"Thanks for the initiative bro...I didn't know you could do that so fast. If it were up to me, I would wait till the first sequential examination and ask her for help before we could ever be alone" James said as he scratched his head in embarrassment.
" You're welcome bro , but what was all that at table? What were you guys blushing about?" Chris asked as he put on his full teasing mode.
"Bro...I don't know where that surge of courage came from but I just asked her out on a shopping date and she agreed..." James said with little stats in his eyes.
"You did? Did you guys agree to go on a date?"
"No, well...I just proposed to take her out for shopping and she said yes."
"That was fast, I had already planned our next step but you guys are already going at a faster pace. I guess I will have to leave it here then...my work is over...good luck for the next" Chris said.
Though he was happy for his friends he was sad because he didn't get to tease James enough.
"Okay...I guess I should be leaving. I've got a date to plan. See you later bro."
And like that James left. Chris, feeling bored decided to check his text messages. He quickly opened his school forum and noticed the way text messages kept on coming in. When he decided to talked a look at things, he was not disappointed when he realized that the students in the forum were discussing some pointless matters and making assumptions on how their school year will be and stuff going that way.
But something sticker out most was the picture of the new student 'So she finally got out of that car' Chris thought. He scrolled in the chats and nothing interested him anymore. He checked out his friends chat where Samantha, James Jones and himself are the only participants. There he could only smile at the bickering that was taking place between James and Jones. After a while, he got his dose of happiness for that evening so he decided to sleep. After his evening prayer, he soon fell asleep with a sly smile lingering on his lips at the thought of the girl in the car who has been haunting his thoughts ever since he set his eyes on her.
JAMES' FLASHBACK
James lives in a large two storey house like Chris' home but bigger. He lives with his younger sister and father. His mother died very long ago in a car accident where his younger sister was the only survivor.
Since then their lives took another turn, sour at first. Their father got another job opportunity soon after burying his wife. The desperate man just lost his job when his wife died but soon found a better paying one when he buried her. They had to move out to restart their lives and from then everything got better by the days. James grew fond of his younger sister and closer to his dad.
SAMANTHA'S FLASHBACK
Samantha is a young slender average height and cream colored skin girl. She has long white hair that glistens in the morning sun. She looks fragile and all but she is tougher on the inside which scored her points mostly with the boys. She is equally a brilliant student but not so much when it comes to love. She lives away from her parents since they are both divorced. She leaves in a small apartment she rents close to her school. Her parents still send her money for allowance and rents. She lives on her own ever since she got enrolled into college. She's gotten used to that life.
