Chapter 10

Ylisha's Perspective

 I was wandering on the street as I head our school when Clench appeared in front of me. Grinning like Grinch in the movie “The Grinch.”

“Nasty boy, don't smile like that, my heart is fluttering. I mean it,” I mumbled.

"Why are you smiling like that?" I asked. "Because I'm happy," he replied. I shudder inside as I secretly giggled.

I was startled as he grabs my hand then we continued to walk and hold hands.

I blushed a little bit, this is our first time dating. And him? he is still grinning like crazy, hehe.

Dear tummy, sorry for the butterflies I'm giving you right now. I swear it's not my fault. It 's his.

"You look like you won the lottery," I said.

Then he stopped walking and stood in front of me, then he held my two hands as our eyes joined.

 "I'm just very happy, a lot, because of you, "

My cheeks are burning up, stupid, we're on the public, don't make me shudder.

Sudden raindrops went out on my eyes.

"Wait are you crying? What's wrong?" He looks confused?

 I just hugged him tight,

"I'm just happy, let's go," I mumbled and grabbed his hand and we flee since we're late walking too slow, hehe, it's his fault.

I wanna scold him. Tsk.

“Naughty girl, ” he whispered as he held my hand tighter.

Clench's POV

It's been months since I and Ylisha started dating. I'm too excited to be with her. Damn, like I'm obsessed. I'm nuts, isn't it? Anyway, I have to see her.

"Hey, you're really tall, eh," a familiar voice from a distance. I rolled my eyes around the corridors.

“Oh, it's Ylisha and that man again.” They're teasing each other. And my heart skips a beat, it's twisting.

“Oh! Come on Clench, are you jealous right now? This isn't right he's just a classmate and you're now her boyfriend,” I scolded myself as I glanced at them one more time.

Honestly, they pretty look good together.

Damn, what am I thinking about?

 I hide as I heard students chattering behind me, " Oh my, is that Neil? He is too handsome," she said.

"Yeah! But look, I think she's his girlfriend," the other girl said. It hurts me.

Then I look back at Ylisha and that guy, and breath heavily. "That's okay Clench."

"Oh! I can recognize her, she's the notorious girl back in our elementary days," the girl said.

"Really, notorious?"

" Well yeah, she knocked down boys, she's really strong, that's why everybody is afraid of her, and no one wanted to be friends with her."

"But she looks pretty normal."

"Well, yeah that's right she really grown pretty, and she's totally different from what she was before, she made friends, and she knows how to smile."

“What do you mean?”

“Well, her face always look serious before. Anyway, never mind."

I keep listening to these girls as I look back behind me until they are no longer at my sight, I sigh.

I guess she really didn't have anyone before, we'll probably, I'm the only one who's hanging around her in those days. Haist. So, I must understand how happy she was to be with everyone, and this guy is among them.

"That's why you don't have to get jealous and just be happy with her Clench," I muttered.

I don't know but I just stared at them as they shared stories.

I hated myself being green-eyed, knowing I'm already Ylisha's boyfriend. Then I decided to just leave to put my mind at ease, I felt guilty.

Haiissst! But I can't stop thinking about them.

"Clench, this isn't right!”

Ylisha's POV

 It's already late and Clench didn't show up yet, he won't answer his phone either. I wonder if he will come to fetch me. I sigh as I frowned.

" Hey, Ylisha, are you worried about something? " Neil asked me and I look at him with my eyes wide open, like I was getting my sense back to normal. I'm being paranoid.

"Oh, don't mind me," I answered.

"Okay, by the way, I need to go also, wanna come with me? Let's t's have coffee, bet?" He offered, but I keep on thinking where did Clench possibly go.

"Oh, I'm fine, maybe next time, I'm going to Clench's room, sorry, see you tomorrow," I replied and hurriedly went to Clench's room but he wasn't there.

"Where is he?"

"Hey! Looking for Clench?" A girl asked me, I think she knows me or maybe she's Clench's classmate. I don't know but I don't mind.

"Well yes, fo you know where he went?" I asked.

 "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't, but he already went out earlier," she responded.

"Awww, okay, by the way, thank you."

"Your welcome," she said before leaving me behind.

"Haist, why isn't he's answering his phone?"I muttered.

I keep guessing then, I remember he loves to standby at the library. I instantly went there and keep looking at every desk, but he wasn't here also, I lose hope.

I pouted my lips, “maybe he already went home.”

"But, without telling me?" My gosh! He never did like this before. I'm being paranoid.

"He never goes home without me, or without even telling me."

I wanna go home, feeling upset. But my eyes catch a man at the corner of the shelves, and eventually, I saw him. I sigh.

I went near him and about to scold him but I stopped when I saw him dozing,

 "Stupid guy, you made your girlfriend worry about you while you're here sleeping, hehe, why so cute," I whispered and smirked. My temper went down seeing him like this

I sat beside him. I just watched him sleep.

Then I realized he is getting more handsome than before.

“It's been years since I met you. You're just a cute little boy who saved me, but now, you don't, ”

“Idiot, don't make me worry again," I murmured as I lean my head softly in his shoulders and examined his face.

"I love you" I whispered then my phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

"Ms Ylisha, its Mr A, you need to go home as soon as possible, we have something to do, it's a command from your father."

"Can I not go today?" I asked.

"I'm sorry Ms Ylisha but we really needed you here,"

"But-" he cut-out my words.

"Where are you? I will pick you up."

I covered my phone for a minute and look back at Clench. I can't wake him.

I'm sure he will ask me who was the one who picks me up, that's not a good idea.

"Clench, I'm sorry," I whispered and kissed him in his forehead making sure he won't wake up.

"I'm here at the school library, I will be out in ten minutes please, wait for me outside, "

"Okay, I'll be there soon," Mr A answered then I hanged up.

I watch Clench one more time when I saw the girl, the girl from before.

I stand up and called her.

"Hey," I said and smiled at her.

"Oh, hey, have you seen Clench already?" she asked.

"Well, yeah, he's there sleeping like a baby," I said and pointed at him, then she giggled.

"Yeah, looks like a baby, " she whispered.

I don't know what supposed to react as she agrees too.

 I guess, she found him cute. I didn't mind it.

"By the way, I'm Ylisha, can I ask you for a favour? " I said and breathed heavily.

"Oh, I'm Sandara, yeah sure, you look like worried, what is it?" she asked.

Clech's POV

I woke up, and I notice someone sitting in front of me, but since I just woke up, my vision is clouded, but I'm sure it's a girl.

"Ylisha?" I asked.

"Oh no, It's me Sandara," the girl answered, so I hurriedly wiped my eyes because of inquisitiveness. "Why is she sitting in front of me, like she's waiting for me to wake up?"

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I curved my eyes.

"Aww, I'm sorry, but your girlfriend asked me a favour," she answered. "Ylisha? Is it her?"

"My girlfriend?" I asked.

"Well, yeah, her name is Ylisha, she's your girlfriend, isn't it? I saw you two since the first day of school, you're always together, means you're in a relationship, am I right?" She replied.

"Awww, were just friends before but we still together, but we are" I pause realizing she didn't have to know that thing. It's not important.

"What do you just say?" she asked.

" Oh nothing, yeah, she's my girlfriend. Where did she go?"

"Oh, that's what I'm about to inform you, "

"What?" I confusedly asked.

"She already left, and told me to give you this when you woke up." She held me a letter.

 "What is this??" I asked her.

"She gave it to me, I think she doesn't want to wake you up, and she looks like she's in a hurry," Sandara said to me.

I just got the letter and stand up, I'm confused why did she didn't wake me up, she can still wake me up even if she's in a hurry.

"Is she's with someone?" I asked Sandara, and she looks at me curiously like, I am referring to someone.

"Oh, never mind," I said when she did not respond at me.

"By the way thank you," I said and I'm about to leave when she started to talk,

"She wasn't with someone else, honestly, she's with you while your sleeping, she's happily watching you awhile ago."

"Oh, really."

"Yeah, by the way, I need to go since, my mission is completed, and don't worry so much she looks like she absolutely loves you so much," she said and walk out the library waging at me as a sign of goodbye.

I don't know what she pointing about then I remembered the letter. And I opened it.

  Hey, I'm sorry for not waking you up, I'm sure you're at bizarre how I met Sandara, I met her while looking for you a while ago. I actually wanted to wake you up but something urgent happened at our house, I don't want to disturb you, you look so tired, I'm sorry! I will make up with you tomorrow for leaving you out there.

I'm afraid I can't talk to you on the phone later.

I love you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 

                       - Ylisha-

I didn't know what to react, I'm worried about what happened at there house and I wanna understand that but at the same time I'm feeling sad.

She can still wake me up, I can even rashly walk her home.

 It's already 12 am and I can't contact her. She's not even answering her phone. I'm madly worried about her. But I couldn't do anything. But my heart sinks.

"What is this indescribable pain? She already informed me that she might not have time to talk to me on the phone but I can't stop thinking about her."

"Ylisha, at least just tell me what happened," I whispered.

*************

The clock tick-tocks and still, I couldn't sleep, and I somehow felt upset.

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep to at least reduce the pain I feel right now.
