1004 Words
"ANNIE!" I heard someone shouting my name from behind and I know who it is, "Zyreel", I said while waving my hand to her. "Do you have contact with Jenlyn?" She said and I looked at her in question. "I dont have any idea. Why?" She looked so worried, did I miss something here? "What happened?" I asked her because she looked tense. I held her hand to make her calm. "I don't know how to keep Annie. I think Jenlyn is in danger. I haven't received any message from her since we went to the amusement park" she said. "Did you call her parents or even her driver?" I know that Zyreel has contact with Jenlyn's parents and even the driver, because Zyreel is a very protective friend. "Shh Zyreel, calm down. If you can't contact her parents, maybe there is a family emergency." I did everything just to keep her calm.
"Hey!" Vyrone waved his hand to us. He is with Kyo but I can't see Gill. It's been a week since Gill and Jenlyn went to school. And honestly, I am worried. ''Vyrone and Kyo, do you have any news on Gill?'' I asked. Kyo was intensely looking at me over my question and Vyrone said ''We don't have any idea. I think they went on a family trip. Every year they have that kind of get-together. We didn't know where Gill was and after a week Gill came back and nothing happened.'' Kyo sat on the bench and said ''Our professor didn't bother to ask what happened. That's why we are used to that.'' I just nodded my head. I looked at Zyreel and she was still in a space. I tapped her shoulder and hugged her and hugged her back. ''Shh, I'll try my best to know where she is. I know a detective who can help.'' I said. Good thing I know Lovely. Maybe she can help us with this. Kyo looked at me and I smiled. He didn't smile back and stand, went away from us. ''What is his problem?'' I said, Vyrone looked at me ''I think he is just jealous earlier.'' He said. ''What? Why is he jealous? From what??'' I said. ''Maybe because of you asking Gill.'' He said. I already know that but I'd rather not think of it, but I can't stop myself from thinking about how I will explain it to him. And why do I need to explain it if we don't have any idea what we are?
''You'll know Annie.'' He said and tapped my shoulder. He went to Zyreel and tapped her head. ''Don't worry about Jenlyn, Zy.'' He stood up to us and said ''Before I forget, we will have a band later for the end of foundation. Please watch us Zy, and Annie.'' He said, I just nodded and also Zyreel. He went away and we are the ones who left. For Zyreel to cheer up, I know what I would do, ''Zyreel, let's go to your house. I want you to dress me up in what I will wear later.'' I said to her. She lies her head and looked at me with her broad smile. She hugged me because of what I said. ''You know how to cheer me up. Come! I am excited!'' She said and pulled me towards the parking lot. I smiled because I knew what I would do. She drove and for the first time in my life her driving skills are improving,. ''You know how to drive Zyreel.'' I teased her. ''Yes of course'' We both laughed at that because she sounded sarcastic. ''Vyrone, teach me how to drive.'' She said and I can see that there is something between her and Vyrone. I think Zyreel is falling for him. ''You and Vyrone, what is your relationship?'' I directly asked her because I know she can't lie to me. She is not good at lying. ''There is no us'' she said. ''Really?'' I said. I know she is lying and I know her reaction even though I can just see her face. ''Okay, okay I will tell you everything.'' She said and I smiled widely because I know that I am right. ''I don't know what our we but he actually treat me as a woma. I didn't ask him to do that and we don't really have a conversation where I would ask what he is doing.'' She said. I am just listening to her, I don't want to interrupt and I kinda feel the same. ''He didn't even bother to ask me about that. He just acts and then that's it. I really want to say that I love him.'' She said and I could see that she would cry,. I can see her eyes. ''Yes you could. I fall for Vyrone and now I am scared because what if it's just nothing'' I tapped her shoulder, ''Stop the car, Zyreel. I'll drive. You are emotional right now.'' I said to her. It can cause an accident if she is crying while driving. She stopped the car and we switched. I am the one who is driving right now and I am still waiting for her to continue the story. ''And that's it, I am used to what he is doing. He always come to my house just to drive my car and by that he is teaching me as well.'' She just looked at the window while she is telling the story, ''Do you know what's more?'' She asked me, I just react as the sign of what. ''I even introduce him to my parents as a boyfriend.'' I am shocked by that but I continue listening. ''Because my dad saw us together and you know my dad, he doesn't want me to be with a guy unless he is my boyfriend and by that my family knows that he is my boyfriend while me I don't know what we are.''
