Chapter 195 More To Her

• During the last class of the day. Naomi sat behind Trisha and kept staring at her back, the thought that this was the last time she would be seeing was eating her up. She was torn between telling her and just letting nature takes its course. She closed her eyes and heaved a sigh, her heart beating loud in her chest as she zoned out every noise around her, including the teacher’s voice. She glanced outside, at the evening sky and licked her lips. Forcing herself to come back to present, she glanced at the teacher but the board was a blur and so she glanced around the classroom only for her heart to miss a beat when she saw the midnight blue eyes staring at her. She doesn’t know why but at the very moment, she felt calm, the worry that has been plaguing her all afternoon vanished and it was like everything would be okay.
• She held Asher’s gaze, wondering why his gaze brought her peace within herself and also wondering why it feel like she had seen him somewhere, somewhere that wasn’t in the school, somewhere even before he joined the school. They both kept staring at each other, each wanting to dig out the secret of the other until the bell rang, breaking their spell. Naomi quickly looked away at the sound of the bed and started packing her books like the rest of the students. The teacher was yelling out a page for assignment but she was sure not up to half of the class heard him. Her eyes landed on Trisha’s back, she was so happy as she and Rebecca high fived before leaving the classroom. Obviously going to find Tiana, to complete their tripod legs.
• Her hand shook as she clasped her backpack on her shoulder before going out of the class. She paused on the hallway, staring at Trisha, Rebecca and Tiana, the school self-proclaimed queen bees but were actually she devils. She knows a lot of students would think their accidents as good riddance but even though she hates them and would want nothing to do with them, she couldn’t help feeling bad that one of them would die and the others would be bedridden for some days or even months. She felt someone standing behind her and turned sharply to see Asher. She cleared her throat and turned to walk away but he grabbed her hand and stopped. “Let go,” she said.
