Days turn into weeks and weeks turned into months , Nathan and azael learned alot about each other, Nathan was relieved when he found out azael was just friends with Sylvie and after knowing azael they became friends too , forming a group of 3 as Sylvie joined Azael to avoid Williams and leonor because they were friends with april .they got so close that they eat together,they study ,the two boys joined the drama club to support her and they created a Whatsapp group just the three of them to chart about things in and even out of the school. All this times Nathan was busy learning about her ,he took note of the things she likes likes and dislikes,her reactions to different situations and everything he needed to know ,he isn't the expressive type but from time to time he will ask her questions,like if they were buying food he will try to pay attention to what she takes .being close to her only made him confirm his feelings as everyday that passes by he kept on falling deeply for her but he didn't just confess immediately in other not to scare her . After months of friendship,he decided that since she already trust him and feels comfortable around him as a friend,its time for him to step up things ,it was Thursday and they had just finished classes he told azael he won't be going to the dorm right away so azael left .he went straight to Sylvie's class ,when she heard he came to find her she walked out of the classroom with that beautiful smile on her face
Hey ,how are you ,where is Azael??
Nathan, despite the fact that his heart was beating really fast maintained a calm expression as he responded
Hey ,azael has gone to the dorm ,I want to see you
Ok , looking around sylvie could spot some students is it personal
Yes Nathan said calmly
Ok let's step away . sylvie said still smiling,after getting to a quiet corner sylvie stood in front of Nathan with her hands cross over her chest .so what's up ,am all ears
Looking at her from above Nathan declare in a very firm tune
I like you sylvie
Sylvie who was confused thought she didn't get him clearly ,she raised her eyes to meet his , trying to see if there is any playfulness in his eyes but his eyes were clear ,still confused she retreated alitle before asking
Wh...what did you just say
Nathan took some few steps forward and his long hand grabbed her small hand .I said I like you sylvie and am very serious about it
Sylvie was shocked ,she looked at the serious expression on his face ,the words i like you echoed in her ears repeatedly ,she pulled her arm away from his grip and said sorry but ....but i don't have that kind of feelings for you , you .....you are like a brother to me a.....she took a light breath ,thats why i think you .....you should focus on your studies you are still too young thinking of stuffs like this won't help you ,you .....
Nathan grabbed her arm with a frowned on his handsome,am not that young,you are just a year older than me and that shoulder even be an isue because i can do everything and more of what guys older than me do
Sylvie was stunned,she tried to calm down
Ok let go off my hand first
Nathan free her hand .ummm sorry
They both suddenly went silent as sylvie stared at her feet not knowing what to say
Nathan looked at her for a while before saying in a firm voice
I am not asking you to accept my feelings immidiately or to fall in love with me right away ,I just want you to give me the opportunity to love you
Sylvie looked at him and didn't even know what to say as she was shocked
Nathan smiled at her shocked expression she is so cute he thought
You may go back now ,this is what I wanted to say to you and thanks for listening.
Sylvie nodded and turned around heading back towards the direction of her classroom.
Looking at her , Nathan smiled ,soon I will be walking you to your classroom baby .he turned around to head back to the dorm .just now ,he didn't try to push her or even get too close as he knows forcing her will definitely scare her .
Sylvie returned to class and she still couldn't believe what she just heard ,she was still trying to process everything when someone standing at the door caught her attention,she rolled her eyes before standing up and walking out ,as soon as she was infront of williams something flashed in her head she grabbed his hand and dragged him all the way to a place wey she couldnt find any student then she let go his hand ,she raised her eyes to meet his with her finger pointed at him she said in a serious tune
Let me warm you in advance,if you are here to confess your feelings too then am not accepting,am not interested in dating any of you
Williams was stunned,he stared at her for a moment before asking what are you talking about,what confession and .....
Sylvie smacked her head lightly before saying
Sorry I .... something just happened I hadn't gotten it out of my mind when you walked in
Ohhh do you mind sharing,I might help
Sylvie was silent for a moment
What will you do if a friend who is like a sister suddenly say they like you ,what will you do
Williams was stunned as the image that appeared in his head the moment he heard the question is azael.he couldn't believe it he isn't as innocent as he appears .he thought
in that moment of silence.... while feelings Williams didnt even know existed began staring up within him , sylvie remember something
Her expression changed that instand
What are you doing here by the way ,she asked in a very cold tune , bringing pulling Williams out of his thoughts??
I want to talk to you ,he said
About what ??
All this while Williams noticed sylvie too was avoiding him but he had a lot at hand from his studies,to his father's birthday,to other duties . he had to go back to his house some weekends as he couldn't make calls in school .he had been wanting to address the matter but every time he saw sylvie she was always accompanied by azael who is avoiding him and the othet guy who he hates because the guy is now Azael's new best friend now that he was finally done with his duty for the time beeñ he thought it right to confront them ,he knows azael wont be at the dorm by this time so he will talk to sylvie now before he talks to azael in the night since they are in the same room
I have noticed you and azeal are avoiding leonor at I , what's up with that
Ohhh you finally noticed after such a long time sylvie said sarcastically
Williams expression was serious.its no just now that I noticed
Really but it's now that you feel like finding out why ,it's obvious that you don't care so...
That's not how it is ,I have tried talking to azael but he doesn't....
Let's cut the whole thing short , said Sylvie in an urgent tune
We decided to stay away from you because you are friends with bullies and you even took her side when she bullied Azael
Williams was surprised
Who said am friends with her and when did I take her side
Sylvie smirked,the day she bullied Azael didn't you hug her , don't even deny it because we saw you ,and you guys always hang out around the campus together
Williams was silent for a while.she always comes to me a d instead of taking it this far you should have let me know
Really,so you expect.....
Am sorry for that ,can we go back to how we were .he didn't want to drag the argument
Sylvie was stunned, Williams is always very cold and he carries a dominant aura she didn't expect him to apologize to her
What....what did you say I didn't get it said sylvie with her ear tilted towards williams
Williams sigh as she began her drama again
I said am sorry can you forgive me and can we be friends again
Ohhh I got you this time but.....
But what Williams asked with his eyebrows raised
am not the one you should apologize to ,and if you want your apology to be accepted you have to stay away from her is not negotiable
Williams was stunned again,huh you mean....
Williams that's the only condition,she can't be friends with us so if you are with her you are automatically not our friend so it's left for you to decide but I missed you she said with that playful smile
They two began talking and she didn't miss an opportunity to ask Williams to be cool to azael
After chatting with Sylvie Williams returns to the dorm,he finds azael in but unfortunately he is still with Nathan,his temper rose as he thought azael is really such a pretentious person first he confesses to Sylvie now he is in the dorm with this guy
