✰[WHO ARE YOU…]✰
Jayden sighed, unrelaxingly and kept his phone away.
“What does she want? Is she back or what?” He thought.
? Wow. She’s pretty.
? Who’s she?
? Isn’t that Natalie?? Is she back in WSU???
Jayden looked straight with wide-ned eyes. Natalie was in front close to the lecturer.
“Gosh. She’s really back. I thought those were groundless rumors” Desmond said, and glanced at Jayden who was staring ha-rd at her.
“Her beauty never for once faded” Clark said, and Desmond pinched him.
“Ouch” Clark groa-ned.
“Ssh…Must you talk” Desmond glared.
Clark rolled his eyes.
“Who are you?” The lecturer asked.
“Are you a student in my cla-ss cause I know my students are all aware of my rules. No late coming during my lecture hours” The lecturer said.
Natalie adjusted the hand of her satchel bag and gave a small smile.
“Actually, I use to school here before I left Washington to Beijing” Natalie explained.
“Oh! Natalie Wavers??” He asked.
“You remember? I’m glad”
? Natalie??
? Wow. She’s back!
“I guess you’ve resumed the last and final semester with us?”
“As you can see” Natalie laughed, lowly.
“Go have your seat”
“Thank you Mr Walker”
“Actually, I’m Mr Timmy. I guess you’ve forgotten my name. I never forgot yours” He teased.
“I’m sorry. I don’t really remember most of y’all here. Please, don’t feel bad”
“Nah…Its fine. 3 years is crazy” He rolled his eyes.
Natalie smiled with a nod and walked to the chairs. People were staring and murmuring.
Natalie looked at Jayden’s side but he wasn’t facing her now. His eyes were still fixed on the board.
“Who’s she?” Maureen murmured.
“I don’t know” Whitney shrugged her shoulders.
“Do you?” Whitney asked Jade.
“Huh…Yeah. She use to date Jayden years back. During our first year though. Before, she ended things with him and migrated to some country”
“Oh…” Whitney and Maureen murmured and nodded.
“Who’s the guy? This Jayden?” Maureen asked.
“Over there. He’s that handsome cute- Jade paused and looked at Whitney who was staring at her suspiciously.
Jade cleared her throat, nervously.
“I mean,,, He’s that guy there. The…the handsome one” She pointed. written by sommy pearl f.
“Wow. He is really handsome” Maureen smiled, already day dreaming and crushing.
“Hey. You better not fall for him” Whitney snarled.
“Too late” Maureen smiled.
“Gosh. He’s so cute. Who gave birth to that dude? What if the cops sue him for killing me with his looks?”
“What’s with the cheesy lines? Damn” Whitney frowned.
“Please tell her…cla-ss is going on” Jade said, rolling her eyes.
“I also love his earrings. Look at how the cresent on it sparkles” Maureen smiled.
“What?” Whitney and Jade said, in unison.
“Huh? What’s it?” Maureen murmured.
Whitney and Jade exchanged glances and smi-rked at each other.
“The guy whom you’re crushing on isn’t Jayden” Jade shook her head.
“You got it all wrong. Jayden isn’t putting on earrings” Whitney’s sm-irk didn’t leave her face.
Maureen swallowed ha-rd and looked at the handsome guy again.
“Then…Fu-ck. Whos this handsome guy?? I’m falling ha-rd for this one” Maureen lic-ked her dry lower li-p.
“Clark” Whitney and Jade answered, together.
“What? Clark? Wow. Clark. Its nice to meet you” She mumbled.
Jade shook her head, smiling.
“Girls will be girls” Whitney raised her brows.

“Jayden??” Natalie called, immediately cla-ss ended.
Jayden stopped and looked back to see Natalie staring at him.
She sighed de-eperly and walked closer.
“Jayden? If you don’t mind. Can we talk?” She asked.
“What do you wanna talk about?” He asked, rashly.
“I can’t say it here. Why not let us talk in private?” She suggested.
By now, people were already murmuring and staring.
Jayden scoffed.
“The last time you to talked to me ended in tears. I vividly remember you, asking us to break up. Without remorse and without a single goodbye, you left…just like that”
Natalie sighed.
“I had no choice. My…dad was in danger”
“What?” Clark muttered and walked forward.
Natalie looked at him.
“I was talking to you, was I?”
Clark sighed with a nod and took few steps back.
“Guys, Let’s go” Whitney said angrily and pulled her two friends who were also staring at them.
Whitney managed to successfully take them away from the scene.
“Wait? What did you just say? Your father? In…in danger?” Jayden asked.
She nodded.
Jayden sighed de-eperly.
“Okay then. Let’s talk”
“Thanks. I’ll keep it brief” Natalie said, and the two left sight.
Desmond sighed and looked at Clark who was engrossed in his thoughts, and his eyes staring immersely at Natalie who was leaving with Jayden.
“Hey? Dude?” Desmond called him but Clark’s mind was far away from the planet earth. Must have gone to mars or something?
“What’s his problem? Desmond thought and waved his fingers across Clark’s face.
Yet, he didn’t even budge. Even his eyes refused to blink.
“Hey! Clark!!!” Desmond shouted and tapped his shoulder.
Clark eyes blinked and he came back from his far away thoughts.
“Damn! Dude…What were you thinking about!?” Desmond asked.
“Huh? Nothing” Clark shook his head.
“Let’s go to the school canteen. I’m starving” Desmond said, holding his shoulders. written by sommy pearl f.
“Sure..” Clark for-ced a small smile and these two finally left the scene.
***
“Wow. Is this your room? I like it” Maureen smiled, looking around.
“You’ve gotten a new room, right?” Jade asked, sitting on the small couch.
“Yeah. This same hostel. But no roommate yet. I’m still looking for one” Maureen smiled and sat down.
“Can’t you live alone?” Asked Whitney.
“I wish. I hate living alone. There are also lots of benefits when you have a roommate” Maureen said.
“You’re right” Jade nodded.
She took out her books, sat on her chair and started going throu-ghwhat they learned that day.
“This is life” Maureen said, and sprawled on Jade’s bed.
She looked at the ceiling and smiled, remembering Clark’s face.
“Clark…” She muttered.
Whitney walked into the bathroom and took her toothbrush from the container.
She took the toothpaste and applied its content on the bristles.
She soon started brushing her teeth while fixing her eyes on the mirror.
She was staring at her mouth. Seeing her li-ps right now made her remember something weird.
“Something is popping up. Maybe the event of last night?” She thought, looking at her red li-ps.
A clear picture of the kis-s scene between her and Desmond rushed into her mind and this made her li-ps part, suddenly in shock.
“Wait? What…What was… Why…Who…What kinda memory was that?? Was that mine?” She asked herself, bulging her eyes out.
“Hey…Whitey? Have…have you gone nuts?? That was your first kis-s?!!” She screamed.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!” Her voice came again louder than before after recollecting the whole drama she had with Desmond.
“What’s wrong with her?” Maureen sprang on her feet.
“Whitney? You okay in there?” Jade knocked.
Whitney was breathing heavily. She swept her hair down with her palm and nodded.
“Yes…I’m fine” She answered.
FANCY RESTAURANT**
“What do you wanna talk about?” Jayden asked carefully, looking at the table between them which had burgers and canned drinks.
“I wanna elaborate more, base on the reason I left you” She replied.
He scoffed.
“After 3 years? You wanna elaborate more,,, now??”
Natalie sighed. “Please, just listen. Why I left was…because of my Dad. Something happened to him. No,,, Us. Something happened to all of us in that family then”
“Then, you could have talked to me about it. Tell me now,,, Let me hear it”
Natalie swallowed hard.
“Actually, My dad was going to a business trip to Beijing, China, to stand as one of the representative of his company”
“But,,, they found ha-rd drugs in my dad’s briefcase when he landed in China” Natalie continued.
“What? How? Your father…He can’t. Was it a mistake or something?” Jayden asked, not believing his ears.
Natalie nodded.
“Yes. It was a mistake. My father kinda took somebody’s else briefcase and someone took him. You wouldn’t blame him though. It looked alike and the briefcase were close to each other”
“So, When my mother heard my father got arrested in China, she ran helter skelter for help but none of the company workers listened to her. Even the heartless CEO himself. They thought he was guilty”
Jayden eyes blinked, sadly.
“So,,, What happened next?” He asked.
“My mother decided to go to China to fight for him. She believed my father wouldn’t do that. I was scared and couldn’t watch my nother live alone so I followed her. I also missed my father. He stayed there for weeks” Natalie said, trying ha-rd not for cry.
“Why…didn’t you tell me all this? Maybe,, I would have un-derstood you. Maybe, I wouldn’t have hated you. Maybe, I would still be in love with you. Maybe, I wouldn’t be a bad boy or something”
“I’m sorry. I was scared to tell you. I didn’t want you getting worried. I didn’t want to discomfort you in your first year. I feared people might know about it too about it and detest me. How would you feel if you saw news and headlines talking about you and I, a girl whom her father is a drug dealer. I couldn’t soil your name in dirt. Especially when your father was trying to get into politics” She answered.
He sighed.
“What about your father now?”
“After thorou-ghinvestigations, we got to the root of it. My father was actually innocent. It took years though, and lots of money. The private detective we hired almost gave up. I also schooled there” She smiled.
Jayden nodded.
“I’m glad everything got resolved. So,, You’re really back?” He asked.
“Yeah. Finally” She nodded.
Jayden nodded.
“Jayden?” She called, softly, breaking the silence.
“Hmm?” He looked at her.
Natalie slowly held his hands which were on the table.
“I…still like you. I want you back. Stop being a play boy. We can have another chance, right?” She asked, slowly.
“I’m now a playboy. A baddie…thanks to you”
“But,,, It’s not really my fault”
“No. Its your fault. Let’s face the truth. Let’s say I forgive and forget what you did to me…Now, It’s no longer your fault. okay?”
Natalie breathed de-eperly.
“What about this? Is it your fault or you still have an explanation for this?” He asked, using his phone.
He clic-ked on the photo app and searched for his oldest picture.
“Who’s he?” He asked coldly and dropped the phone on the table.
She looked at it and he eyes suddenly wide-ned.
In the picture was her, kis-sing some guy.
The camera was not in a better and right angle so the guy’s face was concealed and blurry.
“Now…This kis-s scene happened during the day you went to the airport. Who’s that guy?” He asked.
“Jay…den?” She stuttered.
“Who’s he!!”
Natalie swallowed in fear.
“Who…sent that to you?”
He scoffed.
“I wish I knew cause if I see the person now. I’ll be thankful forever. It was sent by an anonymous if you really wanna know”
“So,,, Natalie. Who’s this guy..This guy you kis-sed that day you broke up with me…That same day at the airport. Who’s he?”
Natalie could only blink her eyed in a fast manner. She was so anxious.
***
Whitney had been sighing numerously that even Jade could tired and disturbed.
She couldn’t get the fact that she lost her first kis-s when she was drunk and to someone she had no regard for.
“What’s on your mind?” Jade asked.
Maureen, on the other hand, had left already to her room.
“Nothing” Whitney replied and bit her lower li-p gently.
“By the way, Tomorrow is Saturday. Dinner with Mum and Liam” Whitney smiled. written by sommy pearl f.
THAT NIGHT**
JAYDEN’S ROOM**
Jayden stalked the facebook user profile that had sent that picture years back.
The kis-s picture between Natalie and the unknown guy.
After she broke up and left him, that same night, while Jayden was crying his eyes out, he received a message via his fb messenger.
He thought it was Natalie and checked it. However, It was a message from an unknown person who wasn’t even in his friend list.
It was the picture which exp-osed Natalie. He was shocked to the core. He messaged the sender countless time but he was ignored, and left on seen.
“Who are you, anonymous?” He thought.
There was no friends, profile info, profile pic and the user name was simply ‘Green Shadow’
TBC
Hmm…Green Shadow. This just got more fun?
Who could Natalie be kis-sing then? Another mystery!??
