BREAKTHROUGH

RICHARD.

Episode 5.

"I'm fine i replied."

I'm Richard, what's your name?

"Je.. j.. Jemima, I stuttered"

What a cute name for a damsel.. well I just got admitted into this university so I don't really know anyone, but you look familiar.

"oh really"

of course I'm the school's"Queen Blair" I thought to myself.

"uh.. Hey Aren't you going to say anything, he asked

Actually I was too lost deep in my thoughts that I couldn't even listen to him.

"oh I'm so sorry I wasn't listening,

I felt so shy and also embarrassed I couldn't take it anymore.

Lectures began and I bet I didn't hear a word. I thought about, Ajay, Simon and Richard they were three beautiful Angelic beings

Ajay was calmest of them all

he was as calm as a dove but yet he was elegant and most beautiful.

Lectures were over and I decided to go see Scarli

I searched everywhere but I couldn't find her. I decided to go the cafeteria alone. I sat alone with my eyes glued to my phone, I waited to get any messages from Ajay but none came, I felt bad because i was already missing him. I decided to eat without Scarli maybe she was too busy..

And just then Richard walked up to my table

"Waiting for someone"?

"Richard right" I pretended not to remember his name.

"You can't tell me you've forgotten?

"I don't usually keep many names in my head though

"Well can I join you?

"Sure.

"So who is that you seem to be waiting for?

"My best friend, Scarlett we usually come here together but maybe she's busy.

"Oh.. maybe. So Jemima can i call you princess?

"I find that rather too soon..

"Well princesses are beautiful

"Alright sure.

"Do you have siblings?

"Yeah I do, a mischievous younger sister, just two of us.

We chatted for a while, untill it was time to go home, he offered to walk me outside, i accepted we walked gently outside. I got a text from Ajay

[chats]Ajay:Where are you?

I felt relieved on seeing his text and i replied.

Jemima [Chats] On my way outside

I sighted Ajay's car and I told Richard Thank you for walking me, I'll take it from here.

"Are you sure?

yes i am

"Alright then see you around.

He walked to his car and waved.I waved back.

I walked to Ajay's car and hopped in. Surprisingly I couldn't find Scarli so I asked about her.

"Where is Scarli?

"She went home early today. He replied coldly

"Oh.

"Who was that?

Why is he asking? is he jealous?

I smiled inwardly I wasn't aware Ajay was now staring at me

Ajay took a different meaning to the smile.

"Let's just go home.

"His name is Richard, I just got to know him. I replied almost coming out as a whisper.

He let out a frown and started the car and drove off.

While he was driving we were both silent

Ajay's Pov: Jemi is getting familiar with other guys, I really need to act quickly, she's beautiful and if I'm not careful I might loose her.

"Jemi.. He finally broke the silence.

Yeah?

"Can I ask you a question?

"Sure what is it?

"Do you have a boyfriend?

"huh? okay slow down dracula, I don't see how my personal life concerns you..

"I'm just curious.

"No I don't.

He was surprised, I could see it in his face.

"Are you going to be free tomorrow?

Jemima's Pov: I felt like it was taking him too long to ask me out, Why don't you just say it already! And oh I'm totally free tomorrow.

"Oh uh.. y.. yeah i am, i replied stuttering.

"Okay that's cool I'll come pick you up, it's a date.
