Chapter 60 New Principal (2/2)

Kay blushed, looking down then turned her head away to look at the field. In her mind though, she was cringing at the cheesy pick-up line. Still, it meant that her efforts of constantly being within his sights every day were working. She even deliberately did the same thing each day so that he would know her 'routine'. Sure enough, she soon did not need to 'accidentally' pass by just as he walked out of Blossom Wing or when he was heading to the cafeteria.

”Sorry, you should be going now. My brother will be out soon,” Kay said apologetically.

”Why should I go if he does?” Jason asked with a frown. Though he did plan to leave before Kyle came out, he didn't like it when Kay actually told him to go.

He watched with interest as she bit her bottom lip, then she leaned forward to explain to him, ”My brother can be a bit over-protective. So ... erm, well.”

Jason gave a displeased expression, and then sighed, ”But he can't stop you from making friends, can he?”

Kay looked troubled then said, ”Look, how about this. I have another study session at the library in two days time. Why don't we meet then?”

”Two days, huh?” Jason said, thinking about his schedule, ”Sure. It's a date.”

”It's not a date!” Kay hissed, her voice low, her cheeks red.

Jason just smiled then asked for her phone. Puzzled, she gave it to him and he called his phone and gave it back to her. ”There. It would make planning things easier,” he explained. Kay saved his number and Jason gave her a huge smile before he jogged back down the stands.

That night, back at the dorms, Sarah was brushing her hair and thinking, ”Kay, is Jason the one you have a crush on?”

”We-ll ... I don't know if it's a crush, but I do want to get to know him more. Doesn't he seem nice?”

”I don't know,” Sarah admitted. ”It's too soon to tell. But he doesn't seem to like Kyle ...”

”Who would, if that stubborn fool is blocking the path to getting to know me?” queried Kay.

”I know, I know,” Sarah commented, agreeing. Yet, as she continued to brush her hair, she couldn't help but think: if you wanted to get the sister, why are you avoiding the brother? And a twin, no less. A caring, dependable and handsome twin who practically broke down when his sister ignored him. Such a sweet, sensitive yet strong man. Sarah didn't realise the smile she had on her face when she started thinking about Kyle.

The next day, there was an unexpected announcement. It was during the second period when the bell chimes sounded, indicating a public announcement was to be made. All the teachers stopped their lessons and everyone quietened down as they waited for it to be made.

”Good morning everyone, this is Acting Principal Hannah speaking. I am pleased to announce that our new Principal, Mr. Godric Gryffindor, will officially start tomorrow. There will not be any lessons in the first period as there will be a special morning assembly at that time to welcome Principal Godric. Thank you.”

Kyle leaned back in his chair with interest.

[Will get MIB to do a background check on new Principal] Kay sent to Kyle

[Great. I'll need to report by tonight.]

Kay groaned. MIB could do the basic groundwork check at in that time, but it would be on her to get the dirt, [Short notice much?]

Kyle just laughed [As always].
