ALL BEHIND IT

Chapter Four

Lucy -
It had been two weeks already and I had started to adapt to my new self. Things were smooth enough, Taylor and I got along pretty well, I carried out my missions successfully except for the fact that Jayden still got on my nerves in various ways and I still had a big puzzle to solve in my mind. This puzzle was the picture of someone I really needed to find, who I needed to ask a lot of questions, who I needed by my side and this person was...

A goth barged in, interrupting my thoughts, it seemed like she was mad at me "the master is requesting for your presence now, you're late" she walked out.

I didn't realize I was late for training, I kept the photograph back, adjusted my clothing and headed to the training room.

Taylor -
It had been a few weeks of being Lucy's friend and it had been good. Even though I didn't know much about her like I wanted to, but it was still a matter of time. She sat beside me in class and we were talking when our history teacher, Mrs Martin walked in with a young guy.

"Settle down everyone, I have an announcement to make" she said. The entire class was silent and calm particularly Lucy; I observed the change in her expression when the guy came in with Mrs Martin. There was no doubt that he was good looking but it would sound so weird if Lucy had a crush on him, her focus on him felt so strange and she didn't take her eyes off.

"There's a new student who would be part of this class" Mrs Martin continued
"please, introduce yourself to the class" she gestured to him

He stepped forward "I'm Jordan, Jordan wolf, I have nothing much to say about myself. Anyways, I look forward to being a part of this class. Thank you" he said.

He walked up to an empty seat and sat. I had this feeling that his presence meant something different.

Lucy -
Seeing Jordan again was so shocking. I never thought I would see him again. He didn't change a bit and still had his bossy and sassy attitude. We weren't together for long but we definitely had so much fun in juvi when we broke many rules. It actually felt good seeing him again.

I heard the last bell- school was over. I did think Jordan didn't notice me because of my new look until he walked past my table dropping a note; I turned over the note and read:

* I'll be waiting, you know where to find me* 

I smirked, just like old times when we met at the rooftop to talk about stuff we did. Taylor walked up to my seat and I quickly hid the  note, I could see the suspicion in her eyes and I immediately felt guilty because I was hiding a lot of things from her and I knew how hurt she felt but it just had to be.

"What's up" she said "anything?"

"No, there's nothing"

"Can we go now?" she shrugged.

"I'm sorry but I've got something to attend to, I'll see you tomorrow "I pursed my lips and got up from my seat, holding my books.

"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow" Taylor said with disappointment clear in her voice. I was sorry for her but there was nothing I could do.

Taylor -
I couldn't keep my suspicion and curiosity in any longer, I was tired of the way she kept things way from me, then, I had no choice but to follow her, she became way too suspicious. I stood behind a couple of lockers watching her, I was sure she didn't catch a glimpse of me, not with the way I hid. She began to walk swiftly and fearlessly in the way- this I admired about her.

I began to follow her in the most unnoticeable way I could. Soon, she began walking in an almost strange route. It didn't seem so strange because it was part of the school but it was just unusual for anyone to walk in that route. Lucy stopped in front of a door which had a sign that indicated it lead to the stairs. I almost started to fear that she had sensed that I followed her but I didn't hesitate. She looked sideways, sighed, opened the door and walked in. I waited a while before walking in to prevent her from sensing me.
