CRUSH

Kaylee looked outside the plane window, there was a beautiful view down there. It is a wide blue sea surrounded by a green color, 'maybe land or even a forest', she thought. She felt someone's arm suddenly on her lap and she turned to look at her side. Her younger sister, Laura had fallen asleep beside her. Her cute innocent face was bright under the plane's artificial light. She removed the arm gently from her lap and placed it on Laura's lap instead. She sighed before she brought out her phone to check out her messages. Her friend, Sam has been texting her all day since they left Manhattan but Kaylee wasn't in the mood to talk at all. She sighed for the umpteenth time before she switched off her phone and placed it in her trouser's back pocket. She looked across her and Laura's row at her Dad and she saw that he was fast asleep as well. She brought her headphone which was at her neck to her ears and closed her eyes slowly, not sleeping but resting. The flight was finally over and

The sun shone so brightly for the winter season. Superstitiously, you could say it bit people's flesh. Most people were even discouraged to go out of their houses to jog but those who could not afford to miss their daily routine or we could say, those that were used to it, got out of their homes to jog a little... Kavinsky jogged for some while before jogging back home since it was too sunny and he could not take it any longer. He was dirty from all his sweat. He met his mom watching TV in the sitting room and he went to peck her on the cheek. "You need a long shower, boy", she said and laughed at him "Am an adult, mom. And also, have you been outside? It's like two thousand degrees out there", he complained. "You still need one", she said again, teasing him. "I know", he said in frustration and walked up the stairs. He took a shower immediately he got upstairs and changed from the top and shorts of his sport topped with his black trainer shoes into a blue v- neck top and black

Kavinsky got down from the cab and carried his laundry basket along with him. He entered the waiting room and went directly to the receptionist behind the marble cabinet. She was typing something away on her computer when he got there. He knocked twice on the cabinet to gain her attention. Tthe he receptionist looked up and grinned immediately she saw who it was. "Kavinsky", she called out with a smile plastered to her face and stood up from her seat. "Hi, am here to drop some clothes", he said, going straight to the point. "Oh!", she said sharply, somewhat disappointed. "But of course, you are in a dry cleaning company, so-", she added immediately and trailed off . "Yeah, obviously", Kavinsky replied nonchalantly. "Pass it here, I will make the arrangements quickly", she said beckoning at

Vanessa pulled Kavinsky up when she saw that he was not intending to stand up, away from this lowly-looking girl. "She can do it herself", Vanessa said with a shrug and rolled her eyes. Kaylee got up and Stiles asked from beside her if she was okay. "I am fine", she replied before an announcement was made all over the school speakers. "Kaylee Blaine, please report to the principal's office. Kaylee Blaine, please report to the principal's office", the announcement was made twice before it stopped and only the echo from the announcement lingered against the school walls. "Let me accompany you there", Stiles offered calmly "No, it's fine. I can go myself", she said and turned to leave. She soon arrived at the Principal's door and knocked three times on it. "Come in", Mr. Bull, the principal's voice was heard from the other side of the door. Kaylee pressed down the door handle and walked in. She met Mr. Bull sitting behind his table having coffee while he is checking some paper h

Kavinsky ran downstairs and met his Dad alive and well. He checked around for any cut or injury on his body and saw none. He looked only at his father, oblivious to what stood beside his father. All he cared about at that moment was his father. He stood there in anger. He realized he had been tricked but why?? His mother laughed and laughed till her cheeks hurt. "You should have seen the way he ran, honey", she said in between laughs and went to stand beside her husband. "What did you say to him?", Mr. Mark asked. He was curious to know what would make his son run down the stairs like that. "That you got into an accident", Mrs. Mark said and smiled. "An accident? Me?", Mr. Mark asked in shock. "Why would you even think of saying that?", he asked in disappointment. "Uh oh!", Mrs. Mark realized it wasn't a funny matter anymore and her laughter died down. "I was just-", she started but was cut off by Kavinsky's loud voice. She secretly thanked God that Kavinsky had chosen that t
