CHAPTER 23
CLOSENESS
Louise
When I reach the school's gate I saw Kris waiting for someone near the gate. He keeps looking on his wristwatch then looks again on the gate so I thought maybe his waiting for someone for too long. I went to his direction to asks him who's his waiting because he's not with our friends. When I'm on half way to his direction, he looks up and saw me.
He went up to me and grab my things so he's the one carry my things. "So really went early in the school that's why I went early, too. Coz I want to know what's time you arrive at school so we can go here together" he said. "Did you wait for too long?" I asked him so he looks at me before answering my question. "Not long enough. I just arrive here fifteen minutes ahead onto you" he answered sincerely so I just smile at him then look directly at the hallway again.
We decide to spend our time left before the first class starts on the library to have an advance reading. After a while there are students occupied the seats left on our table. We look up and saw it's just are friends while smiling so widely at us. "How did you know that were here?" I asked them. "It's just a coincidence that we want to went here in the library and then we saw guys so we just sit on the remaining seats in your table" Miks said still smiling so widely.
"Ate Miks, can you just stop pretending? Do you think we won't notice that you guys are following us?" Kris said to his sister coldly. "I know that you guys are following like a creepy stalker since I'm going to school" he said again while reading a book. "Don't worry bro it won't happen again. Were very sorry to what happen" Gio said sincerely. "Fine, I'm sorry and I promise that it won't happen again. I'm just wondering why you will be going at school so early and you bring your own car so that's a miracle. We decided to follow you around and I'm very sorry to the two of you" Miks said with a peace sign.
"You know guys that you don't have to follow us around because you can join us. I hope that you won't do it again coz it's so creepy I thought we will be kidnap or something. I felt so nervous and afraid" I said and smile shyly at them. "Oh, I'm sorry! We didn't intend to frighten you" Jenny said with a pout.
Kristoffe
I woke up early so I can go to the school early to know what's time she's arriving at school. I'm surprise because I arrive at six fifteen in the morning then fifteen minutes later she arrives. I grab her things so she won't be worn-out bringing a lot of things for their biology presentation. While were walking to library we notice that someone is following us. I look at the back lightly and I saw them so they immediately hide on the walls.
Maybe, they expecting that we won't notice and caught them following around us. They follow us until we went inside the library and now, they are apologizing at us. "Wait Lou, why do you have a lot of bruises and wounds in your and arms? What happen to you?" Miks said and stood up to went to her so she can saw carefully her injuries. I saw how she avoid my sister's grasps and look away so we can't see her wounds and bruises.
"Lou, who did this to you? The scratches and marks of her nails are very visible on your smooth and silky white skin" Jenny asked with a concern in her voice. "We are 100 % sure that you don't have that before we sent you home yesterday" Gav said seriously and looking at her. I notice that she's crying so I just hug her to comfort her. I'm sure that she's hiding something and if she won't tell us about it then I have no choice so I will ask their driver about it. We all sure that yesterday before we sent her home that she doesn't have any wounds.
"Okay, if can't tell us about it for now but were waiting for you to open up until today" Gio said seriously. "Can you move out Kris we will just treat her wounds and bruises and we will put concealer on her bruises so the others won't notice it" Miks said that's why I move out hesitantly. They finish treating her injuries exactly on bell rings so we walk them until on their room.
I can't understand why she experience that kind of thing while she is a very nice person. She follows what her parents wants even though she didn't really like it. She takes a business management course because her parents want it for her. If she did a mistake it can be resolve by talking about it not to the extent that they will hurt her physically.
After my last class, I went to the parking lot to look for tay Victor, Lou's driver. When I saw him, I immediately went to him. "Hello, tay! Can we talk? When your available" I said to him seriously. "You're our princess friend, right? What's the agenda of our appointment?" he asked while looking at me seriously. "Yeah, I'm one of her friend. I just want to ask you about her welfare and how did she get her bruises and wounds" I said seriously.
He exhaled deeply and look at me directly. "Okay. Here's my number so I can text you where we can meet. We can't talk here coz I know someone's watching us" he said and gave his number at me. "Can you please not tell her about this?" I asked him. "Sure, you won't know about this" he said with a smile.
I hope that by tomorrow she is ready to tell us what she's hiding and what really happen to her. Base on how she acts earlier, I know that it's not the first time that it happens and she keeps on hiding what the suspect do to her. I and my siblings grow up while my parents are busy handling our business yet they make time for us. They don't even let us to be bite by mosquito. That's why, it really hurts thinking that her parents don't mind what happen to her.
