Chapter 167: Accomplices II

On Sunday, Serena and Via walked to the school annex's building as they will be heading to the orphanage today. Before reaching the vicinity, Serena saw Charlton with Kylo. Thinking that Kylo doesn't know yet, she pretended not to see them. However, to her surprise, the two boys headed towards their direction.

Serena met Charlton's eyes, and he gave her a lopsided smile. Immediately she understood that Kylo must already know. 

"Hi Serena, Via, hehe…" Kylo began. Although Charlton has not confessed, he just knew that they were back together. Anyway, what can he do if his friend doesn't want to listen to him? Oh well, it's actually better for him. This way, he now has some valid excuse to be with Via.

Serena thinking that Charlton told Kylo was the one who squealed the truth. "He knows?"

Charlton wanted to face palm.

Kylo started laughing out loud. "Just as I thought. Charlie, you can never hide this kind of thing from me. Anyway, Via, don't you think we should leave these two alone for the meantime? It's still early, and we're not leaving in at least 15 minutes."

Via knew that Kylo was just saying those words because he wants to get her alone. Truthfully, she was just ignoring him because Serena and Charlton broke up. Seeing that the two were again back together, she nodded in agreement.

Kylo grinned, if there's another good thing about Charlton and Serena making up, it's that he can pursue Via again without her ignoring him. 

Serena shook her head as she smiled wryly at Charlton. Okay, so she's the one who spilled all the beans, but then again, it's better this way. Looking around and seeing no one in the area, she smiled gratefully at Kylo and Via, then she tugged Charlton's sleeve as she pulled him behind the walls of the school's main building.

"Sorry, I thought he knew and umpft…" Serena started to apologize, but before she can continue, Charlton started kissing her lips. Not having an ounce of complaint, she kissed him back.

Feeling that they were both out of breath, Charlton separated from her and leaned forward so that their foreheads were touching. "No need to apologize, Kylo already started suspecting me and have even asked me yesterday. Anyway, he will know eventually as he's always keeping tabs on me."

Serena laughed as she began to tease him, "Should I get worried?"

At first Charlton did not get what she was implying, but when he did, he smirked and tapped her nose. "He's been my best friend for ages, no need to get jealous now."

Serena annoyed with his habit of touching her nose smacked his hand, "Stop doing that. Anyway, joking aside, I already told my friends. It's so difficult to hide this from them, and besides, we still need accomplices."

"Okay… actually, I also thought it through. Although our romantic relationship is still a secret, we can still act just like before where we're on friendly terms in public. Everyone knows that we're working together. Honestly, the only person I'm concerned about regarding this is your brother."

"Don't worry about him. I will handle him."

Charlton shook his head, "Unlike the others, Leonard will never agree to this. He won't simply lie down and let us be."

Serena grinned. "Actually, I'm not really going to tell him that we're back together. I'll just say that we still have projects to work together on. Besides, he knows that only you can help me in my music prowess."

He chuckled hearing her words, "Okay, that might just work. Not to be arrogant, but I still feel gratified whenever I remember his face when he accepted the fact that you guys needed my help last time." What? He's human too.

Serena feeling some arrogance emitting from him in waves pretended to look at her watch, "Oh, won't you look at the time, it's time to go."

"Is it?" he teased, knowing that she herself felt embarrassed about that too. 

"Hmpft, I'll go first. See you later." She said as she pulled away from him.

Charlton knowing that it is indeed time to go nodded his head, but before she could leave, he pulled her back to kiss her one more time. 

"I love you." He whispered as he embraced her.

Serena smiled, although they said it so many times already, she never gets tired of hearing it and saying it back to him, "I love you too."

"So… hehehe…" Kylo began as he walked with Via.

Via rolled her eyes, "Just say it already." If there's one thing she hated the most, it's people who beats around the bush. 

Kylo didn't understand it himself. Usually, he's smooth like silk, especially with the ladies, but when it comes to Via, he always seems to become tongue-tied. At the beginning, he could not understand why he acts the way he does whenever she's around. It's like he wanted to show her only the good side of him. She wasn't the most beautiful nor the sexiest woman, in fact, she was a bit masculine that he's afraid that she can beat him up. But still, there was something about her that draws him in. 

When he got to know her better, he realized that she was different. She was serious, determined, and very disciplined. Really his opposite, but he respects her for it. Then, when Charlton and Serena broke up, and she started ignoring him, he felt like he started to like her more. For he realized that aside from all her virtues he already listed, she was also a very loyal person.

Anyway, he stopped walking as he cleared his throat and stood up straight.

Via stopped walking when he did, then she turned to face him. Really, what's up with him? He's always so weird. At first, he was like this joker in the group, he's quite funny she thought. Yet, her cousin always says that he's a sexist. Via did not pass judgement as he was entitled to his own opinion. Besides, all's good so long as he never says them to her face.

When he asked her to go with him to spring ball, she was quite flattered. Really, no one has ever treated her like a girl before. So, a part of her was happy, but she didn't really think much of it as he never said anything to hint that he sees her that way. 

Then, after that, Serena and Charlton broke up, so she felt like, she had to choose. Thinking about it, she was a little unfair for ignoring him. 

"Via, ah…I'm happy that we're back on speaking terms again. Hehehe…" okay, never mind. He can't tell her he likes her out of the blue just like that. What will she say? Maybe he'll just be met with her fist. 

Via nodded her head. "Yes, it's better this way. I apologize for ignoring you before."

"Haha! No worries, I understand." Really, he should be happy, but a part of him was still crying. He didn't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but Via with all her admirable traits can be really dense when it comes to the opposite gender.
