One More Night

Nicole felt nervous and scared when someone followed her. She quickly ran to the dorm, and she turned around for a moment while looking behind her when she suddenly collided with something while running.

She was shocked by who she bumped into.

“Jake ???!”

She assured me while still catching her breath.

“Oh, why are you running?” Jake asked worriedly.

She couldn’t answer yet, what she just did was she quickly hugged Jake.

Jake was surprised by Nicole’s sudden hug that seemed nervous and terrified.

“Why? Is there any problem?” Jake asked again as Nicole hugged him.

Nicole let go of the hug before saying, “Someone was following me earlier in the field.”

“What? Where?” Jake asked and he would have walked away, but Nicole held him by the arm.

“Don’t Jake, let’s just go inside.” Said Nicole.

“But maybe that’s the culprit, about the missing students, he needs to be caught.” Said Jake.

“Don’t Jake, you might just get hurt.” Nicole stopped him and he feels Nicole still nervous because her hands are very cold.

He sighed, “Okay go ahead, let’s go inside.”

Then Jake and Nicole entered together while Nicole was still holding his arm, until they could enter Jake’s room.

But they did not know that someone had seen them enter the room together. The student hid on the side of the wall when he saw Jake and Nicole walking into Jake’s room, he secretly photographs them.

The next day Nicole woke up to the sound of her cell phone, it was called from Jane, she answered it immediately even though her eyes were still closed.

“Oh, why did you call? It’s too early in the morning.” she asked sleepily.

“Wake up, you’re definitely shocked by the news.” Said Jane.

Nicole scratched her head, “Why, what is that news?”

“Nothing, just about you and Jake!”

Nicole suddenly opened her eyes and sat on the bed.

“What did you say? About us?” Nicole’s eyes widened at what she heard.

“Yes, someone posted a picture of you and him now spread on various fb accounts, open your fb so you can see it.” Said Jane.

“What?! What picture?” Nicole asked.

“The first picture that came out was that you both turned your backs, going into Jake’s room.” Said Nicole.

“How did they know it was me, if we turned our backs?” Nicole asked.

“Haist, someone commented on the post, a picture of you two hugging and a picture of you holding hands entering the dorm. The whole campus is gossiping about you now that something has happened to the both of you!” disgusted Jane said.

Upon hearing what Jane said, Nicole seemed stunned not knowing what to say.

“W-what?!”

At the same time he saw Jake come out of the bathroom from a fresh bath and he was just wearing a towel around his waist.

“Aaaaahhhh.” Nicole cried when she saw Jake.

Jake was surprised by Nicole’s reaction.

“You are so O. A., do you really have to shout every time I go out of the bathroom?” Jake asked annoyed.

“Ah, s-sorry I was just shocked.”

“Tsssk! Early in the morning you are shouting!” Then Jake got a dress in the closet to get dressed.

“Hey, Nicole are you still there? What is that, why are you shouting?” Jane worried.

“W-nothing, I was just surprised.” One hand on his head.

“Wait, how is that, maybe some students are watching us outside?” Nicole asked.

“That’s why, I called you early, so you can get out of there now, while the students are still asleep and you will definitely be confused when they see you coming out of Jake’s room.” Said Jane.

“Ha, am I coming out? But, I haven’t taken a bath yet.” Confused Nicole said.

Jake heard what Nicole said to the person she was talking to on the phone and he just smiled.

“So ask Jake for help on how to solve your problem.” Said Jane.

“Ah okay, while he’s still here I ask him.”

“Okay, good luck!” Jane said goodbye.

When the phone ended the call, she immediately approached Jake and blocked his way. Jake was surprised by her reaction, which suddenly blocked his way.

“Oh why are you blocking my way?” he frowned.

“Jake, don’t leave first, we have a problem.” Said Nicole.

“Problem, what problem?” Jake asked.

“Jane said, someone saw us last night when we entered the dorm together, they took a picture of us and posted it on the internet. They are talking about us now.” Said Nicole.

Meanwhile, Jake did not react and was not shocked by what Nicole said and took off his shoes and wore them.

“Oh, don’t you have anything to say or do?” disgusted Nicole asked.

“What do you want me to say? Isn’t Tim already teasing you for me to be my girlfriend? So, what now if do they think you are my girlfriend?” Jake asked.

Nicole was even more bored.

“It’s different! Don’t you know what can happen to me? I’m sure a lot of people bullied me, when I came out of that door! What will my parents tell me?! Please help me solve this!” disgusted Nicole said.

Jake took a deep breath.

“You have no other choice; they are definitely waiting for us to come out. You choose, will we go out there together or will we go out separately? It’s okay, that you don’t go out, but you’re absent for today.” Said Jake.

“Tssk! I can’t be absent!”

“So, what will you choose?” Jake asked her.

Nicole thought carefully before answering.

“Wait, when we go out together, we mean that right? They will think I slept here. But if I’ll be alone later, they’ll definitely ask me why I came out of your room! Grrrrhhh!” disgusted Nicole said.

Jake waited for her to answer, while watching her reaction.

“Okay, I’ll just take a bath, let’s go out together.” Nicole replied.

“Okay, all right, I’ll wait for you.” Jake replied and sat down on the chair next to the table.

Nicole hurried to take a bath and get dressed. Then she covered her whole face with shoul and took her bag which was hidden in front of her and she also covered it.

Jake laughed at her appearance.

“Haha, can you still see that?” Jake asked laughing.

“Sure, I’ll hold you.” Said Nicole.

“Okay.”

Then Jake opened the bedroom door, he first looked around to see if anyone was there. It was good and no one was there, Nicole slowly came out and followed Jake.

When they went down the hallway, they saw the other students waiting outside the building. They stopped walking and hid for a while.

“Tssk! How is that! The number of them.” Nicole asked worriedly.

“Ah, just bow down, so they can’t see your face and let’s walk faster.” Jake told her.

“Okay.”

“So, are you ready?” Jake asked her.

She nodded and Jake held her hand again. Then she took a deep breath and followed Jake.

Nicole’s nervousness as she walked out of the dorm, she immediately saw the students running towards them.

She remained bent over and clung tightly to Jake’s hand, as they walked fast.

“Jake! Jake, who is that? Is that your girlfriend?”

“Jake! Jake! Who is she?”

They ask, as they take pictures and videos, as they chase their walk.

Jake ignored them and just kept walking, suddenly someone grabbed Nicole’s shoul and Nicole screamed in shock.

“Aaahhh!” Nicole shouted.

Jake immediately stopped and hugged Nicole so as not to see her face and Nicole plunged her face into Jake’s chest. Jake was angry at what the student did and told her.

“Can you stop now? Get out of here!” Jake commands them.

One student replied, “We just want to know who that woman is with you.”

“Yes, we want to know.” Others also said.

“Well, I don’t want you to interfere in my private life! Go away, otherwise we will report you to the Principal!” Jake shouted at them angrily.

They were silent and looked at each other. Nicole immediately fixed the removed shoul and they continued to walk with Nicole. The students no longer chased them.

When they passed the room without many people, Nicole removed her shoul and let go of Jake’s hand.

“Oh, why did you remove that?” Jake asked in astonishment.

“It’s okay maybe here, no one can see us. Thank you.” Nicole said, as she hid her shoul inside the bag.

“It’s nothing, go for a walk first, I will follow you.” Jake commands her.

“Okay then.”

After responding, Nicole walked first, not far away Jake followed her. When she got inside the classroom, Jane immediately greeted her when she saw him enter.

“Nicole, well did you get out there?” she asked.

“Yes, Jake helped me.” she answered weakly, as Jake passed by their classroom.

Jane was surprised, as Jake passed by and even held her hand in her mouth.

“Oh, he sent you?” Jane asked.

“Shhii, don’t make any noise.” Nicole scolded, then they went to the chair and there continued the conversation.

“How did you get out? You were not caught?” asked Jane.

“No, I covered my face. It almost saw my face, but fortunately Jake hugged me quickly so they still couldn’t see my face.” Smiling Nicole said.

“It is good that you escaped those who are chasing you. Eh, how is that later, when you go back to the dorm?” Jane asked.

“Yes, haist! Whatever!” Nicole replied as she sighed.

Sometime later, some of their classmates arrived and talked about the issue about Jake’s girlfriend.

One of their classmates approached and asked them a question.

“Nicole and Jane, did you know the Second Chance band, maybe you also know who Jake’s girlfriend is?” she asked them.

They looked at each other before answering.

“Yes we know them, but we do not know Jake’s girlfriend.” Said Jane.

“Tell me, maybe you know something.” Another student asked.

“Tssk! If I were you, stop that, because Jake might be angry with you! You know, I heard they will sing at the festival, maybe you want them not to play anymore?” Jane asked them.

The two students looked at each other and asked.

“Yes, let’s not ask them anymore.”

After saying this, the two immediately returned to their seats.

After class, the Principal called Nicole, and Nicole and Jane were surprised.

“Oh why were you called? Did you do anything again?” Jane asked worriedly.

“Nothing!” Nicole’s biased answer.

“Tssk, all right, I’ll just go with you.”

Then they went to the Principal’s Office, nervously Nicole knocked and slowly went inside.

She was shocked to see who was inside the office sitting in front of the Principal’s desk; she stopped and did not know what to say.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
