Emily's POV.
Today is a very special day in my life, after all the stress and the sleepless nights it all was all over. I said to myself.
I was going to submit my project work and then hurrah!! it will finally be done. I walked inside campus which was crowded with my classmates everywhere. I was in a very good mood as I jumped and tiptoed to find my friends among the crowd. I sighted them among the crowd talking to a knight in shining armor. He was gorgeous actually but I wasn't someone to like someone in first sight but this time I knew I did even though I was far away from them.
I got closer to Frank and tapped him on his shoulder since he was not facing my direction, he turned to look at me but not with his usual smile. But what amazed me was that the handsome stranger, he couldn't take his eyes off me even though I was staring right back at him. I looked at my dress to check if something was wrong with my dress code but saw nothing wrong. And also saw that his attention was particularly on my face so I awkwardly said,
"Hi"
He was still absentminded, so Enoch my other friend saw what was happening and instinctively shoved his hand and said,
"I think she is speaking to you. "
He looked back at me and asked
"Is that right?"
I nodded and the stranger looked into my eyes once more before apologizing,
"I'm sorry I was lost for a moment, my name is Eddie Rockson. Once again I'm sorry. "
"That's okay no crime committed. My name is...." I was saying.
"Emily Smith, I know your name remember? I only mentioned yours because I thought it had escaped you. How have you been all this while?" inquired.
"You know my name? how? oh maybe my my friends mentioned me to you. " I queried.
He shook his head slowly and affirmed,
"No they hadn't, I know you and you know me. Why is it that...It's okay if you don't recognize me. "
He turned towards the boys and said,
"I'm sorry that I'm leaving you hanging but I have somewhere to be. See you at the graduation. "
He turned and left with me staring at his back until he finally disappeared.
"Well that was weird, how the heck did he know my name?" I asked no one in particular.
They also shrugged but Enoch surprised me when he said,
"You really do not know the school president? Where have you been all these whole years? you just passed through the school just like that. All you know how to do is to study and study. What's the point anyway? you will know it without being thought or studying. " Enoch pointed out.
"Do you blame me? I am restricted okay? knowing what happens in the school will only lure me to engage in it and you know I can't. " I said looking down at my toes.
"Well restricted lady, can we go and submit our work now? You didn't even attend the party I organized. " said Enoch with dissatisfaction.
"You know how it is, why are you angry now? I just couldn't come, my dad wouldn't go to sleep even when it was two o'clock last night. I'm sorry okay?" I said looking pitiful.
"Why all the restrictions anyway? you are no child. " Enoch lamented.
Frank wasn't the one to ask questions when it came to my father. But this time he was also angry.
"I know but I'm his only child, he is just too careful for my own good. Anyway how did the work go for you?" I added smiling.
They just ignored me and walked ahead. I guess this time I got some hearts broken, I trotted behind them as we went to the office.
