Love's a Paradox

Fate

A gush of wind blew making, her coffee colored hair flutter to the air. Her bored expression seems so out of place with the lively people around. Checking her watch every five seconds, she look around in search for something or rather someone, "Kaye!!!" a voice called from behind. Turning around she saw a girl who is slightly shorter than her "You're late," Kaye yelled exasperated, "I've been waiting for like an hour Marissa Concepcion."

"Just because I'm late you call me that anyway sorry. Our prof chose a wrong day for an overtime," Mar explained. "Yeah yeah, let's just go we won't be able to catch the office if we slack," Kaye muttered pulling her friend towards the subway station.

Waiting for the train to arrive the two girls talk all the while looking around, "Oh my gosh just what is he doing here?" Kaye was wide eyed at the sight of the 6'6" giant. "Who?" Marissa asked hearing her friend gasped. Kaye nodded to the direction she's facing, as an answer to her question, "You know him?" the taller of the two asked. "Seems familiar," the shorter answered, "I think I've seen him somewhere." "Lorenzo Aldrich, he's our batch mate from St. Pius," Kaye told her.

💘You lift my heart up when the rest of me is down  💘

Shaking her head, Kaye dismissed the topic as if on cue the train arrived. The sliding doors opened and the passengers came swarming for the ride.

"Allie, have you seen Kyle?" Kaye asked the tanned girl in front of her. "Maybe he's outside," Allie answered pointing at the gate near them. Still looking around the brown haired 13 yr old saw the guy she's been looking for, "There he is," she said squeezing herself with the crowd of students. Walking fast to catch up with Kyle her arms sway in sync with her legs. Passing by two students her hand was caught by something, pulling her back. She look back to see what was on her hand and into Kaye's surprise it's a hand holding hers. Eyeing the hand then the one holding her, the expression on both her and his face were stoic. After five long seconds they both let go at the same time and went back to their own lives, "Weird," she thought out loud.

"Let's go," the brown haired 17yr old instructed the girl with her. Inside the train the two girls stand near the door chatting about random things whilst Kaye would take a quick glance to the guy standing in front of them, as she could feel his stares.

💘You, you enchant me even when you're not around  💘

'Keep calm' Kaye repeated in her head, trying her best not to let a nerve slip. 10 minutes they've arrived at their stop. Taking a quick glance at their watch, the two ladies up their pace.

Half an hour more and the school is close for the day. The subway is 15 minute bus ride away and it's almost peak hour. Luckily the two managed to snatch a ride from the first bus that stopped though it's a stand-in again. By the corner of her eye Kaye caught a glance of his observant gazes. 10 minutes before 4 pm the ladies arrived at St. Peter Catholic School, just a little later and the office of the school would be close.

The former students of SPCS entered the familiar gates of the said institutions, greeting the guards as they did. Running towards the press office, Kaye first peeked on the small window of the office to see if anyone is there. With a smile on her face, the brown haired teen urged her friend that they go in. "Ma'am, good afternoon," they greeted. Hearing an added voice, Vim and Kaye looked behind them and saw Kobe standing there. "Oh. Kaye long time no see!" the person in there smiled at the presence of the former students which pulled Kaye's attention back. "So true miss," she cheered, "by the way ma'am how are you?"
