"Hey. It's fine. No need to apologize. I bumped into someone. That's why I'm late. Sor-"
"You?" that husky guy whom i bumped into said.
"You're the guy i bumped into. Right?" i asked.
"Yes. By the way, i'm Hero Blanco. Kiera's friend. And you must be Anikka? Right? She often talks about you. That's why you look familiar." he said with a wide smile on his face.
"Oh. I hope she doesn't tell bad things about me." i joked to break the ice.
He held my gaze.
"Not really." he said without breaking the eye contact.
"Ehem. May I remind you that the one whom you're talking about is right here." Kiera said pionting to where she is.
"I know." we said at the same time.
"Oh great. Now it's time for Daphne and I to meet Xander. We need to go. Enjoy each other's company. 'Bye." she said.
Then they left. It feels akward now that there's only the two of us.
