"Those kids are unbelievable" Mrs Smith said to Mr Anderson when Kyle and Simon left her office.



"If there are any other words you could use in place of Unbelievable, use them" Mr Anderson said.

"I'm so happy my son had a change of heart and attitude"



Mrs Smith smiled and stood up from her seat.

"So? " She muttered as she walked seductively over to where Mr Anderson sat.



"So...? " He repeated



"Come on Harry" She said and sat on the table in front of him.



"Ame.... lia" He stammered.



"You aren't going to your workplace today afterall, why not spend the whole time with me? " She asked him -in a seductive way.



"Ti.....ime?" He continued to stammer.



"Yeah, I know no student would walk in now without knocking on the door first" She said and slid down her hand from his cheek to his neck.

...With his body acceding to the sensation but he didn't want to reciprocate to it.

"Harry, Please I want you... now" Amy whispered into his ears.



She bit her lips before coming closer to him, sat on his laps and stared into his puzzled-eyes.

Then she began to kiss him like she's gonna eat up his mouth.

The Aroused Harry (Simon's father) tried to but couldn't resist her touch.



She stopped kissing his lips and began to kiss his neck slowly...

She yanked off his Jacket and smiled at him before starting to button his shirt.



"Stop it Amelia! " Mr Anderson held hands when she got to the last button.



"Uh, why? " She said.

"Don't you want it? "



"We can't do this Amy" He said and lightly pushed her off his laps.



"Wh...why? What are you saying Harry? It's not like you have a wife you're cheating on? " She said.



"I... I know Amelia" He stood up and buttoned his shirt into the holes and reached for his Jacket.



"Harry, why are you doing this to me? I've not been touched for four years now, do you even know how badly I want it now? especially with you" She shrieked.



"Amelia, I haven't had it in 19 years too"



"With those young ladies out there that throws theirselves at you? How do you expect me to believe that? "



"I'm very serious Amy. Besides, you're still married.... " She interrupted him.



"Separated! "

"Please Harry, only this once. Your wife died long ago, so it's not like you're cheating on her or anyone" She said again.



"I am!!" He pouted.



"What? "



"See Amy, it's a long story and even if I try to explain to you, you won't want to believe me" He said to the furious looking Mrs Smith who only folded her hand.

"I'm sorry Amelia" He apologized with his hand on her shoulders but she shrugged them off.

"We'll talk about it some other day" He said and held her hands, fondled with her fingers before letting go it and he muttered:

"Bye"



She didn't say anything to him.. She just watched him leave and after he left, she screamed.

"Oh My God! "



...Almost forgetting that she was still in school.

Simon's POV

I told him my sincere mind but I don't know why it's so difficult for him to accept or believe me.



My Dad came out from Mrs Smith's office and started walking towards us - leaving actually.



"You two are still here, don't tell me you've resumed to quarrel" He said to us.



"No Dad, we are just... talking" I said.



"He's right" Kyle supported.

OK.

"Okay.. That's what new friends do. So I'm leaving now. See you at home Simon and Kyle, I hope the next time I'll meet you won't be over an offence" My Dad said to him and Kyle said;



"I hope not"

Is that what's he's meant to say?



"Good, Bye" My Dad said and left us behind.



*

"So what's your response? " I asked Kyle.

"Are we cool now? "

I asked him but he just scorned.

"Yes or no? It's easy to pick one"



"No" He barked at me.



"You see Kyle, I always think I'm the most stubborn human on earth but you just proved me wrong" I told him.



"Whatever" He said not even interested in talking to me at all... Is that how bad I've been?



I walked faster, so that I can be on the same lane with him.

"Why is it so hard to be your friend? Audrey and I are good friends now" I told him and he stopped walking and faced me.



"You're day-dreaming" He said.



"No I'm not. Seriously, I picked her up from home to school today. She's unlike you; so cool and kind-hearted" I told him recalling my encounters with her in the car.



"What? " Exclaimed Angry Kyle.

Audrey's POV

I waited impatiently for the three classes before recess period to come to an end. I would have just taken permission to leave the class from the last teacher but she is a very strict one, she doesn't grant such permissions and she might decide to punish me for no reason.



I just couldn't wait to know what's happening to them? I hope Kyle and Simon were not suspended or expelled.

No, no, Simon can't be expelled or suspended b'cos his Dad owns the school. Uh, does that mean Kyle would be the only one that would be punished?



I walked hastily towards the school administratives building where the Principal's office is.



A man came out of the building when I was just about to enter. Although, I don't know him, I perfunctorily greeted him.



This is the first time I'm seeing and meeting him but he was staring at me as if he has seen me before or as if he knows me. When he wouldn't stop staring at me, I looked away and went my way.



Before I got to the principal's office, I met Kyle and Simon on the way talking and Kyle is the only one wearing an angry look.

OMG, how am I gonna face Simon after the no distance between our lips.



"Hey" I said to them when I got to where they stood.

I tried as much to avoid Simon but with the corners of my eyes, I could see him staring at me.



"Audrey, come with me" Kyle said, he held my hand and we walked out of the SAB (School Administratives Building), leaving Simon behind.



"What? " I managed to ask Kyle.



"Did Simon pick you from home today? " He asked him.



Uh, So Simon already told him but why is he angry about it? Or did he also tell him about 'It' ?



"Err...yeah, he did" I said.



"You called me your best friend yet you didn't even tell me" He yelled at me.



"I... I was going to tell you" I stammered.

Why does he makes me feel sorry most times.



"Ohkay" He tried to hid his frown and he lowered his voice.

"I just wanted to be sure if he really did. I'm sorry for yelling at you"



Just then, Simon came out of the building and found us outside then he walked towards us.

I took a very deep sigh to be able to look at his face - those eyes.



"It won't kill if you just say 'Yes to me'" He said to Kyle.



What are they talking about?



"You ought to know i'm serious because I still repeating it" He added.

"I want to be your friend Kyle, will you be my friend? "



Oh that...



"Let's go to class Audrey" Kyle pulled me along with him but I stopped him.



"Stop this attitude of yours Kyle, I know he has been very mean to you for years but this is a perfect way to come together and let go of the past " I told him.



He looked at him speechlessly and his eyes were red.

Why is it so hard? Why?



"Come on Kyle" I said in a pleading tone and he turned back to meet Simon.



Surprisingly, He hugged him



Aw! At last, These Two!
