Chapter 4 – Who's That (Part 2)

She grumbles before she found what she looking for and accidentally bumps into one of the students who is walking opposite her direction. "Oh, sorry!" She says still not looking at whoever she bumped into just now. The quiz is crucial but then she remembers saying sorry is much essential. It shows how knowledgeable you are and the morals that you have. Respect bruh respect.

"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future" - Paul Boese

'Better sorry than being remorseful since an overthinker like me cannot forget over some things easily' She thought and finally looks up turning her head instantly to his or her direction. She gasps at their propinquity therefore her eyes widen because of how tall and good-looking he is.

'Captivating. Subhanallah... never thought this kind of person exists in this world. Just... wow...' Meanwhile, he calls her and got no response. She trances not moving an inch until she recalls her purpose of going to the class today. 'Woo woo... that's not how you greet people Anne! Remember, you have a quiz later' She shakes her head and still did not hear him calling again.

"You?"

"Hi?"

'Wait... since when I'm friendly? I don't greet strangers or anonymous, remember? I will just smile to him an-' He cuts her off before she could carry on with her thoughts again.

"Hello? Girl? Hey! Um... are you okay? I called you earlier but you seem like... I don't know. Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" He says while looking at her like she is sort of sick and raises his left eyebrow as she did not respond to any of his questions yet.

"I... um... I'm good. Just... um, never mind" She replies with a modest smile on her face. People always thought she is an icy and cocky Chinese little bit*h because she has sharp squinty eyes and a cold expression.

"Sorry again... for bumping into you," She says while making an apologetic face before stepping away a bit before other students notice their closeness and make it viral. She will indisputably hate it very much.

"It's okay. My fault too... and..." He utters while looking at his watch slightly smirking. What's with the sudden smirk? He then intently look into her eyes. She sees it and gulps at his out of the blue daggers at her.

'Is he alright? What's wrong with my mug? Oh my-' He cuts off her thoughts once again.

"By the way, I have to go now. See you again..." He smiles and waves his hands begin walking leisurely. She nearly waves back yet he stops in his track next to her and slowly whispers some numbers in an audible voice in seconds.

"1 6154 176"

"Huh?"

'Aiyoo... what does he wants? I don't have much time, please' She swiftly snaps at him and tilts her head slightly with a questionable front.

"Oh, nothing," He answers while glancing at his surroundings but her. She frowns. She is taken aback at what he says after and obstructs what she feels inside showing no emotions in case he wants to tease her if they meet again later or in the future. Deep in her heart, she felt distressed and anguished by the way he said it like sardonic her for whatever reason he had.

"Anne... the coward and vulnerable kid"

"Wha- what?" She flinches with her mouth agape a little. She is unfortified and nearly crying but at the same time forcing herself to control it before he looks at her one more time. It does work someway for some people albeit she is almost unable to control her sentimental. He steps back and begins walking away. Feeling relief as she tried so hard not to cry. That sobriquet man recalled her forgotten past and she remains dumbstruck cannot process what just happened.

"How come..."

"He..."

"Who..."

The shaken and quivers are apparent after he left. Her brain cannot hold it anymore and the tears ultimately roll. She wipes the tears, stifles and takes a deep breath before getting into the class. She keeps up memorizing what she had read earlier and pretended as if nothing happened. Four hours pass and thank Allah, her mind still functioning. She settles into a cafeteria's dining table and read some notes to kill the time as well as tries her best to understand the flow of business and finance while waiting for Farah and Raja. 'Oh... I get it now' She thought.

After 9 minutes of waiting, Raja and Farah yoo-hooing at her. Being a studious girl as she is, she did not even realise her best friends already standing beside her. "Woi!" Both of them yell in unison then look at each other's faces as well as giggle like it is funny. She heard them calling and slows down putting the notes in her bag. She then stares at them with a bored expression.

"Huh? What's so funny?" She rolls her eyes in exasperation and still does not move from her spot. The other two stop giggling and looked at each other mug as she acts volatile. They feel apprehensive about it. She immediately changes her expression before they discern that there is something wrong with her. Or are they?

'I'm not supposed to show it. D*mmit!' She shows a fake smile instead and stands in between telling them to put their bag to buy lunch yet they start attacking her with queries nonetheless.

"You good?"

"What's wrong, Anne?"

"Who made you this furious?

"Weh, wanna tell us?"

'It's not important... for now' She thinks while trying to change the topic.

"Nah! It's just... I'm stressed about the Arabic quiz. I don't know if I could get full marks. You know I love Arabic" She lies and assures them that nothing happened. Just academic things and stressed out. Good liar as always. She then slowly walks forward and calls them.
