CHAPTER 12

We are presently here at our classroom, and it's time for our HRM class. Our professor isn't here yet, and I am starting to get bored, so I chose to grab my phone and play Clash of Clans.

I know it sounds stupid for me to play this shitty little application game, but I don't really have time for other shits like chitchatting with the people around me, since I am still in my recovery mode from what I have just seen earlier this morning. I still can't hide my feeling against seeing Louis with that slut. 

Louis. Louis. Louis.

Fuck! Just get off my head!!

"Hey bitch! Sup?" Patrice touches my shoulder.

"Shut the fuck up. I'm not in the mood" I tell her without even bothering to look at her, and I directly put my headsets on my ears.

"Woaaaah! You still hurt, huh?" She sends me a smirk while she removes the left end of the headset from my left ear.

"I am not in the mood, Pat" I told her honestly. "Just..just drop that topic already. I don't wanna talk about it. Neither do I want to hear anything about him" 

"Alrighty then." She says and lets out a laugh. "Just fix your shit Jenz, because to be frankly honest, you look pale and dry. Where's the bitchy Jennifer Oldenburg with her shining red lips, huh?" She teases me and she laughs while dramatically waving her arms.

"Nothing's changed" I said. 

From my peripheral vision, I could see Marrian and Alexandra talking. I was thinking of talking to Arzel and ask her what she was doing at the mall yesterday. But unfortunately, she belongs to another course class together with JL and Angelica. Fudge -_-

After that nonsense conversation I had with Patrice, I notice Miss Dinter enter the classroom holding some papers on her hand. "Uhm, good afternoon class. I'm sorry for being late, I just needed to fix some papers and other important stuff"

"Good afternoon, Miss" The class replies in unison, and moments later, I see Patrice go back to her usual seat.

"So..yeah. Today, I will be assigning you with your permanent partners for our upcoming cooking practicums in this semester. In case you aren't comfortable with them, you are free to raise your hands and tell me your concerns. Am I clear?" 

"Yes, miss"

"And by the way, before I assign you your partners, I would first want to introduce to you our new comer." The time she uttered those words, she peeks at the classroom door and gestures someone to come in.

A few seconds have passed before the person enters the room. Everyone was silent, anticipating for a student to come in, and I can not seem to sink in what's happening.

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

"Everyone, meet Harry, our new HRM student" Miss Dinter smiles at Harry then looks at the whole class. The rest of the people inside the room have been clapping their hands as a gesture of welcoming this new student, while I was stuck on my chair with my eyes unmoved, and my mouth slightly opened.

Harry?? Serious-fucking-ly? Of all the people, why him? This is some kind of joke -_-

"So, Harry, mind introducing yourself?" Miss Dinter tells him, and he moves near the center table.

"Hi, I'm Harry. Harry Edward Styles. I'm from England and I've just migrated here in New York last week. I also was an HRM student there, and I'm glad to be here in MU. I'm looking forward for great experiences with you all." He smiles at everyone after introducing himself. He seems not to notice me yet, and he's busy scanning the rest of the class.

You have got to be joking me, Harry. 

So he's an HRM student too? Why didn't he tell me then? Lol, like I care.

Drowned in my thoughts, I didn't notice that Eljean, my seatmate, have been transferred to another seat at the back, as ordered by Miss Dinter; and this stranger Harry took his place. So, we're seatmates now? Great. Just great!!!

"Hi, Jennifer" Harry greets me simply and I look at him without any expression on my face.

"Hey" I answered awkwardly. I still couldn't imagine that this person has been with me yesterday, and that I fucking kissed him in the lips! Gosh.

"Surprised?" He asks.

"Kind of."

"I'm glad we're classmates" He tells me, and I didn't bother to respond. We hear Miss Dinter start talking again, and I place my jaw on my hand as my elbow stands on the desk of my chair.

"So, apparently, I partnered you with someone with a purpose." Miss Dinter says and everyone shifts to listen to her attentively. "This time, I will be announcing your associates"  She smiles once more and started looking at her class record.

"Alexandra White Rodriguez and John Mikko Miller."

"Patrice Jane Austen and Nino Angelo Hernandez."

"Marrian Chriselle Moore and Eljean Adams"

I listen to each pair she is mentioning, and I correctly remember my bestfriends' partners. Ugh. Lucky them. They are partnered with cooperative students. I'm quite curious on who mine is gonna be. I hope I get to be partnered with that nerd named Christian Philip, because he seems to be really a good leader, and he could actually do the practicum all by himself even if I would not be around.

We all listen to other partners our professor mentions. Some are indeed really happy and excited to work with their buddies. Some are surprised and some are nervous.

"And lastly, I would pair up Mister Harry Edward Styles with our class topnatcher, Miss Jennifer Consuelo Oldenburg. I chose you Jenz, because I know you could handle your new classmate well. And, I know you are skillful enough to be working with him. He still needs to adjust with his new environment, so I'm expecting you'd help him coup up with that." Our teacher smiles at me, and I am still fucking shocked about what she just said.

Fucking shit. Why him again? Ughhhhhhhhh. 

"Will it be okay with you Jenz?" She asks once more.

"Yeah. It's...uhm..it's o-okay" I stutter, and at the back of my mind, I'm cussing.

What the fuck is planet earth playing with me? Why do I always get to be with this stranger?

I am again stuck in no choice, and here I am, agreeing to be partnered with this curly-haired boy named Harry Styles. Goodness gracious and holy heavens!
