A Planned Outing

"Brother, how's academy going?" Alisha asked, her eyes staring straight ahead. Her heart-beat echoed in her ears, she wanted to glance at him... but didn't knew if she should or not.

"Fine." Helkep replied calmly, his eyes also staring straight ahead.

His eyes glanced at Alisha's shadow, who was walking in front of him, his lips trembled as he pondered for a while before asking calmly, "How's your school going?"

"Good, as always! I am currently in the top 200." Alisha blinked her eyes while staring at Helkep's handsome face. Her eyes flickering slightly as she took in his image... so clearly and closely after who knows when.

"That's a huge jump from 2000 to 200. Congratulations!" Helkep stared at her warm eyes which beamed gently while staring at him.

"Hehe!" A small chuckle escape her lips, she slowed down her pace and walked shoulder-to-shoulder with him, "You won't believe me when I say this but I am not even trying!" Alisha grinned widely.
