Chapter 075

I arrived at the university, I immediately got out of the car and walked to the main entrance. Many people are here now to watch the match. And some of them came from the other university who will be the opponent of my brother later in the game. I just keep walking until I reach the field. The game hasn't started yet but a lot of people are here now and each of them holding a banner. Is Sebastian here too? But in today's crowd, I might not see him. "Excuse me." I turned around when someone touched my shoulder and he was surprised at me. He was wearing a jersey and I read what was written on it. San Beda College, Ramirez K. "Did you need anything?" I asked. He didn't answer right away, he just stared into my eyes which surprised me. "Hey, is there a problem?" I asked again, then he avoided looking at me. "I'm sorry, I just want to give it to you, 'cause you drop it earlier," he replied while handing me a handkerchief. I noticed that his hand was trembling as he handed me my handkerchief. What could be the problem? Is he afraid of me? "Thank you for reaching for my handkerchief," I said smiling. "You're welcome, by the way, I'm Kenneth," he introduced. "Nice to meet you, Kenneth, I'm-" "I know you," he suddenly added which surprised me. Does he know me? How come? "You're Vienna right?" "How did you know?" I nervously replied to him. "Don't you know me? You've been my classmate since first-year high school. You're ranked 1 in the class, aren't you? I thought I was wrong when I saw you get out of the car earlier but I didn't." He was my classmate in high school? But I don't remember him and even more, I don't know him. I don't know what to answer him, I'm having a hard time. "How are you? We heard that you transferred when we are in our 4th year because you went to America to study there." I was silenced because of what he said. I couldn't believe it. Didn't they know I had an accident before? Does that mean mom kept it a secret about what happened to me? But why? What is their reason? "Vienna, are you okay?" he asked worriedly. "I'm fine, I-I need to go." With each passing day, I learn something about my past. I'm confused, I need to know everything and I don't care if I get hurt. I just really want to know what happened 3 years ago so that the questions in my mind can be answered as well. *** "Did something happen, Vienna? Ever since you came here earlier, you've been quiet," Michelle asked worriedly. I'm with them now and I don't even know how I find them. "I'm fine, just watch there," I said without emotion. I heard him sigh but I just ignored it. I only focused on one person. I was looking at him earlier when the game started but I still don't remember him. "Therese." Therese turned to me immediately but my sight was still on Kenneth. "Yes, Vienna? Is there a problem?" "Do you know Kenneth Ramirez?" I seriously said. "I met him when I transferred to the school he attended and he became my classmate in one of my subjects. He's the Team Captain of San Beda College of Architecture, that's him," she replied while pointing in Kenneth's direction. I was surprised while looking at Therese. Did she know me before? But she didn't say anything to me. "Do you know him, Vienna? Have you met yet?" I shook my head in response. "I'll buy water for a while, I'll be back." "I'll come with you, friend, maybe there are a lot of people in the cafeteria today." "No need, it's fine, I can handle it." I also left immediately but the confusion and worries of my two friends didn't escape my sight. What Kenneth said makes me think again. I don't remember the name of the school where I went to high school then but I'm sure he not only knows me but there were more. I arrived at the cafeteria and Michelle was right, there were a lot of people inside. "Vienna." I turned to see who had called me. It was just Britt but he wasn't with Sebastian. I think he's starting to avoid me. "How are you? Are you feeling okay?" he asked and I nodded in response. "Why are you alone? Where are they-" "In the field, watching," he cut me off. But I haven't seen Sebastian earlier. "What do you want to buy? I'll buy it." "It's fine Britt, I can do it." "I insist Vienna, I just want to help you." "All right, it's up to you. Three bottled water and three cheeseburgers, thank you in advance Britt and this is the fee," I said. But he held me by the arm as I was about to take the wallet from my bag. "I'll pay, Vienna, just wait for me there," he said and he ran into the cafeteria. I just smiled, Britt is really nice and I don't regret that I met him. After a few minutes, Britt came out and gave me what he bought. We also left the cafeteria and went back to the field. Britt walked ahead of me and I just followed behind him. But I stopped walking when we were close to the field. Exactly it was a timeout and I saw Kenneth approaching in the direction of Sebastian and Enzo. He was happy to see the two but I was surprised to see the three of them. That means, they know each other? "Vienna .. are you okay?" I didn't notice that Britt was in front of me but I just looked at him and didn't answer him. If they've ever known each other for a long time, there's a possibility that Britt and his friends have already known me before. "Britt is-" "VIENNA!" I couldn't continue what I was going to say when someone called me again. It was just Tine and he was already walking in my direction. "Is there a problem?" he immediately asked when he came in front of me. "Umm no .. Britt and I just talked. By the way, thank you for this, hmm?" Britt nodded and smiled. He also left immediately then I turned my gaze to Tine. But he smiles widely up to his ears. "Why are you smiling?" I asked, wondered. He suddenly scratched the back of his neck as if he was shy. "I thought you wouldn't be able to watch the match but it's a good thing you came, I already have an inspiration in the game," he said. But I couldn't smile at him, sadness prevailed in my heart. How can I admit to him that I like Sebastian? I also don't want his courtship to last longer. I don't want him to expect me and I don't want to see him hurt anymore. So while it was still early, he needed to know how I really felt about him. "Come on, maybe your game will start again," I said and passed him. I looked in Sebastian's direction but I didn't even notice that he had been looking at me since earlier. He looked at me seriously which surprised me. What is his problem again? Why does he look at me that way? I don't want to think anything about the four of them and I'm not sure if my suspicion is right. Kenneth knows me and he, Sebastian, Britt, and Enzo know each other. There's a possibility that they were in the same class in high school and there's a possibility that they have known me for a long time. But why didn't they admit anything to me? 'Kenneth Ramirez, I need your help.'
