Ten
Alrisha's POV -
The next day, TGIF! TGIF! Thank God It was Friday! Well, today would be my first report in Biology. It was my first day to show off when it came to reporting. I would give them the best report they never had. And to begin the day, I was wearing my big sweet smile.
Elaina went out first to avoid being late for Music class. You know, Mr. Parker was very strict when you were late. He would never allow you to attend his class when you were late.
And I was heading now to the girls' locker room to drop my laptop. I would just bring this after Spanish class. Spanish class was my first subject and Biology class followed.
When I made it to the girls' locker room, I wondered why there were so many boys. Talking and laughing.
My eyebrows met. I stepped backward and glanced at the room tag. It was the girls' locker room, so I didn't mind it.
I was about to go to my locker when Dwayne suddenly stood in my way. So I sharply stared at him.
"What are you doing here?" Dwayne asked.
"That's my line. I must be the one who's asking that," I replied.
He chuckled. He didn't look funny at all.
"Now get out of my way." I stepped forward and he again obstructed my way.
"Why should I?" He continued.
"Move." I pushed him and he stepped backward. I hurriedly went to my locker. It seemed that there were no girls here, only boys. And they were all looking at me.
Is there something on my face?
When I made it to my locker, I wondered why my key didn't match the lock.
Is this really the girls' locker room? Now I have my doubts.
"Hey Alrisha, what are you doing in the boys' locker room?"
I heard someone call my name, I turned around and found Jomaico leaning on the wall.
"Excuse me?" My brows furrowed.
"It's the boys' locker room. Can't you read?" Jomaico mocked.
"Very funny," I replied.
"It's not a joke. Why don't you look and read the room tag?" He stated.
"I already did that before I entered and it's the girls' locker room," I responded.
"If it's really the girls' locker room, why are only boys here? And it seems that there were no girls," He explained.
That thing also bothered me. To check it out, I went back outside to read the room tag.
WHAT!? it was the boys' locker room!?
"I'm very sure, when I read it before, it's the girls' locker room," I mumbled.
"What are you mumbling at?" Dwayne asked with a smile.
My face slowly turned red as I glared at him.
"It's really obvious that you're freshmen. Because if you are already familiar with this big campus, from the location itself, you can easily know that this is the boys' locker room," Dwayne stated.
"Shut up!" I yelled and ran away.
Now my day is all ruined!
I kept on running, with a red face while looking to the ground. This was so embarrassing. I couldn't believe I went to the boys locker room. Now my day was all ruined.
Until I bump into someone and fall on the floor.
That hurts...
"Need some help?" a male voice spoke and lent me his hand.
"Oh, thanks," I said as I grabbed his hand and stood, "I'm really sorry. I didn't watch..." My eyes turned big.
It was Dwayne!
"What now!? You can't fool me anymore!" I snapped.
He was puzzled, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't try to play innocent, Dwayne. You'll be paying for this," I said and left.
I walked angrily and went to my Spanish class with a red face.
But wait...
When I arrived, I stopped and leaned on the wall, beside the door.
Something bothered me.
That was it. The moment I saw Dwayne... How could he be there so fast?
As I had remembered, I left first from the locker room before him. And that hallway was leading to Spanish classrooms.
Maybe, he also had a Spanish class. But still, it was pretty odd. Room 1A for the Spanish class is approximately 300 cm away from the boys' locker room.
And from the boys' locker room, two hallways were going to the elevator. Aside from the hallway where we accidentally bumped into each other, the other one was the hallway going to the girls' locker room which was next to Spanish room 1Z.
Before you arrived at room 1Z, you passed to the storage room first then to the girls' locker room.
Since my Spanish class was room 2C, on the 2nd floor, I needed to use the elevator which was in front of room 1H. Going there, I passed through the hallway going to room 1A, running.
Even if he ran, we might hit somewhere in front of the elevator, but we bumped in the middle of the boys' locker room and room 1A.
Wasn't it so fast for him?
Even if he followed me, he couldn't predict which hallway I would pass. But if he did, He should just pass me by or hit my back if he wanted me to fall to the ground, but we accidentally hit each other face to face.
That was odd and it bothered me so much.
Nah. Maybe I was just running so fast and didn't notice what happened.
Just forget about it and focus on the class.
Kieffer's POV-
It was already lunch break and my company and I were now heading to the cafeteria to have some lunch.
And Alrisha's report? I ruined it, of course. She needed to report the same topic again on Monday.
How poor she really was.
And same in the Spanish class, I also made some small and funny things that made her very embarrassed.
Oh, I saw someone, and it was heading on our way.
I knew this person.....
"Look what we have here," I said smiling as I stopped walking and stared at that person.
And Dwayne and Mico suddenly bumped on my back.
"Ouch," They both mumbled.
"Why did you suddenly stop?" Mico asked.
"I saw someone. Someone we really know," I answered.
"And who?" Mico asked.
"A hot and sexy chick?" Dwayne said.
"Not that," I said as I glared at them, "Just look," And I looked at that person.
"Dwight!?" Mico and Dwayne both blurted out.
And now, that person whom I was talking about is in our front. It was Dwight, Dwayne's twin brother.
"Is this a reunion of 4 kings?" Dwight said smiling.
"Technically, it's 3 kings only," Dwayne replied emphasizing the word 'only'.
Dwight smirked, "Didn't you even miss me after 3 years?"
"I didn't and no one even misses you." Dwayne sarcastically said.
"What's with that cold attitude, bro? I came here all the way from London and you'll welcome me with that attitude?" He replied as he raised his shoulders.
"You're just wasting your time here. Pack your things now and go back to London," Dwayne stated in a harsh tone.
"Hey now, Dwayne. Don't be rude," Mico interrupted.
"Be rude? For what?" Dwayne responded..
"Okay, that's enough," I butted in before it would end up in a quarrel, "When did you come back here, Dwight?"
"The day before yesterday," Dwight answered.
"And what brings you here?" I asked.
"I just wanted to see someone after 2 years," Dwight replied.
Mico raised his eyebrows. "Is it Alrisha Mcrae?"
"It's not her," He immediately answered.
"She's really tough and she always has the nerve to fight back," Mico described.
"That's her. And speaking of her, we met earlier, while I was on my way to the boys' locker room. She seemed very angry at me," He said as he glanced at Dwayne.
I was puzzled, "at you?"
"Yea. cause she mistook me as Dwayne," He immediately answered.
"Where did you meet her?"
"At the boys' locker room hallway."
And I glance at Dwayne and Mico with a sarcastic smile, "Did something happen that I didn't know?"
"It's just a little game," Dwayne answered.
"By fooling her that the boys' locker room is the girls'," Mico added.
"I see. Be ready, the payment is coming." Dwight said.
"Shut up," Dwayne replied.
He shrugged, "Then I'll go ahead."
"Won't join us?" I asked.
"Maybe next time," He replied as he left.
"You know, dude, I don't trust him," I said when Dwight is totally gone.
"You never trust him ever since, Kieffer," Mico said.
"Even I," Dwayne added.
I gave them a fake smile, "He's lying."
"He won't come here just because of seeing someone," Dwayne stated.
"Then what's he coming here for?" Mico asked.
"No one knows but surely it's nothing good," Dwayne answered back.
"Give it a break. dude. I'm starving," I said as I walked ahead of them going to the cafeteria.
Alrisha's POV-
I went back to my dormitory in a big rush because I forgot to bring my P.E. uniform. Since it's Friday, my first class in the afternoon is P.E.
I ran and walked while going just to be fast. I needed to recover from my failures this early morning because of these 3 kings, as usual.
When I was almost near my dormitory, I saw a guy leaning against the wall beside the door of my dormitory. He seemed to be waiting for someone. And the guy looked so familiar.
I stopped walking for a minute and slowly walked to him while staring at his face.
"Hey," He said when he noticed me in front of him.
Is this Dwayne?
"Dwayne!? What the hell are you doing here!?" I said, making my voice loud.
"Relax, I'm not Dwayne," He responsed.
"Will you just go and buy someone to talk to?" I said as I opened the door and entered. And when I was about to close the door, he blocked the door with his foot.
"Don't be sarcastic, twinkle. I came here all the way from London just to talk and see you," He swallowed, "I came here for peace."
I was stunned and I stared at his eyes. His eyes were full of sincerity and he was really serious like he meant it.
How on earth did he know about twinkle? Only Dwight called me that. I glanced at his left arm and found a scar...
This guy... Is it really.....
"When you left London, we didn't talk even on the phone. And you didn't even tell me that you're leaving," He continued while I was speechless, "All I know is, you're gone and I have to search the whole world to find you. And after 2 years of searching, I finally found you."
I was speechless. I didn't know how to react and I didn't know what to say. No words were coming out of my mouth.
And it took me a few minutes before I could open my mouth.
"Dwight? Is that really you?" I incredulously asked.
"Yea, it's me," He paused for a minute and continued. "Please, twinkle. Give me a chance to talk."
I bit my lower lip. I used to do that when holding back emotions, "Did I forget to tell you not to show me your face again?"
"You did tell me but I can't stand it." He replied, "I... I....."
"What?" Say it, Dwight. I'm listening.
He looked to the ground then looked into my eyes. "I..... I..... Still love you."
Damn it! After 2 years? He still loved me? He got to be kidding me.
"Leave me alone!" I yelled and angrily shut the door and locked it. I leaned against the door and covered my ears using my hands.
I still heard him knocking on the door while calling me, "Twinkle, please... Let me explain my part. Please, twinkle... I beg you."
"Just go!" I shouted.
I heard the knocking suddenly stopped.
"I won't get tired of asking for your forgiveness, twinkle," He replied and I heard footsteps slowly walking away.
Finally, he's gone.
Why did he come here? For what? Just to talk with me? That was bullshit! He wouldn't spend 2 years just for that reason.
I knew there was something. I knew him, he wouldn't do a thing without a reason.
Oh, my sweet angel! What the crap was going on?
