Chapter 23 What a coincidence
Chapter 23 What a coincidence
It was a lovely morning.
Alan overslept because he had been overtired these two days. When he got up, Carol had left for
school, and he set off in a hurry. At the school gate, he met Michelle by coincidence.
Unexpectedly, Michelle took the initiative to greet Alan with a smile. They then went to the office
together. All the people in the office were staring at them when they came in. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone thought, “Oh my Lord, the rumor is, in fact, true!” Teresa looked at Alan and Michelle,
pretending to sob.
“Why are you looking at us like that?” said Michelle. She was confused by her colleagues’ faces. Even
Judy, behind a shield of cold indifference, with her chin in her hand, squinted at them curiously.
Alan stared at Teresa’s crying face and asked, “Teresa, who bullied you? Let me help you!” Alan was
not keen on her, but they were still close friends. Moreover, it was well-known in the whole school that
Teresa, the cute girl, kept on chasing him.
“Hum! I just don't trust you anymore. You two fall in love but managed to hide it from us.” Teresa looked
at them sadly with a pretentious pout.
Alan and Michelle kept looking at each other. They still felt a total mess in their mind, “Wait! Who on
earth told you that?” They said in unison.
Irene was having a class soon, so she stood up and headed toward the office door. When she passed
by Alan, she said, “Everybody of the village knows you two went to the peach orchard last night. That
place is exactly home to street women and lonely guys. And you two arrived together this morning.”
Looking at Michelle, Irene suppressed a smile and left the office. Alan was stunned. He looked at the
back of Irene, whose butt wiggled while walking. It reminded him of that day again! He could not help to
think about her private part he peeped the other day. But now was not the time to think about that.
“Damn Marcus! I told him not to say it!” Michelle didn’t continue, but everyone took it for granted that
she got fucked by Alan.
“You two actually went there?” Teresa cried louder. She hoped this was not true, but Michelle had
confessed just now.
At that moment Alan understood that the small-village gossip spread more quickly than Twitter. But it
wouldn’t impose neglect effect on him as he was a man. Instead, everyone agreed that it was a great
honor to make love with the most beautiful girl. But Michelle was still a virgin. She felt extremely
embarrassed.
Suddenly, Alan put his hands around Michelle’s slender waist, “Yes, we are in love. Michelle’s my
girlfriend,” said Alan, laughing delightedly. Michelle was shocked to hear that and gazed at Alan, who
looked like an innocent lamb.
Michelle tried to explain but gave up, for it didn’t work when everybody misunderstood. If she denied,
people would guess she was fucked but got nothing. After much deliberation, Michelle didn’t deny but
to took it as an act.
“Congratulations! You two are the first couple in our school. I will make room for you later where you
two can rest at noon. Never go to the peach orchard again,” Thomas said happily as if he had fallen in
love.
“Mr. Smith, we don't need a room,” said Michelle, greatly abashed. But Alan was so happy to have a
room. Michelle generally had lunches and naps at home. Then he owned the room completely.
It would be convenient for him to invite girls, village women or female teachers to his room. He couldn’t
have sex with other girls in Karen’s home or outside every time, so a room was what he wanted.
“Why don’t you need it? Young people desire for sex. It is normal. I want it too when I was young. I
understand that,” said Thomas.
“Desire for sex?” Michelle thought with a bitter smile. She was gonna lose her reputation forever all
because of Alan. She stared at him. If he hadn't asked her to meet in the peach orchard, she wouldn't
have been misunderstood.
Seeing a reproachful look in Michelle's eyes, Alan spread out his hands as if he were showing that he
was a victim, too. Michelle pinched him in anger and he immediately began to scream with pain.
Just then, the class bell rang.
Alan went to class with joy in his heart because love was coming to him. Though Michelle hadn’t be
really in love with him, he believed all along that he would have sex with Michelle someday, and in the
name of her boyfriend, Alan could take liberties with Michelle or told off color jokes to her.
Alan was quite satisfied with the result.
When he walked into the classroom, he found dozens of pairs of curious eyes staring at him.
‘Golly, everyone knows about it now? It is true, the small-village gossip spread more quickly than
Twitter,’ Alan thought.
He glanced around the classroom, finally his eyes settled on Sue, whom he fucked the night before.
Sue met his eyes and blushed with embarrassment. Then Alan remembered the sexual intercourse
with her and her moaning and panting at the height of passion.
Alan turned his eyes at Carol. She kept a straight face, filled with sad. No one knew how sad she was
when hearing the rumor. She was in no mood for class, trying to choke back her tears.
He was supposed to explain to Carol, but he abandoned it. To earn a girl’s love, the best way was to
play hard to get. So he decided to let Carol cry for a while, and then told her the truth.
Thomas brought Alan to a room at noon.
The school, with only a teaching building and a canteen, was located in the back of the mountain. It
was a very desolate area. The teaching building had two stories and the canteen was very old.
Around the canteen was a dilapidated old house not far away. At the back of the house, there was a
small door and a very narrow ladder. They climbed up the ladder.
“There were lots of teachers living here before but most of them have left for a better place, and now
the rooms are empty,” Thomas said with a sigh.
Alan was surprised at the room. The room was not big enough, but it was tidy. The room had a wooden
floor, and the quilt was neatly laid on the bed. There was a desk, a table lamp and books in the room.
The window faced the hill and gave a very broad view. Alan was very pleased with the room. Quiet and
private, he would not have to worry about others snooping around.
This was the perfect environment for adultery. He planned to fuck Sue in the room first after school.
Alan was exciting to think about it.
“Here is the key. It is the only one and don't lose it,” Thomas handed over the key and continued,
“Buddy, you are really something. How did you get Michelle? She is so proud.” Thomas left with his
thumb up.
Alan lay on the bed and looked around. It was quiet, but at the same time it was desolate. Each corner
reminded him of horror stories, which happened in old houses. A wave of fear swept him over.
Suddenly, just then, there was a knock at the door, making Alan jump up. Thomas had left and no one
else knew about the room. So, who could it be?
"Hello? Who's there?" said Alan, but no one answered.
Alan was afraid and screwed up his courage to answer the door.
