I'm in Love with the Campus Crush

One Step Closer

Morning I immediately went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast. I take all my ingredients and make me a cup of that delicious coffee once more. Then I made toast

"Nothing beats a nice cup of coffee with a buttery toast while looking at a beautiful scenery" I said as I had breakfast in my hammock

After I am done eating breakfast I take a bath and go on a joy ride around the campus. I saw the different buildings within the campus. Then I saw a huge parking lot full of black Nimbus Strikers.

"Maybe this is where they park all the cars" a thought in my mind

I went to have a closer look and it seems it's entrance and exit is outside the campus. I immediately went there.

I finally arrived but the guard won't let me in. I showed him my I.D. still he won't let me in. I stepped back and think

"Surely there is a way to enter that parking lot but how" a thought in my mind

Then someone entered

"Hey! Why did you let him in" I shouted

The guard didn't bother to answer back. He then went back to his station. Then more of them walked straight inside so I tried joining them but the guard caught me. He lifts me up then throws me away

I look at the people entering and they are all drivers. No wonder the guard let them in. With that information I finally thought of something

I gave Elena a call

"Hey Elena can I borrow your driver for awhile" I asked

"Why mine don't you want your personal driver" Elena said

"No thanks, I want your driver. I need him right now. Tell him to fetch me at the car parking lot" I ordered

"Fine" she said then hang up

I waited for her driver's arrival after sometime a car stopped in front of me

"Sir Ramon?" The driver asked

"That's me, are you Ms. Paterson's driver?" I asked

He nod I opened the door then enter

"Let's go" I said

He stepped on the gas

"Where are we going Sir?" He asked

"Inside that parking lot" I ordered

"But Sir what are we going to do there?" He is uncertain

"I need to look for something?" I said

"And what is that Sir?" He asked

"A black Nimbus Striker with a plate number of UWU 1109" I said

He gave me a stare using the mirror

"Why go for all the trouble checking the cars one by one if I can lend you an archive of the university's transportation" He offered

"What is there like that?"

"Can I have it now?" I asked

"Yeah let's go get it now. The archive is at my apartment" he turns the car over and we head straight to his apartment

We arrived and we went inside his apartment he offered me a seat then he went inside his bedroom

"Here you go Sir the master list of all transportation the university has" he hands over a log book

I check what is inside. Just a list of plate numbers, car models and the drivers information

"Thank you so much. How could I ever repay you?" I said with such joy

"Well I was hoping if you could cook me that pasta of yours" he asked

"Yeah I will give you a huge container but first I must check this out. I will hand this back together with the pasta" I said

He gets the idea

He dropped me off at the boarding house. I gave Elena a call as I head back to my room

"Elena you can have your driver back thank you"

"PS you need to refuel bye!" I said then I hang up

A sat down on my couch and placed the book on the table. The plate numbers are arranged alphabetically so I jumped right straight to "U". I gave it a quick scan and I saw what I am looking for. The black Nimbus Striker is owned by the university but there is no driver details written beside it

I started wondering why then I browsed the book once more then I noticed that some other cars don't have a driver's detail. I gave Ms. Paterson's driver a call

"Hello it's me Ramon sorry to bother you but why are the other cars don't have a driver's information" I asked

"Who is that?" Elena asked from the background

"Sir Ramon" the driver asked

"What are you up to this time" Elena seems grumpy

"I am not talking to you, I am talking to your driver. If you excuse us I still have an important question that needs to be answered." I said

"Well Sir if you see a blank that means it's confidential" the driver answered

"Okay thanks" I said then hang up

"Looks like I still need to find that driver and ask him who is he working with" a thought in my mind

I closed the book. I rested for a while then went to the grocery store to buy ingredients for my special pasta. I also bought my groceries to stash.

I went back to my room and started cooking. While waiting for it to simmer I check my i********: account. I started browsing my newsfeed and I saw an album Skylia posted. I clicked it

I saw different photos of a huge gathering, the place was nice, tons of people are there and looks like they are all having fun

Then I saw Vermilion and Skylia in one picture. The picture was awfully disturbing. Vermilion is dancing with Skylia. I didn't feel angry, pissed, or hate anything. The moment I saw the photo I knew something was wrong. Even if Skylia has this huge smile on her face her eyes seem gloomy like a storm cloud.

I browsed the album once more and all photos of Skylia were like that. I started to pity her. I gave her a call. It starts dialing but no one answered

I finished my cooking and called her again but still no answer. I texted Ms. Paterson's driver to go grab his book and food here

I waited for his arrival at the entrance. While waiting I gave Skylia another call but still nothing. Maybe she is still busy partying, it is a big event after all. Moments after a car parked and opens its window

"Sir" the driver said

I immediately approached him and handed over the book and food. I stick my head inside the window there I saw Elena and her assistant

"Hi there" I greeted with a smile

I pull out my head and they went on their way

I head back to my room to have lunch. I sat down on the dining table and ate. While stuffing my face I opened my Instaglam account. Looks like a have a message request I checked it out

"Your Skylia's friend right?" A message from Celestina Rose Bathala

"I wonder who could this be" a thought in my mind

"Yes Ma'am" I replied

I then checked her profile. As soon as the page finished loading she saw her cover photo. Looks like a family picture and Skylia was there

"Don't tell me this is her mom I am talking to!" I shouted

Then I received a message

"This is Skylia's mother and I would like to ask you if you like Skylia"

"Please answer it with your heart and not with your mind" Celestina replied

I was shocked to read such a thing. I was put in the zone. I don't know what she is thinking at this moment so if I answer badly I will ruin my chance in winning Skylia over

I decided to not reply back. I continued eating but it seems I can't swallow my food. I don't know why but I have this strange feeling that I should tell Celestina what I feel about her daughter

"Emre if you are watching me now please hear my prayer"

"I need a sign to whether or not tell Celestina the truth" I prayed

Then a gust of wind blew opening my terrace door the paper on my tea table started flying all over the place so I stood up and ran towards my living room

Then a piece of paper flew right straight at my face. I quickly grabbed it. I then read what I wrote on it. It was my plan about my confession. Then I was enlightened

"Emre thank you" I prayed

This is the sign I was waiting for. I ran back to the dining table and tell Celestina everything I feel about her daughter

Moments after I send everything she replied

"Don't worry I won't tell Skylia a thing you sent me"

"I just wanted to know that's all. As her mother I always wanted the best for her"

"Ma'am about Skylia, she hasn't been answering my calls lately. Why so?" I asked

"Skylia isn't feeling well right now"

"I am really getting worried. Your classes will start tomorrow and this happened" Celestina said

"Maybe that's why Skylia looks gloomy in her photo because she was ill"

"I hope she gets well soon" I said to myself

Looks like our chat finally ended. I finished my lunch and started cleaning up the mess the wind brought
