Love Note 4 : Fate?

This is the continuation of episode 3 of Love Note. I hope that you will enjoy this.

Previously in Episode 2 of Love Note, Avalon found Jade by the fountain after searching for her for a long time. He overheard Jade pouring out her soul to herself. He also found out that Jade likes him. What a find! However, as he was about to leave the place, he accidentally stepped on a twig and it cracked. Jade heard the sound , so she turned to look. Avalon realised the situation, so he bent down immediately. He doesn't want Jade to know about his presence. Jade was curious of the sound so she approached the shrubs. Upon hearing the approaching footsteps, Avalon sneaked away from a route to enter the maze garden. He ran as quickly as he could to avoid leaving any trace of him there. Jade who went to the shrubs saw no one but found a broken twig on the ground. She wondered how could a twig break on itself.

Avalon was already in the school's maze garden trying to escape from being found out by Jade. He took his time to walk out of the maze because he needed some time to think about what he had heard. He was contemplating whether he should tell her about what he heard. After putting much thought in it, he decided to keep it a secret first because he needs to confirm it. The bell rang marking the end of recess when all students returned to their respective classes. Avalon was already seated in class when he saw Jade enter. Chris immediately grabbed Jade and pulled her to his seat. He said "What's the matter, Jade ? You look unwell. Are you sick ?" Simon reached out for Jade's forehead and touched it. He said "Well, you do not have fever but why is your complexion so red?" Jade kept quiet when Chris and Simon were talking to her. All she did was just smile. Then, Mrs Karen entered the class.

"Alright class. Let's start with today's lesson. Turn to page 5, chapter 1. We will be studying about Radio Astronomy. As you can see in the text, Radio Astronomy is the study on radiation of wavelengths that is greater than one millimeter. If you read on, you will understand more about this chapter. Can Jade please read the text for me?" said Mrs Karen. Jade stood up and read aloud the text. Then, Mrs Karen said "I hope all of you understand a little more about radio Astronomy. Now, I will explain your first assignment. I want all of you to complete this assignment in groups of 3. I will put up your groups after class. The assignment is to create a radio telescope that is actually usable. You can use any material to make it but you have to stay within budget. The due date is 2 weeks from now. You can complete your project during the days we are in class but Thursdays and Fridays are an exception. I hope that is clear enough."

With all her heart, Jade does not want to be in the same group as Avalon after what just happened in the Student Council Room. Mrs Karen explained the ways to make a radio telescope that will function, so everyone listened attentively. When class ended, Mrs Karen pasted a piece of paper on the notice board. Everyone rushed to check for their group members. Jade could not see a thing because the boys were quite tall. As for Avalon, he just remained in his seat with no intention of finding out his group members. Then, Daniel approached him and stretched out his hand for a handshake. "Let's work together, Avalon. Do guide me in many ways," said Daniel. Avalon smiled and accepted the handshake when he replied "We will make a great team. By the way, who is the other member ?" Daniel smiled at Avalon and said "Guess it yourself. It is very easy."

The first person who came to Avalon's mind was Jade because she was the only girl in class. He said "Don't tell me it is Jade?" Daniel nodded his head in agreement with Avalon. It was what he had feared because he did not want to be in the same team as Jade. This was because he needed time to calm himself and think about Jade's feelings for him. He can't speak to anyone about it because it is a secret. What bad luck it was for him. Daniel said "Don't feel so down. I don't really want to team up with her either. She still has a bad impression of me. This is going to be awkward." Then, Jade approached them and said "I believe we are in the same team. Let's bury the hatchet and cooperate well as a team. Okay ?" They had no choice but to accept her into the team.

Jade, Avalon and Daniel became a team for their first assignment of the year. Avalon said "Well, the project this time is to create a radio telescope. Any ideas on how to make one that works?" Daniel said "I have seen radio telescopes in New Mexico before but I think it is going to be quite a challenge to recreate one that is that big in size." Jade asked "Must the telescope function just like the real one ?" Daniel replied "That's the problem. It is going to be quite difficult to make it." Avalon said "I have an idea. However, I need to discuss it with Mrs Karen first. I'll be right back." Thus, Avalon left for the staff room. Daniel looked at Jade and realised that something was wrong. He asked "Jade, are you alright? You seem distracted or something." Jade just nodded her head. After waiting for quite a while, an announcement was made ; "Attention to Daniel Maxime and Jade Stewart, please present yourself to the Principal's office now."
Why were they called to the Principal's office ? Did they do something wrong ? What could it be ? Wait for the next episode to find out. Stay tuned !
