Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 48

☆☆
Katherine’s POV
It was on monday morning. I alighted from
the taxi and headed to EHS main gate. And
there I met Emeka talking to the guards. I
tried to dodge so he won’t see me, I didn’t
want to stop and talk to the guards.
Emeka caught me before I could move
along with the Junior Students.
“Hey Kate!” I heard him calling my name.
I was kinda feeling guilty. I’d promised to
call Emeka during break just to check up on
him. I planned to use my mom’s phone but
dad surprised me by giving me back my
phone. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t tell
Emeka, my dad seized my phone. And
seriously, I totally forgot my promise to
him. My mind was so occupied with only
one person..Jeffrey Adams!

He called me on saturday night to say
goodnight and a Happy Sunday Text. But
he didn’t pick up his call when I tried his
number around 12:00pm when I came
back from church. Even till now, his line
was switched off.

“How are you?” Emeka asked
“Hi Emeka!” I greeted with an unsual tone.
I was hoping that Emeka won’t ask me the
reason why I didn’t call him.

Gosh! I don’t even remember where I
dropped the piece of paper he wrote his
number on before giving it to me.
“How are you doing?” He asked again
“I’m fine..Thanks” I answered
“I hope you enjoyed your break?”
“My break was perfect!” I exclaimed
Oh!Oh!No! What’s wrong with me?!
“Really? So what made your break
perfect?” He asked

“Ahmm..nothing much i went to the mall
to buy some books. And I read them”
“Oh! Why didn’t you call me to let me know
you wanted to visit the mall?” Emeka said
in a sad tone
“I would be more than glad to tag along”
he added

“I didn’t stay for too long..” I replied
“It doesn’t matter..and that reminds me
why didn’t you give me a call?”
I didn’t respond

“Urgh Kate..I was really expecting your
call.. Badly” he gave me a childish look
“Forgive me Emeka…I misplaced the paper
you gave me” I replied without looking at
him

“Then..It was my fault. I should have
written it..Here” He pushed at my
forehead. A huge smile on his face.
And I smiled back at him.

“Give me another one so I can save it” I
said

“Where is your phone?”
“I left it at home” I replied
I saw no reason to bring it to school.
“I’ll give you when we close so you won’t
misplace it” he said

The Bell Rang! Assembly Time!
And Emeka and I rushed to class to drop
our backpacks.

********
Katherine’s POV
It was Lunch Time and Jeffrey didn’t show
up at school today. I was so worried about
him.

Why didn’t he come to school today?
Is he sick?

Different thoughts flooded my mind.
I was distracted. I couldn’t concentrate in
class as I kept glancing at the door to see if
Jeffrey would walk in.

It was surprising that I was already too
drawn to Jeffrey Adams in few days!
I couldn’t work on my plans to talk to
Joseph about Emeka, just to settle the
dispute between them.

During free period, Elena asked me if
Emeka explained anything to me and I said
yes. Joseph had refused to tell Elena the
reason he punched Emeka. A Junior Student
came to call Elena when I was about
Writing on our gist pad..and I promised to
tell her everything when she returns…But I
haven’t seen her. Elena was busy helping
Mr Daniel to mark his Night School Scripts.
Is it right for me to tell Elena?

I wondered how she would feel if she finds
out Joseph punched Emeka because of me.
