Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 52

Maybe he’s in love in with another girl?
I wondered
“Are you okay?” He asked
“Yes.. Yes.. I’m fine” I stood up
“W..well I only dropped by to check on
you..and give you some notes..we wrote
today”

I searched for my literature, Government
And Maths notes.

I was in a hurry to leave. It won’t be a good
idea staying around cause I might end
crying. The mere thought of Jeffrey loving
another girl and seeing me a just a friend
brought tears to my eyes but I did my best
at fighting the urge to cry.

Elena must have felt this way too!
“Are you leaving?” Jeffrey was on his feet
now

“Yes..Yes..I don’t want my nanny to worry
too much..”

I zipped my backpack
“I’ll see you tomorrow” I said and I would
have raced out of the store again but
Jeffrey was quick to grab my upper arm. I
blinked back the tears that threatened to
spill anytime soon.

No! Don’t be crier!
And I didn’t turn to look at him.
“Its getting..late..So I should..Leave” I said
shakily

No! Please don’t move! I said to myself
when Jeffrey made his move to stand in
front of me. He tilted my chin to look at
him. I looked away from him. He didn’t
stop. Jeffrey leaned in.

“I’m sorry” he apologized. Why was he
apologizing? Can Jeffrey tell what’s going
on in my mind?

“Thanks for stopping by to check on me. I’ll
be at school tomorrow” he said
“All right” I said in a voice that is more like
a whisper.

Jeffrey nodded with a broad smile and I
got lost in it..His smile, presence – big, tall
and muscular.

Jeffrey rubbed my jaw with gaze fixed on
my lips. He was going to kiss me, I didn’t
know how i knew it but I did. And I was
going to let him even though i knew
without doubt that I shouidnt let Him.

He came closer and leaned in. I tilted my
chin so slightly. And then Jeffrey did it. He
kissed me. On the cheeks!

“Have a good night sleep” He said as he
stepped back afterward.
It took me a moment to realize what had
happened. I stood there,stunned and a
little embarassed that the tilt of my chin
might have given him an idea that I’d
expected more than a kiss on the cheeks.
Gosh! Kate has gotten into you?!

“Do you want me to drive you home?”
I heard him say. And I jerked back to life.
“No..No..no..I’ll take a taxi”
“Then let me walk you -”
“N..no..Need.. I’ll be fine” I said
I was embarrassed
Why did i made it obvious that I was
expecting a kiss on the lips!

“Bye..See you tomorrow” i said in a rush.
I walked away from him and bumped into
someone.

“Oh Sorry!” Aunty Joke said
Unbelievable! She was eavesdropping! She
must have seen everything!

Oh My God!

I rushed out of the store.
Now that am far from Jeffrey I felt a bit
relief.

But how am i going to face him tomorrow?
God Help Me!

Don’t let this feeling take the best part of
me!

It was never in my plans to fall in love with
any boy in high school. Now am in Elena’s
League.

“Single but in love”
I hail down a taxi

“Gold Estate” I said
“Come in Miss” the driver said
I entered the car and sighed with relief
again
