The Gathering

"I will come back just a minute," Derek said and turned around.

"Father Adam," he heard a voice.

"Taaliyah," Derek smiled. Taaliyah returned back to say something important to the principal but ran into Derek.

"Taaliyah," another man called her name.

"Taaliyah, come fast, it's not the right ti...." Ester rushed in to the campus warning Taaliyah loudly and stopped when she reached the crow. "Hello," she greeted everyone instead, feeling embarrassed. Derek, Taaliyah, and Father Adam turned towards the guy who called Taaliyah and he walked towards them from the office.

"You," Taaliyah said. 

"You," Derek said at the same time too.

"Yes yes Irfan come," Father Adam called him.

Taaliyah, Irfan, Ester, and Derek stood staring at each other and making it awkward for everyone.

"Do you guys know each other? Derek and Ester? And Irfan?" Father Adam asked.

"Yes," Derek said looking at Irfan who had a smirk on his face.
