It took her 3 days to finally decide to share the new change with her classmates. She did not delay it because she hates them, she just needs energy to even press the send button. Now that another job was done, she grabbed her stuff and went to the printer store in the campus to print the material for next class. She texted her classmates all about the price and the first person was too obvious.
'You have received money from Zane.'
She feels like she had an issue with this man. For no absolute reason. "...Why do I feel threatened for no reason?" She muttered it quietly before she was called for the material. It was lots of material and pretty heavy. Why did she agree again?
Oh, wait. She didn't.
Her classmates asked for her to help.
'Ping'
She checked her phone and it was the same person actively texting her about class. She felt responsible for this guy and his studies for no reason. Zane, who is hardly thinking about the mathematics problems, got a fast reply from Aika for the solution.
Aika: Not sure if mine is correct but I don't use the formula you used.

Aika: There's one more formula and I remember that we can use it as a shortcut.
Zane: Ah, I see.
Zane: Thanks.
It is so simple and short. Aika drops her phone before having to pick it up to answer more questions from her classmates. "Seriously?! I need a rest." She sighed. Her hand turns off the internet and she keeps her phone in the closet. She wanted peace. Otherwise, someone had to face her wrath.
Zane on the other hand, continued to study and even had sent her another text about the math questions. When he saw the offline mark on her name, he decided to let it be and put his phone down. Perhaps, he needs to stop studying for a while.
"Can I take a rest? I think I might forget about it if I start resting."
He leaned back to his chair and gave it a thought. The thought moves on from studying to thinking about what to have for dinner. Not only the small rest makes him forget about his early thoughts but also reminds him that he had not yet eaten anything since morning. His stomach grumbled like a drum.
Aika, woke up from her nap and grabbed her book. She finally went through her closet to look for her phone that she threw. Once she found it, she read her text and did her work before sharing the solution to the guy. From what she remembered, this guy had a more decent mark compared to her so she had a deadpan expression every time she helped him.
'This guy is being humble but it makes me feel like god is shoving the fact I am not naturally born smart.'
She looked at her table and sighed at how messy it was. She had adapted well to her roommates' lifestyle. That being them being messy. So her solution is to be comfortable with mess and be messy. She hated this lifestyle.
"What is my problem, honestly. I should have tidied up."
Before she could start tidying up her stuff, she got another text and went quiet when her eyes scanned the text.
'Do you want to eat lunch together tomorrow?'
Did she read it wrong? No, she is not blind, she can see well, it was from Zane.
"What is this? What am I supposed to say?"
She stays seated in her chair as she stares at her phone. It gave her a very, very confused feeling. Is this guy into me an insane joke for her to make right now. She lifted her phone just to type 'sure'. Not sure if that is enough to be an answer.
It's actually not new. She gets this kind of message a lot from her classmates that wanted to make friends with her but to get that kind of message from…
It's complicated to say what kind of person this guy is but he is definitely the quiet type.
