Chapter 1 - ☘️ Romeo, It’s me.

"Good morning!"

A light breeze touch my black-brownish hair when I try to cheer up my shadow with a cliche smile and dumb greeting. Well, today I should be braver. Uhm..what should I do? Ughh..where did my smarty brain go this morning? Why do everything couldn't be remembered properly? Where is my bag again? Oh, there you are..my brain in a pack of books. Let's go to school smarty!

My school isn't too far from student dormitory. It took only 10 minutes by walk. I mean sloooww walk. And I always make it in a half of it. It'd be a self-achievement pride to be faster. Because I often come (almost) late every morning for classes, so the faster I walk the better. I have reasons for doing so. First, it's hard for me to wake up so early in the morning. Second, it's really hard to wake up in the morning. That's all. I'm not that kind of lazy yet dumb. I have some talent in language, health law, pharmacognosy, and pharmacology classes, but somehow I've never make it good in any of mathematics and chemistry fields. Oh! But this year I'll try something new. That is C-language class. Just an extra class, but it will help my grade a little. Uhm, it's just another language right? I think I'll pass it easily. Just think positively about a good treat awaiting for you, dear my limited brain.

My handsome C-language class lecturer. With a black-bluish wavy hair, black eyes, high nose, fair skin, thick eyebrow, thin pink lips, delicate body...wait, why do I sound like a pervert? Jeezz... I don't mean it. He is special to me. He is just too perfect for a man in his thirties. I know that this feeling is a little forbidden because I'm just turning 17 this year. But, love is indeed blind. I don't care that sort of thing. What makes me confident that our relationship will be real is he is now a single man and not married yet. He's just break up with his girlfriend, my senior. See? There is a hope. He even dated his student. I'm his student too. That is hope.

🦋 "Eva, are you crazy? He is an old man. What can you do to charm him?? Men at his age are considering a serious relationship. Marriage! How could you...? Just get another new crush,"

🐥 "It's fine. Age doesn't matter for love. I prefer older gentleman as boyfriend or spouse. Risa, you should fall in love too. See ya baby, I'm going to his class!"

One of my best friend at school, Marissa. She is always like that. Doesn't believe in this kind of love. She once said, 'A younger or man at the same age is the best for me. It's easy to start a conversation between us and make our dream come true together!'

Who is the unrealistic one? Mary is a dreamy girl. And I'm the realistic one. I prefer handsome old man for convenient life. Marissa really doesn't know how hard this world can be.

🐥"Good afternoon, Mr. Romeo. I'm Evangeline from Pharmacy faculty, I signed for your class today,"

🐧"Welcome to my class, Miss Evangeline. You can sit wherever you want,"

🐥 "Huh? But I don't see any chair...Sir?"

🐧"Yes."

🐥"Then..May I sit beside you?"

🐧"..... Sure."

🐥"This is my first attendance for C-Language class. I think I would need your assistance more..Please just say it if you don't feel comfortable about it, Sir."

🐧 "Not at all, please have a seat."

🐥"Thank you,"

🐥"...Uhm...Mr.Romeo?"

🐧"Yes?"

🐥"When will the class start? Why don't I see any student here? Am I too early?"

🐧"It should be started this time, but I rescheduled the class just this morning. So the other students would be here at 4. Perhaps you didn't get the notice I gave to the class president yet."

🐥"Oh, I see.."

🐧"If you want to go somewhere before class start, you can just go instead of waiting here,"

🐥"No, no! It's comfortable here. Uh, I mean it's good for me to know you more in advance. Uhm..I mean, I want to ask you about C-language more in advance!"

🐧"....."

🐥"....."

This is so awkward! Damn! Oh Romeo....Of course I know there's a rescheduled class notice and I'm trying to pretend not knowing about that. But oh Gosh, this is not easy. I need extra brain.

🐧"What do you want to ask?"

🐥"A few days ago, I tried installing new software in my laptop, but somehow it didn't go well and have some errors here and there. What's the meaning of this? Could you help me out?"

🐧"Let me see.."

Finally. Take some breath, Eva. You can do it.

🐧"Is it really your first time doing this kind of installation? This is quite smooth for beginner."

🐥"This is my first time work it out alone. But my aunt and uncle help me a lot back then when I was younger. I'm not sure if I did it right this time."

🐧"Oh, good for you. Done. Look at this, you need to delete this unnecessary command and replace it with this. It should be no more errors. If you find another error, feel free to ask me."

🐥"Wow! Great. Thank you Mr.Romeo. But I don't have your number...how do I ask you? Email?"

🐧"You can ask class president to get in the class group chat. I'm in that group too. You can ask your questions there."

🐥"Alright."

Mr. Romeo. I swear that's his real name! I should be named Juliet to be suitable with him, but my parents just give me a little special uncommon name. Maria Evangeline. Ehem. Whatever with my name. I just proud of that name recently because my crush name coincidentally as dull as mine and if we ever write our name side by side, It will make the empire age come to me and the painting of him and I as the emperor and the empress is just so tempting for me to imagine. Sweet. Romeo, oh Romeo, why are you so cold to me?

🐧"Alright, guys. That's all for our class today. If you have any difficulties, just ask me on group chat. Have a fun weekend."

It's not over yet, Romeo. Not for me. Let's have a wonderful weekend.

🐥"Wait, Mr.Romeo!"

🐧"Oh, it's you Miss Evangeline. What's the matter?"

🐥"Phuah! Oh, sorry. I'm not used to run. The matter is I need to attend your extra class on the weekend. I heard that you opened a course outside at M building. May I sign there?"

🐧"Sure. It happened that one seat left at my course."

🐥"Great! It's my luck. Thank you."

🐧"The course start on 9 to 11am. Don't be late."

🐥"Sure!"

Oh-ho. Got you. Not used to run my a**. I run everyday. I feel nervous everytime I talk to you, Romeo.
