Unexpected News

Chapter 8

I hurry out of his room and head back to the gathering in the hall in search for Sarah and Amelia. I get there and look through the heavy crowd everywhere hoping to see them. I finally spot them not far from the food section. I walk towards them and they spot me before getting there. 

“Omg where have you been” Amelia says.

“We’ve been looking for you” Sarah continues. 

“I’ll tell you everything later” 

“Wait why are your lips plumped and red?” Sarah asks. Amelia then looks at my lips as well.

“Is it what I think it is?” Amelia asks

“Omg” they both squeal having come to a conclusion of why my lips are red and plumped. 

“Who have you been kissing. We need the deats”. Sarah says 

“Who is he?” Amelia demands.

“Omg guys, jeez give me a break like I said I’ll tell you lot later” 

“Uh uh”. Sarah says. “Come on we’re leaving, your going to tell us now” she grabs onto my hand walking me through the crowd as Amelia follows behind me. We end up in Sarah’s dorm. I look around her room. It’s really brigght and colourful. 

“Ooooo I like you room,  it’s really colourful” I say 

“Stop stalling” Sarah says as she pushes me onto her bed as I fall backwards. I sit up. 

“Jeez calm down Sarah” I say 

“Come on now spill!” Amelia says 

“Ok!” I raise my arms in a surrender pose. I breathe in getting ready to spill everything. 

“I did kiss someone” I started out. I hear squeals from both of them. 

“Ok, we knew”. Sarah says with excitement. 

“Continue” Amelia says with desperation. Before I can open my mouth to speak further they continue to ask. 

“Who is it? What’s his name? Do we know him?” They both bombard me with questions. 

“I can’t even get one word out before you lot start to talk” I say 

“Ok but answer this first. Who is it”. Amelia asks as she looks deeply into my eyes waiting for a name. 

“His name is Sylvester” I say as I look between both of them. They look shocked and they give each other looks with utter shock and disbelief on their faces. I start to be alarmed. 

“What is it guys?” I say abruptly. They don’t answer me as they continue to give each other looks as though there communicating through those looks. I start to get frustrated. 

“Sylvester WHO?”. They say in unison. 

“I don’t know, you don’t really introduce yourself with your surname. Is there more than one Sylvester” I say. They don’t answer. 

“GUYS, WHAT IS IT?” I clap with each word I say” 

“Well he kinda has a reputation”. Amelia says 

“And why type of reputation is that?” I ask 

“He’s known for being emotionless due to his past and by that I mean family issues and involving the reason as to why he was sent here. He also doesn’t like to get involved with girls beyond anything s****l”. Sarah informs me. 

“He pays no attention to girls  and let me tell you there has been plenty of girls who have thrown themselves at him as if he’s some celebrity so for him to kiss you is well… unlike is his character”. Amelia continues. My mind wanders back to how he talked when he was with me like he had, had his fair share of the negative things life had to throw at one. When we were at his spot he mentioned that, that was where he came to clear his head. It has me thinking now if he goes there frequently. 

“Well I forgot to mention this happened in his door room”. I say and there mouths opens wide in shock again. 

“He took you to his dorm but that is not allowed” Sarah mentions. 

“Exactly my thought”‘Amelia says. 

“I couldn’t continue. It was getting intense so I hurried out of his room and that’s when I came to look for you guys”. I say 

“Well this all too much to take in”. Said Amelia 

“You had an eventful night” Sarah says 

“Aside from all this Emily, I hope you don’t entertain him and fall for him whereas he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings back. I don’t want to see you heartbroken.” Amelia warns me. 

That night back at my dorm in bed, I had the words of Amelia and Sarah replaying in my head. Is that who he really is. He doesn’t don feeling and I’m already felling something for him since day 1 of seeing him. I don’t know what I’m going to do but I’m going on try and steer clear of him. I don’t want to have to get involved in a bunch for chaos. When I can prevent it from occurring. So that’s what I’m going to be doing.
