Now that we are in college, Reina is obsessed with something else. Stan left - Noah's vocalist, went to the US. So last time there was an audition at the gym for a replacement. Too bad, eh. Moon Records has already made an offer to their band, but now Stan actually left.
"Hey." I pushed Reina at the same time.
She was dumbfounded on one side. Maybe he's thinking about his new crush! He's the very handsome vocalist of Zeus right now.
She sighed and looked at me. She only saw Wade yesterday and it seems that her problem is already big.
"Reina, make yourself beautiful. It's time for you to change yourself."
"I'm not like you who is really beautiful." She said
"There you go again. Your self-esteem is really low. You should have high self-esteem because that's how your brothers are. I don't know what vitamin your mommy took when you were pregnant and you are so lethargic?"
She frowned at me. I grinned. She's simple minded. Even though the Elizaldes are very rich, I think this is the only one I've seen that doesn't waste money.
"Hey, can I go first? Tomorrow, let's see what we can do so you can make over."
Reina just nodded and parted her bangs.
"Bye, Reina, I love you." I kissed her cheek and adjusted my shoulder bag.
"Bye-bye." She said and waved at me.
I hurried to leave. Even though I have to go to school later. I intend to pass by Noah's classroom again. I always do it. And I don't understand why he is really dead to me even though he is very close to me every time we meet.
Before I got to their building, I saw Rozen in the distance with a woman. I frowned and just looked away.
"He's at it again."
I just went straight inside the building and went up the stairs. I'm going to footbridge to our building. I just really want to come here to see Noah.
When I was finally on the right floor, I immediately saw him in the distance. What do I do now to make him notice? The guitar was behind him and he was alone. He is rarely alone so this is my chance to pay attention to him.
I already know! I had a light bulb moment!
I looked for something in my bag as we approached each other. I frowned as I searched hard for something I couldn't really find in it.
When I got to the part with cracked tiles, I pretended to be trip.
"SHIT!"
The floor creaked because of my knees on the floor. I closed my eyes in so much pain. I feel like it will give me bone cancer. I opened my eyes almost crying.
Noah got down on one knee and extended his hand to me.
"Are you okay, Coreen?"
This was the first time he noticed and talked to me again after what happened in high school!
I nodded and put my hand on top of his hand. He pulled me. I was even embarrassed because I lost the strength to stand up so my whole weight was on him.
I saw that my knees were not injured but they were red. The other is gradually turning violet.
My mouth dropped as I looked at it. I looked at Noah who was also looking carefully at my knees.
I always wear shorts so I will stop wearing shorts because of what happened to my knee.
Noah looked at me, but he immediately looked away...
"Can you walk?" He asked.
"Yes." I said and tried immediately.
It's just that, when I tried, the inside of the joint hurt so I almost fell again.
I grinned with my hands on my head at what happened.
"I'll rest first." I looked at their classroom full of students.
"Noah!" Warren called to him. "Come on!
Noah motioned for Warren to go ahead. Warren glanced at me. I leaned against the wall for support but he immediately grabbed my waist.
"Be careful." He said
My cheeks warmed up. I'm ashamed of him. He even accompanied me here.
"It's okay." I said when the pain subsided a bit.
I tried to walk again but I was afraid I would stumble again.
Noah took a breath and I was just shocked when he picked me up. I was amazed at what he did.
"Noah?"
I was in his arms. He bent down as he picked me up and picked up my bag. My heart was beating fast at what was happening. My throat was also dry.
"Noah... What are you doing?" I asked.
"Of course, you'll be taken to the infirmary, Coreen. I can't leave you here like this."
"But... your class?" I asked.
I looked at their classroom. I saw their professor enter. He just shrugged and...
"There are things that are more important than that."
My heart beat fast at what he said. I even saw some girls peeking at the two of us.
"Come on! Mika! Noah is carrying something! Woman!" I heard that from one of their classmates.
Of course, because Noah is handsome and very mysterious, girls will quickly like him. It's still quiet and a little stuck, so it's even more attractive.
"Noah... Those people." I said.
"Why? What people?" he asked.
I just bit my lip. He continued to carry me. Earlier, when the truth hit me, I regretted my plan. But now, there is no trace of guilt and regret. Everything is perfect!
Noah's perfume. I close my eyes every time the wind blows and I smell her perfume. I want to live here. HAHA!
"Coreen."
"Hmmm?"
"COREEN!"
I jumped when he shouted my name. I looked at him.
He looked into the distance and snorted.
"We're here at the infirmary. I'll take you down." He said and slowly let go of my legs.
"Okay...Sorry." I grinned but winced when I felt the pain again.
He shook his head and held my waist.
"Be careful, Coreen." He said coldly and opened the door to the infirmary.
I went in there and a nurse examined my knee.
It's just bruised. It's just a cold compress first. Before hot compress." The nurse said.
"I'll just get some ice." She said.
Noah nodded.
He stood and folded his arms in front of me. I was sitting on the clinic bed.
"Thanks." I said to the nurse.
I turned to Noah.
"Noah, uhm, thank you... You're late... Uhm... Aren't you leaving yet?"
"If I left, I should have left you a long time ago." He answered coldly. "But I didn't, right? I'm still here, so I'm not leaving."
"What about your class?"
My heart beat fast.
"Like I said, Coreen, there are more important things than that."
What is that thing? Am I one of that thing? Am I more important? He cleared his throat and approached me.
He caressed my knee then turned to me.
"Here it is... the cold compress." The nurse gave it to me at the same time.
But Noah grabbed it and put it on my knee.
"It is more important to me that you are well."
