Chapter 027

VIENNA'S POV "Don't be sad, okay? It won't reach Tine, I talked to our classmates earlier. No need to worry, okay?" Therese said, I just smiled. The second period had just ended and I lost the urge to listen to the discussion because of what happened earlier. "Michelle was on a bench near the cafeteria and she already bought some food for us." I nodded in response and we headed to where Michelle was. We caught her drinking coke and she just stopped when she saw us. She immediately stood up and hugged me. "Vienna, you cried earlier? A classmate of mine saw you when she passed by your room. Did something happen?" she asked after she hugged me. I looked at Therese as we both sat down. She knows what I mean so she told Michelle the story. "Damn him! No manners! He's annoying! He's been like that since yesterday. On how he can talk to us, he thinks that he knew the whole story," Michelle said annoyed after Therese told what happened earlier. What should I expect? That's how she reacts when I'm the one who is harmed. "He saw that it was there and then it was like a typhoon when he passed by. There was nothing left, the floor tasted it and not Vienna. I don't know why he did that. You can see in him that he was angry and frustrated but we don't know why he did that," Therese said. She's right, Sebastian looks annoyed but I don't know the reason. But it doesn't mean that he will ruin my day and even ruin the food. "About the food, it's a very big deal, Tine's mom's effort was useless. Especially since he didn't apologize to you. I understand you Vienna, I know why you're crying," Michelle said. I suddenly remembered why I cried earlier and almost everyone witnessed it. I don't tend to cry in public, I don't want everyone to see my weakness. But because of what Sebastian did, I learned to do that. "Isn't he jealous of Tine?" Therese said suddenly, I looked at her right away. "Because you know Vienna when you left the room earlier to go to Tine. I noticed that Sebastian's mood changed, I'm not mistaken and for sure he's jealous," she added. How come he gets jealous? We're not even close. "We're not sure about that, it's wrong to assume. We'll also know that, it's not hard to analyze Sebastian. Even if that guy isn't showy, we'll still notice his actions towards you." I just ignored Michelle's response. I don't want to think about that because it's not true and it's not going to happen. I don't care about his feelings, I don't see in him that he can love a woman. After the break, Michelle went back to her room and Therese went to her organization. After about 5 minutes of walking, I reached the room as well. Before I could sit down, Mike approached me. He is a top student in the class and you can tell that he is really smart. He's nice but sometimes he's quiet. "Do you need something?" I asked. "Can I borrow your notes on sociology? I didn't quite cope with the discussion earlier," he replied. I put down my bag and looked for the notebook he will borrow. "Here .. my handwriting isn't good, it's up to you to understand," I said while reaching out to him. "Sure, no problem Vienna. I'll just bring it back later, thanks." I sat down after he left in front of me. I feel sleepy again, I want to sleep but the noise of my classmates. "Vienna.." I looked at the person who called me, it was Lessandra and she was outside the room near the door. "Tine.." she said and I was glad to hear it. I just stood up and Tine was already at the door. He looked in Sebastian's direction but it didn't take long either. He looked at me seriously and I don't like the way he looks, it makes me scared. I approached his direction and my classmates suddenly sat down. They seemed scared of Tine's presence especially me. "Tine, so-.." "It's fine Vienna, don't worry," he interrupted me. Did he already know? But how did he know? "Tine, it's just .." "No need to explain, it's fine, and forget it. By the way, attention everyone. Professor Miguel told me that he won't meet with you today. He's still taking care of something in his office, you can have your early lunch," he said seriously. My classmates were happy because of what he said, except me... I'm not happy. "I saw Therese at the swimming club, she's doing something. Who can you have lunch with? Michelle still has a class," he turned to me. This time, his mood has changed, but I feel that he is angry. "I'm still full," I shortly replied. "I'll take your bag, just be there and wait for me." And so he entered the room. I didn't stop him, he acted as if he was my boyfriend and I feel unease about it. It's given that he's sweet and such a good person but this kind of treatment, I don't like it. He looked at Sebastian first before he took my bag and left the room. We left as well and are now quietly walking here in the hallway. I'm not used to him like this, he's just looking at what we're going through. Is he angry? "Tine, how did you find out?" I asked. He looked at me but it didn't take long. "I just heard in the cafeteria earlier and I also found out that you cry," he replied before looking at me. "Don't worry, I won't tell that mom. Tomorrow, I'll bring you again and you can eat it," he added and smiled. I don't know why he's doing this so I'll just let him. We got to the cafeteria and he bought the food while I searched for an empty table. When I found it, I just sat down in a chair. Some students looked in my direction and others, still whispering. I just sighed, they were nothing to do in life. After about 15 minutes, Tine already bought food and he is now heading in my direction. He put down two trays of food when he arrived. I just stared at him as he placed the food in front of me. He sat down and I started eating even though I was full. "Your brother told me, you fought earlier," he said suddenly. "He thought you will keep your promise to him that you will forget what happened before." "I changed my mind, I admit I told him that before. But I just want to bring back my old memories, even if it doesn't happen right away but at least I try. If he doesn't want to help me, I can't do anything about it." "Your brother is just concerned about you and he just doesn't want to see you hurt and having a hard time reliving your past." "If he's concerned about me, he'll help me but he didn't." Shit! my annoyance with my brother suddenly returned. Tsk! If he can't help me, then fine! "You're really cute," he said and at the same time pinched my cheek. I was surprised by what he did but he just smiled at me. "Anyways, are you free on Saturday?" he asked to my surprise. "Why?" I asked nervously. "I will invite you on a date," he replied to my surprise. He looked away from me as if embarrassed by what he said. What shall I answer? Date? That means, he likes me?
