Love & Friends

Chapter 12

*Zaira

" I think you should wait until the fake news about you subsided a bit, you shouldn't worry about Christy anymore, she won't do anything else to you, but you better stay at my house, what if one of Christy's assistants come over and see you fresh, healthy, and not dead, they will directly tell Christy and you will be hunted once more, " Anne said.

" Good point, in the meantime I can kinda stalk Ken and Christy's social media, if they changed their status, or posted something new, you know " Zaria said. She tried her best to sound as cheerful as she can be, when really, deep down she was devastated, but she also knew she had Anne, her very supportive best friend.

" Great idea, you never know if they may start dating, but you can always find a time to strike and suddenly pop up on one of their dates, " Anne said. Zaira thought about that possibility, that's a great way to destroy their romantic moment.

The next few days went by okay for Zaira. She just stalked Ken and Christy's social media, sometimes cried because she just lost Ken, her body quality started falling. Sometimes Zaira won't even eat because she has no appetite. She became a lot skinnier.

*Ken

Ken was just walking to class, he was walking cheerfully like he always does. Suddenly,

Christy came running while shouting 'Ken'! Her high heels bumped the floor and made multiple bumping noises but Christy didn't care. She was determined to give Ken the fake newspaper.

" Hi Christy! " Ken said. He smiled.

" Hi Ken, look! " Christy said while panting.

Ken took the newspaper off Christy's hands and read the front page. The more words

Ken read, the more shocked his face turned. His hands were trembling.

" Ken? You okay? I am truly sad for you but this is God's plan, maybe she just isn't the one " Christy said trying to calm Ken, when really this is all fake.

" Yea, I'm okay " Ken said. He plastered a forced smile. Ken is a very positive person.

" Just wanted you to know the news, now let's head to class " Christy said, she held

Ken's hands and this time Ken also held Christy's. Together they marched together to class.

The rest of the days in Princeton went splendid for Ken. He got closer and closer to Christy. She isn't as bad as Ken thought. They study together, eat together, swim together, even on weekends they hang out together. Their social media are now filled with pictures of them together. Just after two weeks, they were already in a relationship.

*Zaira

" Anne, Ken and Christy are dating already, " Zaira said. She looked very sad and actually she is very sad. She took her phone out and showed Anne all the pictures of them together and their new statuses.

" So fast, " Anne commented. " Remember Zaira, this is part of the plan, there's plenty of fish in the sea "

" I guess, " Zaira replied. She felt very sad, but she wanted to see how Ken's face would look like when he finds Zaira alive and mad.

" You have me, let's just wait two more weeks, in the meantime we can have sleepovers all the time and have some girl time, to get your mind off things " Anne said. Zaira nodded confidently. Those few days went by as slow as a turtle, can't things just speed up a bit?

Almost every week Zaira visits the doctor. Her body condition is getting worse and worse everyday. With all the stress, and mixed feelings. But in her heart Zaira kept strong. She wanted to see Ken first before she would go.

After two weeks...

" Okay Anne, it's been a month, what's our plan? " Zaira asked. They were having another sister meeting at Anne's.

" I think we should investigate them a bit, it's the term break, they're probably planning to go somewhere, we go to their destination and surprise them " Anne instructed. That seems like a pretty solid and great plan.

" Okay, you check Christy's social media while I check Ken's, " Zaira said. Both of them opened their phones and started scrolling through Ken and Christy's social media.

" Zaira! I found something! " Anne exclaimed. She showed her phone to Zaira on a specific post. A new one. It was a picture of a train ticket from New York with a destination to Beacon.

" They're going to Beacon for the holiday, " Anne said. " They're leaving tomorrow, that's where we're going then "

Zaira went back to her house and packed her luggage while Anne packed hers. They also booked a plane ticket to Beacon right away. Their plan was in action! After packing, they both rested, tomorrow was going to be a big day.
