Episode 21 : Dance Drama
🍭Carl🍭
“Can we talk?”. I asked Beverly.
“Yeah she has the time”. Elsa said and left both of us.
“Elsa!!”. Beverly shouted but she already ran off.
“Relax, i don’t bite”. I told her.
She fiddled with her fingers. “So what do you wanna talk about?”.
“I just wanted to know if you are alright”.
She smiled. “I’m fine, thanks for asking”.
“Umm does she still bullies you?”.
She shook her head negatively. “No and thanks for the other day”.
“No problem”. I answered.
“I really owe you one”.
I smiled. “You don’t owe me anything”.
“I do, i mean, if you hadn’t take the phone from her, who knows i might have committed suicide”.
I was taken aback. “Suicide? Isn’t that a little too much?”.
“Well having your nude photos distributed all over the internet is kind of shameful or something like that”. She explained.
“I’m glad that you didn’t commit suicide, then how will I get to ask you out?”. I joked.
She blushed. “Probably with flowers and then maybe I’ll say yes”.
I smiled at her. “I see”.
The bell rang immediately signaling first period.
“I have to go”. She said.
“Oh but I might have to take you up on that offer of a date”.
She paused. “Are you asking me out or something?”.
“Do you want me to ask you out?”.
“Unlike most girls I don’t say yes but since I owe you one then okay I’ll go on a date with you”. She replied.
“Really?”.
She nodded. “Sure and lets make it like a double date”.
I raised my eyebrows. “Double date?”.
“For Elsa, she doesn’t want to admit that she likes Bryan”. She explained.
“So you plan on setting her up on a date”.
“With Bryan”. She completed the sentence.
“Oh I’ll find a way to make Bryan come if thats what you want”.
She flashed me a smile. “Okay see you later”. She said and left.
I chuckled, just scored a date with Beverly Smith. The hottest cheerleader ever.
My phone rang and I took it out of my pocket checking the caller’s ID. I saw it was Bryan so I picked the call.
“Hey Bro”.
“Carl, i wont be in school today”.
“Why? Is something wrong?”. I asked concerned.
“I gotta stay with Tori, she’s not okay right now”.
“What happened to her?”.
“She had a panic attack and Mia said it was just anxiety that caused it but i’m still worried”.
He explained. “She saw Kyle and i don’t know, she freaked out”.
“Oh, maybe probably she remembered what happened, that could have caused it”.
“But its been 4 years”.
“If Kyle can still feel the pain then why cant Victoria remember it”.
“I called you to let you know that I wont be in school and please look after Elsa”.
“Sure, i’ll take care of Elsa”.
“Okay bye”.
He hanged up and I slid the phone into my pocket. I have to find Kyle.
Kyle🍭
I let go of her immediately. “Elsa, I’m so sorry”.
She didn’t respond, instead she sniffed and held my arm probably it hurts.
Seeing her eyes wet with tears is really upsetting.
I hugged her tightly. “I’m sorry for hurting you”. I whispered.
She seemed uncomfortable in my hands but I didn’t mind as I hugged her closely.
I just need to hold her in my arms.
After a while, she pulled away and cleaned her cheeks.
“I’m sorry”. I repeated. “I didn’t know that i was hurting you”.
She crossed her arms. “What do you want?”.
“I just wanted us to like umm, talk”. I ran my hand through my hair nervously.
Why am I so nervous around her? What the fuck is happening to me?
“We are talking”.
“Look, I am not a bad guy okay?”.
She scoffed. “Oh really? And you want me to believe that? After what happened to Victoria”.
“Why is it hard for you to believe I didn’t do anything?”. I asked exasperatedly.
“I know what you did to all of Bryan ex-girlfriends and if you can do that, what more Victoria?”.
“All I did is none of your business”. I said sternly.
She doesn’t even know what Bryan did but she supported him as always.
Bryan finally has someone by his side but its not gonna be for long because I’m going to make Elsa mine.
“If it concerns Bryan then its my business”. She told me off.
“What are you both? Some kind of romantic couple or something?”. I asked getting pissed off already.
“I don’t have the time to talk with you”.
I held her close planting my lips on hers, i tasted the softness kissing her. She pushed me away immediately.
“Are you crazy?”. She yelled.
“Do you want more?”. I asked smirking.
“I thought I made it clear for you to stay away from him”. Sapphire came over glaring at Elsa.
“Perhaps you should tell him to stay away from me”. She replied and stormed out.
I stared at her retreating figure, damn I’m definitely gonna get her.
“Seriously Kyle? What is wrong with you”. Sapphire said snapping me out of my thoughts.
“What do you want?”.
“What do I want? Kyle, I’m your girlfriend and I don’t see any reason why you choose to go after Elsa when I’m right here”.
“I’m not in the mood to argue with you”. I said and walked away.
She ran to my front. “Kyle, don’t tell me you are interested in her”.
“So what if I am?”.
“No, no, no, Kyle you cant treat me this way”.
I sighed. “Sapphire, i made it clear to you that you mean nothing to me”.
“How dare you?”. She hit my chest. “You fucking asshole”.
“Stop this”. I shouted.
“After everything I did for you, Kyle, you are still bent on this”.
“What the fuck the you do for me? If this is about the virginity thing, stop acting like a saint”.
I told her. “After all I am not the only guy you have ever slept with”.
“How dare you say that? I thought we had something special”.
“Fucking you over the weekend isn’t something special, its just you throwing yourself on me”. I told her bluntly.
“You are acting this way because of that Elsa girl, right? You are in love with her, is that it?”.
I stepped away from her. “Don’t get me angry”.
The bell rang immediately signaling first period but I’m in no mood to go to class.
I walked away from her and went ahead to where the boys and I always hangout.
Justin was at a corner with Kimberly doing their thing.
I sat on a table.
“So whats up? Did you do it?”. Mason asked at once.
“I couldn’t do it, look I’m not interested in this anymore”. I replied.
Sean paused. “Wow, first ever”.
“What are you guys talking about?”. Kimberly asked.
“What do you mean by you couldn’t do it”. Mason flared up.
“Dude!! Do not get on my nerves”. I told him off.
“Bye babe, gotta go”. Kimberly kissed Justin and left.
“She’s gone, start talking”. Sean said.
“I said I couldn’t do it okay? She looked vulnerable and i’m not talking about this, you guys should just accept it”.
“Fine if you wont do it then I’ll do it after all I called dibs on her first”. Mason said.
“Elsa is not a property and you are not touching her”. I said angrily.
“Just admit that you like her”. He replied.
“Wait a minute, back it up. Kyle likes Elsa?”. Justin asked.
“Of course he does, he was suppose to get her in bed with him but he chickened out because he likes her”. Mason continued.
I frowned. “One more word from you and I promise you that you won’t feel your butt anymore”.
“How nice. You are willing to beat me because of Elsa”. He said sarcastically.
“Everyone just chill the elf out”. Sean said.
“We made a bet and__”.
The door opened interrupting Mason.
“What the fuck did you do to Victoria?”. Carl came in.
I crossed my arms. “I’m sure he told you”.
“Is something wrong?”. Sean asked confused.
“I cant believe you would go to that extreme, dude, she had a panic attack and you know that she’s fragile”.
“Stop making a scene as if she died”. I told him.
Carl scoffed. “You are not even the least concerned?”.
“Why should I be?”.
“Whats up with Victoria?”. Justin asked.
“I’m done with this, i’ve tried to be on your side but not anymore okay?”. Carl said.
“I’ve tried to at least reason with you but every single thing you do to Bryan piss me off”.
“What I do piss you off?”. I asked angrily. “He was the one who ra__”.
He cut me off. “I don’t fucking care, thats four years ago, just deal with it”.
I clenched my fists. “I should just deal with it? Huh? Do you know the pain he caused?”.
“I’m sure the pain that Bryan has felt all this past years is more”. He yelled.
“Don’t you fucking yell at me”. I shouted.
“Everyone just calm down, lets talk this out”. Sean said.
“I’m done with all this, i don’t wanna be friends with someone like you. I’m out”. Carl said and left.
“He’s gone”. Sean said flopping on a chair.
“What was that thing he said about Victoria?”. Justin asked lowly.
“Why do you care? Do you too want to shout at me?”.
“Bryan is our friend, your best friend”.
“Try using past tense, Justin. He was our friend but anymore”. I corrected him.
“It doesn’t matter, using his Victoria against him is too much. She is like our own little sister”. Justin told me off.
“Why do y’all just suddenly forget what happened?”.
“You are the only one, okay? He lost someone too, Kyle, he also lost someone he loved”.
“I’m off to class”. I took my backpack from one of the chairs and walked out.
I walked through the school hallways angrily.
How dare they? Is like they have forgotten what he did.
Everybody is just on Bryan’s side, always Bryan. He’s always the perfect person and I’m always the bad one.
I walked into my first class and went to the back of the class. I took a seat ignoring the teacher’s warnings.
I still thought of what Carl said, so what if its 4 years? I don’t care about the years.
I looked around the class and noticed Elsa with her blonde friend, Beverly.
I licked my lips remembering the first time I kissed her how she had responded, she kissed me back and her lips were so sweet and soft.
She and Beverly were obviously not paying attention to the teacher and neither was I.
I watched her as they talked, her ponytail bounced atop her head.
Gosh!! She’s beautiful and she will be mine.
🍭~Elsa~
“And thats what happened”. Beverly narrated.
“So that means you are officially going on a date with Carl Kris”. I whispered.
She smiled. “Yep Beverly and Carl, that sounds nice”.
“Yeah do you by any chance asked Carl about Bryan?”.
She looked at me. “No why?”.
I sighed. “He isn’t in school yet”.
She nudged me. “Awww, someone’s missing her boyfriend”.
“I’m just worried, what if something happened?”.
“Just relax, your prince charming can take care of himself”. She assured me.
“Yeah maybe you are right but its just that it feels weird with him not being in school”.
“Kyle is staring at you”. Beverly whispered.
“Huh?”.
“Kyle has been staring at you ever since”.
I turned and my eyes scanned the class finally meeting with Kyle. He smiled and I faced my front.
“Why do you think he’s like that?”. I asked confused.
“Like how?”.
“I mean, he kissed me this morning”.
Beverly paused. “He did? What the fuck!!”.
“That was the same reaction I had, i was literally surprised and confused”.
“Do you think he likes you?”.
I scoffed. “Likes me? No way, he’s trying to turn my attention away from Bryan”.
“Oh so you finally admit that you like Bryan”. She teased me.
“Maybe I do”. I replied.
“But Elsa, what if Kyle is falling for you?”. She asked.
I looked back and sighted him still staring at me.
I turn back to Beverly. “I don’t like him”.
“For real? I mean you have been crushing on him in like forever”.
“I started crushing on him when I was nine, Beverly, its not forever”.
“But still you liked him back in middle school and also in Junior High”. She said.
“Well yeah but he didn’t even notice me one bit, if Bryan hadn’t liked me then Kyle would never know I exist”.
“So you are saying that you choose Bryan over Kyle?”. She asked.
“I’m saying that I’m done with this Childhood Crush of a thing”. I said.
“Now you are all focused on Bryan, thats sweet but seriously, Elsa. If you were to choose between Kyle and Bryan, who would you pick!?”.
I paused thinking about it, just forget about it Elsa. I ignored Beverly’s question and focused on the teacher.
My mind trailed to the question. Who would I pick? Kyle or Bryan?
Thankfully after a while, the bell rang and the teacher dismissed the class. I took my backpack and went out of the class with Beverly.
“Bye”. She said and went off to her next class.
I walked to my own class when I was stopped by Gabriella.
“Hey Elsa”.
I faked a smile. “Gabriella”.
“Have you seen Bryan?”.
Why will she ask me that?
“No”. I replied.
“Oh yeah I forgot, how would you know where Bryan is, you both are just friends”.
“You know, Gabriella for someone as bitchy as you are, i’m happy that Kyle and Sapphire humiliated you because you deserve it”. I told her off.
“And you are going to be next”.
“I have a class to go to”. I said and walked away.
“I’m sure if Kyle ask you out, you’ll run to him like the cheap slut you are”.
I stopped.
“For someone who has been crushing on Kyle, i’m sure you’ll go in bed with him at first date”. She continued.
I turned. “Look who’s talking? Didn’t you leave Bryan for Kyle at first date?”.
“It doesn’t matter because Bryan still loves me”.
“Keep telling yourself that Gabriella but the truth is that he detests you because you are the definition of a demented slut”.
She gasped. “How dare you?”.
“Who should be the one saying that? Gabriella, how dare you say I’m cheap, why? Because you are jealous of me”.
Her face changed.
“The fact is that you are jealous of me because you know that Bryan loves me and not you”. I fired at her.
“Stop saying that”. She yelled.
“You couldn’t even get Kyle and now you want Bryan, Gabriella, you are the cheap slut here not me”.
She frowned at me.
“And if I were you, i’ll stop being bitchy at least you got the pity you wanted”. I continued.
“And don’t even think you have a chance to get Bryan back because he doesn’t go back to wasted and used trash like you”.

🍭Elsa
“You couldn’t even get Kyle and now you want Bryan, Gabriella, you are the cheap slut here not me”.
She frowned at me.
“And if I were you, i’ll stop being bitchy at least you got the pity you wanted”.
I continued”And don’t even think you have a chance to get Bryan back because he doesn’t go back to wasted and used trash like you”.
She frowned. “Fuck you!!”.
“Fuck you too bitch”. I fired her. “And to even think I was friends with someone like you”. I told her.
“You think that I was wrong for leaving Bryan, huh?”.
“If you loved him as you claimed then why did you leave him for Kyle?”. I asked curious.
“Because of what he did. You may see him as a saint but when you find out about his flaw then I’m sure y’ll leave too just like me”. She told me.
I scoffed. “I’m nothing like you”.
“Fine then, lets watch out”.
“I don’t have time for this”.
“You know, if you really like Bryan then you wouldn’t have kissed Kyle”. She glared at me before walking away.
Wait!! How did she know that Kyle kissed me? Could she have … Nah!!
“That was epic”.
I turned back. “Justin?”.
“I never knew you could do that”. He said.
“You watched all that?”. I asked surprised.
“Yep and you went crazy with those words”.
I sighed. “She was pissing me off”.
“Oh, are you going to class now?”.
I nodded. “Yeah calculus”.
“I have the same class, lets go”.
I stopped. “No thanks, i do not want to cross paths with Kimberly”.
“Trust me, she wont do anything. You are Bryan’s little girlfriend”.
“I wouldn’t say girlfriend”. I said as we walked to class.
“Have you guys kissed?”. He asked.
I blushed. “No why?”.
“Just asking”.
We got to class and went in, all eyes at me well mostly the girls who were glaring at me.
“Do you know anything about Calculus?”.
I sat next to him. “Not that much”.
“Good, we are on the same page here”.
I snickered. “So you don’t know Calculus?”.
“More like I’m not interested in learning at all”. He replied.
“Then why are you in school?”. I asked amusedly.
“Thats what every kid my age do and besides I’m here for the Soccer”.
“Oh yeah you are the captain”.
“Yep but the only reason I attend classes is to get my grades up, if they are not up then I’m out of Soccer team”. He explained.
“Oh”.
“So whats up with you and Bryan?”.
“Why do you keep asking that?”.
“I really want to know more just in case”.
“Incase of what?”.
🌴Sapphire🦋
“Okay that was too harsh for Kyle to say that to you”.
“And to think Kyle chose that slum over me”. I said angrily.
“Sapphire, just chill, okay?”. Evelyn said.
I sat down furiously. “I cant do that, i ‘m pissed off right now”.
“Kim is coming so we can find a way to get at that Elsa”. Evelyn said.
“What do you have in mind?”. I asked.
“Kim can only help us if Justin is involved”.
“But Justin is not involved in this Elsa stuff”. I said concerned.
She winked at me. “I have it under control”.
The door opened and Kimberly came in.
“I got your message”. She sat down. “So whats up”.
“Elsa Reyes”. Evelyn told her.
“I thought we are past that issue”. Kimberly said confused.
“Can you believe Kyle kissed her? I saw it this morning”.
“Are you telling me that girl kissed Kyle again? Damn, she went too far”.
“Thats what I’m telling Sapphire, we should show that Elsa girl who’s boss”. Evelyn suggested.
“Maybe Kyle is just playing her, you know how he does. He always come back to you”. Kimberly said.
“Not this time, i’m certain that he likes Elsa”.
“How sure are you?”.
“He called me his fucking buddy because of her and said we had nothing special”. I replied.
“Kyle did that to you?”. Kimberly asked shocked.
“Yep”.
“Thats why we should find a way to drag Elsa down to the low”. Evelyn said.
“But how do we do that?”. I asked. “I mean she has people on her side”.
Kimberly agreed. “Sapphire is right, she has Bryan, Carl and Kyle”.
“And apparently Justin”. Evelyn added.
“Wait!! Justin?”. Kimberly shouted.
“What do you mean by Justin?”. I asked confused.
Evelyn waved her phone. “Dawn just sent me a message, Justin and Elsa are seat partners in Calculus, they also went to class together”.
“How dare that Elsa? Justin is my boyfriend”. Kimberly hit her fists on the table angrily.
“Tell Dawn to send a pic”. I told Evelyn.
“Sure thing”.
I faced Kim. “Look that Elsa is trouble and we need to get her out fast”.
“That Elsa is gonna regret coming to SpringCity High”. Kimberly gritted.
I smiled inwardly. If Kimberly is in, that means Elsa is getting it for good.
That serves her right for trying to take Kyle away from me.
“Here is it”. Evelyn showed Kim her phone.
“I swear I’ll kill Elsa”. Kimberly said furiously.
I smiled at Evelyn, we must got what we wanted. For Kimberly to get angry at Elsa and thats just what we need.
Get ready. Elsa Reyes.
“I have an idea”. Evelyn said.
“Shoot”.
“You know Elsa shouldn’t be able to have anyone, not Kyle, not Carl, not Justin and not even Bryan”. She said.
I raised an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?”.
“We need to make sure she has no where to go to if something happens”.
“And do we do that?”. Kim asked.
“By taking everyone away, but first Bryan”.
I crossed my arms. “Bryan?”.
Evelyn smirked. “Bryan for sure likes Elsa and I know that if we can turn it to hatred then we can ruin her”.
“Lets just try to divert Bryan’s attention from her. Who knows? He might be her weakness”. Kim added.
I laughed inwardly. I’m so happy.
Elsa Reyes, you took Kyle away from me and I’m gonna get Bryan.
🍭Elsa🍭
“And thats what happened”. I said to Beverly as we took a seat in the cafeteria.
“That girl got some nerves”. Beverly said.
“Are you not supposed to sit with them?”.
“I got kicked out of the cheerleading team”. She replied.
“What? When?”. I asked surprised.
“Long story”.
I poked her. “Come on, Beverly tell me”.
“They had it in for you and wanted me to be part of them but I refused”.
“You gave up your cheerleading position for me?”.
She smiled. “Of course, you are my bestie”.
“But what did they exactly want?”.
“Sapphire was looking for a way to being you down so she asked me how she can do that like your weakness or something but I didn’t tell her”.
She explained. “And she used my nude photos against me”.
“That was when Carl helped you?”.
She nodded. “Yeah”.
“Beverly, what if she had uploaded those pictures?”.
“Well thanks to Carl, she didn’t and thats why I owe him one”.
“And thats why you are going on a date with him”. I teased her.
“Yeah yeah back to that Gabriella stuff, what did she mean by that?”.
I shrugged. “I don’t know”.
“But seriously Elsa, there’s something we are missing here”.
“I’ve thought about it and I looked for possible reasons why Kyle could hate Bryan”.
“Probably because of a girl?”. She suggested.
“Yeah but maybe something more than that, maybe something extreme”.
She nodded. “You are right because why would his girlfriend leave him after hearing it? It must have being something horrible”.
“Bryan cant be that horrible”.
“Elsa is defending Prince-charming”. She teased me.
I hit her playfully. “Stop it”.
“But seriously Elsa, you are totally falling for Bryan and thats way too cool”.
I looked at her. “You think its gonna work out?”.
“Of course and forget Gabriella, just trust Bryan and i’m sure if there’s something he wants you to know, he’ll tell you”. She assured me.
“Thanks Beverly, you are the best bestie ever”.
“Awww, i’m blushing”. She cooed.
I laughed. “You need a checkup”.
Beverly frowned immediately.
I turned back and tried to look but my sight was covered immediately. Something was thrown on me and I smelt … Spaghetti.
I removed it from my face but there were more on my hair.
I stood up and saw Sapphire laughing along with her crew. How dare she?
I went to a table and took a milkshake then walked to Sapphire throwing it on her.
She shrieked as the whole cafeteria gasped staring at us.
She moved her hand but to slap me but she was held back.
“Sapphire, are you out of your mind?”. Kyle shouted at her.
“You are on her side?”. Sapphire shrieked.
“I warned to stay away from her”. Kyle said pushing her.
I ignored them and left the cafeteria running away.
I stopped by a locker and removed strands of spaghetti on my hair dumping it in a nearby trash bin.
My hair felt slimy as I touched it.
“Are you okay?”.
I turned to see Kyle. “What do you want?”.
“I just wanted to see how you are doing”.
“How I am doing? Your stupid girlfriend just embarrassed me right back there”.
“I’m really sorry for what she did and__”.
I cut him off. “I don’t wanna hear it, just stay away from me Kyle”.
“Thats the problem”. He shouted. “I can not stay away from you”.
“Kyle”. I started to say.
“Elsa, you are the first girl I’ve ever met that has just maybe managed to take my breath away, when I kissed you, it was as if my cold heart was melted”.
What the hell is he saying? All i hear are just cheesy words.
“Kyle I don’t get you”.
He walked closer to me.
“What are you__”.
He interrupted me with a kiss.
Episode 23 : Secrets Revealed
Elsa🌲
“Kyle I don’t get you”.
He walked closer to me.
“What are you__”.
He interrupted me with a kiss.
I pushed him away cleaning my lips. “Don’t you ever do that again”.
“Elsa, come on, just admit. You like me”.
“What the heck is your problem?”. I shouted.
He scoffed. “My problem?”.
“Yeah your problem because you always cause trouble for everyone being the proud and conceited jerk you are”.
“Is that how you see me?”. He asked softly.
“Thats how you are”.
“You also think I’m the bad guy too, why cant you just don’t judge me for once?”.
“You don’t want me to judge you? Then just stop all this, you can’t just kiss me out of the blues”. I told him.
“Elsa, i like you”.
I paused. “You like me?”.
“For some reason, i can’t stop thinking about you and__”.
“Kyle please just stop this, i like someone else”. I said interrupting him.
“Just give me a try, Elsa”.
“And how am I sure that you won’t play like all the other girls just like Gabriella”.
He didn’t say anything.
“Kyle, please I do not want you near me at all”. I said and walked away.
“Its all because of him, right?”.
I stopped and turned. “What?”.
“You are refusing me because of him”.
“Okay fine, I admit it I like Bryan”. I told him.
“Well thats a pity because you don’t really know who he is”.
“What are you talking about?”. I asked confused.
“I’m talking about the fact that he’s hiding himself under a true facade”.
“I don’t know what he did to you that made you hate him that much but I’m sure Bryan has an explanation for whatever he did”.
“So he hasn’t told you what he did?”. He chuckled. “Thats why you are defending him”.
“I’m defending him because I know Bryan”.
“You don’t know Bryan and you do not know what he is capable of”.
“Why do you keep painting him like a bad guy or something? What did he ever do to you?”. I asked curious.
“Ask him yourself when you see him”. He said and walked off.
What the hell did he just say? What is he talking about?
“Elsa!!”.
I looked ahead to see Beverly coming towards me.
“Hey”.
“Are you okay? Sorry about what Sapphire did back there”. She said concerned.
“I’m fine, just that my hair isn’t in a good condition”. I told her.
“Come on, lets go wash your hair”.
I followed her to the girls locker room and I washed my hair in one of the shower cubicles.
Beverly found a towel and dried my hair with it.
“Do you think Bryan is a bad person?”. I asked all of a sudden.
She paused. “No why would you say that?”.
“Kyle, when he talked to me, it felt like__”.
“Just ignore Kyle”. She said interrupting me.
I sighed. “But Bryan must have done something extreme for Kyle to hate him that much”.
Beverly looked at me. “Elsa, Kyle wants you to hate Bryan, thats just it”.
“But__”.
She cut me off. “No buts, talk about something else”.
“Kyle said he likes me”.
She removed the towel and my hair fell down past my shoulders, it was still curly but kinda wet.
She gave me my backpack as we went out of the girls locker room.
“Beverly, did you hear what I said?”. I asked as we walked.
“I heard you”.
“Won’t you say something?”.
She stopped. “I thought we were past this issue of Kyle”.
“Beverly”.
“He’s only out to get you and you will be classified as stupid if you succumb to his desires”.
“But what if he’s not lying?”.
“Elsa, you have to choose, i thought you liked Bryan then why do you care if Kyle likes you?”. She asked me.
I sighed. “I don’t know, its just that I wanna know what happened between both of them”.
“Stop this stupid curiosity, if Bryan wants you to know what happened, he will tell you”.
“What if Kyle is right? That Bryan is hiding himself under a true facade?”.
“What If Bryan actually did something horrible to Kyle, will you leave him like the others?”.
I ignored her question.
“I just asked a question, will you leave Bryan for Kyle just like Gabriella did?”.
“If I find out the truth then I’ll decide”.
The bell rang signaling Lunch break over.
“You know you have got to make up your mind, Bryan or Kyle”. She said and walked away.
I thought of it as I went to my next class, Bryan or Kyle? I do like Bryan a lot but what if they are secrets that I don’t know?
“Finally school is over”. I said to Beverly as we walked out of the school buildings.
“Yeah I can not wait to get home”. Beverly said.
“So you can prepare for your date”. I teased her.
She rolled her eyes. “You are not okay”.
“Beverly!!”.
We looked back to see Carl coming over.
I nudged her. “Your boyfriend is here”.
She blushed. “Elsa just stop it”.
“Hey”. Carl smiled at her.
“I’ll wait by my car”. I told Beverly and left them to talk.
I went over to the school parking lot and walked to my car.
I looked around, where the heck is Tristan? I finally sighted him among some group of freshman, he seemed to be the leader because they were all focused on him.
Then he exchanged handshakes with them before running over to me.
“Where is Beverly?”. He asked looking around.
“Are you still angry at me?”. I asked lowly.
“Maybe”. He replied.
“How about I buy you whatever you want? Huh? Do you like that?”. I asked him.
He turned to me. “I want a brand new skateboard”.
“Okay fine, i’ll get it for you”. I agreed.
He hugged me suddenly. “I can’t stay angry at you, Elsie”.
I hugged him back. “I love you so much, Tristan”.
He pulled away. “But i’m still getting my skateboard right?”.
I ruffled his hair affectionately. “You cheat”.
He removed my hand. “Stop that”.
“Oh right, your dumb girly fans might be watching”. I mocked him playfully.
He rolled his eyes. “At least I have girly fans”.
“How was classes?”. I asked him.
“Victoria wasn’t in class”.
I looked at him. “Yeah Bryan wasn’t at school too”.
“Do you think its__”.
I cut him off. “Don’t think about it, she’ll show up tomorrow”.
“Why are we standing by the car anyways?”. He asked.
“I’m waiting, she’s still talking with her boyfriend”. I told him.
“Beverly has a boyfriend?”.
“He’s right there”. I pointed at Carl who was still talking with Beverly.
“Oh”. He faced me. “What about you?”.
“I don’t have a boyfriend yet”.
“Your love life sucks”. He said.
I hit him playfully. “Dumbs”.
“Hey, watch it”.
I laughed at his expression then I looked ahead to see Beverly coming towards us.
Tristan sighed. “Finally, i wanna get some rest”.
We got into the car, Beverly seated at the front beside me while only Tristan was at the back.
“So how was it?”. I asked her as I drove.
She squealed excitedly. “We are going on a date at a fancy place”.
She told me all about it as I drove to her house, i parked by a curb as usual and we got down.
Tristan went out of the car and ran into the house.
“Is everything okay between you guys now?”. Beverly asked.
“Yeah we made up but I owe him a new skateboard”.
She laughed. “Classic Tristan”.
“Beverly”. I called as we walked into the house.
“Yeah?”.
“Do you think I should tell him the whole thing?”. I asked.
She stopped. “Maybe you should wait when you are ready, okay?”.
“Yeah you are right. Now tell me more about your date”.
She smiled. “He’s picking me up by six”.
“Will your Mum let you?”. I asked concerned.
“Of course”. She replied.
We went up the stairs and I followed her to her room.
“So what are you going to wear?”.
She flopped on her bed. “I really don’t know, Elsa”.
“Well good luck on that, i’ll be in my room if you need me”. I said and walked out.
I went to my room stepping in, i closed the door behind me and dropped my backpack a side.
I sat on my bed as I removed my shoes, i’m really happy for Beverly. She got asked out by her crush and everything seems right for her.
Unlike me, it took years for Kyle to notice me.
When Kyle had told me he liked me, if it was the former me then I would have jumped for joy.
But now I refused him and because of Bryan. I flopped on the bed as i thought about him. Bryan Stark.
I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Minutes later, i came out and dried myself before changing into casual clothes.
I walked out of my room and went to Beverly’s room.
I knocked before entering and met her pressing her phone.
“Elsa, what do you need?”.
“Do you know where Bryan lives?”.
“Aww, Elsa wants to go look for her prince charming, how sweet”. She teased me.
“Haha, very funny”. I said sarcastically.
“Why do you wanna know where he stays?”.
“So I would maybe find out why he isn’t at school today”. I told her.
She sighed. “Fine, i’ll ask Carl”.
“When you have his address, tell me. I wanna check up on Tristan”.
She nodded and I left her room heading towards Tristan’s room. I opened his door and met him on his phone.
“Tristan”.
“Yeah?”. He said still staring at his phone.
“I wanna head out for a little while, can you stay alone?”.
“Yeah sure”.
I turned to ho but he stopped me.
“Elsie”.
I faced him. “Hmm?”.
“Can I go out with some friends? Just a few friends”.
“Sure but be back before 6”. I told him and left his room.
I came out and met Beverly standing by the stairway.
“Did you get it?”.
She nodded and showed me her phone.
“Can you locate it?”. She asked.
“I was born in SpringCity, remember? I can find his house”.
She shrugged. “Okay but when you get there, just text me”.
“Sure thing”. I told her.
“But why do you meed Bryan’s address?”.
“I told you before”.
“The truth, Elsa”. She said.
I sighed. “I need to know if Bryan is as bad as Kyle says”.
“Okay then what if he is really bad? Will you leave him?”.
I paused. “What?”.
“Think about it, Elsa. If Bryan is just like Kyle says then are you gonna leave him just like the others?”.
I ignored it running down the stairs and went out of the main house. What Beverly says reminded me of what Gabriella told me. That if I know the truth then I’ll leave Bryan.
I need to know whats going on between Kyle and Bryan. If there is more to this and maybe if Kyle is right about Bryan.
(Me writer ✍️questioned, what if Elsa die on this story.😁)
Episode 24 : The Ultimatum
💜Beverly💜
I watched as Elsa went out the main door. This girl is just something else.
I went back to my room and flipped through clothes in my wardrobe looking for the perfect choice.
Carl had said casual but I don’t even know what Casual is.
I finally decided on a Gray sweater that says ‘bad’, ripped dark jeans and white low cut converse.
I took my handbag and shoved my phone in it.
I swept my blonde hair over my shoulder before wearing bangs.
I went out of my room going down the stairway and stopped surprised to see Carl, he was laughing and talking with Tristan.
“Carl?”. I asked surprised.
He stood up. “Hey Beverly”.
“He’s the hot dude you are going out with?”. Tristan asked.
I blushed. “Tristan!!”.
Carl chuckled. “Yeah I’m the hot dude”.
My cheeks flushed at what he said.
“So shall we?”. He asked.
“Tristan, i’ll be back later”. I told Tristan.
We went out of the main house and walked towards his car in the driveway.
Before I could open the door myself, he ran around and helped me in.
It kind of reminded me of those rich people and their chauffeurs.
“Thanks”. I said as I got into the car.
He sat at the driver’s seat and started the car driving into the streets.
“So where exactly are we going?”.
“We”. He paused. “We are going to the batting cages”.
Isn’t that where people practice batting? I wasn’t so sure about this.
I started fidgeting on my seat.
“Are you okay?”. He asked.
“We are going to batting?”. I asked in disbelief.
His face fell. “You don’t like it?”.
“No!”. I quickly reassured him. “Its just that I’m not good at sports and I don’t want to embarrass myself”.
He chuckled. “Well I like sports so I decided to share my interests with you”.
“But I can’t play”. I argued.
“So? Its a date not a competition besides I’ll teach you”.
“See? I suck!!”. I exasperated sending the aluminum bat clanking to the ground.
“Try again”. He said giving me the bat.
“Carl?”. I called.
“Yeah?”.
“Can I ask you something about Bryan?”. I told him.
He stared at me weirdly. “Is this about Elsa?”.
I was taken aback. “How did you?”.
“Well I do know that Kyle must have said or told something to make her curious”.
“Is this how it always is? Kyle deceiving his girlfriends?”.
“Yep”. He replied.
I wanted to say something but he turned his attention back to what we were playing.
“So back to the bat”.
“I can’t play”.
“Let me help you”.
He wrapped his hands around me and held my hands in place around the bat. A ball shoot out of the machine making me block my face.
“Relax, Beverly. I’m not gonna let the ball hit you”.
I knew he wouldn’t.
Another ball popped out and Carl moved my arms to swing the bat, the ball hit the fence and was now rolling back to us.
“I did it”. I shouted.
Carl looked at me. “You did it? Or we did it”.
“Nah”.
He rolled his beautiful eyes. “Now you are going to try again but this time, only you”.
“I don’t think I can do this myself”.
“Just try, Beverly”.
He gave me an encouraging smile, handed the bat to me and backed up against the fence.
I waited for the swoosh of the cannon before I swung.
I whacked the ball, it didn’t go as far as it did with Carl but I still hit it.
I giddily let go of the bat and leaped into Carl’s inviting arms which gladly caught me and spun me around.
“Did you see that? I hit it”. I cheered.
He laughed. “You did kinda great”.
“Can we try again?”. I asked eager to swing the bat again.
“Sure but lets go meet some friends”.
He held my hand as we ventured into the hallway. “Hey Justin, Tommy”.
We approached a kinda muscular guy who I guess its Tommy.
He and Carl did one of those bro hug things which I never for once understood.
“Sup, man. Who’s this?”. Tommy asked.
“This”. Carl said tangling our hands together. “Is Beverly”.
I smiled at him. “Hi”.
“Beverly!!”.
I looked over to see Kimberly with Justin and she was waving at me. Weird, i thought she doesn’t likes me. I gave her a little smile.
“Is she the hot cheerleader you mentioned?”. The tommy guy asked.
“Yep she’s the one”. Justin shouted at where he was.
I looked at Carl, did I just see a tint of blush go through his cheeks.
Carl talked about me? Flattering.
“Tommy Barkers”. The guy said.
“Beverly Smith”. I replied.
“Soon to be Beverly Kris”. I heard Justin said.
“Dude!! You gotta shut that trap mouth”. Carl told him off.
“So are you two like a couple?”.
“She’s my girlfriend”. Carl replied.
“Oh finally you’ve gotten over Brie”.
Carl glared at Tommy immediately.
“Who’s Brie?”. I asked Carl.
Justin ran over. “This dude talks too much”. He said and dragged the Tommy guy away.
“C’mon lets go batting”. Carl took me back to where we were before.
“Who is Brie?”. I confronted him about it.
“Uh, no one”. He replied nervously.
I crossed my arms. “Carl”.
He sighed. “Brie Lawson. She’s Kyle’s ex girlfriend”.
“Is that it?”. I asked.
“She’s the reason behind this Bryan and Kyle issue”. He continued.
“And?”.
“Lets just say something happened to Brie that made Kyle develop a hatred for Bryan”.
“Did Bryan do something bad?”. I asked curious.
“Whatever he did back then, he was not in his right state of mind. I really don’t care about it anymore because he’s my best friend and whatever happened is in the past”.
“What happened to Brie?”.
💯Elsa💯
I stopped at Bryan’s place as I stared at it, should I go in? His house was really big.
I knocked on the gate but no reply, then i sighted an intercom at the front of the gate and pressed it, a buzz sound came up.
The gate unlocked and I stepped in.
“Miss”.
I looked sideways to see a man, maybe he’s the one who opened the gate.
“I’m here for Bryan Stark”. I told him.
He took me to the main house and I stopped seeing Victoria.
She was at a swing in front of their porch, her head buried in a book.
“Vic”. I called.
She looked up. “Elsa?”.
The man or Gatekeeper, i presume, left and went back to the gate.
I smiled. “Hey”.
“You came to see Bryan”. She said.
I nodded. “Yeah, is he in?”.
The main door opened and a girl walked out probably like in her early twenties.
“Tori, who’s this?”. She asked.
“Bryan’s girlfriend”.
Did Victoria just call me Bryan’s girlfriend?
I blushed. “I wouldn’t say girlfriend”.
“Oh Elsa, nice to finally meet you”. She pulled me into a hug.
After a while she pulled away. “I’m Mia, Bryan’s older sister”.
She looked strikingly gorgeous. She had light brown hair just like Bryan but this time, sage colored eyes.
“I guess I don’t need to introduce myself since you know me already”. I told her.
She flashed me a smile. “Yeah by the way Bryan is in”.
She ushered me into the main house and I gaped in wonder.
Everything was really classy in here and looking wow.
“Bryan is somewhere around here. I’ll just go out with Tori”. Mia said and left.
I walked around nervously, she didn’t even tell me why Bryan is.
Gosh!!! This house is really large.
I walled ahead on the tiled vinyl floor and finally got to the kitchen which was so like wow.
I wanted to leave but I paused seeing Bryan.
He sat on the kitchen counter eating an apple with his phone in his hand.
“Bryan”.
He looked up and his apple fell down in shock.
He quickly got down and picked the apple throwing it in the trash can.
“How did you know where I live?”. He asked staring at me.
I crossed my arms. “Why were you not in school today?”.
“You missed me”. He stated with a smile.
I shrugged. “Maybe, i thought you were dead”.
“If I was dead, why would you care?”.
“Probably because I’m your girlfriend”. I joked.
He chuckled. “Let me guess, you met my sister. Mia”.
I nodded. “Yep”.
He smiled as he walked out of the kitchen, i followed him as we walked back into the sitting room.
“How was school?”.
“So boring and you would not believe what Sapphire did to me”. I said angrily.
He sat on a couch. “What did she do?”.
“She threw Spaghetti on me, like literally all over me”.
“But you washed it out”. He pointed out.
“Yeah Beverly helped me out. Is there anything you wanna tell me?”. I asked.
He looked at me. “Like what?”.
I sat on the couch. “I don’t know, you tell me”.
He shrugged. “Apart from the fact that you look beautiful right now, i have nothing to say”.
“Bryan, we need to talk”.
He sat up. “If its about fighting then I’m not gonna teach you now”.
“No not that”.
“Oh then what?”. He asked.
Okay!! How do I do this? Elsa, just say it.
“Elsa?”.
I exhaled. “I need to know what happened between you and Kyle”.
He frowned. “Whats all this?”.
“What are you not telling me?”. I asked him curious.
“Kyle told you to ask me, didn’t he?”.
“I just need to know why he hates you so much”.
He stood up. “I can’t tell you, Elsa”.
“Why not?”.
He faced me. “Because I don’t want you to leave me”.
“I’m not going to do that”. I told him.
“Thats what y’all say at first”. He paced around.
I stood up. “Bryan, just tell me. How am I caught up in all mess?”.
“You are not caught up in any mess”.
“I just need to know why Kyle keep hurting you, why is Kyle bent on getting closer to me?”.
“What?”.
“Kyle. He told me he likes me”.
Bryan sat back on the couch and buried his head between his knees. He really looked fragile.
I crouched in front of him. “Bryan, i promise i won’t judge you”.
He sniffed. “What I did was really bad”.
“How bad was it?”. I asked softly.
He looked up, i could see tears glistening in his eyes.
“It was really bad and I was supposed to go to Jail for it”. He said tearfully.
“What?”. I asked shocked.
His tears dropped.
“What did you do?”.
“I never meant to hurt Brie”.
Brie? Who’s that?
“Who’s Brie?”.
Tears rolled down his cheeks. “Brie Lawson”.
Episode 25 : Betrayal
💚Elsa🌲
“I never meant to hurt Brie”.
Brie? Who’s that?
“Who’s Brie?”.
Tears rolled down his cheeks. “Brie Lawson”.
“She was everything to him and I took her away”. He sniffed. “I didn’t mean to”.
“Bryan, its okay. You can tell me”.
“I can’t okay?”.
I stood up. “Just tell me what the fuck is going on? Is that too much to ask?”.
“Did Kyle tell you anything?”.
“What if Kyle told me something? You know, I’m beginning to believe Kyle”.
“What?”. He asked in surprise.
“Maybe Kyle is right after all”.
“Brie caused it all, if she hadn’t treated me that way then maybe all that wouldn’t have happened”.
I sat next to him. “Bryan”.
He looked away. “Elsa, maybe you should leave”.
I scoffed. “Really? You are kicking me out of your house?”.
“I’m just trying to protect you from the truth”.
I flared up. “What stupid truth? What the heck are you hiding?”.
“I do not want you to get involved in all this”.
“I never knew you were such a liar. I thought we had something special and no secrets between us”. I fired at him.
He stood up. “I’m a liar? You haven’t even heard the truth and you are criticizing me”.
“Why won’t I? You are hiding something and maybe its as bad as Kyle painted it to be”.
“Yes, Elsa, its really bad and I can’t tell you but don’t you have secrets too?”. He asked.
My breath hitched as I remembered my own secrets.
“You also have secrets”. He continued. “I prefer my secrets to be kept in the dark because I do not need anyone to pity me when I tell them all I’ve gone through”.
“I don’t even want you to tell me anymore”.
“Fine suit yourself”.
“I will”. I told him. “And maybe I’ll go to Kyle maybe he can tell me the truth”.
His eyes crinkled. “Elsa, stay away from Kyle”.
“Stay away from Kyle, thats all you ever say. But you never give me enough reason why”.
“That is because I do not want you to end up like them, dejected and used like all of them”. He explained.
I paused. “I will never allow Kyle to use me”.
“And thats why I said you should stay away from him because he’s worse than you think”.
I crossed my arms. “How am I sure that you are Kyle is the bad guy here?”.
He cupped my cheeks. “Elsa, just stay away from Kyle”.
I removed his hands. “Give me a good reason why I should trust you”.
“I like you okay, like really like you”. He said. “I think I’ve fallen in love with you”.
“That is not going to suffice because if you really love me then you will tell me everything”.
He didn’t say anything.
“I thought as much”.
I turned to go but he held me back hugging me from behind.
He laid his head on my shoulders.
“Elsa, please don’t leave”. He said.
Is it me or do I feel tear drops on my shoulder.
“Elsa, please you said you wouldn’t judge me”. He cried on my shoulder.
I shrugged out of his hold and ran out of his house without looking back.
I stepped out of the gate and the tears that I’ve been holding back fell freely.
I squatted on the floor as I cried the more.
I’m so sorry Bryan but you have to tell me the truth so I will know the real you. I really want to know why happened between you and Kyle.
I can’t be with you if they are secrets involved.
🌧️Beverly🌴
“Lets just say something happened to Brie that made Kyle develop a hatred for Bryan”.
“Did Bryan do something bad?”. I asked curious.
“Whatever he did back then, he was not in his right state of mind.
I really don’t care about it anymore because he’s my best friend and whatever happened is in the past”.
“What happened to Brie?”. I asked curious.
“Can we please talk about something else?”. His voice was low.
“Okay lets go batting again. I want to hit a home run into a fence”. I told him.
He chuckled quietly. “Lets see you try”.
I really like batting, like really like it. It was so much fun!! And I wasn’t too bad, i mean I couldn’t actually play baseball but at least I can hit the thing.
That by itself was an accomplishment so Carl took me out again to celebrate. Its like maybe another date but at a restaurant.
Carl had taken me to this cute little bakery hidden in the midst of downtown. I’ve never heard of it, much to Carl’s shock.
“So you’ve never been here before”. He asked again.
“Yes whats the big deal?”.
“And you are sure that you grew up in SpringCity?”.
I crossed my arms. “Whats the big deal?”.
He shook his head negatively. “Nothing, just surprised”.
“How do you know about this place?”.
“Back then, Mia always took Bryan and I down here every weekend to eat cupcakes because their cupcakes were the best and it still is”. He explained.
I took a bite from my chocolate chip muffin and stopped when I saw Carl videotaping it.
“Carl!! You don’t need to do that”. I objected covering my face.
“You’ll want to know what your face looks like when you try the best thing in the world. Now uncover that pretty face of yours and eat your muffin”. He told me.
“I can’t eat with your phone in my face”.
“Sure you can, just pretend you are not looking at me”.
“But I’m not”. I argued.
“Use your imagination. I’m sure you imagine me every time you close your eyes”.
I blushed at what he said. “You are crazy”.
“I’m so adorably cute”. He replied.
“Yeah, you are so adorably cute”. I said dreamily.
He chuckled softly and I snapped out of it immediately. But I mean, Carl is really adorably cute, you know.
“Beverly, you are stunningly gorgeous”. He complimented me. “You know, if we were in Hollywood, we would be the golden couple”.
“Too bad. I’m not going to Hollywood, what about you?”. I asked him.
“Definitely going to maybe Chicago. Fame, fortune and Sports? I’m there”.
“Don’t forget the girls!!”. I joked.
“You were the only girl I need”. He replied.
I rejoiced inwardly as butterflies danced around in my stomach at what he said.
“You are corny”. I told him.
“If you are cheesy, we could be popcorn”.
I laughed at what he said and took a bite out of my chocolate muffin. And boy it was so good.
“This is wonderfully delicious”.
“Told you. Now do you want to see your face?”. He asked me.
I gasped. “Hey!! You distracted me”.
He shrugged. “It worked, didn’t it?”.
“I suppose … “. I trailed off.
Carl replayed the video for me and when it was over, i lunged for his phone which he slipped into his pocket smoothly.
“Delete that”. I screamed.
“Relax, Beverly”. He told me. “They are other customers here”.
I rolled my eyes. “Carl, just please delete it”.
“Or ..?”.
I thought of what to say.
“Or I won’t sleep with you”. I told him off.
“So you are saying, if I delete this then you will sleep with me?”.
“No!!”.
“Then I’m not deleting it”.
“You are blackmailing me”.
He smiled staring at me.
I sank my teeth into the moist chocolaty heaven, pouting. I smiled too as I watched him.
“Okay I’ll delete it”. He said.
I exhaled in relief. “Thank goodness”.
He pressed something on his phone before he dropped it on the table.
“So lets talk”. He said.
I raised my eyebrows. “About what?”.
“You, me and us. Something like lets know more about each other”.
“How about secrets? And it must be the truth so you start”.
He nodded. “I really like you Beverly and I hope that you would go into a relationship with me”.
My eyes beamed. “For real?”.
“Yeah”.
I giggled. “Awww, thats so sweet”.
“Okay? Your turn”.
I cleared my throat. “I’ve had a crush on you ever since I joined the cheerleading team”.
“I knew it!!”. He interjected.
“Excuse me?”.
He grinned. “I knew you had a crush on me but I just wasn’t sure”.
“Oh really? How did you know?”. I asked in disbelief.
“Okay. Freshman year, Gym class. You always stared at me”.
I blushed red at what he said, he was really saying the truth.
I always stared at him all the time, probably stalking him.
“Okay fine, i had a crush on you. Back to your turn”. I said taking a bite out of my muffin.
He sighed. “Brie Lawson is dead”.
I paused. “What?”.
He looked at me. “She died four years ago”.
I dropped my muffin. “Is there more to this?”.
“Brie was the perfect girl, charming, sweet, jovial, an A+ student and also jovial”.
He told me. “Which was why I liked her along with Bryan and Kyle”.
“Then what happened?”.
“Well we all tried our luck but Brie only liked Kyle and she accepted him then they began dating”.
I stared at Carl as he talked.
“I felt dejected and sore that I was refused by a girl, I got over it but Bryan never did”.
He continued. “Kyle always taunted Bryan rubbing it in his face that he was better than him”.
I reached across the table and took Carl’s hand squeezing his palm softly.
“Bryan still wanted to show Brie that he really liked her so he took the risks of telling her in public but she humiliated him in front of everyone and everybody”.
Carl explained. “He was laughed at by Brie and her friends along with Kyle”.
He exhaled calmly. “That party night, Brie did it again. She embarrassed him badly, she .. “. He trailed off.
“Its okay if you don’t wanna tell me”. I said softly.
“I do want to tell you so that you can tell Elsa so she would know that Bryan is a good person, he’s just caught under bad circumstances, thats all”. He said wistfully.
“Oh”.
He was about to talk when his phone rang interrupting him. I watched him as he stared at the screen weirdly.
“Mia”. He said as he picked the call.
Who’s Mia? He made mention of her before, probably his sister.
He looked at me. “Yeah, i’m busy with my girlfriend right now”.
Awww, he called me his girlfriend.
“No, Bryan hasn’t called me”.
I could see his face change to worry as he listened to whatever the Mia person said.
“What happened to him?”. His voice sounded hoarse.
He listened for a while before he slowly dropped his phone.
“Carl? What happened?”.
He ran his hands through his hair nervously as his face etched with worry. “Its all happening all over again”.
“Carl?”. I called softly. “Did something happen?”.
His beautiful eyes looked sad. “That was Mia, Bryan’s sister”.
“Why did she call? It sounded urgent”.
“Bryan is no where to be found”.
