“Why are you yelling?”

A month has gone by and the preparation and rehearsal for the School concert was moving smoothly and fast.

The school council were all surprised with what they were seeing..The concert will be in 1months time and they wanted everything to be perfect.

The rehearsals for the school concert didn't interfer with the lectures of the students..inasmuch as they were rehearsing,they were also getting good grades.

Few failed,but because they were part of rehearsal in one way or the other,they were given the grace to do a retest....

≠≠≠THE CAFÉ≠≠≠

The music in the Cafe was calm and mind soothing.They were chatters,murmurs and laughters in the Cafeteria.

Due to the upcoming school concert the Cafe was getting busier day by day..Students rush in after the rehearsals to get chilled drinks and soothing meals

"Seems like your pockets is getting full day by day"Ken teased the Bartender...

She smiled at him"You just don't seem to order and go,you always have something to say"

He grunted.."Well,what can I say?..I just can't seem to....."

"Dont even say it"She interrupted him.

Just as he was about to say something Anna walked in

The bartender noticed his gaze was on her..

Anna was dressed in a lotus green turtle neck and she wore a short skirt..Anna is always on jeans,So it was surprising to see her legs exposed..she had her hair down which is something she doesn't do often..

"DAMN"!Ken snorted

"Seems like you got your eyes on that one..but Anna isn't your type"The bartender voice broke Ken's gaze from Anna

He was surprised that she knew Anna's name:

"Wait,you know her?"

"Who doesn't know Anna?"She smiled at him..She placed the napkin on her hand on the table and flicked her finger to him for him to get closer.

"You want to know a secret?"

His eyes were wide with curiosity"Yeah"

"Anna is Christy's roommate,and Christy is my sister"She smiled at him

He was beyond shocked..He stared at her surprised.The expression on his face was unreadable.

He was quite for a while before he yelled:

"WHAT?"

She knew he'd be surprised,she doesn't disclose her blood relationship with Christy with anyone,but she noticed Ken was a free guy and she wanted him to stop pestering her,So she decided to tell him that her junior sister was Christy..maybe that way he'd end his crush on her

"Why are you yelling?"Anna walked up to him.

Lately him and Anna have been close during the past month.

He has been helping on how to gain more views and followers on social media..and they seem to have gotten comfortable with each other,they were more like buddies.

"Hi Susan"Anna greeted Christy's elder sister

Ken was dumbstruck..he looked at Anna then back at Susan.

"You guy know each other for real?"His head was spinning

"Yes,she's Christy's elder sister"She placed her finger on her lips and shushed him

"Don't let anyone know,We don't disclose it..well Christy doesn't want us to disclose it"She placed an order for a snack and a drink.

"Well Susy, we'd leave you to continue with your work"She pulled Ken away and they went to a table to sit down

She noticed his confused look:

"I Know it's shocking,just deal with it"She took a bite out of her snack and sipped her drink.

He noticed her ketchup smeared on her lips.He felt the urge to remove it but he didn't know how to clean it off

"So I actually did this video"She pulled out her phone and showed the video to him.."But it will require a duet,so I was thinking....."

Her words turned to mere whispers..His attention wasn't on what she was saying,it was on her lips.

He was failing to concentrate on what she was telling him,he gave the ketchup smear on her lips a blank stare.

Then without hesitation he moved closer,and he brushed his fingertips on her lips.

He did it in a seductive way...in the movies,after this comes a kiss but he didn't want to cross the line,he licked his finger in which the ketchup was and smiled at her

"You had ketchup on your lips"He smiled brightly, trying as hard as he can to hide the fact that he was nervous.

Anna"....."

Her words hung on her throat,she didn't know what to do or say next.

"What just happened?"

"Why did he do that?"

"Why am I feeling nervous?"

"What is this strange feeling?"

Different thoughts just kept running through her mind..she didn't know the next step to take.

And just at that moment Christy walked in..she walked over to her sister first,placed her order and walked to their table

"Whatsup"She stared at both of them..she noticed something was wrong,the air here wasn't right

"Did something happen?"She sounded concerned,she touched Anna's hand"You good?"

"I'm just so glad to see you"Anna said happily...Never have she been happy to see Christy,Christy walked in just at the right time.

"We saw each other 2hours ago"Christy gave her a wary look.

She didn't want to have a debate with Anna,so she quickly diverted her attention to Ken

"Ken have you seen Trip?,He was meant to show up for the rehearsal today,but he didn't"She had a worried look on her face.

Ken exhaled sharply..

"Thank God Christy walked in, because I didn't know what to do next"He thought..

"Well,Trip wasn't in the best of mood today"He toyed with his phone,"Maybe he went to his favorite spot"He added

"His favorite spot?"She gave him a blank look.

"Yes,Trip has a favorite spot in this college,well it's a quiet place he goes to clear his head whenever he's in a bad mood"He added

Anna chuckled"Well, I'd love to have a favorite spot"She teased.

"Is everything okay with him?"She asked worriedly

"I don't know man,I don't know"he dropped his phone

"Look,when Trip starts getting this weird moody temperament,I just tend to give him his space.. because anything I say or do at that moment will push him off the edge and he would get angry..So I just give him his personal space"He added.

He didn't know why Trip got moody this morning,but if his thoughts were right and Trip was moody because of what he think it is...then it's better he doesn't even meet with Trip at all today

Christy took a bite out of a meal sipped her drink then paused for a while before she said something

"Do you know where his favorite spot his?"

"Why do you want to know?,Like Ken said he's in a bad mood"Anna spoke up

She sipped her drink before she spoke again"I think the best thing for you to do is to give him his space"She added with a frigid look.

"Anna is right,just give him space"Ken supported her

Christy scoffed:

"I just want to see him,like check up on him to see if he's okay..is that too much to ask?"

"Nope,but you are talking like he is your boyfriend..and he's not"Anna replied her angrily.

"He is my partner in the drama group Anna,the least I could do for him is check up on him to see if he's okay"Christy rebuffed her

Ken didn't like the looks of it...he knew Anna hasn't gotten quite comfortable with Trip, that's why she's sounding this way.

But he didn't want them to have a petty argument because of Anna's mere dislike on Trip

"Its okay you two"He spoke up..."If Christy want to go see him,I see nothing wrong with it"He glared at Anna.

A notification sound came out of Christy's phone.

"That's the spot where I think he'd be at,but if he's not there just go back home"He smiled at her.

"Thank you"She smiled at him and left.

Anna gave him an angry stare:

"Why did you do that?"

"Why did I do what?"He acted as though he didn't know what she was talking about.

"Why did you give her the address of where Trip was?"

"I see no reason why that should be a problem"He eyed her

"Why do you even dislike Trip anyway?"

"I don't dislike Trip... there's something about him that makes me uncomfortable"She said aggravated

"Which is"he gave a wary look

"I don't know man, there's just something that pisses me off whenever I see him and I don't know why"She rolled her eyes..

"You know what?,See you tomorrow...I'm going back to my dorm"She picked up the remains of her and Christy's snack and left

"Anna!"He called out to her.

But the only response he got was the bell chimes as she walked out of the Cafe angrily.
