Lost Star

Chapter 12

As Vincent had planned, he stayed again in the room copying the lessons from the whiteboard.

Clare: "Tin, I'll go ahead. My mom is already outside."

Anne: "Me too."

Christine: "It's okay."

Clare: "Vince. Will it be okay if you will accompany Christine while she is waiting for her Lola."

Vincent: "Sure. No problem."

Anne, Clare, and Christine looked at each other and seemed to want to convey something.

For several days, Vincent has stayed to accompany Christine inside the room while waiting for her Lola. Though, they are shy to talk to each other until one day.

Christine: "Hi. Won't you be late for your shuttle?"

Vincent: "They know that I am here and they would call me in case the shuttle leaves."

Christine: "I see. Vincent, I would like to say Thank you for doing this."

Vincent: "No problem. What happened to your back?"

Christine: "Well, you see I had a backache for about a week and the doctor advised me to avoid carrying heavy bags. That is why Lola fetched me here. But I feel okay now. "

Vincent: "It's good to hear that."

Vincent smiles at Christine and vice versa.

Then, they speak at the same time.

Vincent and Christine: "I need to tell you something."

Vincent: "Hahaha. You first."

Christine: "No. You first."

Vincent: " Um. Tin? I have a crush on you."

Christine: "Oh. Those are the same words that I would tell you. Hahaha."

Vincent: "Wait. Really? Yay."

At that moment, everything is quiet. Both Christine and Vincent are elated. Their eyes sparkled and their faces glowed.
