It's all a play?

CHAPTER TWO

It was time to go home and I was exhausted. I waved my friends goodbye before walking out of the school premises. I can not wait till I get home and tell my sister about everything that happened today. It is our little tradition to always talk about everything that happened to use that day.

After few minutes, I noticed that someone was following me. I turned around to see who it was and it was Greyfield.

"Greyfield? W-why are you following me?"

"Am not"

"Then what are you doing?"

"Going home" he said

"You leave around here?" I asked confused

"Yeah"

"W-what? You are new here?"

"No"

"No? When did you start living here? How long have you been living here? How come I did not know that you have been living around here?" I asked curiously

"Wow, you ask a lot of questions." He said walking " well, first, I have lived here for almost ten years now"

"Ten years?" I asked almost screaming. I was confused. How come I did not know that he has been living here for so long. Ten years fo rthe matter. My neighbourhood is small, so, everyone know who lives around here and knows whenever a person/family move into one of the house here but why did I not know him.

"Urm… well, why did you change your school" I said changing the topic "I mean it is the middle of the semester"

"Because, the girls in my former s hool are way too clingy, so, I decided to attend this school, Elite high but the girls here are not exceptions" he said

"I doubt" I said

"What? Why?"

"Because that is not an excuse for you to change your school, expecially in the middle of the semester. Besides if they were to clingy like you said, they will be waiting for you at your door and will have waited for you at the front of the school." I said. He looked at me as if what i said was stupid. It is not stupid right? If they were really clingy like he said, we won't be walking home together alone… wait a minute am alone with him? Oh my God.

After some silent awkward moments, we reached out home. 

"So this is my home. Erm… goodbye" I said, without waiting for his reply, I went inside my home quickly

GREYFIELD POV

Seeing her today in school made my heart jump. I was afraid: afraid that she might recognize me. Talking to her while going home made me realize that she does not remember me. Her family has done a great job trying not speak of me or make her remember me. They really hate me this much? As much as I want to talk to her, I could not. I was afraid of what will happen to her if she remember me. Will she be angry at me?

It has been years since I last talk to her. She has changed a lot and become more prettier. We were best friends, the only friend that I thrusted. But now, I don't know. 

I have to pretend: pretend that I do not know her, pretend to never see her except for today, I have to pretend that I have never touched her, never laughed with her, never cried with her. I have to start all over again, which is painful. How I wish that accident never happened. How I wished I was there with her to save her. I hate myself for what happened to her.

LEELA POV

"Why can't I stop thinking about him, I met him for the first time today and I can not stop thinking about him. This is ridiculous, what do you think Kaylee?" I asked my sister who was playing with my hair

" I think you should forget about him" she spoke

"What she said really surprised me because everytime I talk about a guy l, she would always want to get the full detail about him but today, she did not ask about him. Maybe because she already seen him today. 

Kaylee is my younger sister/best friend. She is two years younger than I am and am always free with her. We are like twin sisters. We love almost the same thing and she is in her sophomore year . I know this is kind of weird but it was due to the fatal accident I had three years ago and it took me approximately a year to recover.

Kaylee is a really fun person to be with but today, ii was different. After telling her about I and Greyfield walking home together, she was not interested like how she usually do for other guys I tell her 

"Leela, let us talk about something else." She said leaving my hair and jump on my bed next to me. "Do you know that the football team's couch removed the team's captain from the team for bullying a fresh man student?"

"Uhm…that weird. Why will he do that?"

"I don't know"

"So, who did he appoint to be the new football team's captain?"

"Joseph"

"What? Joseph?" I asked 

"Yeah, I know right. That stupid guy. I can not believe the couch picked him as the new captain of the football team. I mean did he not see any other person he could pick?"

"Yeah, now he is going to walk down the hallways boasting that he is the new captain of the football team and it is so going to be annoying" I said, almost shouting.

I dislike Joseph, he has asked me out a lot of times and I refused. Now, with his now proclaimed new captain of the football team, he will use that to boast around. He should not have been picked as the new captain of the football team.
