Grandma Melody
'Yes, Abby. Make sure to photo copy all of this and give me, Sir Ian a copy. And the original will be for the principal. Got it?" I say
She nods 'Yes I got it."
'Thank you, Abby, you don't know---" 'Hey, Kristen!" Someone calls before I could finish my sentence
'I'll go ahead, no worries" she tells me and I nod
I look over who it was and it's Sebastian.
'Yes?" I ask
'Come with me" he says
'Why?" my eyebrows furrowed. Why does he want me to go with him? We're not even that close.
He just stared at me but no, I'm not going with him. I stood my ground.
'What?" I ask irritated
He rolls his eyes 'I hate that you make me talk too much" he sighed
'If there's nothing else, I need to go" I say, as I turned around, I see Kyle going towards me
'Come on, let's go to lunch" he says and I nod and yawn
Kyle chuckles 'Why are you always sleepy? Didn't get much sleep last night?" he asks and ruffled my hair
I shake my head 'I just woke up early, lack of sleep. Let's go"
'He asks you and okay, I ask you and no" Sebastian says that made me stop, I turn to look at him and raised my eyebrows
'You ask me to come with you, not to eat with you, that's different" I tell him and rolled my eyes
He scoffed and walked away. What's wrong with him? I shake my head
'I think I got some competition" Kyle says
'Competition? You have a game this weekend?" I ask him
'No, silly you" he chuckles 'I mean competition with you. He likes you" he points out
'What? That's ridiculous. Plus, I'm not some kind of trophy for you two to compete with" I say and started walking
He follows 'Well, I know you wouldn't date him. You're not into dating anyway"
I didn't answer and we headed straight to the cafeteria. After getting what we ordered, we sat on the same table with Abby.
'Are you up for a sleepover today?" Abby asks
I shake my head 'I'm sorry. I have a lot of work to do"
'And I have practice for a game coming up" Kyle says
'You know for being the captain of the football team, there are cheerleaders out there who drools over you and here you are chasing someone who doesn't like you" Abby tells him
'Abby" I warn
'It's fine, I'm used to Abby telling me the truth" he sighs
'you're a great guy and I am so comfortable with you being around. It's just that, I only see you as a friend" I tell him
He nods 'I know. I'm happy that you still let me be your friend. That's enough for me" he says
I smile at him. Then suddenly the principal announces something.
'Ms. Kristen Miles, Please, come to the principal's office. Thank you"
'Well, I guess duty calls" I tell them
'Should I go with you?" Abby asks
I shake my head 'No. Just tell Sir Ian what we need to do today." And I turn to Kyle 'See you later" and he nods
I walked towards the principal's office when I felt a pain in my heart that stopped me from my tracks. I held my chest and pressed harder.
I took deep breaths and it somehow stops. I wonder why? Am I nervous? For what reason?
I went in and sat down, to wait for the secretary to call me in. After a few minutes, she called me to go in. I enter his office and then saw Sebastian there sitting.
'Mr. Wood, you called me?" I say as I sit down
He was pinching the bridge of his nose.
'Yes. Can you please take Mr. Harris right here and show him out?" he says and I was confused
'Not that I am being disrespectful but you called me for that Sir?"
'Ms. Miles. He told me to change his schedules, sitting arrangements and just everything so that he can get to you or else he would call his father, who is the Mayor and I know you are aware. ' he says and I don't like one bit what he said
'His father doesn't listen to him; no special treatment was advised but he doesn't seem to get it and still so stubborn" he continues
'I understand. I apologize for his behavior Mr. Wood" I forced a smile
I grabbed his arm, making him to stand up. 'We'll be going" I say and he just gestured for us to go
When we got out. I let go of him.
'What's wrong with you?!" I whisper shout
He just stares at me. There he goes again. I ran my fingers through my hair frustratingly.
'Answer me! I can't believe you're just here for what, a week and you're already getting on my nerves!"
'You talk too much" he just says
'That's it? That's fucking it? God!" I'm going to go crazy with this guy
'I'm asking you out" he says
I stared at him. 'Are you serious? That's your way to ask me out?"
He didn't say anything.
'Then I'm going to answer you the same way I answer guys who asked me out"
'No" he says
'What do you mean no?!"
'I said no. If you're going to say no, then don't answer yet" he says
'You can't stop me" I say
'Then why haven't you said it yet?"
I parted my lips but I couldn't answer him. I don't know why but I just can't say no.
'Ahhhh you're making me crazy!" I say and turn around to leave
He ran towards me catching up, and pat my back.
'Answer me if you change your mind" and then ran off
That crazy guy! Ahhhh he's getting on my last nerves!!!
I was about to take a step when my phone rang. I picked it up.
'What?" I snapped
'Is this Ms. Kristen Miles?" a voice of a woman asked
'I'm sorry. Yes, why? May I know who am I speaking with?" I ask
'Yes uhm, I'm a nurse at CMS, your grandmother is here right now"
My eyes widen. 'Yes, yes. Okay I'm coming"
I franticly ran out and tried to catch a cab but none. I don't want to use my car right now as I am panicking, I don't want to get into an accident.
Then it rains showers started.
'No, no, no. shit no. Why are there no cab right now!" I shout at no one
Then a car stopped. And the window rolled down. It was Sebastian.
'I don't have time for you right now, so scram" I tell him and tried to call Ian but it didn't go through
'You're in a hurry. Come on." He says without a second thought I climb in
I told him where and he started driving. When we got there we both ran inside.
'Who are you looking for?" the nurse asked
'Melody Stewart" we both say, I looked at him and raised an eyebrow and he did the same
'Which one of you is Kristen Miles?" she asks
'Me" I say
'Okay. She's in the recovery room right now. You can see her at room 1023." She said and smiled
'Thanks" I say and ran towards the room she informed me.
When we got there she was sitting and talking to the doctor.
'Ahh, the granddaughter" The doctor says
'Doctor Mike. How is she?" I ask
'She just overworked herself and luckily, she got herself in time or it could have been worse." Dr. Mike explained
I sighed of relief. 'Thank you" I say and smile
'Okay, I'll leave you two be" he says and left
'Grandma! I told you to rest!" I scold her
'You know me. Don't worry, I was just tired. Thank you both for coming. I see you've met my grandson" she says
'What? GRANDSON?!" I shout
'Geez, no need to shout" Sebastian says and walk over to Grandma and kisses her cheek and sat down
'How are you? Do still feel anything?" he asks
'I'm fine dear." She answers
What a small world. So, he is the good for nothing grandson.
I rolled my eyes at him. 'You should've called me if you need something to be done. You had me worried back there"
'I'm sorry. I told the nurse to not inform you but Doctor Mike said I should." She says
'You don't have to apologize. Just next time call me alright?" I tell her and she nods
I look at Sebastian and there he goes again, staring at me and I glared at him.
Then my phone started ringing. I answered it.
'Hey, Kyle"
'Where are you again?" he asks
'Uhm, hospital. My grandma got sick. I'm sorry. I should've inform you"
'It's fine. So, how is she?"
'She's fine. You should go home. I'll be staying here tonight" I tell him
'Okay, call me if you need anything alright?"
I nod even though her can't see me.
'Okay" I say and cut the call.
I turn to Melody once again.
'Who was that? Boyfriend?" Melody asks me.
I look at Sebastian and he was frowning; I look at Melody again.
'No. It's Kyle"
'You should say yes to him you know, he's a great guy" she says
'Can you turn around for a bit?" Sebastian says and I did
Melody chuckled.
'What? Why?" I ask
'Nothing dear. You should go home tonight. Sebastian here will be staying with me" she says and I look at her suspiciously
'Are you sure? I can---" 'Yes dear. Go on. I'll be out tomorrow morning anyway" she tells me and I nod
'Okay then. I'll be going. Make sure to call me and take your medicines, okay?"
'Yes, yes. Got it. Now, go" she says and I left. Closing the door slowly
She was acting suspiciously. I shake my head and brush it off. Then go home.
When I got home, I found a note that Ian went home for tonight. That's great!
I went to my room and prepared myself for a long work. I removed my shirt and I notice something was sticking at the back.
I picked it up and my eyes widen.
'What the…."
