I will Love You Forever - Chapter 102

Diana went straight home after she met with Gerard. She was emotionally exhausted and just wanted everything to go back to the way they need to.

Tired, she walked into her room and slumped on the bed. “I wish I could just go to the time before the kidnapping. All this stress is making me older.” she lamented.

Just then, Lucy came into the room with a tray. She had a warm smile on her face as usual and when Diana saw her there, she felt relieved.

“What more could be better than having you around?” Diana asked then chuckled.

“I heard you you came back not too long ago so I brought you some juice.” Lucy placed the cup on the table and held the tray to her stomach.

“What would I do without you?” Diana joked around and took the glass from the table.

She drank the content but noticed paint on Lucy’s hand. “Have you been off painting again?” She asked seemingly knowing Lucy too well.

Lucy looked at her hand and spotted the red paint. She tried to hide it the smiled awkwardly.

“This… This is nail polish.” she lied and Diana smiled then nodded.

“Oh well, I want to take a quick nap. Thanks for the juice.” she takes Lucy and turned he back to Lucy as the staff walked out.

“What? Do we have a test today? I’m not prepared at all.” Kel pulled on her cheek as she spoke.

The test came to everyone as a surprise and almost everyone was unhappy about this surprise test.

I smiled seeing her behave like a child. “If you haven’t read then what would we thy subjects say, Almighty Kel.” I bowed as I said this sarcastically.

“Oh please, snap out of it. You’re the almighty one.” she retorted.

I smiled and placed my arm around her shoulder. “It’s going to go well. After all, this is just a test and we will surely pass.” I assured her and the lecturer walked in.

“Settle down. We will be having the test now. This test isn’t because I want to see how intelligent to are rather, it’s to know how often you study. Oftentimes, we don’t plan events but they happen anyway.” my brow furrowed when I heard what he said. There was something about this man that I couldn’t phantom.

“Oh… Professor, if you continue like this, we would end up dying before the test.” a student complained about the booting introduction and the others supported it as well.

Was I the only one who thought that he wasn’t just talking about the test but something else? I sighed and shrugged.

‘Then again, it might just be about the test.’

The question paper went round and the test soon began. Usually, during tests like this, the lecture would go round to make sure no one was cheating but the lecturer sat at a corner and even had his eyes facing the window.

I stared at the question paper and realized that he had never taught us anything like this. I guessed that it must be from a further level.

I took out my pen and began to write whatever I knew. Although I have been prepping for the contest, I haven’t covered much.

Some students were sleeping already while others were biting their pens and others looking up at the ceiling.

‘This is indeed a test.’ I sighed and finally dropped my pen.

“Time up.” the lecturer turned his gaze back. “Pass your answer sheets to the front, would you?”

After collecting all the sheets, he bid goodbye and walked out of the class leaving all the students in horror.

“Ah… He should have just told us that he intentionally wanted us to fail. What was that speech about unplanned events for anyway?” students groaned and even I couldn’t hide the displeasure on my face.

Someone slumped on the desk in front of me like a frustrated little puppy. Kel looked up at me with tired eyes. “Can we go to the restaurant outside school? I think I need some chicken right now or else I’ll die.” she dragged every work and even placed her hand around her neck when she said the word ‘die.’

I smiled at her childish behaviour and nodded. Even I wanted to have a share in the chicken.

As Ayla and Kel walked out of the hall, someone in a corner watched them closely. And stood up to follow them immediately they left the door.

###

“Ah… This is refreshing. I was about to die of suffocation in that hall.” Kel spoke as she savoured the tasty chicken in front of her.

I chuckled at her words and eat the food in front of me.

“Ah! I’m sorry.” a waitress apologized to a customer she was serving. She had accidentally tripped and poured some juice on a girl who was right opposite us.

The girl was wearing an all-black outfit with a black face cap as well. I squinted my eyes feeling that the girl looked a little familiar but my attention was diverted by Kel who heaved heavily.

I raised a brow. “What? Did something happen?” I asked seeing her lips curved downwards.

“What do you think will happen to us now? I’m pretty sure that I failed the test. Aish…” she squirrelled.

“This is going to take a toll on my GPA. What do I do?” she almost started crying dramatically.

I looked at her confused. I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Why was she behaving so cute today?

I smiled and pinched her nose. “Whether or not you pass, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is you can learn from mistakes and prepare better.” I advised even though my heart was also beating like a drum just by thinking about what the results would look like.

She looked at me mystified then bowed. “Yes, almighty Ayla Gregor. But for now, let me lamented as much as I want.”

I couldn’t help but smile at this act of hers. My eyes subconsciously turned to the girl who was sitting opposite us a while ago but she wasn’t there anymore.

I sighed and didn’t think much of it then continued to watch Kel lament like a child as she ate the chicken.

Right outside the restaurant, there was a boy seated with a black bag. Kel scoffed.

“What’s he doing here?” she pouted her lips angrily and even I couldn’t help but wonder what Derick was doing here. Maybe he certainly to eat chicken as well?

I shrugged, “Let’s go.”

Kel nodded giving Derick an annoyed look before following me.

“Hey…” Derick called but I just kept walking ignoring him completely.

“Wait up.” he ran over and caught up with us easily.

He stood in front of me and I raised my brow while Kel folded her arms. “Jerk…” Kel whispered.

“You dropped this.” he raised an earring and I realized it was the same one that had been looking for since the day I fell unconscious on the rooftop.

My brows furrowed, “How did you get this?” I asked confused.

Derick scoffed. “You don’t still get it do you?” he took my hand and placed the earring there before walking away.

I raised a brow then looked at the earring in my hand. I had my suspicions but I didn’t want to believe that Derick was the one who helped me on that day but it seems he truly was the one. Whatever the case may be I have to thank him, no one would have known that I was there on time.

“Aish… He’s so full of himself. I should give him a punch in the face one of these days.” she demonstrated giving a punch and her tiny fists made me laugh.

“Let’s go already.” we both laughed and walked away.

##

Behind stood the girl from before. She looked at Ayla and Kel as they walked away and sighed.

###

Soon, I got home. I was anxious to meet Gerard since we didn’t get to talk much in the morning because Diana came around.

I walked into the house and searched the apartment for Gerard but he was nowhere in sight.

“Where could he have gone?” I wondered.

I walked to the wardrobe and searched for casual home clothe and someone hugged me from behind.

I was startled but when I heard his voice, I knew instantly who this was.

“You’re back, I missed you.” his chin fell on my neck and he acted like a cute little kitten who missed its mama.

“Mr Gerard, did you wait for that long?” I asked with a smile on my face.

Gerard didn’t say anything and only nodded. Who on Earth thought h how to act sweet?

“Well then, you must be hungry, I’ll get you something to eat,” I suggested but he didn’t stop hugging me.

He shook his head, “I don’t want to eat.”

“Huh? Then what do you want to do?” I asked confused.

“Dance with me.”
