PICTURE  OF ANDREW (Model Diesel)

***********

Chapter 4

George totally made himself invisible immediately after that. Leo got a feeling George purposely trying to avoid him. Leo could feel that George knows who the girl was but he’s hiding something. He wonder what was it the George trying to hide.

Leo went to his room and immediately Googled into Nikita’s Facebook. Good thing she didn’t put it under private. Leo saw a few photos of hers and her friends. Looking at her photos, Leo’s confident that Nikita wasn’t his mysterious girl because her hair was brunet. She’s beautiful alright but he’s not his girl. He looked at all her photos there with intentions of looking for a similar face or hair color or facial features of his mysterious girl.

“Hmm, she looks similar,” he said out loud at one picture of Nikita smiling with a girl. “Hmm?” thinking a way of confirming that the girl. He took a piece of paper and covered the top part of her face. “It does look like her,” he sighed. Then he saw another photo of Nikita with a different girl with a similar hair color and tried again.

“Shit,” he cursed, frustrated with his finding because he still unsure whether that’s the girl he’s been looking for.

He immediately closed his laptop when he heard a knock on the door; “Leo?” called his mother poking her head inside his room.

“Yes mother,” he answered turning his chair facing her.

“I know you don’t have any plan for tonight,” she started as she walked into his room, “I have confirmed with Lindsay that you will accompany her tonight to the Charity Fashion Dinner,” she informed him with a wide grin on her face.

“What?” whined Leo, “Mother, why did you do that?”

“I thought you like her,” replied his mother, “You two were very close last night, She was at your side the almost the whole night.”

“She’s the one who glued herself to me,” he explained, “I don’t even like her.”

“Why?” asked his mother, “She’s such a nice girl and beautiful too,” she compliment.

“Huh! Beautiful?” he smirked, “She not in my eyes,” but says those words in a soft voice more saying it to himself.

His mother didn’t hear him but she could see that he didn’t like Lindsay, “Give her a chance, Honey. Who knows once you really get to know her you’ll like her?” she suggested and she could see Leo’s long and unhappy face. “Anyway, I have already told her that you are happy to accompany her tonight,” she reminded him.

“Do I have to?” he whined again.

“Yes, just for tonight. It’s not nice to back up on our words,” she soothed him smiling sweetly at him.

Leo sighed. “Alright,” he nodded.

“Good boy, “she smile kissing him on the cheek and walked out.

Leo let out a disappointed sigh that he could never say no to his mother and thinking about his night with Lindsay. He could see how miserable and boring tonight would be.

He opened up his laptop which still on Nikita’s Facebook. He stared at her pictures’ gallery again and started to wonder about the girl. How is he going to find her? They all look almost the same in the photo. Leo is very sure that George knew about the girl but he definitely would deny it and Leo couldn’t understand why. He started thinking of a way to know who the girl is. Finally he made up his mind. Maybe his friend, Andrew should know about the girl. Andrew went to the school here. He definitely knows who Nikita Edward and her friends are.

Finding his solutions, he immediately called Andrew on the phone. After the fifth rings Andrew finally answered his phone, with a hoarse voice. The guy just woke up.

“Hey dude,” greeted Leo, “Did I wake you up?”

“Yeah,” he lazily replied, “I’m having a very sweet and pleasant dream, man,” he playfully scolded Leo.

Leo chuckled, “Sorry, dude but the sun is already up on your head. It’s afternoon already. Wake up, wake up,” he yelled through the phone making Andrew cursed ad him.

“Urgh! I’m fully awake now, thanks to you,” he moaned.

Leo laughed, “Dude, are you free today?” he asked.

“During the day, yes,” Andrew told him, “But tonight I have to accompany Gina to a boring Charity Fashion Dinner.”

“Hah,” laughed Leo, “Me too. Mother made me go with boring Lindsay,” he told her.

“Aw Lindsay, the girl that glued herself to you?” from Andrew’s voice Leo could imagined him grimace.

“Yep,” scorned Leo and stressing on his words to show how disgusting he felt.

This time Andrew laughed at him, “Ha, ha. A very good luck to you my friend,” he teased.

“Thanks, you a real friend,” Leo scoffed, “I really need that.”

“So, why do you call dude?” asked Andrew in a serious tone, “You want to go somewhere?”

“Yes I bored and I thought we could just enjoy ourselves during the day since we will die to bored tonight,” he joked.

“Yeah, sure, I like that I idea,” laughed Andrew. “Pick me up in 15 minutes time,” he said.

“Ok,” agreed Leo, “but before you put down the phone there’s something I need to asked you?” he said.

“Shoot,” Andrew said on the other line.

“Do you know who Nikita Edward is?” Leo asked.

“Nikita Edward?” asked Andrew and Leo nodded his head as if Andrew could see him. “Yeah,” admitted Andrew, “We went to the same school. Why?”

“Really? So you know who her friends are?” Leo asked again.

“Most of them yeah,” admitted Andrew, “Why?”

“Well, she came to my party last night with a friend,” explained Leo, “Do you know who?”

“Oh, I saw her but I didn’t see her friend,” Andrew told him.

“So you don’t know who she came in with?” asked Leo with a frustrated voice. ‘Any idea she might come with whom?”

“No, but maybe she came in with…” answered Andrew and there was a pause as if he’s thinking, “Nay, it couldn’t be. I don’t think she ever comes,” he finally said.

“Who?” Leo eagerly asked.

“Her best friend, Luna,” he told Leo.

“Why not?” Leo queried.

“Because Luna would never come to a party if she is not invited especially from someone a rich as you,” said Andrew. 

“Oh really?” chuckled Leo.

“Yep,” confirmed Andrew. “Why are you asking all this questions?”

“Nothing, I’m just wondering that all,” Leo said to him. He didn’t want Andrew to know what happened between him and the mystery girl. Andrew might laugh at him.

“Ah, I know,” laughed Andrew at the other end, “You attracted with the girl, huh?”

“Noooo,” Leo denied slowly.

“Hah, you don’t have to deny my friend,” Andrew laughed again, “If you really are interest to find who the girl is, I’ll help you.”

“Really?” respond Leo almost immediately, excited that his friend offered his help.

Andrew laughed, “Yes my friend. You can count on me. I want to know who the girl you interested in.”

“Thanks dude, appreciated it,” Leo laughed with him,

“No problem,” informed Andrew, “I’ll call Niki and asked her about it. We’re good friends and hopefully she will tell me.”

“What if she doesn’t want to tell?” asked Leo.

“If she doesn’t want to tell, we could look up into my school year book photos and match with the girl face,” he suggested. “By the way did you see her face?”

“No, she wore a mask,” Leo told him, “But what I know the color of her hair was chestnut or maybe dark blond, slender body which I think around 5’ 6” or 7,” described Leo. He wanted to add more, like she has beautiful eyes and sweet kissable lips but managed to control himself.

“Chestnut hair?” Andrew queered, “Luna has chestnut hair and so does other girls in our school, but don’t worry, we'll find her. I’m very sure we will,” said Andrew confidently.

“Hmm, with your help I’m sure we will,” chuckled Leo. “Ok, my dude, I’ll see you later in 15 minutes time.”

“Yeah, I’ll be ready by then,” Andrew said and off the phone.

Fifteen minutes later Leo was already in front of Andrew’s house.

“Hey dude,” greeted Andrew as he entered Leo’s car. “I have some news for you.”

“What?” Leo eagerly asked.

“I’ve tried to call Nikita but she’s was too busy to answer her phone. I found out that she’s was busy with the rehearsal for tonight’s event,” he told Leo, “She and her friend Luna are one of the models for tonight’s fashion show. Maybe we could meet them there and see whether the Luna is the one you’re talking about?

“Really? Wow, that’s great,” Leo excited replied. “Thanks man.” He grinned at Andrew happy with the news. Let’s hope tonight he will find her, Leo thought to himself and drove away to their destinations.
