Chapter 7 - Thanks

It's been 2 weeks after the incidents of Ava and Hazel.

Hazel has tried so much not to get into trouble these days, because for the past few weeks she has been the talk of the time, some people looking at her with disgust, admination and so on.

She decided to keep her business privately.

since then she hasn't been able to return back the clothes she collected from him because of some project they've been running for the past two weeks and she hopes he doesn't ask for it anytime soon, she isn't ready to face anybody.

After lectures, everyone left for their house except their department because they have a practical to run, so Rose had to go without her.

After the practical, everyone left for home but Hazel decided finish up her note before leaving, so the teacher handed the key of the practical room to her.

When you are done lock here and bring the key to my office tomorrow.

Ok Ma. She replied to the teacher.

After some minutes, she was done with writing, she packed her bag, walked out and made sure she locked the door tightly before leaving.

As she was walking, she saw some under a big tree reading.

On a closer look she realized that it was him.

What is he doing here? She asked as she walked to him.

Hey! She greeted

Kelvin lifted his head to see her. What are you doing here?

I should be asking you that, because we were just done with practical, what about you?

Just reading. He replied

Reading? Weird! You can actually read at home, are you not scared? Only you in this school?

Am used to it, it's late you better start going.

I will keep you company for a while. She said as she dropped her handkerchief on the floor and sat on it.

What are you reading. She said as she stretched her neck to see the content of the book.

You read every time, that's why the call you "smart".

How have you been able to adjust to the new environment? He asked

Settling well. .....she replied

***************************

Ava was so restless at home, she called her friends so the can help her sort things out.

Three weeks from now is his birthday and she wants something special for him.

She's just being indecisive on what to get.

She called her friends and they decided to meet at her condo in school to decide on a special present.

When Ava got there, she was so shocked to see the both laughing like the world is just theirs. She knows he stays here sometimes and she was also hoping to see him but not like this.

She angrily stormed out of the school premises, to meet her friends coming in.

Forget about it we will meet tomorrow, she said angrily.

Why don't I help you? They turned to see a student who just came out of the school premises.

How? Ava asked

Let's do it, just me and you.....the stranger said, hinting that her friends should go.

****************************

They talked about lots of things and Kelvin was laughing hard because Hazel is too good of a comedian

Thanks.....he said

For?..Hazel asked

Making me laugh...

It's no big deal, right? She asked looking at him closely.

Ever since my little sister died, I haven't laughed this much.

Oh, no problem, I hope you laugh and smile more, the world needs your cute smile....she complimented him.

Let's go, it's late.

Ok, she said as stood up so did he.

I will drive you home.....he offered

You need not to worry, am good

I insist.

What a day of open and close. Said the security man to the other security.

He opened the car for her and she entered, he walked to the driver's sit, opened it, started it and drove off.

Thanks, she said when the got home

Any time.

Less I forget, let me get you the clothes

Take it, you need not to worry

Uhhhm, i

Insist. He finished it up

See you tomorrow, she got down from the car, waved at him before going inside.

Kelvin was there for a while, he has been watching some one being sneaky for a while, he's eyes has been on the man with a cap covering part of the face.

He followed him.
