High School: Way to Forever

Chapter 54: Your Boyfriend.



"What happened, mom?" Anna went towards her mother

"Why these bodyguards are standing here? Are they of Liam?" Mother Marrie asked.

""Hmm. These bodyguards are send by him."

"But why?" she asked.

"Mom, leave it to me. I will handle this. Don't worry." She tried her best to comfort her mother. She didn't want her mother to worry about these things.

"Are you sure Anna?"

"Yes."

"Okay, go change your cloths. Dinner is ready."

She went upstairs and changed into her night wear. When Anna got downstairs, she saw her mother mumbling a song.

"Mom, why you love singing?" Mother Marrie was serving rice but her hand stopped in the air hearing this question.

"Someone used to love this." was all that she said.

Anna understood this. Her father was the one she was talking about.

...

Next morning

Anna got up. It was again the time to go back to the school. 'Why are weekends so small?' she thought.

She changed into normal t-shirt and jean.

After having breakfast with her mother, she went to her school.

As usual, Alena was super happy because today, there was no physics class.

"Alena, come with me outside." Maths teacher said. She excused herself from Alena and went with him to his staff room.

There, she saw Alex also standing, waiting for Sir.

"You both, get ready. Competition is day after tomorrow. We are leaving tomorrow morning."

Both Anna and Alex were confused. Wasn't the quiz going to be held in their city only?

"Where are we going, sir?" asked Alex.

"Nearby city. There, two more schools will join us. Practice as much as you both can today. You both can skip other classes now. Go to library and take these books also." he said.

They both nodded.

Till the time they reached Library, Anna was sad.

"Why the quiz is day after tomorrow? I'm not at all ready for it." Anna made a pout while saying this. She really wanted to delay this quiz.

Alex sighed seeing her like this. "You once told me that you wanted to see sunset on mountains."

"Yes!" At first Anna didn't understood why he bought this, but later she realized it. "Nearby city is close to mountains, right?" She asked hesitantly.

"Yes it is. We are going tomorrow. So we will reach in afternoon. Day after tomorrow is our quiz, it will be over till afternoon. If we win it, we both will to mountains okay?" he asked.

It was really a good chance for him to spend some more time with her and to make her feel more about him. Till now, he was still unsure how she felt about him. He wanted her to be more open to him and this was best opportunity for this.

"Then, We have to WIN!!!!" Anna excitedly said.

"Yes we will. But only if we both study."

"Yeah. Lets start from Trigonometry....."

They missed all classes and even their lunch.

Around 3 p.m. Anna complained, "Alex, You are a very bad teacher. Your student is hungry now!"

"Okay, this is the last sum. After this we will go to nearby restaurant."

"You are saying this from last half and hour." Anna glared at him saying this.

Anna closed the books and stood up. She stretched her hands up. "Lets go Now!" Without waiting for his reply, she got out of the library.

"Anna, Wait for me." Alex shouted but she didn't stop. She knew that if she stopped, he would drag her back to library.

They both came out of the school. "Alex, will you come with me somewhere? I promise you that you will like their food." Anna said.

"Take me wherever you want." I will always follow you, this was what he wanted to say but he let second half of sentence stay in his mouth and mind only.

Anna and Alex walked for 10 minutes and reached an area where street food was sold.

She brought him to a small restaurant. "Hello grandma." Anna greeted an old lady.

"Oh My my, Anna! After so long you are here." Old lady hugged Anna and Anna too returned her hug.

"My An, You also brought your boyfriend? Good. Come boy." Old lady went to Alex.

Hearing this, Alex was smiling. He also not corrected the old lady. But Anna felt a little awkward. "Umm.. Grandma, He is n-..."

"Oh leave it. I know you youngsters are shy. Come sit. What would you both like to eat?"

"Alex, can I order for you?" Anna whispered to Alex, to which he nodded.

"Grandma, we will like two bowls of noodles."

"Okay. Coming up in 5 minutes."

After the lady left, Alex turned towards Anna.

"Care to explain who this lady was?"
