Where are we heading to?" Ken demanded after Jane asked him to change and come with her."You'll find out soon," she replied and pointed to the door. "I'll wait for you outside," she replied and marched out before Ken could speak.He quickly swapped his shorts with grey plain trousers and wore a checkered shirt. He picked up his wallet, tucked it inside his pants pocket and walked out.Jane was resting her back against the wall. She was standing a few metres away from Ken's room. Immediately he pulled the door open, she hung her hoodie on her shoulders and began marching toward the gate.Ken shut the door and hurried after her. "Can you at least tell me where we are going?" he asked as they walked out of the hostel premises."Be patient Ken. You'll find out soon. All you have to do is stay quiet and follow my lead." she replied.They walked past the MC ARTHUR hostel gate. Jane took the route that lead to the academic complex. The impatient Ken was walking beside her. "You said you've
"I'm sorry" Jane apologized amidst heavy pants after bumping into someone while she was hurrying to exit the exam hall."Watch where you are going." the boy yelled at her after a long hiss. She accidentally stepped on him.Again, she apologized and took rushed steps out of the hall. Immediately after she stepped out, she took the route that led to her hotel.After the exam supervisor asked the students to put their pens down, Jane was the first to submit her answer booklet. She was occupying the front row and had managed to come out of the hall ahead of everyone.While the other students were exchanging pleasantries and talking about the just concluded exams outside the hall, Jane was on her way to her room.Ken made his way out of the exam hall amidst the crowd of students who were rushing to get out.He heard the supervisor asking Charlie and Walter to wait back in the hall and Ken knew the guys were in big trouble.He strode to the lemon tree which was a few meters away from the ha
"So what will you have?" Ken went on with his gaze fixed on the menu card Jane was clasping with both hands.She raised a brow, hoping he'll return to his booth now that he had stated his purpose but it appears, Ken wasn't ready to leave."I was waiting for someone so maybe we can hang out before she arrives," he told Jane.Jane was about to speak when the door to the cafe was pushed open. Tracy and her minions walked in.She saw Ken sitting opposite a girl and quickly walked up to the booth with her friends hurrying after her like a pack of zombies. She was dressed in a pink floral gown and tied her hair into a bun with a pink ribbon.Tracy settled on the booth beside Ken and greeted Jane with a glare. Jane quickly waved at the waitress standing behind the counter.Soon, the waitress came to Jane's aid. Both of Tracy's friends sat next to her. Ken turned to her with a faint smile. "Hey!" He was hoping she wouldn't ask why he didn't make it to her birthday party but Tracy dropped the
Jane pulled out a book from her bag and began fiddling with its pages. She assumed that the act will send a message to Ken that she was about to engage in an activity so he could leave her alone but Ken was still seated opposite her, sipping slowly from his glass."I think I should leave now," Jane said and plunged the novel inside her bag. She was about to stand up but Ken stopped her by placing his hand in her way."Don't leave just yet. Please." he implored.She carefully placed her bag on the table and heaved a deep sigh. "You wanted to thank me for helping you out with the Charlie situation and you did so a while ago so there's no point in me staying here. I guess we are done here and I'm also done with my meal." maintained Jane.Ken couldn't tell why it was difficult for him to let her go. They weren't cool buddies and had only said a thing or two yet he wasn't willing to allow her to leave just yet."Chill, you seem a bit on the edge," Ken told her.Both her hands were position
Cassie dropped her glass of red wine on the counter with a mischievous smile. She hopped down from the stool and marched toward Ken.She was wearing a long brown gown that stretched to the sole of her feet."For how long have you been sitting there?" demanded Ken after she walked up to him.She occupied the seat Jane earlier sat on a while ago with a smile. She dropped her glossy purse on the table and crossed her legs."First of all, sorry I'm late but on second thought, I'm not sorry," Cassie replied with a twinkle."Seriously Cassie?""Well, if I didn't show up late, I would have missed catching a glimpse at you drooling over that chic." she maintained. "You should have since your face Ken. Damn, I should have taken a picture."Ken turned away and waved his palm down. "Drooling? Oh, come on I wasn't drooling."Cassie broke into a dry laugh and slumped on the chair. "Maybe I should have stood up and whacked her ass. I'm your girlfriend you know, so no girl is allowed to make your he
Ken roved his eyes around the exam hall hoping to catch a glimpse of Jane but the girl was nowhere to be found. He turned left, right, and even stood up and turned back yet, there was no sign of her.The question papers were yet to be distributed. Ken sat and was hoping that she'll walk in through the door but unknown to him, she was the first to come to the exam hall and had already taken a seat in the last row.It's been two days since her meeting with Ken and he couldn't tell why it felt as if he hadn't seen her in weeks. There was no denying that her thoughts were beginning to get into his head.He had spent the last weekend dreaming about her day and night. He woke up with a smile after her beautiful face fluttered in his mind that morning and he was determined to meet her at all costs.After the examination, Ken loitered outside the hall. He watched the students leave, some in groups. He didn't see Jane walk out and he became worried.Did she miss the exams? Could she be sick? W
Jane walked into the cafe pressing an anatomy textbook to herself. She was about to take a seat in the front booth when she turned around and saw Ken staring at her, his arms folded across his chest.Ken was gaping at her like an owl. With a gasp, she slowly turned around and muttered under her breath "Busted".Ken abandoned the orange juice and doughnuts on his table and quickly began marching toward her. Jane felt his footsteps reaching toward her, she tightened her grip on her books, heaved a deep sigh, and sat with a fake smile plastered across her face.Ken sat on the chair opposite her. He positioned his hands on the table. She roved her eyes from one angle of the cafe to the other.He cleared his throat loudly and said to her. "It's just four people here."She forced a grin. Ken knew that she was nervous and had earlier stated that she doesn't want to be seen around him due to her low-profile kind of life. He pointed out to her that there were just a few people in the cafe so
"Wow!" marveled Ken. He might not know much about Jane but he could swear that she was more like him when it came to accomplishing tasks."That's exactly what I do all the time. If I don't complete the tasks I set for myself, I won't have peace." Jane replied and shook her head."That's more like me," commented Ken.She smiled and folded her arms across her chest. "Shouldn't you be in your room by now?"Ken stared at the watch on his left wrist. "Are you asking me to leave?""I don't own the fucking place," Jane replied. "You can stay here for as long as you wish," she added with a warm smile.Ken positioned both his hands on the table and cleared his throat loudly in his bid to prove to her that he wasn't ready to leave anytime soon."So what do you do for fun? I mean, your hobbies," he asked.Jane gave her forehead a delicate scrape. "I read.""That's cool. What genre of books do you read?" "Classics, history, philosophy, and more," she replied.Ken was pleased. "I must say you qui
