Joanna was about to respond but the clanging of high heels coming from inside the building interrupted their conversation.
Audrey's worried stares turned murderous at an instant when she saw the one coming out of the building.
With head and shoulders held high Doris walked past them. Even though she had any grievances with her friends not being around she dared not utter a word to them.
Audrey diverted her attention back to Joanna after Doris was gone.
"What is he gonna do…,"
"I don't know what happened. Before I got there Mr Aidan had already finished addressing the issue. He wasn't there" Joanna said, not able to hide her anxiety.
"Mr Aidan was done addressing the issue so quickly?" Audrey muttered in astonishment as she released Joanna's hand.
"That's so weird because Mr Aidan I and everyone on campus knew would have taken at least an hour addressing the issue…," Audrey trailed as she lifted her gaze and stared at where Mr Aidan's office was located on the second floor.
"I can still recall the day I almost got into a huge fight with the mean girls before you returned. He talked for close to forty minutes…,"
"I also know exactly how he is and that is why I am so worried that he concluded the matter so quickly. I want to look for him so that I can know Mr Aidan's judgment," Joanna said as she tried to hurry away.
Audrey reached out her hand and held Joanna's right hand.

"Let's go," Joanna said as she turned and led the way.
Even though Joanna's sense of smell wasn't active at the moment with Audrey by her side it wasn't that hard to find Amos.

The white notification box popped up after Joanna started scrutinising the crowded field for Amos.
The system started scanning the faces of the students. Even those who were not within eyes reach were scanned.
"Isn't that him?" Joanna heard Audrey shout.
Joanna turned and looked in the direction Audrey's finger was pointing at.

The message appeared on the transparent white screen after it finished scanning Amos and the lady standing beside him.
"But who is that lady holding his hands?" Came Audrey's question when she got a glimpse of the lady who was staring into Amos' eyes intently.
"It's her again!" Joanna clasped her fist without even realising it the instant she saw Amelia who was shamelessly looking into Amos' eyes even though there were so many people around.
Audrey averted her attention to the lady standing beside her when she heard the killing intent in her voice.
"Is she the lady whom he has been giving all his attention to lately?" Audrey asked despite having already guessed the answer from Joanna's murderous glares.
She was making it so obvious that she hates the beautiful young lady so how could she not know?
"I hate her so much…,"
"Even though you didn't say it I know you do because it shows all over you," Audrey cut in.
"You…,"
"I know you can't hear what they are saying so how about we move closer so you can hear it too? I mean it is no fun since I am the only one hearing their sweet conversation," Audrey said smiling.
She held Joanna's hand and pulled her along before she had the chance to say no.
Joanna and Audrey moved closer until they were within the range she was certain Joanna could hear their conversation.
"I like you very much, Amos. In fact, I fell in love with you from the moment I set my eyes on you…," Amelia who was holding Amos' hands said while looking into his eyeballs.
Joanna bit her lower lips as she stared at the two people who looked so engrossed with what they were doing.
For some reason, she could feel her chest tighten. Her right hand clutched the hold of her white dress seeing that Amos wasn't looking away nor did he make an attempt to reject Amelia.

"She is such a flirt…,"
"I know but I must admit that she is very beautiful just like you…,"
"Don't you dare compare her to me because she is nothing like me," Joanna snapped, taking Audrey by shock with her reaction?
Because of how loud Joanna spoke, she garnered the attention of those going about their own things on the field.
Amelia and Amos also turned to look at them.
"Anna, he is looking at us now. Won't you go and ask him what happened," Audrey asked as she tried not to make it obvious to Amos that she was looking at them.
"He now has someone else, it's so clear that I am no longer needed," Joanna said. She raised her gaze and shot Amos and Amelia a murderous glare. She turned and walked away instantly.
"Joan!" Amos called but she pretended as though she didn't hear.
"Continue with what you were doing, I will take my leave now," Audrey said with a fake smile. She spun and ran after her angry best friend.
"Joan…," Amos as she tried to chase Joanna but Amelia grabbed his hand.
He turned and shot the lady by his side with murderous glares when she wouldn't let go.
"Let go now," he ordered sternly. He tried to walk away the second time but Amelia refused to let go.
"I told you she would get mad if she saw us like this as you can see what I was afraid of has occurred…,"
"And why do you think she is angry huh?" Amelia said. She let go of Amos' hand but she moved to stand in front of him for fear that he might run after Joanna.
"I mean you said she is not in love with you right so have you asked yourself why she is mad because I confessed my feelings to you?" Amelia questioned not avoiding his eyes.
