He didn't show much interest in it, so I didn't ask anything more. Emi could have told me about him. Is it something to hide that he is her boyfriend?
On the one hand, why do I think this nonsense?
After about an hour and a half, they came out of the room, immediately Emi came and took me aside. I don't know what happened to them. Maybe she wants to talk about her relationship.
"Let them stay here today, let's go to our home," she said. I nodded without asking anything.
After dinner we said goodbye to each other and went home to sleep. Emi's behavior is also very strange. "Are you in any trouble Emi?" I asked, but she smiled happily and said that there was nothing.
I read a book until late night and fell asleep.
When I got up in the morning, Emi was not there, but when I came out of the room, Cross was sleeping on the sofa. I went to my house without waking him up. Jake was nowhere to be seen.
Thinking that they must have left in the morning, I went to the room to get ready. Then I saw a messy room, chips everywhere
If two boys stay in a house for a day, that's it. Very messy. I don't have enough time to clean up this mess, so I quickly dress up and went to college with Cross.
Only a few students were seen there because today we were earlier. I went straight to the lab because I couldn't clean the lab yesterday. Because I had to go home with Jake.
I usually come to the lab early, but surprisingly the lab is open. I opened the door and went inside.
It was none other than Jake. But Emi was nowhere to be found.
Looked like he was checking something "Can I help you" I asked smiling. But when he saw that I was there,
"nerd, why are you here, don't disturb me, get out of here." he said angrily. what I didn't do anything except trying to help. Anyway now I'm done with this nonsense.
" Oh okay, I came here to clean up, then do it yourself monster" I left.
The vacation trip is only a week away and there are many things to prepare.
"Students, today we had a small meeting to make some awareness."
Mr. Kim had to explain about the trip. There are only six students going on the trip. All of them are very excited. Jake tried to talk to me but I didn't even look at him.
It was said that the trip requires written permission from the parents.
But how can I get a letter from the family, it will take weeks for such a letter to arrive.If that happens, I won't be able to go. At the end of the meeting, I thought to ask Mr. Kim that.
"It must be done Ruth, it is not possible to take a student for such a long time without permission and to a far away country like Romania" he said with a serious look.
"You definitely need someone to come here as your guardian. Sorry, I have nothing to do with that. I will talk to the office and see if there is anything that can be done, don't worry, you will be able to go." He went out from there.
I don't have a guardian here. After so much time, I can't go at the last moment. What a misfortune.
Jake came back and tried to convince me. No matter how much I tried not to listen to them, he came after me and started harassing me. "You are an evil minded, leave me alone" I shouted.
Even though he was silent, he did not stop coming after me.
I feel a bit depressed. So I thought of going to the swimming club. I used to stay here whenever I was confused. I hardly had time to come in the last few days. The medical field is very difficult for someone who wants to travel freely. Because sometimes we have to sacrifice many things we like. Like I missed swimming. Not really missed, there was a lot of work in the past few days. As the seniors say, 1st year is the hardest.
It's always lonely there. Hardly anyone comes. I put on my swimming kit and came near the pool.
I couldn't go on the trip, but I can go home instead I thought.
I stayed there for a while and I felt a little better.
Cross came there saying "You are here". "I was wondering what happened to you, I thought you might be here." He said as he sat down. I just smile looking at him.
We talked for a while and came out from there. Today the environment is bright. The small puddles of water formed on the road due to the rain are shining.
Cross also moves on them like a kid. He seemed happy, and when I said I was planning to go home, he also wanted to come with me. He is happy to talk to me again and I need to know the reason for his anger for the past few days.
We slowly moved to the lecture hall. When approaching the lecture hall. Jake came out of the hall
He grabbed my hand asking "I was looking for you, where did you go?"
Then, before I could say anything, Cross grabbed my other hand and dragged me into the hall.
I saw Jake looking at it angrily. I looked for him during the lecture but he was not there.
Cross did the right thing, because Jake acts like I'm his girlfriend, but if look closely, it's Emi.
I thought I would lose my friend because of his nonsense.
That evening I went home alone because I was working in the lab. All the friends have gone home. On the way, many animals started screaming at the same time. It was still around six o'clock. Although there is nothing to be afraid of, my heart skipped a beat at that time. I quickened my legs and started walking fast. After a short distance, my fear subsided because of the sound of a motorcycle. That sound seems very familiar. I was right, that's Jake, he passed me and stopped the motorcycle after going a short distance. I was quite happy but without showing it, I ran there.
