One More Night

Meanwhile when Jake saw Nicole in the dorm, he talked to her.

“Hey, where are my shades? That you took at the bar?” Jake asked Nicole.

“Uhhm, I can’t remember where I put it.” said Nicole.

“Find it, I need it.” said Jake.

“Ah, I’ll just buy one for you, I’ll just replace it with a new one.” said Nicole.

“I don’t think so, it’s from another country, so it’s expensive!” said Jake.

“What?! From another country? All right, I’ll look for it.” Nicole said in surprise.

She then searched for her belongings to look for Jake’s shades. But after looking for it many times she still can’t find it. Thinking that she might have left it at Jane’s house, so she called Jane.

“Hello Jane, have you seen Jake’s shade?” she asked Jane.

“No, why?” Jane answered.

“He’s looking for it, asking me to return it back. Maybe you have seen it in your house before we left.” Nicole asked.

“Uhm, looks like I saw it before, at the top of the drawer.” Jane said.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Really? Can you send it here at school tomorrow, so I can give it to Jake?” Nicole asked, feeling relief.

“Oh, okay, I will.” Jane agreed.

“Okay, thanks!” Nicole said.

“Wait, is Jake there?” Jane asked.

Nicole whispered, before speaking.

“Yes, he is here.” she answered in a low voice and sat down at the table to look at her assignments.

“What is he doing?” Jane asked again.

Slowly she looked at Jake, she saw him holding his cell phone while sitting in the other chair.

“None, just playing with his cell phone.” she replied.

“Is that so?” said Jane.

“Oh, go ahead; I will answer our assignments now. Bye!” She said goodbye to Jane and then she put down the cell phone.

She immediately read her assignments, while answering and writing her assignments, Nicole did not realize that Jake was close to her. He bent down and whispered in her left ear as his hand rested on both tables.

“So, have you found my shades? Jake asked softly in her ear.

Nicole was surprised when Jake suddenly whispered to her.

“Haahh!” and she suddenly turned to Jake but since Jake was so close to her their lips meet again.

Unexpectedly, she and Jake kissed again. Nicole’s eyes widened in shock and so did Jake; he was surprised at Nicole’s kiss.

Nicole immediately backed away and stood near the door in shock at what had happened, while Jake smiled at her reaction.

“Looks like you do have hobbies kissing me.” he mocked Nicole.

“You jerk! I don’t want to kiss you!” disgusted Nicole said.

“Oh, really? You always do! Give me my shades, I will use it tomorrow.” Jake said to her and held out his hand.

“Ah, I left it at Jane’s house, I can get it tomorrow.” Nicole replied.

“Tssk! Why did you leave there? What should I do, I don’t have anything to use tomorrow?” Jake asked her with disappointment.

“I will get it tomorrow, once I have it, I will immediately give it to you. Isn’t it your gig at night?” Nicole asked.

“Tssk!”

But Jake just stared at her badly and he climbed to his bed. While, she returned to her chair and continued writing.

The next day, as they lined up in the canteen, they were surprised when Jake’s group arrived and they went straight in front of the line without planning to follow the line-up. They just smiled at the women in the front row and immediately put them in line.

“Tssk! Who do they think they are? Are they untouchable? So annoying.” Nicole angrily said.

“Leave them alone, they might hear you.” Jane scolds Nicole.

“How should I just leave them? You see, we have been lined up here for quite a while, then when they arrived, they just simply went in front without thinking of the others who were also waiting.” Nicole said loudly, she really meant to raise her voice to hear it by Jake’s friends.

“Shhiii, lower your voice.” Jane rebuked her again.

But it was too late because Jake and his friends had already heard what Nicole had said about them. Tim walked over to Nicole and spoke.

“Jake, your girlfriend is saying something against us.” Tim said while smiling as he stood in front of Nicole and Jane.

Jake turned and approached them, and without a word he pulled Nicole from the line and brought her in front and asked her to choose food.

“All right, choose what you want, I will pay for it.” Jake commands her.

Nicole, in astonishment, intended to leave, but Jake blocked both his arms in her path. She and Jake stared at each other badly and then realized she could do nothing but order food. Jake also called Jane, and she came over without complaint and helped Nicole to choose their food.

After they made their choice Jake paid for all their food.

“Thank you Jake!” Jane said smiling, Jake just nodded at her.

Nicole did not speak and could not look Jake directly in the eyes. Until they sit down at the table, Nicole’s heart still beats faster. And the other students were looking at them gossiping about what happened.

“Haist, good thing Jake is kind and did not scold us.” said Jane to her.

“Huh, I never thought they would react like that to what I said. And it’s better that way, so they will not repeat it again. Even if they are well known as band members, it doesn’t mean they have all the privileges here. Students should be treated equally.” Nicole’s reasoning.

“Even though, next time, think about what you are going to say before you speak. They are also a little bit embarrassed by what you said earlier.” said Jane.

“Okay Teacher!” Nicole said smiling and she continued eating.

While eating, they noticed that the students were looking at them and talking. Later Jake approached their table and asked Nicole.

“Hey, where are my shades?” he asked Nicole.

Nicole looked at Jane.

“Cheng, where are the shades?” Nicole asked.

“Uh, here.” Jane answered and took the shades inside her bag and gave it to Nicole.

Nicole reached for Jake.

“Here.” Nicole said briefly and handed it to Jake.

Jake immediately picked it up and left and returned to his seat.

The other students looked at each other again and whispered,

wondering what is the relationship of Jake and Nicole.

“Seriously, is she really Jake’s girlfriend?” another student asked.

“Tssk, maybe she’s just Jake’s classmate.” another one answered.

“That’s right, based on her appearance, it’s impossible for Jake to like her.” said one student as she stared at Nicole’s face.

When Nicole heard that, she was confused about her look.

“Wait, what do I look like?” Nicole whispered to Jane while drinking juice.

“Well, if you don’t have long hair, you look like a man.” Jane answered her bluntly.

“What? Is that how I look? Do I look like a man?” asked Nicole.

“Because you did not fix yourself. Look how you dressed up, you always wear a t-shirt and pants, why don’t you try to wear a blouse and skirt? Then you haven’t fixed it, you can’t even tie your hair and you don’t even put on make-up.” Jane explained.

Nicole sneered before answering, “I don’t need to use make-up and be beautiful!”

“Okay fine, but don’t blame them if that’s what they think of you.” said Jane.

“Hump, they can say anything they want, I don’t care!” said Nicole.

“So, you don’t care if they say Jake’s girlfriend is a lesbian?” Jane asked.

“Hey, correction, I’m not a lesbian and most of all I’m not his girlfriend!” said Nicole.

“If you don’t want to be called a lesbian, dress like a woman, not like that.” said Jane.

“Tssk, I really don’t want to wear a skirt, I’m not comfortable in it and I can’t run when I need to.” said Nicole, still depending on her way of clothing.

“Just try to wear it, so you will get used to it. If you are going to run, wear cycling shorts underneath.” said Jane.

“Huh, I don’t have clothes like that.” Nicole said softly.

“What do you mean nothing? Don’t you have dresses? When you go on a blind date, you get dressed.” said Jane.

“That’s different!” said Nicole.

“Well, if you don’t have clothes, I can lend you, since we have the same measurements.” Jane is still insisting.

“Okay, I’ll think about it. Speaking of blind dates, do you know Mom, call me again for my future blind date. It’s annoying; can you go instead of me?” Nicole asked.

“No way! Your Mom must have given your picture to your blind date. And I also don’t want to date anyone, I just only want to date Henry.” she said smiling while eating the desert.

“Tssk! As if, you have hope in Henry. Look, they are sweet again, Amber even feeding him.” Nicole teases Jane.

“Hmp, that won’t last long! I’m sure they will also break up.” disgusted Jane said.

“How did you make sure? Wait, do you know anything about them?” Nicole asked.

Jane got close to her and whispered.

“I saw Amber before, with another man.” Jane whispered.

“What?! Really? When and where?” Nicole asked in surprise.

“I saw them on the side of the gate before, it was like he took Amber to school,” said Jane.

“Oww, really? So, when Henry catches her, they will surely break up. Wait, maybe it’s just his brother?” Nicole asked.

“No, I have clearly seen that guy kissing her goodbye.” said Jane.

“Is that so?” said Nicole.

After eating they went back to their room. They saw Tim standing in front of their room.

“Hey Nicole, why is Tim standing there?” Jane asked her in a surprised tone.

“Ehh? I don’t know.” Nicole frowned, as they continued walking.
