Chapter 10 – Can You knock?
Nicole received a call and wondered whose number it was calling her, as it looked like a call from another country.
“Oh, why don’t you answer it?” Jane asked her.
“Eh, I don’t know who’s calling.” Nicole answered hesitantly.
“It’s mine, I’ll answer.” Jane said and took the phone from Nicole.
She immediately answered the phone.
“Hello!” Jane answered.
“Hello, is this Nicole Richard?” the woman on the other line asked.
“No, I’m her friend, who’s on the line please?” Jane asked.
“Well, I need to talk to Nicole, is she there?” Jane frowned and returned the phone to Nicole.
“Oh, it seems she wants to talk to you.” Jane said, and then Nicole picked up the phone.
“Hello, this is Nicole, who’s in the line?” Nicole asked.
“Oh, hello Nicole, I’m Katrina, I’m the mother of Jake.” She introduced herself.
Nicole’s eyes widened as she introduced herself.
“Oh, who is it?” Jane whispered.
“Jake’s Mom.” Nicole whispered.
Jane was surprised to hear.
“Ah, why were you called and how did you get my number?” Nicole asked.
“Well, I have my ways. I just want to talk to you, because I heard that you are close to Jake. I’m sorry to ask, but are you Jake’s girlfriend? Jake doesn’t tell me much about his secrets.” she says.
“Ah, no, we are just classmates in one of our subjects.” said Nicole.
“Ah, is that so. Well, can you help me find out who his girlfriend is and what he does every day?” she asked.
“Uhm, what do you mean?” Nicole asked.
“I want to know as his Mother, what he does every day. Don’t worry, I will give you money or things you want, just tell me what you want.” she said.
Nicole was surprised by what Jake’s Mom said and she held Jane by the arm while smiling, Jane wondered why it was so fun.
“Ah, really?” Nicole’s assurance.
“Yes, as long as you tell me what Jake is doing and busy, you can message me or call me anytime.” It says.
“Okay then. All right, I will report to you Jake’s every move and action.” Nicole said with a smile.
“All right Nicole, I hope so, bye.” she says.
“Okay, bye.”
After they talked, Nicole hung up the phone. Jane immediately wondered what Jake’s Mom had told her.
“Oh, what did your mother in law tell you?” Jane asked.
“Tssk! Whose mother in law?” Nicole scolded.
“So, what did she say?” Jane asked again.
“Well, she said I should say what Jake does and then she will give me money or things I want.” smiling Nicole said.
“Wow! That’s okay! But wait, are you sure about that? What if will Jake be angry with you for that?” Jane worried.
“He will never know that I am the one who tells his Mom what he does.” said Nicole while smiling.
“Well, I just wish Jake wouldn’t be mad at you.” said Jane.
“No, I will take care of that. By the way, how and when we review our lesson, we are not allowed to go out?” Nicole asked.
“Yes, maybe we just use those old notes for review.” Jane replied.
“Ah, okay.”
Then they went back to their dorms first. Just as she entered the room, her Mom called on her phone. She answered it immediately.
“Hello Mom.” Nicole replied.
“Hello Nicole, how are you and your studies there?” asked her Mom.
“It’s okay Mom, why were you called?”
“Your Dad wants to tell you that next Saturday you will meet the son of his acquaintance.” her Mom said.
“Okay Mom.” she gave a short answer.
“All right, I’ll just tell you where and when you will meet. All right, be careful there.” her Mom said.
“Okay.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
After they talked, Nicole hung up the phone, she just sighed at what her Mom said she would date again. She sat on the bed and just played with her cell phone.
Meanwhile, while Jake was playing basketball with his friends, they also talked about what happened at the school early this morning.
“Bro, have you heard about, the missing student?” Stevent asked them.
“Yes, of course it is much rumoured, so we now have no classes to investigate that missing student.” said Henry as he shot the ball.
“Is it true that the student lost?” Jake asked.
“Yes, the news might have taken her and raped her; the other news was that a strange creature had taken her last night.” Stevent’s story and they stopped playing first.
“Wait, what strange creature are you talking about?” Jake asked again.
“There is news that there is a ghost here in our school, many students are already experiencing and seeing it.” said Stevent.
“What ghost? Do you still believe in ghosts?” Henry asked.
“It’s up to you, if you do not want to believe! Until now, they still can’t see that female student who disappeared last night, it is said that a black shadow was seen on the cctv, chasing the student.” Stevent’s story continues.
“Wait, is that in the library building?” Jake asked.
“Yes, that’s where the woman started chasing, so the library is closed now, for investigation. Why, do you know anything?” Stevent asked Jake.
“Well, Nicole and Jane came from the library last night, after they finished, Nicole telling me that there was a ghost in the building.” said Jake.
“Oh, I told you, maybe that ghost is true.” said Stevent.
“Wait, how did you talk to Nicole and when did you become close? Eiyy, I guess you have something, you don’t tell us.” Henry teased.
“Tssk! I just called her last night, I just asked a question.” Jake lied.
“Huh, pretend! You still don’t want to admit it, you also like Nicole!” said Henry.
“Oh, bro, maybe Nicole and him are already into each other.” said Stevent.
Then they laughed, Jake was just shaken by their teasing while also laughing.
“Haist, come on, let’s play again!” Then Jake dribbled again.
They went on to play basketball again, when Jake was still confused why Tim wasn’t there.
“Why Tim isn’t here yet? Where is he?” Jake asked.
“I didn’t see him either, maybe he’s busy following Amy.” said Stevent.
“All right, let’s call him.”
Then Henry took the phone out of his bag pocket and called Tim.
“Hello.” Tim answered.
“Bro, where are you? We have been waiting for you here at the gym for a while.” Henry said.
“Oh, I will go ahead.” said Tim.
“Where are you?” Henry asked.
“I’m here with Amy, I just felt sorry for Amy, because she was crying. Her friend is missing.” said Tim.
“Is that so? All right, just stayed there, after all we are about to finish.” said Henry.
“Okay then.”
Henry then hung up the phone, and Jake and Stevent approached him.
“Oh what did Tim say? Where is he?” Stevent asked immediately.
“He seems to be with Amy, she seems to be crying, so he went with her first. He said, Amy is a friend of the missing student.” Henry’s story.
“Really?!” Stevent asked in shock.
“Yes, that’s what Tim said.” said Henry.
“Oh I’ll go ahead, let’s meet again tomorrow, I’ll be back in the dorm.” Jake said goodbye and passed the ball to Stevent.
“Okay bro.” said Stevent.
Jake then grabbed the bag and left first and walked to the dorm.
When he opened the door of the dorm he saw Nicole getting dressed. Nicole was surprised when the door suddenly opened and immediately covered her body.
“Can you knock, when you come in?” disgusted Nicole said to Jake.
“Tssk! Where are you going? It is forbidden to go out now!” Jake inquired and sat down and took off his shoes.
Nicole hurried to get dressed while Jake took off his shoes.
“We’ll eat outside with Jane, because it’s already noon!” said Nicole and then took her bag.
“Where are you going to eat?” Jake asked as he took off his shirt.
“We don’t know yet, maybe it’s just there at a nearby restaurant.” said Nicole.
“Ah okay, go ahead and be careful.” said Jake.
“Okay, thanks.”
Nicole then opened the door, looking around to see if anyone was in the hallway before exiting the door. When she was sure that no one was there, she left the room and walked quickly out of the building.
She saw Jane waiting in front of the building so she immediately approached her.
“Okay, let’s go!” smiling Nicole said to her then they both walked out the gate.
Meanwhile, Jake calls Echo and asks for something. Echo is one of Jake’s secret bodyguards, his Mommy sent him to monitor him. But they have an agreement that he will not interfere with what he does and he does not want it to be too close to watch. So he just secretly watches Jake.
“Hello Echo! I want you to follow Nicole, where she is going.” Jake orders.
“But I can’t leave you alone.” his answer.
Jake took a deep breath before speaking.
“Okay, just hire another guard for her; I don’t want to put her in danger.” Jake orders.
“Okay Master.” Echo replied.
“Make it two guards! Okay?” said Echo.
“Okay.”
Jake then hung up the phone and decided to go out too and eat lunch.
