Old Times

Chapter 14- A new couple? – Part 1



Ana is still in shock, she tries to see who the boy is that Karoline is kissing, and she manages to identify him, it's Scoot.

She's shocked by what she's seen, but feels a certain relief, for a moment she thought it was Luke.

Ana is so focused on looking through the crack in the door that she doesn't feel anyone coming up behind her. He looks through the crack in the door, understands the situation, she closes the door discreetly, lets out a sigh, when again someone whispers in her ear:

"Hm, seeing the others kissing?

Ana jumps with fright, and almost screams, she puts her hand over her mouth to muffle it, she was really concentrating trying to find out who the boy was.

"Oh, what a fright!"

"Shh, they'll hear it that way..."

Luke crossed his arms, made a frustrated face and spoke:

"That could have been us over there..."

Ana threatens to slap him again on the arm, but holds back so as not to make a sound, Luke even prepares to be slapped, but sees that Ana has given up and laughs quietly, she pushes him to get away from the door of the room, they stand and wait in the other corridor while Ana spies, and waits for the two of them to leave the room.

Ana wonders:

(I don't understand this one, Karoline said she likes Luke, and she's kissing Scoot, but she said today that she wanted a boyfriend, oh,yes it could be that Scoot declared himself to her, and now they're boyfriend and girlfriend).

They stand there for about 20 minutes, Luke is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, he's already getting impatient, he just wanted to get some papers from the Guild Room, and finally he saw Ana standing at the door, Ana nudges him to let him know that the two of them are leaving the room:

"Luke, they're leaving...and they're coming this way...I'm so nervous, they're going to see us here."

Luke asks:

"What's wrong with them seeing us?"

Ana replies:

"No, they can't, what if they think I'm joining you in the Elections and think I'm betraying them in some way?"

Luke rolls his eyes, but at her desperation, he pulls her by the hand, opens the classroom door, and pulls her inside, closing the door.

She's leaning against the wall, and Luke is in front of her, he's so close to her, and he signals for her to be quiet while he looks at the door:

"Shh, I'll let you know when they leave."

She stays still and quiet, she avoids even breathing at this point, Luke is so close to her that it's inevitable, she ends up getting closer to his blouse to smell his perfume, it has a slightly woody fragrance, she really liked this fragrance, she concentrated so much on the perfume that she forgot about life. Luke tries to tell her that they've gone, but she realizes that she's concentrating on something, so without moving he stares at her, she comes to her senses and deduces that it's been a while, she looks up (since she's not that tall), and sees that he's looking at her, they stare at each other for a while longer, she does everything she can not to look at his mouth, she really controls herself while her heart beats fast, she finally decides to ask:

"Have they gone?"

Luke nods yes, Ana then reminds him that they have to leave and go to training.

"Oh, training we have to go..."

They stare at each other for a few moments, Ana feels that her heart is still beating fast, and disguises it by saying:

"I'm leaving, you can go then."
