“Green shadow?” Whitney heart skipped.
“I had no choice and I’m not still sorry for what I did” Natalie said curtly.
Whitney scoffed and clenched her fist around the letter, crushing it. It became rough and battered.
She got to her feet and looked at Natalie.
“When did you hear that knock?”
“Last night” She replied.
“The time?”
Natalie glared at her.
“What are you trying to do?”
“Answer me!!” Whitney yelled.
Natalie slightly shivered.
“I was about to go to bed then. So, that should be 10pm or past 10”
Whitney breathed deeply and walked out, slamming the door loudly.
“What’s her problem!” Natalie snarled.

Whitney ran to the hostel security room and greated the few security men in there.
“Please, I need your help” She said, politely.
“What’s that?” One of them asked.
“Can I get the video footage of yesterday. Ranging from 10pm to 11. Big benny hostel, passageway 2?”
The guards exchanged glances.
“Why do you need it? Another asked.
“I lost something valuable and it really important to me. I need to have it as soon as possible” She lied.
“Okay then. We’ll get it for you but not now”
She widened her eyes, disappointedly.
“Why not now?” She asked.
“We actually kept all the videos footages in the same file without remembering to rename them. It might take time to get the time but we’ll contact you when we find it”
She sighed with a nod.
“Alright then. This is my number. Please do give me a call when you get it. It…really important to me” She said, writing her phone number on a paper.
“Here” She handed it to them.
“We’ll contact you. You don’t have to worry much”
“Thank you” She smiled and left.

Whitney went to Jayden’s floor and went to his door. She knocked and it opened before her.
She saw Desmond.
“Is Jayden home?” He asked.
Desmond only smiled and walked in. She followed. She met Clark on the bed, Jayden wasn’t in.
“He isn’t home?” She inquired.
“He was. But he left” Desmond sat on the chair.
“He left with his things, by the way” He added.
“To?” Whitney asked.
“To just own room. That was his room in the first place”
“Did…he tell you why he was leaving?” She asked.
“Its obvious it’s because of me. He feels that I betrayed him” Clark chipped.
“Where’s his room?” I’ll go look for him” Whitney said.
Desmond stood up.
“I’ll take you there”
She nodded and left. Desmond followed her afterwards.
As they walked slowly through the stairs and passageway, they made no sound. written by sommy pearl f.
“Whitney?” He suddenly called breaking the harsh silence between them.
Whitney only spared him a glance.
“Jayden called me green shadow… What’s that?” He asked, slowly.
Whitney legs paused and she looked at him. Desmond faced her.
“Then, Is it true?” She whispered.
“About?” He asked.
Below her eyes were tears, br!m-mln in already.
“You’re green shadow…” Her croaky voice trailerd off.
“Why do you two keep calling me that? What response do you expect from me cause I’m highly puzzled? I don’t even know the meaning of green shadow so how am I supposed to be one? What’s in the h*ll is green shadow??”
“Never mind. Ill find out soon. I don’t wanna get ahead of myself” She muttered, looking at Desmond who had a visible confused look on his face.
“Let’s go” She said, and turned.
Desmond didn’t move though.
“Whitney?” He suddenly called and she stopped, her legs standing stiff on the spot. She refused to even turn to him.
“Do you really like Jayden?” He asked.
“Yes. Why?” She answered, still not facing him.
“You know he’s a player, right?”
“I don’t care” She started walking away.
“He placed a bet of you!!” He yelped, abruptly.
She bulged her eyes out and hurriedly turned, then walked up to him.
“How do you know that?” She quieried, her squinted eyes glinting.
“I have evidence” He said.
Her eyes blinked really fast.
“Evi…Evidence? What are you talking about? What evidence?” Her heart was beating fast now.
“You surprised right?”
“Yeah. Very surprised”
“Listen to this” He said, and scrolled through his recording files in his phone.
“Huh?” He muttered.
“What’s it?” She asked.
“I can’t find it”
“What’s that exactly??”
“The recording. One time, Jayden came back drunk. He kinda spouted something about making a bet on you and I recorded it”
He gave a pause and let out a loud sigh seeing her profound look.
“I know it was bad of me but I had no choice. It was all for your sake, Whitney. I wish the recording was here though. It would have stood for me. I can’t find it”
Whitney remembered the recording green shadow delivered to her.
“He was the one that recorded it?” She thought looking at him.
Desmond looked at her and sighed.
“Believe me. He doesn’t love you. Gosh, The recording was just here. How did it delete? Was it my mistake?”
“He was the one that recorded but not the one that sent it. Green shadow isn’t…Desmond” She whispered.
“Believe me…”
“I don’t believe you. Jayden loves me and I love him too. Nothing is breaking us. Even you or some stupid rumored bet” She muttered. and turned to leave.
“Do you know why I’m doing this??”
“I don’t wanna know. Can you just show me his place?”
“Whitney…I…I love you,,, sincerely” His voice cracked.
Her lips parted and her eyes nervously ran around.
“What…What are you saying? Stop it” She forced a laugh
“I’m serious” He said.
“You shouldn’t be serious cause you know I love Jayden,, for crying out loud! Please,,,, can we just forget we ever had this discussion or I might be really uncomfortable around you”
“I….Okay” He replied, hurtfully.
She looked at him for a while, took more 6 steps further towards him and threw her arms around his neck.
She pushed her body closer and the outcome came as a very friendly warm hug.
“Thank you…” She whispered.
Desmond’s eyes turned dewy.
“For?” He whispered back, not reciprocating the hug.
“For not being green shadow” She replied.
After few seconds, she broke the hug and walked few steps away from him.
“Do you wanna be friends?” She asked and stretched her hand for a shake.
“Am I being friend zoned right now?” He thought hurtfully.
He smiled briefly and accepted her stretched hand.
“Friends?” She whispered.
“Friends” He chirped, feeling the sweet warmess he derived from her palm.
They took their hands down and smiled at each other.
“Desmond? You know what. You can go. I’ll find my way” She said.
“Alright then” He nodded and left.
When he was out of the passageway, close to the cornered wall, he laid his back against it.
He gasped and sniffed loudly, but that still didn’t stop the tear that dropped down his eye.
