“This lecture is too boring” I whispered to Zane.
“You expect Management to be fun?” he probed. When will the bell ring? I can’t take this anymore.
“Miss Clare is to be blamed if I’m in coma” I whispered and Zane laughed.
“There’s still twenty minutes for the lecture to end”
“OH GOD!! I can’t take it anymore!” I said putting my head down on the desk. Zane elbowed me and I popped my head up to look at him. Miss Clare was staring at me, I guess I have been too loud and she heard me. Not knowing how to handle the situation I gave her a smile wide enough to make her go mad even more.
“Out of my class!” she yelled. I didn’t feel offended nor am I upset. In fact I don’t know how to thank her from saving me from her boring lectures. I can’t bear her lecture even for a single minute but thanks to Miss Clare for sending me out even it is a punishment. I quickly went out of the class before she could change her mind and took a deep breathe.
“Relief” I said to myself.
“A big one” I turned to see Zane standing behind me.
“Now what did you do to be sent out here?” I asked
“Mimicked her”
“What!? You mimicked the teacher? Are you crazy?” I said laughing.
“Alright, I need to splash some cold water on my face to keep myself awake” I said after having a good laugh for about five minutes.
“Sure” he replied and I moved in the direction of girls’ washroom.
I splashed some cold water on my face and wiped my face with my own handkerchief as I don’t feel comfortable using washroom’s towel for my face.
‘Feeling fresh now’ I thought to myself. I looked myself through the mirror and found my hair in an improper condition. I opened my hair, combed them and put the hairclip on again. It was shocking to see Zane behind me in the ‘girl’s’ washroom. He was staring at me through the mirror. He walked near me and removed the hairclip from my hair.
“You look more beautiful when you allow your hair to be free” he whispered to my ears making my cheek’s colour change to red as I blushed. Don’t know for how long he has been staring at me like that. Isn’t it amazing when the person you love, loves you too?
“Zane, what are you doing here? This is girl’s washroom, you shouldn’t be here” I said, realising that we were still in the washroom.
“Come on Blaire”
“No. You have to wait out”
“No one’s here. Let me stay” he insisted.
“No Zane. You’re not supposed to be here. Go out and wait outside. I’ll be there in no time, now go” I said, pulling him by his arms and bringing him till the exit door.
“Okay fine, but be quick” he said. I combed my hair again and tied them together with a clip.
“Waiting outside… as promised” he said with a smile on seeing me come out.
“In no time.. as promised” I winked.
“Can I ask you a question?” he probed when the car halted outside my house.
“What question?” I asked back.
“Um.. Are you free tonight?”
“Are we going on a date?” I asked blushing.
“You’re kind and beautiful, perfect to be the queen of my empire” he made me blush even more by saying that.
“I’ll be your Queen only if you promise to be my King, Forever”
“I promise… We are forever” he said taking my hand into his.
“I’ll come at 8 to pick you up” he said, we bid our byes before he drove off.
What shall I wear tonight? I thought hard as I glanced over my closet. I couldn’t find anything that would be perfect for today’s occasion so I went to Ethie’s room. She isn’t home so I thought of taking the advantage by stealing her clothes for a day. I unlocked her closet and I couldn’t take my eyes off of that lavender coloured lacy dress. I took it out and went inside the bathroom, hoping that it fits me and luck favoured me because it did. The dress ended just an inch above my knees.
“Perfect” I said clapping my hands in excitement. I took the dress to my room, took a quick shower and wore that elegant dress. Now I need a matching jewellery or a necklace that would compliment my dress and enhance it’s beauty, so I went to Ethie’s room one more time and opened her jewellery box. I knew what I wanted. I took out her pearl necklace and wore it around my neck.
‘I think this will be perfect’ I thought looking myself through the mirror. I tied my hair in an elegant bun.
‘You look more beautiful when you allow your hair to be free’ Zane’s words rushed through my mind and I kept my hair open. I looked into the mirror for one final time before leaving. I checked whether everything was perfect or not. For the first time, I loved the reflection the mirror was showing, I had never dressed like this before moreover I’ve never felt this beautiful before and only one person deserves the credit for my happiness – Zane Giezmann. He has transformed me from a sad doleful girl who never cared about her looks to a beautiful and jolly girl and I thank him for this. It’s only because of him that I started loving myself.
‘ I was afraid of darkness,
Until I saw him the beauty in him.
I was afraid of evil,
Until I saw the kindness in him.
Never had I thought,
That I would see the Light in the Dark.
I was afraid of darkness
Until I got to know him…’
I checked the clock at 7:30 pm. I wore my black coloured heels and with that I was ready for the date.
Just when I was about to place my hand on the door knob to open it, my phone buzzed. I looked at the screen which displayed the caller’s name – Gizelle. I wonder what she needs from me. Don’t why she made a call to me. Gizelle Gabriel is my senior in college and is famous for her bad attitude. People call her bad bitch and you can say that she’s the female version of Marcus. I’ve never liked her.
“Hello?” I answered the call.
“Blaire, I need your help” she said panting over the call.
“What’s wrong Gizelle? Are you alright? Why are you panting?” her voice worried me.
“I need your help. Can you meet me in the storehouse of our college?”
“Storehouse? But students are not supposed to go there and college might also be closed at this hour of time” I said confused.
“No it’s not. I’m waiting for you in the storehouse please come fast” she said and hunged up the call.
I’m puzzled, she has so many friends yet she decided to call me for help? The person she hates. My brain warned me not to go there. My brain’s telling me that it’s her trick as she’s evil but the soft side of my heart says that I must go and check on her. She might really be in trouble and doesn’t want to mention it to her friends?
