Chapter 051

I finished my two subjects and my brain was drained because of the lessons. They have also provided the requirements that must be passed after the final exam for the first semester. Fortunately, I submitted my project proposal last week, so I have very little to do. And it seems like I have not in the mood of leaving the room to eat. "Hey, Vienna," Therese said while poking me in the side. I looked up and turned to her. "Come on, I'm already hungry 'cause I haven't had breakfast earlier. You won't come out? I'll just buy you something?" she added. "No need, Sebastian gave me cookies and cupcakes, I'll eat that. If you want to eat then, just get there," I replied. "All right, I'll just buy you some drinks?" She asked. "Just buy me a drink, thank you, Therese." "All right Vienna, you're welcome," she said and she left the room. I want to sleep but my classmates are too noisy. "Vienna.." I looked up. Sandra was the only one who called me but I was surprised when she suddenly smiled at me. "Hmm? Why Sandra?" I asked. "Tine is outside, looking for you," she replied. That's why she smiled at me and because of the guy outside of our room. I got up and left the room. I found him leaning against the wall. Why did he come here? "Tine," I said. He immediately turned around and smiled at me. "How are you?" he asked when he gets closer to me. "I'm fine, I'm just sleepy," I replied and suddenly yawned in front of him. He just smiled at me and combed my hair with his fingers. I was surprised at what he did, was it too messy for him to fix? "Just rest inside, I know you're tired," he said after he fixed my hair. "Later, it's still noisy inside. Why did you come here, Tine?" I asked. He scratched his neck as if he was shy to speak. What would he say? SEBASTIAN'S POV I just arrived at the cafeteria to buy drinks. I saw Michelle and Therese on a bench but they were not with Vienna. She didn't go here? But she seemed fine yesterday. I just approached their direction and they looked surprised at my presence when I arrived in front of them. "Where is Vienna?" I asked to their surprise. I have no intention of approaching or talking to them if not for their friend. "She's in the room, she's tired that's why she can't be with us. I just bought her a drink, why-" I didn't finish her, I just took the drink and left. I know they were surprised but I didn't care. I also arrived at the Political Science building. I was about to go to the room but I suddenly stopped. Tine was talking to Vienna, they were talking happily. Is what Vince told me right? ''Tine intends to court Vienna, he likes my sister and I feel that Vienna also likes him. Let her be happy with Tine. Even if the world is turned upside down, your relationship and the love she felt for you before will never be returned. All of that is left in the past so stop before you get hurt again.'' Maybe Vince is right, I can't take back what Vienna and I had then. Everything has changed, I am no longer the one she loves and Tine has taken my place in her heart. But here I am still, secretly loving her. It's too late for us so I need to stop. VIENNA'S POV I went back inside the room and ate the cookies that Sebastian gave me. But why hasn't Therese come back yet? "Vienna Malvar, special delivery from Sebastian," Lester said as he entered the room. He handed me the drink he was holding and I just took it. "Where is he?" I asked. "He left earlier, he just ordered me to hand it to you. He's close to here but he hasn't given it to you personally," Lester replied. Why is it? I'm wondering. But suddenly Therese arrived and looked like she had just come from running. "Vie-Vienna .. Sebastian took the C-C2," Therese said breathlessly. "Is this?" I asked as I showed it to her. "He's the one who handed it to you? That man is crazy. I thought he was going to drink it. He's the one who will deliver it to you. It's good, geez .. my foot hurts because of running too fast. Sebastian is really crazy, please talk to him," she replied. I just kept quiet, I didn't tell Therese that Lester had reached out to me. What could have happened to Sebastian? He take it from Therese but he didn't personally give it to me. Geez .. you're messing up, Sebastian, I can't understand you anymore. My class on the Philippine Constitution also started after the break and I didn't expect him to give a quiz. That's why my soul went crazy, not just me but all of us who were here in the room. We had no choice so we took a quiz even though we couldn't review. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, the class finally ended. We don't have the next class and the professor just gave us the activity so I'm doing it right now. "Vienna." I turned to Therese who was currently writing in her notebook. "What?" I asked. "Michelle told me that you're going to adopt Billy?" I nodded in response when she looked at me. "His adoption papers are already in process. Why is there a problem?" I asked. "Your decision won't change? For sure you know what will be the result for it on you. You will have a great responsibility to him when he is in your care," she replied. "I know Therese, before I decided I thought about what it would mean for me. I just did it for Billy's sake, I want to give him a good life and I want him to recover from his illness." "But the court will allow it, Vienna? It's given that he is important to you and you treat him like a brother. But Vienna, you're still studying and you don't have a job yet. Yes, you have your own business and you have money, you can help him but can you do all that alone? You need to ask for help, especially with your mom. You need guidance in your decision, you can't do it alone." What Therese said immediately made me think. She and Michelle are right, I can't do it alone. I didn't want to ask her for help but I would be forced to do it for Billy. It's lunchtime and I just finished my class in General Sociology. But I'm going to the Music Club now, brother Dim needs to talk to me. Therese, on the other hand, went to the cafeteria, because Michelle had been waiting for us for a while and maybe she was already bored there. I was close to the Music Club but I stopped when I saw Tine talking again to the girl I saw last week. Not that I'm jealous but I just wondering. Who is she? I also arrived at the Music Club and I just went in right away. I found Louie and his band practicing in a corner but I couldn't see Sebastian. Where did he go?
