Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 94

☆☆

Elena’s POV
It was on a cool Monday Morning. The time
was just 6:25am. I got to school earlier
than i used to. Only the boarders moved
around the school premises picking up
some dirt. Some greeted me. I walked
down the silent hallway, my footsteps
echoing in my ears as I motioned towards
my locker. I found a Pink note and a Rose
attached on my locker.

I looked around hoping to see who had
placed these things on my locked, but
everywhere was silent!

No one was around except EHS boarders.
I wondered who has been sending me
notes since last term.
“Coward..” I muttered

Why won’t he show his face? Or come to
me instead of sending notes?

How can I acknowledge the notes when
there is no name attached to it. And d--n
it! I don’t know who owns the writing in
each notes!

My Secret Admirer won’t show himself to
me!

This is so annoying!

I glanced down at the note and read it.
“My feelings for you keeps growing all the
time. I’ve run into few girls I’ve gone out
with a few of them but I’m really not
interested anymore. I find myself thinking
only about you and not wanting to see
anyone else. And i wish I could really
express myself face to face but I’m scared
of facing you. What would you say if you
find out its me? Yell? Snub? Insult me or
mock me? It bothers me”

It seems My Secret Admirer has been in a
relationship with some girls in the past.
“Why won’t you just show yourself to
me?” I mumbled

I opened the locker and picked
Mathematics my Textbook. My gaze fell on
the letter and rose in my hands again. I
walked to the dustbin to drop the stuffs in
it. I have a lot on my mind, worrying
myself about my secret admirer is a waste
of time. I was almost dropping it but I
stopped when I heard a voice.

“It’s unfair”
It was in my mind
“It must have taken him a lot of time to
put that piece together for you”
The voice said
I moved away from the bin.

Then I went back to my locker and dropped
the letter and Rose in it. It was the first
letter I saved. I threw the previous ones in
the bins.

My mind was right. It wasn’t fair to throw
them away.

What excuse do I give to my secret
admired when he shows up?

Wait..Am I even ready to face him too?
It was the first time someone was
admitting his feelings for me. As in –
“Elena someone loves you!”
Secretly. And I suddenly wished he would
sum up his courage and come to me.
“Don’t worry too much Elena”
I sighed and moved to class.

I didn’t do my Mathematics assignment
because I left my textbook in my locker on
Friday. And I was too busy over the
weekend to come and get it.
“Elena?”

I jumped in fear when I heard a voice
behind me. I turned my head to face the
person. It was Cullen! Well Cullen was a
Boarder at Empire High school too.
“Geez! You startled me”
He rolled his eyes
“Sorry Elena, I was a bit surprised to see
you. You came too early today” he said
“I haven’t done the Mathematics
assignment” I said

Cullen opened the class door and I stepped
in.

“Same here, I don’t even understand the
questions” Cullen breathed heavily.
I settled on my chair and he sat beside me.
I stared at the questions for a long time
“I’m not sure i can solve any of these
question” I covered my face with the
textbook.

“Ah! Give it a try Elena” he persuaded
“You know I’m not really good in math..” I
said soberly

“Yeah I know, but you are better than me”
Cullen laughed
I studied the questions for minutes again
and nothing came to me. I didn’t get the
right answers!

“Mr Danny will flog plenty people today”
Cullen wailed
I glanced at my wrist watch. The red light
beeped 6:35am.

“Are you with your cellphone?” I asked
Cullen
He nodded and gave me his phone from his
backpack.

“Who are you calling?”
“Katherine”
“Oh! That’s true! She’s good in
mathematics. Why didn’t I even call her
during weekend so she could forward the
solutions to me!” He palmed his forehead
“I saved it as Katie” he said
“Katie?” I repeated with a raised eyebrow.
“Yes Katie for Katherine” he explained
I dialed Kate’s number and she picked.

“Hello Cullen ” she said on the other end.
“Good morning Kate, its me Elena”
“Oh! Elena! How come you called with
Cullen’s line?” She asked in a confused
tone.

“I’m in school Kate?”
“Oh sorry..I didn’t think about that -”
“Have you done your assignment?”
“Which one of them?”
“Mathematics”
“Yes..What about you?”
“I can’t solve the questions. I’m not getting
the correct answers” I cried
I can’t stand Mr Danny strokes! And he
would be so disappointed if I don’t do his
assignment!

“Where are you?” I asked
“I’m just leaving home” she said
I let out a loud cry. Kate won’t get to
school on time. The journey from her
house to school is about 30 minutes or
even more if there is traffic.

“I’m sorry Elena” she apologized
“Its okay..”

“But you should have texted me during the
weekend.. ”

Yeah I went to a party (owanbe) with my
mom on Saturday. And on Sunday when I
wanted to do my assignment in the night
then I couldn’t find the textbook in my
bag.

“I left my textbook at school”
“Don’t worry I’ll tell my driver to be fast”
she said
“Okay”
The line dropped.

“So we have to wait for her” Cullen said in
a low tone.
I nodded

And we lapsed into silence.
“Hey Elena do you know if Joseph and
Angella are still together?” He asked after a
long pause.

“They broke up” I said
Cullen gasped
“When?”
“Last term. Joseph broke up with Angela
the day he found out she posted those
pictures” I explained

“That’s sad but do you think Joseph will
accept her again? You know have we have
a different Angella now”
“It’s up to him” I muttered
“Well I think they are meant to be
together”

What?! Meant to be?!
Cullen won’t stop thinking?
“Why did you say so?”
“They fought countess times and break up
for sometime and they get back together
again. Don’t you sense a future between
them?” Cullen grinned at me.
I frowned at him.

Why would he think that Joseph and
Angela are tied together? Or meant to be?!
Like..Having a future together!
“Why are you frowning at me?”
Cullen grin disappeared
I sat back in my chair and relaxed. I
shouldn’t be annoyed because of his
useless points.

Its none of his business if they decided to
get back together!

“Oh! I get it!” He exclaimed
“What?”

“Your feelings for Joseph” he spat
My eyes widened in shock and sheer
surprise.

How did he find out i have feelings for
Joseph?

“Well..I’ve always known you love Joseph.
You’re just hiding your feelings to save
your friendship” he said with a serious face
He knows so much!

But I can’t admit it!
