• Kylie's POV 
“ Talk, I'm waiting.” I said folding my arms on my chest while tapping my right foot on the floor, feeling impatient. 
“ Oh yeah. What did I want to say ? ” He said forming a thinking face, rubbing his chin.
I snorted. “ Am I the one that is supposed to tell you ? ”
“ I did not ask you to, I'm trying to remember.” He said with an eye roll.
“ Okay, please remember fast. I'm missing class.”
“ I can't.”
“ Huh ? ”
“ I can't remember, so you can go to class. Sorry for dragging in you here, for no reason. Please accept my apologies.”
I broke into laughter finding what he said amusing but at the same time, confusing.
I'm very sure he wants to say something but he later changed his mind.
Oh God this is annoying, he can't just drag me here for no reason.
“ You can't remember ? Do you have amnesia ? ”
“ Maybe I do.” He said with a shrug.
“ Oh really ? Okay then. I have the perfect treatment for you.” I said giving him a mischievous smile.
“ What treatment ?” 
“ Oh you will see. The treatment is really effective.” I picked up the mop stick that was beside me, laying on the floor.
I held it walking slowly to him, while moved back corresponding with each step I took forward.
“ What are you going to do with that ?” He said eyeing the mop that was on my hand.
“ To cure your amnesia, it is a fast remedy.” I said and hit him with a little force on his head.
I don't want him dying in my hands.
“ Ouch. It hurts, is that your foolish remedy ? ” He said rubbing the spot on his head that I hit.
“ Yes, that is my foolish remedy. This is just the beginning, there is more to come and it is very painful... Trust me after I'm done, you will instantly remember what you want to say.” I said and hit him again.
He pushed me slightly like he did not want me to fall then he ran out of the closet escaping from me.
“ Eric, you better come and receive your treatment.” I said running after him in the hallways.
“ I'm not interested.” He shouted, he was already far ahead of me.
But I was determined to catch him, I hate it when someone tell me that they want to tell me something later they will not talk. 
I'm going to give him the beating of his life that will make him say what he wanted to say or the reason why he dragged me into the janitor's closet.
I ran into Ray, hitting him with the mop stick I was holding making him to fall on the floor.
“ Oh my God, I'm so sorry.” I said helping him up.
“ It is okay.” He said as he stood up.
“ Sorry.”
“ Why were you running in the hallway holding a mop stick ?” 
He collected the mop stick from me and threw it on the floor with a thud.
“ Were you chasing someone ?”
“ Yeah, I was chasing...” I looked at the front hoping to see if Eric is still in the hallway but he is not there.
He is lucky, he successfully escaped from me.
...Eric.” I told him.
“ Eric ? Why ?  What did he do ? ”
Gosh he asked too many questions.
“ He dragged me into the janitor's closet...”
“ You guys had sex.” He said with his hand covering his mouth giving me a teasing look with his eyebrows wiggling.
I crunched my face in disgust. “ Eew ! Why will you think of such ? Even if I want to have sex, it will not be in janitor's closet. It will be so disgusting.” I shivered in disgust.
He laughed. “ Oh really ? ” He said.
“ Yeah.” I said tucking my lips in.
I released it and said. “ I wonder why you will think of such, your mind is so dirty.”
He let out a slight chuckle. “ So what were the both of you doing there ? ”
“ He dragged me in there without my consent, he said he want to talk with me only for him to say he has forgotten. What kind of dude does that ? ”
“ Eric's kind.” He said laughing.
I rolled my eyes.
“ Then Eric's kind is really annoying.”
He laughed.
“ I wonder what he will wanted to say.”
“ I know.”
“ Huh ? ”
“ I know what he want to say to you.”
I also know what he want to tell me but I want him to say it.
“ Really ? Then what did he want to say ? Tell me.”
“ Don't be in a haste, I will tell you. Eric actually wanted to tell you I think but he later changed his mind not to since you two are friends, so he is scared of her knowing the truth.” He said.
“ What truth ? ”
“ I'm sure you know about their relationship.”
“ Do I ? ” I said raising my eyebrows.
“ Yes you do or do you want to lie that you don't ? ”
“ Do I ? ”
He glared at me and I chuckled.
“ Okay fine I do. I know about their once beautiful relationship which was nothing to Eric but something to Elle. He broke her heart in an unimaginable way. Can't he just say let's break up, I'm tired of the relationship rather than humiliating her, telling her right to her face that everything they had, shared was all a fake to him. He sees it as nothing, if you are the one, won't your heart be broken ? ”
 “ It is not even up to a week you spent in this school and you have already know what happened here.” He said with a laugh.
“ Yeah, I'm always up-to-date.” I said with an eye roll.
He chuckled. “ But what you don't know is that he did not mean what he said to her.”
I gave him a confused look. “ What do you mean by that ? So what exactly prompt him to say such hurtful words to her ? ”
“ His father.” that was his reply.
“ Huh ? His father ? How does his father relate to this issue ? ”
“ His father made him break up with her.”
“ Please enlighten me more.” I said with my arms crossed on my chest.
“ He was betrothed to a girl he is yet to know from birth. His father knew about his relationship with Elle, he threatened Eric to breakup with her saying it will jeopardize his future marriage. Eric was head heels over her that he was not bothered about the fact his father is threatening him to take all his inheritance away for him. But not until his father tampered with Elle's father's business, got him arrest for fraud that he did not commit. Framed their family company, threatened him with their life. He told him that if he did not break up with her, he would destroy her and her entire family's life. He could not bring himself to end things with her...”
“ But he could bring himself to say hurtful words that shattered her.” I shouted in agony, remembering all she told me. I began to dislike Eric.
“ He had no choice than to do so.” He shouted defensively.
I scoffed. “ Really ? How am I sure you are not making this up ? ”
“ I am not. If you want to be sure I am not then ask Elle if her father went to prison or if their company suffered bankruptcy or if her family have ever experienced a near death situation ? Ask her all that then you will be sure, I'm not lying.”
“ Why are you telling me ? I thought you said Eric does not want her to know, so why then are you telling me ? ” I said raising my brows quizzically.
“ Eric did not want to tell what he wanted to say because he knows he will blurt out the truth and if he does, you will tell Elle about it which will endanger her life again. So why am I telling you ? I hate seeing Eric suffer, he has suffered so much. ”
“ How ? ” I said with a scoff.
“ He took drugs, he became an alcoholic. Slept with different girls all just to forget about her but it was so difficult. If not because of us who helped him , he would have still being doing all of those things even if he is still whoring around but it was not as much as it was before.”
“ It is not as much as Elle's suffering...”
“ I know she took drugs.” He said cutting me off.
Hmph ! That was rude.
“ Hopefully she didn't , she only smokes which will be easy to overcome, I think. Anyways that day    brought a lot of a pain, mentally, emotionally, physically and socially. At least Eric has a friend to lean on, she does not. Nobody to help her through, all she got was insults but thankfully a little bundle of joy came to her that was the only thing that made her smile. So I want to be that friend that she never had and she'd wish she had. I want to be the friend for her to lean on, cry on my shoulder and help her through difficult times also to move on from and forget her pain. So she will be okay.”
“ Then tell what I told you, tell her that. It will really go a long way to save them from both their sufferings.” He said
I laughed.
I noticed  his confused look, he was wondering why I laughed.
I also don't know why I laugh, it just came out from my mouth.
“ So what makes you think I will tell her ? ”
“ Because you like her.”
“ Yes I do, that is why I'm not telling her. You said that Eric did not want her to know because he does not want her and her family to be in danger. So why should I ? ”
“ To stop their suffering and fight for their love.”
“ That's sweet but putting her life in danger and other people. I won't risk it, if they are destined to be together, fate always has its way. They will surely be. But I am not going meddle in their affairs because if anything happen to her, I will blame myself.”
“ If you want them to fight, then tell her yourself, why can't you ? ”
“ Because it is not my story to tell.”
“ So it is mine ?” I retorted.
I love you bell.
It chose the right time to ring.
“ It is time for my next class, I can't afford miss another class today, see you later.” I said feeling his piercing gaze on me as I walk away to class.
~~~
The school has already end for today. I went to the spot that Elle's driver do wait for her to come.
Her driver was the only one in it.
Phew! Thank God.
I knocked the window glass, it rolled down.
“ Hello sir.” I said greeting an old man who was wearing a driver's uniform. 
“ Hi Kylie, where is Elle ? ” He asked me.
“ She is coming, she said I should wait for her in the car.” I lied.
May the Lord have mercy on me.
“ Okay.... The door is unlocked.” He smiled.
I opened the door and entered.
When I saw her coming, I bent my head lowly to prevent from seeing since it is not tinted.
The driver did not take the tinted one.
The door opened and she entered, she did not notice I was there.
I rose my head up and fake a cough.
She turned to face me then scream.
I joined her screaming.
This is surely going to be a bumpy ride.
