THE SCHOOL FILES

chapter 12: I love you

Akeelah's pov

"oh my gosh! did he really do that?!" Alice squealed from excitement.

"yah! be quiet! "

"they may hear us!" I warned her because the professor is looking at us.

"sorry sir" I cleared my trout and sat still.

"okay class that's all for our class today, make sure you study for the upcoming exam this week, okay God bless, byee!" our professor bid good bye to us then left, I remember I have to buy things for my new condo since I already moved there.

As I was about to go out, Alice pulled my arm " are you going shopping?" she asked.

"yeah! wanna come?" 

"sure!" she replied shortly and pulled me out of the classroom.

On our way out we saw Cyryll and Preston talking at the parking lot.  I thought Cyryll was absent today. Why is he here?! "Cy!" I shouted to get his attention. They walked towards us  to great us.

"I thought you were absent today?" 

"yeah, I just have to fix family matters!" he gave a bitter smile. I notice he's unusual gestures.

"where are you going both?" Preston asked.

"were gonna buy things for my new condo!" 

"umm...Preston can you come with them? I have to fix something here" Cyryll suggested.

"Sorry but I have to run some errands dude" Preston said with pitty.

"no it's okay I have Alice to help me!" 

"yah! Cyryll stop being so paranoid!" Alice teased.

"tsk! btw Akeelah, Lincoln will send the footage later  on your email" He winked and left with Preston. But their is something wrong going on, I feel like Cyryll isn't telling something.

__few hours later__

We bought some stuff we need and I already arranged the stuffs on their proper places. I sat on my coach beside Alice, who is ready something.

"you already studying for the exam?" I placed the snacks on the coffee table. "I'm just reading some articles about  some cases" her eyes still focused on what's she reading.

I turned the television on so it won't be so quiet. I spent few hours watching netflix and Alice  already went home. I felt hungry so I grabbed my phone to order some food since I don't want to  cook food.

As I  was about to to open my phone I heard someone knock on my door. I opened the door and I saw  Cyryll standing and holding a paper bag on his left hand.

"why are  you here?" I asked him.

"I missed you" he smiled.

"and what's that?" I asked pointing at  his paper bag. "It's food!" He placed the food on the table counter.

"you have a pretty comfy condo" he chuckles.

I sat at the stool to start but I can't help but notice his gloomy face. Is he hiding something to me?  

"are you okay?" I asked sincerely.

"of-course I am!" he gave me that bitter smile again.

"no your not!" I stared at his eyes "please don't lie, if their is something just tell me"

"I just don't you want to worry about me" he placed his hands on my cheeks, cupping it. After we ate I washed the dishes, I walked in the living room, seeing him sleeping on the coach. I think he is tired. It hurts me seeing him hiding his own thought to himself.
