“Where did you get this car?” Natalie asked, as Jade drove slowly.
“Borrowed it from John. He actually persuaded the the lounge officials for me” Jade replied.
“I see” Natalie said.
“So, which boutique we are going to?” She asked.
“I know one and they give good discounts and sell quality clothes. You’ll like it” Jade smiled.
Natalie nodded.
“Its quite sunny, you know” Jade cooed, her eyes now in front.
Natalie eyes looked out of the window.
“No long talk about that” She answered, inspecting the weather.
“Then, you must feel thirsty. I bought 2 cups of espresso for us. Here” Jade took it from beside, and handed it to Natalie.
“Yo, thanks. I was actually craving for this” Natalie said.
Jade smiled shortly when she saw Natalie gulping down the content from the cup.
“Because of you, Jayden also forgot about me” Jade thought.
★ FLASH BACK=3 YEARS AGO ★
Since when Jade arrived to WSU, she hasn’t stepped her eyes on Jayden.
It has been 2 weeks now.
He hasn’t been attenfing class,
Submitting assignments.
And going for project works.
When Jade asked Desmond what was going wrong.
He had replied, Jayden wasn’t feeling too well. He still hasn’t gone over Natalie yet.
The picture the anonyms had sent him made him depressed and devastated.
“So, where’s he now?” Jade asked.
“His special room. That’s his main room. He just prefers staying with I and Clark”
“Can I go see him?”
“What! Have you gone nuts? Leave the guy. He needs space and rest. By the way, why do you need to see him so much. Do you even know him?” Desmond scoffed.
“You won’t understand” Jade said
“Just leave Jayden for now. If you want to see him, that should be later when his mind has settled down, okay? If you go to him now, he might ignore or vent on you” Desmond advised.
“Okay then” Jade replied.
A WEEK LATER**
“You’re aren’t serious, truthfully speaking. Suddenly? You wanna come to school? Because of today’s examination” Desmond said as the 3 friends walked fast to the hall.
“Leave him. He doesn’t wanna fail” Clark chuckled.
“Hmphh! Are you sure he won’t still fail? He hasn’t been reading lately!” Desmond rolled his eyes.
“And don’t tell me you don’t know who Jayden is. He’s smart as f*ck. Very brillant dude. Please, let be best friends even in our next life” Clark smiled, widely.
However, Jayden was just silently cold
Jade who was coming in front smiled when she saw Jayden for the very first time since she came to WSU.
She walked faster to him.
“Hi” She waved, looking at him.
Jayden looked at her coldly for a while before throwing his face away.
He left her without uttering a word.
“I told you” Desmond said, indistinctly.
Jade sighed sadly.
AFTER ALL EXAMS=2½ WEEKS LATER**
“Congratulations” Jade smiled.
“I heard you passed the exams” She stretched her hand for a shake.
“Yeah, thanks” He said, ignoring her hand.
“Uh…Okay” She chuckled nervously and took it down.
“You’re Jayden Jovel, right?” Jade asked, slowly.
“Yeah” He answered.
She flashed a smile and nodded.
“Actually, I’m Ja-
“I see you’ve me my sweet cousin. What’s up, Jade?” Desmond interrupted, choking, her, with his arm, playfully.
“Hey, stop” Jade tried pushing him.
“Nice to need you, Jade”
She smiled.
“Yeah…Yeah sure”
“Let’s just take things one at a time, Jane. Like you said before, one stwp at a time. Slow and steady will eventually win the race” She thought.
Well, so as she thought.
Things didn’t end up well for her. Before one could apprehend what was going on, Jayden started flirting around. Booking different girls and using them to satisfy his s*xual urge.
It never stopped…and this made Jade worried though she waited for him. And he did stop, that was when Whitney entered his life.
