Chapter 159 - Date?
After breakfast, everyone headed to their classes. Sarah had to separate from everyone else and as she walked to her class, she couldn't help but watch the Elite Five heading to a different building.
Sage Class.
Her eye narrowed, thinking of the vast gap between her and Kyle. It wasn't just the social class difference. It was basically everything! Right now, she had a hold that no one else had: she is his sister's best friend. Once they graduated, however, anything could happen.
Sarah bit her bottom lip in nervousness.
She was just an average person, from a normal background. She was not smart like the people Kyle normally hung out with. She wasn't striking looking but she was good enough, she believed. Sarah walked on to her class, her head lost in thought.
Taking Wing Chun was but the first step. The first step in improving herself. The longer she stayed by Kyle's side, the more she felt unable to think of the possibility of not being by his side. She had been complacent, thinking of just the status quo.
The last month, however, truly opened her eyes.
Kay's act of opening that Insta account was Godsent. At first, she had used it to simply catch glimpses of Kyle in various situations. It fed her desire to see him all the time. However, at each update, Sarah finally noticed how much work Kyle put in. How much pressure was on him.
She had known how difficult it had been for him to always be under the spotlight but this. This was a whole new level. The rescue he had executed. The company he had turned around. The rock climbing competition he had won.
Every, single, thing he did. He did with flair. With excellence.
While her?
She was only 14, she kept telling herself but looking at Kyle's Insta account ... so was he.
Sarah took a deep breath as she walked through her classroom door. She had a lot of work to do.
?? Sage Class ??
Sam was hunched over at his desk, his face all serious as he was writing a few things in his all trusty notebook. This one, however, was unlike the normal one he had with him.
When he had been following Kyle around, it was a simple black notebook with a spiral coil binding. The one he was writing in at the moment, was a book-type bound (tape bound) light coloured notebook with one rabbit sticker at the top right corner.
He was busy looking at some data on the computer and writing down notes after thinking a while. Sam's computer screen had a privacy filter that he had modified and made himself, so he was not worried about other people seeing what was displayed.
What Sam had done was take an older monitor that he had previously and removed the polarising filter that is between the TFT display and the glass. He then took an old spectacle frame of his and placed a new polarising filter on it. The result?
If other people were to look at his computer screen, the display would be so bright that nothing could be seen. Only by using the glasses he had modified with the polarising filter could the contents be seen.*
Xing Han, being Xing Han, couldn't help but come over to check out what Sam was doing so intently. Sam quickly closed his notebook and glared at the curious Xing Han that stood beside him.
"What re
"Right," Sam nodded, his eyes clear and bright.
"And you do not want to go on a double date with me," Xing Han continued.
"Of course not," Sam said.
"But you have no objections if she sees other people?" Xing Han pressed on.
Sam clenched his jaw but still managed to answer, "That's her choice now, isn't it? Why would I object?"
Xing Han grinned and got up, "Great!"
Sam watched as Xing Han walked away, and a sudden fear hit him. Sam swallowed a lump in his throat and then shouted, "WAIT! Where are you going?!"
Xing Han didn't even stop as he answered clearly, "Oh, nowhere special."
As he passed through the door, however, he stopped, turned and looked at Sam straight in the eye, "Just the first year classrooms. There's someone I want to ask out."
"XING HAN!!" Sam shouted, suddenly getting up and running after Xing Han who had disappeared.
