Chapter 21 – Can We Meet?
When Nicole arrived at the Principal’s office she knocked softly and opened the door. When she entered, she was shocked to see who was inside the office, she saw Jake sitting and talking to the Principal.
She was even more nervous when she saw Jake, as if she already knew why she was called here. She approached and greeted the Principal.
“Good morning Ma’am!” She greeted her weakly.
Jake and her looked at each other as he was honest in front of it.
“Good morning, sit down first and we will talk,” said Mrs. Gomez.
Nicole sat in the other chair.
“I called the two of you because of the spreading news here on campus; I just want to know the truth from you. Ms. Richard, are you really Mr. George’s girlfriend and you slept in his dorm last night?” asked the Principal.
Nicole was surprised by the Principal’s question; she did not know what to say.
“Ah -”
“Yes Ma’am, she is my girlfriend.” Jake answered while looking at the Principal.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Nicole was surprised by what Jake said.
“Hey!” and she glared at Jake.
“Well, if you are lovers, I can do nothing there. However, this school forbids the taking of women to men’s dorms.” Said Mrs. Gomez.
“Is that so, but as far as I know the school was the first to not comply with its regulations.” Said Jake.
“What do you mean?” Mrs. Gomez asked in astonishment.
“Ah, Maam, Jake means, in fact I’m in the men’s dorm, and actually I’m in his dorm.” Said Nicole.
“What?! Since when?” Mrs. Gomez asked in surprise.
“Since the class started, I asked the admin why I went to the men’s dorm, but they said they were wrong and they said I could not be transferred to the women’s dorm, because it was full.” Nicole explained.
“Ah is that so, well, you will be forgiven if you are put in the men’s dorm. Let me talk to the admin and if there is a vacancy I will immediately transfer you there.” Said Mrs. Gomez.
“Ah, thank you Ma’am.” Nicole replied.
“Well, if you were together in the same dorm, I hope Mr. George doesn’t take advantage of Ms. Richard, you know maybe what I want to tell you.” Said Mrs. Gomez.
Jake nodded, “Yes Ma’am, I understand.”
“Okay, I hope you don’t just let other students know that you are in the same room, because you already know what can happen. It can be harmful to the school and also affect your grades. I hope you do not tell this to others, do we understand each other?” Principal asked.
“Yes Ma’am.” They both answered.
“Okay go ahead, you can go back to your classes.” It commands them.
They then said goodbye to their Principal and as he walked down the hallway he talked to Jake.
“Jake, why did you say I am your girlfriend? You know that is not true.” Nicole asked, annoyed.
“Tssk!”
And Jake approached her and bowed and brought his face closer to Nicole’s.
“So what, if I say you are my girlfriend? There is nothing you can do!”
Nicole was stunned as Jake was about to kiss her.
“Stop!” Nicole scolded.
“Tssk!” he teased her and once smiled at Nicole.
Then Jake walked ahead of her. Disgusted, she was left alone and walked back to their classroom.
When the classes ended, Jane invited her to have a snack at a coffee shop near the school. As Nicole ordered at the counter she stepped back and stepped on her back, she almost fell down and leaned on what she had stepped on.
Jane looked at her and her eyes widened to see who was behind her. She slowly turned around to see who it was.
“Jake.” she whispered.
But Jake just stared at her badly and took a tissue that was on top of the counter.
“T-thanks.” Nicole said softly.
Nicole thought Jake would hand her the tissue she had taken because of Nicole’s wet clothes, but Jake bent down and wiped his leader’s shoes and Jake glared at her again.
“Jake!” Tim called him.
And then he went to Time and Stevent’s chair.
She just sighed when Jake walked away, then she just took a tissue herself to wipe the dirt off her clothes that were slightly covered with ice coffee.
Then Jane and Nicole sat in the empty seat, Jane was surprised by how Jake behaved earlier, so she immediately asked Nicole.
“Girl, did you and Jake fight? Why does he seem to look badly at you earlier?” Jane asked in astonishment.
“Huh, I don’t know!” Nicole replied.
“Eh, why were you called to the Principal’s office earlier?” Jane asked.
“You know, the Principal found out that news was spreading about Jake and me.”
“Oh, what did the Principal say?”
“That is, this Jake admitted that I am his girlfriend, which is not true.” said Nicole while drinking ice coffee.
“Hey, it’s okay for him to admit that you’re his girlfriend, so you don’t have to hide later when you go to the men’s dorm.” Said Jane.
“That’s the problem, we told the Principal what Jake and I were in, that we were in the same room as Jake, but she said we should not let anyone else know.” Said Nicole.
“Hi Nicole!”
A man suddenly greeted Nicole, and they both looked at it.
“Oh, hi Harry!” A smiling Nicole said.
“Can I share?” Harry asked as he held the food tray.
“Of course.”
“Thanks!”
Then Harry sat down next to Nicole.
“By the way, this is Jane, my best friend.” Introducing Nicole.
“This is Harry, he was my blind date.”
“Ah he is.” Jane replied.
“Hi Jane, nice meeting you.” And Harry held out his hand to Jane.
“Nice meeting you too.” Jane replied with a smile and they shook hands.
Not far away, Jake noticed the man sitting next to Nicole’s chair and noticed that she was having a good time talking to Nicole and Jane.
“Jake, are you listening?” Tim asked him, as he noticed Jake staring at Nicole’s table and watching them.
“Y-yes… What is that again?” Jake asked.
“Haist, I said it’s only two weeks and it’s a festival, have you done that original song that we will play at the event?” Tim asked.
“I’m almost done.” Said Jake.
“Okay, after Henry leaves the hospital, let’s try to practice.” Said Tim.
But Jake turned to Nicole’s place again. Tim and Stevent looked at each other and the two motioned to ask Jake a question.
“Ah, Jake, we heard that news spreading, that you put a woman to sleep in the dorm? Is that Nicole?” Stevent asked hesitantly.
Jake nodded and replied, “Yes, and I didn’t put her to sleep, she really lives there with me.”
The two were surprised by what Jake said.
“What?! You and Nicole are in the same room? Since when?” Tim asked.
“Well, since the class started.” Jake replied while drinking coffee.
“Are you together? Why didn’t you tell us? It means she is the woman I saw before entering your dorm.” Said Stevent.
“She is okay now. We just hid it because I don’t want others to know that I have a woman with, you know.” said Jake.
“Well, how is that? I’m sure a lot of people will be jealous, haha.” Tim jokes with Jake.
“Tssk, take care of them.”
“Who is that with Nicole and Jane, the man you were looking at earlier?” Stevent asked.
“I don’t know that either.” Jake replied.
“Looks like Nicole likes it, doesn’t it?” Stevent asked Tim.
“Yes, well I’m sure Jake won’t let Nicole, his first love, be taken from him! Hahaha.” The two laughed at the same time.
“Tssk! When will Henry be released from the hospital?” Jake’s topic changes.
“He said maybe on Wednesday he will come out, that’s right, maybe on Friday we will practice.” Said Stevent.
“Okay, I’ll finish that song.” Jake replied.
Then they talked for a long time and talked.
After talking to Nicole, Jane and Harry, they said goodbye to each other. Nicole and Jane entered the campus, and as they walked, they talked.
“It’s good that you have now found a sensible blind date, and Harry is also handsome, you two are good.” Jane said, smiling.
“Yes and he is also happy to talk and be with.” Nicole replied.
“In case you have a problem.” Said Jane.
“What’s the problem?” Nicole asked.
“Didn’t you see Jake’s tiger look earlier on you? It looks like life will swallow you up talking to Harry earlier.” Said Jane.
“Huh, you noticed that too.” Said Nicole.
“Of course, he was always looking earlier and seemed to want to stand up and support Harry earlier.” Said Jane.
“Are you serious, please?”
“How is Jake? If your boyfriend Jake is rumored to be, in case your parents want to stay with Harry? Hey, Nicole, you’re in trouble.” Said Jane.
“That’s not true of Jake and me.” Said Nicole.
“It’s not true, but you love Jake more, don’t you? Admit it!” said Jane.
“Huh, no noh!” Nicole said.
“No, don’t lie! I know you like Jake, especially now that you are together every day. You must be in love with Jake.” Said Jane.
“Haist, not really.”
“Hey, it’s up to you if you don’t want to admit it. Alright, let’s just meet tomorrow.”
Then they said goodbye to each other and Nicole entered Jake’s dorm.
When he entered the dorm and was able to rest he thought of playing a game. He was enjoying playing when he suddenly received a pop-up message from his teammate Blue Sniper, who became his husband in the game.
“Hi, how are you?” Blue Sniper asked.
“I’m fine, how about you?”
“It’s okay too. I would like to ask you something.” Blue Sniper asked.
“What’s that?”
“Can we meet?” Blue Sniper asked.
Nicole was shocked by what Blue Sniper asked her.
