Spark Of Love (On-Hold)

Chapter 23: Help Find Aerin

FLINN'S POINT OF VIEW

"Winter?" I asked unbelievably as I looked at the woman who's her back is facing me. I went near her and touched her shoulder. "Winter?"

I was disappointed when the woman faced me and it wasn't Winter. "Need help?" the woman asked.

I shook my head as I removed my hand from her shoulder. "I'm sorry," I bowed before I went out of the room.

I really thought that was Winter. Maybe, because their body just looks like the same. I sighed and shook my head before I went to the junior high school building.

I started to search for her on the first floor up to the fifth floor, but she wasn't there. I got my phone when I remembered that I texted her earlier, but I didn't still got respond from her.

I went to all floors of the junior high school again and when I didn't found her, I just went back to where Louiegie said we will see each other if we didn't found Winter, to our canteen.

When I arrived, Lauren and Louiegie aren't there yet. I sighed before I sat on one of the tables. I hope that one of them found Winter.

LAUREN'S POINT OF VIEW

"Winter?" I went near Winter.

"What is it, Ma'am?" I was shocked when another woman spoke. I was even more shocked when I realized that the woman I thought was Winter was only a standee. A standee of Winter.

"Why do you have a standee of Winter in Schneider?" I asked the woman who is carrying the standee of Winter and also the woman who spoke a while ago.

"There will be a History quiz bee, Ma'am. Every contestant has a standee and Ma'am Winter Jin Schneider is one of the contestants, Ma'am," she explained.

"Okay. Thank you," I said before I went back to Ryu who's scratching his nape. "Where the hell is Winter, Ryu Kyst Gutowski?! Where?!" I can't help, but to raise my voice to him.

"I'm sorry, Ava. I didn't knew that that was a standee," he looked down. 

I rolled my eyes. "You just really wasted my time, Ryu! Instead of finding her right now, we are here, thinking that the standee of Winter was real!" I shouted. I am about to leave him when he held my arm. "What?" I raised my brow.

"I'm really sorry, Ava. I just really wanted to help you find your friend." He let go of my arm.

"You didn't helped me."

"Sorry."

"You know what, Ryu?" I asked that made him looked at me. "Just go to your brother because I can do this on my own." I left him

I tried to find Winter on the buildings. I was disappointed when I didn't found her. I sighed before I went to our canteen.

LOUIEGIE'S POINT OF VIEW

"Winter?" I asked the familiar woman who entered the coffee shop. I was about to go near her when the woman I'm with spoke.

"Where will you go? And, why did I heard you said 'Winter'?"

I sat first. "I'm sorry. That was my future wife's name." I was startled with what I said. Did I just said that Winter's my future wife? Yeah, it's true, but I'm only saying it to her friends to piss her. I don't want to say it to others because I knew that Winter don't want them to know about it and I respect that.
