( Can I be your friend?)
Chapter 53
Jayson's pov;
Damn!!
It was really her - Skyler
What is she doing here?
I didn't take my eyes off her. She looked gorgeous and beautiful
What will her reaction be if she sees me?
Was i just going to keep standing here all day staring at her?
I was still staring at her when she turned. I quickly held behind the tree so she wouldn't see me
She walked to the left side and that was when I saw there was a chair there
Wait; does she comes here often?
The place was so neat and tidy; and how come there was a bench?
She walked to it and sat down then picked up her guitar from it
I guess she really does come here often - more like, she owns it.
What am I even saying? She owns the school
Then I guess, this place is secluded, and shes the only one that gets to come here, just like the skyhouse we have in school
Now I get it
She played the guitar so well,but didn't sing.
I anticipated for her to but she didn't. She just played on and on
" For how long are you going to keep stalking me?" she asked out of the blues
What the heck...?
So she knew I was here all along?
Geez!! This girl is really something
I walked out sluggishly from behind the tree and went to stand at her front
She stopped played and looked at me
" What are you doing here?" she asked getting up
"I...I...just...I didn't know when I got here" I stuttered, her expression right now was really scary
I don't think I have ever seen her laugh or smile?
She folded her arms and looked at me.
" Get out" she said and sat down again
What the hell...??
She's...
" Wait...what?" I asked her
She glared at me and I retreated. She looks angry
" I won't repeat myself" she told me coldly
" I never meant to come here. I was just walking...and then...then I found myself here" I tried to explain but she didn't even bother to pay attention to what I was saying
She was busy with her phone
There is no way I'm leaving there! Not after have longed to see her and now she was here
" Are you listening?" I asked her dumbly. She paused and looked up
" I said get out" she repeated angrily and I flinched
" Why do you always go to places you're not supposed to be?" she asked me
" I dunno. I guess that's just what you think" I told her and she scoffed
She stood up again, picked up her guitar and leather jacket with her notepad and pen
She hung the guitar round her neck, stared at me before she started walking out.
Wait; was she walking out on me?
" Where are you going?" I asked her
" Since you don't wanna leave, then I guess I should" she turned to me and said
" No...no...I never said I won't leave...it's just that...I have been meaning to talk to you for a long time now" I tried to explain myself to her. She battled her eyelashes at me
" I have so many questions to ask" I told her
She didn't reply.
" Please just don't go" I pleaded
" Please"
She sighed and went to sit.
I was glad she did.
" You have five minutes" she said. She checked her phone for the time
I heaved deeply, not knowing where to start from. I needed to start from somewhere.
One minute was already gone
" I...I don't know what to say but all I ask of you is that you don't walk away" I said
" Thanks" I said
" Thanks for the scholarship and thanks for everything."
" Is that what you were gonna say. Ifthat's it, you don't have to worry about it. I did what I had to do and you did yours too" she said and stood up
" I gotta go. Looks like you're done" she said and took few steps.
I turned quickly and swiftly held her hand, making her to turn also.
She looked at me and then at her hand
I quickly let go of it.
" I'm nor... done" I said
" You really are something" she said
" Why should I even listen to you? I have better things to do" she said and wanted to walk out again but I quickly ran to stand In front of her. She halted and couldn't walk further as I was blocking her path
She looks so irritated and angry
" Do you know me?" she asked arching her brows at me. I nodded positively
" Bo; I don't think you do. If you do, you won't be doing all this. You're messing with me you know" she exasperated
" I know, but please just hear me out" I begged
" Get out" she said and pushed me aside.
Is she this cold and strong-headed?
"Please...just wait" I shouted and ran after her
" Don't you dare" she yelled. Her eyes was blazing with anger
She walked out on me again. I stood as I watched her walk away
She got to the tree and halted.
She turned and saw I hadn't moved an inch
She scoffed and was about walking away again, when I spoke
" Can...can I be your friend?" I shouted so she could hear, she did and stopped walking
I saw her stop and started walking towards her

Aaron's pov;
Myra looked so restless back there in class. We all were worried but hers was excess, or was it because they were best friends
I just couldn't understand it?
We walked to the hall for Mentorship.
Jayson loves it so it's weird he has actually skipped it
What was he doing? It must be damn important?
We sat together. Yvonne and Sammie came quite early so we started on time
I watched Myra zoned out the whole session. She wasnt herself
She clung unto Jayson's bag like her life depended on it
Even when it got to her turn to sing, she didnt sing well. She almost broke down but had to quickly cover it up with a smile
What's really going on with her?
My instincts told me it was more than Jayson leaving the class for no reason and not telling us about it
There was something. I felt It, and my instincts were never wrong
She finished singing and ran back to her seat
It was almost over, just a few people were left. After this, there'll be few announcements and then we've closed for the day
I was already tired and wanted to just go home
The last person performed before Yvonne walked back to the stage
" Goodday SKYLERS" she shouted into the mic
The crowd cheered in response to her
" Alright. This brings us to the end of today's Mentorship. It has been an amazing week, and I look forward to seeing you all next week"
" As you all know;we are going to be having a competition with Beverly HIGH this term, and I'm glad to announce to you all that the rehearsals will officially start next week" she informed and the everyone applauded while cheering and screaming out in excitement
" Everyone is expected to know where they stand and where they should perform. We are gonna be having two sections - the dance and the music. The dance will come first and music later, but the major emphasis is on the music we are gonna be providing. This school is known for music and it's what we are gonna be focusing on"
" Everyone of you should endeavour to take this to heart and act accordingly. We are the best and we are not gonna let anyone take that crown away from us. They had threatened to beat us this year. Are we gonna allow them? Are we gonna sit down and watch them take our crown away? It's all up to you guys. Let's do what we know how to do best and come out.... Victorious.... THANKS'' she ended.
The students stood up and cheered happily. There were screams and shouts from every corner
Typical celebrity school
I don't expect anything less than that from music stars
Jayson's Pov;
She really did stop.
I hope she doesn't gets angry with me?
" What did you just say?" she asked still backing me
" Can I be your friend?" I asked again
She was backing me but I could tell her expression. She was dumbfounded
She shook her head as she looked up at the tree
" You've got guts, you know" she said as she turned. I smiled and went closer
" I'm glad you've realise that" I said
" Don't come closer" she commanded and I immediately stopped walking
" Look" she said and sighed. She took her fingers into her hair and brush it with them
"I don't really know who you are or what you want; but I want you to know I'm not cut out for this bullshit. Yeah!! I don't care what you do - just stay out of my way, `` she said, more like a warning. The look in her eyes were scary
She gave me one last look before walking away again
I was taken aback as I stood rooted to the stop, not being able to move
