Chapter 16 - "Approach of the loner"

Next Day,

Ning woke up early, dressed up, packed her bags, had her breakfast, bid goodbye to her parents and went to school with Ling who was outside her house waiting for her.

"So, Are you going to tell me about--" Ling aksed as they waited for their bus.

"Not yet...I will tell you if I succeed." Ning said as she looked at the bus which arrived just right at time.

.

"Why? Is it something like Mission Impossible?"

"No, it is Mission possible." Ning said as she held onto her bag tightly with a small smile on her lips.

Ling looked at her and then at the sky,

"(Please don't let this smile fade...God please.)"

Ling prayed as she smiled and played with her phone.

.

"Hey, look at this. Our school won the first prize in national debate championship." A girl squealed while looking at her phone.

"Yeah and it was won by our one and only class monitor!" Another said while clapping her hands.

"Really! Gu Wei really did it!"

"Wow! She is really beauty with brains."

.

"Gu Wei she was out for a competition, no wonder the class was so peaceful." Ling said as she kept her bag on the desk.

"Ling!"

"Okay that was rude but why isn't she here yet?"

"She is busy on her vacation. She won a ticket to Maldives you know." Yuan said as he sipped into his blue Hawaii.

.

"Maldives! Seriously!"

"Ling do I look like I am joking? That too this early in the morning?"

"Ahh, I have never been this jealous of Gu Wei ever before." Ling said as she pouted.

Whereas Ning eyes were searching for a certain 6feet boy.

.

"By the way, Ning how are you?" Yuan asked as he gave her a toffee which she gladly accepted.

"I am good, but Is Yang Feng not coming today?" Ning asked as she clenched onto her bag tightly.

"Umm, Feng Ge---"

.

Yuan didn't even complete his sentence when the door jerked opened and Yang Feng entered the class with a grumpy face, tired eyes, messy hair and unkempt uniform.

"Good Morning~" Yuan chipped as she handed him his black coffee.

"Thanks I really needed it." Feng not really looking around his surrounding said as he sat behind Yuan sipping his coffee.

.

"I can see it, you are practically looking like a zombie."

" No offense I even feel myself as one." He said as he took one last large sip of his coffee and gave the cup to Yuan before dozing off again.

.

Ning on the other hand kept on looking at Feng and seeing him so tired made her feel a little more guilty but before the negative voices could reach her, the teacher entered the class and everything went as usual.

.

Feng only woke up during the break and it was then when he noticed her presence which are him feel quite confused and agitated, so befoe anyone could get a hold on him...he ran away.

"Ning we are currently on the last period and you still haven't told me about that mission possible of yours."

"Ling be patient." Ning said as she looked at Feng who entered the class just now without making any type of eye contact and just walked out of the classroom along with his backpack.

.

Ning too didn't waste any time and quietly followed him. And it might be taken as a plus point that Ning was good at being quiet so Feng didn't notice her presence.

"Here comes another day full of pain." Feng said in an irritated tone as he massaged his shoulders and muscles.

.

Ning who was looking at him couldn't help but giggle at his actions, although this was a punishment and she had no right to laugh at him but still the way he talked with himself and did all the work clumsily made him look cute in her eyes.

'(Ning stop laughing! You are here for a misison!)' Ning told herself as she looked around the auditorium and finally her eyes stopped at the black coloured bag which was on kept on the second row first seat.

.

"Target locked! Now all I need to do is go and keep this things there." She whispered while pulling out a medium size paper bag our of her bag.

She quietly placed her bag on the ground and crawled towards the seats which was almost 8 rows away from her.

.

Feng on the other hand was so engrossed in his work that he didn't even notice the banana pill in the ground and *thud*

"Ouch!!" He ended up falling on his butt right on the wooden stage.

"What the ---"

"Pffttt!!!" Feng looked around startled by the sudden laugh but saw no one until his he felt some type of movement in the second row.

.

"Who is there??" He asked while holding onto the chair nearby and standing up despite the throbbing pain in his butt.

No reply came back but the rustling sound was still there but now at the back of the row.

.

"Hey who is there? Stand up and look at me!" He demanded and that person aka Ning did stand but in place of looking at him sje just ran away for there and only stopped when she was far away form the auditorium.

.

"Haa..Hah...I almost got caught but will he be alright? He feel pretty badly *thinks about his comical fall* but I did leave him some relief patches." She said while pressing both her lips together and trying her best to not laugh.

.

"Who was that girl? And where did she run too?" Feng talked to himself as he checked ourife thr auditorium but there wasn't even a single bird there.

"Ouch, my back hurts so bad." He said as he placed his hands on his hips and walked towards the stage again.

"But still I need to complete my work--" Feng dead stopped on his tracks when he noticed a paper bag near his backpack.

.

Feng took a seat near his bag and took that paper bag on his hands.

"Where did this come from? Did that girl leave this here? For me!!" He said surprised as he saw his name tag on the paper bag.

.

Feng didn't think much and opened the paper bag hoping not to find something creepy in there but unlike his imagination. That bag contained of a sandwich form his favorite shop, a small can of fruit juice, a pack of tissue paper, a pack of pain relief patches that made his ears go red and lately a small card.

He pulled out the card and opened it,

"Good Luck! And sorry!"

.

He read and suddenly a small smile crept on his not because of the times he got or the words wrote in it but because of the certain realization that he knew as exactly who was behind all this.

"Ning..." He said while closing the card and smiling like a fool.

On the other hand Ling was going through an mental shock as she couldn't belive that her shy little friend actually had the gut to do something so cute and daring.

.

Ning was just looking at the ground and second thinking her choices feeling nervous and embrassed but she also felt kind of relieved when she remembered how tomorrow is Saturday so she won't be seeing Feng till the next Monday.

But destiny....has already made her plans so on her way out of school she meet with thr eyes she least expected and was running from.

"Feng..."
