Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 62

Jeffrey’s POV
“Life of a chocoholic” I said to kate.
She was really in my home! And we’re
alone! My stepmom has an appointment
with the doctor. Minutes clicked by and we
were done with writing my notes. I stared
at Katherine as she explained an algebraic
expression to me.

“Do you understand?” She asked
“Huh?” I stunned out of thought
“Y.. You are not listening..” She hit my head
with a pencil.

“Au..Aush!” I rubbed my forehead
She flashed me a concerned look
“Sorry..” She apologized in a low tone
I studied Katherine’s expression.
How can I listen when she’s the one
teaching me!

It was hard to concentrate!
“Don’t worry we’re almost down with the
questions” she said
I nodded

“Jeffrey..can you stop staring..at me like
that..It makes me…nervous” Kate said after
a minute.

I stunned out of reverie again!
Oh! She caught me!
“Oh..Sorry..Kate” I apologized
“I can’t seem to take my eyes off you” I
said loudly

Then I realized I didn’t mean to say it out! I
was supposed to say that to myself!
I took a quick glance at Katherine. She was
all red. I could see the flush on her cheeks.
“Ahmm..I..think..I’ll be right back” I rushed
out of the sitting room.
That was so awkward!

I let out a shaky breath when I got to the
entrance of my bedroom.
What’s wrong with you Jeffrey?! Try to be
a Man!
My heartbeat Faster.
I was so lost of Words! Oh God! I can’t do
this! I can’t confess to Kate!
“All you have to do is build up your self
confidence” My stepmom voice whispered
at the back of my mind.

Yeah! She had given me a Confession
Lecture in the Kitchen Yesternight.
“Make use of the tactics i told you. I’m sure
Katherine won’t hide her feelings” My
stepmom said to me before I stepped out
to bring Katherine in.

I reached for the sheet of paper in my
pocket. I had searched the Internet to learn
more before going bed.

What do you say to a girl you love?
And Heartfelt Approach!
I’d written some points down too.
I’ve taken out time to get to know her as a
close friend before deciding to progress to
something more. Kate and I are close now
and we’ve spent some time together over
the past weeks.

“Consider giving her a small, inexpensive
gift, tell her seriously how you feel and
accept her answer calmly” I recalled my
stepmom words to me.
I haven’t considered he type of gift to give
to Katherine.

“I can do this!” I tried to build up my
courage..
Slowly I walked back to the sitting room.
Kate already packed my books on the table.
And I couldn’t find her books.
Kate was leaving!

“Are you leaving?” I asked
“Yes..My mom just called now” she said
“She’s back home?”
“No but she will be home soon..Probably in
the evening”

“O..okay” I scratched the back of my head
“Yeah..See you on monday” she said
Kate stood up to leave
Do something Boy! She’s leaving!
“Kate..” I called at her
She faced me

“Jeffrey..I’ve always wanted to ask you
something” she said
“Sure..G..ahead” I stuttered
“Did you mean it when you referred to me
as..Your Girl..”

I exchanged glances with her as I scratched
the bridge of my nose.
“I’ve been wondering if you..only said it to
make Joseph stay away from me” she
added

“I meant everything I said that day” I
admitted

“Well..but..you know am not your girl”
She fiddled with her fingers without
looking at me.
This is my chance!
“Do you want to be my girl?” I said boldly
but calmly
Kate gave me a surprised look. She tried to
speak up but it seems her voice failed her.
“There’s always a point in life when you
have a burning desire to be with someone.
Someone you find very attractive and
someone you find very interesting. Its
falling in love. And loving someone can be
exciting and terrifying..” I said

“And its frustrating when the one you love
doesn’t even notice you..Or feel the same”
Kate said in a low tone.
