Nicholas and Cayden went down to the departmental headquarters to wait for Nathan. They arrived at the building and waited just opposite the entrance door. There was a long queue and few lecturers to respond to the crowd. Nathan sighted them from a distance and walked down their route to meet them "Hey man, How is the defence going? Are you done? Nicholas asked." I wish I was man, We've been standing for some hours now and still nothing. It's almost my turn" Nathan replied. " Okay, Good luck. We'll be waiting at the car lot" Cayden replied. Nathan quickly dashed back to the queue waiting for his turn. Cayden and Nicholas walked down to the car lot sharing jokes and laughing at each one of them. Cayden deep within himself thought of what had happened at the library and wondered why Veronica was so concerned about their conversation at that moment. They passed through the school hallway down to the entrance very close to the car lot. Along the way, Cayden gazed at Veronica from a di
I'm from Dallas, Frisco precisely," Cayden picked up the menu and gazed at it lost in thought as to what to order." Oh really? Cool. I have a family friend from Dallas", Veronica said."Wow. That's nice. Cayden grinned. A young man with white sleeves and black trousers on a white apron walked down their table." Hello, Mr&Mrs. Welcome to Elvris cafe. What can I offer you both? " He grinned, gazing at Cayden to initiate the order. " I'll go with the grilled beef and sausage," Cayden said. Veronica gazed at the menu " Okay sir, And for the lady? " He replied, and stared at Veronica. " Burger and chips will do, Thanks" Veronica replied, in a cheerful tune. " Coming right up," The man said. He headed down to the kitchen. Cayden stared at Veronica with that spark in his eyes, appreciating her beauty and composure. He held her hands rubbing his palms over hers. He couldn't hold his feelings any longer. " I like you, and I want us to be more than friends," Cayden said. He gazed an
Arriving the lecture hall, there was absolute silence in the room as the lecturer explained the lecture using the projector. They tiptoed against the terrazzo floor, their hills barely making a sound and made their way to their seats. Cayden glared at them walking in from a distance. He placed his hand on his desk, tweaking his pen around his fingers and leaned slightly backwards on the other seat, putting up a gloomy face. He couldn't focus on the lecture as all he could think of was talking with Veronica. He picked up his device and texted her to meet up with him during break and tried to focus on the lecture. He held his phone firmly, waiting to get a reply but all to no avail. He stared at the lecturer placing his fist on his chin and waiting for the lecture to end. As soon as it was break time, the echoes grew stronger as troops of students walked out the door. He searched for Veronica but couldn't find her as it seemed she left alongside the crowd. He gazed around in search
They entered the vehicle, sat at their usual positions and headed down to Amelia's home. Cayden grinned as he suddenly remembered what he saw back at school about Amelia." Guess I didn't tell you what I saw the other day at school" Cayden said, relaxed at the back seat with his seat belts on as he gazed at Nathan. Nathan looked perplexed, his eyes fluctuating between the road and cayden as he was interested to hear what Cayden had to let out. " What did you see? " Nathan said anxiously " After my time with Veronica, as I walked down to meet you guys at the car lot just at the back of the library, I saw Amelia making out with a guy" Cayden illustrated. Nathan was surprised hearing that, he was quiet as though he thought about it and suddenly began to laugh, holding the steering and his eyes still fixed on the roads" Wait are you kidding me?? Woah! , she has a lover and she been acting up all around me??, This is hilarious" Nathan chuckled." That was exactly my reaction when he tol
The ambulance arrived, glaring light all around with the whooping sound from the alarm. At that moment everyone was startled and wondered who would do that to Nathan. Some men rushed into the building to fetch Nathan because at that time he had already passed out and was quite in terrible shape. They placed him on the gurney, placing the oxygen mask on his face. They hurriedly carried him into the van and zoomed off. Cayden and Nicholas felt so furious as they weren't there to help save their friend. Their hearts were heavy with sadness as they watched the ambulance drive off. " I saw this coming! I knew something was odd about that dude, I saw him walk in and I suspected but I was so stupid not to do anything!" Cayden exclaimed as he knelt placing his hands above his head. "It's not your fault bro!! Put yourself together, this is not the time to wail, we need to be strong for Nathan". Nicholas said. He stretched out to him, placing his hands on his back to path him. " We need to h
They arrived at the clinic and hurried to meet the doctor. There were voices everywhere as people trooped in and out of the Clinic. They approached the reception area to meet with the receptionist. A light-skinned blond girl, dressed in a brown striped shirt and black skirt. " Hello, Good morning, I'd want to see Dr Kell. " Cayden said gazing at her as he placed his left hand on her desk, his face looking anxious to get a reply." Okay, Do you have an appointment with him? " She said, typing on the keyboard, her eyes fixed on her computer screen." Yeah we do, We just got a call from him to see a patient who was admitted yesterday" Cayden replied." Alright. Let me inform him that you are around". She said, drawing near the telephone to make the call. She spoke after some minutes and hung up the phone, gazing at them. "Okay, you can go in, the first office by your right," She said. " Alright Thanks," Cayden said, as they took the staircase. They climbed the brown-tiled stairca
As Cayden and Nicholas settled in their seats, Cayden held the sheet as they memorized and tried to get acquainted with the explanation.Veronica on the other end couldn't help the feeling of jealousy that washed over her. She was in love with Cayden but watching him cosy up to another girl just reinforced her rage even more. When it finally got her turn, she tried to shake off the feeling but all to no avail, she walked up to the stage, trying to put herself together to remember all she had prepared. But nothing seemed to be coming through. She stood before the class, her nerves got the best of her, and stumbled over her words. The more nervous she got, the more mistakes she made until Mr Thompson finally had to intervene to make her stop. He walked up to her on the stage, placing his hands on her shoulder as he gazed at her and smiled." Are you Alright dear?" He said, in a whisper." I'm not sir, I'm not just in the mood for this". Veronica replied."Meet me at my office later, be
Cayden couldn't believe what had just happened. He stood there in shock, watching Veronica walk away from him with tears streaming down her face. He felt like his world had just come crashing down around him.But as he stood there, something inside of him clicked. He realized that he didn't want to give up on their relationship without a fight. He had to find a way to make things right with Veronica and win back her trust.He ran after her, calling out her name. "Veronica, wait!" he yelled.She stopped in her tracks but did not turn around. "What do you want?" she asked, frowning as her voice was barely more than a whisper."I want to talk to you," Cayden said, approaching her slowly and holding her hands."What's there left to say? You cheated on me!" Veronica exclaimed, turning to face him with fire in her eyes."Really? cheated?? But I didn't cheat on you! That girl was just explaining the presentation to me," Cayden pleaded."I saw the way she was looking at you, the way you were
