'Awareness is essential...'
Sofia's words lingered in the guidance counselor's thoughts. The man closed his eyes tightly and slumped his body on his chair.
"Why do I felt like I was being lectured by a student? I am the guidance counselor here. However, that student, I could also not find fault of her words!" he reflected as his hand massaged the bridge of his nose.
In the hallway, Sofia's steps were rushed. The trip to the guidance office did not last for 20 minutes but her mood had turned sour.
"Hey!" a voice called her. She turned her head and saw Kevin, standing a few steps away from her.
"So, I think I remember you. During the seminar, you were sitting beside me," Kevin started.
"Get to your point," Sofia snapped. She didn't feel sorry for slapping the boy. And if he would demand an apology to her, she might just slap the other side of his face!
"Well, I came here to apologize. Really, it was a misunderstanding," Kevin gestured a handshake.
