7     THE SUDDEN REVELATION

When i got to school the next day, i walked around all school looking for my silly friend Kathryn. I couldn't believe she made me walk the whole school just to find her, and finally i found her at the rooftop (only God knows what she is doing there all only). As i draw closer to her, i sighted someone else squatting in front of her (okay let me not disturb.) Then i suddenly stop i couldn't believe my it was one of Jordan's friends Christopher. What are they talking about, i thought to myself as i stood my a corner watching all this scenario play out. Then suddenly he stood up and try to hug Kathryn ( well that was unexpected) but till i stood there just in case something important happen and Kathryn might refuse to tell. Kathryn pushed him away (that's my girl) and ran towards me. I was totally confused, i didn't know maybe to run or hide, then i made up my mind and ran down the stairs down to the hallway into my classroom and sat down on by desk and pretended like nothing happened. Oh my God! It was a terrible journey.

Just a minute later, Kathryn walked into the class and gave me a hug like nothing happened (what a great pretender). She sat down on what was once Jordan's sit and face me staring at me desperately.

"What?!

"Christopher asked me out."

I was expecting that line of topic but i till don't want to hear anything about it. I looked up to her with a questioning look. So?

"I refused him." She replied feeling irritated by my respond. "I can't possibly date a guy who bully my best friend."

"What a considerate friend." I jokingly proclaim and rolled my eyes. "That's by the way...guess who i saw yesterday?

"Your aunt...

"Hahaha! How funny." I sarcastically said. "Will you be serious for once in your life."

"Just tell me, i can't think straight right now."

I can't believe she's one of the top student in my class, she doesn't even try in making effort when it comes to matters that recommend using of the brain. Whatever, i can't careless.

"I saw clare..."

"Oh my Ggggg!!! She excitedly exclaimed as she jumped on my desk drawing the attention of the whole class. "What did you say to him...oh my God! How long as it been... it's the main cause of you been bullied."

Like seriously, right now. Why must she always bring the bullying part to every discussion, she sure knows how to rub salt in my wounds.

"What did he say? She asked excitedly.

"Nothing much...we just exchanged numbers..."

"That's a good start." She cut me shut with her words. She is even excited than me in question. "Don't worry, I Know it will work out this time... fighting."

"I..."

Then this time, i was cut shut by my maths teacher sudden appearance, and the day started off with his face.

After school that day, Kathryn decided to walk me saying her parents were not in town.

"Christopher told me something... about Jordan" my whole world stop at the mention of that name, i turned to her anxiously for her to continue her story. "Jordan's parent are having a divorce."

"Oh!!! That's the only thing that came out of my mouth, i couldn't bring myself to say more.

"His mom took him with her...and he gave a strict instruction not to mess with you while his gone..."

She kept ranting on and on but i care less, right now i just want to go home and be warmly welcome by my bed. Those information was alot to swallow, i was always thinking maybe there was a misunderstanding somewhere and Jordan will come back. But it's just clear to me that am dreaming.

"Hey, are you alright?

"Of course...why won't i be? I asked her back to avoid awkward situations.

"Well, since clare is back...why don't you focus on him for now." She advised

"I will think about it." I replied, i just wish she could shut up so i can think straight.

"What if Jordan doesn't feel the same way? That question hit me right in the heart, i felt my heartbeat increase as i stop walking and turned to meet Kathryn stare.

"Why are you this messed up?! I screamed out in anger.

"I just want you to face reality..."

"Reality my foot" i cried out and walked away from her before she makes me do what i will regret. "Just go home."

"Okay, am sorry." She screamed out beyind me but i was so peeved to listen to her nonsense. God! She's so so annoying, where did i go wrong in picking a friend.

Immediately i got home, i ran a cold shower down my body to cool down my burning brain. After that i collapse on my bed nake, who cares, am home alone anyways. I just need some quality time to myself, then my phone peeped and a message displayed on my screen. What great timing, i murmured as i took my phone to check who it was.

"Wanna hangout with me tomorrow after school." clare is written bolding on the top of my screen as the sender.

How should i reply, i kept contemplating. Clare was my child sweetheart, i had a huge crush on him until i met Jordan that faithful day. I don't know, of all time to notice me, why must it be now. After some high level of thinking, i finally replied with heavy heart.

"Am sorry, can't make it." Sent.

One problem solved, many more left. My mind wonder off to what Kathryn asked me, why did she all of a sudden asked that? I just don't know why, did Christopher say something to her? Should i ask her? Oh God! Am so so confused. Maybe it's for the best if i don't over think it, there till a possibility he might have even if it's a tiny drop of feeling for me.

I kept consoling myself like a fool all through the night, my mind will just not rest. God! What kind of stubborn mind did you give me, why can't it go blank for once.

Since you won't calm down and sleep doesn't want to come, let me start with a movie maybe it will help. God please let it help.

I sat down watching movies into the night casting away my problem, probably just for the main time until my silence questions are answered.
