It was the first school day of Grade Eight. Serena pushed the door open as usual, but there was no one waiting at the door anymore.
Serena took a deep breath, 'How terrible the habit is!'
'But Avery, I'll get used to it.'
"Serena." a male voice came. Serena looked up with a rush and saw a smiling face with sunshine.
Kieran ran to her and said, "My dear Serena, from now on, I'll accompany you to school every day."
'He is in the UK now, what am I expecting for?!'
The sight of Kieran made Serena change from pleased to indifferent.
"Serena, your disappointment really hurts me, though I am not Avery." Kieran saw the rapid change on Serena's face.
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard that Avery went to the UK. So, it is my job to escort you now. Serena, I know that you like Maybach, and this is the new car I got from my Dad yesterday."
Shooting a glance at the new car, the same as that one of Avery, Serena said, "You make a mistake. I don't like the car, but that person in the car."
Then, she went in her own Lincoln.
"Serena, if you don't like it, I don't mind that you give me a ride." Kieran got in Serena's car without invitation.
Serena felt defeated by his shamelessness, 'What a weirdo Kieran is!'
One might call it love, but Kieran had been clingy to Serena since kindergarten when they were too little to know anything about love.
Their entanglements had lasted seven years, but Serena still didn't know why Kieran was so clingy to her.
Did he love her? He never mentioned love.
Serena asked him why, and he answered, "We are deskmates."
How weird that a deskmate was so clingy to the other! It should be a singular case in the world.
"Serena, will you miss Avery?"
Nonsense! She was dying to see him again! She missed him so much that she hadn't slept well in the past few days.
His departure made Serena realize how important Avery was to her life.
"Serena, don't worry. I'll fill the place of Avery to protect you," Kieran said seriously.
Serena did not take Kieran's words seriously because she already had a plan to fulfill.
Serena joined in the entrance examination for secondary school at Grade Eight and was admitted to Grade Ten.
That was how she tried to catch up with Avery.
When the school opened, Serena felt glad that Kieran was left behind.
She could start a quiet life now. However, the lot was unpredictable.
A brightly smiling face greeted Serena upon her entry to the new classroom, "Hi, Serena, surprise! Look, we are classmates again!"
Serena was lost for words.
Desperation caught her, as she never heard that this chatterbox would skip grads as she did.
