report or favor?"

They gulped and sighed.

"What's next after we call him out?" The other girl asked after a moment of silence.

"You will all run away. Just leave Tyler to me if he will go out," I almost whisper, just to make sure that the Boylight would not hear us.

"Got it."

They succeeded doing my favor when the music was stopped inside. Right away, these girls ran away with loud yells. I heard the murmurs of other Boylight members but good thing Tyler said to them that they could continue their rehearsal while he's out of the room.

I must be ready on this.

"Oh Alesha!" He exclaimed when he saw me, but I put my finger on my lips right away in order for him not to shout. With that, he cleared his throat then.

"Hmm...are you the one who called me a while ago?"

"Yes, baby," I seductively answered, and I grabbed his arm and pushed him on the wall.

Not included this in my plan but I winked at him and caressed his chest. I saw him gulped for what I did.

"Alesha, stop this. Look what you are doing now."

I chose not to reply but still caressed his chest. I caressed him like he's really my property. After a while, I tapped him on his chest and got my face closer to his. Because of this, I clearly heard his successive deep sighs. He must be really nervous in this way.

"Alesha, please."

By staring at him closely, I suddenly smirked.

"Do you like me, right?"

He gulped again, and I caught him laying his glance on my lips.

"I'm actually liking you back, Tyler. Starting today, you are now mine."

"W-what? But how about---"

"No but's and what if's, Tyler. Don't you want me?"

"Since Grade 8 Alesha, I have crush on you. It's been 3 years. You could not blame me why I like you. I want you, Alesha. I really do."

"What's this?" Both of us looked at the one who spoke all of a sudden.

It's Hanky, standing furious. To his surprise, I kissed Tyler in his lips in front of him. Then I faced on Hanky afterwards.

"Crap! How could you do that?!" He unbelievably asked.

"Do you think I can't? Sorry not sorry, but would it be too much if we would put this now to an end?"
