Chapter 4

"Thank God it's Friday! Someone really needs some rest you know" Gabriella said to Cassandra as they eat at the school's cafeteria.

"Wow... Look who we have here..." Kenneth said as he sat beside Cassandra.

"Uhmmmm let's leave this place Gabriella" Cassandra said standing up but Kenneth pulled her down.

"you can't leave while I'm sitting here you know... It's going to be a disgrace on my personality and I won't go easy on you if you do that " Kenneth leaned in and whispered to Cassandra.

"Kenneth, let her go" Gabriella said angrily.

"Oh come on Gabriella, stay out of this. And I will advice you to go away and leave me with the girl" Kenneth replied.

Gabriella stood up, dragged Cassandra and started running.

"Let's stay here " Gabriella said as they entered the library.

...

As Kenneth was about to step into the library someone blocked his way.

"Liam.... Stop being boring for once" Kenneth said looking annoyed.

"I will advice you to stay away from that girl" Liam said with a straight face.

"And if I don't?" Kenneth asked.

"Just give it a try" Liam said with a wicked smirk.

"Well then, let me let her be for today... But you need to know that I can't and won't stay away from her" Kenneth said and left.

....

Inside the library, Cassandra stood still wondering if it was his voice or someone else's... Could it be that he came to save her again?

"I think he is gone... Let's go" Gabriella said and they both went out of the library.

Liam stepped into the school's studio and stood there for a while wondering why he also has the urge to protect that girl. "Sigh, I guess I will have to keep avoiding you"... He said.

....

On Saturday evening, Gabriella stood outside the school wondering why Cassandra hasn't shown up. Could it be that something happened?" I guess I should give her a call" Gabriella said. As she brought out her phone, she saw her coming.

"I'm so sorry girl... I was a little bit busy at home" Cassandra said with an apologetic smile.

"Next time try to do things on time" Gabriella scolded her playfully.

"Ok mom..." Cassandra said playfully.

"Good... Let's go in" Gabriella said and they both went into the school's hall. A boy was on stage singing but Cassandra could not pay much attention to him because she was surprised that Gabriella took them to the front and two chairs were there. It seems like those chairs were reserved for important guests.

"Sit" Gabriella said pointing to the other chair as she sat on the other.

"Uhmmmm, whose concert is it? " Cassandra asked curiously as she sat down.

"My brother's. Why did you ask?" Gabriella replied .

"Nothing..." Cassandra said.

Looking closely, Cassandra felt like the person on stage seems familiar, but she could not see his face because he was wearing a hat. After a while, The song ended and people were clapping and cheering.

"Your brother is an amazing singer" Cassandra said.

"Oh yeah... I'm always proud of Liam you know" Gabriella replied with pride.

Liam,... Yes that's his name. How did she even forget. Turning to look at him, Cassandra freezed as their eyes met and he smiled at her.
