I will Love You Forever - Chapter 94

“Can I borrow your friend for a minute?” Derick asked and instantly, I turned and glared at him.

“Hey… What are you talking about?” I gave him a death glare but he just ignored and focused on Kel instead as though asking for her permission.

“Um… Yes, I guess.” Kel responded hesitantly. Because the lecturer had not arrived yet, stepping out for a moment wouldn’t be too bad.

I ignored both of them and just faced the board that was situated in a far distance.

“let’s go?” he asked but didn’t wait for my answer before grabbing my hand and taking me out.

“Hey… Hey…” I yelled and everyone turned to look at the both of us as we made our way to the exit.

As soon as we were outside the hall, I jerked my hand back and glared at him as though he was a criminal.

“How dare you? What more do you want? It’s not like I have a phone that you can break today right…” I was super pissed and was just holding myself back from giving him a punch from the descendants.

“Can you calm down?” he asked in a gentle tone which surprised me.

‘Why is he behaving all calm and caring as though we are close?’ I wondered to myself while staring at him quizzically.

“Umm…” he cleared his throat and took a few steps back.

I was in the process of fixing my scattered hair when he dropped the bombshell. “How is your health now?”

‘Punk, how dare you even ask me that? Who gave you the audacity to talk to me as though we were friends.’ I sighed and raised a brow in a serious manner.

“My health is none of your business. So before you begin to run your mouth about things that you are oblivious of, do your findings first.” I’m sure he understood what I was talking about. Besides, who goes around spreading rumours about constipation.

“Huh?” he looked at me surprised and behaved as though I was speaking gibberish.

I totally lost it after seeing him act as though he had no idea what I was talking about. “How can you go around school telling people something you never saw!”

Derick raise a brow and blinked twice. “What are you talking about?”

“Tsk.” I am not going to stay back and watch him like to my face so it would be best if I just walked away, after all, my class will start soon and I don’t want to be late.

I looked up at him with an annoyed glare then walk away. He said something that made me snort before finally walking in for my class.

“Really? Not even a thank you?” he was disappointed but didn’t give up and hurried to the class as well.

The lecturer still wasn’t there but the hall was getting fuller by the minute. I walked to my seat only to see that my chair had been overtaken by someone else. Kel wanted to explain but someone was seating on my chair already.

“Oh Hy Eric.” I greeted seeing him next to Kel. After that incident, Eric and Kel have not had the opportunity to talk to each other properly. I was in support of them sitting together if that would change the atmosphere between the two of them but the only problem was where I was going to sit.

“You can si…” Eric stood up but I cut him short. There was no way I was going to ruin this moment for the both of them.

“No… What are you saying? I’ll just sit somewhere else besides, I do really like the air conditioning.”

I gave a terrible excuse and hurried away leaving the two of them to catch up.

I smiled when I saw a vacant seat. Ha… At least I wouldn’t have to stand while taking the lecture.

“You should be more mindful of how you time yourself.”

Just after I had sat, I realized that Derick was sitting beside me. I glared at him after realizing this and wanted to stand up but he held my hand.

I turned to look at him surprised by this act of his. He pulled me back to the chair and pretended as though nothing happened.

“You’ll not find another chair even if you leave. By the way, I can endure sitting with you for today.” he was so casual when he said this that I really wished I could just give him that punch already.

Just then, the lecturer walked in demanded total silence. All I could do was glare at him.

“Good morning…”

The classes started and it wasn’t as boring as the early morning class. I concentrate and didn’t even remember that I was sitting beside that punk.

“That would be all for today… Have a nice day.” The lecturer greeted and walked out of the class.

I sighed and put my book into my small bag. Only then did I remember the annoying tiny eye guy that was seated beside me.

I looked at him and scoffed. “This jerk couldn’t even dare to last two minutes before sleeping off.” I still couldn’t understand how he gets good grades even after sleeping through classes.

I sighed and walked away. Some of us aren’t as lucky as he is. “I have to read to pass but he doesn’t even put in so much effort.” I pouted and met Kel outside.

I walked up to her with a mild smile on my face. “So… How did it go?” I asked but she didn’t say much.

“Why? Did he say something that offended you?” I asked again already looking for something I could use to attack him.

Kel sighed and turned to face me. Her face was pale and her eyes were teary. “Huh? What happened?” I asked worriedly.

She hugged me but I didn’t hear her cry. I pursed my lips and recalled all the things I had in my pencil case. I could only hope that I had a knife there to teach that young man a lesson.

“He’s leaving the country. Together with his family. They are all relocating.” she said this calmly but I could sense that she wasn’t happy about it at all.

‘Weird and to think that I had already thought about how I wanted to punish him. I take it back. Ayla… You’re too quick to act out.’

I patted her shoulder. “You like him don’t you?” I asked and I could feel her nodding. I sighed and couldn’t do much other than pet her.

Something crossed my mind and I wondered what I’d do if Gerard ever tells me that it’s over between the two of us. I have grown so used to him that I can’t even imagine a day without him.

Would I be able to take it all in?

She broke the hug and smiled at me. “Guess what? There is a new restaurant opposite the school and I heard they sell the best-grilled chicken. Why don’t we go there? Me and you.”

I pursed my lips remembering that I promised Gerard that I would go with him after my lecture was done for the day.

”

Um… Sure. Let’s go…” there is no way I can turn her down after the news about Eric leaving the country.

“Really?” her eyes glimmered as she jumped for joy like a small child.

I nodded and she tucked her arms into mine and happily began to walk away. “Yey… Now we can have some chicken. Great isn’t it?”

I smiled slightly seeing how happy she was. She looked so different from the calm and reserved girl I met on my first day at school.

##

At a corner, Kara watched quietly. She had a worried expression and because of this, her hands began to sweat.

She clutched her chest and breathed heavily as she watched Ayla and Kel’s silhouette disappear.

She rushed to the female restroom and washed her hand and face. She did this for a long time until she was able to breathe properly again.

Kara squatted on the floor and looked wasted. She was worried, and her hands were shaking.

“Why? Why did you have to come here?” her head was hurting and all she could do was close her eyes for a moment with the hopes that it would disappear.

###

“Umm… This chicken tastes so nice. I wish I could just eat tons and tons more. This is certainly not enough for me.” Kel was both happy and sad at once.

Happy that she got to eat chicken and sad because she wanted so much more. She seemed to have forgotten about Eric and simply focused on the meat instead.

I smiled as I watched her eat like a glutton. She wasn’t shy and I adored her for that.

“Well well well, who do we have here?” I looked up to see who it was only to find Mrs Elizabeth standing there with a bright smile on her face.
