"Really" he says and smiles.
"But before you tell me what she has to say, there is something that I would like to say as well" he says again.
"Yes" is all I say.
"I really like your friend" he says blushing.
"She is the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I was drawn to her the first time I saw her and I have liked her ever since." he says his eyes twinkling.
I am left wordless because I hadn't expected Alvin to confess about his feelings before I could convey Scarlette's message.
"She likes you as well" I say finally.
"Wow" he says beaming.
"Do you think I should propose her?" he asks.
"If you like each other, then I think you shouldn't delay" I reply smiling at him.
"Tomorrow then?" he asks again.
"Okay, I will help you" I reply.
We walk towards our class discussing about how to surprise Scarlette. As we walk towards our class, Cedric is standing near the door. Even when I look at him today, my heart flutters. I think the way his appearance charmed me three years ago hasn't changed at all.
He is tall with slender body. He has chocolate brown hair which is a bit long. He has got pure hazel colored eyes which are really beautiful. He has medium complexion and square jawed face. He is really good looking and I think any girl would fall for him.
He notices us approaching and walks towards us.
"Hi Charlotte" he says smiling at me.
"Hi Cedric, how are you feeling?" I say and ask at the same time.
"Better" he says smiling again.
Alvin and Cedric shake hands. We walk in together. I introduce Cedric to Adele and he smiles at her.
During lunch hour all four of us sit together. I miss Scarlette presence and I believe Alvin is feeling the same. The bell rings and all of us walk towards our class. Cedric walks beside me and we discuss about English literature's assignment. I tell him that I will send him a picture of my work.
Cedric and Alvin sit together and they seem to be busy discussing about their favorite football team. I feel happy seeing Cedric talking to Alvin. Even at school, he was friendly and had many friends but was always soft spoken.
The class goes smoothly and the final bell rings and I pack my bag and get up to leave.
"Charlotte can I talk to you?" Alvin asks.
"Yes, sure" I reply and walk out of the class.
"Please don't tell Scarlette about tomorrow's surprise" he says.
"Don't worry, I won't tell her anything" I say smiling.
"What does she like?" he asks.
"Well, she is not too much into big expensive gifts. A small thing would make her happy" I reply.
"Give her something unique" I say again.
"Okay. Thank you" he says smiling.
We walk back where Cedric and Adele are waiting for us. All four of us walk together to the parking lot.
"Bye, see you tomorrow" Adele says walking towards her car.
"Bye Charlotte" Alvin says smiling at me and shakes hand with Cedric and walks towards his car.
"Bye Cedric and I'll send my work's picture" I say.
"Thank you. Bye" he says returning my smile and we both get into our cars and drive out of the parking lot.
