"Zavien" I called him.
Our class ended a while ago. Zavien doesn't converse with us until now! I'm really curious about what arose to him. We're now here at the library, studying because we will have an exam later. Many students are still glimpsing at him.
He turned his gaze on me "hmm?" he asked. I sat down at the empty chair beside him. "Why?" he asked innocently.
"What ensued to you?" I asked. My attention was all on him. He turns his gaze to the different side. I don't speak for a while, trying to not make him uncomfortable. "If you're not comfortable talking about that, it's okay." I said and started skimming the pages of the book in front of us.
He let out a small smile. Even though I'm curious about what happened to him. I still should know his privacy. He also took a book and he started writing in his small notebook.
Time passed by, we are here in our room, waiting for our professor to come. "Thank you" he whispered. I gave him a small smile.
Our professor opened the door "Good Morning students" and he greeted us. We greeted him back. Like usual, he distributes the papers to the one who's in front and then he commanded to pass it backward. "Don't expect that it will be easy, especially when you don't read your book" all of us nodded.
We started to answer our exam and our professor is right, it's not easy. I'm mind was being blocked because of this! But still, I tried my best to answer all of the questions as much as I can.
"Did you and Zayden talk already?" Athena asked, we're now on the way to our home. Athena was asking me many questions about Zavien. "Is he alright?" She also looked worried at him.
"We talked a while ago," I said. We are near my house. "and he's alright, I think" I added. I can see on her face that she's not content with what I've said. "Bye!" I waved my hand in her. I'm in front of our door, knocking.
It's been a tiring day, I want to have a long rest. After my mom opened the door, I went directly to my room. I immediately take a bath so I can rest. It's my habit, I guess. After going to class, I'm always taking a bath. I can't sleep well if I don't do that.
I was about to sleep when my phone rang. I took a look at it and it was Zavien. I answered his call immediately. "Why?" I started.
He didn't talk for a while "Nothing, I just want to say thank you for understanding me a while ago" I heard some background noises while he was saying that.
"You thank me a million times, Zavien" I let out a laugh.
"But, I wanted to tell you the reason but please" he stopped for a second "Don't tell anyone. I will be embarassed if our classmate will start to talk about me" I waited for him to speak.
"It's because-" he's hesitating to answer.
"It's really okay if you don't tell me, Zavien. Believe me, I understand you"
I sat down in my bed, still waiting for him to talk but I don't receive any answer. He suddenly ended up the call without saying goodbye. I'm not upset becauss of what he did because like what I've said, I understand him.
After our call, my mom suddenly called me. She just asked if I'm okay. Subsequently, I continue to lay in my bed then close my eyes to sleep.
I was disturbed by my alarm that's now ringing. I canceled the alarm but I forgot that I had 5 alarms! I take a look and it's 6:30 in the morning. I instantly went to our bathroom to take a bath and fixed myself.
After that, I organized the things that I needed to bring to class then put it in my backpack. The next thing I did was go out to my house and started to walk. I take a glimpse at the time right now, it's 7:30 in the morning. Our first class is 8:30.
It is very refreshing to see this every day. The sun, the clouds, and the people that're peacefully walking. I waited for the bus to come here to the bus stop. After a minute, when it finally comes. I immediately went in so I won't be late.
I'm now walking fast. The gate will be closed at exactly 8:30 in the morning. It's already 8:15! I only have fifteen minutes left!
I can see the gate here from afar, the guard was closing it! I run as fast as I can. "You're late," the guard said. He was locking the gate! Did I run slow?
I showed him my watch. "It's only 8:29 in the morning, sir," I said as I awkwardly smiled at him.
He chuckled. He opened the gate again and allowed me to enter. "Thank you!" I shouted, loud enough to let him hear what I was saying. I was still running now.
When I am in front of the room, they are discussing now! I don't know if I still want to join my classmates in our first subject or not. I'm sweating buckets!
When Zavien saw me, he pointed at the backdoor which is beside him. "What are you trying to say?" I mouthed.
He just continued to point at the door while he was making sure that our lecturer would not see him. When I ultimately understood what he was trying to say, I slowly stepped my feet. I noticed that he was besides no one with a blank chair beside me. Which was where I was about to sit.
He showed me a stopped sign using his hands when our lecturer suddenly turned her gaze in the class. He demonstrated an okay sign when our lecturer started to write something on the board.
I slowly walked, making sure that my steps had no sounds. My eyes widened when someone talked "Why are you hiding, Ms. Alphonse?"
