"Ah-Ha! We'll see about it...!" she said enthusiastically. Wasn't she out of breath a few moments ago? Was she just acting it up is quick in regaining her composure? I can't know the truth, at least for now or I don't have interest in knowing that.
"But first tell me something," I said. I still have my share of doubts.
"What is it?" she asked me as she was trying to match up to my pace. But this situation is really out of the place. Not long before I had a few arguments with her but now we are talking normally as if nothing has happened between us.
"Are you hiding something?" I directly chased down to the point. I don't want to waste any more time talking about unnecessary things. I have done that more than enough.
What my doubt is that if I were to go to her for help that would entirely be a different matter but that didn't happen, instead she came to me. She could have also used that one 'something' to divert me from the real story. It's just a theory, if it turns out to be false that's nice but if it's the opposite then there is something coming. Just because she showing goodwill doesn't entirely mean that she is doing it just to help me out, she could also be having some kind of different motive. It's always a certainty.
"What do you mean...?" she looked confused.
"Like are you planning to gain my trust and then use that trust to do something else?" I asked as I slowed down my pace a little. I didn't look at her and just stared at the sky waiting for her reply.
"... No. I won't do something like that," she said. Should I trust her not? It's going to be difficult.
"I guess I was just thinking too much," I said, "Sorry for suspecting you."
I apologized to her.
"No, no. It's okay, it's natural to think like that and even more, if the person is in the situation like you." she didn't accept my apology.
I will trust her for the time being but I am still not convinced. At any point, if I get to know what she is really up to then she has something else coming. Well, that was something that can be taken care n the future, as of now I need to think about how would I get out of this ridiculous situation?
The most easiest way is to do something that will increase my evaluation, but the problem is how? Do I need to achieve something in academics or in sports? Either way, I haven't really thought of that yet.
"So, now that both of us have agreed why don't you tell me your plan?" I asked Iris.
"Straight to the point? Well, I guess I can tell you the plan since you have agreed to take my help but why don't we sit somewhere? I prefer to sit and then talk about something important." what's with that reasoning? Not that I have any other choice, so compiled to her.
"Where do you want to go? Also don't think of somewhere far, I need to go home too." I said.
"You are making it sound like I don't want to go home," she said.
"My parents will get worried if I don't get home before a certain time. Yours won't be that much since you already have someone watching over you. It's a bit different for me," I said. After the Police incident, folks at the house really get worried even if it's the smallest thing.
"What do you mean...?" huh? She doesn't have any idea?
"Tell me a car number you know at your house?" I need to confirm this, if it was something else then I need to escape from here soon.
"Why all of sudden?"
"Just tell me," I pressured her a little and she gave in immediately.
"XXX-XX-76," she said.
"I see that's how is it," I said, "I think you should talk to your father about the bodyguard thing."
"Bodyguard? Earlier you said something, what are you saying?" she doesn't get it. Well, I didn't tell her much so it's natural she won't understand it either.
"You usually came to school with a black car, right? Where is it now?" I asked her. We are considerably far away from the school yet the black car has been following for quite some time and above all, it was the same car that Iris come to school and it even had the same car number on it. After adding up all the dots, the only conclusion I came to is that there is someone looking after Iris. Since she is the daughter of the chairman it is expected to have someone as your bodyguard.
"I don't you. I told him to go back I will call him later," she said.
"Is that so? Then I guess it's okay. Anyway, change of subject. Where are we going?" I don't want to waste my time telling her that she is being protected.
"Wh-" before she could drag on the matter I interrupted her and put a stop in her tracks.
"We can stop by the central park, it's nearby and it won't take much time to reach there. Also at this time, it would mostly be some kindergarten student's so no one will disturb us there." I proposed an idea.
"Don't try to change the subject all of a sudden...!" she exclaimed. I guess she isn't that stupid as I thought.
"I am not changing the topic, I am just saying that we should go to the Central Park since we don't have much time to waste, right?" I said in order to convince her.
"... Fine..." and it is done. It was quite easy to convince her.
...
The Central Park is about 150 meters away from my present location and my house is only at most 50 meters away so even if I were to take a little longer I won't have any trouble reaching home. Since the Central Park is considered quite big as compared to the other city parks it looks much better than any average park around the city.
Before we could even enter the park, you could notice the beautiful trees. The crumbles of yellow and red leaves under my feet and make the slight sound of something crushing. I don't know why but it gives a certain satisfaction while doing it.
Let me describe the Central Park.
When the flowers bloom and how it's the most spectacular sight you could ever imagine seeing, all the different colors that appear. When you breathe in and you get this smell of purity, you feel free and alive. Since I like to have some quiet space for me sometimes I like to sit on the old wooden bench where the bench frame is a little rusted, and I get rid of my thoughts and my eyes search the night sky. The sight would be fantastic, because of the trees around the region the pollution is comparatively reduced and the sky would be clear.
When the wind blows, it grazes over the blades of grass. Some days I just stand and take a deep breath in and I can taste the spring. During the day the sky is the bluest view insight.
Whenever I want to relax I used to come here but I don't remember when exactly but I haven't gone to the Central Park, I wonder why? At night I would come here to take a stroll.
Above all, since it is comparatively quite big so it never gets crowded but during at night, except that time it's almost full. Also, I specifically chose the time when the number of people will be least.
"Catch me if you can!"
"I am going to catch you!"
"Don't run away, stop...!"
As we both entered the park I noticed a group of children playing just near the bushes. Good for them, playing freely not having anything to worry about.
"Aren't we here early?"
"Idiot! We are late, and above all thirty-minute late." I also notice a couple of people gathering around at the center. I guess they are having a small gathering around here somewhere.
I didn't mention it earlier, but it's busiest in the evening. The gentle air coming through the spaces between the trees makes it the ideal location to unwind after a hard day. And one of those persons must be a member of that group. No can help, if it were to me I would also choose this idea location but in the end, it's an ideal location.
Not one group, not two groups but more than five or six groups come here so the crowd keep on increasing and making it the worst location if you came here alone. And I am one of those people who come here alone.
"Allen where are we going to sit? Also isn't this place a little bit... too much people..." she said as she shook her head here and there nervously.
"Calm down a little. You're so anxious that your vocabulary has suffered as a result," it was quite amusing seeing an all-mighty girl in school isn't half of that in public.
