Simon's POV

Those two makes me somehow mad. I mean Kyle himself.

But why do I feel so upset? Or am I just over reacting? I know I am

Because of Audrey? she just came and she has already become a burden to my mood.

I feel so unusual, somehow, I makes me angry unnecessarily - yet it's making me feel weird.

I hope it's not what it is.

If it is, follow your heart they say.. right?

I stood at the door and I heard them still giggling and laughing.

"No, I'll rather leave this place or I won't be able to control this patience " I said to myself then walked away.

Still, I can't go to the class with this injured face.



**** - ****



Audrey's POV



"I couldn't compliment you earlier" I said when I was done applying the methylated spirit.. and I returned everything I made use of into the first aid Box.

"Your voice was angelic, sweet and Oh My God, I wish you won't stop" I complimented.

"I wanted to sing for you again but that Idiot made me stop" Kyle said.

"Uhm, yeah he did but will you always sing me a song anytime? " I asked him.

"Why not? " He said holding my both hands.

I was shocked?

He held my hand in an unusual way that definitely has a meaning.

He quickly let go of it and he cleared his throat.

"Mmm and you play the guitar really well" I said.

"Ye...ah" He stammered.

"Someday, you will teach me how to play guitar, won't you? "

"Anytime" He smiled.



There was an awkward silence..

"What if I told you that I can play all musical instruments" He said.

"Really? " I blurted.

"Yeah, I can"

"You must be kidding me, we are talking about Xenophones, Violins, Pianos , Keyboards, Drumset, T....."

He interrupted me.

"Everything" He said "Believe me" He added.

"Waoh! You're multi-talented" I said, still surprised.

He smiled.

"There's something I wanna tell you and you would be the first person I'll be telling this b'cos I haven't been opportuned to tell my parents"

"What's it? "

"I'm yearning on becoming a famous musician and a multi-instrumentalist too" He said.

I smiled and said "I wish you all the best you know"

"Thank you dear"

"So one day you would compose your own song and sing it your own way. Omg and I'll be a famous musician's best friend" I began to imagine.

"I've been singing people's song in my own way - I mean a remix but guess what? I'm started composing my very first song" He said and I couldn't help but to clap.

Like, It's unbelievable.

"Waoh, Waoh!! Oh it would be so melodious and I can't even wait to listen to it" I cried.

"Well... "

"What? "

"I'm actually dedicating the song to my first love. The music title itself is 'First Love'" He said.

"So I won't listen to it?" I frowned.

"I... I don't know" He stammered.

His first love must be very lucky.

What? First love? Is he trying to tell me that he is yet to have a first love?

"SillyK, you are joking right? Did you say First love? You must have had her years ago" I retorted.

"Well no, I just had my first love few days ago" He said.

"Aww" I smiled and playfully winked my eyes at him.

"Tell me, tell me. Who is she? " I asked stylishly.

"What, you're day-dreaming. Do you think I'll tell you who she is? " He said and I shrugged, rolled my eyes and frowned again.

"You won't sing to me your first song and you won't even tell me who your first love is" I murmured.

"And you, do you have someone you love, a crush? " He asked me.

"Yes" I answered almost immediately he asked me the question.

"Tell me" He said bringing his head - ears forward.

" I won't tell you" I said and i pinched his wounded lips then he graoned.

Instead of telling him sorry, I mockfully showed him my tongue then I ran out of the school ward.

* * * *

When school Dismissed, We bided Elena good-bye. She did it first..to be sure we are still in good terms. We are, I mean why not?

Then Kyle and I walked down the usual route.

"Are you going to the restaurant today? " Kyle asked me.

"Yeah " I responded.

"I'm coming along with you" He said and it made me stop walking.

"Why? " I faced and asked him.

"Don't you need my help? "

"Well I.. .." I wanted to refuse..

"Home is boring and tiring. When I return home from school, all I do is to have my dinner and when I want to listen to music, I end up listening to my parents quarrel" He said.

"Oh" I mouthed.

"Anyway, if Mrs Blakeston, the manager of the restaurant allows you, then I don't mind" I said then we continue to walk down the lane.

"You are not my boyfriend" I suddenly broke the silence and he stopped walking again and stared at me. Like what do I mean?

"Yeah, I'm only saying this just incase Mrs Blakeston or anyone ask whether you are" I added.

"Yeah, right" He finally spoke and I giggled

"Oh, did I ever tell you that Simon do come there everyday? " I said and he was puzzled.

"He is rich like everyone claims. Yet he can't get a cook or nanny to cook his meal instead of coming to the restaurant to get dunk foods"

Kyle chuckled.

"Do you guys talk whenever you meet at the restaurant? " He asked me.

"If I say Yes, you would be mad at me. So no" I remarked and he didn't say anything. "Well, we don't talk. I just usually take his orders, serve him and that's all" At last, I explained it to him briefly.

"As from now, we will do it together" He said.

But, that's only if Mrs Blakeston permits him to be my assistant. Which I doubt..

He held my hand and we walked fast this time.

We got to the restaurant, The Customers were staring at us because we held hands.

I quickly took Kyle up the stairs to Mrs Blakeston's Office.

"Come on in" She permitted after I knocked once on her door.

"Good evening ma'am" Kyle and I greeted simultaneously.

"Evening High school students" She said.

Oh, we were still on our school uniforms.

"Audrey, how may I help you? " Mrs Blakeston asked.

"Er....... " I stammered, not knowing how to tell her about it. What am I even doing? She is surely gonna disagree and she might stop me from working here.

I don't really know much about her attitude but body size and facial expression says it all.

"My name is Kyle" Kyle introduced himself.

Mrs Blakeston adjusted her seat and removed her eye glasses.

I can now see that her strict eyes... Oh no, we are making a very wrong decision.

"And how may I help you? " She asked again.

"Audrey is my friend in school and I found out she works here, so I decided to assist her in every way I can" Surprisingly, Kyle wasn't as scared as I was. He spoke courageously.

Mrs Blakeston stared at him for some moments then she looked at me too. Then she bursted into laughter.

Ah! No doubt, she is gonna fire me for this

"Did you say you wanna Assist her? " She asked Kyle.

"Errr... Yes" Now Kyle was kinda scared.

Mrs Blakeston laughed again.

"First, what's happened to your face?" She asked him.

True, Kyle's face is still red and his lips too.

"I... .. " He stammered.

"Oh! You are one of those guys that fights and you want me to give you the permission to assist Audrey here!? ! " She snapped at him.

"Noo... I... "

"He fell down" I quickly lied.

"Yes, I fell during sport today" Kyle added.

Actually, Sport didn't take place today.

"Hmm" Mrs Blakeston sighed.

We didn't say anything, we just bend low and waited for her response. Of course, it would be a capital No.

"Assist? It means you're not gonna receive the daily wages. Only Audrey will" Mrs Blakeston said.

"I know ma'am" Kyle said.

And she didn't say anything.

She just took her glasses from the table and put it on.

"You two, leave my office now!! " She blurted after the short silence.

I knew it, I knew she won't allow it.

"I'm very sorry ma'am" I apologized before Kyle and I walked to the door.



"Approved" We heard her say when we were about to open the door.

Huh Really? Oh My God.
