Charles went to find Betty. She was under the tree reading.
"Hi pretty lady"
"Charles...you seem to be in a good mood"
"Yes...ready to fight for my angel"
"That's sweet"
"By the way how is she"
"She's getting stronger by today She'll be fine"
"Hmm OK"
She went back to her books.
"So can I go and see her" she glanced at him twitching her eye brows.
"sorry to ask..."
"you seem eager to see her"
"Yes I can't bare to loose her"
"Am glad she found someone who truly Loves her"
He smiled.
"Let's go to class" she added and he followed her.
Ashley was disturbed through out the day. Stella met her lost in thoughts
"Hey Ashley"
Ashkey turned to her and sighed
"What's wrong?"
"Its Charles"
"What did he do this time?"
"He's going after lily!"lily
"Lily? which lily?"
"Which other lily"
"Why would he go after her?!"
"I don't know but why are you so upset?" Ashley asked Stella noticing the change in her mood.
"Uh...nothing...just that....your my friend.....and anything that hurts you hurts me..." she said stammering
"Oh....but what will I do"
"....Go and warn lily....I'll keep an eye on him"
"Thanks Stella your a good friend" she hugged her
"Anything for you dear"
Stella left her and went in search of Charles, she found him with Betty
"Hey charles can I talk to you!" she asked meanly
He glared at her and continued with what he was doing
"Charles!"
"What!"
"Is it true you are with lily?!" he stared at her while Betty glanced at them both
"Yes I am" he answered without hesitation
"How....y...." she left them and ran out
"What was that!"
"Forget them" he replied with finality in his voice.
Betty nodded and they continued with their work.
Ashley went to Lily's room. She knocked but no one answered, she turned to go but met Betty and Charles coming. Her heart skipped a beat and she Hid.
"You sure about this Betty"
"I am" she encouraged him patting him on the shoulder.
He hugged her feeling stressed out.
Ashley blazed in anger. They walked in before she could step out. She ran out to meet her friend Stella. "How are you doing lily?!"
"Am fine...Charles..!" she froze
"Lily calm down"
"Lily please" Charles knelt down
"Forgive me if I have done anything to you please stop Treating me like this" he begged
Lily and Betty watched Charles beg like a little child. Lily couldn't say or move. She just sat there frozen.
"I....OK.." she replied
He looked up feeling so excited
"Thank you lily"
Lily was expecting him to ask for a hug or to give him a chance but he didn't. He just knelt down
"You can stand up please" he smiled as he stood up
"Goodnight lily" he smiled walking out
Betty was shocked
"How could he leave so early without nothing" she thought
Lily glanced at Betty and laid on her shoulders
"That was unexpected" Betty sighed
