Love Isn't Always Fair

                   55-60.) CaF2 has a Ksp = 3.8*10^-11 at 25°C. What is the [F-] in a saturated solution of CaF2 at 25°C?

                   'Sheesh, why does Mrs. Namie give something so complicated like this? I did study this but this is just.....too challenging and talk about five items,' I thought to myself while massaging the two edges of my forehead with my thumbs and secretly praying to God to have mercy on me. This is so not the drama. Yeah, I know. Cliché much? 

                   I was one of the students who finished ahead of time so I just cracked my knuckles and stretched my arms, yawning softly. I sat more comfortably, appeased with my position and every now and then, I steal fleeting glimpse from each and everyone. Chiefly, their faces interpret the burning ill-omened emotion they're going through with what I assumed to be the last items in the exam. Frankly, I was having that look earlier and I'm not gonna lie about it. 

                   Deep in my slumber of thoughts, something came up as an intrusion. Realization hit me when I noticed that the student beside me was that boy from the other day. Oh dear god, his gaze was secure, unwavering and it held an unreadable expression. Piercing me with his soothing eyes, I can feel myself a captive of its heavenly feature that drowned me in a sufficient passion..... 

SO HELP ME GOD!

                   'What the heck are you doing Stell! Is that a ritual cause it's pretty much close-at-hand with a prayer,'  I mentally cursed at myself and averted my eyes from him.

                   "Why are you looking at me like that?" I whispered at him while staring at the now flipped over test paper of mine. I did not dare look at the side where I could still feel his eyes heeding me. 

                   "I wonder about that," he chuckled softly and placing his elbow on the arm of the chair and resting his chin on the palm of his hand while gaping at me in amusement. 

                   "Pssh, stop the stare. It's creepy," I shuddered mockingly.

                   "For some reason, I can't."

                   "Why can't you?"

                   "You're so good to be true," he whispered, "......can't take my eyes off of you."

                   "W-what?!" I muttered lowly under my breath and looked at him. "You look like a tomato," he chuckled softly. 

Shoot. 

                   I looked like a tomato?! That means.. Oh my god, I did just blush didn't I?! I'm going to say it one more time. Now, slowly with every word.

This. 

Guy.

Is.

Super.

Officially.

UNBELIEVABLE!

                   I had to intake an ocean of oxygen in my lungs so I wouldn't pass out and die. Yes, an ocean of oxygen because this is just too much for me to handle, blame my teenage hormones! I don't even know how to react after that, I just widened my eyes at him and mentally slapped myself for blushing at what he said. "T-thank you fellow student?" I stuttered and did not bother to look him again in the eyes and it bashed me actually to not even know his name. We're classmates, the hell!  And before I knew it, the bell rang and it was time to go home. Typical time of the bell for the achievement test.

                   "Ezra!" I giggled at her and she stared at me with confusion in her eyes,"So how well did you handle the last item in Chem.?" I grinned from ear to ear when her mood became blissful so I waited for her reply. "Well, I'll explain how I got it," she simpered and wrote on the white board.

Ksp = [Ca][F]^2

[Ca] = x = [F] / 2

                   "So, three point eight times 10 to the power of negative eleven is equals to x, the variable with the power of three raised over four. Solve for x. This will give you the moles of the solution and, assuming that there are one liter number of moles of Calcium fluoride that can dissolve. Multiply by the molar mass of Calcium fluoride to find the grams that are dissolved and you have your answer in gram per liter," she paused looking at me and examined my look as she instantly gave me a friendly rub on the back. 

My look was..

PRICELESS. 

                   I can't understand a thing since half of my mind drifted of to nothingness while my other half listened half-heartedly to Ezra's lecture. 

                   "Lol, Stella. You can do it!" Ezra cheered and I just walked disconsolated and stabbed in the brain where my knowledge lies. I studied but I just forgot! Okay, maybe I did not study a lot on the whole thing on the last item but it's five items, you hear me?! Sighing defeatedly, I just walked through the campus' gate and fairly enough, it was the first time I noticed that boy leaning against the wall outside and I could see from the corner of his eyes, he's scanning me and my..... downcast aura.

                   "What happened?" He asked, still firm on his ground as I shook my head and composed myself to the normal me again, "Just the last item on the test..." I mumbled, almost inaudible to anyone even an inch away from me. "Heh? You did your best anyway. There's nothing to regret. Nothing to forlorn and nothing to be pessimistic of," he gave me one of those comely and heart-warming smile that calms me in a way that I almost think it's creepy how he could do that but, the curve on his lips gave me a reassurance.

                   "Rein. Rein Gaskin. You're Stella hn?" He smirked, "More people learn by their mistakes if they aren't busy despairing about it. You shall move on."

                   "Now now, don't get too all wisdom guy stuff there," I punched him lightly in the arm and laughed. He made a dramatic face saying, "Ow!" I stuck out a tongue at him and burst out into fit of giggles.

Rein..

Rein Gaskins.

It's true that this guy is unbelievable.

Unbelievable in a good way.
