Chapter 37 Medusa
• Kylie's POV
“ Please eat like a lady.” Cami told me with disgust evident in her eyes, I wonder what her problem is.
Can't she mind her business, always trying to pick out anything I do as a fault.
“ Like this.” I started chewing louder to irritate her which it did, I'm sure my face is messy with ice cream but I don't care.
I wonder how this ice cream taste like toothpaste, maybe the toothpaste he is using taste like it. I should go to his house and steal it, not like I know his house.
“ You are so disgusting,” She cringed in disgust.
I let out a tsk not wanting to say anything to her, just focus my attention on my food, eating slowly not because of Cami just because I don't want to choke and die.
“ Hey Guys,” I heard someone squeal but I did not bother to look at who since I don't know the person, I really need to associate with other people.
“ Ashton is not here, what do you want ?” Ray asked in a chilly tone the person whose voice sounds feminine and familiar, it sounded like that girl, Medusa, I think.
“ No I'm not here to see him, I'm here to see her,” The girl replied “ Hey Kylie.” Hearing my name, I raised my head wondering why the person want to see me.
My face turned to a scowl seeing it is that Medusa girl, I wonder why she want to see me. My heart started pounding when I remember that she was there when she saw me kissed Ashton, is she here to tell them ?
Started thinking of the possible reasons she might be here, maybe she is here to apologize, since I can't figure out why she want to see me, I asked her.
“ What do you want ?”
“ I just want to give you this,” She replied, taking each steps dramatically towards me in a slow motion before I knew it she was in front of me.
In a flash, it happened very quickly. I felt something cold on my face, she splashed her drink on my face. I gasped trying to understand the reason why she did that, is it because of the kiss ?
The girl is crazier than I thought.
“ Oh my God, I'm so sorry. It slipped, here let me help you.” I heard her say and I felt something soft on my face, I struggle to push her hands away as she rubbed my face with her handkerchief. I felt relieved when she got pushed away from me.
“ What the fuck is wrong with you ?” I heard Ashton yelled in anger, I faced down not able to look at his face. Oh God help me, I can't let them see my face without makeup. It seems God answered my silent prayer, I felt a cloth on my face and being drag away by somebody.
I heard the click of the door opening and the sound of it closing then all the sudden, I could see again. I could see the pure light God created trickle down from the small window making everywhere bright.
I could see the four blue cubicle doors with a metal handle on it, the white tiled wall matching with the two wash basin that a large mirror is above it attached to the wall. My sight is still intact, I'm in the school toilet. I could kiss the floor right now.
Yeah I'm overdramatic, deal with it.
I turned to see the person who brought me here ; the person definitely knows who I am, how my face looks like. Because one the person won't cover my face if he does not know what I'm hiding and two he or she won't have drag me away like that.
So I'm definitely sure the person knows my identity.
I gasped lightly before covering my mouth in shock seeing a smirky Eric with his arms folded on his chest.
“ How did you know ?” that was the first thing that came out from my mouth.
“ Here take your bag,” He removed my bag which he hanged around his shoulder then tossed it to me which I caught. “ do your makeup before anyone enter, I will try to stop someone from coming in.” He said.
“ Thank you,” I said still giving him a bewildered look, wondering how he knew who am I. He nodded his head as reply then step out.
I went infront of the mirror to wash my face and clean up. I heaved a sigh when I saw how I look like, my makeup is completely removed but I look like a crazy woman.
My hair was already in mess, scattered allover my face. My glass has a crack on it ; I guess the time she was cleaning my face roughly, it broke.
I removed my glass then place it on the sink, opened my bag bringing out a small purse. I took out my comb, combing my once brown like cinnamon hair which is now black because of dye. I smoothened it then pack it in ponytail style using the black band I saw in my purse.
I washed my face with water, running down from the tap making my face free from ice tea and make up, my face looks fresh and beautiful. Thankfully the stain on my top is not that much, I took my pink napkin, wet it a little bit and used it to clean my uniform, the stain faded a little. I left it like that since it is not prominent any longer.
I removed my shirt folded it well and place it on the sink also near my purse. The door banged on the wall as it opened, Eric quickly enter inside shutting the door behind him.
He pushed me to the wall, “ Just go with it, act like we are kissing or just look at me don't stare anywhere.”
“ Why ?” I couldn't help but ask.
“ You will get your answer very soon.” He replied bluntly.
I rolled my eyes, I opened my mouth to speak but closed it back when I heard Ashton calling my name. The door opened with a loud thud on the wall, I heard it closing back.
“ That's why.” Eric said, “ I wonder why you are not yet through.”
“ I wonder why you can not lock the door or better still tell me to hide in the toilet than doing this.” I rolled my eyes with a little shake of my head before walking towards the mirror to quickly do my makeup and get dressed, I feel bare wearing only white singlet.
He clicked his tongue turning to face the door, realizing that it would have been easier to just do that. He faced back at me with his hands on his neck rubbing it feeling embarrassed. “ I shouldn't have done that, I'm sorry. My mind did not go there,” He poutef, “ hiding in the toilet is a bad idea because he will want to wait for you to come out, so it is a terrible idea. I was just concern not to let your identity be expose, I just did what came to my mind first when I saw him coming, I'm sorry.” He said averting his eyes away from my gaze on him, looking elsewhere.
I let out a smile as I turn to look at him with the foundation in my hands, “ Thank you.” I turned back to the mirror dabbing the foundation on the center of my forehead, under my eyes and on my eyes and chin with a make up brush.
“ By the way,” I begin to say as I turn to look at him bitting my lips, “ how did you know about my identity ?” I asked him dropping my brush in the sink, then fold my arms with left foot tapping on the floor demanding for an answer.
He leaned on the wall, slowly a smirk crept to his face. “ I'm not dumb, so it was very easy to discover the truth. Fine let me be honest it was not that easy if not for the fact that I saw your pictures on Elle's phone...”
“ How ? When ? Why ? Doing what ?... You confronted her and she told you that it was me ?”
He shake his head negativity then say “no”. He laughed lightly then spoke, “ I could not confront her, she did not know her phone was with me and well I did not think it was you, I just thought maybe she knew Kye.”
“ So how do you later figure out it was me ?”
He placed his hands on his chin rubbing it, “ How did I know it was you ? Ah! I knew on the day of your Valentine's concert.” I narrowed my eyes at him urging him to continue, to satisfy the curiosity of how he knew.
He continued, “ When I saw my beautiful damsel in black ripped jeans and a red short sleeve crop top then she put on a black denim snickers which compliment her black cap. She looked amazing that day,” He sighed dreamingly with his elbow placed on the wash basin, his cheek resting on his palm, he zoned out with a smile on his face.
I rolled my eyes then snap my fingers infront of me to get him out of his daze. He raised an eyebrow looking up at me.
My mouth twitched as I speak, “ You are supposed to tell me how figured out I'm Kye not tell me how Elle looked like, I know you miss her, I'm sure she misses you too. And if you guys are meant to be, trust me you will be together.” I told him.
“ We are meant to be,” He said with confident in his tone, “ and even if we are not, I will make sure we are after all we can influence our destiny, choose what our destiny will be like. We have that power in our hands.”
I smiled at what he said, I know he misses her, I wish I could give her number to him but I made a promise to Elle not to. I can not afford to break it, I hope fate plays it's role favourably.
“ Anyways, you have not tell me how you knew.”
He chuckled, “ Well as I was saying, when I saw Elle carrying a bag, my gentleman switch became on, so I offered to carry she declined but being the stubborn man I am,” I snorted when he said man, a man indeed. “ I am a man.” He stomped his foot on the ground defensively.
Childish, and he called himself a man.
I laughed lightly, “ Yes you are, just continue.”
He let out a huff then continue, “ So I took it from her and it was difficult for her to take it back from me, she left it. Out of curiosity I wonder what could be inside the bag that it was light and it appear heavy, why would she bring a big bag to a concert, do I opened and I found the same dress you wore that day and the shoe in the bag,” He chuckled as he lean on the wall.
“ Is that how you knew ?”
He smiled, “ Well if I did not see you when you came down from the stage in an hurry and on the way you collected the bag from her, it won't have occur to me that you are Kye,” He let out a chuckle then continue, “ I would have never thought you are her, it started clicking to me that I saw pictures of Kye and my son in Elle's phone and I never for once see your picture as Kylie, the one every one knows you as in her phone.
Then I realized Kye knew about my child also Kylie, she must be really close friends with the both of you whereas you guys are one, the same person...” He laughed, shaking his head.
... Who would have thought, Kye is going to our school and no one knows, that's really a good idea. You are smart. ” He told me with a pat on my shoulder, I fling his hand away and rolled my eyes at him.
“ The picture, the dress, Elle giving Kye the bag and Kylie wearing the same dress that was in that bag then it all clicked that Kye is Kylie and Kylie is Kye... I was not really sure at that moment, you know ?” He chuckled lightly, “ But when I asked Elle that if Kylie is Kye, what will you do, she answered and Elle does not overreact when answering a question, she keep shut or just answer. She only overreact when she is hiding something and she won't deny it or give the actual answer. ” He stated with a grin on his face.
“ So that is how you knew,” I murmured and a sigh escape room my mouth, “ Why ? Why didn't you confront me about it ? Rather you kept shut and behave like you did not know, why ?”
He shrugged, “ Because I don't feel like,” I rolled my eyes at his response, he just laughed.
“ I wanted to watch how the drama will enfold, it was fun watching you try hide your identity from me, and you do not have an idea that I know who you are and maybe because everyone has a secret to hide and they have their reasons. I'm sure you have your own reasons for hiding who you are, I can not blame you. I did not confront you about it because I don't want to destroy your hope of not letting your identity leak.” He said.
“ Are you trying to tell me I'm doing a bad job hiding who am I ?” I asked with my eyebrows raised then a scoff followed.
“ No, no, no,” He chanted as he shake his head, “ Serious you are really good at keeping your identity a secret just like some people,” He mumbled that part silently, I wanted to who he was referring to some people but I shrug it away not wanting to know.
He continued, “ I wouldn't have known if Elle did not, how did Elle know ?”
I giggled remembering that day, “ The day I had my very first food fight in school that is when she knew and when I knew she had a child and you are the father of her baby.”
“ So wait you two knew yourself here in school, she became friends with you that quick. It was really hard to become friends with her and it was easy for you,” He scoffed in disbelief, trying to find it very hard to believe we knew ourselves that day and became friends.
“ Because I'm adorable,” I told him as I flip my hair, he rolled his eyes at me, “ No, it is because you bewitched us.” He said.
I giggled at what he said, “ I don't need magic to make you guys fall in love with me, I'm love...able, and you know that is true.”
He snorted.
Then I remembered why I was brought here, to clean up. What happened at the cafeteria, how she poured her ice tea on my face, how she forcefully used her napkin on me like she want to wipe all my face away.
My eyes widened at what just came to my mind, is it possible she knew also ?
“ What's wrong ?” Eric asked noticing my facial expressions, how my forehead creased in confusion.
“ Do you think Melissa knows I'm Kye ?”
“ No I don't think so, but I think she knows your face is caked with makeup, I don't know how she knew. She thinks you are ugly and she want to expose you and if she knew about you being Kye, trust me she is going to help you a lot hiding your face, maybe volunteer to do your makeup.”
“ A fan ?”
“ I don't know, but all I know is that with this pretty face of yours prettier than Kylie will increase the chance of Ashton falling in love with you, that is what she will think so she will do every means to help you and maybe blackmail you but trust me she is not going to do that, she is at risk here. The school's attention will not be on her again but on you.” He said.
I let out a tsk, “ That is why I hid my face to avoid that, unnecessary attention.” I chuckled. “ But wait, Ashton does not like me, and who is Melissa to Ashton ?”
“ His betrothed, and Ashton likes you very much. I'm very grateful he did not come up to punch my teeth when he came inside. He is just finding it very hard to accept he does, since you are the very first he ever felt genuine feelings for.”
Ashton likes me, no that can't be true, he just assuming that. Did he just say...
“ Ashton is betrothed to Melissa ?”
He nods his head as response, Oh.My.God
“ I feel so terrible, she was not lying. I kissed Ashton, someone's fiance.” I covered my mouth trying hard not to feel disappointed at myself, I can't believe I did that and the kiss was so amazing.
I kissed someone's future husband, I'm a home wrecker.
“ So Dexton was not assuming when you two kissed, he really saw you two kiss,” I nodded my head, he gasped, “ I'm dead, you should have told me, now Ashton is going to hate me forever. You guys kissed that means you have taken it to the next level, he is going to kill me.”
“ What are you blabbing about ?”
“ Well you see...you know he met us in a compromising way thinking we were kissing, anyone will think like that if they meet us that way. I kinda of did it intentionally to make him jealous so he can realize he likes you. When he saw Melissa cheated on him during the time he thinks he likes her, when he saw her with the dude, he did not feel hurt or anything just disgusted they could not see a better place to do it then he realized he does not have romantic feelings for her, so I did this to make him realize his true feelings towards you.”
I opened my mouth to speak then close it back not knowing what to say, just looking at him in disbelief. I can not believe he did such things, now Ashton is going to think bad of me. Way to go, Eric.
“ I'm sorry, I'm going to talk to him.” He muttered lowly looking elsewhere.
I rolled my eyes then a smile appear to my face, “ So Ashton broke up with her ?”
He laughed, “ Yeah something like, he opt out of the betrothal stuff. But his parents are still forcing him so he decided to leave his father to do anything he likes but he said he is going to marry the woman he loves on the day of wedding and stick his tongue at his father then tell him he lost. He is such a freak.”
I laughed, the woman he loves ehn ? I wonder who will that be.
I heave a sigh, “ Do you think I should tell our friends about my true identity ?” I asked him.
“ Absolutely not,” He shouted, I flinch at the sound of his voice, “ I'm sorry. No don't tell them, it is unfair I get to figure out by myself and they were told, it is not fair. Let them know by themselves and don't make it so obvious for them.” He said I'm a warning tone, pointing his finger at me.
“ But people do say that it hurts more when your secret is being figure out by the people you love, but it is less when you tell them.” I pouted, he snorted.
“ That's bullshit, it's true though but it is not applicable to your case. Trust me they will understand why you hid your identity and besides you showing face to our friends might risk your identity bring expose to the school one way to another also caused conflict between two brothers.” He said and my body got tensed.
What does he mean by two brothers ?
“ Two brothers ?”
“ Yeah, Ashton and Kelly.”
“ They are brothers ?” I asked in surprise, I definitely did not see that coming. “ But their surnames is different.”
“ Well I'm not the one to explain how they are brothers, not my secret to tell but please if you want to try to ask them don't let them know you knew or I told you anything about them. Do your makeup fast before anybody enter, I don't want to miss my next class.”
“ Oh okay,” I turned to face mirror picking up the brush, still surprise at what I heard.
Ashton and Kelly brothers.
Who would have ever thought of that ?
Definitely not me.Download Novelah App
