Chapter 753 - Kyle
Chapter 753 - Kyle
Girls were congregating at the entrance, not allowing anyone to really see what was going on. Kay, however, had an inkling but she didn't think it was possible.
Nonetheless, she quickly made her way to the front without a word.
Upon seeing this, Lance and Mark looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and followed behind her - albeit, slightly slower.
As Kay pushed her way in front, she could hear the excited whispers and squeals and her suspicion grew even more. The three 'clowns' who had threatened Kay before, now looked at her in disdain.
"Look at that," Pauline said with a snort, "All excited to see what's going on."
"Yeah," Ethel agreed, "And here we thought, she was such a good girl. She really put on quite a show the entire time she was here."
Erica looked in dismay at how Mark was excitedly following Kay. Still.
"Whatever," she said with a sigh, "No matter what I did, Mark hasn't looked at me at all. His eyes are always on her even when she doesn't do anything,"
Pauline and Ethel looked at Erica in shock. Was this the same Erica that they knew? All this time, they had been bad-mouthing Kay, putting her down … all behind her back, of course … but now, Erica was actually being generous about it?
Erica gave them a rueful smile, "No matter how we put her down, she's proven us wrong, hasn't she? She's obviously not an empty vase, like how we said she was. She graduated - in the accelerated class - with honours. Could any of us do that?"
Pauline and Ethel were suitably quiet.
Erica sighed again, looking at that beautiful woman weaving her way to the front.
Things became clear when she was about to graduate. The future was suddenly in front of her and she felt she had wasted a lot of time being upset over something she could not control.
As much as she hated to admit it, Kay was far above her in terms of beauty and intelligence. Worse, she had this poise and elegance that seemed to be inborn, making everyone else around her pale in comparison.
Small wonder that Mark would be so smitten with her.
Who wouldn't be?!
Still, it was nice to see her acting like a normal girl right now. From what Erica heard, there was this really hot guy that turned up. He wasn't a student and the girls were basically just trying to get information out of him.
This was the area for graduating students, after all, so he wasn't supposed to be here. The girls were not only trying to talk to him, but they were also trying to hook up with him and be the one that helped him to the right area - even though they weren't supposed to leave this waiting hall.
Mark was surprised to see the sudden aggressiveness of his Angel and he looked at Lance.
"Wow, she's really excited, isn't she? We've never seen her this excited before, not even when we surprised her with her favourite dessert that day."
Lance laughed, "Something better than food? This is going to be epic indeed."
When the girls crowding around the entrance saw Kay pushing her way ahead, some were visibly annoyed. All of them wanted to go in front as well, but they weren't as pushy as Kay was.
Kay didn't care what others were thinking, or how others were glaring at her. All she wanted to know, was whether what she thought, was reality. When she finally managed to get to the front, tears were already forming in her eyes.
It really was him.
Without another word, she ran up to him and jumped into his arms.
Much to the dismay of everyone.
Kyle hugged Kay tightly, while she sobbed silently and then, she started hitting him, "Stupid! Why didn't you tell me?!"
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise now, would it?" Kyle answered smoothly, his face in a huge smile that made everyone sigh.
It was understandable.
The College Belle was with a Drop-Dead Gorgeous Guy.
Mark, who managed to get to the front as well after the path was created by Kay, was standing there with his mouth hanging open. Lance laughed softly, then used his hand to shut Mark's mouth.
Mark turned to Lance, his eyes glittering, pushing his hand away, "Lance Lance Lance!! It's him! It's him!! IN THE FLESH!!"
Lance rolled his eyes, "Well, DUH. Of course. Why wouldn't he be here? He's her brother, after all."
Mark happily jumped to the front, waiting eagerly to be introduced. He was fidgeting impatiently, as he kept looking from behind Kay, and trying to peer at Kyle.
Kyle, noticing this, turned towards Mark. His left hand was still on Kay's waist, while he extended his right hand, "You must be Mark. Nice to meet you. I'm Kyle."
Mark took his hand, pumping it up and down, while gushing, "I knoooooww!!"
Kay laughed, leaning on Kyle's shoulder while she wiped her eyes. Lance handed her a handkerchief and she took it gratefully.
"And you are Lance," Kyle said, turning towards Lance while Mark was still giving Kyle the vigorous handshake.
"I'd like to thank you both for taking such good care of my sister," Kyle said with a dazzling smile.
"We're friends," Lance said, "That's what friends do."
"I'll be borrowing Kay for a while," Kyle announced, "She'll be back before you guys go in."
Lance nodded while Mark finally let go of Kyle's hand.
Mark watched wistfully as Kyle went off with Kay, both of them holding hands while she was talking to him excitedly. Damn, he wished he had his 'John Wick 4' DVD right now. To get Kyle's signature would have been so epic.
He sighed, and turned, to notice everyone looking at him strangely.
He didn't care.
He stared at his hand, declaring dramatically, "I'm never going to wash this hand ever again."
Lance rolled his eyes.
