CHAPTER 3: This What You Call L.O.V.E, Love

It's been a week since school started… Ember was sitting under the tree thinking... She was thinking about the voice of Lan. She knew ...  she heard it somewhere, but where.

Thinking about it she remembers ‘him’. ‘Him again... I really miss him’ Ember thought to herself. “I Want to see him, I don't want to see him. He hurt me more than my family hurt me in the past. At least it’s not really my parents… and my parents have a reason, while ‘HIM’ he just left without saying goodbye… or at least before he left he could tell me the reason and when he was going back… he promised me…” Ember said to herself as she was alone.

It’s not only about him why Ember is alone; she was also thinking about Bleu, he was giving her chocolate and flowers since the next day he transferred to the school.

"Ember what are you doing" Luna saw Ember sitting in the grass under the tree.  "Nothing... just thinking of something" Ember replied to Luna.

"We've been looking for you," Luna said while out-breath "I know what you are thinking Ember!" she added while smirking at Ember.

Ember was confused "What?" she asked. Ember knew Luna did not know who she was thinking of and that is ‘him’...

"Bleu!" she answered Ember while smiling. ‘She was kind of right I did think of Bleu… but I was more thinking of 'HIM’ Ember thought.

"This what you call L.O.V.E, love Ember" Luna added sounded so excited. "Love I don't think so, we are just friends Luna" Ember flatly denied.

"I think he is courting you..." Luna said she loves talking about relationships.

Ember doesn't really understand Luna, she was always so excited when talking about LOVE but Ember does not really get it.

When she starts to talk about that topic Ember does is listen. When she asks Ember about it, Ember always changes the topic she doesn't want to talk about.

"Should we go, the break time is almost over" Luna said and I agreed.

...

They were almost in the classroom when their teacher Eve called them. Eve asked Ember and Luna to get some things in the faculty, it is needed for the discussion for today...

When they got to the room, they both put the things on the desk of the teacher. After that, they immediately went to their seat because the teacher was already in the classroom... Ember sat down on her seat and she saw Bleu looking at her.

"Where have you been, we look everywhere," Bleu said, sounding worried.

"I was lying in the grass under the tree in the garden," Ember said. ‘He looks so worried’ Ember thought. "Ohhh!" he responded.

Ember did not go with them this break, she just wants to be alone and think of some stuff.

The teacher started her lesson...

Ember could not concentrate, she remembered Aunt Lafrancois, she was the mother of Bleu and Blaize, she wanted to talk to Ember before they went to France.

Ember was too busy when she called, and one week after.... they went to France until then Ember didn’t hear news about them and then Ember already changed her phone number.

Ember was looking at the window wondering what Aunt Lafrancois wanted to say...

"Miss Lawson... Miss LAWSON!!!” Teacher Eve called Ember, Eve noticed that Ember is not paying attention to the discussion.

"Yes ma'am," Ember said, she immediately stood because of shock. "Read the next sentence..." teacher Eve said. Ember, don't know what page or sentence it is.

"page 21, 12th sentence" Lan whispered. "Thank you!" I whispered to Lan. Ember read it and the teacher let her sit down.

After teacher Eve finished her lesson she told the students that the next teacher is absent and they should do a self-study...

...

When the teacher left Blue looked at Ember  "Do you like the chocolate I gave you?" he asked me.

"Yeah! I love sweets and you know it" Ember replied to him.

"KRRINNNGGG KKKRRRINNNGGG..." a phone suddenly rings, it was Cain's phone. Ember notices that Lan is not inside the room.

"I need to get outside Zeze wait..." Cain said while talking on the phone.

Ember was shocked that she wants to follow Cain. She knows that Zeze is Blaize, the brother of Bleu.

Ember looked at Bleu “Is your brother came back with?” she asked, she was curious. Bleu looked at her, he knew that her brother and she had been friends for a long time but this was the first time Ember asked him about his brother, it's been a week since they transferred.

“My brother is still in France, he was busy learning to handle the business of our Grandpa,” Bleu said, his face was sad.

“Business of your Grandpa?” Ember asked, she was confused.

Ember knows that Blue’s and Blaize’s Grandpa had his own corporation, but she was confused why Blaize needs to learn how to handle his Grandpa’s business.

“Didn’t our mom tell you… Our Grandpa died last year and before he died, he wanted to see my brother that is why, brother Blaize was forced to leave earlier than us” Bleu explained, Bleu thought that Ember knew.

Ember was shocked to hear what Bleu said, she didn’t know.

...

Meanwhile, Cain was talking to the phone… “Zeze, why did you call?” Cain said while smiling, he really liked Zeze.

“Nothing in particular… and don’t call me Zeze!” Blaize said with a mad tone.

“Zeze is a cute nickname you know!” Cain depended, he was still smiling “When are you coming here?” Cain asked, he can’t wait to see Blaize's reaction when he learns that his dear brother is courting his girl.

“I left France earlier than you and Bleu… I think I am there from the very start… I thought you had keen eyes!” Blaize said, he immediately ended the call.

Cain was dumbfounded when he heard that Blaize is in the country or you could say already enrolled in the school...
